Arion had just arrived at his private mansion, accompanied by his close friends Felix and Reynard. This was their first time visiting the place, and both were stunned by the grandeur of Arion's private residence.As they stepped out of the car and approached the main entrance, Erik, Arion's head of security, stood waiting. “Welcome, Young Master,” Erik greeted, bowing respectfully to Arion and acknowledging Felix and Reynard. He then opened the door for them.Arion, followed by his friends, walked into the lavish mansion with Erik trailing behind. The room exuded an air of luxury and elegance with a modern minimalist theme. The walls were pristine white, adorned with abstract paintings. The floor was covered with a pink carpet featuring floral patterns. In the center was a large black sofa with red cushions, a glass table in front of it holding a vase of flowers and several magazines. Next to the sofa stood a large brown cabinet with glass doors filled with books and antiques. In the
Finley and Kenan focused intently, and a few minutes later, the sound of Finley's fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard was followed by a loud exclamation. "I found their location!"Austin, Max, and Ethan quickly gathered around Finley and Kenan."Take this, Ken!" Finley called out, sending a captured image from the CCTV. Kenan grinned as he enlarged the photo, showing Raul carrying an unconscious woman—clearly Emily."Look at this! This is just after they left the airport, and it seems Emily is unconscious," Kenan explained."Damn it! I'm going to kill him!" Ethan growled, seeing his daughter in such a helpless state.Max placed a hand on Ethan's shoulder. "I'll make sure death is the best option for him to end the rest of his miserable life," Max muttered, his words chilling anyone who heard them.Kenan opened another photo sent by Finley. "They boarded a helicopter!""Check where that helicopter is headed, Fin!" Austin ordered."Yes, sir!" Finley replied.Finley quickly moved his
The helicopter continued its journey through the sky, heading toward the remote island where Arion hoped to find Emily. After over ten minutes, they finally arrived at the island, spotting a large house as the only structure on it. As the helicopter began to land, gunfire erupted from below. Raul's guards had started an all-out attack.Bang! Bang! Ting! Ting!Gunfire echoed through the air. “Arion! Be careful!” Reynard shouted from beside Arion.Felix immediately pulled out his weapon, followed by Reynard, and they returned fire.Arion quickly grabbed the rifle provided by Mr. Norris, who, along with his men, had already engaged Raul’s guards with their long-range weapons.Within minutes, Mr. Norris and his well-trained team had neutralized all the guards below.More than twenty men in black suits lay sprawled on the white sand, which had turned red with blood.The helicopter landed smoothly. Arion leaped out and dashed toward the house, stepping over the lifeless bodies strewn across
“Emily… Emily is dead. I killed her!”Thump!Arion felt his world shatter at Raul's words. "No! That's impossible!" he screamed, aiming his pistol at Raul.“You bastard! You’re insane! Don’t mess with me, Raul!” Arion growled, his eyes burning with fury.“I couldn’t stand seeing her with you. I was jealous. I loved her more than you ever could, Arion!” Raul wheezed, his breath labored.“Fuck! You... you’re a murderer! You don’t deserve to live!” Arion punched Raul in the face.He didn’t care that Raul's face was already bloodied. He continued to pummel him mercilessly. “Damn you! You bastard!”“Young Master,” Mr. Norris placed a hand on Arion’s shoulder, noticing that Arion’s hand was now bleeding.Arion shook his head. “No! I won’t stop! He killed Emily! He… Arghhh!!” he screamed in frustration.Raul laughed weakly, looking at Arion with hatred. “Even if I die now, you’ll suffer more, thinking about Emily!” he muttered to himself.“You... you’ll never be happy. Live in regret. You’ll
---Several hours earlier, after Raul had managed to influence Emily, he handed a piece of paper to the beautiful woman.He deliberately used paper because he didn't want to leave any trace. "Take your time to write a letter to your parents, darling, and don't forget to ask for their blessing," Raul said shamelessly as he left the room, still wearing his kimono robe.Emily remained silent, not responding at all. Her energy had been drained by Raul's cruel actions.With the little strength she had left, she wrote a few words on the paper, her tears flowing uncontrollably despite her efforts to hold them back. "Is this the last time I will greet Papa and Mama? Yon, forgive me..." she whispered to herself, her tears soaking her cheeks.Once Raul was in the living room, he ordered all his subordinates to erase their traces."Sir... sir..." Raul's right-hand man rushed in.Raul frowned. His right-hand man was supposed to be in Germany, but why was he here? "What's going on? What are you do
---Three hours passed slowly. An hour ago, Austin, Bella, Ethan, Della, Kenan, Siska, and Eleanor arrived in Copenhagen.Meanwhile, Max and Finley continued their takeover of Raul's company and Tasha's parents' business. Hana and Rose, their wives, were asked to look after the other children.The red light in the operating room was still on, indicating Arion was still undergoing surgery. Meanwhile, in the ICU, they could only see Emily lying unconscious on the bed through the glass, tubes connected to her body.Ethan tried to stay strong for his wife, while Della continued to cry seeing her daughter through the glass.Reynard was still unconscious from the anesthesia. "Can you stay here with Reynard, dear?" Siska asked softly to Eleanor, who was sitting by Reynard's bedside."Yes, aunty, I'll call you when Rey wakes up," she replied, her voice choked with sobs."Hmm, aunty will go out for a bit," Siska said gently, stroking the top of Eleanor's head. Then she walked to the door, wher
“Oh my… Emily…” Della murmured, her eyes filling with tears. She clung tightly to her husband.Ethan smiled warmly at the doctor. “Thank you, Doctor. This is such happy news,” he said sincerely.The doctor nodded. “You're welcome. Let's hope Emily regains consciousness soon.”“Yes, Doctor.”The doctor took his leave. As soon as he was out of sight, Della hugged her husband tightly, looking into his face.“Dear, Emily…” Della murmured. This sudden news was overwhelming. She didn't know how to react—should she be happy? Angry? Disappointed? Sad? Grateful?Ethan gently caressed his wife's face. “Isn't it wonderful news? We are going to have a grandchild soon.”“Yes, but what do you think? Does Emily know she’s pregnant?”“We can ask her directly when she wakes up, okay?”“Yes… Oh my! My dear Emily… What has she been through today? I hope she isn’t traumatized,” Della whispered, burying herself in her husband's arms.The doctor had informed them that their daughter was likely a victim of
After getting approval from the doctor, Emily finally sat in a wheelchair. Ethan carefully pushed the wheelchair, taking his daughter to Arion’s room.“Emily…?” Eleanor, hearing the news that Emily had woken up, quickly ran out of Reynard’s room.Emily smiled faintly, and Eleanor immediately knelt in front of Emily, hugging her like a sister.“I’m sorry… I’m sorry, Em… I should have… prevented you from meeting that crazy woman… hic… hic…” she sobbed, guilt gnawing at her. Eleanor’s hand reached up to touch Emily’s bruised face.Emily shook her head slowly. “No, Lea, it’s not your fault. It’s mine,” Emily paused, then continued with what she had realized, “If only… if only I had listened to Arion, they wouldn’t have been hurt like this.”Emily covered her face with her hands and cried softly. Eleanor hugged her friend.Nothing was said between them for a minute.Ethan and Della, watching, felt touched by their bond and gave them time.Eleanor released her embrace and wiped Emily’s tear
