The store owner pondered for a while. The damaged parts of his shop were worth only a few thousand dollars. Five hundred thousand dollars was a considerable sum for him.He went back to ask for Lewis' opinion. Lewis said he had to return to retrieve his documents. So he took the motorcycle parked in
Seth came to a halt before he entered the room. The person behind him also halted. He followed Seth's gaze and looked up to the second floor.The room that was lit moments ago suddenly went dark."Boss ..." one of his henchmen murmured, implying to ask what to do next.Seth replied, "You guys stay
Lewis rolled on the ground a few times before stopping. He couldn't feel any pain as his consciousness was fading. He was feeling dizzy due to the lack of oxygen. He felt as if he was drowning.He stared at the distorted stars in the sky. It looked like The Starry Night by Van Gogh.While he was in
The vehicle following them was left far behind. It disappeared in the blink of an eye.Seth got out of the car and watched the motorcycle that was still running on the ground. He got lost in thought.His subordinates behind him didn't dare to utter a word. Feeling the weight of his murderous and ang
The sky was dark, but one could still see another's face.When Josephine and Lewis' eyes met, the time and everything around them froze. Chilly breezes blew against her from all directions. It made her blood turn to ice. Her body refused to listen to her as she climbed down from horseback.Lewis mov
A flicker of annoyance showed in Josephine's eyes as she listened to his ramblings. "I already told you. You've got the wrong person, so please get out of my way!"Phineas chose to ignore the first half of the former's words. He added, "Oh, right. Have you seen Mr. Alvarez? His phone was unreachable
Seth headed upstairs at once when he returned to the villa.That was when Josephine stepped out of her room. The two exchanged greetings before Josephine preventively voiced her question first. "Did you just get back?"Seth examined every inch of her before asking, "Where did you go last night?"Jos
The little snowflakes grew into larger particles and turned the ground white.When Josephine reached where she had abandoned Lewis, she saw his figure on the stone slab from far away. It was surprising that Phineas hadn't found Lewis even till now. Because she watched from far behind him, he didn't
"Daddy …" Serena murmured the two syllables. Then, she beamed brilliantly and repeated the word with more conviction. "Daddy!""Dada!" Elliot called out, too.Lewis smiled and reached out to pet Serena's head. "That's my little girl. Are you upset that I haven't come home all this time?"Serena shoo
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lewis asked.Josephine snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "I didn't think—""Didn't think what? Your parents are my parents. It's only fair that I give a proper gesture to my parents. What's so shocking about that?"Josephine had never heard him say su
"Well, we should visit your parents first—show them their grandkids. Plus, I don't think we need to return to Elysium anymore. We'll bring Serena over once we settle down. Let's stay here for a while," Lewis answered.Josephine nodded. She agreed that it was unnecessary to go back there since the co
Seth shot the former the side eye like he was looking at an idiot.Daxtor felt offended at once. His face darkened to his usual sternness. "Why? Are you unwilling to accept your actual identity?"Seth replied, "I hear the Leigh family is in trouble. I don't want to join a sinking ship.""About that.
Daxtor stopped reminiscing and cut to the chase. "Your mother was my first love. I'm probably hers, too."The two had dated when they were in school. They had deep feelings for each other, but their social statuses were too different. Daxtor had tried retaliating against his family and convincing h
Seth came in secret. Some things were easier to do here than in their home country. Still, doing so came with some risks. He said, "You two can forget about having a peaceful life if I hadn't come here. How do you plan to repay me, Lewis?"Lewis responded, "You can go home. We don't need you here."
Lewis fell silent. "Not so soon."Josephine didn't understand. "Do you have any matters left to resolve? Or ..."Or did he want to stay here? It seemed like they didn't have a place to return to.They didn't have a house in Hardington. Apart from the villa in Styx Mansion, nothing else belonged to t
The sudden blast created a disturbance, making the image tremble as static sounds disrupted the audio.The next moment, the signal was interrupted, and the TV screen went black.Although the screen had turned dark, Josephine had keenly noticed that something had exploded in the court.Blood scattere
Josephine didn't have much to do these days. Lewis was rarely home. Alone, she felt bored. Avery didn't want to visit her either.Avery wasn't on good terms with Lewis. So she tried to avoid running into him.Josephine didn't know what Lewis was up to. Avery seemed to have no acquaintances here but
