Meanwhile, Governor Darrus, Seraphina, and Dominic returned to the Hayes family residence.
The Lieutenant Governor, Avo, with his arrogant demeanor, had ruined the welcome dinner for Dominic, turning what should have been a warm occasion into a tense one.
Nevertheless, a spirit of optimism remained among them.
They were confident that Dominic would successfully take control of Morow State.
Their plans were solid, alliances firmly established, leaving no room for Max to turn the tables.
Max had already lost, and Dominic’s vision as the new leader of Morow State was becoming more tangible with each passing moment.
Darrus sat relaxed in the spacious living room.
Thoughts of the future began to fill his mind.
He felt proud of how his family had forged strong ties with Dominic’s influential family in the capital.
With these connections, Darrus envisioned a bright future ahead-opportunities for promotion, greater wealth, and an elevated social status.
He even imagined one day moving to the capital to further his promising political career.
All of it felt so close, just a few steps away.
Meanwhile, Dominic sat across the table, speaking confidently.
“It will only take me a year to manage Morow State better,” he declared, his eyes gleaming with ambition.
“The state’s GDP will soar to $30 trillion. I will bring about significant change.”
Dominic seemed as though he had meticulously planned everything.
Darrus felt assured that with Dominic in control, their future would proceed as planned, perhaps even faster than expected.
With a faint smile, Darrus responded.
“You’re absolutely right, Dominic,” he said, his voice filled with conviction.
“With your capabilities, I believe Morow State will develop much faster than anyone could imagine.”
Dominic turned to Darrus, his eyes bright with confidence.
“There’s no doubt about it. We’re here to support you, Dominic,” Darrus continued.
“Our families have long built a strong bond, and I’m confident that with the political power we’ve established together, we’ll dominate everything.”
“Morow State, the capital-everything will be under our control in no time.”
Seraphina, listening to the conversation, smiled contentedly, fully supporting her father’s words.
After their serious discussion about Morow State’s future, the atmosphere began to ease.
Darrus enjoyed a cup of tea while Seraphina and Dominic sat across from each other on the sofa, conversing in a more relaxed tone.
With a playful smile, Seraphina began to tease.
“Dominic,” she said softly.
"You know, I never let that lowlife Max kiss or fuck me," she added with a sly grin.
Dominic’s eyes lit up immediately, responding to her teasing with a gaze full of desire.
He chuckled lightly, a smug smile forming on his face.
“Of course. I knew he would never be worthy of you. No one compares to me.”
Seraphina laughed softly, enjoying her flirtation.
She knew exactly how to captivate Dominic and command his full attention.
“Of course. No one could ever compare to you,” she replied, looking at him with a gaze full of admiration.
Darrus, sitting quietly in a nearby chair, merely smiled.
His expression showed understanding, as if he was fully aware of what was unfolding between Seraphina and Dominic.
He didn’t want to interrupt them.
Instead, he felt relieved seeing their relationship develop.
Darrus knew that their feelings for each other would bring benefits to their family, and for him, that was more important than anything else.
“Perhaps I’ll head to my room.”
Darrus finally said, hinting it was time for him to leave and give them some space.
He stood up, leaving them with a knowing look, as if giving his blessing for their relationship to progress further.
Once Darrus was gone, the atmosphere in the room shifted.
It became more intimate!
Seraphina stood up, walking slowly toward Dominic with a mischievous gaze.
Without a word, Dominic pulled Seraphina into his arms, their bodies drawing closer.
Dominic’s hand gently stroked Seraphina’s hair, while Seraphina gazed at him with a passionate look.
“I want us to be closer, Dominic.”
She whispered, her voice filled with uncontrollable desire.
Seraphina took Dominic’s hand, leading him toward her luxurious private bathroom.
A large bathtub filled with warm, steaming water and overflowing bubbles awaited them, surrounded by aromatherapy candles exuding a gentle fragrance.
Of course, she had prepared all of this before.
As Dominic and Seraphina became increasingly lost in their intimacy, Dominic couldn’t resist mocking Max.
His face brimmed with arrogance, and his words flowed effortlessly.
“Imagine Max now, sitting in that prison cell,” he said with a light laugh.
“He must be wailing and crying, feeling so unfairly treated, while we’re having fun,” he continued.
Seraphina simply smiled, savoring every word Dominic uttered.
He carried on with even more confidence.
“Perhaps he’s still hoping, praying to get out, but that will never happen.”
However…
They had no idea that while they were caught up in their passion, Max’s situation in prison was completely different from what they imagined!

While they were enjoying breakfast, a young woman with an attractive appearance approached their table. She was wearing a tight black dress that emphasized her slim figure, with a white satin ribbon tied neatly around her neck. Her face carried a polite smile, and her steps were graceful as she came closer to Aurora and Max. “Excuse me,” she said softly, her voice sweet and confident. “I’m a student. I’m trying to start a small business by making my own blend of herbal tea. These are my new products, all homemade. I hope you’d like to try them.”Aurora looked at her with bright eyes. She seemed genuinely impressed by the young woman’s enthusiasm. There was admiration in her heart—the kind that comes from someone who understands what it means to struggle from the bottom. The girl took out several small bottles of tea, neatly packaged and wrapped with golden ribbons. They looked elegant and smelled fragrant. Aurora carefully held one of them, as if it were something precious. “That

Yanom tried to bring Max down and save Aurora, just as the masked man he met in the cave had ordered him to.Aurora, the woman they knew as Hildasa, had to be saved from Max. They opposed their marriage, but none of them dared to openly destroy it, because the demonic cult knew how powerful Max was. They did not want to take the risk of attacking him directly. That would not be a good idea.***At the spa restaurant… Max walked toward the table where Aurora was sitting. Aurora had already ordered two portions of breakfast—one for herself and one for Max. She smiled softly when she saw her husband coming. “Is everything all right?” Aurora asked gently, looking at him with caring eyes. “Of course,” Max replied briefly, his voice low and deep. “You don’t have to worry.” Aurora let out a sigh of relief. “I’m glad to hear that.”But her cheeks flushed uncontrollably. Since morning, her mind kept going back to the moment in the lobby when Max called her “babe” in front of Chief Furod.

With his chest trembling with respect, Chief Furod called his team through the communicator. “All units, pull back from the location now. And make sure you are ready for a big dinner tonight. That is a direct order from Mr. Max.”Then he added the part about Max treating them to good food for an entire week.Hearing Chief Furod’s command through the walkie-talkie, two of his subordinates who were guarding the front door of the spa looked at each other. They could still hear the heavy voice of Chief Furod, trembling with respect, as he said, “Yes, Mr. Max! Thank you very much for your generosity.”The atmosphere that had been ordinary suddenly turned quiet. One of them, the man who had looked down on Max earlier, was shocked. “Did you hear that?” he whispered in disbelief. “He’s treating us to good food for a whole week?”His partner, a chubby man with narrow eyes, gaped in amazement. “And not just us, the whole team too! Damn, who’s that generous just because we stayed on duty for

Chief Furod straightened his posture and said respectfully, “Allow me to introduce myself, Mr. Max. I am Furod, Chief of Police of Vesula.” His voice was firm, but the nervous tone could not be hidden. Cold sweat trickled down his temple even though the morning air was cool.Max looked at him without expression for several seconds. Then he turned to Aurora beside him. “Babe, go ahead to the spa restaurant. I will follow soon.”Aurora nodded gently, though she seemed a little hesitant to leave them. “Alright,” she said softly.She walked toward the corridor with light steps, leaving a faint fragrance of flowers in the air. As soon as Aurora disappeared from sight, the lobby fell silent again. Only the soft hum of the air conditioner and the slow footsteps of spa staff could be heard in the background.Max looked straight at Chief Furod. “Now, tell me,” he said coldly. “What made you come here?”Furod swallowed hard. He had faced many generals, nobles, even the most cunning politic

Meanwhile, inside the Vesula Serenity Spa suite, the morning sun began to filter through the soft white curtains. Golden light filled the room, casting a warm reflection on the marble walls and the slightly fogged glass.Max had been awake since dawn, sitting on the long sofa with his back straight, his eyes fixed on the tablet in his hands. He did not sleep on the bed, not because he could not, but because he was not ready. Even though Aurora was now his legal wife, their marriage had happened too suddenly, as quick as a decision made in war. There was still an awkwardness between them, two people brought together by fate, not by a love that had grown naturally.Aurora slowly woke up, her eyes still heavy with sleep. She turned to Max, who was sitting not far away, and stared blankly for a moment before sitting up on the edge of the bed. “Have you been awake for long?” she asked softly, her voice hoarse from sleep.“Yes,” Max replied briefly, his voice deep and calm. He turned o

Until dawn, Chief Furod had not moved an inch from his place. The lights in the spa lobby were dimmed, leaving only the soft glow of hanging lanterns that swayed gently with the air conditioning. The faint scent of lavender lingered in the air, mixed with the cold aroma of coffee in Furod’s hand—it was his fourth cup since the previous night.Several times, the spa attendants approached him politely. “Chief, we can prepare a guest room for you to rest for a while. We promise, as soon as Mr. Max comes out, we will call you immediately.”But Furod only shook his head, his voice low but firm. “No need. I will wait here,” he said.Different attendants came and offered the same thing, yet his answer never changed. He remained seated on the long bench in front of the reception desk, a position that allowed him to see anyone exiting the spa hallway. Sometimes he stood up quickly whenever he heard footsteps coming from inside, hoping it was Max. But every time it turned out to be a staf
