A DAY BEFORE
Grey Hunter walked to the basement of the Belgenza mansion to gather some bodyguards to give them some instructions. One of them was a little bit late to fill the call. The guard was always guarding in the basement. His name is Elmero Silva.
"Some of you will come with Mr. Belgenza and me to New York. We have to escort Mr. Belgenza and Miss Starley before they are permanently living there," declared Grey seeing each one of the guards consisting of six members of Daga Nero. His eyes then glanced briefly at Elmero, who was as bland as ever.
"Silva... you are coming with me to New York!" ordered Grey sternly. Elmero nodded understandingly.
"Yes, Sir. When are we leaving?" asked Elmero casually.
"Tomorrow night for three days. Get ready!" Elmero only nodded once, then glanced at Grey, who left the guards to return to their posts.
"I gotta pee, now!" Elmero said to his friend, who was also guarding the basement. His friend nodded and
James Belgenza came down from his presidential room to the hotel lobby where Grey Hunter had been waiting for him. He was in one of the corners quietly waiting there. In seconds, he turned around and handed James the phone he was using. James directly took it and put it to his ear."Go to 432 Park Avenue. I'll arrive in an hour and stay at Jayden’s apartment," James said while glancing at Grey."I thought you would stay in the new apartment, sir?" replied James' bodyguard, Elmero Silva, as he arrived in New York."No, Silva. I need to meet Jayden Lin and stay with him. That's why I left first." James added his explanation."Yes, sir. I'll be there now," repeated him without a doubt, and James turned off his phone to pass it to Grey."Tell Earth to wait for me in New York. I will go to Hong Kong for the last trip before leaving there," ordered James after. Grey nodded understandingly."I've also told Mr. Lin about this plan." James nodd
Elmero Silva walked to the 432 Park Avenue apartment without suspecting anything. He ever went there when James had his business with Jayden Lin. Therefore, Elmero remembered what floor and number Jayden Lin's apartment was. James often brought Elmero as one of his bodyguards to New York, including when he met Jayden as the leader of the Golden Dragon.As soon as he got out of the elevator, he walked out and turned right, and his eyes instantly searched for Jayden Lin's apartment number. Elmero rang the bell twice, and no one answered. His brows furrowed, and he turned his head to the side. The corridor leading to Jayden Lin's apartment was calm. Mostly, this corridor will be guarded by many members of the Golden Dragon. But this time, nothing was to be seen.Elmero pressed the bell again, and the door still wouldn't open. His hand then grabbed the door handle, and the automatic unlocked. Elmero's frown aggravated. He felt something was wrong, but his curiosity was mor
"Does he confess?" James curtly asked Earth on their phone line. Earth was in charge of doing a few settle things with James' problems of snitches at his house."Not yet, sir!" James sighed in exasperation and turned to Grey. Grey was standing to guard James."Tell Jayden I need his help now," James ordered to Earth."Yes, sir!" James then hung up the phone and passed it to Grey. Grey didn't ask about the problems yet kept staring at James, expecting an answer."He refused to admit it. Until now, we don't know what their plans are!" James flatly said without looking at Grey."Then do we need Golden Dragon to frame him to spill everything?" James glanced at him briefly before straightening his gaze up to the lobby."If my men in my mansion hear about this, I'm worried other rats will flee. I can't trust anyone, Grey!""I suggest that include Miss Starley, Sir. You found out that Moretti ordered her to kill you, yet you did nothing to h
James and Delilah had no choice but to sleep in the same bed tonight. The first night of James' 3-day 'honeymoon' plan for Delilah was supposed to end well. But what occurred was that James' declaration of love failed miserably. Delilah refused him unhesitatingly.James was so annoyed to deal with the situation right now. He directly changed his shirt after a disappointing incident at the pool. James got to the bed and was covered with a blanket while ignoring Delilah. In contrast, Delilah was sitting on the couch, planning to stay away from the bed. Moreover, she planned to sleep on the couch instead of staying in the same bed with James.On his side, James seemed to read Delilah's mind. He turned quickly and threatened her again."Don't even think about sleeping on that couch, or I'll burn it!" threatened James, then turned quickly and pulled the blanket up to his chest with his back on Delilah. Delilah instantly pouted and glanced down. James's sweet demeanor has now turned into ob
Delilah is instantly comfortable with Jayden. He warmly welcomed Delilah to his house like an old acquaintance. Moreover, Jayden is not like James, who is more rigid and primarily irksome. In opposite, Jayden is very friendly and warm to any guests, especially Delilah. And most importantly, he is remarkably polite.James who couldn't help but follow Jayden and Delilah into Lin's mansion, kept glaring, frowning, and gritted his jaw. Delilah has never been that cheerful to him compared to Jayden.How dare Jayden presently escort Delilah inside his mansion without asking permission from James? Jayden only got to know Delilah in less than a minute, but she was utterly comfortably smiling at Jayden. She said nothing but listened and adored each corner of the house. Jayden walked with her to her next room to stay with James for this trip."This house is amazing. I've never been in a house like this before. It's like I'm living back to the ancient times!" praised Delilah to Jayden, who kept
Tom, Peach, Mondo, Niko, and Blaze are large and robust dogs of Jayden Lin. They are trained guardian dogs capable of crushing the bones of an adult human. Jayden trained his dogs specifically to be hunters and used them to catch and kill a few times.Moreover, Blaze was not a recommended pet for most people because of its aggressiveness towards humans. Blaze is the result of crossbreeding between a German Shepherd and a Wolf. It is Jayden Lin's darling. The dog was rescued by Jayden when he was a pup from a street show in Hong Kong. After all, the dog subdued to Jayden only.Jayden gave Blaze a home and true love like in a family. Besides, once a month, his trainer and Jayden often took it into the forest to practice hunting so that it would not lose its animal instincts.Usually, the aggressive and bloodthirsty dog roared and barked when he saw the figures of James and Delilah from a distance. But as soon as Delilah walked closer, he stopped growling and bar
James and Delilah came home from shopping while staying in Hong Kong after midnight. After saying thank you to the Golden Dragon members, who escorted them the whole night, both got into the room in a good mood. They were smiling shyly at each other after having so much fun."We'd better get some rest," James spoke awkwardly. Delilah nodded in agreement. She stood up and walked to the changing room to change her dress.Meanwhile, James chose to change his shirt in the room with a regular short-sleeved one. He waited for Delilah on the bed by reading a few emails from her job. Delilah had just come out of the dressing room in her new nightgown and robe a few moments later. She kept pulling the robe to cover her body though it slid so many times due to the soft fabric.Delilah shyly walked closer to the bed and sat slowly on the edge of it. James didn't notice as he was still busy replying to emails and a few things. Delilah took her excellent chance to slide insi
There is no view as beautiful as James Harristian’s penthouse balcony in downtown New York. The terrace showed the beautiful bay with clean and soothing air and scenery. New York is a bustling city, but Delilah could not hear any of the busy bees in her place right now. Only serenity with the occasional screech of birds passing by soothes her mind. It was such a delightful sight to witness all the experience.Initially, James had no plans to buy the penthouse. He had bought one in a much quieter area of Harlem. But due to Elmero Silva, Gabriel Moretti's snitch infiltrated into his organization, James had found another way out. James hastily bought another place to stay.James managed to purchase a presidential suite penthouse with his connections and power. It was the most expensive and prestigious one of the buildings. And all that he did was to protect Delilah and surely pampered her. James had even reversed the property's name to Delilah Starley as the owner
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
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
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
