“I just got it!” The man was Maxine’s new boyfriend, Patrick Weather. The smile on his face was bright. “I have been working for my cousin, Casius, and I have been performing well, so he rewarded me with this Cullinan. “I literally just got it just now and I wanted to surprise you.” Knowing that the young man was Casius’ cousin, Kaze raised his brows and spared an extra glance at him. Everyone at the scene knew who Casius was, so their eyes on Patrick showed respect. Casius Weather, one of the Riverbank Seven. His status and power could easily pressure everyone at the scene, combined. “You’re always full of surprises! It’s just a Cullinan, you don’t have to keep it from me!” Maxine playfully punched Patrick in the arm but her eyes widened with affection. Her boyfriend’s arrival made her proud and happy. She even felt proud in front of Darcy, who had been overshadowing her. “Uncle Alex, hi…” Patrick then went up to the seniors of the family and greeted them. He the
Patrick looked shocked. “Huh? He’s a live-in husband? So he has been unemployed?” Kaze looked at Maxine and Patrick, who were obviously asking for trouble. He smirked and nodded. “I guess you can say so.” Everyone heard his answer. Those who were simply watching from the side were surprised that he admitted it so quickly. Their gazes at him showed a strong sense of contempt. How could a man like him deserve a woman like Darcy? Even if he did not manage to marry himself into Darcy’s family, he still should not be qualified to even be her follower. Patrick did not expect Kaze to be so witty. It caught him by surprise and it left him speechless for a moment. It was until Maxine nudged him, he regained his composure and scoffed. “Is it because you didn’t get any suitable jobs? “Why don’t you tell me what you are interested in, I can recommend you. My company has been recruiting lately, like security guards or janitors. “For Maxine’s sake, you can simply pick a job under ten
“Kaze, you bastard! How dare you ask Patrick to break up with Maxine? Who the hell are you to say that?!” “Patrick introduced you to a job, yet you ignored him and tried to convince him to break up with Maxine. How could you be so narrow-minded?!” “You’re living a terrible life but that doesn’t mean others should live the same!” Alex, Adam, and the others criticized Kaze for what he said as it was frustrating. How could he instigate Patrick to break up with Maxine in front of them? It was like pulling a treasure box away from their hands! It was disrespectful to the family! Patrick’s expression darkened. He hugged Maxine tightly and said coldly, “Maxine and I are tight. You don’t need to worry about that. Whatever problem that comes my way, I’ll just deal with it. “The more problems she gets me into, and I solve it, means I am more capable than other men. Only an incompetent man would dislike the woman causing problems for himself.” Maxine hugged Patrick even tighter.
“Honey, this is the last time I’ll bathe you. We’ve been married for three years but we’ve never made love. I want you to pop my cherry before we divorce…” Kaze Lee sat in the bathtub with Darcy Quint behind him. Her voluptuous body was pressed against his back and her slender hands were exploring his body. The water showered the two of them, producing a bodily fragrance in the air. Darcy poured body shampoo onto Kaze’s muscular body. Her delicate hands stroked his abs and it made her blush. When she looked at Kaze, bitterness struck her and tears rolled down her cheeks. Kaze’s head was slightly tilted. His handsome face looked blank and dull while he drooled uncontrollably as if he were a mindless puppet. “Honey, what happened in the past three years? What made you like this?” Darcy sobbed. Three years ago, Darcy married Kaze but on their wedding night, he as the groom disappeared. The news of her husband’s escape spread like wildfire and the Quint family became the la
Loud noises of tables and chairs being overturned echoed from the phone. Draco’s excited voice followed, “Boss, is it really you?! Where have you been!? You’ve been missing for all this time and it almost drove us mad! “Since your identity is confidential, we are not permitted to locate you without official orders.” Kaze sighed and said, “I got into some trouble. I’m fine now. I have recovered.” “Someone tried to harm you? Who is it? Just one word, boss! Me and the guys will raze them to the ground,” Draco said angrily. “It’s okay,” Kaze replied coldly. He did not want others to be involved in his affair with the Lee family. He must end it with his own hands and his own hands alone. “I have something that I need you to do. Arrange for Sky High Investment Group to enter Lilyrose by tonight and announce an investment in the city worth ten billion.” He served in the army for three years. Not only did he lead his men to battle, but he also founded a business empire in another
“Kaze, you’ve recovered?!” Seeing the clarity in Kaze’s eyes, Darcy covered her mouth in disbelief, thrilled to see her husband looking lively. “Yes, Darcy, I have recovered.” Kaze looked at Darcy as his eyes teared up despite having gone through countless brutal fights on the battlefield himself. Darcy broke down in tears instantly. She was thrilled to see Kaze healthy. Kaze pulled her into his arms. He felt sorry for putting her through so much suffering all these years. “Hmph. So what if you’ve recovered? You are still a piece of trash,” Deborah said with a scoff. She sat down, pointed at the folded table in the corner, and said loudly, “Get over there and sit down. Contributing ten billion? What a joke!” Kaze frowned. He wanted to argue but Darcy stopped him and dragged him over to the corner. The four of them sat at the folded table. The others were having a feast whereas Darcy and her family were served four cups of ramen. Master Quint at the center seat loo
Looking at Kaze’s confident face, Darcy hesitated. She thought of her family’s current financial situation and it gave her no choice. She bit the bullet, got up, and said, “Grandfather, I’ll go and recover the debt.” “You stupid girl! Are you crazy? What if that gangster ripped your face apart? Henry wouldn’t want you then!” Agnes panicked. The others were shocked, including Master Quint. No one expected Darcy to take up the task. Samus and the others gloated at her. He then took a five-dollar bill and tossed it at Darcy. “This is for your bravery and for you to take the bus back.” Deborah crossed her arms and said with raised brows, “You agreed to go yourself. If anything happens to you, don't blame us.” Kaze glared at the few of them coldly. He did not even want to argue with them because they were simply clowns. He held Darcy’s hand and left the mansion. Meanwhile, Darcy’s parents were giddy with anxiety. Agnes gritted her teeth, “We must ask Henry to help us, he’s o
Lee? Pietro looked at Kaze, baffled. “There is a man named Kaze Lee, and I’m trying to teach him a lesson.” A loud thud could be heard from the other end of the line. Pietro asked, “Boss, are you alright?” Then, a thunderous roar from the man was blasted into Pietro’s ear through the phone. “Alright? I’m not f*cking alright! Are you trying to f*ck with me now?! I’m warning you, whatever that man tells you to do, you f*cking do it, understand? He is a God from now on!” Pietro was stunned. He had never seen Giovani this scared for as long as he worked for him. He instinctively asked, “Boss, are you mistaken? He’s just some trash who married into the Quint family.” “Pietro, are you trying to get yourself killed? You and I are like flies to him. One swat and we are all dead, crushed! You understand me?!” “Boss, I…” Pietro got nervous. “Last warning. That man is someone that not even I can mess with, you better take care of your own a*s!” The call ended abruptly. Pie
