Rafa remained on his knees, bowed so low his forehead hovered inches above the polished marble. Sweat dripped from his temples, sliding down his jaw, darkening the floor beneath him. His breath came shallow and uneven, every inhale shuddering like he was standing before a firing squad.The small leader—broken, bleeding, and barely conscious—stared at the scene with glassy eyes. His mind still refused to accept what he was seeing.Rafa, the man he worshipped, the ruthless overlord of the Crazy Shark Gang… kneeling.Trembling and begging for mercy. For the first time in his life, the small leader felt true terror, not from Rafa, not from the gang, but from the quiet, expressionless man standing before Rafa.Leon hadn’t spoken a word since ordering the apology.He didn’t need to.His silence alone crushed the room.Rafa swallowed hard before speaking again, voice cracking with raw fear.“Sir… Sir Leon… p-please… forgive us… forgive the disrespect… I swear—on my life—I will make sure thi

Leon had barely stepped out of the Pure White Palace when his phone buzzed.Mia’s name flashed on the screen.He hesitated only a heartbeat before sliding his thumb to answer.Her voice reached him immediately—gentle, a bit hurried, carrying a sweetness that still made something tighten in his chest.“Leon… are you busy right now?”“No,” he said quietly, “I just finished something.”“That’s good.” She exhaled softly, as if relieved. “I wanted to tell you—since Marina agreed to visit the family estate again, Clara is organizing a family dinner tonight. She wants everyone present.”Leon lifted his gaze to the sky. The sun was starting to dip, leaving streaks of rose-gold behind the clouds.He had a premonition already—Clara rarely organized anything with good intentions.“A dinner?” he repeated.“At Nightfall,” Mia added. “The best restaurant in the whole city. Clara said it’s a special occasion and… you must come.”Something inside Leon twitched, but not in surprise. Clara didn’t “invi

The moment everyone settled inside the entrance, the soft sound of approaching footsteps interrupted the scattered conversations. The receptionist from earlier—posture straight, eyes respectful—walked briskly toward the group and offered a polite bow.“Excuse me, honored guests,” he said, voice steady, polished, and carrying an unmistakable reverence that made several Quinn family members raise their eyebrows in surprise. “Your reservation has been fully arranged. Supreme Private Room No. 1 is ready for you.”A ripple of stunned silence passed through the hallway.Clara froze.“…Supreme Private Room No. 1?” she repeated slowly, as if she couldn’t believe her own ears.The receptionist nodded. “Yes, Madam. The most exclusive room in the establishment.”Clara blinked rapidly, looking around to see if anyone else heard what she did. Beverly’s mouth fell open, while the uncles and aunts exchanged quick whispers, confusion rising in waves among them.“But I didn’t book—” Clara started.Sev

Inside the opulent glow of Supreme Private Room No. 1, Oliver Taylor sat like a king who had just won a small kingdom. His back was straight, chin slightly raised, fingers tapping leisurely against the table as if he had personally built the luxury around him. Every compliment landed on him like warm sunlight, and he basked in it shamelessly.Clara, seated on one side, raised her wine glass with a smile that stretched wider each time she glanced proudly at him.“Oliver, truly, your capabilities keep surprising me,” she said, her voice floating proudly. “To book a place like this… even I didn’t expect it.”Oliver offered a small laugh—the kind meant to seem modest, but it failed miserably when paired with the smug sparkle in his eyes.“Aunt Clara, it was nothing, really. Just… pulling a few strings.”Beverly chimed in instantly from the other side of the table. “Nothing? Oliver, don’t downplay yourself. This is Supreme Private Room No. 1. People wait months, sometimes years, to get acc
Chapter 35
The Quinn family’s shouting still echoed through the Supreme Private Room when Oliver finally snapped.He couldn’t take it anymore.Not the arguing, the denial, or the clueless arrogance.Not when twenty black-clad men stood in the doorway like a wall of death, and their leader, Rafa, stared at them as though choosing which head to tear off first.Oliver lurched to his feet so abruptly his chair rattled across the floor.“SHUT UP!” he screamed.His voice cracked, shrill and raw with fear.Clara’s breath froze mid-yell.Beverly’s mouth hung open in outrage.All the Quinn relatives stared at him as though he had lost his mind.Oliver’s chest heaved as he pointed frantically at them, eyes wide and desperate.“Please—please, for the love of God, just STOP TALKING!” he cried. “Do you want to die?! Do you ALL want to die today?!”The room fell into a stunned silence.The sheer panic in Oliver’s voice felt like a slap across every face present. This wasn’t frustration. This wasn’t anger. Thi

The room had frozen into a single, collective heartbeat.Oliver was on his knees, his entire body shakin from the raw, primal fear of Rafa’s shadow looming over him. Rafa’s hand hung in the air, fingers curled, ready to deliver a strike that would likely knock out teeth, dignity, and any illusions Oliver had about his own importance.The Quinn family sat stiffly, breath locked in their throats. No one dared speak, no one dared move. Even the air felt heavy, pressed down by the threat of violence.A calm, steady voice drifted across the room like a blade slicing through fog.“Rafa. That’s enough.”It wasn’t loud, and yet, head in the Supreme Room turned toward the speaker, faces twisting with disbelief. Clara squinted, unsure she had heard right, while Beverly jerked in her seat. Leon, the “useless son-in-law”, the man everyone dismissed, ignored, belittled for years.He was the one who spoke, and nobody knew whether they should protect him or pretend like they didn't know who he was.
Chapter 37
For a long moment, the world inside Supreme Private Room No. 1 seemed suspended, like the air itself was holding its breath.Everyone watched Rafa.The same Rafa who had stormed in like a thunderstorm. The same Rafa who had been ready to break Oliver’s jaw.The same formidable gang leader, whose presence had plunged the Quinn family into trembling panic.That same man now stood with his back slightly bent, head lowered, eyes cast down with trembling respect.“So it was Miss Mia who booked this room,” he said slowly, voice low and cautious, completely unlike the snarling tone from earlier. “This is… all a misunderstanding.”His words landed quietly, but the impact was explosive.The Quinn relatives remained frozen. Some had their mouths open. A few had stopped breathing entirely.Rafa then added, voice trembling with sincerity—“Miss Mia, Mr. Leon… I will cover the entire bill tonight as an apology. Please accept it.”A gasp rippled through the family.The Quinns were the kind of peopl
Chapter 38
The shock of Rafa’s apology hadn’t fully settled before the room began buzzing again—softly at first, then growing louder as people tried to drag themselves back into some familiar version of reality. But Beverly was the first to snap out of the stunned silence.Her fingers twisted together nervously, but her voice suddenly rose with a kind of desperate certainty.“There—there must be another explanation,” she announced, as if trying to overwrite the last ten minutes of existence. “Rafa wouldn’t bow to us over a room mistake. Someone must have told him something. Maybe he heard about Mia’s connection with Marina.”Clara blinked, startled.“Marina?”“Yes,” Beverly said, seizing onto the thought like a lifeline. “This whole thing clearly has to do with Marina respecting Mia. That’s all. Nothing else makes sense.”She nodded emphatically, as if she were trying to convince herself more than anyone else.“It’s obvious,” she continued. “Powerful people like Rafa would want good relations wi

The atmosphere at the table slowly shifted, settling into something almost peaceful, almost normal. It was strange, how quickly the Quinn family could recover from chaos when the outcome somehow benefitted them. Only minutes ago, the room had been filled with fear, tension, and disbelief. Now, soft chatter rose again, accompanied by hesitant smiles.Not because the danger was gone.But because, in their minds, the danger had turned into opportunity.And all of it, apparently… because of Mia.The same Mia they had belittled, underestimated, dismissed.Now they watched her with a completely different expression.Beverly poured Mia a drink with exaggerated care, saying sweetly,“Mia, dear… you’ve always brought luck to the family.”Clara added quickly,“It’s true. You know, maybe we never realized just how valuable your… connections really are.”Mia blinked, unsure whether to laugh or sigh. Connections? She didn’t even know what connection they were talking about anymore. But the Quinns

He looked at her, and then, contrary to all her expectations, he smiled.She tried very hard to read if he was trying to mock her through that smile, or be sarcastic, but she only found it to be warm, almost affectionate.“Why?” He repeated calmly. “That’s simple.”She looked up at him expectantly at the same time as leaned slightly closer and said, with an absolutely straight face: “Because I’m the legendary mysterious boss. Rafa is afraid of me, no matter what I say.”Mia stared at him, blinking once. Blinking twice, and then, she burst out in disbelief.“What? Leon, be serious! I asked you the question in concern–”He lifted a shoulder, shrugging casually. “I am being serious.”She swatted his arm lightly, cheeks puffing in frustration.“Stop joking! You don’t have to make fun of me just because I asked a question.”Leon chuckled softly, staying just as calm and casual. “But I told you the truth…”Mia rolled her eyes.“Right. And I’m secretly the queen of the universe.”He only sm
