After the show was over, Gavin guided Mia into the elevator and went to another room. As soon she entered, Mia felt she was in different building because there was no clue of underground building.
“Where are we?” asked Mia, looking around in astonishment.
That club room was full of paintings, and luxurious properties. Even the wall was elegantly painted with an orderly chain of picture frames.
Jaxon’s face shown everywhere. There were more than ten people in one frame, some of them shown only a couple of people.
“Who are they?” she asked again to Gavin who was sitting on a bar.
“This is the main room of Red Cage, those photos are the members. You can see Jaxon in every frame.” Gavin poured a drink, offered to Mia who smoothly refused it.
“Jaxon looks younger in these photos,” said Mia realizing some photos of teen Jaxon. As if that was her own private photo collection museum.

Jaxon dragged Mia into the apartment and ignored his subordinate’s curious expression when they passed the lobby. The girl strived to let her hands go off but failed. Jaxon wouldn’t let that happen this time. It was enough, about what happened in the arena.Arriving in the middle of the room, Jaxon loosened his grip and saw Mia with unbearable anger of his face.There was an urge to punch Gavin over and over again; it was fortune that Gavin run before Jaxon taught him a lesson.“What was on your mind coming to Red Cage without telling me earlier?!” snapped Jaxon on Mia who remainly sat on the sofa.“You said I was free doing anything in Denver. Besides, I did not come alone, Gavin was with me,” Mia grinned as she heard Jaxon’s voice.“Gavin can’t protect you if anything happens. Not even himself!”“You said Denver is safe place, wasn’t it the reason why you asked me to s
Mia had finished getting dressed and now she was ready to wait Jaxon picking her up at her apartment.That man already sent her a message that he would be arriving soon. As Mia was about to leave the room, her cell phone suddenly rang. There was only one number that definitely called her through her mobile. And it's Matt, her old boss.With a smile showed on her face, Mia gave a greeting, "Oh, hey Matt!""Hey girl, what's up?" replied Matt from across the street."I'm okay, sure. Any good news from Blueberry?”“Yeah, as usual, only drama news, but you know, there's a happy news comes from Ruelle and Alfi. They've just got married. And you know what, John got another woman pregnant again, Dorothy was furious and was about to file for divorce. I advised her to leave that bastard but she didn't listen until the news of John's affair came this time," Matt started to list the good and bad news on Blueberry, most of which were romantic relati
From the VVIP seat Mia was sitting in, she could see the view of Denver from here. Her gaze swept across the fine dining restaurant, but still the feeling of being watched and the curious gazes of all the visitors were so clear that it felt bitter in her mouth as their gazes gave judgment.Mia glanced at Jaxon who seemed oblivious to his surroundings. He occasionally asked her to talk about anything unrelated to her personal life or the Red Cage organization, even more to ask her personal life."Are you on purpose or are you just pretending not to know that people have been watching our table?" Mia finally asked because she was getting fed up with Jaxon's indifferent attitude towards the surroundings.One of the man's eyebrows raised slightly as he shrugged his shoulders."Are you bothered?" Jaxon asked after taking a sip of wine and wiping his mouth with a white napkin."Look around, they haven't stopped staring at us," whispered Mia, leaning slig
Rey watched the two men in front of him staring at each other as if they were about to lunge and make a fuss. He took several deep breaths and massaged his throbbing temples. If Jaxon really accepted the challenge that Gavin gave through his eyes, then he was sure Gavin would quickly hide behind his body and make him a sacrifice for Jaxon."Stop giving him f*ck me eyes, you'll be hurt yourself," Gideon said to Gavin, whose eyes couldn't take his eyes off Jaxon.“He started it,” Gavin said as he inched closer to Rey."You were the one who stirred up the commotion first, don't twist the facts." Nicko pulled Gavin out of the chair and dragged him to join Danny and Connor in a game of pool.After the source of the troublemaker was exiled, then Gideon opened the brown folder he had brought and handed it to Jaxon.“Last night Roxane disappeared from Magnolia. After we collected CCTV footage the last time she was seen with a woman.
Henrieta waited for Mia who had just come out of De La Crush. She ignored the confused look Joe gave her as she approached the honey-haired girl who was about to open the car door."Good afternoon," said Henrieta in front of Mia.Mia turned around, facing Henrieta, while Joe stood alert beside her with his arms crossed."Good afternoon," answered Mia confused because she did not know who the woman was."My name is Henrieta. I am Madam Gia Leonore's personal bodyguard, Mr. Jaxon's grandmother," said Henrieta introducing herself which Mia greeted awkwardly."What are you doing here?" asked Joe, looking at Henrieta suspiciously.Getting an accusing look from Joe made Henrieta laugh softly, she was very familiar with Joe's distrustful look.“Madam Gia asked me to take Miss Mia to her house,” explained Henrieta.Joe was about to take the phone, but Henrieta quickly snatched it from Joe's hand."It's okay, Joe. Jax
An elegant old woman was standing in front of Mia.She made Mia have a sense of deja vu by remembering her recent encounter with this woman at De La Crush."Nice to meet you, Mia. Finally I can bring you into this house and treat you as you should. How stubborn my grandson to hide such a beautiful woman in his private castle,” Gia chirped with a happy face even though she was a little irritated at her grandson, Jaxon.Gia smile widely when she looked at Mia while turning the girl's body three hundred and sixty degrees, so Mia felt dizzy for a moment. She had never been treated this enthusiastically from someone whom she had just met for the first time."I don't live with Jaxon, Ma'am," Mia answered half-dizzy, her body turnaround from side to side.“Ah, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that you often visiting the castle,” said the old woman stated the fact and suddenly she scream with happy voice. “Oh
The visitors at De La Crush were not as busy as this afternoon.Seeing that there was a time to stock up on dry goods, Mia went to the warehouse to help Hadley who was cleaning there."I heard you're very close to Jaxon," Hadley said halfway through the errand they were working on."Our relationship is not like the rumors you heard," Mia explained, she didn't want Hadley to misunderstand. It was enough for her to have many questions about her relationship with Jaxon."I just wanted to ask you to help me buy tickets for the show at the Red Cage," Hadley said shyly.Mia looked at Hadley as if the man asked the moon to come down to earth."Just buy it directly, just come to the Red Cage." Mia didn't want to set foot into the building if Jaxon didn't invite her.Moreover, asking for tickets to the show, Jaxon might just poke a hole in her head with his sharp eyes.Hadley took a deep breath.“It's very diffi
Joe instantly back off when he saw Jaxon rushing into the break room where Mia was laid. He looked at Jaxon nervously when he saw the slap mark on Mia's face that came from his own hand. Before Jaxon got near them, Joe caught the man and looked at him straight in the eye.“Mr. Bradwood, before you hit me, please give me a chance to explain,” Joe begged, trying to control his nervousness.Jaxon's brows furrowed when looking at his subordinates who seemed to be standing uncomfortably and looked so nervous.“Go ahead,” said Jaxon in surprise. He glanced at Mia, but the girl's face was hidden behind Slaine's body.“I wanted to wake Mia out of the hysteria, but I had no choice so I unknowingly slapped her hard. I am really sorry.”Hearing the explanation just now, Jaxon pushed Joe's body and walked quickly towards Mia who was still unconscious. He pulled her face in his palms. Soon, an an
