“Oh, don’t worry, Dad. I think I know what I can offer him in exchange for the job instead of money,” Jayden said, smiling slyly, already having a pending visit in mind.With that in mind, they continued talking a bit more before heading to bed for the night.On the other hand, Gabriel was furious. He had just gotten out of prison because he’d only now managed to get released since his idiot assistant took forever to post bail and get him out of there.“Tch… I never thought I’d set foot in such a disgusting place,” he said once they were out on the street.“Hopefully, this time you’ll learn your lesson, Boss. And honestly, this was your fault.”“My fault?”“Harassing a minor is a serious offense.”“I wasn’t harassing him. I just wanted to talk to him.”“And that looks suspicious because you’re nothing to that boy.”“Tch… whatever.”“So, and...?” the assistant asked, worried.“And… what?” Gabriel asked, frowning.“Did… did you tell him?”“Oh, that… yeah, I told him, but it

Extra 20: Request“Hey babe, guess what,” Brandon said, reading the message he’d just received from Jayden.“What is it?” she asked as she turned off the stove flame since she was cooking at that moment.“Your special arrangement is a done deal,” he said, showing her his phone.“Aw… my man always delivers,” she said playfully, giving him a kiss on the lips. “What do you think he needs? This would be the second time he’s asked you for something as Vox.”“I think it’s probably something related to his company, considering Deborah also asked us to investigate it.”“That’s true. In that case, I’ll get a head start and do a little digging on Gates Construction,” she said, taking off her apron. “Alright, put your phone away. Lunch is ready.”“Haha, I’m on it,” he said as he walked over to the sink to wash his hands. “And you know, it’s most likely to be about that. Even in my wildest dreams, I can’t picture Jayden asking me to kill someone.”“That guy deserves it, though. I heard he

He was scared, yet excited at the same time. This showed that this guy wouldn’t let him down and would fulfill his request.“Sorry for the wait,” Gabriel looked up and saw a blond man with some red streaks in his hair enter the room, hiding part of his identity behind a black mask adorned with gemstones and a few feathers. “I wasn’t expecting a visit from the millionaire who suddenly showed up and monopolized the city’s construction industry. Quite an impressive feat… something even Eric Cooper himself couldn’t pull off.”“Wow, it seems like information is your thing.”“It’s not the only thing I handle,” he said, smiling slightly, his eyes turning serious and scaring Gabriel for a moment. “And as you can imagine, I’m a bit curious. How did you find the Great Shadow of Light?” he asked, sitting down to face Gabriel.“Why do you need to know my source?”“Curiosity, and also to send a gift to that informant,” he said, reaching for one of the apples in the fruit bowl on the table and

Extra 21: Combining Requests“He’s gone,” one of the guards announced after Gabriel left.“Good. And by the way, great job, Barbara. You really impressed me with your speed,” Brandon said as he took off his mask.“Thank you for the opportunity, boss,” she replied. “Hehe, though I did feel a bit nervous with that old guy staring at me.”“Don’t be. You were perfect with your sensual movements. And besides, we were all ready to protect you if that guy had tried anything weird,” Laura said as she emerged from her hiding spot behind one of the large paintings on the wall, holding a sniper rifle in her hands.“Thank you, ma’am,” said Barbara, blushing slightly.“Alright, you can go change and have lunch now. I’ll see you this afternoon to continue your training,” Laura said, extending her hand.Barbara handed back the dagger and said her goodbyes before heading off to join her other colleagues for lunch.“You were right, she’s a very talented girl,” Brandon said as he put away his ma

“Ouch… that hurts. But yeah, I’m under a dry law.”“Poor you.”“IMy old man’s on medication because he caught a cold recently, so all the alcohol’s been hidden away for his health.”“I see. I hope your old man gets better soon.”“Yeah, he’ll be fine in a few days. You know he’s tough as nails, hahaha,” Brandon said, taking a sip of his water.“So… why did Laura kidnap my daughter?”“Well, I have something important to tell you, too.”“I’m listening.”“I want to raise the agreed price.”“What…?” Jayden looked at him in surprise before slightly furrowing his brow. “Oh no… now that’s just taking advantage, Brandon. I already agreed to renovate your entire kitchen with all the modern appliances and gadgets Laura wants, including that new special oven with a lock… which is already quite a sum and seems fair to me.”“Yes, but let’s say something very interesting happened a little while ago that you’d probably want to know about, and it comes with a price tag.”“Really?

Extra 22: Reunion with the PastThat night, when Jayden got home, he waited until the kids were asleep before talking to his parents about everything he had discovered that day.“They’re asleep now,” Deborah mentioned. She had just put the twins to bed since they had just fallen asleep.“Coffee?” Jayden offered, handing her a cup.“Thanks,” she said, taking the drink.“Haha, they took a while to fall asleep today,” Samantha commented.“Yeah, Tatiana and Danielle let them nap a lot in the afternoon since we were all busy with paperwork.”“Haha, the busy months are starting,” Jayden said, knowing that after eight years of marriage, they were both familiar with each other’s business routines.“Yes, but this time it didn’t feel as overwhelming because Tatiana’s son has been a great help. You know, I’m thinking of offering him a permanent contract with the company once he graduates.”“Aw... you sound just like us when we used to try to recruit those talented young interns who joine

“Let me think...” Samantha said, frowning. “If I remember correctly, we broke up because of his mother. He was raised by a single mom, and she manipulated him a lot. She didn’t like me either, as she saw me as a gold-digging bitch only after their family’s money.”“What? Was that woman stupid or what?” Eric said, surprised, never imagining that someone would call his wife that.“Why do you say that, Dad?” Jayden asked.“Well, your mom couldn’t have been a gold digger because your grandparents had plenty of money. In fact, I borrowed some of it to grow the business and turn it into the powerhouse it is today.”“Really?” Jayden said, astonished.“Haha, yes, son. Actually, you were very little, but many times my parents took you in because they said they had more free time to look after you than Jayden’s parents, who were with us at the company.”“Oh... that’s why I have more baby photos with them.”“Hm... My in-laws were great people in many ways. Naturally, when I started making

Extra 23: NoAt that moment, Gabriel was doing the math and moving money around his accounts to get the amount that man had demanded to bring him his beloved.He then looked up and saw the old photo on his desk that showed his mother and him as a young man.“God... see? I told you, you were wrong. Samantha was never interested in my inheritance... She loved me sincerely because her parents weren't as poor as you thought. In fact, they helped that idiot grow his fortune.”He really loved and hated his mother for everything she did.He loved her because she supported him, cared for him, pampered him... she gave him all the love a mother could offer her son. But... At the same time, he hated her because she ruined his life.It was her fault that he lost the love of his life simply because she didn't accept her as a daughter-in-law.Even though he begged and told her that Samantha wasn’t like that, that damn woman managed to blackmail him with her maternal love, claiming she knew wh

Extra 39: Deborah and JamesAfter lunch, and taking advantage of when his father taking his little siblings to their extracurricular activities, James sought out his mom to talk with her.“Mom,” he called out when he saw her in her study, reading some papers.“Hey, come in,” she said, looking up and setting aside the documents for a moment.“More work?”“Not exactly. These are the reports of the current buildings for sale in the city.”“Huh… are you already looking into that?”“Well, son, your sister graduates next year, and a year is not a lot of time to start a company from scratch.”“Will it already be furnished for her?” he asked, taking the documents to read them.“Yes, that’s why I want to buy a warehouse to remodel or a vacant lot so you and your dad can work your magic to build it and make it just like Elizabeth wants.”“It’s a project I can’t wait to start,” James said excitedly.“Your little siblings are also helping me, looking into sewing stores to buy industrial

Extra 38: A Father’s FearsHonestly, it was a strange conversation for James, one he never thought he’d have… in fact, not even in his wildest dreams did he imagine having this kind of interaction with the man who was supposedly his biological father.After telling him a bit about his school life, James paid the bill and said goodbye to Roger, as he had to get back to the office; he didn’t want to be away from work for too long.When he entered the conference room, he saw his father talking to some other architects.“Great, we’re all set then,” Jayden said, dismissing them. “Son, how did it go?” he asked as James approached him.“Fine, but it was weird.”“So... has he started to feel his age?”“I think so,” James replied, making a face.“And what did he want?”“Well, he just started talking to me, apologizing for being absent, and now he wants us to meet up to talk because he wants to get to know me,” James said, scratching his head. “I don’t know… it seemed odd that he wants

Extra 37: A Late Talk Part 2“Wow, sorry for the confusion.”“Don’t worry about it. My family supported me, and thanks to learning the truth, I understood why we had three grandfathers.”“I imagine you became an architect because of Jayden.”“That’s right. My motivation was seeing how his drawings came to life… it excited me to the point where I wanted to do the same, and as the days went by, that desire grew stronger, so I decided to make it a reality,” he said, his excitement evident in his words. “Though I also saw that Uncle did something similar by turning his sketches into beautiful jewelry, but that didn’t impress me as much.”“I see, but didn’t my dad teach you the basics of the company?”“Yes, Grandpa showed me the trade,” James said with a smile. “In fact, I’m a good appraiser, and I know how to make jewelry because Uncle also taught me the basics of jewelry design and creation. But I see that as a hobby because the only jewelry I’ve made has been for my mom, my sisters

Extra 37: A Late Talk Part 1“I’ll ask you again. What are you doing here?” James questioned, frowning slightly.“James… I…” Roger stammered nervously, his words catching in his throat and refusing to come out.“Are you here to apologize on behalf of your daughter?”“Something like that,” he said, finally managing to speak, though he made a face. “Would you let me talk to you?”“To me?” James asked, confused, pointing to himself. “About what?”“Can I invite you for a drink so we can talk?”“What do you want with my son?” At that moment, Roger saw his longtime rival approaching and standing next to the young man.“Jayden, please let me talk to James,” Roger pleaded.The now platinum-blonde looked confused at his rival. It was the first time Roger had called him by his name, and he could see that Roger seemed genuinely sorry and defeated. Jayden let out a sigh. “James, go with him.”“What?” James looked at him, surprised and confused.“Are you serious?” Roger said, a note of h

I think whatever happened last night should have made the situation clear.”“But…”“They no longer see me as family, and they never recognized you as such, so just forget about it because it’s only the three of us, no one else.”“No…”“Cassandra, enough,” her mother scolded. “I told you yesterday not to go, and all you did was humiliate yourselves in public,” she said, looking her daughter in the eyes. “Grow up already. You lost that boy because you chased something that

Extra 36: Late Regrets Part 1Roger didn’t return home for the rest of the night. He ignored the cries of his ‘daughter’ as he headed to the nearest bar to have a drink and try to clear his mind.Seeing his father defeated and exhausted had made him stop and think.While sipping his third beer, he raised his gaze and saw his reflection in the mirror behind the bar, realizing that an old man was staring back at him... which scared him. He now looked at his hands, which had more wrinkles than he remembered. When had he changed so much?His once beautiful hair was now streaked with gray, his face showed his age, and he had dark circles under his dull eyes.When had he gotten so old?And why did he look like this?He was supposed to age gracefully, but that wasn’t the case... because what he saw in that mirror was a shell of the successful man he once was.He thought back to James. That boy had surpassed him in height; he was the version of himself Roger had always wanted to be: ta

He was Roger’s spitting image, giving the latter the same hateful look Roger himself wore.“I should ask you the same thing, sir. Who do you think you are, crashing a private event?” James asked.Roger was about to respond, but…“What’s the meaning of this?” George asked, approaching them.“Grandpa, they attacked me, and…” Cassandra started to say.“Miss, don’t call my grandpa ‘Grandpa,’” declared Howard.“Tom, call security,” Eric ordered. “Get these two out of the party.”Among the guests, a blond young man recognized Cassandra but didn’t go to help her because his parents didn’t allow it. They didn’t want to end up caught in the middle of the problem and become collateral damage, nor did they want to fall out
