"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

    Following her conversation with Markus, Lexy has now been pacing back and forth in the ladies' room. She is completely conflicted between helping him and also being faithful to her group, which she considers to be far more morally upright to do. She certainly does not intend to betray her bosses, yet she is also adamant about ensuring that absolutely nothing should ever happen to Markus. And despite the fact that they're not technically together, he holds a special place in her heart. If something were to happen to him, she would find it impossible to accept it, and she would surely feel remorse about not helping him at all. If that's the case, would she be prepared to defy her own bosses in order to help the man who does not even appear to be concerned in the least about her? Lexy is neither stupid nor naive, but when it comes to Markus, it seems that she loses all her reasoning and doesn't even care the slightest about herself. She managed to snap at herself in the mirror, "Can yo

    At the exact time, the President walked in, the entire staff grew increasingly silent. They are trying their best to suppress their hushed murmurs at what they are seeing. Every person in the department was genuinely shocked to see him, considering that it was his first time personally being able to visit the floor. And of course, they all knew why he was here. Everyone knows that there is only one person he wishes to see in their department. He went to ask in a deep, husky voice that reverberated throughout the whole office, "Where is she? Where is Ariella?" The employees in front of him all pointed toward the table at the far end of the room at the exact same time. The person that the president is wanting to see is busy with her work. "Ariella," he called out to her once again. Ariella tried to look up from the sketches she was working on when she heard that voice. She initially thought that she was imagining things, but when the voice called out her name again, she knew that it wa

    Ariella is unable to avoid feeling disappointed and disgruntled over the fact that Elliot was able to order her to set aside her work. As much as she has wanted to complete those pending tasks, she was not able to do so, and instead, she is here, seated beside Elliot, as she continues to be frustrated and upset about what has happened. "Stop sulking, honey. This is entirely your fault to even begin with. If you had clearly followed what we have come to an agreement on, this wouldn't even be happening. You know that I don't want you to forget about yourself over work. You are much more important to me than any of the businesses I have, Ari." Yes, that is very lovely to hear, but right now she is so extremely upset by what Elliot did that she is totally unwilling to appreciate even the goodness in those words and actions. "I am not even going to talk to you right now, Elliot Allister." The only thing she can do in return is to uphold her hostile attitude towards him as they travel to w

    "Where is he? Is he going to show up tonight?" Kyle sent Brit the question as soon as he entered the warehouse, briefly nodding at the few men within the area who were with the capo. He received Brit's call a while ago after Elliot informed him that he had left A-hotels with Ariella, and after concluding his daily rounds in the hotel, Kyle immediately headed to the warehouse to find out what was going on and why he needed to be here. Brit then said, "He said he'd see us tonight. I just don't know how he'd do that considering that Ari is with him." He then gestured for the other men to leave him and the underboss. His men followed suit immediately. "Since the boss isn't here yet, should we try to talk with Lexy first and try extracting information from her?" "What details have you been able to possibly learn from her? Any words from her on what is her actual relationship with the dragon warrior's capo?" Kyle asks, and when Brit recalls what happened with his talk with Lexy, he can n

    "Then why would you keep things to yourself?" Kyle asked again. "I was told that you are choosing to retain your silence regarding a very few vital details, even though you seem to know those important specifics that we need. Are you defying our orders now?" "No, boss, I wouldn't do anything like that at all." "Why does it appears to me that you no longer want to be a member of the crew that we have here, so I kept on wondering, are you still a member of this crew, or do you refuse to identify yourself with this gang any longer? We won't even pressure you into being with us if you don't want to, but of course there are repercussions to all of this. And I cannot bring myself to suppose that we have to sever all ties in a very undesirable manner. Would you want to experience that though, Lexy?" Immediately, Lexy shook her head. She only felt scared of the underboss on these few occasions. Because Kyle is the more playful of the three bosses, she would find him easier to interact with

    I began to question Elliot as soon as he got off another phone call, this one made by Kyle. "Hey, baby, are we still on for tonight going in the warehouse?" When Kyle called to talk to him about something, we had just finished eating and were unwinding, so I decided to go into the kitchen and clean up first. "You certainly don't really listen to me, don't you?" He tried to say, "I told you to just not clean up in the kitchen since the maids will then be here for that later tonight. You know that they always do, right?" I responded matter-of-factly, "It's not like I'm even doing anything else, and beyond that, there is not much to clean up anyway. And I'm already used to doing just that." He patted the space next to him for me, saying, "Come here and sit beside me." I approached him and sat down next to him, and he then wrapped his arms around my waist. "I don't want you to end up wasting all your energy or even tiring yourself all the time having to worry about me or the things that

    Markus is absolutely delighted that I was able to contact them after staying with Elliot for weeks and have this video call done tonight. "Hey, pumpkin, it's good that you were able to call tonight and have this done. I mean, we really happened to miss you around here. Everyone was asking about you, and despite how stubborn you were, the whole gang misses you." "Yeah, I know it took me a little while to call back, and I apologize for that. I still have to familiarize myself with the place around here—not that it is necessary to adjust to the living environment, but, you know, just being around Elliot all the time. It's still a surreal feeling to be reunited with him and to live with him, for that matter." It was the very first time within the past few weeks that I was able to converse with Markus, of course through video conference, and I found myself thinking how much I miss having a conversation with him. I did not have enough time to message him when I got here; rather, I could o

    Markus and I will always share a special bond with each other, despite any prior reservations I might have harbored about him. "Oh my gosh, you are such a sweet gentleman. And you seem to be missing me that much, huh?" I am now convinced that he has always been committed to my family as well as myself, and if there is one thing for which I am grateful, it is his standing by my brother all the time. "Markus, I miss you too. I actually miss having to banter with you all the time too." When he pressed me with the question, "What's your plan, Ari? Are you settling there for good?" He suddenly sounded a bit serious. I have never even considered a response to those questions that he threw at me. "Are you choosing to join them and be a part of their crew, or you're still a part of us? The Dragon Warriors miss you, Ari." What should I tell him then? I really don't know what to say to him, but I also know that I'll have to answer these questions sooner or later. But as of now, I would prefer

    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
