After ten minutes had passed, the surgery sign was off, signaling the surgery had been finished. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Later, he rose and glanced at the door, awaiting the doctor to exit the room. After five minutes, the doctor stepped out of the surgery room.
“Mr. Montgomery?”
“Yes, Doctor.”
“Your wife is still unconscious as she is under full anesthesia. So, please wait for a few hours or tomorrow for her to wake up. The operation went well. Fortunately, the bullet didn’t hit the spine so there was no fatal wound because o

Six months later, Emily had already recovered from the wound. She still experienced pain from time to time, and it got worse during the cold weather. Harold was with her, and she knew she wouldn’t leave him for good.One day, Harold told her, “I want to go to the Lovely World with Jason and Mia. Is that okay?”“Of course.”“Jason was injured back then. I want to erase the memory and replace it with a better one.”“Thank you.” She held his hand and squeezed it.“No need to thank me, love, but you must stay at home.”“What?! No way!”“Baby, you still need

The next day was Sunday. Harold sent a text message to Emily. ‘Meet me at the Premium Steak restaurant. There is something I want to talk about with you two. Let’s discuss it over lunch. Leave Jason and Mia at home. It’s a date! Wear a white dress and high heels, my love. See you soon. Ask the greeter to show you to table three. I already reserved it. Don’t be late. I already asked Jimmy to pick you up at home at ten a.m..’So, Emily prepared herself to go to the restaurant. After wearing a silk white dress and matching color high heels, she put on makeup. It was rare that Harold sent her a text message to set a date, but she was excited.

“Something’s wrong,” Emily said. “Harold has never been so late like this.”Jacob stared at Emily. Despite not knowing Harold well, he knew Harold was a businessman. Harold wouldn’t be a successful businessman if he couldn’t come to a meeting on time, especially a business meeting.“Call him,” he said. “Maybe he gets stuck in traffic.”“If he does, he should let us know instead of letting us wait here.” She glanced at her wrist. “It’s been forty-five minutes.”Someone knocked before Jacob answered. It was the server. Then he smiled at Jacob and Emily. “I’m sorry for coming here, sir and madam, but Mr. Montgomery specifically instructed me to serve both of you

Three days later, all the Gold Cleaner’s members attended Arturo’s private burial. They wanted to give last respects to their former leader. So one by one put a white flower on the grave and shook hands with Al and Jacob. The real burial was immediately after Arturo’s death. The current burial was a formal arrangement to give the last respect to the late leader and his family. Emily attended the funeral too because she knew how close Jacob and Arturo were. She didn’t bring Jason and Mia because she didn’t know how long the burial would last. Once everyone had already given their last respect, Al finally said his speech. “Thank you for coming. I appreciate it. My father would hate it if we were sad because of him. However, knowing everyone comes here and remembers him well, I’m sure he’s smiling right now.”The sea of people in black clothes filled in the cemetery. No one talked as they wanted to hear what Al said. “What my father loved was our family, the brotherhood.” Al avoided t

Jacob arrived at the headquarters an hour earlier than the meeting schedule. He wanted to talk with Al first. As he had already told Al about it, he found the younger man sip a brandy.“Hey, Bro. You already came. Do you want it?” Al offered the brandy.“A glass, please?”After having a snifter each filled with brandy, they walked to a small room and sat there while sipping the drink. Al waited for Jacob to talk first because his mind was still full of grief after the funeral.“I asked you to talk because it’s about the Gold Cleaner and me.”Al raised his eyebrow and nodded a little, but said nothing, supporting Jacob to talk more.

Finally, it was the meeting time. Jacob glanced around to predict how much support they had already had so far.“Thank you for coming.” He nodded. “Some of you already heard from Al and Lewis, but I will reveal about this now, so we all are on the same page. So, since I’ll move in a different direction in the future because my business requires more of my time, I have three options for you all to choose. First, we’ll continue as usual, but I’ll retire and we’ll choose someone else as a new leader.”Some leaders who hadn’t heard about it frowned because they liked Jacob and didn’t want him to retire.Hector raised his hand. “Who do you have in mind as your replacement?”“I thought of Al, b

The first and the third options had their pros and cons. So far, with Jacob, Al, Hector, Lewis, Valentinos, and Riley, the third option had six leaders to support it.So, there were Hayden, Konstantin, Bruno, Adrien, and Aiden who hadn’t expressed their decision. Jacob glanced around and smiled because he already knew what would happen next. Adrien raised his hand.“Yes, Adrien?”“I’m supporting the third option as long as you will allow me to create a new fire management company.”Jacob nodded. “Sure, man.” They had already discussed it a week ago.

You even said you didn’t want to work under Montgomery and the Silent Syndicate.” Then Jacob added slowly to emphasize his words, “Now we all know it’s all just bullshit!”

Then he forced a smile. “It’s okay if you don’t want to marry me now. Maybe you want to enjoy your time alone first.”But then Emily shook her head. “No.” She held both of his hands. “I want to make you the happiest man, Jacob. So, it’s a yes.”Jacob immediately stood and put the ring on her finger. Then he kissed her lips and hugged her tightly.He laughed and shook his head. “I thought you would say no.
