"What? Putting the bike back?" Jayden asked confused, pointing at the big red motorbike in front of them. Lea nodded. "Yes, I want you to return this motorbike to its owner, your cousin you mentioned earlier. I will return these clothes too, after I wash them." "Hm? For what? She let me use her motorbike as long as she still can't ride it anymore. I understand motorcycle problems and before that I often helped her with the motorbike if there was anything that needed servicing so she trusted me to ride it. And the clothes are fine for you, because I already paid for it for you." Lea frowned. She didn't want to make Jayden fall for the kindness of his generous cousin, the motorbike owner. Jayden must learn to live a simpler life, within his own means. He doesn't need to pretend to be rich and extravagant just to increase his value in the eyes of others. After all, it was a very expensive bike and if anything broke while Jayden was riding it, he would have to pay a heavy price for m
Jayden cupped Lea's face in his hands and caressed her lips, which were now very red and wet and slightly swollen from their previous kiss."Lea, do you realize what we're doing?" Jayden asked, looking deep into Lea's eyes. He felt Black struggling, demanding the release of a long pent up desire, after smelling the same desire radiating from Nada, his mate.Lea nodded with a blush. "I know what we've done and probably what we're going to do next too. I was a little drunk but that kiss made me sober now."Jayden smiled and kissed Eva again on the lips. He made Lea lean comfortably against the back of the sofa and kissed her forehead."Wait here a moment, I need to arrange something and after that we can go."Jayden went to the bathroom and called Lim to do something. He returned to the sofa where Lea sat and waited for him."Let's go," Jayden said as he took Lea's hand and led her.They took a taxi to the Blue Bell apartment. Lim ultimately decided to buy the entire apartment complex,
"You became an online taxi driver using your bentley car?" asked Lea with widened eyes. Jayden shrugged. "It can't be helped, this is the only car I can use. After all, a good car allows you to raise the price," Jayden replied with a faint smile. "Come on up. The roads will get more congested if we leave later." Jayden takes Lea to the Flower agency building, owned by Nina, which without Lea's knowledge, more than half of its shares are controlled and managed by the Braiven family so actually legally Nina Kirk is just a doll assigned to run the agency, for the benefit of Fely's career in modeling. "You want me to wait?" asked Jayden after arriving in front of the Flower agency building. "I will park my car and waiting for you.""No need, Jayden. I might take a while," Lea said with a smile. She patted Jayden's hand gently. "Thanks for dropping me off. We'll talk later. I'll call you, its that okay?" "Yeah, I also needed to run some errands this morning. You know, I also freelance
Lea saw the women's bathroom near the lobby after getting out of the elevator. She entered and saw that the bathroom was clean and quiet. There were six booths facing each other inside and all were empty. Lea entered the far right booth and closed the door. She lowered the toilet lid and sat on it, feeling weak from her fight with Garry a few moments ago. Lea really couldn't understand why that man was being so annoying and forcing her to accept some money to let go of her winnings so easily. What really happened? Could an event of that magnitude, organized by a big industry like Franzine be easily tampered with by people from outside the company and why could Garry easily occupy Nina's place? Curiosity made Lea go online on her phone and look around for answers to her questions. Franzine Industry that organized this event turned out to be the main sponsor who was involved and had the advantage that the winner of the event would become their brand ambassador. However, technical
Lea left the Flower agency building and crossed the road to the fountain garden not far from the four-story building. She entered the cool garden and looked for a park bench that was somewhat hidden under a shady tree. Lea didn't feel well. She suspected something unpleasant would happen again. The presence of Garry and her father at one time, as well as Nina who was nowhere to be seen even though they had made an appointment earlier, raised a feeling of suspicion in Lea's heart. They must be up to something. Lea took her phone and glanced at Jayden's profile picture on the chat app. No visible face, only a photo of the back of a man in black clothes. Lea hesitated, should she text or call Jayden? Not for nothing, just want to talk or just exchange messages and feel that she is not alone. Deep inside, Lea felt a little guilty because wanting to speak to or at least hear Jayden's voice, even better, sitting next to him or being in his arms at a difficult time like this, felt like
Lea left the Flower agency building, harboring anger in her heart, making her blood boil and her hands and feet turn cold. Nada told her to go somewhere to calm down, because she wouldn't be able to leave in such an emotional state. Lea crossed the street and returned to the garden. The bench she was sitting on earlier was now occupied by a woman with a stroller in front of her. She was humming to the baby in the stroller, reading a book in her lap.Lea stared at the stroller and suddenly thought of Luke. She wanted to go home and sleep all day cuddling her son but there was no way she could because that would let her bright son know that something unpleasant had happened to her and Luke would feel anxious and restless. Lea didn't want her children to worry about her. She just wanted Luke to always be happy and cheerful. Luke is a smart and sensitive boy. He didn't always ask what happened or what Lea was feeling, but almost always knew how Lea was in a mood and even understood how
"No no, we haven't even received confirmation of the winner's order," Liam says, sounding slightly irritated. "They only mentioned three names, Lea Ariane Amarin, Fely Ann Braiven--both from the Flower agency, and Agnes Kirston from North Star agency. Just that." "What about the problem of which model to send for the Deluxe International Show?" asked Jayden curiously. "For that matter, our company has absolutely no relationship whatsoever, Jayden. That is entirely the business of the agency that represents the models with Echo entertainment. In fact, we as the main sponsors, if we are going to use a model designated as a brand ambassador, we have to go through Echo entertainment." "Why is it so convoluted," Jayden complained angrily. "Jayden, what do you need to find out about? Echo entertainment or the Deluxe International Show?" Liam asked. "Just say it." Jayden thought for a moment. Actually he hesitated to tell Liam, but his cousin was his closest relative he always trust.
"This is a very expensive restaurant," muttered Lea as she swallowed hard. "I don't want to go in."Jayden smiled faintly and rolled down the car window. "A person of the Weldinson Arch class can't possibly choose a restaurant without a Michelin star, dear. Come on, don't feel inferior over such a trivial matter. One day, you'll be able to rent an entire restaurant to serve your own personal guests." Lea turned and her eyes met Jayden's who was also looking at her. Lea felt her heart warm, seeing the trust and confidence in Jayden's eyes. On the other hand, she also felt sad because positive feelings like that came from someone she had only known one night five years ago, and had not even been with her for a month now, not from someone who was clearly flesh and blood like Dalton Braiven--her Father. To be honest, Lea had hoped--when she was still in America, one day when she decided to return to Sky High and meet her father again, they could reconcile.She didn't expect her father t
Five Years Later."Do not touch me!" demanded Lea in an icy voice. "Sleep outside and don't come in before I call you." Jayden was stunned. He accepted the pillow and blanket that Lea gave him with a sad face. "Baby, come on, I promise I won't touch you, but let me sleep next to you, OK?" Jayden coaxed gently. Lea turned Jayden around and pushed him out of the room, then closed the door and locked it. Jayden looked at the bedroom door languidly and headed for Luke's room. He shifted his son's body slightly then positioned himself next to him. Luke woke up and saw his father curled up beside him. "Dad? You got kicked out again?" asked Luke in a sleepy voice. "Yes. Your mother just finished taking a shower and was wearing the kimono that I just bought for her, suddenly she was crying and angry with me." "Does she not like her kimono?" "He said he liked it when I gave it to her this morning, son, but then he said I purposely chose a color that made him look fat." "What color d
Firts Entcounter."You are Jonathan Issac, the actor," Liam said, looking at Jonathan closely. Something sparks in his eyes when he shakes hands with Jonathan. Jonathan nodded. He didn't expect that a computer genius and internet expert could be so handsome and stylish. He is even more handsome than his fellow actors. "You are the cousin of Jayden Franzine, the computer genius?" Jonathan asked. "Yes. Why? Don't I look that smart?" Jonathan imagined a middle-aged man with a slightly pot belly, a half-bald head, and plastic-rimmed glasses that went down to his nose, not a man with a sexy tan skin, a tall, athletic body, and a face like a grown man's magazine model. "Uncle Liam!" shouted Luke who came out of the clinic while running towards Liam. The man scooped Luke into his arms. "Ohoo ... my cool nephew, how are you, boy? How is the application you are working on?" "I have to fix some things, uncle." "Bring it to me later and we'll fix it together." "Yes uncle. I'll ask Dad
"You're an ordinary human," Leon said while looking at the woman in front of him. "But you are very beautiful and you have a very bright aura." Shery looked at the man in the colorful Hawaiian shirt who looked happy and always smiling. "Yes, I'm human. However, since childhood I've been involved in the werewolf world, because my great great grandfather is the only human doctor who is recognized and given a special title--Werewolf Vet Specialist by the White Fur pack after successfully treating prince Vonsha White when he was attacked in border to Brazil by wild werewolves who staged a coup d'etat, then my great grandfather, my grandfather, and my father passed on and now I'm also a vet for the werewolf," Shery answered while holding her chin up high. Leon's eyebrows rose. "The doctor who was given the title ... wait, you're the granddaughter of doctor Tonnam Kim and the son of doctors Patricia and Darius Lee?" he asked. "Wow!" Shery interrupted without answering. Since the beginn
Shaira is proud of what Lea has achieved. She was also deeply moved when Lea mentioned his name in the speech and expressed her appreciation."Tony, I'm going to get some wine," Shaira said, pointing to a corner of the hall."Don't drink too much, Shaira, you tend to get grumpy when you're drunk," Tony warned. "You're not a very good drinker either."Shaira gave her thumb and walked to a corner of the hall where a long table served various drinks and sweet pastries.Shaira was standing at the side of the table, trying several types of wine, when suddenly ...“Oops, sorry,” Shaira said. She stared at the man in front of her, whose jacket was wet with spilled wine from the glass in her hand.The man was wearing a khaki suit and now a large purplish red circle was starting to spread over the khaki color. Shaira quickly took out a wet tissue from the bag and patted the stains on the suit."Stop, stop, miss, you will only make the stains stick to the suit," Ricky said annoyed, holding Shai
Dalton tries to persuade Fely to eat, but in vain. Fely was getting more and more gloomy and emaciated, but this morning when Dalton was delivering breakfast to her room instead of Nyla, he tripped over something near the nightstand next to the bed.He bent down and picked up the white object and stared at it in disbelief. A test pack, with two thick red lines. Dalton's face went pale. He noticed Feli who was sleeping on her back. Dalton quickly descended into the dining room and approached Nyla."Honey, do you know about this?" asked Dalton while handing the test pack to Nyla who was setting the table.Nyla stared at the thing Dalton proffered with bleary eyes. She took it with trembling hands. "Fe-fely?"Dalton fell on the dining chair, limp. Nyla sat on another dining chair nearby, just as limp."How about this?" muttered Nyla. "It will be a disgrace and the talk of the people."Dalton was stunned, unable to answer his wife's question. Nyla looked around her now empty house. She fi
"Fely, come on, you have to eat," Nyla coaxed gently. "Look how thin your face is."Fely turned her body while pulling the blanket. "There's no use for me to eat, Mom. My life is over. Just let me die so I won't trouble you," said Fely in a hoarse voice.Nyla cried sadly. She never thought of her family would be this devastated. Fely will no longer be able to work in the entertainment world she likes for the next five years, which means that her career in the entertainment world is truly over. How come. In the next five years, Fely's age will increase and even if she has strong connections that can bring her back to a career in the entertainment world, she will still experience difficulties.Garry has officially announced that he has broken off his engagement with Fely and will withdraw all of his shares in Echo entertainment.That means, some of the entertainment shares that have been withdrawn by Garry must be immediately replaced by other investors, or Fely buys all the shares with
"I can't believe this is actually happening," Lea muttered. She turned and faced Eloise. "Is this good enough for me?"Eloise's tears welled up in her eyes. She grabbed Leah's hands and held them tightly. "I know, one day you will shine like this and your light will not go out because someone is protecting you."Lea smiled. "Thank you for coming, Eloise. I really appreciate it."Eloise wiped the wet corners of her eyes. "This is my honor. After all, I am only human. To be able to see a ceremony like this is an honor for me."Lea and Eloise turned to the door at the same time, when they heard someone knocking on the door, then Shaira's and Shery's heads appeared."Come in! I'm done," called Lea.Shaira and Shery entered, wide-eyed at Lea's appearance."Oh my, Lea, you're such a fairy!" cried Shery in amazement.Shaira was speechless, just stared at Lea in awe. Lea smiled. She wore a white, low V-neck dress, with long sleeves and an A-line cut that flared below her legs. A chain necklac
Lea and Luke's chins almost dropped, looking at the interior of Franzine manor. They never thought they would be able to see the luxury of noble houses that they had only seen on television before through movies or dramas, in front of their eyes, in real life.High ceilings, wide marble staircases, large glass windows, and solid teak rich doors, like a classic impression of a manor built by the ancestors of the Franzine family, combined with luxurious and minimalist modern themed furniture, making Franzine manor feel alive and extraordinarily beautiful."Dad, how many floors are there in this manor?" asked Luke, looking up. "Three floors and an additional floor above which is made into a dome garden. I'll take you there after we meet everyone.""Master Jayden, you've arrived," said a midled age woman dressed in a light blue uniform that greeted Jayden, Lea, and Luke at the entrance.She looked at Lea with a fascinated gaze. "Owh, you look even prettier than I see in magazines or tele
"Move?" asked Lea with raised eyebrows. "Why should we move?"Jayden was drying Luke's freshly washed hair. He stopped rubbing Luke's head and looked at Lea. "Luke is getting bigger, he needs more space to grow and also a more pleasant social environment. The apartment feels a little cramped now. Isn't it, Luke?"Luke nodded with a thumbs up, not daring to make a comment for fear that Lea would still be upset with him.After Jayden confessed his true identity to Lea, Luke, Jonathan, Ricky, and Tony respectively admitted that they already knew who Jayden was.Lea is very upset because she feels lied to by everyone. However, Lea's anger didn't last long, because she realized that Jayden was also thinking about her career and self-esteem, so she had to hide his identity."Moving where, babe?" Lea asked finally."Would you and Luke come with me in the morning? My family wants to see you," Jayden said carefully. "No coercion, only hope."Lea laughed at Jayden's words. "All right. What time
