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
"Ignore all hatred and criticism. Live for what you create, and die protecting it."-Lady Gaga-***Kilian headed to Ace’s home with his men.When he entered the house, he saw Ace’s wife in the kitchen and when she saw that a bunch of random men have entered her house, she wanted to scream, but Jerome quickly grabbed her and shut her mouth.He placed a tape on her mouth to silence her and then tied her up to a chair. Considering the woman’s demeanor, there was no way she could escape the ties of the chair.Not long after, the door opened and Ace came in unassumingly.When he saw his wife tied up on the chair with a gun on her head, he wanted to pull out his gun and shoot Jerome but before he could, Emmet placed the tip of the gun on the bald man’s head and Kilian showed up from the side.“Ace, I didn’t think I would see you again like this.” Kilian pulled a cha
"If you tell the truth , you don't have to remember anything." -Mark Twain- *** The next morning, Levana slowly fluttered her eyes open. She had been unconscious for long that her eyes were having some difficulties adjusting to the blinding light of the hospital’s ceiling. Unlike most people in her situation, she had perfect memory of what happened. She remembered getting shot and was brought to the hospital before her consciousness was gone. Since she was still there, she assumed she was still alive. “I guess I haven’t run out of luck yet.” She told herself. When she was about to move her body, she could feel this sharp pain that made it impossible for her to even sit up straight. “You have woken up. No, no, don’t move your body like that. It will worsen it.” Maximus approached her and helped her lay back down. “Maximus, did you stay with me the whole night?” She asked. “Well yes, I ca
"The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance." -Nathaniel Branden- *** “What do you mean by that?” Kilian asked, raising his brow as if he didn’t understand the question already. “First of all, you had fifty million pounds to purchase me, then you have all these strange men going in and out of the house. You almost got poisoned once. Your brother was shot and three days ago I was shot. These things aren’t normal, Kilian. They are not something normal people experience.” She explained. Kilian already knew which directions he was going with this and he was not sure he could tell her about it just yet. “I just want to know. Who are you and what exactly are you doing in life? You told me before you’re a businessman, but what kind of business are you in?” She asked. “Levana, I don’t think it’s something you need to know.” He replied. “I need to know! I almost lost my lif
"Man is by nature competitive, combative, ambitious, jealous, envious and vengeful."-Arthur Keith-***“We’re going to attend a charity gala tonight.” Kilian announced out of the blue while everyone was having breakfast.“A charity gala, for what?”“It’s to raise fund for cancer research, the usual stuff. But instead of that, the main purpose of a charity gala is not to raise fund, but to entertain the guests and network with other high earning and influential individual.”“People are competing to show how charitable and generous they are toward the poor, but most of these people don’t actually care.Only a few are genuine philanthropist from the heart.” Maximus stated in the middle of the conversation.“Well, the people who received the money wouldn’t care if the benefactors actually care about them. All they care about is
"A marriage contract to me is as binding as any in business and I have always believed in sticking to an agreement." -Paul Getty- *** “If you can have both, why only choose one?” Her brothers’ words echoed in her mind. 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
"The axe forgets but the tree remembers."-African Proverb-***The news of Alfie’s death had reached Katarina’s ears and she was filled with so much fear on the inside. She knew Kilian loved that woman so much, which was the reason why she despised her and asked Alfie’s help to get rid of her.However, she never thought Kilian would find out about it and ended up killing Alfie. In her eyes, Alfie appeared to be an invincible figure, completely untouched since Kilian had an important business relation with him. So were the people in their circle.Kilian had always been a composed man, someone who thought rationally, so she thought there was no way he would do something like this that would strain the relationship between him and many other parties and allies he had.But she was wrong. Because of what they did, Kilian officially went insane and killed Alfie. She knew she was the target next.
"There are no bad ideas, just bad decisions."-Jacob Cass-***“As expected, Alfie didn’t come up with that plan on his own, someone else was conspiring with him on it.” Jerome told Kilian.“Who exactly is this person?” He asked.“It’s Katarina.” The man replied a little hesitantly. 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
"The love we give away is the only love we keep."-Elbert Hubbard-***The prince had received the news that someone had asked for a meeting for him the previous night and it was from an English man who called himself Kilian Osborne.Since the prince didn’t have any idea who he was, he had his men run a background check on the Osborne guy to find out that he was a businessman in England and his purpose there was to talk about business.At least that’s what he believed.He arranged a meeting between the two of them that evening after he was done with the other work. When Kilian was invited inside, he saw the prince and was asked to sit down.They were discussing business but the truth was, it’s just a distraction.Levana was walking on the hallway when she heard that the prince had another guest from England, but on her way there, she accidentally bumped into a man.“I&rsq
"Love is not finding someone to live with, it's finding someone you can't live without."-Rafael Ortiz-***It has been almost two weeks since Levana was gone from his life and Kilian was starting to become agitated.He was usually a composed man, someone who didn’t care much about many things and was highly logical. 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
"There is no love like the love for a brother. There is no love like the love from a brother."-Astrid Alauda-***“Your majesty, please excuse me.”She also excused herself a few minutes after and although Hamza didn’t really want her to leave his sight at this moment, he allowed her and Levana rose and followed the direction where Edmund was at.Instead of finding him near the bathroom, she found him on the hallway instead and she decided to approach him.“Excuse me, I need to confirm something with you.” The man was a bit startled by her presence there and paid full attention.“You are one of the prince’s woman, aren’t you? 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?&
"You live, you learn and you upgrade."-Anonymous-***Instead of walking to her usual chamber, she was brought to the second floor of the harem where supposedly, all of the prince’s favorite concubines and women resided.The eunuch led her to one of the room in the middle where she had the perfect view of the entire harem from above and stopped in front of the door.“The prince has given his order.From now on, you will reside in this chamber. 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
