Ryan arrived with Sandra by his side, while Kindred came with his wife. Although the DNA test results were still pending, Kindred's impatience was palpable. The photograph he had received hinted that he might be the father of the child. Determined to uncover the truth, he delved into an investigation that revealed Mildred and Ryan had continued their relationship even after he had broken up with Sandra.With a wry smile, Ryan taunted, "Do you honestly believe the child is yours?"Kindred, consumed by anger, retorted, "What on earth are you insinuating?"A chuckle escaped Ryan's lips as he wiped the blood from his mouth onto his shirt. "Oh, do you want to know? You despicable man, you chose a virtuous woman and betrayed her with a harlot. Were you not aware of your wife's...""Ryan," Mildred interjected, her voice cutting through the tension. At first, she had believed the child belonged to Kindred, but during a check-up, she discovered that the number of weeks she was pregnant didn't
"I'm sorry, but I'm just not in the mood for drinks," Sandra uttered with a regretful tone, hoping her friend Emine would understand.Emine's voice brimmed with disappointment as she retorted, "Unbelievable! How can you possibly be out of the mood? This is a moment to celebrate, the adulterous couples have finally met their karmic fate."Sandra sighed, realizing that she couldn't escape Emine's nagging. Reluctantly, she surrendered, "Alright, alright, Madam, I hear you. Let's go have a few drinks then."Shaking her head in frustration, Sandra muttered to herself, "Where did I find such a friend? I had promised Ryan a special dinner tonight, and now she's just dampened everything. What a friend I've ended up with."After hanging up the phone, Emine found herself standing pensively by the window. Her thoughts raced, and a single question consumed her: "Will Aiden, too, face his just desserts?"She set her gaze on the horizon, the city lights twinkling below. And in the midst of her conte
"Sandra, hold on tight, I've got your back," Emine whispered, struggling to find Sandra's hands amidst the haze of their drunken state."You'd better hold on to me, I'm way more sober than you," Sandra retorted, disagreeing with Emine's claim."Oh, really? How dare you say you're more sober than me? I am stronger than you!" Emine challenged, her voice slurring with intoxication.As Sandra rubbed her eyes in confusion, she exclaimed, "Wait a minute, Emine! I swear I see two gigantic trees blocking our way!" The alcohol had clearly blurred her vision."Stay right here, my strong friend. Watch as I uproot these trees," Emine declared with wobbly determination, swaying from side to side as she warned Sandra not to wander off.Amidst the laughter of their companions, Ryan pointed at himself and quipped, "Hey, are we talking about trees here? Am I a tree too?""Of course! Can't you see all these trees around us?" Aiden chimed in, thoroughly entertained by the spectacle. Emine's adorable clu
Emine emerged from Aiden's bedroom and entered the hallway, her eyes scanning the familiar surroundings. Everything appeared unchanged, as if frozen in time. She couldn't help but scrutinize the hall, her gaze landing on the audacious portrait of Nora that still proudly adorned the wall. It was a stark reminder that Nora still held the reins of ownership. Emine scoffed, finding the situation absurd, and with a dismissive air, she departed.Meanwhile, Aiden, still grappling with his awakening senses, embarked on a search of the house, only to find it devoid of any presence. Perplexed, he muttered to himself, "This girl has truly grown wings." Determined to assert his authority, he made a decisive call to Finn, instructing him to contact Mr. Shadrach and terminate the deal with Emine. Adding a touch of audacity, Aiden declared, "Tell him I'll sweeten the deal with an additional thirty percent, just to see how far she dares to challenge me."As the clock neared nine in the morning, Sandr
In a dimly lit room, tension hung heavy in the air as a trembling old man faced a mysterious figure. Fear etched deep lines on his weathered face as he mustered the courage to ask, "Who... are you?"With an air of chilling confidence, the enigmatic presence responded, "Calm down, old man. I'm not here to end your life. Allow me to introduce myself—I am Emine, the Devil Queen." She perched herself on the edge of the bed, toying mischievously with an object in her hands."The... the devil queen?" the old man stuttered, his voice trembling with trepidation. "I haven't offended you. Please spare me.""Relax," Emine reassured him, a hint of a wicked smile playing upon her lips. "I have no intention of causing you harm. However, you must heed my words and do as I say."Nervously swallowing, the old man managed to stammer, "What... what do you want?""I want you to cancel the deal you've struck with Aiden," she commanded, her voice laced with an ominous warning. Her fingers formed a menacing
"Take it easy, your ex- wife has become invisible, we couldn't find any information about how she went missing and the life she lived. Aww I wonder who is backing her.""Mm, you are right," Aiden said as he was deep in thought. Aiden was deep in thought, pondering the mysterious disappearance of his ex-wife, who seemed to have become invisible. The lack of information about her whereabouts and her life left him wondering who might be supporting her.Just then, Finn knocked on the door. "Boss, it is said that one of the young masters has been brutally killed.""What does this woman actually want?" Grey asked, holding his waist and contemplating the situation."Any news about her?" Aiden inquired."No sir, but we are still investigating," replied Finn."I think it is time to be really serious about this woman. She will destroy the country if care is not taken," Grey said."You are right, Finn, check intelligence agencies' databases and request information on known assassins or contract
Aiden leaned back in his worn-out armchair, his fingers drumming restlessly on the wooden table before him. For weeks, he had been tirelessly searching for clues about the elusive assassin known as the Devil Queen, Grey hasn't been able to find any clue so as Finn. Countless victims had fallen to her deadly skills, leaving the city in a state of fear and paranoia. But now, a glimmer of hope emerged from the darkness.Grey, burst into the room, clutching a weathered leather satchel close to his chest. His breath came in ragged gasps, his eyes wild with excitement and fatigue. Aiden knew that whatever Grey had discovered, it must be of utmost importance."What is it, Grey?" Aiden asked, his voice filled with anticipation. "What have you found?"Grey approached the table and carefully placed the satchel down, his hands trembling with anticipation. With a solemn nod, he unfastened the worn leather straps, revealing a gleaming silver blade nestled inside. Its edges shimmered under the dim l
The stage was set, and the time for secrets and shadows was coming to an end. The thunder roared its approval, as if nature itself had chosen to align with the forces of justice. Aiden, Grey, and Emily knew that they had a daunting task ahead of them, but their resolve burned brightly, pushing aside any doubts or fears.With the Devil Queen's weapon in their possession and Emily's insider knowledge, they meticulously planned their next move. They would gather irrefutable evidence against Lady Victoria Kensington, expose her criminal activities, and ensure she faced the consequences of her actions.The first step was to infiltrate Lady Victoria's mansion during one of her secretive gatherings. Emily knew the layout of the estate, the security protocols, and the people involved. It was a risk, but it was a risk they had to take.Under the cover of darkness, Aiden, Grey, and Emily made their way to the mansion. Rain poured relentlessly, masking their movements and adding an eerie atmosph
