Stay!
Miley didn’t even dare to move her pupils to the back. The gun at the back of her neck was cold enough to burn, making her breath hitched. The sand, the sea, the faint clink of glasses in the distance… it all faded into a hush of terror.Julius’s stance changed instantly. His spine straightened, eyes scanning, their surroundings. “Let her go,” he said, low and lethal.“Not happening!” Said the voice behind Miley. “Don’t get clever, General, or I'll put a bullet in your pretty wife. You’re surrounded.”From the shadows beyond the edge of the beach, some dark figures stepped out, at least twenty of them. Suited in tactical black, faces covered, movements efficient. They flanked the beach like a trap had finally sprung shut.“So! We finally tracked you down…”The lead one sneered, stepping forward, gun still at Miley’s neck.“You think you can hide behind vacations and villas like you’re not on every list that matters? Come quietly, or we will make a mess of her guts and brain.”Juliu
Try again
Miley stepped forward, on the path surrounded by beautiful twinkling lights on the ground. Meanwhile, dozens of delicate glass lanterns were glowing with fire, floating along a curving path that led down to the shore. Petals had been scattered across the sand, pale blush roses that fluttered in the breeze.A table had been set up in the middle: white linen, crystal glasses, and flickering candles. Beyond that, strings of soft fairy lights had been draped between wooden posts to form a canopy, under which two chairs were positioned in such a way that they faced the sea.Miley turned to look at him, eyes wide. “Julius… what is this?”Within moments, he came to a stop behind her with his hands in his pockets, watching her reaction with pride. “A detour! The beach was too beautiful to waste on just walking.”She looked at him with twinkling lights reflecting in her eyes. “Did you plan this?”“I asked someone else to do the florals, but yes. Surprise?!”Her lips curved, stunned. “You’re
I'll be okay!
Miley turned her head. In the middle of Julius’ palm, was a seashell delicate, spiraled, pale pink with a glint of sheen that caught the morning sun.He tilted it between his fingers. “Tell me this doesn’t look like something you’d wear as earrings.”Miley burst into a laugh. “Only if I’m auditioning for the role of CEO for Mermaid Corp.”He grinned, "Technically, that could work for you. You've surely got the skillset for it." “You’ve officially lost it.”He offered it to her with a shrug. “Keep it. Might be valuable.”She took it, amused, and tucked it into the pocket of her beach robe. “Between the spontaneous resort buyout, the gold-plated waffles at breakfast, and your very dramatic bidding war over the massage villa yesterday… are you sure we are not accidentally filming a luxury reality show?”Julius smirked. “Should I have hired a drone crew?”“I’m just saying…”Miley said, nudging his elbow with hers, “this whole trip is beginning to feel more like an elite-level shopping sp
Help?
Julius walked towards the sales floor, wanting to see what was taking her so long. But Miley felt his presence behind her like gravity. Once he understood what was going on, he didn't spare a glance towards the sales girl, the heiress or the security guard who was pretending to fix a plant near the counter. He walked directly to the boutique manager.“I’ll take the entire wall… the bags and shoes too. I want it billed under Colton Holdings.”The manager turned in surprise. He was a trim man in his late forties with graying hair and a polished accent, but right now, he looked like a waiter who had just spilled wine on royalty and was being reprimanded for it. “S-Sir…”He stammered, "Are you absolutely certain? These are… very exclusive pieces, and our policy requires that if a guest has had more than three alcoholic beverages, we should—”“I haven’t had a drink.”Julius said, cutting him off.He reached into his jacket, pulled out a solid black card, and placed it gently on the coun
Appointment Only!
The spa lobby was buzzing with activity, until the doors opened and Julius Colton strode in, carrying a storm behind his eyes. All the conversations faded away in the middle, and the calming scent of eucalyptus was suddenly overpowered by tension.The front desk attendants froze. Spa guests whispered urgently to one another. Staff began straightening their uniforms, abandoning their tasks. Few knew his face, but everyone knew his name: he was the man who bought the entire resort chain within 24 hours of stepping foot there. What many didn’t know was that the spa was technically a separate entity, and had an exclusive cooperation agreement with the resort chain. Their contract gave the head of the Empire direct influence over management decisions, brand partnerships, and client policies. He wasn’t just a VIP, he was literally the hand that fed them.The older attendant who had been silent while dismissing Miley rushed forward with a wide smile, cooing in her best customer-service vo
CEO's favourite!
Julius adjusted the cuff of his sleeve and turned to the crowd, voice carrying with effortless command. “Thank you, everyone! Drinks are on me for all day today.” He announced, nodding toward the bar. Cheers erupted, followed by clapping, laughter, and glasses raised in celebration. People clinked their cocktails, already turning away from the drama and excited to try free top-shelf mojitos and imported champagne. Cassie, Natalie, and Morgan stood frozen in place, red-faced, humiliated, and now trapped in a corner. The remaining crowd had tightened like a velvet rope around them, murmuring and gawking at their audacity. The girls couldn’t move without bumping into someone’s phone camera or whispered judgment. Cassie glanced around, trying to find an escape route, but no route existed for her, without drawing more attention. Julius, cool as ice, looked to the hotel manager. “Empty out their rooms…” He said simply. “Leave them and their luggage at the front gate.” The manager
