When Dylan came out of Amethyst's room, his heart was heavy with conflicting emotions. He clenched his fist and couldn't help but feel the pain. He took out his phone and dialed Nathan and Alex's numbers. His fingers were still trembling. He wanted to be happy, but he was still worried.When they answered, he barely managed to get the words out of his mouth. "Meet me at my condo," he said, his voice hoarse. "I have something to tell you guys."When Nathan and Alex heard this, they didn't hesitate to go to Dylan's condo. With what is happening now with Dylan, they really need to observe. Just because they killed everyone who went against Dylan's wishes didn't mean that everything was fine.When Nathan and Alex arrived, they found Dylan at his kitchen counter, a bottle of whiskey in his hand. Dylan looked at them, and they didn't know what to feel. Dylan looked up at them with bloodshot eyes and a haunted look on his face."The fuck? What the hell are you doing right now, Dylan?” Nathan
When the fire was extinguished on the floor where Amethyst's ward was, leaving the smoky ruin, they were sure it was safe. When the firefighters entered, Dylan didn't give up, so they didn't do anything but put on the firefighters' protective gear. They knew it was illegal, but they couldn't do anything because it was Dylan.Even so, when he arrived at the very floor of Amethyst's ward, he was not allowed inside the building because it was still hot. He stood at the edge of the scene; his eyes were red and filled with wild, desperate hope. He knows that there is a good chance that Amethyst is gone, but he is still clinging to the hope that Amethyst will not leave him.It didn't take long; his heart almost dropped when he saw firefighters holding a stretcher with a body wrapped around it."No," Dylan said softly. His whisper made him tremble, and he shook his head violently. "No, it can't be her," he added.When they got down, they couldn't help but ask Dylan's face for meaning. When t
When Dylan brought Nancy and Alice to the front of the headquarters, he immediately returned. As he turned away, the smile he was giving to Amethyst's mother and aunt disappeared. Right now, he is happy because there is a chance that Amethyst is still alive. Now, all he had to do was find it.He will really do his best to find her.Dylan went to the floor with the elders by his side. Those old people are the ones who have always supported his decision. However, if they could do something, he wouldn't hesitate to punish them as well. Punishments are the same at all levels. It's more severe in the higher ranks because they need to be controlled.As Dylan walks the dimly lit corridors of La Xiena Mafia, he can't help but think about the things he should be doing. This is also one of the reasons why he will talk to those old people. To also get their suggestions and ideas.When Dylan was approaching the office room of the old geezers, he knew there was someone there. It was because the so
Now that he knows that Amethyst is still alive, his determination has never wavered, and his hope has raised even more. He never stopped looking for Amethyst. For seven grueling months, he poured a lot of resources and effort into finding Amethyst; even one day, he didn't stop until he got any information about Amethyst's whereabouts.With many sleepless nights and a lot of information coming in, most of it is not true. However, one day, one of his private investigators called him and said that he had the same information. A private investigator said that all the leads he got led him to a small, secluded village far from the city. The private investigator has not yet confirmed if it was true or not, but he wanted Dylan to know about it. Since he's not updating Dylan on everything he had to say, Dylan felt that his words were even more solid than those who reported him with wrong information.When Dylan received the tip from this private investigator about Amethyst's location, he did n
In order for them to talk more properly, Amethyst immediately took Dylan to where he was staying. Amethyst led Dylan down a narrow path to a small, cozy house nestled among the trees. This is the only house that no one lives in, and the owner also lets him live in it because his son is not there to take care of the house. Because the house needs to be taken care of so that it doesn't get damaged immediately.Because it was the afternoon that Dylan arrived, the change in the sky could be seen immediately. The evening sun cast a warm glow over the village, adding a sense of tranquility to the scene. Dylan rarely gets to see it, so as Amethyst leads Dylan to where it's staying, Dylan can't help but be impressed.When they got to the house, Dylan looked at it. The house wasn't old, but it wasn't the kind of house he wanted Amethyst to live in either. For Dylan, all the best must be given to Amethyst. Amethyst deserves all the best; that's why the house that Amethyst lives in now is not pe
Three girls were in the car, and they traveled through the bustling city streets, its occupants brimming with anticipation as they made their way to the headquarters of La Xiena Mafia. That's right, these three girls were part of one of the most respected mafias in their country. However, their identities were hidden. Although they are part of the underworld, they still needed to mingle outside. Thus, no one knew about it. Besides, their mafia has a legal business wherein they buy a mask for them. Amethyst sat between her two friends and fellow members of the upper echelon, Venna and Maureen, her heart fluttering with nervous excitement. How could they not? This is the first time their boss will throw a party for his own birthday. Usually, they will only eat outside, and that's it. However, tonight was not just any celebration; it was Dylan Villarosa's birthday, the man who had captured Amethyst's heart for five long years. The man who had given them an order made them feel respected
After the teasing subsided, Amethyst's heart swelled with hope as Dylan turned his attention towards her. She did not know what to do. What is it that she should do? However, her hopes were dashed as she met his gaze, finding his eyes cold and indifferent, devoid of the warmth she had longed for. It made her feel like she was showering in cold water. It was like a wake-up call for her. A sharp pang of hurt pierced through her chest, leaving her feeling as though a weight had settled in the pit of her stomach.What is it? Why is he looking at her with his cold eyes? Was it wrong to fall in love with him? However, she refuses to give up.She doesn't want to. Not until he told her so."Thank you." Dylan's voice cut through the silence, the words devoid of any warmth or sincerity. It was as if he were merely going through the motions, his tone icy and detached.Everyone was used to hearing Dylan with his voice void of emotion. However, they still felt a little shock since they knew that
As the tension in the room reached its peak, everyone stood frozen in shock, lost for words in the wake of Dylan and Maureen's confrontation. The women in their group aren't fond of talking back, but this time they talk back to their boss, who is new to them. The once-vibrant atmosphere had turned somber, weighed down by the heaviness of the emotions swirling in the air.Well, they knew that this wasn't the women's fault but their boss. So, they could only scold their boss in their hearts.Amethyst felt the weight of everyone's stares bearing down on her, their silent scrutiny like a heavy burden on her shoulders. She doesn't want this to continue. She doesn't want to ruin Dylan's day just because of her. Despite the pain that gnawed at her heart, despite the disappointment, she knew she couldn't let it show. It will only make them feel like she's weak. With a forced smile plastered on her lips, she squared her shoulders and took a deep breath, willing herself to appear unaffected by
