The atmosphere at the resort was just like the day before; lively, with conversations happening, and people bustling around under Sam's command. Whether through Eland or Hugo, they all obeyed him, including fixing the headquarters that had been messed up by Herry's men a few days ago.
The police chief reportedly suffered significant consequences within his unit. Meanwhile, Ferdi was let off the hook, claiming he was being pressured by Jimmy Lee's side. The witness was their driver who initially refused to cooperate. But Ferdi always found a way to ensure his safety within the police force, even though it was clear that he had participated in helping Sam, along with his other friends. As for those who sided with Herry, they couldn't do much to resist.
And because of that, Hugo and Eland weren't too concerned about the police coming to visit just to check the crime scene. Whatever. They didn't care as long as there was no more trouble. Most of their visits were accompani
Beatrice's smile never wavered. These recent days have been the most enjoyable for her. She never imagined she would reach this point, where she could relax and talk comfortably with Sam. Without too much fear or hesitation, although Beatrice often restrained herself from asking what she really wanted to know."Sam," she called out while carrying a plate of grilled shrimp. It was the catch from yesterday that she patiently waited for. Ah... not for Beatrice, though. Sam's patience turned out to be short-lived. Fishing, which supposedly required patience, was mocked mercilessly by Beatrice. How could it not? After only waiting for twenty minutes at most, Sam became impatient.The result? They still relied on the supply from the nearby fishing boat. Beatrice didn't consider it a big deal. Besides, their catch was still relatively fresh. Sam didn't protest at all. Including now, where the menu consisted of grilled shrimp and squid."Is it done cooking?""It
Throughout the journey along this road, their elderly eyes did not want to wander anywhere. It remained ingrained in their memory that in the past, yes, they often passed through the road where the forest surrounded this area. Just to meet old friends. Friends who were also rivals worthy of him in business.He believed that the person was firm and had his own resilience. Unshakeable even though his son had often tried to persuade him to join him.Even until his death, he insisted on standing on his own.Just like his son now. Alfred couldn't touch him. Not even a bit could he make Sam turn away from his hardened heart. He continued to carry out what his parents left behind without any external intervention.The car stopped as there was an inspection, even though Sam's main headquarters were still far away. "What's going on?" Alfred asked David, who was sitting next to the driver."I don't know, sir. It seems like Sam's men intentionally tightened s
The report Paul provided, along with some crucial information spoken by Bella, though Gerald didn't want to believe it, Bella's words didn't stray far from all the information Paul had given. Since her arrival two days ago, the woman had been under Jimmy Lee's protection. Whatever she desired, everything was easily provided.Gerald wasn't too concerned. What mattered to him right now was how and what plan he could devise to trap Sam using Beatrice. For now, he didn't want to act rashly. Both he and Jimmy were closely monitored by Alfred. He knew that."Sir," Paul called, breaking Gerald's concentration. "Mr. Alfred's envoy has arrived."He quickly put away the report he was studying. Meeting Alfred's envoy was something he could do now. He still needed Alfred's support for many matters concerning the Eagle Wing. Meeting Alfred was just to secure his position in the eyes of the leader. Unfortunately, Alfred had been difficult to reach lately. Although some of the
As soon as he got out of the car, Sam hurriedly entered the resort. As he entered his own resort premises, there were already many black sedans with Northern Region license plates lined up; Alfred's residence.Don't ask how frustrated Sam was with Alfred's interruption at the headquarters. Eland couldn't lie when reporting the situation, especially when it concerned his interests at the headquarters. Moreover, it also involved the safety of all his subordinates. His fists clenched tightly, ready to strike Alfred. No matter what had happened between them."Boss," Valdo greeted as soon as he learned of Sam's arrival. Several other subordinates also approached, including Anne who approached Beatrice."Where's Hugo?""Accompanying Mr. Alfred."Sam scanned the surroundings. Many of Alfred's men were on guard around the resort. Fully armed. Unlike Sam's subordinates, who were relaxed but on high alert. Ready to defend themselves. In terms of numbers, the
The thumping sound of music reverberated through the air. Twinkling lights followed the rhythm created there. Smoke wafted from the numerous cigarettes released into the surrounding air. The pungent smell of alcohol blended harmoniously, creating a sense of relaxation.Especially now, right in the middle of the dance floor, where people were bustling about. Moving in sync with the beats, their hearts pounding to the rhythm. Their entire bodies enchanted by the enjoyment they were experiencing. Hips swayed and occasionally slammed as the music grew faster. Sometimes, they screamed when they felt the need for it.Her long hair followed her body's movements. Occasionally, she closed her eyes to enhance the pleasure she was experiencing. She was like an erotic dancer, shaking her entire body. Her goal was to attract foolish men, just like what she was doing now. However, she didn't need a man to accompany her to bed. She only needed one person: Sam.On the other sid
"You bastard!" Bella shouted, outraged by Eland's behavior. She would never forget what Eland had done to her. As she approached the man, she brutally struck him, but with a sudden firmness, Bella stopped her movements. She struggled to move as Eland gripped her jaw tightly. He forcefully pushed her until her back hit the wall. She didn't complain, knowing that Eland would enjoy it."What did you say?" Eland whispered, getting closer to Bella, who stared fearlessly at him. "Who's more of a bastard, a woman who degrades herself for a man's sake?"Bella, despite her mouth being tightly pressed, tried to resist. She spat on Eland's face. "You have no idea how much I love Sam!" she yelled as Eland loosened his grip due to her action."I don't care about your love, Bella," Eland said, disgusted. He quickly wiped off what landed on his face. In that moment, Bella took the opportunity to free herself from his grasp. She tried to leave the room, but Eland wouldn't let h
Beatrice sighed deeply. She let the night air ruffle her hair. The darkness of the night at the resort was indeed enchanting, but Beatrice knew there was a far more beautiful place to behold. There was only the sound of crashing waves nearby, occasionally accompanied by the crackling of the campfire burning wood around the campervan. It was so peaceful.It had been a while since Beatrice had slept so peacefully in the campervan by the coastal beach, quite a distance from the resort. There was no one there except Sam. Although he had mentioned that one of his men was keeping watch behind the nearby hill, it felt the same to Beatrice. It was just the two of them.It seemed like the past few moments were made for them to enjoy alone. No one to disturb them."Aren't you ready to sleep yet?" Sam asked while draping a large blanket over Beatrice's shoulders. Actually, he had been in their room all this time, observing with a curious gaze what Beatrice was doing outsid
"I'm sorry, but I'm not Leora," Beatrice asserted with a displeased expression. "Please respect that boundary, even if you still hope that the little child is alive."Alfred stared at Beatrice with an incredulous look."You came here to meet me, right? To confirm your suspicions?""Yes." Alfred replied without hesitation."Then don't act like someone who is committing a crime," Beatrice said.Alfred, who was still staring at Beatrice intently, eventually laughed. He waved his hand lightly at David, and shortly after, all the guns that were aimed at Sam and his men were lowered. The same went for Sam's other men. The weapons were no longer as intimidating to Beatrice.This action was met with a thin smile from Beatrice. "Thank you.""So... will you comply with this old man's request?" Alfred asked.Beatrice thought for a moment. It didn't occur to her that she might be someone like what was being suggested. It could be true or i
