Chapter 21
Rhys snapped his eyes open from the dream and blinked several times at the ceiling. For a moment, the vivid images remained in his mind, almost as though he had actually been lying between Yvonne and Nancy. He frowned slightly before shaking his head. “What a strange dream to have,” he muttered to himself. It was so vivid, though. It almost felt like it was actually happening. He eventually brushed the thought aside. Perhaps it was simply the result of finally freeing himself from the monster named Lexi and having two beautiful women around him. His mind was probably just getting used to the idea of a completely different life. By then, the sun was already up. Rhys immediately got out of bed and stretched his body. He had no time to waste at all. There was still far too much to accomplish before the apocalypse arrived, and every hour he wasted was another hour he could never get back. He quickly washed up and changed his clothes before leaving the room. Rhys knew nothing abou

Rhys smirked when he saw her. He wasn't surprised in the slightest. If anything, he was surprised she had taken this long to show up after everything that had happened. “Rhys, you're finally back.” Lexi deliberately softened her voice, making herself sound pitiful. “Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for you? There's something I really need to tell you.” Rhys folded his arms and leaned casually against the wall. He already knew what was coming, but he decided to give her the opportunity to perform. “Go on,” he said flatly. Lexi lowered her head and put on her saddest expression. “I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. From now on, you'll be the only man for me. Please, Rhys.” Rhys raised an eyebrow. “Really? All of this is coming from your heart?” “Yes!” Lexi quickly nodded, her eyes filling with tears. “I mean every word. I love you, Rhys. I don't think I can live without you anymore. I've finally realized that you're the person who truly matters to me.” She took a

After dinner, Rhys drove to the bank near his apartment.As his assets continued to grow, he had been visiting more frequently. Yvonne, the branch manager assigned to handle his accounts, usually dealt with him personally.Yvonne had been interested in Rhys for quite some time. At first, perhaps it was because of his money. But the more she got to know him, the more she appreciated his calm, reserved nature and the composure he carried despite his age.More importantly, he wasn't like the men who suddenly became rich and practically wore an I'm rich sign on their foreheads. That was why, even when certain matters could easily have been handled by a relationship manager, Yvonne still preferred to deal with Rhys herself.The only problem was that no matter how many hints she dropped, Rhys never made a move.Until today.By the time they finished his last fund transfer, most of the bank employees had already left. Yvonne closed the folder in front of her. "All right. That's everything fo

The next morning, Rhys took Yvonne out for breakfast. After the events of the previous night, Yvonne was in an unusually good mood. She chatted throughout the meal, occasionally stealing glances at Rhys with a satisfied smile. Rhys, meanwhile, remained as calm as ever, already thinking about the things he needed to accomplish before the apocalypse arrived. Once they finished eating, he drove Yvonne to a luxury car dealership. The moment they stepped through the glass doors, a sales manager hurried over to greet them. The staff had clearly recognized Rhys almost immediately. Since his lottery win had made him a local celebrity, his name carried considerable weight, especially among businesses that catered to wealthy customers. "Mr. Rhys, welcome. It's an honor to have you here," the manager said enthusiastically. "Please, let us know what you're looking for." "I want to buy a car for her," Rhys said, gesturing toward Yvonne. "Something around seventy thousand dollars. It needs to

Rhys said nothing. Liar. When he'd gone through the building's resident information with the property manager after the package theft, he'd happened to see Sara's file. He remembered it clearly.Both of her parents were listed as living. There was no way he had misunderstood what he'd seen, which meant Sara was either lying to him now or there was something she wasn't telling him. "Rhys..." Sara suddenly grabbed his hand. "Please. Just help me this once." Her tear-filled eyes were full of desperation, and for a moment, she looked genuinely broken.Rhys lowered his gaze to her hand before looking back at her face. He could see how badly she wanted him to agree, but sympathy wasn't enough to make him hand over a hundred thousand dollars to someone he barely knew. He slowly shook his head."We barely know each other. Why would I lend you a hundred thousand dollars?" His voice remained calm, leaving no room for argument. The hope in Sara's eyes immediately faded, and her fingers slowly l

Rhys and Sara did not take Duke to an ordinary veterinary clinic. The moment Rhys looked at the dog's condition, he knew a small clinic would not be enough. Duke was barely conscious, his breathing was weak, and his body felt frighteningly limp in Rhys's arms. They drove straight to a large private hospital that had a fully equipped veterinary department. It was one of the few hospitals in the area capable of handling serious animal trauma alongside emergency cases. As soon as they arrived, Rhys carried Duke inside. Sara followed closely behind, her face pale and her hands trembling slightly. The hospital staff immediately brought a stretcher and transferred Duke onto it before rushing him toward the examination room. "Stay here," one of the veterinary doctors said. "We'll examine him first." Rhys nodded. Several minutes passed before the doctor finally returned. His expression was serious. "This isn't a simple injury," he said. "The dog has suffered severe trauma." Sara

Meanwhile, Rhys and Sara made their way out of the hospital. When they reached their building, they were about to head to their respective apartments when Sara suddenly stopped. She turned toward Rhys and bowed her head. "Thank you so much for what you did for Duke. I honestly don't know how to repay you." Rhys frowned slightly. "You're welcome. Is there anything else you want to tell me?" Sara nodded faintly, but her lips trembled as though she wanted to say something. She opened her mouth, then closed it again, unable to get the words out. "I'm sorry," she eventually whispered. "I'm sorry for all the disturbance." Before Rhys could respond, she hurried into her apartment and shut the door behind her. Rhys stared at the closed door for a moment before shrugging. "Strange" He entered his apartment, intending to get some rest. However, just as he was about to sit down, his phone rang. Seeing the caller's identity, he immediately answered. "Mr. Eden, what's the matter?" "Sir R

Ferran's face twisted with anger as he stared at Rhys. Before he could say anything, Sara scrambled to her feet and rushed toward Rhys, her eyes filled with fear."Mr. Rhys!" she exclaimed, grabbing his arm.Ferran immediately scoffed. "So you're Rhys? The man who paid so much money for that stupid dog?" He looked between them, his expression turning nasty. "So, you two are fucking each other now? Unbelievable! You ungrateful bitch!"Sara shook her head frantically. "No! You're mistaken. It's not what you think!""Shut up!" Ferran roared, pointing the wooden plank at her. "I asked you to collect money from him, but instead, you wasted it on treating that fucking animal! And now you've called this bastard here to harass me!"He turned his attention to Rhys, his eyes burning with fury. "Did you even tell him who I am and what I can do?"Sara opened her mouth to respond, but Ferran raised his hand to silence her."You know what? I won't repeat myself." He glared at Rhys. "Get out of my h

The Tiger Fang Gang was one of the most notorious gangs in the city. Everyone knew about their brutality, and even the wealthiest businessmen preferred not to cross their members. Rhys had never expected Ferran to be one of their leaders. Sara sniffled and lowered her head. "I'm sorry, Mr. Rhys. I caused all this trouble. I shouldn't have dragged you into my mess." Rhys remained silent for a few moments, thinking about what had happened. Then, a faint smirk appeared on his face as he came up with a plan. "You can't stay here anymore," he said. "Besides, I came here to tell you that you should help me look for a room. I have somewhere important to be, so I'll be leaving now." Sara nodded slowly. "Yeah, I can do that. But..." She hesitated before looking at him anxiously. "Please, don't come back home today. Ferran will definitely return with more members of his gang. I'm worried they'll hurt you." Rhys scoffed. "Don't worry about me. I'll deal with them." Without waiting fo

"Governor!" Minister Warren immediately straightened his back and hurriedly bowed. Michael also jumped to his feet, his previous arrogance disappearing as he respectfully greeted the governor. The other officials in the office quickly followed suit. "Good day, Your Excellency!" they chorused. However, Governor Jacob didn't even spare them a glance. His eyes were fixed on Rhys, who was standing beside the table with a calm expression. Without hesitation, the governor walked straight toward him, his stern expression immediately softening into a smile. "Mr. Rhys!" He extended his hand warmly. Rhys smiled and shook his hand. "Mr. Governor. What a pleasant surprise." The entire office fell into dead silence. Minister Warren's mouth dropped open. Michael stared at the two men as though he had just witnessed something impossible. The governor knew Rhys personally? Not only that, but judging from their expressions, they seemed to have a close relationship! Warren fel
