For Ariella, this was yet another long and tiring day at work. One of Elliot's businesses is currently conducting another potential growth, and they are tasked, of course, with heading the expansion projects. She decided to focus her attention on the entire stack of paperwork and sketches that had been set right in front of her. Because she didn't want to let her workday lag, she has not had time to go out to eat lunch yet. Maybe later she would, with Elliot. But then again, they would probably run into each other later in the afternoon because Elliot was in a meeting as well. And she is already too preoccupied working on this project with her team that she does not really mind not seeing him for a couple of hours.

She was still trying to overcome a strong feeling of surrealism at just being able to work as an architect once again and carry out the tasks she was so familiar with and comfortable doing. She almost gave up on her passion, on the verge of believing that dealing with the m

    "It's as if you don't know your boyfriend." Hearing Kyle says the word "boyfriend" makes Ariella smile. She really loves hearing that as it makes everything about her and Elliot so official. "We are always on strict orders to be with you if he is not around. And Elliot, being a jealous ass boyfriend of yours, will only allow his most trsuted men to come near you." "So it makes you the most trusted one then?" Ari questions him playfully, trying to make light conversation this time. "The one and only, sweetie, I mean, lady love. I almost forgot that we are not allowed to call you anything unless it is your name or lady love. That jealous boyfriend of yours would be the death of us one day." Kyle whines, making Ari giggle. Ari's relationship with Kyle is also one with ups and downs. Kyle definitely doesn't like her when she comes into the picture, but things got different when they started getting closer, but with all the deceiving and plotting in the past and what happened to Kyle an

    The air is filled with Ari's constant giggling, followed by Kyle's snickers here and there. It had been over an hour since they had had a scrumptious lunch, but instead of going back to the office, the two of them chose to continue their conversation in the lounge near the pool area. Ari is delighted to be there with Kyle over a cup of coffee. There was nothing serious after that meal; everything was just playful and carefree. She had no idea that Kyle and she would be like this after their awkward encounter earlier. And, to just be completely honest with herself, she is enjoying every single moment of her nonsensical conversation with Kyle. She was at first too uptight and cautious around him, but Kyle made sure that she felt at ease with him. And right now, she doesn't even care a bit about how loud and carefree she is. She is enjoying herself, and that's what matters. She also believed that it was essential to accept what Kyle had earlier told her. It is indeed irrelevant to be

    But all she heard was a grunt from Kyle. "I would just have to ask so that you could answer with the details. How could you even give an answer if there was no question?" She scowls, "You truly are not fair," and then tries to answer. "What Markus and I have is a genuine friendship, and nothing more than that. It's also not as if I'm required to explain to you, but just for your benefit, given that I've been appreciating this time with you, then I'll answer you honestly. We are nothing more than friends. And whatever you think you know about us because of previous incidents here at A-hotels is completely false to begin with. We are friends who have each other's backs." Kyle was compelled to inquire further, "So you trust him to not go against you, huh?" In order to learn more, he will need to arrange for Ari to speak about the subject more, which is the reason why he needs to carry out additional research for her. "Of course, I have absolute confidence and faith in him. He earned ou

    She said with resolve as she glanced at her watch, "Perhaps I'll do just that later. But I believe that right now it is time to resume our work and stop lagging." "Why is there a need to go back to work again when I've just arrived?" She recognized the voice of Elliot and turned around in surprise to see her boyfriend, followed by Brit, walking towards her and Kyle in the lounge area. He can't hold that devilish grin as he eyes her. He then asked as he approached her, "How was your lunch, babe?" before bending down and kissing her on the lips without giving a second thought to the onlookers. "Has Kyle been treating you well, my sweetie?" She welcomes him by saying, "You're here. I thought your meeting wouldn't end until this late afternoon. I am good, and yes, your friend here is treating me quite well. Are you done with work?" "Well, I've been telling you time and again that you are more important than any of the businesses that I have, Ari. And besides, I miss you terribly." He ev

    Brit rubs his jaw and starts to think intently about just what his underboss is trying to say to him. "So now you're trying to tell me that a possibility in all of this could be that perhaps the dragon warrior's capo is trying to target the number one spot in their gang?" Kyle nods his head as he says, "I am assuming it to be that way. But, of course, I am still not sure about that. I am just saying this as a result of the very little critical information that I have gathered while talking to Ariella." "I just can't seem to reconcile that notion though, boss. I mean, it is a fact that Ariella's brother took part in Big B's abduction, so in essence, he also knew that they were also working with Lucio. And this is what I don't understand. Why the fuck would he work with someone who helped target his own family before? Considering that Lucio is not their real enemy, though, but the fact that that asshole worked with the Wilsons to bring them down, should be a reason in itself for them n

    "The Asian cargo that Ariella has been working on will push through, in addition to another gang from the Asian counterparts who are trying to show their intentions to also work collaboratively with us on their trades." As he hands Ethan copies of documents for their last transaction, Luke reports to his boss. The paperwork of their activities had been handed to him once more after Ariella left with Elliot. However, he doesn't even really make a big deal out of it because he had grown accustomed to doing the task well before Ari actually joined the crew. Ethan went on to say, feeling as grateful and appreciative of his sister as he had always done, "That's fantastic news indeed. I am extremely pleased that Ari was able to make that happen for us." Luke acknowledges this with a nod right away. It is hugely beneficial for the Dragon Warriors that Ari was able to penetrate the Asian market, as they have made their mark in the underground because of that. "What's the plan, though? Are

    When Markus entered his office, Ethan decided to ask right away, "It is about time that you came back. What's the update on the intelligence that I am asking for from you?" "My men are already hot on their trails to Lucio. And just as we are actually pressuming, it actually does look like he is unmistakably in close collaboration with somebody else aside from us." Markus remarked as he plopped down on the seat situated in front of Ethan's desk. Ethan then gave out his orders, "Markus, I need confirmation as to who this person is that he is actually working with, and I want the information as soon as possible." They really do have to keep ramping up their initiatives at this point, once again. Because they have to now act entirely on their own if a war breaks out, unlike in the past, nobody else is going to back them this time. "We are putting forth every effort to uncover the truth about all of this, boss, and once we do, we will start to plan and act on Lucio's outright." "Do you

    "I've spent so long calling you, why haven't you bothered to answer? Is it because you still have problems with your gang? Or is it because you are still mad at me? Please do not tell me that you are upset once more because I can't find any reason for you to feel that way now that Ari is no longer here with us." As soon as Lexy responded to the phone, Markus' inquiries swamped her, and she was unprepared for all of them. "Whatever it is that you are thinking about me, please stop. I told you, nothing is going on with Ari and me." Markus had been trying to contact Lexy quite a few times already, but she had been unable to answer all those times. And Markus just doesn't know what to think of it anymore. But in reality, Lexy wasn't able to get a hold of that call because she could make out that she was already being monitored by Brit and their men. "I'm sorry that I wasn't able to answer the call or even get back to you. I wanted to answer, but you know I can't. I'm not sure whether or

    Two men could be seen discreetly bickering over something in the stillness of the night. And although what was happening was visible to the rest of the men on the ground with them, they all chose not to interfere at this moment. They know better than to meddle with something that is not their concern. No one can genuinely understand what the verbal hubbub that is occurring between the two is all about as well. But whatever it is, it begins to appear to be about something big and important for the two to face off on the grounds just like that. The two men exchanged dirty, mean looks as they awaited each other's next move. And it also seemed as if they were about to each draw their firearms and end this ordeal between them, but both of them subsequently changed their minds and thought better of their situation. It really shouldn't reach such an extent once more. They now behave more calmly and rationally with each other than they used to in the past as a result of the changes in their

    The wedding ceremony is happening in a blur for both of them. They are just too focused on each other all the time, as they are both holding each other's hands. The couple is so overjoyed about everything that is happening that they were smiling all throughout. And why wouldn't they? They are getting married! "Now that you can, Elliot, you may now recite your vows." The priest directed him. Elliot wasn't accustomed to these situations, of course. He's never been kind to express how he really feels, especially about love topics, and most of all not in front of other people. Kyle and Brit are the only people who could possibly know everything about what his heart desires. Nevertheless, today, he is willing to voice his opinion openly about Ariella and take away all his inhibitions because he wants Ari to understand how important she is to him. Before actually beginning to say his vows, he even took a deep breath to compose himself. "Hey, you know how hard this is for me, Ari, sweetie.

    As I stood beside Kyle, my heartbeat was thumping frantically in my chest. I am anxious and excited, and I can tell that every person in the hall is feeling the same way as I am. This is where it all ends now. This is the culmination of everything that we've worked so hard to achieve. Today is a very special day for me and Ari, and everyone present here today is going to celebrate this momentous occasion with us. And I've honestly been eagerly awaiting this moment as well for a very long time now. But, in addition to that, I am currently experiencing a wide range of emotions. And for the very first time in my life, I can feel my hands and legs trembling at the same time at just the thought of Ariella Gregory. A distinct kind of nervousness is what I am starting to experience because, even though I'm anxious as I stand here with my best man, my excitement for what today will bring outweighs my nervousness by a long shot. Today is my most anticipated day. I'm going to get married tod

    "There may still be time for you to make up your mind and change the decisions that you made, so are you sure that this is exactly what you intended to be doing?" Markus is acting like an a-hole as usual at this moment. "Sure, everything else with the villains of your lives is done and over with, but are you absolutely able to say that you wanted to marry him, that douche? Just tell me, Ariella, and I am willing to save you from this misery that you are about to get yourself into." I scowled at him as I crossed my arms in front of my chest to just let him know that he was not in the least amusing me and that I was beginning to get upset and clearly annoyed with him. "Markus, are you done grating on my nerves? If you are, can you shut the hell up now?" "What the heck, pumpkin? Why are you being so rude and surly? I'm merely trying to provide some clarity to your muddled and disorganized thinking. And I just want to let you know there is still enough time to back out." "Shut the heck

    "It’s alright, dear. It's actually a very sweet gesture from you. And it just shows how much you really love my daughter." "I really do love her." He said proudly. Ari is too pleased, and she can feel the butterflies in her stomach again just hearing Elliot's words of affection for her in front of her mother. "And I love him too, so much, mom." She said proudly as well, then turning her attention to her fiance she said. "And yeah, I'm actually making your breakfast, but I thought that something must have happened because you kept calling and shouting my name that I have to see you. Are you seriously missing me all that much?" He replied confidently, "I certainly do." Then he lowers his voice and whispers to Ari, "Let's go back up into our room and I'll show you how much I miss you and how much I love you." "I like that." Ari answered grinning. She then turned to face her mother asking her, "Mom, will you be an angel and take over in the kitchen? Elliot and I just need to discuss s

    Elliot immediately woke up from his sleep when he dreamed about Ariella not being beside him. He tried to reach for her but was surprised to find out that she was really no longer lying next to him. "Ari!" He exclaimed in an instant. He's been so protective of her since the recent incident that the prospect of losing her again fills him with dread. He has lost her so many times in the past that he will not allow it to happen again. He jumped out of bed and briskly walked into the bathroom to look for her. "Baby?" He called out to her again but still got no response. He then tried looking for her in the walk-in closet, but still, she was nowhere to be seen. "Baby, where are you?" He says to himself. Instantly, he began to feel uneasy. How could she have gone anywhere without him? Did she abandon him? But why? What did he do to merit that from her? He tried reaching out to her all the time, but Ari is still finding it hard to get through the events of last time, and as he and Ethan d

    It is extremely simple to fool this young man who thinks so highly of himself, and as Mattias nods his head in agreement with Lucio, the elderly man feels he has done an outstanding job. With that being said, he has to leave immediately before Mattias poses a lot of questions that he wouldn't be able to answer. After concluding his report, he said, "With all of that information revealed to you, I will put it to rest at that for the time being." He then grabbed the money and, having to put it in his bag, rose up from his seat and proceeded to go. "I need to leave right now because I have somewhere I need to be. Call me if your big boss has another assignment for me." He declared, turning to leave without waiting for Mattias to respond. "The Allisters—what's up with them then?" The moment Mattias posed that query, Lucio halted in his tracks. "What? What about the Allisters?" "Isn't it that you told me you have information concerning both Gregory and Allister?" Mattias inquired as he

    Lucio was so excited about this meet-up that he greeted Mattias as soon as he came through the door, saying, "Mattias, it's been quite some time since I last heard from you. What surprises do you have in store for me now? Did the boss seem to like everything that I had to say about the Gregory and Allister families? I need details about what went through with your plans." The most recent incidents involving the Wilsons, Gregorys, and Allisters are still unknown to Lucio. He still doesn't know that Mattias and his men have been captured and are under direct orders from Elliot, nor does he know that Matthew is already dead. He made the decision to maintain a low profile after receiving numerous threats from an anonymous gang, and since he doesn't have anyone to back him up solidly, he decided to stay put and keep silent for a little while. And now he's overjoyed that Mattias has summoned him. He may not have information now, but Mattias won't know that, so it will be easy money for
