The hall is going really cray-cray! Wasn't this just too much for these family members? When they are trying to understand a mystery, another one was spawn at them out of the blue. Miss Zoe had only just told them that the new representative of Valion is Mira! They were bedazzled and gobsmacked by the sudden and ridiculous news. They were still trying to understand what that meant when Achiel had gotten up and walked to Zoe, whispering to her. After that, Miss Zoe had said that the great and powerful owner of Hoveland would reveal himself in three months' time when the Hoveland project would be completed. In the middle of that news, she had added that the mystery billionaire man will also be present tomorrow at Valion Handover Party, which will be happening tomorrow?! What the hell was happening in the hall?! No one could tell. How could they? Not even one of them was able to pick his jaws off the floor yet. There were so many questions to ask at that moment. So many people ha

"Who the fuck do you think you are?" Jones roared at Achiel, as though he was about to chew off the face of the latter. "Do you want to die on your feet? Do you want to disappear and not be found again until your bones had rotten to pebbles?!" Jones barked even harder and with much more agility as though his whole life depended on the impression he was trying so hard to make. Achiel looked away from him to Mira, who was in the car. Though the door had been shut, and she could barely hear the raging jerk, sorry, Jones. Yet, he didn't want to make a scene while Mira was in an eye shot. "How about we go over there?" Achiel turned back to Jones, who was still fuming. When Jones gazed at Achiel, he realised that Achiel looked very unbothered. Achiel looked like he had never heard of the word, 'stress', in his entire life. After Achiel asked, he walked away from Jones. "Where do you think you are going?" Jones was becoming frustrated by this nonchalant attitude of Achiel. Was this not

A rooftop. The Cloister Block was one of the best mansions in Jade City. It has been in existence for a long time, as old as the city itself. Some people claimed that its early days had seen the stone ages of Jade City. Cloister Block was neither a hotel nor a restaurant. It served several multipurpose functions. But in most cases, its rooftop was the biggest and fanciest catch of the building. The rooftop was tiled with pure gold, well designed, and had several crests of traditional artefacts in thoughtful corners. Prime Ministers of Jade City, from the past up to now, would hold and throw parties on the rooftop of this building. The fact that Valion had chosen this place of all places to celebrate the handover party was a wonder of its own. It is a wonder that such people as Jones were having a hard time understanding. "Truth be told, this is very huge." Jones murmured, looking around the rooftop which had been filled by several influential figures from all of Jade City. "I w

Everyone was awestruck when Achiel got up on his feet. Mira was no different. She couldn't begin to imagine why the hell Achiel would get up. She understood that she had done something absolutely wrong to Achiel. She had kissed him against his consent. She knew that he was mad at her. But no matter how hard she pestered the thoughts, she couldn't find a correlation between the kiss incident and Achiel's current stance. "You crazy piece of shit! Will you sit back down!!!" A thunderous voice ran across the rooftop. For a sheer second, all eyes went in the direction of the voice, leaving Achiel. All eyes landed on an enraged Jones. Jones was on his feet. "How dare you stand up when Miss Zoe has mentioned that the mysterious owner of Hoveland is here?!" Jones carried on with his argument. The manner at which he spoke, and the emphasis which he spread across every syllable, slowly got the heads of the guests moving in accordance to Jones's argument. When Jones realised that the guest

Mira walked briskly to stand in a corner. Her breathing pace had changed, and she had one of her palms pressed to her chest as though it would help regulate the pace. She leaned out of her hide to peep at Zoe. She could see Zoe leaving. There were so many reasons for her to be scared. She didn't think before she said all of those things to Zoe.Mira knew that she had let her intrusive thoughts win, and there was no going back to take the words. She had figured out that there was something going on between Achiel and Zoe. She couldn't say for sure what it was, but she feared that she might lose him to Zoe. She didn't want to take that risk of keeping quiet. It was a fact that she knew and had accepted that Zoe was miles apart when it came to beauty and class. Mira was not a dullard. She knew that Zoe was very beautiful and smart, so she felt intimidated by Zoe's class and did what she had done. "What do I do? What if she gets pissed off and canceled the contract? Is she going back
