Katrina didn’t have influence or power. And without Eugene’s protection, it would be easy for the Chases to get back at her.Mr. Zhivkov would be the best person to do it.A waiter walked in and whispered something into Mr. Zhivkov’s ear.He stopped trying to light up a cigar and frowned. “Who is it?”The waiter said, “I’m not sure, but they seem to be powerful and asked specifically to see you.”Katrina heard that and turned pale.‘Someone powerful requested to see Mr. Zhivkov? Who?’Mr. Zhivkov placed his cigar on the ashtray, got up, and followed the waiter out.Katrina couldn’t help but hold her fist.A few bodyguards in black stood outside the first VIP room. The waiter said something to one of them, and they opened the door.Mr. Zhivkov became alert but thinking that Glitz had complicated backing, he didn’t make a scene and walked in calmly.The room was dimly lit. The man sitting on the couch had broad shoulders, his navy blue suit looking crisp.Half of his face was
Furthermore, Mr. Zhivkov had to rely on his father-in-law’s family. He couldn’t let his wife find out about his affair.He said, “I’m always true to my word. She was just a woman from a club. I won’t interfere with her issues with the Chases.” Then he left.Quincy walked in, and the lights turned on in the room.Maisie removed her mask, walked back to the couch, sat down next to Nolan, and winked playfully. “I didn’t think that Katrina would get hold of Peter Zhivkov, who had beef with the Chases. Do you think he will take this personally for threatening him?”Nolan tilted his head, looked at her, and chuckled. “That wasn’t a threat.”Quincy said, “Don’t worry, ma’am. We used fake identities here. Peter would probably just think that the Chases sent us.”It would be out of place for Nolan to get involved with the Chases’ affairs because he had nothing to do with them, and he was a businessman like Peter. The biggest benefit between two businessmen would be their relationship. N
Quincy nodded. “It wasn’t Mr. Zhivkov’s room. The person next door seems to know you.”Nolan squinted and said after a moment, “I guess someone knows that I’m here tonight.”He hugged Maisie, then kissed her forehead. “Wait for me here. Don’t run around, okay?”Maisie hesitated before nodding. “Come back soon.”He smiled and left with Quincy. Maisie sat in the room alone with some bodyguards outside. Barbara called and asked, “Are you at Glitz?”“Yes, I met Peter Zhivkov, the man that Katrina is currently involved with.”Barbara was silent for some time, then said, “I know Peter. My dad closed down his spa once. So Katrina is trying to get him to do the dirty work.”“He promised that he wouldn’t help her.” Maisie leaned back on the couch. “His wife has a tight leash on him, so he probably wouldn’t want to offend the Chases because of a lover.”“I just got the news that my dad will be stepping down after a week.”Maisie sat up straight. “After a week? So soon?”Barbara confi
The wine bottle shattered with a loud bang. The burly man fell to the floor and covered the bleeding wound on his head. The other people were startled by her bold action, and none of them dared to approach her.Peter cursed out loud and shouted, “What the hell are you losers doing? She’s just a woman. Go get her!”Maisie made her move first. Although she could take two or three of them down, there were eight of them left.She was wearing a pair of stilettos. Soon, she started to feel exhausted, and the floor was littered with broken bottles.A man saw his chance and pounced at her, pinning her on the couch. Maisie bent her knee and delivered a fierce kick, and the man fell down in a curled-up position, covering his crotch in pain.Another two strong men grabbed her and pinned her back on the couch. Peter barked out his order, “Remove her mask!”Katrina watched as they moved on to remove Maisie's mask. Her fingers had stabbed into her arms that were crossed around her chest. Jus
Peter replied reverently, “Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Boucher.”After that, he turned to the two injured strong men and ordered, “Take this b*tch to the boss of the Glitz Club. Ask him to teach her a good lesson.”“I’m sorry, Mr. Zhivkov. Please, I won’t do it again! Please!” The two men grabbed Katrina up from the floor and pulled her out of the room.After that, Peter brought his men and left the private room.Nolan and Quincy soon appeared outside of the room. His face darkened when he saw the mess in the private room and the frightened Maisie, who was standing in front.He marched toward Maisie in strides and grabbed her into his arms. Securing her tightly in his embrace, he turned his head to look at Yael and said, “Thanks for your help, Uncle Boucher.”Yael dismissed him by waving his hand and said, “Don’t mention it. I hope you won’t forget the things you promised me.”Nolan came out of the Glitz Club with Maisie in his arms. The night wind was strong. He took
This matter had been bugging her for a long while. However, she had put it in the back of her mind, and she only remembered it when she saw Yael. Nolan cupped his hands around her cheek and chuckled. “Stop beating around the bush, Zee.”“No…” Maisie grabbed his wrist. “I saw Mrs. Boucher was meeting with a man. Madam Nera knows the man as well. He’s called Tristan Knowles. Oh yeah…”She suddenly remembered something and added, “Madam Nera said he's here to work with Eastwood Enterprise on an overseas project.”Eastwood Enterprise was Anthony’s company.Nolan put her back on the bed and rose to his feet. As he undid the buttons on his shirt, he said, “Tristan, huh?”Maisie lay on the bed and replied, “Yeah. That’s what Madam Nera told me.”He removed his shirt, exposing his lean body. His belt was undone, and his pants were hanging loosely across his waist.He suddenly scooped Maisie up, and she was stunned. “What are you doing?” Maisie asked.He carried her into the bathroo
Maisie lowered her head slowly.Only now she understood why Mrs. Boucher’s attitude would change drastically after knowing that she was Nolan’s wife when they bumped into each other at the Golden Garden Theater.After all, she was Nolan’s wife. Yael had never once forgotten about Natasha. No wife in this world could tolerate her husband thinking about another woman.It was just that there was something she did not understand. What was going on between Mrs. Boucher and Tristan? ‘Tristan Knowles, Natasha Knowles…’Maisie seemed to have connected the dots and asked, “Your mother’s name is Natasha Knowles… Does this mean that she is…”Nolan fixed his gaze on her face and said in a serious voice, “There are two large families in Yaramoor, the Knowles and the Hathaways. Eleven years ago, Rick Knowles, the eldest grandson of the Knowles, married the princess of Yaramoor, so the Knowles are the relatives of the royal family right now.”Nolan’s face sank slightly when he talked about th
“Tell me, please.” Maisie pressed on as she nudged his arm. He chuckled and replied, “It’s on the 23rd of October.”Maisie blinked her eyes. “Isn't that next month?”She paused for a while before saying, “I haven't spent a winter with you before. Let's go to see the snow at Coralia this winter. It'll snow at the end of October in Coralia, and I know there is a natural ski resort there. Should we bring Colton and Daisie along—”Before she could finish her sentence, Nolan got up to her silently, turned her face, and kissed her lips.He only let go of her reluctantly after a long while. As he caressed the corner of her lips with his finger, he said, “Don't worry. I'll spend the winters with you for the rest of your life from today onward.”She had spent the past three years’ winters in the City of Saint Page of Morwich. The snow was white in the winter, and he hadn't been there with her for 1,095 long, dark nights.He was the same as well.Maisie threw herself into his arms and w
“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
