Harrison's POV"How do you know about my father?"With a stern face, I approached Elizabeth step by step, questioning her.Elizabeth tilted her face up, staring into my eyes. "Do you want to know the answer?"Before I could respond, suddenly, she grinned, her eyes filled with contempt and mockery. She yelled at me, "Suck my ass then! The great Dominator! You..."As I noticed the vile smile on Elizabeth's face, I immediately reached out, grabbing her throat and silencing the insults she hadn't yet uttered."Don't try to challenge my patience in this way, Elizabeth."I brought my face close to hers, allowing this crazed woman to witness the burning anger in my eyes."I'm not Peter; I don't crave information about you and your sewer rat. So, if you provoke me—especially when you've already done so—be careful. I will kill you."Even Peter, standing by my side, became tense because of my actions."Harrison!"Feeling the genuine intent to kill emanating from me, Peter shouted my name, seemi
Harrison's POVAs if to prove the authenticity of the report to Peter, the moment his words fell, a sudden and intense explosion echoed from outside. Even in the underground basement, we could feel a significant shock.Dust rained down from the ceiling, creating a swirling cloud of smoke.I immediately covered my nose and mouth with my clothing, while an enraged Peter grabbed the collar of the man who had delivered the message, demanding, "What the hell is happening outside?!""The patrolling warriors found the bodies of several sentries at the perimeter of the estate! Their bodies were still warm, so we realized someone had broken in. The team leader immediately called me in to report to you... just now, it's possible that they started attacking us!""Damn it!"Peter abruptly released the man, frustratedly pacing in circles before issuing orders."Take that woman with us. We're leaving this place!""Yes!"Upon receiving the order, the subordinates quickly untied Elizabeth and, despit
Nathan's POV"Hey, mongrel, how's your marksmanship?" As I found a good vantage point, wiping my sniper rifle, a cheeky male voice came from behind.My hands paused for a moment, without turning around, I calmly responded, "Accurate enough to shoot down those who have no idea how to write the word 'respect.'""Ohhh—" With my counterattack, the crowd behind me erupted into cheers. "Looks like our little mixed-blood has some character! Sebastian, are you scared?!""Me? As a legitimate member of The Blue Blood Pack, I don't even know how to spell the word 'fear' in my entire life!" Sure enough, Sebastian immediately raised his fighting spirit. He strode over to me, kicking away my sniper rifle."Why bother doing the servant's job of cleaning guns?! All I know is you're a mongrel, but I didn't expect you to be a cowardly one! What? You want to fight me now?! Huh?!" Sebastian noticed my clenched fists, crouched down with interest, and continued to provoke me."I won't fight you, Sebastian.
Nathan's POV"Alright, now do as I said!" As my words were uttered, the surrounding crowd immediately dispersed like a tidal wave.I, accompanied by a few warriors, located cover closest to the entrance of the estate, concealing ourselves."Now, what should we do, Targary?"The young warrior beside me seemed inexperienced in combat, and I could even sense a hint of panic on his green face."Wait for me here. I'll go take care of those patrolling guards.""But you're alone..."The young warrior seemed uneasy, but I didn't have time to explain. I rushed toward the patrolling guards who hadn't realized the danger yet."Watch out, someone's coming!"At the moment the dagger pierced the guard's neck, I silenced his remaining warning in his throat.I threw the lifeless body aside and decided to take a look at the situation inside the entrance, which wasn't far from me."Look out!"However, at that moment, a voice from behind me shouted. I turned around to see the young warrior pointing a gu
Harrison's POVAs the gunshots echoed not far away, my instincts told me that it must be related to that crazy woman, Elizabeth.Initially, I wanted to be a bystander, but the regret of not clarifying the connection between Targary and The Blue Blood Pack gnawed at me. With a sense of urgency, I turned in the direction of gunfire."Damn it! That woman can't die yet!"Little did I know that in this forest, I wasn't the only one with that thought. Peter, who was fleeing in a different direction from me, also heard the gunshot.Besides him, the members of The Blue Blood Pack, tasked with rescuing Elizabeth, were on the move as well.From the perspective of the Moon Goddess, Peter, Sebastian, and his teammates, along with me, were swiftly converging on the location where Elizabeth had fallen.Meanwhile, Nathan Barnes, the instigator of all this, stood frozen next to the corpse, immersed in prolonged silence.When I finally reached the spot where the gunshot had rung out, I saw a man in ca
Kayla's POV"What?! Say that again?!!" Although my vision was gradually recovering, everything before me was still blurry. So, when I heard the dreadful news from Amber, I nearly rolled off the bed as I abruptly sat up."You just said, Harrison, what happened to Harrison?""Don't get too worked up, Kayla."Amber anxiously pushed me back onto the bed, "If Harrison sees you like this, he'll only worry more about you!""I don't care!!" I pushed away Amber's hand, struggling as if mad, trying to leave the room immediately."I want to see Harrison! Let me see him!! Ah—" In my excitement, I didn't notice a small stool at my feet and tripped, falling to the floor."Careful! Kayla!!" Amber hurried over, reaching out to help me up. However, she didn't realize that, facing her as she crouched down in front of me, I, tormented in both body and mind, had already reached the brink of collapse.So, I grabbed her arm, directly diving into her embrace, bursting into tears."Kayla, I know how painful
Kayla's POVSoon after getting the doctor's permission, I was finally able to visit Harrison in his hospital room."Harrison..."As I walked to the door of the room, even though all I could see was a blurry figure, the thought of Harrison lying so quietly on the hospital bed made tears almost uncontrollably stream down my face."You've been standing at the door for so long. Were you waiting for me to come and greet you?"Harrison's light tone immediately eased the atmosphere. However, it couldn't stop my tears and sorrow. For this reason, he didn't hesitate to make a joke with me."I'm sorry, my dear. I can't get out of bed right now, so I'll have to let you take the initiative to jump into my arms.""Oh, Harrison!"I shrugged off the hand of the nurse who was helping me and ran in the direction of his voice without any regard.At this moment, even if there was an abyss between Harrison and me, I would leap forward without hesitation for this man."Don't cry for me, Kayla."Harrison c
Kayla's POV"I think we can get back to the original topic now."As Harrison's hand traveled down my shoulder, I slipped out of his embrace and pushed away from his chest."Fine."Though Harrison's movements came to a halt, I could sense the undercurrent of dissatisfaction in his tone. He released me, straightened his clothes that he had disheveled, and sat down by the edge of his bed, supporting himself with one hand."What do you want to tell me, Kayla?""It's about The Blue Blood Pack..."Thinking about this group that had almost become adversaries with Amber and Harrison, I silently apologized to Nathan before continuing."Actually, among the known members of The Blue Blood Pack, besides Elizabeth, there's another person—""Nathan Barnes."Harrison cut in before I could finish, answering casually, "Am I right?"I widened my eyes in surprise. "How did you know?!""I had this suspicion from the beginning."Harrison turned his head, seemingly giving me a glance. "After all, every tim
Ely's eyes widened in disbelief when Daisy told Ely about Pearl's blind date.Daisy put her hands on her hips and shouted, "go and get her back quickly. I want her to be my sister-in-law. She can't marry anyone else."Ely had no idea why Pearl would go on a blind date.Last week, they were sleeping together.Pearl had refused to see him for some reason this week, but he thought she just needed time to come to terms with the change. He thought he had Pearl, but Pearl was seeing other men.He couldn't accept it. He had to ask for an answer.He grabbed the car keys off the table and ran out.Daisy put her hand to her mouth in the shape of a trumpet and shouted at his back, "Come On!"……Pearl was sitting in a quiet corner of the cafe, listening to the introduction of the young man sitting across from her.This man is an ideal husband. His father is a senior manager at a consulting firm in Seattle, and his mother is a doctor. He is a warm, handsome, gentle Stanford graduate who is now the
"Please go back. My sister doesn't want to see you." Eva's tone was a bit harsh, and she stood at the door, blocking Ely's entry."Eva, please let me in. I have something to say to Pearl," Ely implored Eva. He's obviously not sleeping well, and he's got a little stubble on his chin.Eva, always soft and gentle, looked at Ely, who had taken care of her since childhood, and said angrily, "Don't come looking for my sister! I've never seen her so sad. She's been locked in her room for three days!"Hearing the news, Ely became even more worried. "I was wrong. I want to apologize to her."Ely steps forward, trying to get into the house, but Eva refuses to step aside. "I would never let you in today."Eva turned and ran into the house, locking the door behind her.Ely stood there, looking up at the window in Pearl's room.Her room was dark.What's she doing? Is she crying?Ely tries to break in again, but Ulric calls out behind him, "You're not seeing her today. Please go home."Ely turned.
15 years later,"Have you thought about it?" Ely raised his eyes and asked with a gentle smile. "would you like to bet with me?""Why not? We've been betting all my life, and I hardly ever lose." Pearl sneered at him contemptuously. "But I'll up the ante: If I win, you give me your medical project."Ely remained calm. "Pearl, I don't remember you being interested in a medical project.""Nonsense! Just say whether you bet or not!""I'll bet," Ely laughed. " But I'm going to raise the stakes too.""Say it!""How about a night with me?" Ely, the new Evans CEO, changed his gentle smile, leaned over, and whispered in her ear, "If you lose, sleep with me."Pearl wanted to scratch his face with the fork she was holding. But his face attracted many women in the city crazy, she did not dare to hurt him, only glare at him.Ely smiled with pleasure and waited patiently for her answer."OK," Pearl said, gritting her teeth.She's gonna win.……Pearl came back to the company.After dealing with a f
Pearl was so happy after Gwen gave birth to the twins that she shared the good news with all her friends at school.Every day after school, she would rush out of class, get in her car, put on her seat belt, and say to the driver, "I'm going home to look after my mommy and Carl and Ava."Carl and Eva are the names Pearl gave the newborn babies. She picked them out at the first glance of Ulric's long list of names."Carl, Eva. I like those two names." Pearl doesn't like complicated names."Okay," Ulric touched her head. "You're the big sister now. This is your first successful task: name your little brother and sister."Pearl looked up with pride. She wanted to be a big sister. It would give her a sense of accomplishment.Eva is an introverted, quiet girl. She became Pearl's little tail when she could walk, smiled shyly at Pearl's words, and seldom cried.Pearl was very fond of Eva. She often kissed Eva. "Oh, Eva, you're as cute as a Daddy Doll. I don't want you to grow up. I want you t
After learning that Gwen had fainted, Ulric immediately suspended a meeting with a wealthy Middle Eastern businessman and rushed out of the conference room."Sorry, my wife is in the hospital now."An hour later, Ulric appeared at the door of the hospital room, panting.Gwen has always been a healthy and energetic person, and she rarely fell ill. For as long as Ulric could remember, Gwen only had stomach pains when she ate erratically, but since her stomach had recovered a lot under his care, Ulric couldn't understand why she fainted.Is she sick? And he was such a careless husband that he didn't even notice it."Gwen!" Ulric yelled as he pushed open the door.But there was no one in the room, just Gwen's Hermès bag on the sofa.Ulric's mind was more disturbed, and he wanted to see her now, to make sure she was all right.“There you are.” Gwen's voice rang behind him."Oh, honey, are you okay?" Ulric held her shoulders nervously, his eyes wandering over her body.Gwen looked no differ
Zora is not the only one who is preparing for pregnancy, but also Gwen.Pearl is now 4 years old. She has been a lively and outgoing girl since she was a child and likes to make friends. As long as she plays with her friends, she is willing to share all her toys and likes to kiss her friends.Gwen didn't understand her daughter's behavior. She asked Pearl, "Honey, why did you kiss them?""Because I love them. Daddy loves Mommy, so you kiss every day. I love my friends, and I want to kiss them," said Pearl happily."Well... Pearl, there's a difference between a kiss between me and Your Daddy," said Gwen, holding her forehead."Why?" Pearl looked at her with big, innocent eyes.Gwen was speechless. She didn't know how to explain it to Pearl. Come on, Pearl's just a kid. A kiss between kids is a sign of friendship. She doesn't have to be nervous."You can kiss your friends, but you have to get permission first. If a strange person kisses you, you have to say NO, okay?""Yes, Mommy." Pear
Three years later.Cecil is unhappy these days because he learns from his assistant that there is a man who likes to appear in front of Zora lately.Although Zora and he had gotten married 3 months ago. He had already put a diamond ring on her finger, but he was still nervous whenever a man peeked at Zora.He picked up the information his assistant had gathered about the man and flipped through it carefully.Huh! He remembers this boy called Claude. Four years ago, when Zora first moved to Los Angeles, he asked Zora to watch a game with him. Although he showed up just in time to bring Zora's attention back to him, he still remembered the threat this man brought to him.A sunny, handsome, athletic football quarterback.Both he and Zora have graduated. Zora is now an independent curator, and Claude is a professional football player.Zora had already forgotten about him, but last week his team made a deal with Zora's studio, so the guy named Claude started coming around to Zora under var
Liam sat on the couch, browsing through the report his assistant had sent him before turning off his phone and leaning back on the couch, with his eyes closed.He had to admit that he was getting older. When he was younger, he could lead an army for three days in the desert or rainforest without feeling sleepy, but now his energy was getting worse. After some travel today, he now feels tired.Since the surgery, his body has become weaker. But as special forces general, he would rather die in battle than become an old man who is taken care of.Getting old is a cruel thing for a general.Liam coughed a few times and he pulled out his pocket watch. It was time to take his medicine.He took out a bottle with medicine, read the label the doctor put on it carefully, and then took a few pills.It was in this quiet room that Liam let go of his pride and showed a sense of loneliness and weakness.There was a knock at the door. The sound starts with some urgency, then becomes regular.Liam stra
Ulric's uncle, Liam Rockefeller, came to Los Angeles alone, and he didn't tell Ulric ahead of time.Last year, to defeat Richard, Ulric called him to find help.Even though they hadn't spoken in years, Liam recognized the phone number at first glance. He pressed the answer button, "Hello?""Uncle, this is Ulric," Ulric spoke a little hesitantly, not as decisively as he usually did."I know, is there anything I can do to help?" Liam changed his old authoritarian and angry voice to a gentle one. He knew Ulric must be in a difficult situation, otherwise, he wouldn't have called him, especially since he was so proud."I have a good friend, you know, Vince, who has been in trouble lately," Ulric said.Ulric and Vince grew up together in New York, and Liam knew Vince and liked him a lot."Oh, that guy, what's wrong?" Liam frowned. If there was one thing that Ulric and Vince couldn't solve, it had to be tricky. Oh, God, he hoped the two lads wouldn't suffer.Ulric had told his uncle what hap
