A Promise They Kept
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The sun was rising at the horizon, slowly illuminating the world which slept. A large mansion overlooking the sea was located on top of the hill. It was surrounded by vast greenery and an electrical fence encircled it. Stretching across several acres, the mansion gloriously stood at its spot like the palace of a king. Its white walls shone under the dim rays of the rising sun and an impressive European style architecture made it a unique home to the ones living inside it.

Lucas sat on the couch right opposite to Jason. They were trying to play it cool but their disdain for one another was plain. Jason loathed Lucas’ perfectionist attitude which made him more like a male diva than a brand ambassador. Lucas, on the other hand, despised Jason for his natural talents and tendency to breeze through everything whereas other people had to work hard for it.“We need you to model for our showcase in front of Oskar Jung,” Jason said curtly. “Our designers will be creating the outfit. If you’re the model, Oskar Jung will be able to judge our designs and come on board for the fashion show next month.”“You want to use my fame to show off in front of Oskar Jung?” Lucas asked, raising an eyebrow. “I thought you wanted to show off your talents without using my st

Jason and Cain sped towards the factory. Cain was on the phone with his men, giving them instructions.“My men just informed me that Heath Seo was spotted outside that factory we’re heading to,” Cain told him. “How did you know he’d be there?”“I just do,” Jason muttered.

Jason was sure that it was a warning sign and that Alya was in immense danger. Flashes of her running through the rain were popping in his head.“Why is she outside?” he whispered.

He was quiet for a while before turning to face her.“You should have told me about this,” he began. “That my mom was threatening you.
