Dominic's words stung like a slap to her face.Evalina faltered completely. Her jaw slightly falling apart as though he was witnessing a ghost transform into reality.Expressionlessly, Dominic turned, to walk out on her— the same way she ostracized him that night, calling him a pesterer that was desperate for her attention.Eva snapped. She stepped into his path, blocking him from taking another step. The Royce Rolls was behind, humming like a tamed beat, a stark contrast to the live she knew about his poor ex- boyfriend.Evalina smirked— half, and sharp with a mockery edge. She laughed, brushing stubborn strands of her hair behind her back."You're so bittered i broke up with you, Dom," She chuckled wrily, taking one step closer enough for her cologne to bite his nose. But Dominic stared at her flatly. "You think walking away makes you feel important now, Huh,"Her hands spread mid-air like a flying bird. "I cheated.Yes," She boasted shamelessly. "I leveled up— That's the word. You

Marcus' gasped in shock.Dylan shook his head, his eyes slightly widened at Katherine's accusations. "You see, Marc. I told you some people shouldn't be retreated away from, without giving them back a tip of their own poison."The background buzzed even more as the spectacle shifted when a matured man with a complete grey hair stepped forward, supporting his movement with a silver cain that clicked the marble as he approached the scene with confidence.The cane wasn't for support, but purely for style.He clad a white suit, his eyes sharp, despite his age. But his face was well maintained with wealth which makes him look both attractive and mature.A silver chain glinted around his neck as though he was an exuberant youth rather than a man in his early sixties.This old man mostly comes around Elysian Vogue. Most times, his purpose wasn't to purchase a thing— Rather, he'll sit quietly at the corner of the lobby, admiring as Katherine moves up and down the hall. He'd been meaning to

Edmund's smile ashened instantly. Dominic's words felt like dagger, tearing through his leathered pride. But he didn't back away. He recovered from the hit with a growing smirk. "Kid," He started off, taking a step closer to him. He gazed at him with a mix of admiration and mockery. "It's rare to find young men like you with the confidence you just displayed, but real men don't just speak. They take action." He waved at his plain cloth. "I could have gotten you something better then the rag you wear it you've known your place and spoken to me respectfully. But—" He paused, making sure his voice was loud for everyone to catch, especially Katherine. "I'm giving you one last chance. You and your friend should apologize to this beautiful woman. And maybe if she accepts your apology, I'll be kind to everyone of you. I might even decide to connect you with some good companies to get a good job. No sweats. No resume. Just one call." He gloated, his smirk sharp. Katherine looks flu

The Hall plunged into a pin-drop silence.Shock registered on everyone's face, except for Dominic who stood with hands jammed in his pocket, watching the spectacle with cold indifference.Katherine's eyes widened in horror and panic.— She hadn't expected the slap. She held her cheek which bloomed with the fresh fingermarks across her face.Miles took one step forward, his loafers clicking the marble like a bullet against a steel wall.His hand shook at the side in anger, his expression so cold and resentfulness like he had lost all senses of humour."Do you know the gravity of what your foolishness can cost me," He shrieked, his voice trembling with that same fear that made him run into the hall. "Your stupidity is about to cost me my job. My entire life!"Katherine froze there like a statue, looking the most confused person in the room.She believes she hadn't done anything wrong to deserve everything that was happening. Her lips twitched for words to vindicate herself. "But, Sir..

A Mazda 2 gilded in through a black gate and pulled over in front of the building of the Reynold family. Evalina Reynold stepped out from the back door of the car and quickly adjusted her dress. The other side of the door opened at the same time, and a matured woman, thirty two years of age, stepped out of the car gently. She dressed in a Crimson peplum gown that fitted her curves with effortless grace. Black hair knotted in a messy bun, leaving a few strands dancing lightly in the gentle evening air."You're welcome home, aunty Vanessa." Evalina walked over to her, pulling her into the umpteenth hug. "You know I have actually missed you so much. I thought you already concluded to stay over permanently in China."Aunt Vanessa smiled lightly, her eyes filled with exhaustion from hours of flying from China to Frostholm city."You sure can't do without me, baby girl. And who said I was going to settle down in China." She teased as they walked to the entrance of the house. "A lot of thin
