“Young master, that’s not how you make the sauce. You need to mix them like this.” The chef told Max about it as he patiently showed him the correct way to mix the sauce together.
“What is the difference anyway? Either way it’s going to be mixed.” Max groaned.
“Well, to make the perfect sauce for the lasagna, you need to properly measure the ingredients and use your feelings in the making.” The chef replied.
“This is stupid.” He grunted as he started doing exactly as the chef showed him earlier. One might be wondering what was happening.
Well, thirty minutes earlier, Maximus approached the private chefs who were getting ready to make breakfast and made a request to them.
“Teach me how to make lasagna.” Well, it was more like an order. At fir

"The quality of our lives depends not on whether or not we have conflicts, but on how we respond to them."-Thomas Crum-***“Harper, what are you doing here?” Kilian asked. He didn’t look excited at all. Max also shared the same sentiment. Both of these men didn’t seem pleased by her arrival at all.“Hm, who is this woman and why is she calling them brothers?” Levana wondered. Judging from her appearance, she shared some kind of resemblance toward Maximus. Although not quite right.“Come on, are you seriously going to treat your younger sister like this after a year? I’m here to visit my brothers, of course.""Also because I have some modelling contract here in the UK. It’s going to last for a few months so I am staying here for now.” She proudly showed her suitcase which was placed in front of the door.“You know you could have called me firs

"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."-Solomon-***The sight before him truly made him furious. Kilian saw Harper slapping Levana really hard and she fell down to the ground. It flashed right before his eyes and Maximus saw the same scene as well.Seeing Levana who fell down with a red mark on her cheek and a slightly bleeding lip from the nail scratch, both Kilian and Maximus became furious.They quickly rushed over there and Kilian helped Levana to stand up while Maximus yelled at Harper.“What do you think you are doing!? Who are you to do something like this to her!?” He asked, completely forgetting that once upon a time, he too almost slapped her like this.If it wasn’t for Kilian who stopped him from doing that, he probably would have done the same thing before.“This bitch is getting on my nerve! She’s just a commoner but she dared to

"It's a form of human love to accept our complicated, messy humanity and not run away from it."-Martha Nussbaum-***The next morning at work, Kilian received the news from the mercenary he hired.“Vasco is dead.” It read. Kilian smiled and continued working on his job. It was then when he received a call from Max.“What is it?” He asked. From the other side of the line, Max sounded worried.“The Assembly wants to hold a meeting. They must have heard about Vasco’s death. Looks like they want to figure out who killed Vasco. He’s one of the biggest supplier after all. With him gone, their business will be slowed.” He explained.“So what? Let them hold the meeting.” Kilian responded. Maximus raised his brow. His brother sounded a little too calm for this situation.“Do you understand what is happening right now? We have to attend the meeti

"Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories." -Steven Wright- *** Levana was practicing her gun shooting abilities like usual and after a few times of training with Jonathan, she was becoming more and more agile that this time, she managed to shoot all the targets exactly on the head and heart area, as she intended. “Good job, Levana.” Jonathan complimented her as he slowly walked toward her from behind. He had been observing her since earlier and he could tell that her skill has greatly improved. It was nowhere near as good as professional sniper like him, but it was decent. “Thank you.” Levana put down the gun and removed her ear muff. “You’re quite energized today, did something happen?” He asked. When she was shooting earlier, she looked like she was shooting with passion. It made him wonder if there was anything that happened which made her act that way. “Do you

"For vengeance is an emptiness and he that seeketh it wasteth time." -Jeffery Farnol- *** Harper sat down in her bed and crossed her arms. She tried to keep herself busy that day with her modelling work, but something was still bothering her mind. It was about her brothers and that stranger woman they brought into the house. She had not seen her brothers in a year and was looking forward to seeing them again. Even though they were not full blood siblings, she didn’t hate them at all. She actually wanted to become closer to them, not just because of their wealth and fortune, but because life would be better if she had them as her backing. Yet when she finally saw them again, they showed the brotherly affection she so desperately wanted to gain from them to a woman they barely even knew. Harper simply couldn’t accept it. Throughout her life, she tried so hard to gain approval from both of them.

"Only those faults which we encounter in ourselves are insufferable to us in others." -Sophie Swetchine- *** Kilian and Maximus had just gotten back from work that day and they agreed that the two of them would take Levana out to watch a movie together. There were a lot of good shows and she has not been able to go to theatre since she arrived there. Although both men were actually jealous of each other on the inside because they wished they could just take her out to watch a movie alone, they knew it would be more comfortable for her if they watched it together. “Get ready, we are going to watch a movie at seven.” They told her a few hours before they were back and by the time they were home, she was already ready to go out. Levana was wearing a navy blue silky blouse and black pencil skirt with kitten heels. She also wore a navy handbag and a pair of dainty white gold earrings which complimented her

"Turn your wounds into wisdom." -Oprah Winfrey- *** Charlotte headed back to Harper’s apartment with a heavy heart. She couldn’t believe her own sons would choose a mere woman like that who they just knew for a few weeks over their own mother. She knew she couldn’t let this continue on. She needed to do something before her sons were lost forever. “How did it go, mama?” Harper who heard her mother knocking opened up the door and asked right away. “You are right, darling. That woman is a problem for us. We need to get rid of her as soon as possible.” She told Harper right after the door was closed. “What should we do?” Harper asked. “Don’t worry, my baby, I have a plan in mind.” Charlotte said before she entered her room and locked the door. She picked up her phone and dialed the number of one of her associate in there. “Hello, I’d like to hire someone.” She said. “Okay, just giv

"Losing someone we love, or the fear of losing someone we love one day is a difficult experience and we all can relate to it. None of us are an exception to this reality." -Aamir Khan- *** “Why is she like this?” They looked at her condition after the surgery and saw the wound from the surgery earlier. It broke their heart to see her like this. Kilian sat at the sofa and tried to calm himself down. He knew she would be fine. His fifty million pounds lady would be fine. In the meantime, he needed to catch whoever sent the assassin for her and made sure they paid for what they did. Maximus on the other hand was more uneasy. He kept on walking back and forth across the room as he looked at her with a frown. “Hey you, wake up.” Maximus approached her and knelt so his height matched the length of the hospital’s bed. “Levana, I don’t mind if you look at me with the same judging gaze, I also forgive y

Such thought never crossed her mind before, but after meeting her brother earlier, those thought remained and she couldn’t get it out of her head. He had a point, both Maximus and Kilian were brothers and she was already close with both of them. She loved Kilian with all of her heart, but she couldn’t deny that Maximus’ feelings for her were equally as strong as his brother. What would happen if she proposed an idea of the three of them being together? With her as the center of the relationship and date both brothers at the same time? It has been a couple of days but she couldn’t get the thought out of her mind, so she decided to talk to Kilian about it. That evening, Levana, Kilian and Maximus were having dinner together like before and this time, Kilian discu

In her eyes, Alfie appeared to be an invincible figure, completely untouched since Kilian had an important business relation with him.

Knowing the backstory between these two people, he already had an idea of what Kilian would do next.“Get rid of her.” He gave the order and Jerome froze for one second.“Sir, I think you may want to reconsider it, Katarina is,”“I know exactly who she is but I have given her a warning. I will deal with her father later. That woman has been quite troublesome for the past few years, I gave her so many chance to live in peace. If she only bothered me, I would have let her live.” He paused for a few seconds before continuing.“But

He always moved with prediction and didn’t really let emotions control him.However, this time, things were quite different. He was starting to lose sleep over thinking about her.He had sent his men to find her in every corner of England and had tried to find her through his connections throughout Europe, yet there were still no results at all and it was driving him crazy.Maximus on the other hand took this pain to a while different level, he started drinking excessively and became even more barbaric.Each time Kilian sent him to get rid of their enemies, he did so brutally a

How can I help you?” He asked.“Do you know a man named Livio La Rosa?” She asked. Upon hearing the name, the man froze and he paused for a few seconds before he asked her.“How do you know that name?&

It’s entirely yours.”The eunuch opened the door and she saw a large chamber with a king sized bed in the middle, covered in silk bedding, the ceiling was also higher than her previous room with middle eastern styled carving on the ceilings.The floor was made from marble and she could see various lavish decorations adorning the room.“His majesty Prince Hamza has given this room for you. It’s yours now.” The eunu

"Extinction is the rule, survival is the exception."-Carl Sagan-***The prince and Levana ended up spending the entire night talking and eating sweets.Even though in the beginning, Hamza had the desire to bed her that evening, he thought that it was a bit too early and decided to take it a bit easy since she just arrived in there.Over the next few days, the prince summoned her to his chamber and it caught the attention of many people in there.A lot of the women in the harem thought that it was a bit weird since the prince had never done anything quite like this before.“That woman must be doing some kind of witchcraft toward him, otherwise, how could he summon her for a few days a row?” One of the woman of the harem whispered.“You’re right, that woman is a disaster for our land and nation. She must be seducing the prince. He has forgotten about the rest of us ever since th

"You deserve to be chosen undoubtedly over and over again not merely considered."-Jenny Winbladh-***After she gathered back on the main area where the other women were at, she was asked to sit in one of the available cushion there.Most of the women were seated on the floor with cushion underneath them and they all had their eyes on Levana.Perhaps because she had a feature they weren’t quite familiar with. Some of the women looked at her with the look of admiration, while others looked at her with the look of envy.After everything she had been through, those stares really meant nothing. She just brushed them off and moved on. Around an hour later, the eunuch from earlier entered the room again and clapped his hand.“Prince Hamza is back, get ready in line and wait for his arrival.”Upon hearing this, all of the women rose from their seat with excited look on their face, the quick
