"Since there's no further need for revisions, the land expansion and the addition of several new building units can begin next week. We'll send regular reports on the progress of the construction so Sir can monitor it without the need to come to Milan."Kaivan nods in agreement. His mind remains focused on the Contractor he hired to complete the land expansion project for his hotel in Milan."Don't hesitate to inform me if there are any issues disrupting the construction process. You can contact me anytime, even outside of work hours. What's important is that I want this project to be realized and completed according to the timeline I've set."The man on the other side of Kaivan's call nods in response."We'll expedite the project this time. I'm confident it will be finished before the New Year celebration.""In that case, continue the work. I entrust everything to you," Kaivan says. He extends his hand for a handshake. "Since it's late now, I believe today's meeting is sufficient. We
Kaivan woke up. Gathering all his consciousness, he then bent down slightly. Finding Anne still fast asleep in his embrace.The woman's breath was heard regularly. The aura of fear she shamelessly displayed last night had completely faded. The woman's beautiful face now appeared so peaceful in her sleep.Slowly, Kaivan brought his right hand. Pushing aside the strands of hair covering Anne's smooth cheek. Shortly after, he chose to enjoy his wife's beautiful face for a moment while stroking the top of her hair repeatedly."I don't know, really, what God's plan was for us to meet in such a complicated situation. I'm confused about how I should act towards you. Sometimes I also feel pity. But at other times, you often behave annoyingly. If only we had met in a better state, maybe the story wouldn't be like this."Again, Kaivan brought his hand, this time to gently caress Anne's cheek."Even if the baby in your belly turns out to be mine, I promise to take care of both of you wholehearte
Anne is very confident about what she's seeing right now. While waiting for Kaivan, who is taking a shower, she accidentally discovers a neatly concealed Glock Meyer pistol in the inner pocket of the jacket he's going to wear.One big question arises in Anne's mind: why does Kaivan need to carry a pistol in his jacket? They're just going to a celebration party, not heading into battle against enemies, right?However, all the anticipation and reasons for carrying a firearm to the party are finally answered now. After a few minutes outside the event venue, precisely when the couple is engaged in a small conversation in the parking area, Anne's eyes clearly spot a man dressed in black standing several meters behind her husband. In a matter of seconds, the unknown man pulls out a gun from his clothing. Anne, realizing this quickly, pushes Kaivan's body in a swift motion, causing the man to fall to the left.Simultaneously, a gunshot rings out in the air. Luckily, neither of them is hurt.
Kaivan ushers Anne into the car. In the early dawn hours, he's already taking her to the airport. During the journey, Kaivan senses that something isn't right. Anne can even feel Kaivan's unease, so she reaches for his wrist and holds it tightly."You can use this, right?" Kaivan takes a pistol from his jacket pocket. He hands the firearm to his wife."Of course, I can," Anne nods immediately."Keep this. If something happens to me when we get out of the car, go far away. Find a way to return to my hotel as soon as possible. Ask Meggy or Hans to protect you."Anne immediately shakes her head in response to Kaivan's request. She's determined never to leave Kaivan, no matter what."I will stay by your side. We'll go back to London together." Upon hearing this statement, Kaivan falls silent. He doesn't respond to his wife's words anymore. Even though they're being closely guarded by the Witch Hunter group, the fear still lingers in his mind. He's worried about something happening to the
For a moment, Anne might have had a sigh of relief because she was able to return to London safely without any losses. In her heart, she continued to be grateful to have met Kaivan, who seemed to be the right person to seek protection from. What would have happened if she hadn't met that man? Her life might have been lost now, facing the mafia that had been targeting her all this time.However, it seemed that Anne couldn't fully breathe easy. She almost forgot that she had a promise to reveal all her secrets to the man who was now her husband. Now, she had to think hard about how to stall or divert her husband's thoughts from asking about that promise."You can rest immediately. If you need anything, just call Meggy," Kaivan instructed as he and Anne were already inside the room."Where are you going?" the woman asked when she saw Kaivan getting ready to leave again."I have to meet Hans. There are many issues I want to resolve regarding our attack in Milan," explained the man. "I wan
Kaivan continued to gaze at Anne's face as she busied herself preparing breakfast in the kitchen. After stopping meal preparation for a while due to sulking, this morning the beautiful woman was back in the kitchen, engrossed in her work.Leaning against one corner of the wall, minute by minute, Kaivan spent just observing what his wife was doing. For some reason, Kaivan suddenly felt that Anne looked even more beautiful than usual.In Kaivan's eyes, Anne's face appeared captivating even without a hint of makeup. Her long hair was left to flow freely, adding a sexy impression to anyone who saw her. If I pay close attention, why does Anne seem more beautiful as time goes on? Or could it be that I'm just realizing it now? Kaivan reflexively grimaced and shook his head, uncertain about his thoughts. All this time, he had always convinced himself that Anne was nothing more than a disruptor who wasn't his type. But why did he find himself thinking about her so often now?If Anne were to he
"Sir, here's a collection of documents containing partnership proposals from several renowned vendors. Perhaps you can choose which ones are suitable for collaborating with our hotel in the future."Mike handed over a stack of documents for Kaivan to read and review. Today, the man's schedule was busy until later in the afternoon. Luckily, Kaivan had already completed some of the work quite well."Have you gone through them?" Kaivan asked as he opened the documents that Mike had just handed over, one by one."What I've handed over this time is what I believe and the rest of the team believe to be the best options. The decision on which ones to proceed with is up to you."Kaivan nodded, starting to cross out names of vendors that he felt should or shouldn't collaborate with his hotel.Lately, Four Seasons itself was known for its reputation as one of the most luxurious five-star hotels. Even Travel Leisure and Zagat Survey magazines ranked Four Seasons Hotels 89th among the most luxuri
A few months earlier..Anna Maria Lopez gazed back at the piece of paper given specifically to her. The woman continued to read carefully, grasping the instructions provided. Clearly written there was the name of someone she was supposed to find. The name of a man who wasn't entirely unfamiliar to her ears.Kaivan Maximilian.Four Seasons Hotel (Netral Place)Park LaneSecret Code: A1Anne brought her hand to swipe the screen of the cellphone she held. Opening a search page on the internet, she typed the name 'Kaivan' into the available field in order to gather the needed information."Kaivan Maximilian," the woman read. "Owner of the Four Seasons Hotel chain. Eldest child of businessman Federich Maximilian. Single, successful at a young age, and..."Anne immediately sharpened her eyes to read this particular piece of information."Famously associated with many women from the world of celebrities and famous models."Oh my goodness!Anne muttered unconsciously."So, I'm going to deal
If asked what brings immense happiness to Kaivan Maximilian at the moment, there are only two answers: Anne and their beautiful daughter.If only he had listened to his ego in the past, perhaps he and Anne wouldn't have ended up as happy as they are now. Kaivan also expresses continuous gratitude to the friends who successfully convinced him to marry a woman he once clearly didn't know.Up to this moment, Kaivan still can't comprehend how God orchestrated his life's scenarios so skillfully. How could he, who was once famously arrogant, surrender so easily to someone named Annatasia? And now he finds himself enjoying life, especially with their beautiful daughter finally born into the world."Kimmy, pay attention," Kaivan commands. "When shooting, you need to focus on the target in front of you. Take a slow breath. Then exhale as the bullet is released from the pistol you're holding," he explains seriously.
"Hey... wake up..." Anne whispered. The woman seemed restless. She had been trying to change her sleeping position for a while now. But still, her eyes wouldn't close. In fact, it was getting even harder to fall asleep."What's up?" Kaivan replied as he opened his eyes. Gathering all his awareness, he adjusted his position. He glanced briefly at the corner of the wall to check the time displayed there. "Why aren't you sleeping yet?" he asked."My stomach is hurting. Our baby has been so active in there for a while now. I don't know how many times they've been kicking and moving around," Anne complained.Seeing his wife in pain, Kaivan immediately reached out his right hand. He gently stroked the surface of her stomach with deep emotion.At nine months pregnant, Kaivan often found Anne struggling to sleep. She always had some kind of discomfort every night – whether it was stomach pain, back pai
"So, we'll be heading home soon?" Anne asked as they were strolling through the city of Zurich.In total, the two of them had spent three days in Interlaken. Therefore, yesterday, Kaivan decided to take Anne back to Zurich. And today, he had promised to take his wife to explore other interesting places before deciding to return to London later in the evening."Yes, darling. I apologize for not being able to take you out for too long. Tomorrow morning, Mr. Harold wants to meet to discuss the mall construction business. But don't worry. Once all the work deadlines are met, I'll take you out again. You're free to choose wherever you want to go."Anne turned her head. She gave him a grateful smile, feeling pleased with all the sweet gestures Kaivan had shown. Somehow, he was really good at capturing her heart. Maybe, this was one of Kaivan's tactics to win over women."No need to exaggerate. I'm fine if

After going through numerous investigations and evidence gathering, the parliament officials involved in the scandal with Luca have finally been charged and sentenced appropriately. Not much different from his colleagues, Don Luca Guzman faced a similar fate, even more tragic. The Italian-blooded man was charged with serious crimes including drug trafficking, illegal firearms, money laundering, and several attempted murders. As a result, the Supreme Court rendered a verdict to sentence the middle-aged man to life imprisonment. No parole, appeal opportunities, or negotiations."As you requested, Luca and his followers will rot in jail," Hans said over the phone to Kaivan. The large-bodied man was indeed tasked with attending the sentencing hearing regarding the punishment Luca would receive."Thank goodness. I'm glad to hear this news. I hope that after this, no one dares to disturb my life again.""I'll make sure of that, Kai. I hope
After calling hotel security and reporting tonight's incident to the authorities, Kaivan, Anne, and Edward hurriedly left the hotel. They handed over the assault case to Hans for immediate follow-up.Kaivan kept expressing his gratitude to Edward. Thanks to his friend, he was able to locate and save his wife from danger.It turns out that Edward's suspicions were indeed true. Because of this uneasy feeling, he had decided to visit Kaivan repeatedly over the past few days to ensure his friend's well-being."I owe you my life, Ed," Kaivan said when the three of them were at the Four Seasons Hotel. They were sitting in the lobby, waiting for Mike to bring drinks. Meanwhile, Anne focused on cleaning the scrapes on her husband's hands and arms."It's okay. Isn't that what a friend is supposed to do?" Edward replied.Kaivan nodded."Of course. Now, I've even realized that you're
Edward has just parked the sports car he was driving in the parking lot of the Four Seasons Hotel. As he promised earlier this afternoon, he will be showing Kaivan some of the new weapon collections he recently purchased tonight.As shooting enthusiasts, the two of them share a common interest in selecting and collecting various types of firearms. They often consult each other or hunt together to find the desired items."Mike..." Edward greeted as he entered the hotel lobby. "Is Kaivan in his room?"Mike, who had just finished his work at the time, walked over. Approaching Edward, who was standing not far from the reception desk."Mr. Kaivan left a while ago with his wife. They are attending a birthday party," he said.Edward nodded. It was his mistake not to contact Kaivan before coming over."Have they been gone for long?""Quite a while, about two hours ago. They might be back
When Kaivan woke up, it was already midday. This was evident from the abundance of sunlight that managed to pierce through the large curtains covering the bedroom window.Turning slightly, he found his wife still deeply asleep in his embrace, her arm serving as a pillow. One side of her face rested against Kaivan's broad chest.Seeing Anne in such a peaceful state made Kaivan unconsciously smile. Gazing at his wife's beautiful face without blinking, he remained fixed on her for quite a while. Almost as if enchanted or perhaps hypnotized. Whatever it was, Kaivan felt that this was a new activity he must repeat every day. Yes, admiring Anne's lovely face while she was still asleep seemed like a delightful pastime.Satisfied with gazing at his wife's face, Kaivan gently kissed her forehead and then her cheek in turn. This action caused the woman beside him to stir. She formed a faint smile, her eyes not fully open yet.
Giorgino and Noah welcome Kaivan and Anne as they visit the MI6 headquarters at Vauxhall Cross. This morning, the guys had a schedule for an interrogation regarding the Luca case.As witnesses and victims, of course, the MI6 wants to hear directly about the violence Kaivan experienced when dealing with Luca. They hope that after his testimony, it could add to the list of demands against that middle-aged guy to get him punished."Great to see you again, Kaivan," Giorgino greets. "I'm really sorry about the mishap that happened to you the other day. I hope you're in much better shape now."Kaivan smiles and nods politely. The four of them are now standing together in a corner of the building."I'm also glad to be able to meet you again...""You can call me Dad or Papa," Giorgino interrupts. "Whichever makes you comfortable.""Okay, Dad. My condition now is much better than before. Besides, this is noth
