"Mr. Connor?""Yes, pleased to meet you," Leon replied coldly.His grip on Arren never wavered; he held her as if to ensure his arms were the safest shield, protecting her from the world."Open the car!" Leon ordered the driver in a firm tone. The driver promptly obeyed their employer's command and opened the car door quickly."I-I'm sorry, Sir. The lady must accompany us to the police station," the inspector said with apparent hesitation in his eyes. It was evident he was trying to overcome his trembling when facing Leonard Connor, a powerful man in Canada.Facing this man made the inspector feel like he was dealing with an impending storm ready to strike at any moment. But there was a truth that needed to be acknowledged. His duty as a police officer was to uphold justice."Don't you understand that my wife is the victim here?!" Leon shouted. His voice thundered with anger. He couldn't accept the fact that his wife was a murder suspect."Look at how fragile and small she is! Arren co
Arren and Leon finally returned to the mansion after a stressful day.Their arrival was welcomed by loyal servants who were relieved to see them safe.Warmth and relief filled the atmosphere inside the grand mansion. Arren and Leon could finally rest in peace.Arren appeared to be sound asleep in Leon's embrace. Her husband gently carried her to the bed, carefully laying her down. He had already removed her clothes and shoes.Arren looked comfortable, though she hadn't cleaned herself yet. She continued to sleep, although she woke up briefly."No one will hurt you again, Arren. I'm here for you," Leon said softly, embracing her with love.Leon then fell asleep beside Arren, relieved. He vowed never to let Arren go through something like this again.Leon also swore to deal firmly and coldly with the traitor who had harmed his family the next day."Bring her here!" Leon ordered the head of security."Very well, Sir!" The burly man immediately went to the west pavilion, where Vennina was.
"Sir, let me be the one to punish her," Clark said confidently.For a moment, Clark glanced at Arren, hoping she would support his decision for their plan.Arren was lost in thought, not fully understanding Clark's stance, but she quickly persuaded Leon not to kill Vennina."Let Clark take care of it, Leon. You don't need to dirty your hands," Arren said, trying to influence Leon. He appeared unhappy, genuinely wanting to shoot Vennina right then and there.Amidst the tension, Ford suddenly entered, breaking the oppressive atmosphere in the room."Boss! Trader X's headquarters is on fire! Everyone's dead," he reported, out of breath."What?!" Leon exclaimed. Trader X should have been captured alive to prove Napoli's involvement in the chaos.For some time, Ford had been investigating the sudden disappearance of prisoners during the police car accident.He had been tracking the prisoners and even visiting suspicious nightclubs.Finally, Ford discovered the existence of secret auctions f
Clark smiled slyly, knowing that Vennina would ultimately have to comply, even without an agreement. But he realized that making a deal would be more advantageous than confronting her head-on. Clark decided to offer a fair reward. "Don't you miss your freedom, Vennina?" Vennina fell silent momentarily, her eyes trying to decipher Clark's unpredictable expression. She had to find out if she could truly trust this man. "How can I know that you'll keep your promise?" Vennina pressed with a skeptical tone. Clark laughed with a cutting, sarcastic tone. After mocking Vennina to his satisfaction, he again stared at her with a demeaning expression. How could a prisoner like her doubt an offer of freedom like this? "You have no choice, Vennina. I can reveal all your secrets if you reject my offer. Isn't this the best opportunity you've ever had?" Vennina felt trapped. Clark's words were irrefutable. She realized how dangerous this man was. However, she still wanted to try negotiating fo
After feeling satisfied with every inch of Arren's body, Leon finally got up from the bed. He started sipping the tea that the servant had prepared. While waiting for Arren to wake up, Leon looked serious as he read the morning newspaper. His eyes stared intently at the headlines that made him snort in anger. Today's news was about a massive fire that had swept through Oldtown a few nights ago. Although the police investigation had concluded that the fire was due to an electrical fault, Leon felt that something was amiss. However, following Ford's advice, he had to stop suspecting Napoli. It was draining his energy. "Mmhh...," Arren wriggled. The girl finally opened her eyes. "Leon, you cheater!" she grumbled, her body still feeling weak from their previous activities. Leon merely smiled at his wife's scolding. He then poured hot tea for Arren, offering it to her attentively. "Drink up." Arren appreciated her husband's gesture. "Thank you," she said softly, sipping the tea
Arren was surprised to see Clark in the training room. However, his presence also piqued her curiosity. With hesitation, she reached out and took Clark's hand, rising to her feet. "What's going on?" Arren asked, trying to quell her curiosity. Clark smiled asymmetrically. His eyebrow raised slightly as Arren was slow to catch on to his intentions. "Our plan, Arren." Arren was taken aback. She didn't expect this conversation to come so quickly. Arren thought that the escape plan was still being formulated and wouldn't be executed anytime soon. Her feelings became uncertain. "Uh⦠Is it going to happen this soon?" she asked, uncertain. For some reason, Arren suddenly felt unprepared. She had just enjoyed a martial arts training session with Leon, which had been quite enjoyable, and she didn't want it to end so soon. "What do you mean by 'this soon'?" Clark retorted, clearly frustrated with Arren's apparent lack of enthusiasm for their mission. It seemed Clark's assumptions were c
While Arren contemplated her difficult choices in the silence of the night, Leon was dealing with an unexpected guest at the Luna Club headquarters in the capital city. Ford contacted Leon, informing him that a deranged man was looking for Arren, his wife. Leon's jaw clenched upon hearing the man's name: Adam Hart. Hastily, Leon went to the capital city to confront him. Initially, Ford didn't recognize him, but when the man mentioned Arren's name, Ford realized he was Arren's father. The deranged man who had gambled away his daughter as collateral. Ford felt that this situation couldn't be ignored, and he couldn't forget Leon was growing fonder of Arren, his young wife. The sudden appearance of Adam Hart could shake the household of the big boss. Ford felt the need to take preventive action before things got more complicated. In the crowd surrounding the nightclub's entrance, Ford forcibly pulled Adam Hart to prevent him from causing further chaos. The head of security quickly
In that tense situation, Leon gazed at Adam with genuine indifference.Although the man's face displayed panic and despair, Leon felt no pity for him.The older man had gambled away his daughter as collateral. It was his reckless decision that had landed him in this complicated situation."Remember, Arren belongs to me now, and I will do everything to protect her. If you try to take her back, you will face the consequences," Leon issued a stern threat before finally letting go of the man.Keeping Adam Hart here any longer was giving Leon a headache. He wanted to use his valuable time and energy effectively."Release him," he ordered his head of security."Of course, Boss!" the man complied and removed the old man's handcuffs.As soon as his hands were free, Adam lunged towards Leon, intent on assaulting him. Unfortunately, his feeble strength couldn't match Leon's perfect physical condition.Bugh!Adam crumpled from a knockout punch by Leon before his forces could land on the mafia bos
The tip of the dagger was bent. No one would have expected that a sharp dagger could change its shape like that."No-no!" the servant cried out. She was very confused. How could Arren's stomach, which should have been stained with blood, bend the dagger without any effort?In a decisive moment, the dagger had undergone plastic deformation, like a metal dance changing its shape without being able to return to its original state."W-what's happening?" The servant wondered with trembling hands. Arren just smiled triumphantly. Her opponent had been thoroughly defeated without calculation."I anticipated this, Lesel," Arren said with a proud face.Yes. Lesel. It turned out she was Esme's henchman who was so eager to take her life."H-how did you know?"Arren immediately tore the tulle fabric covering her stomach. There was a shiny accessory there. A steel belt."W-what?"At first, the rumble and vibration were indeed felt by Lesel. She didn't expect that the collision between the dagger and
The blonde servant pursed her lips, while the black-haired one kept staring straight ahead."Fine!" she replied somewhat annoyed, but indeed their plan must not be ruined."I'll keep watch around. You need to get ready soon.""Okay."The two suspicious servants then continued their secret mission. There wasn't much for them to do except find their target and carry out their revenge."It seems he's on the west balcony. Wait for my signal, we'll launch the attack soon!""Okay!"***The atmosphere of the banquet was still lively with the melodious music playing softly in the background. Some guests enjoyed it while dining, while others continued chatting. Arren and Leon seemed happy as they greeted the guests present."It seems... I feel stifled," Arren whispered to Leon. This pregnancy made her easily tired and also felt hot all the time."Do you want to leave this place?" Leon asked, wrapping his arm around his wife's waist."Yes," Arren replied weakly."Let's go, then," said Leon, affe
Ava's eyes sparkled with happiness. She nodded eagerly and hugged Arren in return. "Thank you, Aunt!"Ava didn't expect that her birthday would be celebrated with a special feast, even though the feast wasn't specifically held for her."You're welcome, Ava!" Arren replied in kind. She was happy to cheer up her little friend who seemed down and lacking in spirit due to the absence of her parents."We have to go, Ava. This is for you," said Leon as he handed over a wrapped gift box with a purple ribbon on top."W-what's this, Sir?" Ava asked, surprised and delighted. She didn't expect to receive a gift from Mr. Leon on a day that wasn't her birthday."Consider it an installment gift," Leon joked, chuckling softly."Ahaha! Thank you so much!" exclaimed Ava as she opened the gift wrap. Inside was a brown fur teddy bear. "So cute!" Ava exclaimed happily. Arren and Leon were pleased to see her reaction.Shortly afterward, they really had to leave as there was something they needed to ensure
After some time in the hospital, Arren was finally allowed to go home. There were no signs of danger or contraindications from the treatment she received."Thank you, Doctor. I feel much healthier," Arren said after the doctor visited her for the last time."You're welcome, Madam. I'm glad you've recovered without difficulty."Doctors Freddy and Josh watched Arren leave with relieved hearts. Finally, their worries were gone. Arren was truly free from the danger that threatened her life.***On the way home, Leon kept staring at Arren with uncertain feelings. He was truly happy with his wife's recovery, but there was something that worried him."Are you sure about your plan? I don't want to put you in danger again, Darling!" Leon exclaimed, not wanting to endanger his wife anymore."There's no other way. We can do it, Darling!" Arren said firmly with strong determination.Leon sighed deeply. He couldn't prevent his wife's stubbornness. "Promise me, you'll stick to our plan.""Yes, Darli
"Sir! You're mistaken!" the nurse exclaimed, holding Leon's arm to prevent him from punching the doctor."What?!" Leon turned to the nurse. He was exhausted and couldn't tolerate any more mistakes from the doctor that would result in his children being born with defects."You misunderstood, Sir!""Yes, that's right!""Your children are fine, Sir."The voices of the nurse and doctor echoed. Leon lowered his fist and looked towards Dr. Freddy, who seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief."Tell me, Doctor! What happened to my wife and my children?!" Leon demanded, still full of anger.Before the doctor could answer, Arren's faint voice could be heard behind the nurse standing by the bed."Leβonβ¦" she called softly."Arren!" Leon pushed aside the nurses covering his wife's presence. "Arren!" Leon approached Arren, tears streaming down his face. "Are you... awake?" he asked, gently caressing his wife's forehead."Uh huh," Arren replied weakly. "What happened? Why does it seem crowded here?"
Leon gripped Arren's hand tightly as they rushed to the hospital. Anxiety and worry consumed him. For some reason, Leon had a bad feeling."Driver! Faster!" Leon commanded as he saw Arren grimacing in pain, cold sweat dripping from her forehead and body, Arren's breaths were labored."Yes, Sir!"The driver immediately accelerated the car, doing his best to balance the increasingly speeding vehicle. He was truly worried that the young lady was suffering from an extraordinary ailment."Arren, hold on," Leon pleaded, continuing to comfort Arren with hugs and handholds."Argh, Leon..." Arren groaned as if enduring excruciating pain. Not just in his stomach, but throughout her body."We're almost there!" The driver signaled. Leon was so anxious. He nodded and prepared to take Arren to the emergency room as soon as they arrived at the hospital.Finally, after driving for some time, they arrived at the hospital."Doctor! Doctor!" Leon carried Arren to the ER, where everyone watched them with
Lora was successfully evacuated, and everyone was overjoyed. However, there was a strangeness apparent to her. Arren even noticed it. "Le-Leon...," she called out as Lora approached her.An unfamiliar scent emanated from Lora's body. It made Arren extremely nauseous."Ugh!" Arren vomited. He couldn't contain the overwhelming nausea."Darling!" Leon exclaimed in alarm. What was happening to his wife?"Le-Leon... Lora's... scent... it's very... unpleasant," she murmured as she nestled into her husband's embrace. Leon immediately caught Arren, who had almost fallen earlier. Now, his beloved wife was in a swoon."What scent?" Leon tried to sharpen his sense of smell. Indeed, he smelled something foreign and pungent, like the scent of lead. "Lora, come closer to me!"Leon tried to inhale the scent more deeply. Lora's heart, of course, was in turmoil. But the girl had already linked herself to William. Now, Mr. Leon was no longer the man who dominated her heart."Just wait a moment."With mo
Laurens's shout almost made Mrs. Dolores's heart jump out. "Oh, God!" The middle-aged woman then ran following Laurens's footsteps as he moved toward the field area."Leon! Let's follow them!" Arren exclaimed, following Mrs. Dolores's lead to her daughter's supposedly accident site. Leon followed Arren after ensuring Mrs. Dolores's house was securely closed.Arriving at the field, they were surprised to find Lora in a gaping hole. The hole, with rough soil around it, resembled a dug hole."Ouch!" Lora groaned in pain. Several wounds were visible on her knees and arms. "Mom! Help me!" she cried, tears streaming down her face."Oh, God! Lora! What happened to you?!" Mrs. Dolores trembled. "Laurens! Do something for your sister!" she ordered her son, who also seemed confused."I was just running, then... suddenly I fell in here! Huhu!" Lora continued to cry in pain.Arren and Leon had just arrived, as did the villagers who heard Laurens's shouts nearby."Get a rope!" Leon shouted, rolling
"Lora!" Arren called out, waving her hand. Lora just nodded her head, not returning the gesture of the young miss.Laurens felt uneasy. He elbowed Lora's ribs a little roughly. "Be polite, Lora!" he scolded his younger sister.Lora just snorted and turned away. She then ran off home without saying goodbye, without uttering a word.Arren, who was quite far from them, looked puzzled. However, she didn't dwell on it too much. There were many villagers waiting to talk to her."So, how will you develop our village, Miss Leader?" asked a middle-aged man who seemed to be struggling to find work.Arren just smiled and gave a brief answer. She didn't want to make empty promises. Arren would surely do her best. "You must be patient but diligent. When the village programs are finally implemented, I hope the villagers will truly make the most of them.""Thank you, Miss Leader! We will definitely do that!"Leon looked proud of Arren's gentle yet firm attitude. Arren could indeed be a good leader, l
