Contrary to what you might think from the outside, behind this steel door is an incredibly spacious and luxurious living room. The floor is made of high quality marble in a combination of white and black, forming a special emblem.The walls separating one room from the other are made of thick transparent glass."Come in, Miss!" Aaron said, inviting the girl into the room.As the girl stepped over the threshold that separated the room from the corridor outside, the steel gate closed again.As she stepped onto the beautiful marble floor, she realized that the emblem she saw on the floor was a reflection of something hanging from the ceiling of the room.Looking up, she saw a dome-shaped chandelier made of hundreds of beautiful pearls.Dakota was speechless at what she saw. But before her astonishment could fade, she no longer saw the old man in his place. "Huh! Where did the old man go?"After a while, her mind regained its focus. She hadn't come to this place to play around. She had to

Amelia did not answer Daniel's question.Her body continued to shake as she tried to suppress and deny the memories that had haunted her for the past ten years.Sensing that something serious must have happened to the girl, Daniel took Amelia's hands in his own and tried to channel his inner energy into her.With his energy transfer technique, Daniel hoped to relieve the mental pressure the girl was experiencing.As their hands joined and Daniel focused his mind on healing Amelia, another technique Daniel possessed suddenly became active beyond his control.It was the mind reading technique!When he saw what the girl might have seen in her vision, Daniel's eyes widened with indescribable amazement."What's that?" he exclaimed with restraint.***"You miserable old man! Get me out of here!" Dakota shouted from inside the glass room.But it was in vain. As explained earlier, the room was airtight, so the girl's screams could not be heard by Aaron.Only the movement of her lips and her a

Three days before Aaron and Dolcie's wedding.In one of the luxurious rooms of the Amaro Palace, a woman in her forties stood with a very serious expression on her face, looking at several neatly hung gowns on a clothes rack.There were more than a dozen such dresses, all of them wedding gowns designed by one of Tectona's finest designers, and each one costing the equivalent of a modest home.The woman was Melvina Amaro, the grand lady and mother of Zane and Aaron.Though this was not her first time officiating a wedding, for some reason her heart had been troubled lately."Does a wedding always have to cause such immense anxiety?" she thought.She had organized a wedding for her eldest son, Zane, before, so there shouldn't have been any major obstacles in preparing for this one, right?But that did not seem to be the case.Aside from worrying about not being able to provide the best hospitality to her guests, Melvina was also puzzled about which wedding dress to give Dolcie.Accordin

Lula left Rufus alone in the room. "Rest for a while! I'll prepare something for you," she said as she held the leaf of the door to close it from the outside."Madam, there's no need for you to do that!" Rufus replied politely."What are you talking about? Not at all! I want to do this!" the woman said, quickly closing the door.Not long after, a soft knock was heard at the door.Knock! Knock!"Sir, am I disturbing you?"It was the voice of a young girl who served the family."No! Come in!"The girl slowly opened the door and pushed in a cart loaded with various foods.With skill, the girl arranged the food on the table.Rufus stared at the girl for a moment. Somehow, being alone in a room with a girl aroused his desire.He continued to watch her until she had finished arranging the food and was standing in front of Rufus, who was lying on the bed like a prince."Sir, Miss Dolcie is going out for a moment. Is there anything else you'd like me to prepare?" the girl asked politely."Yes

Not long after that, Rufus said goodbye to the Williamson family.When he and all of Amaro were on the front porch, everyone, including Dolcie, said their goodbyes."Honey, take care of yourself, okay?" Rufus hugged Dolcie and kissed her on both cheeks.This surprised the girl. She just stood there and smiled awkwardly. "Y-yes... of course!"If it wasn't for Aaron, she would have punched the guy in the face.Meanwhile, Benny and Lula just smiled and shook their heads, watching what the two young people were doing.This was their plan to set Dolcie up with the son of one of the most prominent families in Tectona. Their daughter had never met this young man before. But seeing the closeness between them, Benny and Lula could finally smile with relief."They seem to be meant for each other!" Benny said to his wife.While the Williamson family was pleased with the closeness between Rufus and Dolcie, the Amaro people felt differently.They remained silent when the Williamson family misunder
