“Congratulations Mrs. Armstrong! ” Stockholders are delighted to congratulate Selene on her successful presentation of the structure's introduction.Everyone greeted her and held her hand, except Avery, who left the conference room immediately because she was irritated."Thank you so much, everyone." Selene smiled at everyone, while she was shaking their hands.While Lyon was staring at Selene for being so proud of herself."You are really lucky that you have a gorgeous and intelligent wife." The senior partner proudly told Lyon.Lyon nodded, “I hundred percent agree on it. Thanks, Stepen. ”The senior partner patted him on the back and exited the conference room.After everything was out, Selene couldn't control herself and hugged Lyon tightly."My God, Lyon, I can't explain how happy I am right now. I did it! ” she says."I'm so proud of you, Selene," he said, smiling as he looked into her eyes.After their embrace, Selene suddenly remembered her parents, knowing that if they were s
Midnight at the mansion...the rain and lightning are intense. Lyon is walking down the stairs and would seem surprised by the silence around him, hearing only the heavy rain and lightning outside."Selene?" Lyon began to call out to his wife, but no one seemed to hear him. "Selene!" Lyon called out again and again, as if he were a child lost in the dark. He looked around the entire mansion but couldn't see Selene, not even in the library. It was obvious that he had just woken up and was surprised that his wife was not by his side; she didn't even leave any letter or text message to tell him where to go.He continued to search, until he heard a scream from a woman on the other side of the mansion, he immediately ran to see it and was surprised by what he witnessed.His mother was surrounded by men and his father was shot in front of him."Noooooooo!" he yelled angrily........"Hey hey..Lyon." Selene suddenly worried when she heard Lyon’s scream when he woke up. "Hey, what happen
"Madam, Sir Lucas is waiting downstairs." Susan said.Selene nodded, she patted Lyon again because of his tight embrace. She noticed that he was not moving, then she realized that he had fallen asleep. She slowly released her body from Lyon's arms, she kissed him on the forehead before she left the room....Lucas turned to her, "How's Lyon?""He is resting again." she sighed and sat on the sofa."What do you want to ask me?" Lucas asked her, wondering what she wanted to say.She groaned.. "Lucas..do you still remember the time when you told me about Lyon's parents, his mommy and your daddy.."Lucas frowned, "Yes” he muttered, "What's that about?"A few seconds before she began to speak, Selene turned to face him "Um, I think he had a nightmare about them last night...He was so afraid, he looked different than before. It was the first time I had ever seen him so terrified; I felt as though I were speaking to a younger Lyon.Lucas ceased speaking. He bowed slightly, "Maybe he dreamed
Lyon doesn't let go of his grip on Selene while he takes his medicine.Then Selene put down a glass of water as well as Lyon's medicine on the table after Lyon had taken."Are you truly like that when you take medicine? Clinging close and shaking hands." Selene asked him.Lyon rolled his eyes. "My last take is that my Mommy is still taking care of me." he answered sadly.Selene was silent, "You mean, even when you get sick, you never take medicine?""I had taken it when I had an accident, remember?" Lyon returned to bed, but he continued to clutch at Selene.Selene's expression abruptly altered as she recalled back to those days when Lyon hadn't remembered her, "Amora took care of you, not me."Lyon stopped, "I don't remember everything about those times. Selene. If only I remembered you, do you think I would let you disappear from my side?”Selene nodded slightly, "I know." she breathed deeply. "Lyon...what did you see in your nightmare last night?" as she switched the topic of conve
Kevin placed the papers on Avery's desk. “It needs to be signed by all of you investors. I'll present these papers at the meeting," he says.Avery frowned. "Why are you the one to show that? Where is Selene?”Kevin sighed. "They can't go to work yet because Lyon is still taking care of a lot of things.""What? Lyon just had a fever..and then why is Selene's exaggerated—”"Wait, wait," Kevin said, interrupting her. "How did you know that Lyon had a fever? No one knows about it except me.” Kevin wondered.Avery was completely silent because she didn't think her emotions would cause her to slip. She shouldn't be able to say that she has contact with Edward."Mr. Thompson, you might be forgetting that you told me about that," Avery interjected. "I think you've been thinking too much and have forgotten everything else.""No. I didn't tell you anything, Ms. Venin. Maybe you're the one who forgot, and where did you get that news? A lot of things are being arranged by the couple now, and you'
It's ten o'clock at night when Stephen and Avery decide to meet at a restaurant that isn't particularly well-known in order to ensure that no rich and famous people, — especially the Armstrong or their own staff, see them."Why did you even think of meeting me at this hour?" Avery asked him irritably. Almost as soon as she arrived, food was already served on her table.She looked at the other side of the table, there was also a reserved food under it. She frowned, "Did you invite someone else?"Stephen sneered. He looked towards the entrance, Avery also looked there where she noticed a tall and slender man wearing a black suit jacket. He walks towards them."Thank you for your patience. I guess I'm late." said the man as he approached the two of them.Stephen happily introduced him to Avery. "Ms. Avery Venin, meet Harry Peterson, the competitor of the Armstrong.”Avery was almost taken aback because she was finally facing what she had been eagerly awaiting for a long time, the one tha
Kevin took Lyon to a side of the building where people rarely passed. Lyon wondered why they had to go so far to talk to Selene on the phone."What the hell, Kalen—""Lyon please..listen to me." he said seriously. He looked around again because someone might have followed them. "I saw a senior partner and Avery looking at each other when you were about to say the secret strategy..believe me or not, I know they are in cahoots and they have a relationship with the competitor who suddenly set up a book publishing in front of the construction site." Kevin explained.Lyon frowned at everything he said. "What are you talking about?"Kevin sighed. "I have a strong hunch that they are traitors to the company.""Really? When did a lawyer become so judgmental, huh?" Lyon pondered.Kevin sighed. "Lyon please..as a lawyer I strongly suspect that everything I notice in people is right. I know how to read people...so please don't believe me as a lawyer, but rather as someone who will always protect
At ES hospital, Selene and Reign secretly saw a doctor. Fortunately, Selene explained well what was bothering her, Reign understood her easily because they were both women and she was already a mother."Are you sure Lyon won't find out we're seeing an OB today?" Reign asked as they waited for the doctor to examine Selene.Selene sighed. "It depends on what happens Reign," she replied sadly, "but he still deserved to know, because even if I can't handle whatever the result is, at least I have him by my side." she answered sadly.Reign stroked her back. "Hey, don't think negatively; maybe there's nothing wrong with you; maybe the signs that you are really pregnant are just late."Selene's tears were about to fall when she wiped them away. "Reign, I haven't had my period in months," she admits..Reign sighed, wishing that their suspicions were wrong.After a while, the doctor arrived, before starting the check up, Reign said goodbye to Selene and then left for a while.Although Selene is
"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
