The evening slowly drifted with time, with laughter and clinking of utensils lingering from the corner of the room. Mason and Cleopatra, blending with its coziness, were lost in their conversation when the double door suddenly swung open. This time, Kelly entered with a proud smile illuminating his face. In his hands was a smaller plate that held desserts. The artistry was breathtaking, and the designs were nothing they had seen.As the final course, Mason couldn't help but stare at Cleopatra, who was completely entranced by it. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, moving from one dessert to another.“Is this a new dessert?” She muttered. “I haven't seen nor tasted them before.”Mason, who could say the same for himself, averted their gaze to Kelly, who returned the attention with a smile. “Indeed, it is a new dessert I have been trying for a long time but finally got it right tonight,” he replied.Mason, who made plans with Kelly to design a new dessert just for the dinner, furrowed h

“You booked the entire place?!” Cleopatra gasped, a hint of amusement coloring her tone. “How is that even possible? This is De Laminour; no one has ever booked the entire building due to its high reputation!” She added, turning to face him.Mason smiled but remained silent as he locked his gaze on hers. She stood close enough that he could almost feel the warmth radiating from her. When Cleopatra noticed his eyes wandering down her face, she chuckled. “Who the hell are you, Mason?” she whispered, urging him to reveal more. Mason stayed quiet with a sly smile spreading at the corners of his lips. The curiosity in her eyes only deepened as she studied him. “Well, at the moment, it doesn't really matter,” he finally said, pulling his gaze away. Cleopatra, unsatisfied with his answer, circled to his front, locking her green eyes on him. "It does," she muttered.Mason smiled, glancing back at her. “It's me, the guy you always had a crush on but never made a move on," he teased playfull

The ride downtown was cold and slow, lingering with serenity, which wrapped around them like a blanket. The familiar feeling made Mason increase his grip on the steering wheel. Despite his efforts to concentrate on the road, his gaze kept drifting to the figure beside him. Cleopatra, bathed in the soft glow of the dashboard lights, had a sweet smile at the corner of her lips. “How long are you going to keep staring, Mason?” Her voice breaks through the silence, while her head turns to meet his piercing blue eyes. Mason chuckled, seeing the teasing spark in her gaze. He scoffed, a guilty smile spreading across his lips. As addictive as her perfume was, he finally pulled his eyes from her, turning the corner. “We are here,” he muttered, and Cleopatra averted her gaze out the windshield to stare at the structure staring back at her with a view that made her lips part open. “The De Laminour!” she muttered, and even as soft as the word came, Mason could see the excitement lacing her ton

“Is that Cleopatra?” A scoff escaped Marcus's lips as he placed a hand on his car. Mason's eyes followed his gesture. “So, you got her new contact?” His tone dripped with sarcasm, but unlike him, Mason could sense the jealousy hidden behind it.After the incident between them, Mason wasn't surprised Cleopatra had changed her contact so Marcus wouldn't be able to contact her directly.“How long have you known Cleopatra?” Marcus asked; the incredulity in his eyes was clear, causing Mason's to remain quiet as his calm demeanor.Marcus, seeing Mason’s silence, shifted his gaze from the vehicle to the man standing before him. “I know Cleopatra might not see it, but I know what you are,” he whispered with a smirk.Mason slowly lifted an eyebrow. “And what exactly am I?”The question lingered in the air, prompting a grin to spread wider on Marcus's face. “Unlike you, I have real connections,” he replied, his voice dropping with pride. “Part of those connections involves uncovering who you re

After Mason finished shopping, the evening slowly faded into darkness, stretching through the entire city. The night sky was illuminated by the twinkling stars scattered across the universe, and the fresh air made night walks lovely. Inside Mason's room, his eyes caught a glimpse of his reflection in the mirror. Tonight, he opted for a plain but sophisticated look. His figure was in a simple, fitted sleeve that highlighted his form, and the top button was teasingly undone to reveal a hint of his masculine chest. He paired it with tailored black trousers and polished shoes that shine under the soft light.Mason sighs, running his hand through his neat hair, taking a last glance.“Why are you taking so long?!” Helen's voice echoed impatiently through the closed door. “Let me see already!” she muttered, assisted by the soft bang on his door. Mason rolled his eyes towards the door. “Give me a minute,” he groaned, moving toward the door, where he could hear Helen's foot impatiently tappi

Mason stepped out of the taxi, pulled out a bill from his wallet, and handed it to the driver, who was stunned by the unexpected generosity. This was the second time Mason had given him a generous tip, and the man couldn't help but bow his head in gratitude at the young man's kindness.Meanwhile, the mansion staff, aware of their young master's arrival, lined up outside. The driver opened the trunk of the taxi, allowing them to begin unloading the boxes and packages.Within moments, the trunk was empty, and the staff followed Mason as he made his way into the mansion.As he stepped into the elegantly furnished living room, he was greeted by the sight of his sisters lounging comfortably on the sofas. Helen was the first to notice his presence; she jumped up from her seat with a wide smile. “Mason's back!” she exclaimed, running into his open arms.“"Hey, princess," Mason murmured, planting a kiss on her forehead. "How is your day going?" He turned his gaze to Haley, who was fixated on

A moment after the incident, Lucian, not ready to go home, sat at the waiting ward, hoping to speak to the doctor who had attended to the girl. Though Lucian wasn't her family but filled in a few details, I'm trying the hospital chat except the part regarding her name and medication or allergies.After what felt like an eternity, the doctor emerged from the surgical ward, his face a mask of fatigue and concern. Lucian, seeing his expression, felt his stomach twitch and instinctively clenched his stomach, bracing himself for the news that was about to shatter his world.“Doctor, what is going on? Is she okay?” Lucian asked, pulling his eyes from the hospital board, which showed the surgery was over.The doctor, seeing his expression, heaved a sigh, prompting him to force down a lump. “The patient lost a lot of blood, which made the surgery difficult considering her blood is difficult, but the surgery was successful, and we need to monitor her vitals closely,” the young doctor added.Ma

The man's voice vibrated through the air, making Lucian adjust his gaze to the girl shuddering under the man's grip. The weather, which wasn't helping the situation, soared with thunder, and even the man quickly glanced at the sky before returning his gaze to Lucian. The man scoffs, tightening his hold on his blade. "If you had just done what I asked for, I would have been on my way, and everyone would have been happy!" He yelled, adjusting his gaze to his unconscious men on the floor. “You have to make things difficult by playing a hero, huh?” The loud voice, yelling angrily at Mason, made the girl shiver once more, and even when she tried to maintain her composure, the cold rain pierced into her skin. “Shake one more time and I will slit your throat!” The man yells, and the girl freezes, holding her breath. Hot tears drop from her cheeks as she holds Lucian's gaze. Her eyes secretly beg him to save her, and Lucian understands her pain signals for her to remain calm. Luci

Lucian raised his gaze to the shattering rain pouring on the city, leaving the predatory eyes of the men staring from him to the girl handing in his shadow. None of the cars driving by dare to stop or interact, including the pedestrian who instantly retreats away from their destination when they come across the scene, as they assume the men with the mask and bat are from a gang, which always results in Violence. The rain became heavy, and none of the thugs seemed affected by the weather, especially the man who was skillfully swinging his bat, ready to attack.A dangerous smile crawled into Lucian's lips at the adrenaline running through his veins. His eyes watched every move made by his opposition. Predicting the thug's next move, Lucian lunges forward before the man can get closer to him. He quickly ducked his head, avoiding the flying bat that swung above him, and with the force of his clenched fist, he sent a heavy blow into the man's gut.With a loud groan, the masked man stagge

Lucian's frowns deepen as he shifts his gaze from the injured men on the floor to the group slamming iron bats on their hands. They all wore black masks except for Henry, who dressed differently from them and wouldn't stop grinning. A satisfied expression spread across his features since his plan to get Lucian off his car in a lone street was successful. Lucian instantly turned to see if the girl he was trying to save was also part of Henry's plan, and when she inched closer to him, she hid her shuddering body away from the prying eyes of Henry's men. Mason shrugged off the thought since she was a victim of Henry's vicious plan. He remembers Henry making threats, but he didn't expect him to pull something like this."I see, you were able to handle these two idiots," Henry said, placing his boot on top of their heads until one of them let out a whisper from the pain. "You must feel like a hero for saving that girl, don't you think?" he grinned, his tone laced with sarcasm, but Lucian

The men watched, as the figure exited the luxury car parked in front of them, and a frown appeared on their faces, as they stared at Lucian, who also reciprocated their action with a sneer. The men tightened their hold on the girl, who whimpered with pain escaping her mouth. The taller man, who had a scar on his top brow, scoffs with irritation. “This is none of your busy boy, get lost!” The man growls, making Lucian clench his fist while his legs are rooted to the ground. The shorter man, seeing Lucian, was adamant about their instructions: glance from him to his colleague before pulling out a knife from his back pocket. “You don't want to mess with us, boy! Leave, if you know what is good for you!” the shorter man spat. Lucian stood his ground, sending a dangerous gaze between the men. The shorter man noticed Lucian wasn't scared, averted the knife to the girl's throat and she shuddered with tears flowing down her cheek. “P…Please don't hurt me.“ the girl stuttered, struggling

Lucian raised his gaze at the person who placed a knock on the front door before entering his office. Anna's figure appears in her new clothes; she wears a red shirt with the restaurant logo printed on it and a matching red shirt that reveals her long legs. After Lucian had resolved the issues with Gladys, he instantly promoted Anna to oversee the staff, working as the frontman of the restaurant, especially the receptionist to avoid the stunt Gladys had pulled. Lucian raised his gaze to meet Anna, who had been on her toes since the few minutes she had been promoted. She cleared her throat and stepped forward. “Sir, your reservation is ready.” She said, with little composure, and even through her professional facade Lucian could see the nervousness lingering in her eyes; she was new to her job and hadn't made any mistake or offended any customer which was the sole reason for her promotion but being in the presence of someone who could make her lose her job with the flick of his fing

The elevator doors slid shut, leaving a few lingering gazes on Joshua. Ignoring their curious stares, he strode toward the receptionist's desk. Although Joshua had a secret access card tucked away in the right pocket, which would grant him entry to any floor, he decided not to use it. Instead, he slid into the crowd, weaving through the line until he reached the front.The young woman with dark hair styled back into a bun barely looked up from her computer screen. “Hello, how can I help you?” “I would like to speak with whoever is in charge,” he replied, a hint of urgency lacing his words. The thought of using his card crossed his mind again, but he brushed it off. With his earlier encounter with Paul, he believes there is already a face ban on him and that he would trigger security if he were spotted.The lady, struggling to comprehend what he was saying, finally looked away from her screen to focus on him. “I’m sorry, sir, but could you please repeat that?” she said, adjusting her

The following day, news of a police raid on multiple downtown clubs spread through the media like wildfire.“Yesterday's raid marks a victory in the ongoing battle against organized crime and corruption,” the voice of a reporter announced.Meanwhile, Joshua, who had his eyes fixed on the road and his hand against the wheel, increased the volume of the mini TV embedded in the luxury of his car."The actions from the police department follow a recent incident in which an officer was brutally killed by a cartel member, sparking outrage from law enforcement. According to official sources, authorities seized a significant amount of illegal drugs and apprehended several gang members during this operation.”Joshua, seeing the red traffic light, slowed down and dropped his gaze at the screen, showing a familiar female figure, one whom he had encountered recently."The joint task force, formed to tackle gang-related violence and drug trafficking, has demonstrated commitment to its mission. The

The sound of broken furniture echoed through the room, followed by a heavy silence that lingered among the men watching their colleague, who whimpered in pain."I think he broke my bone!" The man whimpered in pain.Joshua, towering above the crumpled figure, pulled his cold gaze from the man to the other men, who remained shocked at the scene. Their smirk, that has once adorned their faces, was nowhere to be found. Joshua adjusted his clothes before stepping forward. “Which other one of you laid a finger on him?” his voice echoed through the silence. The man sitting with pliers in his hands finally stood up. He shifted his gaze from his injured colleague to the strange man standing with a question.“Who are you?” The word broke out, rolling off his lips. Joshua raised his gaze to meet the man's eyes, and with his expressionless face, he remained quiet. The silence felt heavy, almost suffocating, as if the men held their breath, waiting. Even the man crumpled on the floor held his w

Unlike the other cars that revved loudly to draw attention down the busy street, the gentle sound of the luxurious car glided through, and made heads roll in its direction. Just like their first glance, their second was a mixture of astonishment and awe as they watched it disappear.“Wow! What kind of car is that?” a bystander murmured, stretching his neck to catch another glimpse. When he noticed the puzzled looks exchanged by those around him, he reluctantly tore his gaze from the road with a shrug. “I haven’t seen that type before. What’s the big deal?!” he scoffed, masking the envy that laced his curiosity.His words only seemed to astonish his colleagues, who were familiar with him. The lady standing near the group noticed none were ready to answer his question.“I don't think it's fair to mock your friend for his lack of knowledge,” she muttered, causing the group to turn in her direction. The laughter that had been circulating among them paused as the lady, now the center of at

A heavy silence hung in the air, and its coldness cut through the vulnerable skin of the salesgirls. They couldn't do anything but stare at Joshua's face, which was devoid of any expression. Even Mr. Blake, standing behind the first salesgirl, was shocked. None of them anticipated the transaction would go through, and now the reality of their situation felt like a waking nightmare.“Hello, Ms.? Are you still there?” A voice crackled from the phone clutched in the salesgirl’s trembling hand.Joshua raised his gaze from the 911 call to her face, and the intensity of his gaze made a lump cloud her throat as she struggled to maintain her composure. Realizing she was in the spotlight, she quickly ended the call while her mind raced for any excuse to save her from the situation.“I…I think there has been some misunderstanding,” the first salesgirl began, her voice trembling as she tried to clarify the situation. She was about to mutter another word when the gaze of the salesboy silenced her

The others watching the scene widened their eyes at the revelation before erupting into laughter. “I told you!” One of the added. “He was pretending all along.” The victorious sound lacing her voice made Joshua's head roll in her direction. “You do realize I have grounds to sue all of you for defamation of character, right?” Joshua retorted. His remark only sent the girl into another fit of laughter.Meanwhile, the first salesgirl, with an incredulous look, stepped forward, hands on her hips. “How dare you have the nerve to speak up after being exposed?” she scoffed.“Exposed?!” Joshua furrowed his brow, unable to hide his bemusement at their naivety regarding his identity. “Do you have any idea who I am?”The salesgirl scoffed. “I don't care who you are. You're a fraud, and for someone like you, I'm sure the authorities wouldn’t mind taking you in,” she threatened.The salesboy noticed how the situation was slowly escalating and felt his heart skip a beat. “Enough!” his voice vibrat
