"A-Are you joking, Mr. Carter?"

Biana doubted Mark's words for a moment, but the serious look on his face told her he wasn't lying.

"Sorry, please continue," Biana muttered, adjusting her expression and listening intently.

Mark sighed and continued, "I was raised by a remarkable mother. I never knew who my biological father was until I turned eighteen."

He explained that after investigating, he discovered his father was a high-ranking official notorious for exploiting women who caught his interest.

"When I confronted him and demanded he take responsibility for what he did to my mother, he insulted me. He accused me of being trash looking for a handout and even called my mother a disgrace after what he did to her."

Outraged by the insult, Mark couldn't control his anger. He killed the man with his own hands and faced criminal charges for it. However, his mother took the blame, claiming responsibility for the crime and threatening to end her life if Mark confessed.

    The new day had begun. This morning, Amora was back to her usual routine, getting Rayden ready for school.“Come on, Ray. Did you forget anything?” Amora asked her son, who had overslept today.The day before, Rayden spent the entire day at the amusement park with Kimmy and the Moonstone couple. At first, he didn’t want to go, but Kimmy kept insisting, and her parents also convinced him to join them.In the end, Rayden reluctantly went along and ended up having so much fun with Kimmy that he lost track of time. They went on almost every ride in the park.He only got home after sunset and was so exhausted that he overslept this morning despite Amora’s attempts to wake him up.Amora was also running late. She had dozed off on the living room couch while waiting for Regis to come home. But to her surprise, he never returned that night. She only saw his message when she woke up in the middle of the night.Regis didn’t explain why he didn’t come home. Amora assumed he must have had some im

    Amora’s eyes flickered toward Albert, who was still waiting for her decision. However, she kept talking and asked, “Mr. Parker, as a man, what do you think makes a man angry for no reason?”Albert was momentarily stunned. He hesitated before asking, “Are you referring to the Young Master?”Amora cleared her throat awkwardly. “Is it that obvious?”“Forgive me, Madam. I spoke out of turn,” Albert replied, worried that his presumptive remark might offend her.“Forget it, Mr. Parker. I just want to know ... has your boss ever been angry without a reason?” Amora probed. She thought perhaps Albert, who had been with Regis for a long time, would understand him better.Albert pondered for a moment and said, “I apologize, Madam. I can’t read his mind, but in my opinion, his anger always has a reason. For instance, if we fail to carry out our duties or upset him because ...”“Because of what?” Amora raised an eyebrow.“Because you pay more attention to other people than to him,” Albert answered

    Blossom Restaurant Encounter“Welcome, Ma'am.”As she arrived at Blossom Restaurant, Amora was greeted by one of the staff. The Greek-inspired eatery had gained quite the reputation among food enthusiasts and was always bustling during lunchtime.That's why Amora decided to come early to secure a comfortable seat. Unfortunately, the restaurant didn’t have private rooms, meaning she had to sit in the common area with other diners.The server led Amora to a table and handed her the menu.“Would it be okay if I ordered later? I'm waiting for my husband,” Amora said politely.“Of course, Ma'am. Please call me when you're ready to order.”Amora nodded slightly and smiled as the server left her table.She pulled out her phone and contacted Xavier to ask him to pick up Rayden. Since Rayden was training with Xavier that day, it was convenient timing.“I have a little errand to run, so I’ll pick him up after his training with you. Thanks so much, Xavier. Sorry for troubling you so often,” Amor

    Noel's request wasn't difficult for Amora to grant, but she was unsure how to agree because she worried that Regis wouldn't be happy to see Noel.However, Amora still felt guilty about Noel thinking that she had blocked his number."What's up? Are you waiting for someone?" Noel asked when he noticed the confusion on her face.In fact, Noel had been observing her for quite some time from his seat, which was only three tables away. When he saw no one approaching Amora, he decided to leave his table and approach her.Amora gave a small nod. "Yeah, but he hasn't shown up yet," she replied."A guy?" Noel asked curiously.A faint smile appeared on Amora's lips as she glanced at her phone, noticing that it was already five minutes past the agreed time.Regis had said he'd be there in ten minutes, but the guy hadn't even shown up yet."Sorry, I thought you were having lunch alone, and I wanted to invite you to join me," Noel muttered, a bittersweet smile on his face.Amora could see his genui

    Regis's eyes were fixed on his phone screen, his cold expression seemingly capable of freezing the very ground he stood upon.Mark could only swallow hard, not daring to utter a single word. His boss's mood had soured dramatically after receiving a message moments earlier.Just moments ago, as they left the Royal Dragon office building, Regis's face had been beaming. Mark had no idea that a single photo sent by Pedro could transform that serenity into a rumbling storm!Regis's gaze remained glued to the photo of a man he knew all too well—Noel Ritter, sitting with his wife. Regis truly couldn't believe that Amora would bring another man to the lunch he had been eagerly anticipating since that morning.Regis's grip on his phone tightened as he saw Amora's smile directed at Noel in the photo sent by one of his subordinates.The heat of anger spread through his chest, making Regis feel like he would explode if he didn't read the message Amora had just sent him.‘Want us to get acquainted

    “You’ve changed, Amora.”Noel's voice snapped Amora out of her focus on her phone. She had been anxiously waiting for a message from Regis, but nothing had come through about her husband.Her brows furrowed as she glanced at Noel. “Changed how, Noel?”Noel's lips curved into a perfect smile as he saw the confusion on her face. "I mean, you've become beautiful, Amora," he teased.Amora cleared her throat awkwardly, turning her gaze away from him. “That’s a lame joke, Noel,” she replied.“I’m not joking. I still can’t get over how stunning you looked at the party the other night. I barely recognized you,” Noel said earnestly, his eyes fixed on her.Amora wasn’t sure how to react other than offering a faint smile. “Come on. Flirting like this isn’t your style, Noel,” she teased.Noel chuckled softly. Even he found it strange, but he wanted to be honest about how he saw her.“Alright,” Noel conceded, taking a sip of his frappe.“By the way, what are you up to these days, Amora? I keep for

    “Who dared to anger someone as important as you? Do they not know who you are?" Noel teased, lightly patting Regis's arm.Amora nervously bit her lip. She wanted to shut Noel up for not understanding the situation. Although Regis's face showed a faint smile, Amora knew that her husband was actually trying to hold back his anger.Amora felt strange about herself. She didn't know when she could understand Regis's thoughts just by looking at his expression even though the man didn't say a word.Amora suspected that her husband's anger was related to Noel. However, she still couldn't guess what Regis really wanted to do."Young Master Lorenzo, I didn't expect you and Noel to know each other," Amora said, finally having a chance to speak.She tried to match Regis's act, pretending along with him, but her effort only seemed to darken his mood further.‘What’s his problem? Isn’t he the one who wanted to pretend?’ Amora grumbled internally, frustrated by his reaction."He's my cousin, Amora,"

    Noel warmly accepted Laura's handshake when she extended her hand and introduced himself. "Noel Ritter," he said."I know who you are, Sir Ritter," Laura quipped with a wide smile."Oh, really?" Noel looked surprised by the comment from the girl he had just met today."You probably don’t remember me, but I was one of the volunteers with you after the earthquake in Peru four years ago," Laura explained.Back then, Laura was still a university student chosen to represent her school in delivering charity donations to earthquake victims. It was during that mission she noticed Noel tirelessly treating the injured without taking a break.Laura admired him, though they never got acquainted. She had no idea that this was the same Mr. Ritter her friends frequently talked about.Recently, Beatrix Torres—Noel Ritter’s mother—had become a hot topic among prominent families.

    Two young men, Mark and Xavier, stepped out of the bathroom inside Madam Lorenzo's cabin. They exhaled simultaneously, relieved as they finally breathed in the fresh air outside the cramped space."Has the big boss left?" Mark asked as he scanned the surroundings."Relax, it's clear now," Alicia replied, patting her brother's assistant on the shoulder."Thank goodness. I thought I’d have to spend the night in there," Xavier joked, making Alicia giggle.Just minutes earlier, Mark and Xavier had visited Winny Silverlake. They had explained in detail how Diego had locked up Regis and asked the old woman for help in getting him out.Right as they finished their discussion, Diego and his wife happened to pass by Madam Lorenzo's cabin, prompting the elderly woman to call her son and daughter-in-law in for a talk.Mark and Xavier had no choice but to hide in the bathroom, fearing that Diego would find out they had tattled to Madam Lorenzo."Did the Master agree to listen, Miss?" Mark asked f

    Madam Lorenzo’s chest rose and fell rapidly. Her clenched fist tightened around the armrest of the sofa. She never expected her son to be so brazen, openly defying her opinion.Seeing her mother-in-law’s dazed expression, Liliana, who had been sitting beside her, quickly grabbed a glass of water and handed it to the older woman. Madam Lorenzo took slow sips, trying to suppress the storm of anger raging inside her.“Mother, please don’t let this get to you. You need to think about your health too,” Liliana urged, speaking for the first time since the confrontation began.Liliana looked genuinely concerned about the elderly woman’s condition. Though she didn’t fully understand why her husband was opposing his mother, she still tried to ease the tension.“Maybe Diego is just worried that Miss Lysander’s kindness might be taken advantage of, Mother. Our family is constantly in the public eye, and there are plenty of people who would love to exploit that,” Liliana said, unintentionally sou

    "A woman like that?"Madam Lorenzo's eyes narrowed sharply. She clearly didn't like the cynical tone in her son's voice."And what kind of woman do you want for this family, Diego? Regis wants to get married and has found someone who suits him—isn't that something to be grateful for? You and Liliana have been searching for a woman for him all this time, but what have you accomplished?" Madam Lorenzo snapped, throwing a sharp glance at her daughter-in-law.Liliana Ritter could only purse her lips slightly, unable to refute her mother-in-law's words.However, Diego wasn’t about to back down so easily. "Mother, I know you want Regis to settle down. But we can’t just let him marry any woman."Madam Lorenzo scoffed. "Are you saying I don’t know how to choose properly?"Alicia held back a smile. She could see how powerless her father was every time he argued with her grandmother."That’s not what I meant, Mother. But we need to find a woman with a clear background. Did you know that she was

    "Damn it! How long does he plan to keep me locked up in here?"A low growl, followed by a sharp wince, slipped from Regis' lips. He was still trapped inside the executive cabin, his current prison.Not a single drop of water had been given to him by his father’s men, leaving his throat painfully dry. His appearance was a mess from repeatedly trying to break down the door. Unfortunately, the door was sturdy, and all he had managed to do was injure himself in the process.The room had a balcony overlooking the open river. Regis could jump from there, but the risk was too high—especially with the strong currents rushing below on this late night.As much as he wanted to escape, he wasn’t about to throw his life away. He needed another plan."Young Master, I'm sorry. We should've been more careful earlier," Albert muttered from across the room.A while ago, Albert and Pedro, along with several others, had attempted to fight off the guards stationed outside. But they had been utterly defeat

    'No! I can't give up just like that. I can't make Regis worry. He must be fighting on his own right now. Ray needs me too. There's no time for me to keep feeling sorry for myself.'The light in Amora's eyes, which had dimmed, sparkled once more. She quickly wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and straightened her posture.Even though she had felt weak and helpless just moments ago, she reminded herself that she couldn't just sit there crying. At the very least, she had to find out what was happening with Regis.Worry was written all over Amora's face. She was sure Regis was in a powerless situation, especially since Diego had control over her husband's phone.Determined, Amora picked up her phone and searched for Albert’s contact. But he was unreachable.'Albert must be in trouble too,' she guessed.She then tried calling Estelle. She was certain her friend was still there and might be able to provide some information.It didn’t take long for Estelle to pick up. “Hello, Amor

    “Have you heard from Regis yet?”Noel’s question momentarily pulled Amora out of her thoughts. She shook her head slightly and let out a weary sigh.“He might have been forced to stay there,” Amora guessed.“But he should’ve at least contacted you, Amora.”Noel’s words hit the mark. She had been waiting for any news from Regis or Albert, but neither had sent a message or called.She had considered reaching out to Regis first but worried that her call might interrupt him while he was busy speaking with guests.Amora had heard that the Royal Dragon’s anniversary celebration would last all night. The guests would only be disembarking from the ship the following morning, making tonight the event's grand finale.As the son and heir of the Lorenzo family, Regis was expected to stay. Even though Amora wished he could be by her side, she couldn’t afford to be selfish. At the very least, she felt relieved knowing that Rayden was in stable condition and only needed time to recover.Still, the s

    "Amora, you should get some rest. Let me watch over Ray."Noel's voice broke Amora's thoughts as she sat by Rayden’s bedside. Her son looked much better after receiving the best medical care. Exhausted, Rayden had fallen into a deep sleep, and Amora stayed by his side.Seeing the fatigue etched on Amora's face, Noel felt a pang of sympathy. She hadn’t left Rayden’s side from the moment they rushed to the hospital until the doctors finished treating him."It’s fine. I’m worried he’ll look for me when he wakes up," Amora murmured, her voice hoarse.Noel let out a quiet sigh. He grabbed a bottle of water he had bought from a vending machine earlier and handed it to her."At least drink some water. Your lips are dry," Noel coaxed gently.Amora turned to him, offering a small smile before accepting the bottle. She took slow sips, instantly feeling relief in her parched throat."Thank you, Noel. You must be tired too. You should go home. I can manage here," Amora said sincerely.Noel's lips

    "Mr.Volker, I'm sorry, but I can't do that," Albert stammered, swallowing hard. He could see the anger radiating from the leader of the Golden Snake, but he couldn't quite understand the reason behind it.Hearing the commotion at the stern of the yacht, Mark Carter quickly approached and saw Alejandro intimidating his colleague."Damn it!" Alejandro growled, shoving Albert forcefully, making him stumble backward.Mark rushed forward, catching Albert before he could fall."Thanks, Mark," Albert exhaled in relief.Mark remained silent, his eyes shifting to Alejandro Volker, who was repeatedly tapping his cane against the helicopter pad, his frustration and disappointment evident.Summoning his courage, Mark approached the leader of the Golden Snake. "Mr. Volker, is there something wrong? This area is restricted. I must ask you to return inside," he said respectfully.Alejandro's sharp eyes narrowed at Mark, displeased by the audacity of his words. He knew his actions had drawn attention

    "What’s going on?"Several guests were startled when they saw a twin-engine helicopter landing on the helipad at the stern of the cruise ship.The helicopter was significantly larger than the usual models, as it was a multipurpose type. The ship's helipad was spacious enough to accommodate such an aircraft. This grand and luxurious vessel had been designed precisely to meet its owner's needs.The unexpected arrival of the helicopter added to the lively atmosphere at the bow of the ship. At that moment, many guests were enjoying the spectacular fireworks exploding beautifully in the distant night sky, set up to enhance the evening’s celebration.Noticing the helicopter, the guests lounging in the area began rushing toward the stern, eager to find out what was happening."Isn’t that the woman Young Master Lorenzo acknowledged earlier?" One of the guests remarked upon seeing Amora walking toward the helipad.This guest had witnessed Regis' declaration earlier and instantly recognized Amo
