The trip to Los Angeles takes less than two hours from New York. Initially, they all went to the hospital to visit Aidan. The hospital was full of Aidan Caesar's family. In the end, only a few people were allowed into Malikha's treatment room.
James and Bryan chose to wait outside for a while until Arjoona, Jayden, Mars, and Shawn came back in after seeing Aidan's condition.
"How is she?" James asked a little impatiently.
"Still under treatment. I think the baby will be born soon; Aidan will be staying with her," answered Joona, and James nodded in understanding.
"Let's just wait!"
Outside, Jayden then asked Erikson and Grey to take all the children of The Seven Wolves, along with their nanny, to the booked hotel. Meanwhile, the parents will wait in the family waiting room. They rented a luxury hotel for all the family members who would stay with Aidan.
"Uncle Grey, where are we going?" Rei asked Grey, who accompanied him, to escort the chil
Delilah had severe contractions within an hour of being taken to the hospital. James had no time to change his pajamas, which didn't match his top. But never mind; James doesn't care about his appearance anymore. He often appears to no longer match his attire. There was one time when he actually wore sandals to the lobby and prepared to get into the car to go to the office. Luckily, none of the employees dared to laugh at him at all.This time, he will officially become a father. Grey, who was also in alert mode, was forced to jump out of bed in the early hours of the morning because Delilah's water broke. Lenora didn't want to come because she was still sleepy, so she let Grey go.Now in the treatment room and waiting for the perfect opening, Delilah hugged James while standing with Grey, who also stood up, stroking Delilah's back."AHHH!" Delilah screamed in pain when the contraction occurred again. James could only continue to hug and calm his wife, but in fa
A man was panting and walking while holding a gunshot wound in his stomach. He walked with some cuts on his face and wounds on his body. His bodyguards hadn't arrived, and he had to try to protect himself.His colleague betrayed him. He was trapped in a meeting that turned out to be aimed at getting rid of him. Unfortunately, he told his men to leave."Damn it, I'll kill him later!" cursed the man, gasping, while grabbing his shot wound. He rechecked his gun and was ready to shoot anyone who closed.Now 20 people are looking for him along the empty street of Salita Cacciottoli. Desperately, he got out and fired his last bullets at them who chased after him like hungry dogs.Some gunshots erupted as he ran with his last remaining strength and unbearable pain in his abdomen."Il Cazzo!" (bastard) he cursed and reshot. The men who didn't get hit kept on chasing and were ready to kill him off once they got him. The man chose to jump into a sewer to hide. He would never surrender to die to
"Wait a minute! But I'm not his girlfriend. I never knew him!" Delilah insisted."Miss, we have to carry out the operation. Someone who has a relationship with the patient must sign it," the nurse explained to her again."But,""It's only formality matters, Miss." The nurse cut Delilah's thought. Delilah still has doubts and has not confirmed the consent yet. After another glance at the man named James, it touched Delilah's heart. She couldn't bear to leave the man inoperable just because she didn't want to sign the paper. Delilah finally nodded after rethinking. After all, she would never meet that man in the future. Naples is a big city for someone to accidentally see each other again.“I don't think he'll remember me either. So, there's nothing wrong by signing it.” Delilah thought to herself. Delilah finally agreed and signed the paper. She was hoping that the man would recover quickly.They operated the man in the OR shortly after that, leaving Delilah in the hospital hallway. No
Delilah looked down at her shirts once Stefano spoke about them. Stefano had just finished eating when he sneered at her mockingly about Delilah's fashion style."Look at yourself! I've never seen a girl who wears an oversized shirt like you! You look older like a grandma! I even thought you were my aunt who lived in Sicily," Stefano abruptly mocked her for more. Delilah is not a girl who picks up an argument with someone. She is not a talkative person. Therefore, she preferred to back off instead. Stefano leaned forward by placing both arms and pressing against the table in front of Delilah."I'm ashamed of my friends. They start talking about you because we are dating. Huh, I don't know how to talk about this to you anymore. Didn't I say to buy new clothes and get rid off your ponytail?" Delilah held her hair in a ponytail and innocently examined herself. Stefano, who glimpsed at her, shook in disbelief."Another thing, I need 75 Euros. There is something I want to buy," Stefano chi
The pain in his wound that had drained a lot of blood was probably nothing compared to the shameful anger that James Belgenza had experienced this time. He trusted his mistress who turned out to set a trap to kill him.James wanted to kill that woman now due to his wrath, but he just became conscious. His physical condition didn't allow him to make a sudden move like sitting or walking.Earth Lewis, the head of Belgenza's bodyguard, had waited anxiously for his Master for two nights."Are you awake, Sir?" asked Earth further. James turned to Earth coldly and nodded very slowly. Earth shook and lowered his head slightly."What happened to me?" James asked in a weak voice."Miss Michele Luiz scammed you in the dinner, Sir. It turned out that she was Emilio Rodriguez's wife. I'm sorry, Sir, I should have done something to her earlier," said Earth with a regretful tone."It's not your fault, Earth. I'm the one who wasn't careful and ignored your warnings all this time.""That's why I'd pr
From one of the managers at his company, James received an offer for a business partnership with an Indonesian businessman in Hong Kong, Jayden Lin. SJ Corporation is looking for partners to expand its electronics and gadget technology business in Asia. One of James' subsidiaries is indeed engaged in the same field, and working with SJ is the right choice.From there, they met at a hotel in Singapore. Jayden looks like a kind and friendly businessman from Southeast Asia."My name is Jayden Lin.""James Belgenza. Please have a seat!" James invited his new guest he had just met to talk a lot about their business and cooperation. Talking to Jayden was enjoyable for James. They were like an old friend who immediately fitted to each other.James found that Jayden was a candidate for the famous Golden Dragon gangster leader until the second meeting. He became more interested in making friends with him."So you are the next supreme leader of the Golden Dragon?" James asked Jayden as they wer
Chapter 6. The Debt"Where is your son!" James gritted at Mark. He shook his head and refused to answer."Do you know who I am?" Mark was initially looking down, then looked up to see James' stern cast. Mark identified who James Belgenza is. Naples acknowledged him as the most famous casino owner named Daga Nero and the most powerful man in the city."I-I…" Mark stuttered to say something."Those who steal from me mostly die. Do you wish for it too?" Mark shook his head breathlessly and sought to confess to James. He knelt and grabbed James by the leg begging for mercy."Please forgive me. I didn't know this casino was yours, sir!" Mark lied. James snorted and then chuckled sarcastically."You are a scumbag. Isn't there anything worth that you may do in your life?" Mark fell silent to look up over. James suddenly grasped Mark's coat collar to get him up and pushed him against the wall. His hands clutched Mark's neck."Which one
Delilah had just returned from her flower shop and found that her apartment door was unlocked. Her eyes widened as she thought that her father must have come home. She instantly went inside without a second thought and only regretted it after."Who are you!" Delilah shrieked shockingly and dropped her bag. She was shocked when she saw that her father had been severely beaten. Delilah came over to her father."Dad, are you okay?" Delilah raised a question with a timid expression and was on the verge of crying."What happened? Who are they?" Delilah still wondered about her father, but Mark didn't answer.James came out of the room to glimpse what was happening. He strolled towards Delilah and watched behind her. Delilah was kneeling in anxiety, holding her father. James then glanced at Earth and coded with his eyes to talk to Delilah.“Your father stole from the casino. Now he must pay for what he took!” Ear

James occasionally glanced at Delilah and Shawn, who were just sitting and watching the campfire in front of him."Why isn't this over? It's been almost two years since we killed Kanishka. Why isn't he dead yet?" said Aidan, still adamant. Jayden, who heard the whispers, then approached."Kanishka is dead. But his son is not," Jayden said to Aidan. Aidan let out an annoyed breath. He looked at Shawn, who continued to stare at his wife and then occasionally looked down."Does he know?" Arjoona nodded."He's the first to confirm this," Joona answered, turning to Shawn and then to Jayden."So Kiran has a brother?""Exactly. It's a sibling who hates her so much. Kiran is the unlawful daughter of Kanishka's mistress, while Rohan is Kanishka's son from his legal wife," Jayden added."His name is Rohan." Jayden nodded."He's MIT's best graduate. genius; his IQ is equal to or more than Joona. He's more dangerous than Mars and the creat
"READY... FIRE!" military salute gunshots at Lieutenant Blue Handerson's funeral. Troops under the command of former Admiral Shawn Miller, Blue's superior during his time in the United States Navy, paid their final respects.All members of The Seven Wolves took part in the funeral ceremony and stood with their mates, except Jayden and Aidan.For James, who still had injuries on his busting face, he could only put one arm around Delilah. He and all members of The Seven Wolves have agreed to no longer be involved in any ambushes.The police have destroyed all of The Seven Wolves' recorded activities and secrets. At least for now, they may feel safe.After the funeral, the Seven Wolves threw a brunch for all the mourners. Grey Hunter appears to be sitting alone. His eyes were still looking at James and Delilah, who were sitting with Mars and Vanylla, still chatting with each other.It was seen that James didn't let go of his hug at all to Delilah. Occ
Aidan gave Grey a code to move to chase the group of gangsters who were about to escape through the underground tunnel. He half-ran, panting, then pressed himself against the damp tunnel wall.His eyes then peeked out from behind the wall and saw a large container truck in the middle of the tunnel mouth. He turned around and whispered to Aidan, who was also pressing his back against the tunnel wall."They're going to escape. We've reached the end of the tunnel!" Grey whispered, and Aidan nodded. He turned and ran back to his group. Shawn's bleeding had stopped, but he was still half-supported by Juan leaning against the wall."They're going to run away. There's a container in the way," said Aidan, breathlessly giving a report to Shawn. Shawn nodded in understanding and called the rest of the team over."We will attack. They cannot escape!" said Shawn, giving his order. Soon, Grey came back and joined."It's bad; they're taking hostages. There's a w
All members of The Seven Wolves have changed clothes and put on all their equipment. They will be disguised in all-black SWAT police attire with helmets. Of the 16 people, the Seven Wolves have four main snipers: Aidan, Shawn, Blake, and Erikkson. The three reserve shooters are Mars, Grey, and Bryan. The five sharp weapons and martial arts specialists are Jayden, Han, Glenn, Blue, and Juan. The strategy and tactics specialists are Arya, Caleb, and James, while Arjoona will lead and guide the entire team."Everyone gather; I will divide our team!" Arjoona was ordered to come forward in front of all the members."We will ambush from four different directions, and one of the SWAT members will be there to help each group as a guide. We will all work together. Our main goal is to free the hostages, as the police will divert attention so we can get in.""The first group is Shawn, Jayden, Grey, and Arya; you will enter through the eastern water tunnel near the Bronson,
James' kiss on Delilah's cheek made her slowly open her eyes while sleeping. One of James' hands then reached forward and caressed Delilah's belly bump. Since 23 weeks of pregnancy, Delilah has been sleeping on her side more often.Delilah turned around slowly, and James' sweet smile greeted Delilah's nap."Are you home?" Delilah asked in a soft voice with a smile on her lips. James just smiled, and his other hand stroked Daelilah's hair. He hadn't even taken off his jacket at all."How's my candy today?" James replied in a gentle tone too. His lips then kissed the tip of Delilah's nose, and he smiled again."I get sleepy quickly," replied Delilah, then chuckled slightly and joined in stroking James' arm."You'd better change your clothes first; they'll get wrinkled," Delilah scolded, but James ignored her and got closer. He started kissing Delilah's cheek and neck. Delilah giggled when she found her husband's consistently spoiled behavior.
Grey Hunter had just finished his work and came home a little tired. His and Lenora's relationship has indeed returned to normal, although it is no longer as passionate as before. Lenora seemed to keep her distance from Grey. He didn't want to be hurt again and chose not to pay too much attention to Grey. It seemed like she was afraid of falling too deeply in love with him.After standing for a few seconds with sleepy eyes in front of the elevator, Grey turned to the left and saw Delilah coming out of the elevator with Blaze together. It looked like she was going out of the Ritz with her dog for a walk.Grey's instinct to pay attention to Delilah wasn't working well. He actually followed back and called her name."Miss Delilah!" Delilah suddenly turned and smiled."Hi, Grey!" Delilah waved at Grey, who was walking quickly towards her."Hi, Miss, Where are you going?" Grey asked as he stood in front of Delilah and smiled at her."I just want
The longer Delilah's pregnancy lasts, the more beautiful and sexy she looks. And James increasingly couldn't be distant from his wife. Starting in the second month of Delilah's pregnancy, James took his wife everywhere. Despite the doctor's long-standing advice to avoid traveling long distances by plane or land, James instead brought in a special obstetrician for Delilah so she could calm down. And when they were alone, James never stopped touching Delilah.Although Delilah's pregnancy hormones were significantly higher than they had been the previous month, her personal doctor once again forbade James from engaging in excessive sexual activity."You could hurt her; the semen in your sperm could cause her to miscarry!" said Delilah's personal doctor, warning James for the umpteenth time. James snorted in annoyance and was already half-sulking."Is there no other way?" James grumbled with a sullen face."You can just find another doctor. I really can't sta
