Lexus's temper was unbearable again. He sat leaning back in his proud chair, looking into the faces of the 9 board members, who sat with him. Three of them are deputy president directors and 6 others are special directors in charge of each department in the company. No one escaped the sharp and savage look in Lexus's eagle eyes. Tuck! Tuck! Tuck! Lexus's index finger can be heard tapping the table at a slow tempo. Of course, the sound makes the situation even more horror for those, who have a wrong in Lexus's eyes. “Do you guys know?”Lexus opened his mouth again. In his hand, there is an advanced smartphone made in America. He was reading the message sent by Bastian. “I'm the largest shareholder of this company. I studied business in Russia. I returned to the UK as CEO, replacing the previous CEO, who was handicapped in working at Grandpa's behest.”Lexus spoke while staring at the screen of his smartphone. Occasionally, he squinted both eyes and frowned while shaking his head.
Lexus fell silent. He didn't respond to Oscar's remarks at all. He visibly lost interest in talking to her. “Young Master!”Seth called his master. Lexus also nodded as a sign. “Seth, you know what to do, right?”Lexus sat staggeringly in his seat. He crossed one leg, looking at the faces of the other board of directors who were staring at Oscar. Everyone knows, Oscar has made such a fatal mistake that made Lexus angry. They heard rumors about Oscar. However, what did Oscar do wrong? Everyone needs clarity. “Yes, Young Master.”Seth looked at Oscar. He pushed Oscar's back until the thin man's face touched Lexus' shoes. “Plead properly!” exclaimed Seth. He's a sidekick. Without wasted any more time, Oscar immediately did whatever was said by Seth. “Young Master, please forgive me!”Oscar kissed Lexus's shiny, and expensive shoes. “Why should I forgive you?!”The tone of emphasis that came out of Lexus's mouth was so obvious. Everyone was downcast. “Young Master, I'm the only on
The atmosphere fell silent as soon as the policemen took Oscar away from the meeting room. Lexus sat in his place with Seth standing next to him. “Morgan, who are the ones who came to the police station?”Seth asked one of the company's teams of lawyers on behalf of his master. “Mr. Gerald and Mr. Michael. Meanwhile, I and Mr. Zidane remain here,” explained the man named Morgan. Lexus nodded. He looked at Morgan and asked, “Did you bring the documents?”“Of course yes, Young Master.” Morgan replied quickly. Morgan took out some prepared documents and then distributed them to the board of directors. “What document is this?”Someone asked when Morgan provided him a document. “Chris, just open it!” exclaimed the woman next to him. “You as one of the deputy Managing Directors don't talk much, or we'll all be in trouble like Oscar!”“I know, Agatha. I'm not gonna act like Oscar.” Chris retorted quietly. Lexus held back a laugh. Although the woman said quietly, Lexus could still hear
Stella was anxious about her grandmother. She knew Odolf's disposition. Stella was surprised when she listened to Odolf's laughter which seemed to mock her. “Ha! Ha! Ha!” 'Did Dad think, I'm joking? I know, Dad will definitely always use Grandma to suppress me. I also knew that Dad would certainly do whatever it took to achieve his goal. My life is under the control of Dad and Steffy!' Stella thought of her father and sister. She leaned back as she licked her forehead, which felt throbbing.“If you don't want anything to happen to Hellen, then follow my orders! Do you get it?!” “Dad, Grandma Hellen is your Mother. How can you do this cruel thing?” Stella tried to give Odolf understanding. She tried to win Odolf's heart. However, will it work? “That was back then, precisely when the Drechsler family was still wealthy in Germany. You know what happened after Eginhardt passed away, don't you?” Stella's mind recalled where she lived a luxurious life when she was still settled in Ber
Because You're doing everything so rightーLexus Rodriguez. *** “I can't stay still. I've to do something for Stella.” Lexus fell into deep thought when he just arrived at the mansion. A guard opened the entrance. “Good afternoon, Young Master,” greeted the guard. Lexus did not reply to him. He walked hurriedly towards the stairs that would take him upstairs, where his sleeping room was.“Good afternoon, Young Master. You come back sooner.”Ella greeted her master. She ran around from the direction of the dining room. Tuck! Tuck! Tuck! “Where's my Wife, Ella?!”'Why does Young Master look angry?' Ella said. She saw a look of worry appear on Lexus's face. “Miss Steffy is in the room, Young Master.” Ella replied. She was forced to put on a smile to trick Lexus. She doesn't want Lexus to know that she didn't like Stella. “Is this all day, she hasn't come out of the room?”Lexus was curious. He wanted to hear Ella's answer immediately. “Of course, yes, Young Master. I had thought M
Stella turned her body as Lexus wished. She was puzzled. She didn't understand, why Lexus checked her body.“What are you really doing? Why are you checking my body?”Stella plucked up the courage to ask. She looked at Lexus, who was kneeling, examining part of her leg.“I just wanna make sure that there're no injuries all over your body. Is it wrong for a husband to do it?”'Husband? Didn't I hear it wrong? Does he refer to himself as husband? My husband? Or, Steffy's husband?'Stella was momentarily overcome with a feeling of hesitation. She would rather not take a headache. She would rather not be disappointed because, in reality, she was just a surrogate bride.“Let's go in and have dinner!”***Early in the morning, Lexus woke up. He spent the night in the living room since he first married Stella. He hurried back to his bedroom.“Sleeping alone really makes me uncomfortable! I can't be like this all the time!”Lexus opened his bedroom door. He walked overlooking at Stella, who w
“Ugh!”Stella sighed. She opened and closed both eyes repeatedly. She remembered something.“Gosh!”Stella woke up. She sat up with her arms around her knees.“Where is he?”Stella turned her head to her right and left. She looked around for a Lexus, who was out of nowhere.“Ugh! As usual, he left after finishing his morning passion with me ....”Stella was taken aback when the tone of her mobile phone sounded.Beep! Beep! Beep!Stella got out of her bed naked. She immediately covered her body with a quilt.“Oh, where's my phone?”Stella saw her phone lying on the table. She grabbed it.“Oh? Dad? What else is He gonna tell me this time?”Stella saw one name that had been contacting her frequently lately. Yes, who else if not Odolf Drechsler?“Shouldn't Daddy protect and make his daughter happy? However, why does the word happy seem to be far from my life?”Stella was furious when she read the contents of a message from Odolf asking her not to be late to see her at the designated resta
Stella was nervous when Odolf asked her for the money. She was confused. She searched for kind words to answer his father's question. “Stella, where's the money dad asked for? Don't say you didn't bring it! Huh?!” A question sentence with an emphasized tone came out of Odolf's mouth. Of course, it made Stella depressed. 'What shall I answer? What should I say to Dad? Dad would be furious if he guessed right! I wanna run and hide from this reality!’ Is running away from reality the right thing? Will avoiding the problem make Stella free from the fear and pressure given by Odolfーher father? 'What if after this I run and hide from the Lexus? However, can I leave him when Bastian is near me? And, where should I go? Where should I hide, so that Lexus can't find me?' Stella was thinking too much. She was so down to her current position. What about her status as the wife of Lexus? Would it be easy for her to get away from Lexus's grip if Bastian was always by her side? “Stella? Why are
"Lexus, I didn't expect that you were someone who threw my family in jail! Why are you doing that, Lexus?! Hmm?!"When she arrived at the hotel room, Stella immediately asked about Lexus' purpose in throwing Odolf and Steffy into prison. "Didn't you forgive 'em?! Then, why did you do it?!"Stella sat on the sofa in the living room of the presidential suite, the most luxurious suite of the Rodriguez Hotel and Casino. Branch hotel in Berlin with a view of skyscrapers. Stella looked angry and unhappy at Lexus' actions. Getting such consecutive questions made Lexus reluctant to answer them. "Lexus, please answer me!" shouted Stella. Sergei looked at the couple with his head. He didn't dare to say anything. "Miss Stella, you'd better rest now! Because in a while, the doctor will come to check the gynecology."Stella didn't respond to anything. She was speechless with the world of gloomy faces. She leaned back while looking at Lexus, who was busy with his smartphone."Miss, please have
"Stella, isn't there a trace of your love for me?"William interrupted the conversation between Lexus and Stella. He looks so pitiful. "Oh, why are you still hoping for something impossible, William?!" asked Lexus in a high tone. After all, Lexus was so jealous of William. "Will, I will never be able to accept your love," Stella said bluntly. "I'm not going to leave Lexus because I love him so much.""Mr. William, are you not willing for the woman you love to achieve her happiness even if she's not with you?" asked Sergei. "Be heartened!"Sergei patted William on the back when the man stood up. "Have you made up your mind?" asked Seth. He hoped that William would not do anything unexpected. "Yes, I cherished Stella a long time ago. I will let her go for her sake as well as for the sake of the Johnson family."William looked at Stella lovingly. His chest felt tight. However, he still tried to calm down. 'Yes, I can't be selfish. If I fight Lexus, not only will I be in prison, but
Everyone stared at Lexus, who had just finished speaking, scolding William. His remarks really made William angry and hurt."Jerome, call the police here to arrest all these foreigners!"William called a bodyguard. He pointed to Lexus and his two confidants. "Okay, Mr. William," said the bodyguard. The man with a strand of hair took out a mobile phone from his trouser pocket. Then, walked away from William. "Audrey, prepare everything! I can't wait to see this honorable Young Master Lexus go to jail along with his 2 loyal men!"After exclaiming passionately, William looked at Lexus, who was sitting leisurely raising his left foot. "Yes, Mr. William," Audrey replied. William was astonished by Lexus' calm demeanor. He asked silently, 'Why isn't he affected at all by my threat?!' "I'm really lucky to know you, Mr. William Johnson," Lexus said flatly. "I also thank you because I didn't have to bother contacting the police."Audrey whispered in William's ear, "What does Young Master
"Where is my Wife?!"Lexus asked when the door to Stella's apartment opened. He confronted Amanda. "I'm so sorry, Sir. Who are you?" Amanda asked very politely. Apparently Amanda didn't recognize Lexus' face. "I ask you once again, where is my wife?!"At this time, Lexus raised his tone. Amanda was naturally surprised. She took a few steps back while holding her heart. "Young Master, please calm down! You can attract a lot of people's attention if it's like this," Seth reminded his master. Just now Seth covered his mouth, Lexus pushed the door wide open. He walked in without feeling guilty. "Excuse me, Sir, you can't enter without Mr. William's permission!"Amanda shouted as she kept holding her heart. She walked directly behind the Lexus. "Amanda, what's the matter? Who came? Why are you so fussed?"A gentle female voice. Yes, the sound managed to slow down the heartbeat of Lexus. "Miss, there is a guest, who came by shouting. However, when I ...."Amanda was speechless. She
10:00 a.m. in Kazan, Russia. Seth was sipping coffee alone in the living room of the hotel room of the president suite. This morning, Seth was tidy up because he was going to attend an online meeting of the Rodriguez Holdings Company. Before the meeting starts an hour, Seth spends a lot of time on his social media accounts to find out the latest news about Stella's search. "Oh, what is this?!"When Seth opened his social media account, he was shocked by a recent morning news. Both eyes focused on the handsome man in a black suit, who was smiling at the camera. "Hello, good morning world!"Seth saw a female reporter say hello on his social media live. He put the coffee cup on the table. "I was in the ballroom of a luxury hotel in Berlin, Germany. At 9:00 this morning German time, a British male supermodel will announce his engagement live."The reporter smiled. Seth was even more curious about it. He sat tensely waiting for the reporter to forward his report. "Yes, that handsome gu
William came over with his arrogant attitude. He opened the door of Stella's room carefully. Tuck! Tuck! Tuck!William walked towards the bed. With the dim lighting, he vaguely saw the figure of a woman fast asleep. "Welcome home, Mr. William!"Amanda stood on William's left side. She exclaimed in greeting her master, who had just come. "How long has Stella been asleep? Has she eaten dinner?"Amanda glanced at the watch on her right wrist. "Miss Stella has been asleep for 60 minutes, Sir. And, Miss has eaten dinner before going to bed."William did the same. He glanced at the elegant limited edition watch wrapped around his right wrist. "It's 8:00 p.m. Berlin time. And, what time did she have dinner, Manda?"William turned his head to the left side. He saw Amanda looking at him. "Before dusk, Miss Stella had already eaten dinner. She asked me to advance the dinner hour because Miss's hunger wanted to be satisfied immediately"William frowned. He replied to Amanda, "Then go to the
Lexus went live streaming for 30 minutes on one of its social media accounts. He explained the history of Soyembika Tower as well as the purpose of visiting Kazan, Russia. "Thank you for joining to watch my Video. Lastly, I will say a sentence of longing and love for my Wife ...."Everyone around Lexus was moved. The women can be seen rubbing their cheeks wet with tears. Lexus lowered his head for a few moments. Then, he looked up his face. He said, "I miss you, Stella, and almost went crazy about it. I love you to the moon and back." Lexus closed out an impromptu live streaming event this time.***"Gosh!"A woman yelled, which made Stella startled. Stella woke up with a sweat pouring out. She turned to look at Amanda, who was sitting in the corner of Stella's bedroom. "Amanda, what's the matter?"Stella got off the bed. She walked up to Amanda. "Are you okay, Amanda?"Amanda was staring at the screen of her smartphone. Stella was curious about what she made. "Did you quarrel wi
The distance from Moscow to Kazan is approximately 719 kilometers. Lexus private jet plane landed about 2 hours ago. The cold air felt by him did not hinder his visit to Kazan. "Young Master, please drink your coffee!" Seth came over with coffee. Now, they're in a coffee shop right on Bauman Street. "Where is Doctor Sergei? I haven't seen him since just now." Seth sat opposite Lexus. "I'm here, Seth. I just got out of the toilet," said a male voice from behind Lexus's back. "Sergei, is Bauman Street not traversed by vehicles?" asked Lexus. He watched around him.Sergei sat on the left side of Lexus. "Yes, that's right. Bauman Street is located in the middle of the city. It starts from the Kazan Kremlin and ends at Tukay Square. Besides, there are many shops beside it," he replied, occasionally playing with the fingers of the hand while answering Lexus's questions. Lexus nodded. He stared at his expensive watch that adorned the right wrist. "The travel time from Moscow to Kazan
Stella's heart really hurt. Her breathing was irregular. 'Yes, what William says is true. I'm just a surrogate bride. However, Lexus has expressed his love for me. Was it wrong for me to expect more?'Stella's heart sank when she was faced with the facts. She looked at William with anger and revenge. "Amanda!"William shouted the name of a new maid for Stella."Yes, Sir?"Amanda ran over to William. The young woman looked pityingly at Stella."From now on, you will live here. Serve my fiancé well! Because she is pregnant. Do you get it?"Amanda understands. She nodded. "Yes, I've got it, Mr. William.""If Stella's needs run out, then you're the one who goes shopping to the supermarket! Just tell me, how much money is needed to buy Stella's needs."William and Amanda both stared at Stella."Because money is not a big problem for me," William said, ending his sentence. "I'm going back to the apartment now."William walked away, leaving Stella and Amanda. Deep inside, his heart was lau
