“Hello.”

Ashley’s cold voice made Jaxon pause for a split second. He frowned. A trace of displeasure flickered in him and he did not know why.

“Where are you?”

“I did not know that I have to give my itinerary to Mr. Elijah. You didn’t give me one before.” Sarcasm dripped in Ashley’s voice…then her next words were laced with impatience. “So, why did you call me?”

Jaxon had the illusion that their roles were now reversed! His face dimmed immediately as his grip on his tightened, not liking this feeling of being uncontrolled.

“The lawyer is drafting the divorce letter. About the alimony, my offer still stands—a real estate in your name and a hundred million dolla---.”

Ashley cut him off midway. “If you want to discuss about the divorce, call my lawyer. If nothing else, I will have to continue filming.”

Before Ashley could hang up, Jaxon immediately stated his reason why he called. “I want to remind you of my old man’s birthday. Don’t miss it.”

    Ashley accepted the packed lunch distributed by the crew. After three weeks in the set, she and Dylan were already used to eat the packed lunches.Some days, the packed lunch would contain meat and carbohydrates. These were the times when Director Sloan was satisfied with the progress of the morning shooting. But when he was not, the packed lunch would only have some vegan dishes and carbohydrates…nothing more.This strategy of the director was indeed effective. Even Atasha dared not to be a demon, hence, the progress of the filming was astounding. If they would keep up in this pace, the shooting of the moving would end before two months.Maybe, they could review and edit the film before the Nobel Awards this December and the movie Unmasked could participate in it. Ashley also felt that Director Sloan was after the Nobel Awards. After all, this award ceremony was a good exposure for the film.“What will it be this time?” asked Dylan. There was fear and anticipation intertwined in his

    The process of taking Scottie went smoothly than she expected. For one moment, she was already gearing up to a showdown against her nominal husband, but it did not happen.Nanny Doris merely gave Scottie and Ashley a box, saying it was for them to eat. When they were waiting for their flight in the airport lounge, Ashley curiously opened it.The box contained burrito and sandwich—enough for the two of them. Ashley smiled yet the smile did not reflect in her eyes.Thinking about the people of the mansion, sometimes, Ashley could not help but ponder about the complexity of human nature. She had lived to the point wherein she did not believe in romantic feelings anymore.Now, Ashley knew that only when she became powerful would she have the right to speak and to fight for her rights. The world was unfair. Although laws kept the social norm, the fact about the strong trampled the weak was true.In front of the behemoth like the Elijah Consortium, she was like an ant right now.

    The entire morning proceeded like nothing happened. Ashley still filmed smoothly without retake. If there were changes in it, it would be the additional presence of a small dumpling shuttling across the set like a fish in the sea.Right after the lunch, Ashley took one last scene before she accompanied Scottie to take a nap. She did not forget to set her alarm to 2:25 PM.The sound of the alarm woke up Ashley’s light sleep. Looking back at her son, seeing him sleep soundly, she let her wavy hair slid behind her back—messy and sexy. Before she went out, she made sure to use her just bought hot red lipstick.Instead of coffee, Ashley opened the specially prepared Laffite 1980 which she took secretly from Jaxon’s wine cellar before. Never thought that she would use this today to celebrate something evil.As someone who had walked straight out of hell, Ashley was no saint. Instead, she was no hypocrite. And she would do anything to pave a way for her son.And today, she would witness such

    “We’ve been filming for two months. Thanked goodness ‘Youth 1990’ pushed forward the taping schedule or else, we’re done.” Dylan used his usual exaggerated tone as he slumped next to Ashley who was busy packing her things.“You better wash up. You stink.” Ashley was the first one to excuse herself in the film’s celebration party. As someone who had seen too many dark shits in the industry, drinking was a ticket to tabloids.With this in mind, Ashley decided to symbolically toast with the crew, ate her dinner, and faked an illness which worked perfectly fine. This time, she was in a hurry to pack her things because tomorrow was the day that she would start the first step of the many ones in building an empire of her own—Rosemary Jewelry Store’s grand opening.The trademark of the brand was finally registered along with the corporation name which was still Rosemary. Rosemary Jewelry Store was the first company of the many she was planning to establish. Ashley knew what industries would

    After many years of being the CEO of Elijah Consortium, even when the time when he first became one and many questioned him, this was the first time that Jaxon Elijah was stumped by a question. And the person who left him speechless was his son who could barely reach his waist.“Who told you that?” Jaxon immediately thought of the child’s mother. “Did your mother talk nonsense again?”Scottie’s innocent eyes blinked and still stared straight at Jaxon’s eyes. “I called Mom because…because…I’m sad. Daddy leaves Scottie alone again. I called Mom. Scottie always saw that sick auntie with Daddy…always with Daddy.” He paused as if he hesitated for a moment before he continued. This time, Scottie’s eyes were slightly red. “Daddy, my friend said that his Daddy and Mommy are filing for divorce because of another auntie. Am I…am I going to be like my friend?”Jaxon finally stood up. He closed the meager amount of distance between him and his son. It only took him three steps, but at this moment

    Losing control was the worst outcome for someone who held control as the Holy Grail.Growing up, Jaxon was groomed to be the heir of the giant enterprise called Elijah Consortium. He was taught that there was no room for any mistakes or it would make the huge business empire to crumble—a great sin for the ancestors of his family.To do that, control was the key to eliminate any mistakes. If he eliminated variables, focused on taking ten steps more advance than the others, he needed to control everything around him.His friends were all on the basis of interests.

    The stone cutter master picked up the wool that Ashley pushed. This was the apple-sized wool that Ashley first discovered which was surrounded by thick white smoke to the point that it was barely visible for him when using the Jade Eyes.“How to cut it?” asked the stone cutter master. With the way he moved, it was shown that he was an expert in this field.Seeing that there were at most ten wools in her cart, the people who were still leisurely choosing and observing the wools had become interested and crowded the stone cutting area. This place was located at the innermost part of the store but it was only a few steps away from the display area of the wools.Ashley did not mind the crowd. In her eyes, they were all his money bags. Instead, she focused on the apple-sized wool. With the use of her lucky physique, she was able to determine how to solve the wool without damaging the jadeite inside it.“Grind it.”The sound of the tool used for grinding wools resounded.

    “Scottie?” Ashley murmured incredulously under her breath. She looked away from the lens for a minute, took a deep breath, and looked into it again—only to see her son clinging for whatever reason to that huge man in black mask.Nexus, who was back and who was holding his binoculars, could not help but frown as well. “Hold on.” He called Wolf in which the latter immediately answered. “What’s going on?”Wolf, who successfully went out of the Cadillac without being noticed by the men in the SUV, was now hiding in a blind angle. He was crouching and looking over what was happening near the kid. Of course, he had seen Scottie’s reaction. But compared to Ashley and Nexus, he had a better view. He saw the look of reluctance in the child’s face.This was something that Wolf first noticed after seeing Scottie clinging to the big masked man’s neck as if he did not

    Jaxon never felt this way ever since he was young.Standing twenty meters away from the SUV, he did not wear any bulletproof vests or helmets in which his bodyguards were against to begin with yet they could not do anything about it.

From green to red then from orange to red, everyone was put to a halt as if the city became still as water.Curses from all the people stuck in the traffic intertwined with the symphony of car honks. The sirens from the local police started to spread like wild fire across the city.
