"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."

“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
"Alliance does not mean love, any more than war means hate." -Francis Parker Yockey- *** Levana saw a man with curly dirty blonde hair and a mischievous smile. For some reason, the moment she laid eyes on him, she already had this instinct. A gut feeling, that this man was trouble. “Alfie.” Kilian greeted the man while Maximus snuffed upon seeing him as if looking at this man was one of the most unpleasant thing he had to do. “Well, well, who do we have here? She looks kind of familiar.” The man placed his gaze on Levana and he licked the corner of his lips. “This is Levana. She’s my guest.” Kilian responded. Upon hearing this, Alfie’s expression brightened up and he chuckled as if he just realized something amusing. “No way, is this one of the woman who was auctioned? Ah, I understand, she’s the one you bought for fifty million pounds.” Levana raised her brow, how did this man knew it. “Alfie,
"Wanting something is not enough, you must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way." -Les Brown- *** “What did you and Alicia talk about?” Kilian asked as soon as both of them were inside the car, about to head back home. “She just gave me her business card, in case anything happen, she told me if you or Maximus ever mistreat me, I can come to her for protection.” She responded. “Oh, I have nothing to worry about then because that will never happen. I cannot mistreat you. You are too precious for me.” He replied. After they got back home, Levana was so tired and drained all she wanted to do was to sleep. She completely ignored the men and headed straight in her room. She removed all of the jewelries and makeup. Her hair accessories and styling was also removed, allowing her natural hair to fall over her chest. Th
"You don't want to let your guard down." -Max Mayfield- *** The next day, Levana approached Kilian first thing in the morning. The moment he opened up his bedroom door, she was already standing in there which was quite unusual. “What are you doing here?” He wondered. “I thought about your offer yesterday. You know, to become your girlfriend.” She paused for a moment as Kilian observed her. “Go on, I’m listening.” He told her. “I accept it, I will be your girlfriend, but I don’t want to do anything sexual with you just yet. I hope you understand.” She responded. Kilian thought about it for a moment before he reached out his hand to touch her head and gently caressed her hair. “I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t ever force you to do anything you don’t want to. Since you are officially my girlfriend, we can always wait.” He told her before taking her hand and pulling her into his embrace.
"To expect the unexpected shows a thoroughly modern intellect." -Oscar Wilde- *** The man behind it was none other than Alfie Nottingson. The blonde man walked inside the room and then closed it with a mischievous smile on his face. “You are Alfie.” Levana stated with disbelief. She already had a gut feeling that someone she knew before would be the one behind it, but she didn’t think it would be the same guy who kidnapped her the first time and sold her at the auction. What a luck she had. “Yes, yes, it’s me, Alfie. I am flattered you remember my name.” He sat at the chair in front of the vanity table and steep his fingers together. “Why are you doing this? What is your intention?” She asked as she crossed her arms. “Well, I saw that the bird I once captured had become a swan. The Osborne brothers seem to be completely smitten by you, so I want to know exactly why. Of course, the best way to know it i
"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
