Lyon's office.Just as Kevin entered, Lyon immediately spoke. "When did you learn to disobey me?"Kevin stopped. He seemed to have figured out what Lyon meant."I just went to see her," Kevin replied clearly.."Did you see the guy?" Lyon suddenly asked sadly.Kevin noticed that Lyon's expression changed. He nodded. "Yeah. Dr. Scott from the event."Lyon sighed. "I knew it."“I still find it hard to imagine that Selene is currently with the same man with whom you had a conflict in England.”Lyon simply stopped speaking when he ran out of words."Later there is a meeting with some business partners from England. I need to prepare. The work I left behind for the orphanage, you will take care of it first." Lyon's conversation changed."Orphanage?"Lyon arose. "Yeah. Is there something wrong with that?"Kevin grinned. “The orphanage will get a donation from Lyon Armstrong. That’s quite surprising.”Lyon rolled his eyes. "Just do what I'm asking you to do. I'll get ready." he took his suit a
"Good evening, Mr. Armstrong, I'd like you to meet Ms. Avery Venin, our new business partner," The stockholder introduced her, at the same time Avery entered the conference.Lyon stopped, that woman looked familiar to him. He stood up and approached Avery."Good evening, Mr. Armstrong. You seem surprised to see me again.” Avery greeted him with a smile as she held out her hand.Lyon ignored her hand. "Nice to see you again, Ms. Avery.” he answered without even paying attention to her handshake.Avery was disappointed by Lyon's actions. She didn’t say anything, instead she sat on a chair. "So...let's start the meeting?"Lyon signaled to his secretary to start the meeting. He doesn't want to be with Avery for a long time especially and he knows that his new business partner is attracted to him.When Kevin arrived, he stopped when he saw Avery. "Ohhh."Lyon noticed his astonishment, "What do you need, Kevin?""Um.." Kevin immediately approached Lyon and handed over some papers and certif
One week later"So... you have a wife?" Avery suddenly asked Lyon, while he was currently busy with work.Lyon gave her a harsh look before speaking, "What are you doing here?"On the couch next to Lyon's desk, Avery sat. In her short coffee-brown dress and extremely high heels, she makes an attempt to seduce Lyon. She shifted her right leg over her left to display her left leg's flawless white skin.But Lyon doesn't seem to be paying attention to her at all."Do you have anything to do later?" Avery asked him."Don't you have anything else to do that's why you're bothering me now?" Lyon asked back, barely looking at her.Avery rolled her eyes. "Let's have dinner tonight. In my restaurant, I want you to see how successful my business is." Avery said directly, she didn't flinch anymore because Lyon wasn't paying attention to her."I'm not interested." Lyon answered briefly.Avery sighed and stood up. "Please, if it's because of the kiss I gave you in England, I'm sorry. I'm just drunk.
Selene handled the dessert almost carefully to Avery's table. She kept her eyes on the dessert as she walked, feeling as though the dessert would fall no matter how she moved her hand.When she got close to the table, she looked at the two people in front of her with a smile. But she stopped when she saw her husband's appearance. Wearing a white longsleeve and looking handsome tonight. Even Lyon couldn't believe what he saw. What on earth is his wife doing here? He noticed that Selene's clothing was soaked and that practically all of her hair was not tied properly.Selene held the dessert in her hand until she lost all control of her grip and let it fall on the ground. The plate broke in front of Lyon."Oh my god!" Avery's reaction.Selene promptly apologized after realizing what she was holding was broken and picked up each broken plate one at a time. She also used her pocket rag to wipe the spilled dessert.Lyon was unable to move in shock. He found it hard to believe Selene was wo
Edward's car door was swiftly shut by Selene, who then hurriedly rushed towards the apartment."Selene, wait!" Edward called to her to come out quickly. "Can you tell me what happened?"Again, Selene wiped away her tears. “I was right to suspect that he was seeing that girl,” she admits. The sorrow was obvious in her eyes."Is that the real reason why you're acting like that?"Selene fell silent. She just sat down and held her head. "I-I don't know. Now he knows that I know that our marriage was fake. He no longer has the right to force me to come back or give me an order.”Edward sat down next to Selene and muttered. "It's a good thing I came right away. Maybe he did something on you.”Selene looked at Edward."Did you quit your job? Why don't you work at the hospital; I know something that can be done for you there." Edward suggested."I'm fine, Edward. I don't want to leave the restaurant because I have a good relationship with my co-workers..”"How about Avery? Now that she is awa
In the distance, Selene could see the blue and white balloons and lights hanging outside Reign and Lucas's house.Since she hadn't been to this place in a year, she felt a sudden rush of anxiousness. Times when she and Lyon were still visiting Baby Reid. Now she's the only one going, she has to put aside her anger towards Lyon even if it's just tonight for Baby Reid.Lucas turned to Selene. She received a warm welcome. "Hi, thanks for coming."She felt relieved when she hugged Lucas. "Thanks Lucas.""Come on, Baby Reid is waiting for you inside."Selene smiled and followed Lucas into the house....Inside the car, Lyon felt different. He knew that he and Selene would see each other again tonight, after their unpleasant conversation a few days ago he seemed to doubt seeing her. He was aware that Selene wouldn't look happy to see him either."I didn't expect that your nephew is a year old now, Lyon." Kevin said.They are currently inside the car."Me too, I was shocked." he responded
It took some time for her and Lyon to become comfortable in that way; she couldn't have imagined how she would feel in his close embrace. She felt as though she was in a safe place as all of her suffering and rage seemed to vanish.She opened her eyes, Lyon's head was still resting on her shoulder. She smelled the alcohol on Lyon's breath, that's when she realized he was drunk."L-Lyon.." she said, lightly patting Lyon's arm that was clinging to her waist but he didn't seem to pay attention to her."L-Lyon.." she said again and then she faced Lyon.Lyon opened his eyes, his bluish eyes seemed to shine while looking at her, Lyon's lips seemed to invite her to touch it.Lyon raised his right hand to caress Selene's cheek. He slowly brought his face closer to Selene's face. He tries to kiss her lips.Selene was on the verge of shaking as she waited for Lyon's lips to touch hers. She touched Lyon's cheek as if she agreed with what he wanted to do.That's when Lyon captured Selene's lips,
"Edward..what's wrong with you? D-Do you have a problem? Did something happen to you at work?" Selene asked him in surprise.Selene knew that there was absolutely no reason for him to get angry or raise his voice.Edward shook his head, noticing that he seemed to have overreacted. "S-Sorry. Um..yeah you're right there's just a problem at work.” Edward excused himself."What happened?"“We just did a lot. There are a lot of complaining patients..we can't do anything but fix their concerns.." explained Edward.Selene nodded. " I understand. Sorry I kept you waiting last night. Um—”"You don't need to apologize, Selene. And...it seems like you and your ex-husband have made up. So... I'm happy for you." Edward smiled slightly, even though inside he was annoyed.Selene smiled a little. "You're right, I decided to get back together with him. Um..I realized that being separated from each other is not healthy for us. Maybe it's like that when you love someone so much, you are ready to forget
"Lyon, my baby boy." a voice woke up Lyon who was fast asleep. He slowly opened his eyes. He immediately woke up to see his father and mother smiling at him."Dad..Mom," he says."Son, I'm so proud of you." his father said. "I didn't expect you to be this brave to defend me and your Mom. But this is all I can tell you, that in the midst of all our sins, you did the right thing to come and talk to him." he continued.Oscar stroked Lyon's hair. “I know you will be a great and good father to your son. Always shared the things that I always tell you. In the midst of a chaotic world, always choose to be a good person." he smiled.Lyon's tears fell. "Dad, the lives of Selene and my son are in danger. W-What should I do?" he asked his father.His mother was smiling looking at him. “Lyon, all this is just a challenge. God just waited for you to come to him, and you didn’t fail him. Everything is fine, son.” she responds.Lyon was about to speak when he suddenly woke up. He seems to have under
"Poor Lyon. When life is getting better and favored by them, then this happens." Lucas said.Reign looked at him sadly. "Out of everything the two of them have been through, this is the worst, Lucas. Thinking about the poor child in Selene's womb, it makes me depressed." she answered crying.Lucas wiped his eyes out crying "I don't know what pain Lyon is feeling right now, my brother doesn't deserve it, especially Selene, they are good people." he says."Let's just pray that everything will be fine and that both Selene and the child will be saved. God's mercy is great.”....Lyon stood up, he looked around and he didn't realize that he had arrived in front of the church inside the hospital. He hesitates to go inside because first of all, since his parents died, he has forgotten that there is a God.He swallowed, he knew that it wouldn't help him either because he believed in God then but the course of his life didn't change.Closing his eyes, he continued to walk but something seem
“Selene…Selene!” Lyon shouted as he followed Selene with the doctors running her inside the hospital.He held her hands, while Selene looked at Lyon with weak and pleading eyes."L-Lyon..." Selene said slowly, she could barely speak.There was a lot of blood that spread on her and in her current situation it seems that there is a possibility that the life of the baby in her belly is in danger."My love, you will be better." Lyon said and then kissed Selene on the forehead. Selene was quickly admitted to the emergency room.Lyon was punching the wall, he wanted to scream in anger. He felt that he had failed in protecting his wife and their son.Lucas ran to his brother.“Brother!” He immediately hugged him. Lyon looked down and cried on Lucas's shoulder.While Reign and Susan were crying on the other side. Continue to pray for the safety of Selene and the baby.Kevin and Ava are also walking towards them. When Kevin saw Lyon crying, he approached him and hugged him."Lyon." he just sa
A masculine man pulled Lyon closer to Arnold. They did not stop him from beating him, punching him in the face and all over his body. His whole body was full of wounds that seemed to be tortured well. Lyon has almost no strength to fight, he only has one eye to see.His body was almost red from the blood flowing from his wounds. Arnold was happy as he watched him like that."Hmm, you remind me of your father, Lyon." he said happily.The man made Lyon kneel and pulled him by the hair so he could look up at Arnold. He barely had the strength to fight back or even speak.But he still looked bravely at Arnold."Y-You weak fucking shit." Lyon said weakly to him.Arnold was annoyed so he ordered to punch Lyon in the mouth again. "Your mouth is too foul, young Armstrong." he says.Lyon's head is bowed, no strength.Arnold walked around in Lyon’s place. He sighed, “Hmm, I miss this place. Wherein was the end of my mortal enemy, Oscar Bridgetons.” he says.Lyon could do nothing but listen to w
"What's going on upstairs?" Reign asked restlessly. She walked back and forth while Baby Reid was carried by Susan.For the time being they sit on one side and pray that everything will be alright."Oscar, Irene.. guide your son, Lyon as well as his brother Lucas. Selene who is innocent and carries the poor baby in her womb. Don't let history repeat itself with your son, he needs the guidance of both of you." Susan begged in tears as she looked up.Everyone looked at her, maybe she was talking to Lyon's late parents.Reign sat closer and hugged the old woman....When Kevin arrived at the old mansion, he immediately got out of the car. He also took up a sharp weapon and slung it around his waist. He walked slowly into the mansion, passing many dead people on the floor. He recognized them as not being Lyon's men.He encountered an enemy outside and immediately shot him.That caught the attention of Lyon and Arnold. At that time Lyon's men started to fight with Orvin. Lyon wasted no t
"Why haven't they come back yet?" Reign asked nervously as she carried the sleeping Baby Reid.Killain was uncomfortable as well, so he decided to follow them upstairs."Killain, what are you doing?" Rudy asked immediately."Dad, I'll just look for them." Kian immediately ran out of the underground. He dashed up the stairs to find Selene and Lucas, who hadn't returned in almost half an hour.But he immediately stopped walking when he noticed the unknown people around. They were wearing long black suits and seemed to be carrying weapons. He looked at the top of the room and there he saw Lucas's naked body that was unconscious and with both hands hanging, with the two men watching over him.He became nervous and quickly returned to the underground, locking the door behind him.He was terrified and almost couldn't breathe because of what he saw. Reign became tense as she hugged Baby Reid. Kian's face was trembling with fear."Where are Lucas and Selene?" she trembledly asked Killain."I-
Ava can't stop crying knowing that her father is dead. She never talked to him and told him how much she loved him. This time, she knows he did the right thing, even if it meant risking his life. The important thing is that he did it for her safety and also for her beloved Kevin.Crying filled the cage where they were both locked, it was painful for Kevin to see Ava crying especially and he couldn't do anything, nor could he help Ellias in the fight.It seems like sad music that he hears, until finally he proves that a father's love is different.Until Orvin appeared to them, he shot the man guarding the two of them and quickly opened their railing.The slow motion action was tinged with grief as Kevin ran to hug Ava.Orvin supports the two as they walk. He also gave them a gun for their protection.At this time, their opponents are few. The Armstrong had a great match between the Petersons. Until everything becomes clear. Filled with silence."My Dad, where is my Dad?" Ava continued
Ellias put more pressure on burying the knife he was holding in Harold's stomach. Harold's big eyes are slowly squinting because of his laughing expression."Hahahaha." Harold laughed loudly while Ellias was surprised because there was no blood coming out of Harold's body or even weakness, he didn't feel it either.Until Harold grabbed the knife and showed to Ellias that the one he had given him was a fake.Ellias' eyes widened in shock; he hadn't expected it."You think I'll just trust you like that, Ellias?" Harold asked, laughing.When Lyon heard that, he came to a halt and looked for a hiding spot."Ellias, what's going on?" Lyon asked from the ear pad. Ellias did not respond, instead staring at Harold while holding the fake knife."I know you're planning something bad for me," Harold continued, pulling out the real knife, which was the blade's core.Ellias swallowed, wondering how he would make the way to fight Harold. He didn't even have a gun because he had surrendered to the m
"What's going on?" asked Lyon, because for some time there was silence in the way they used to communicate with each other.Orvin immediately repaired the laptop from which the recording was made. "Someone isn't connected," Orvin explained."It's probably Kevin," Lyon said, rolling his eyes."Lyon, we need to go inside; there's a signal from one of my people; they've changed their clothes," Daniel said on the other end of the line."Wait for my order, Daniel; Kevin hasn't responded yet." Lyon replied seriously, worried because he hadn't heard from Kevin.Until the signal returned to Kevin's station gradually."L-Lyon," Kevin stammered."What's going on, Kalen?" Lyon wondered aloud, a little concerned.“I had a hard time taking out my ear pad. I have seen the ones you can pass through. Many men are inside surrounding Harold Peterson, I am here now inside the rails, it is very difficult for me to move because anytime they can catch me." Kevin said in a hurry, almost whispering so he wou
