Freyja asked in reply, “What would you choose to do then? To act shamelessly or to die?”Colton pushed her aside and opened the French windows, and the wind that blew in calmed him down a little. “You should be glad that that b*stard from the Knowles didn’t close the window.”Freyja sat on the bed. “It seems that we can only stay here for one night.”Colton did not say anything.After freezing in place for a long time, he no longer heard any movement coming from behind, so he turned around and saw Freyja. She was lying on her side and had fallen asleep on the bed.Colton leaned against the window and stared at her thoughtfully.Early in the morning, a ray of light shined into the room.After Freyja woke up, she sat up, turned her head, and caught a glimpse of Colton. He was sitting on the couch, staring attentively at the computer screen.Her gaze then shifted onto the laptop on his thigh, and she then looked intently.‘Isn’t that my laptop?‘Did he go back next door while I
Colton crossed his arms. “You actually have a brain and know how to use it.”Freyja choked on her own words. “Unlike you, you’re just all mouth!”Nollace’s sudden peal of laughter interrupted the atmosphere. “I’ll definitely be fine. If their goal is the two of us, then their objective is nothing more than to capture Daisie and me together, then kill Daisie in front of me. And if I were unable to do anything to salvage that, that would anger the Goldmanns even more.”‘Daisie is my girlfriend. Being unable to protect my own girlfriend is the key that will make the Goldmanns furious.’Colton walked up to the window with a sullen expression. “No matter how things will turn out, all we need to do now is to find out who’s the person behind the curtains.”In a location not far away from the resort, a van was parked at the roadside.The man sitting in the driver’s seat was smoking a cigarette and staring at the entrance of the resort.He did not take his eyes off the entrance until a y
Nollace asked Edison, who was disguised as the driver, to pull the man up. He then grabbed the man by his jawline and lifted his face up. His eyes looked extremely gloomy. “May I know who Mr. Wansell is working with?”The man avoided direct eye contact subconsciously. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”“It doesn’t matter. Even if you don’t tell me now, I‘ve already found out about the person who’s giving you orders from behind the curtains. You’re welcome to continue to keep their identity a secret for them.”Nollace smirked, but there was not even a hint of hilarity in his eyes. “If you had only offended me, I’d be able to forgive you right here and right now. But you’ve offended the Goldmanns. I don’t think even your master can save your *ss from the deep sh*t that you’re in.”The leader of the gang shivered slightly.‘We must deliver the results after we’ve gotten paid. However, now that the mission has failed, going back might not be the best thing to do too.However,
Rocky laughed as he said, “You’re so brutal to cut off their escape.”Zenovia’s eyes were cold. “Let’s wait for the good news.”At a sanatorium in a small town somewhere…Edison waited in front of the door with two men in black. Nollace and Colton were in the study, having a serious discussion with the director of the sanatorium.Almost all the patients in the courtyard were from all walks of life. Some were reading, some were zoning out, and some were talking to each other.It was calm and clean.Daisie sat on the stairs with her head resting on her hands in thought.Freyja walked next to her and sat down. “This short holiday isn’t very fun.”Daisie sighed. “Who knew this was going to happen?”She would be lying to say she wasn’t upset. They finally had a few days of holiday, but this happened.Nollace and Colton walked out, then Daisie stood up and heard Nollace say, “The director is going to let us stay here for a night.”Freyja was surprised. “Why don’t we just go back
Nollace looked at her and asked, “Do you wish that I could remember?”“Of course, there are debts to settle,” muttered Daisie.He leaned in closer. “What debts?”Daisie looked away and said, “I won’t tell you.”He smiled. “Alright, just keep it in mind. I’ll accept any punishment for that.”Daisie chuckled. “I’m not going to punish you.”“You’ll feel bad.”She got up and cheekily said, “Yes, I will, so you’re not allowed to sleep with me anymore.”Nollace paused before chuckling. “That’s too cruel.”Daisie was already halfway up the stairs when she turned back and said, “I’m going to annoy you!”The next day…They said their goodbyes to the director and left the place.Daisie kept yawning ever since she got into the car. Freyja sat close to her and whispered, “Did you two sneak up for some fun last night?”Daisie pushed her away. “No.”“When I fell asleep, it was already after 1:00 a.m., but you weren’t back yet. Tsk, I was wondering why you like sneaking around so much.”
Zenovia was waiting for news and made a few phone calls, but none of them went through. She sat on the couch with a pit in her stomach. Suddenly, the door opened, and the server came in. Zenovia stood up and wanted to say something but saw Diana showing up with some men, so her expression changed. “Mrs. Knwoles?”Her guards went up after seeing the people. “What’s the meaning of this?”Diana sat on the couch and said, “You don’t need to ask me what you’ve done.”Zenovia tried hard to remain calm. ‘Did she find out?‘And the calls that never went through, were they caught!?’Zenovia tried to remain calm. “I know you have a bone to pick with me, but I don’t know what I’ve done to make you so hostile toward me.”“Why are you so annoying? Aren’t you self-conscious?” Diana stood up and went straight to the point. “You think your plans would work by putting my daughter-in-law in danger to force my son to compromise? You’re pathetic.”Zenovia shook with anger. “I’m pathetic? Nollac
Unfortunately, no one knew the truth. At the police department…Zenovia was agitated in the interrogation room. “You don’t have evidence that I did anything!”The female police officer sitting across from her opened his notebook. “What if we could present evidence?”She was shocked. The police officer placed the notebook in front of her. “The suspect has pointed out that you were behind it. We have a recording of it too.”Zenovia was stunned. They had recorded it!When she was arrested, she had guessed that the three men were caught, but she had only verbally agreed she would give them $100,000 Even if they ratted her out, they had never received the money, so she would know how to distance herself from them. Her hope of getting away was shattered when she found out that they had recorded their conversation.Her eyes were red when she barked, “I’m not the mastermind! It was Rocky Wansell! He planned everything!”Yes, she should say Rocky helped her! She wasn’t going down
The Skull Club was a gang from the new West District. They were a huge gang that spanned from Moriwch to Stoslo and usually collected protection money for the nightclubs and were giving out illegal loans on the side.The club was made up of outlaws and would do anything as long as the price was right. Most importantly, they wouldn’t betray the people who hired them. That was their rule.Donald chuckled, then slowly drank his whiskey. “Great, Bear, get someone to follow Young Mr. Knowles around.”The man named Bear was curious. “Young Mr. Knowles? Aren’t you working together?”Donald kept his eyes on the glass before looking back. “There’s no such thing as a long-term partner. I don’t trust him.”A week after Zenovia was arrested, she was sent back to Haniston for her trial. She was sentenced to five years in prison and two years of probation because of attempted murder. She was barred from leaving the country forever.She went from a highly regarded upper-class lady to a convict.
“Daisie.” Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. “You look so pretty today.”“Thank you,” Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. “I propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.”Daisie clinked glasses with her. “Same goes for you and Morrison.”After the toast, Cameron walked up to Daisie with Waylon. Behind them were Freyja, Colton, Maisie, and Nolan.Maisie raised her hand and caressed her on the cheek. “You were great earlier today.”She giggled. “Really?”Nolan added, “You’ll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.”Daisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. “Dad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisie’s hand.”“Consider yourself lucky.” Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. “You’d better treat my daughter well from now on.”Nollace glanced at Daisie. “Don’t worry. She’ll forever be my one and only.”Maisie chuck
In order to make way for the wedding carriage, other vehicles had been forbidden from accessing the route from the palace to the cathedral.Daisie looked out of the carriage—the streets were crowded with citizens, and they were all there to witness this grand scene.Nollace, sitting on the side, was wearing a double-breasted dark blue military jacket. He looked tall and broad, and there were two St. Patrick’s Stars on his epaulets, one on each side, a full set of medals on his chest, and other complicated decorations.He held the back of Daisie’s hand and smiled suddenly. “You have sweaty palms.”Daisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, “I’m nervous.”He lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “I’m here, so don’t be nervous. Just take it easy.”Daisie’s gaze landed on his wedding jacket. “You look nice in this uniform.”Nollace chuckled. “And my bride looks stunning too.”Arriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
“By the way, where’s Cameron?” asked Morrison.Waylon replied, “She’s accompanying her father on a stroll. I’m going to go meet them already, so I’ll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.”After saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. “He’s changed now that he has a wife.”“You’re speaking as if you haven’t changed.” Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. “Hey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.”Maisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. “Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. “Have you finished catching up?”“Of course. Didn’t you want to go to the Hathaways’ villa with Dad in the afternoon?”Nolan smiled. “I was waiting for you. We’re just going over to have a meal together.”Quincy walked up to Saydie’s side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. “Then I’ll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my mom’s jewelry company and design.”Nollace hugged her from behind. “You can do anything as long as you like it.”…The members of the Goldmanns arrived in Yaramoor two days before the wedding and stayed in the hotel arranged by Nollace. The royal family had reserved the entire hotel for receiving distinguished guests from Zlokova who came to attend the wedding.Members from the Bouchers and the Lucases showed up, and Sunny was also present.There were also some familiar faces from the Zlokovian entertainment industry. Hannah, Amy, James, and Charlie, who were close friends with Daisie, all came.Leah and Morrison were also on the invitation list.When Maisie came to the restaurant, the waiter led her into a private room.As soon as she saw the man sitting inside, she smiled and exclaimed, “Godfather!”Strix slowly turned around.She had not seen him for
The rest of the people laughed.The night came, and the entire city was shrouded in a mist of neon light. Daisie and Nollace returned to Taylorton after having their dinner.Her hair was wet as she got out of the shower. Nollace took over her towel and helped her to dry her hair.She sat in front of her dresser and looked at the person behind her through the mirror. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth as she said, “Nolly, I’m really looking forward to our wedding.”“Really?” Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. “I’m looking forward to it too.”“I can say that my life is perfect now, right? Since I can marry and walk down the aisle with the man I love the most.”He laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. “You know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.”Daisie turned her head around. “What are your wishes?”“Marry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.”She was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
“Yeah, it’s true,” replied Zephir.“It seems like you’ve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.” Naomi patted his shoulder. “I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.” He smiled at her but did not say anything.…Soon, it was the end of the month. Their vacation had come to an end, and they returned to Bassburgh.Maisie and Nolan were waiting for them in the courtyard. After getting out of the car, Daisie ran up to them. “Mommy! Daddy!”She hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. “You’re an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.”She smiled back at them and said, “But I know I’ll always be your kid in your eyes.”Maisie chuckled and looked at the other people. “It seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.”Freyja and Cameron went to look for their kids after they went into the house. Charm and her two cousins were staying in the same room. All of them were sl
Nollace looked at them. “What a coincidence.”“Morrison and I were here earlier than you guys,” said Leah. “We only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.”Daisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, “Then you should stay a few more days with us.”After Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. “She’s my sister-in-law, Freyja, and she’s my sister. Her name is Daisie.”“I’ve seen them before at your wedding,” said Morrison. “Your sister is my wife’s classmate. She has told me before.”“Since when did I become your wife? There’s a chance I may not marry you in the future,” said Leah.“We’re already engaged. If you don’t want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?” Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, “Engaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?” Leah cleared her throat and replied, “Well, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, “$10 for three chances.”“$10 for three chances only? That’s expensive,” commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, “I’m the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.” Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, “Let's just give him the money. It isn't easy for them to set up a stall here anyway, so let's have some fun.”After that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, “Please give us six hoops.”The stall owner gave her six hoops. She had her eyes set on a bracelet. Although she knew it was fake, it was rather beautiful. She held a hoop and threw it toward the bracelet.However, she did not get it.She threw another two hoops at the bracelet, but her attempts failed, much to her chagrin. She had only three hoops left.Seeing that Daisie was prepared to give up, Cameron took over the rest of the hoops in her hand and said, “Leave it to me.”She squinted and aimed at the bracelet. After that, she threw the hoop at it an
The night of the old town was silent. The air was filled with nothing but the humming of insects. There was a lamp hanging outside of the tent on the grass. The atmosphere was quiet. Daisie was tossing and turning in the sleeping bag as sleep just wouldn't come to her. Suddenly, an arm appeared across her waist as she was brought into a chest. “What’s the matter? You can’t sleep?”“Yeah…” She buried her head in his chest and said, “I want to go to take a leak, but I’m a little bit scared.”Nollace kissed her forehead and said, “I’ll go with you then.”Both of them came out of the tent. Nollace took a flashlight and led Daisie to a row of trees in the distance. Daisie turned her head and said, “You wait for me here.”Nollace nodded. “Just shout my name if you need anything.”She walked into the forest and stopped in front of a tree not far away from Nollace.After she had done her business, she hastily got out of the forest and held tightly to Nollace’s arm. “Alright, let’s go
