There was one side of Anne that Eland didn't expect. She liked direct physical contact, especially touches. Like now. When Eland carefully placed the bowl in front of Anne, she casually kissed his cheek. Whether she was aware of it or not, it was clear that she was now enjoying the noodles in front of her.Shaking his head softly was all that Eland could do now. Anne's side was truly testing him. Eland had promised himself not to go beyond the limits, no matter how difficult it was to resist.They enjoyed the meal voraciously, well, Anne enjoyed it voraciously. In between bites, she said, "Turns out, your cooking is really delicious. I love it. Will you make it for me again later?""Finish your food first. Don't forget to eat the vegetables," Eland reminded her.Although grumbling, Anne still ate what Eland asked. Eland noticed that Anne's portion of noodles quickly disappeared behind her slightly reddened lips. Perhaps Anne had added more chili slices to her bowl of noodles. Beads of

The passing cars in front of him created a busy scene. He sat there, observing the usual activities happening at the harbor. He enjoyed the occasional sea breeze that brushed against his face. The salty scent carried by the wind accompanied him this afternoon.He used a telescope to observe the activities in the busy corner where many containers were being moved. Large trucks were coming and going in the area under Hugo's supervision this time. In his hands, he held a file that had been checked and confirmed to be accurate without any mistakes. It served as his reference. Occasionally, he grinned and nodded in response to repeated greetings directed at him. Beside him, a table with several fresh fruits and his preferred bottle of alcohol was already prepared."Boss," Zein called in a half-whisper.Hugo glanced briefly while playing with the end of his pen."There's one last car that finished inspection.""Is everything complete?" he asked without needing to look at his conversation pa

Hugo understood Ferdi's concerns."You also understand that the Adre River connects trade routes with Savannah."The man in uniform stared intently at Hugo before finishing his glass. "Sam and Savannah, I can't say they have a good relationship, right?"Hugo nodded quietly. "Savannah is too wild and can divert many allies. Sam keeps his privacy and sets certain boundaries with them. You know that, right?"The sudden loud honk of a truck interrupted their conversation. Ferdi still wanted to talk about the concerns that were on his mind. It wasn't that he would be directly affected if the Twin Dragons were involved in trouble. But there were many things he couldn't let go of, especially when it concerned Sam.This unusual relationship between a gangster and a cop was quite out of the ordinary."I think Boss Sam has his own considerations." Hugo chuckled. "You don't need to worry.""Hopefully," Ferdi grinned thinly. He nodded, dismissing the worries that arose from the photo on his phone

Hugo had visited this place before. The towering building, which he estimated to have seven neatly arranged floors surrounding the main building, was much lower but spacious enough for him to wander around. The right and left sides of the milk chocolate-colored building were well-maintained gardens.Glancing at the clock in the corner of his phone screen, he sighed softly. He was an hour early from the scheduled return of the person he was waiting for. Choosing to sit on one of the available benches in the garden, he passed the time by playing games. Again. Today, Sam hadn't given him many tasks. Moreover, there were no significant issues with the activities at Twin Dragons and Quassano.Regarding the Adre River, the old man whose fussiness exceeded that of a woman made sure that there would be no trouble in the future. Alfred deliberately sent the ship to deliver a special order to the ruler of Savannah. Sam himself made sure it happened.It could be said that

"Really?" Hera could only hear a faint voice from Hugo as the surrounding noise was too loud. The impatient honking of other riders was quite annoying. Not to mention the loud rock music playing in her ears."Hold on." Hugo couldn't wait and he grabbed Hera's hand that was still on his thigh. He didn't care if Hera screamed in surprise behind him. And he received a punch again where, once again, Hugo forced Hera to hold onto him.A twist of the throttle signaled Hugo's seriousness. The red motorcycle accelerated to a high speed, leading the way among many other riders. Hera had no choice but to lower her head slightly and hold on tightly, entrusting herself to Hugo's control and his big motorcycle."Don't go too fast, Hugo!" Hera cautioned. It turned out to be quite terrifying being on Hugo's motorcycle. "I'm not ready to die young. I'm not even married yet."Hugo laughed during his acceleration. He didn't pay much attention to Hera's complaints. For him,

"Ugh!" Hera abruptly pulled her hand away. "How can I be jealous? Who am I to you? Nothing, right? You said it yourself, didn't you? Forget? Do I need to repeat those words? So you remember?"Hugo burst into laughter. Once again, he saw Hera's pouting face, but Hugo knew that Hera was curious about the name he had just mentioned. "Are you really not curious?" he asked while tidying Hera's messy hair due to the wind."No." Hera squinted for a moment, appearing to be thinking, but then she shook her head, dismissing her thoughts. The question took over—Who is Sharon? It wasn't usual for Hugo to mention a woman's name. That girl must have a special place in Hugo's heart. But who was she? Which one was she? Had Hera ever met her? Should she also ask Beatrice?"I bet her head is full of questions," Hugo guessed, smiling. "Do you want to know?" he offered once again.Hera mumbled softly, feeling somewhat uneasy, torn between her pride and cu

Beatrice knew, this balcony had once witnessed the terrifying night she endured back then. Fear, the urge to jump from the height, and leaving behind a lifeless body. But before that could happen, Beatrice's courage suddenly faltered when she noticed what awaited her below. Her mind immediately processed the thought of falling and meeting the angel of death. What if not? Sam's guard dog would never let her go so easily. Their sharp teeth would tear apart every inch of flesh covering Beatrice's body.No.She shuddered at the mere thought of it. But her choice to retreat meant she would be trapped with the owner of this four-story house. Initially, she felt her life no longer had any beauty. Snatched away forcibly, under what she considered terrifying intimidation. Not to mention, she had imagined that living with Sam would be far more tense than before.But this time, she looked at the surrounding nature from the balcony with a different feeling.

Beatrice woke up feeling much more energized than before. She reached out around her, searching for the figure that had been holding her. Despite the overwhelming drowsiness, she could still sense the scent of her husband's cologne, which she loved and didn't want to be too far from. That's why she enjoyed sleeping in Samuel's embrace the most."Sam?" Beatrice called out, realizing that it was already dark outside when she sat on the edge of the bed. How long had she been asleep? Oh no! She wanted to go swimming, didn't she? Instead, she ended up falling asleep like this!The sound coming from the swimming pool made her quickly get out of bed. She wanted to make sure that it was her husband causing the noise in the pool. And she was right. Samuel was swimming around like a fish in the water."Sam, how dare you leave me!" Beatrice grumbled in protest. She prepared to change her clothes and put on her swimsuit, but wait. Isn't the swimming pool supposed to be priv
