With a hoodie covering her head, a young woman was spotted climbing up to the rooftop of a nearby house with a camera and its stand. She had a face mask, glasses, gloves on her hands, double socks, a boot covering her legs, and a face mask covering her face. She arrived at the rooftop, which was not far from Mason's mansion, and she set up her cameras there. She zoomed in and twisted them in her preferred directions. She smiled mischievously as she fixed her mischievous gaze on the camera, taking three or four pictures of the young man who turned out to be Mason. Before getting down, she smiled. Her fingers wandered around the printed pictures as her obsession took control of her thoughts, despite her body warning her of the impending danger. A cracking sound was heard as she was disassembling the cameras and getting ready to descend. Looking down to see what was going on, her body tensed in fear. Ten guys in suits emerged from two black cars that were packed. Ad
One of the guys was hit in the nose by her first released fist, causing a shockwave to travel through his brain and causing a torrent of blood to flow out of his nose. He let out a painful cry and gripped his bleeding nose. The two guys who were still there charged at her one after the other, attempting to hurt a regular person with their attack, but Lucy had the advantage because she had always been a judo and karate champion in high school. Her fighting abilities were unique, and before escaping, she made sure to knock them out cold. *************Joan was required to wear matching lingerie for a photo shoot for a lingering company. The lingerie was made of silky satin and had a blush pink color with a fading maple leaf tint. The blush pink color accentuated the lingerie's beauty, making it more seductive and appealing. Her chin was up and her shoulder was raised as her red, full lips formed a pout, her eyes slightly drooping as she stared into the camera. Her h
"On a serious note, why would he do that?"Dunn pondered, perplexed and terrified, that his kind gestures could mean something else. " Have you heard about the upcoming event? " Laura yelled from the kitchen, and Dunn's attention returned to the real world as she searched for anything reasonable to focus Mason's kind gestures on. "What event?" Her mouth parted slightly as she repeated the only thing she appeared to have chosen from Laura's statement. "The Art Village is hosting an auction and dinner party, and almost all of the influential CEOs, celebrities, and politicians have been invited. The married and dating ones must come as a couple, while the single ones must bring a date. It is mandatory." Laura laughed and twisted the gas power button upward, turning it off in the process. Her eyes were hungrily focused on the food. "I thought you were going to talk about a middle-class event or something like that; what is my business with the rich?" She hissed, her eyes ro
"What the hell!" Shock waves swept across her face as she looked at Laura, who was also shocked. Dunn stared at her phone again, wanting to be certain of what she had just read. After reading it with Laura for the fifth time, she attempted to reason the statement. " Did he mean that statement?" Laura inquired, anxiously. "I thought you loved bad boys," Dunn scoffed, gently pinching her brow. "This is getting too much. I like bad boys, but not stalkers. I am not sure why I have a good feeling about him, though." "Gosh, you are unbelievable!" Dunn groaned in disbelief, wondering how a sane person could have positive feelings toward a stalker. **************THE NEXT DAYA DAY TO THE ART VILLAGE AUCTION AND DINNER PARTY.The King's entertainment was packed with thousands of reporters, and it was the first time the Art Village had extended an invitation to them. Different rumors have circulated that Daren bribed them or that their company's star, Joan, slept wi
" OMG!!" He screamed, and his hard dick immediately fell flat. He hurriedly pulled his underpants and trousers up, confusing Joan. He looked around but could not find a third party in the room, which made him even more nervous. He was not worried about the sex tape coming out but about his reputation. His reputation cannot be tarnished by news of him sleeping with a model from his company. Joan was standing beside him, wondering what was going through his mind, and was about to tap his shoulder when another notification from the same number as Daren arrived on her phone. She picked up her phone and saw the same notification, her heart throbbing rapidly. With sweaty, shaky hands, she clicked on the notification. She tightened her grip on the phone; her eyes squirted in shock as she saw the message. " I hope you enjoyed the video. I have clear pictures, too." Her mind flew out of her chest, and she entered panic mode. She scrolled up to watch the video with one mind, and
************** **The Art Village Auction & Dinner Party Organizers were having a meeting about the new people they sent invites to** "I stated at the last meeting that we should not send invitations to the King's entertainment, but everyone strongly disagreed. Can you all see what is going on?" A young blonde lady sitting in the last seat on the left side hissed angrily. "Are we supposed to invite the same group of people every year? We need to evolve our system; the world is changing." Another response came from the left side, this time from an elderly man in his sixties. "Change, Change, Change. Why should we invite people who will tamper with our reputation? Our invitations have always been appropriate, but Miss Joan and Daren Kings were unexpectedly added to the list of invitees. If not, the majority of you slept with her." Her statement sparked outrage in the majority of the people."What do you mean? Who gave you the right to make wrong assumptions about us?”
" Joan" She was startled awake by a light whisper, which turned out to be the voice of her friend Della. Her eyes lit up with joy as she raised herself and sat comfortably on the hospital bed. She was surprised that Della entered the ward despite the hundreds of reporters who were waiting outside even though it was late. "Let us go quickly," Della urged, assisting Joan in removing the cannula and placing sterile cotton wool on the area. Della hurriedly packed Joan's belongings into her bag and helped her up. Impatiently, they ran out of the ward through the back door and gently walked towards the emergency exit, but when they arrived, the door was locked with a large padlock, causing both of them to curse in frustration. "I am sure I told the nurse to help me with the opening," Della muttered, pulling out her phone to call the nurse when they heard sneaky footsteps approaching. Joan became terrified and ran to hide. Her heart was racing as she covered her eyes with he
Another bidding for an antique came up, and only the politician's wife continued to raise their bid. The crowd's chants and wows were abruptly silenced as the door opened wide. Two unexpected and elegant couples walked into the hall. Dunn wore a simple black gown with her hair pulled back into a neat ponytail. She is carrying a small black bag and walks gently, her white heels striking the floor elegantly. She scans the room, taking in the scene before her as she feels nervous and excited. Her left hand is entangled with Mason's, making them appear to be a couple naturally. Mason, on the other hand, wore a black suit and had his hair neatly combed and styled. His gaze was drawn to the Auction while also catching glimpses of the beauty next to him. Mason enters with confidence, his posture straight, his stride purposeful. People turn around to look at them. Some people stare directly, while others look discreetly out of the corner of their eyes. A few people whisper to each ot
Dunn was seen pacing around in the female surgical ward, her mind preoccupied. She had awoken earlier and had been told to come see her friend. " Where did they say she was? I am going insane here." She was still pacing when three police officers walked into the ward demanding to see Laura. Dunn heard their request and rushed towards them. "Please make sure to catch the hit-and-run driver who put my friend in this situation," she begged, holding one of their hands. "Are you Dunn Edwards?" Policeman 1 inquired, bringing out his ID card to demonstrate his status as a police officer even though they were both in uniform. Dunn nodded immediately, indicating that she was. "We came to make some inquiries when the doctors informed us that Miss Laura's friend with the name Dunn was here," Policeman 1 muttered, returning his ID card to his pocket. "Your friend was involved in a very fatal accident in which the driver died immediately. It was not a hit-and-run accident,
Lucy's hand flew to her mouth as she finished reading the rules, leaving her feeling weak and regretful. She realized she had gotten herself into trouble after reading the rules. "What would the contract that I signed be like if the rules were like this?" She pondered and dipped into the puddle of regret. It was too late to turn back now, so she had to get used to her new way of life. *********Dunn was still trying to write the news for their daily article when she received a message from Laura. She thought it was strange that Laura sent a message when she would rather call. Her eyes widened as she clicked on the message notification to read the content, which included images of Laura's body outside, as well as a burnt car and a corpse that had been burned beyond recognition. She screamed and ran out of the office without thinking. She flagged down a cab to take her to the nearest hospital, and as soon as she got out of the car after paying, she dashed into the hospit
With various secrets coming to light one by one, the real war was just getting started. To the strange-looking man in front of her, Lucy angrily exclaimed, "I do not know what you are talking about." "You live with Dunn?" The man insisted, as if he were trying to force words out of her mouth. She quickly raised her head, wondering why all of the questions were about Dunn. "Yes, we live together; what is the matter with you?" She blurted out and pushed him away, but the man yanked her back against the wall, causing her to whimper. "My boss needs you." The man mouthed and hit her neck with his fist, knocking her out. *****20 minutes later, Lucy awoke to find herself in a strange and foreign place. The bed she was sleeping on was incredibly soft and cozy, and she instantly remembered what had happened earlier and tried to get out of it. "Sorry for the other time; you are awake." With a mouthful, the man she would been speaking to earlier entered the room carry
"What the hell are you talking about?" Dunn screamed and wiped away her tears quickly. "That is the only solution I could think of; you should do what they are accusing you of and date him because that is the only way he can protect you." Laura mouthed and picked up her back, holding her wristwatch to check the time and gasping afterward. "I am late, bye babe, and do not even think about quitting." She smiled as she rushed out of the house. Dunn was thrust into the realm of contemplation while attempting to consider the counsel offered by her friend. Lucy, who had been listening in on their conversation, became enraged and jealous and clenched her fist. She muttered, "That will not happen under my watch," and inhaled deeply before turning on her phone to respond to the odd message she had received earlier. The message said, "Good morning, Miss Lucy. I hope you accept our invitation and attend the interview. Thank you. You have been recommended for the position of
"How dare him?! " Erling muttered repeatedly until they arrived at his Villa, and his boys dragged the Edwards out of the car booth and onto the floor until they reached Erling's secret prison. "Keep them there; I need to take care of some business." He took one sniff and stormed out of the room, furious. As he made his way back to the parlor, he and Madison crossed over, causing him to stop dead in their tracks. "Tell your people to post it first thing tomorrow morning. I am ready for the plan," She said coldly before walking away with a glare. Erling laughed heartily, wondering what the hell woman thought she was. He walked down to the parlor and sat down, relaxed on the couch with a cigarette. He stretched to pick up a lighter, but the sound of gunshots stopped him as all of his men rushed out to see what was going on. His biggest rival, the De-Cal Mafia, is back for vengeance. His stone heart shattered with fear as he hurried underground to his hiding place, leavin
The flower vase crashed to the floor, dripping blood onto the marble floor, and the room was littered with broken glasses and vases flying around. For the first time in a long time, the news had an impact on him. The guards were afraid to approach him, so they summoned his secretary. The secretary dashed into the room without hesitation, and even when she stepped on the broken glasses, she could not winch out of fear. She witnessed the news and is already aware of the situation. "I am really sorry, Sir." She mouthed something and went to her knees right away, oblivious to the fact that her knees had been stabbed at various points by the broken glasses. Daren smacked his lips for the third time, then pushed his hair backward with his palm, a wicked grin gradually appearing on his lips. He raised his head quickly, making the secretary bow her head in terror. " How could you? I gave you everything you ever wanted, I lifted your wretched family out of poverty, and the
Carlo Edwards gazed at his wife. He was aware of everything that had occurred, including the rape and the miscarriage. His wife had no idea he was aware of this. He could not ask to stop him from hurting his wife again. While his beloved wife was thinking, he was busy sending voice notes, pictures, and videos to his daughter's email address. He scheduled it for 72 hours after his death. Carlo reminisced about Erling and everything he went through with him while he was in bondage and between life and death. "I hope you will be safe." He sighed out and started the car's engine, which jerked to life. ************** "What exactly are you doing here?" Lucy questioned Dunn about who had entered Mason's office. Dunn was stunned and remained in one position not for any reason other than the type of question Lucy asked and the authority in her voice, which made Dunn wonder who Lucy was to Mason. She developed an iota of jealousy for no apparent reason. "I came to see
Mason looked at the chairman intently, wondering how and what had happened. Instead of arguing or responding to the chairman, he stood up gently from his seat and was about to walk out when he noticed Daren's victorious grin. The rest of the people sitting down wondered if the chairman was unaware of Mason Brooks' identity. One of them stood up and walked towards the chairman. He bent down and whispered something into the chairman's ear, but the chairman vehemently objected. He is unaware of Mason Brooks' power in the United States. Mason pushed the door, and as he was about to step out, a young man stood up and said, "He can not leave. I was the one who contacted the Italian animation voice-over company, and I just wanted to show Disney how important this project is to me." Daren and the chairman were surprised, and the man bowed his head and apologized profusely. Mason opened the door fully and stepped out of the meeting room, then walked out of the headquarter
Dunn was already exhausted from work when she entered Mason's car earlier. He drove down to her workplace and hurried her to get down. She was stunned by the sudden action but had no choice but to get down. He walked her into the office wearing a cap to prevent anyone from recognizing him. Dunn had already completed all of her pending work and closed at the same time as the auction and dinner/lunch. The cab came to a stop in front of her house, and she got out. Her fist gently hit the door, letting Laura know she had arrived. Lucy dashed to the door and opened it because Laura was already in the kitchen, making cookies for them to eat. "Good evening, Ma'am." Lucy bowed her head slightly and smiled; Dunn looked at her with some emotion, but quickly returned the smile. "Who is ma'am? My name is Dunn Edwards." Dunn chuckled and walked into the house, while Lucy closed the door behind her. "I hope we get along," Lucy muttered underneath. She doesn't know w
