2026-06-11 13:59:38Lyra let out an irritated sigh, clearly unconvinced.
mso-line-height-alt:12pt;">“An emergency?” she repeated coldly. “Are you seriously doing this again just to ruin Leo’s birthday party? Don’t you have anything better to do than play these ridiculous games with me, Brandon?”Without wasting another second, Brandon clutched Maggie tightly in his arms and sprinted forward.
Lyra immediately ran beside him, both of them rushing through the crowded amusement park pathways while terrified tourists stopped and stared at the horrifying scene unfolding before them.
They reached the parking lot within seconds.
With trembling hands, Lyra hurriedly unlocked her luxury SUV and jumped into the driver’s seat, her heartbeat pounding violently against her ribs.
Brandon rushed into the passenger seat, pulling Maggie tightly against his chest.
Her convulsions had stopped, but that terrified him even more.
Maggie had gone completely limp in his arms.
“Drive, Lyra! Go!” Brandon shouted desperately, his voice breaking with panic as he held Maggie close. “Maggie, stay with Daddy… Open your eyes, baby. Please… please breathe for me…”
Lyra slammed her foot onto the gas pedal.
The tires screeched violently against the pavement as the heavy SUV shot out of the parking lot and sped onto the highway.
The SUV tore through the heavy midday traffic, its engine roaring loudly as Lyra sped down the highway.
Inside the car, the only sound was Brandon’s desperate voice as he held Maggie tightly in his arms, begging her to stay conscious.
Then suddenly, the Bluetooth system rang sharply through the cabin.
The dashboard screen lit up with Jake’s name.

I'M DEEPLY SORRY, YOUNG MASTER
The heavy silence inside the lobby was so thick that even the soft pattern of rain against the glass roof could be heard clearly.A dozen security guards slowly advanced, their metal batons sliding free with sharp clacking sounds. They surrounded Brandon from every direction, their tense expressions making it obvious they were ready to attack at the slightest command."You're still acting arrogant, huh?" the manager asked with a deep frown.Brandon merely hummed."I haven't said anything arrogant," he replied calmly. "Just let me go upstairs, and this will end peacefully."The manager's expression darkened."How dare you talk back to me?" She snapped. "Have you forgotten your place? Is it because I've been speaking to you too politely?"One of the security guards stepped forward and cracked his knuckles."Allow me, Manager," he said with a cold grin. "I'll crack his head open and make sure he never talks back again."The manager stood behind the wall of guards, a satisfied smile sprea
THIRTEENTH FLOOR LOCKDOWN
"Lock the elevators.""Block access to every floor. No one gets near the thirteenth floor without authorization."The security personnel immediately sprang into action, speaking into their bluetooth speaker as they spread throughout the hotel.Within moments, additional guards took up positions near the elevators, stairwells, and hallway entrances, tightening security around the entire floor.The air in the hotel lobby got really thick all of a sudden. Unaware of the storm brewing around him, Brandon pushed through the glass doors and stepped back into the hotel from the rain.He shook the water from his jacket and adjusted his grip on the small paper bag containing the medicine.His wet boots left faint tracks across the polished marble floor as he headed toward the elevators.Brandon never noticed the man standing partially hidden behind a massive marble pillar near the entrance.George remained in the shadows, his eyes fixed on Brandon's retreating figure.Shock flickered across h
BRING HIM TO ME
Inside the suite on the thirteenth floor, Brandon had just placed a glass of water on the nightstand when a soft groan drifted from the bed.He paused and glanced over his shoulder.The woman stirred beneath the blankets, her brows knitted together in discomfort.However, not wanting to involve himself in her matters, Brandon turned toward the door, intending to leave and finally get some rest.But as he passed the bed, a small hand suddenly shot out and grabbed the fabric of his gray shirt.Her fingers clutched it tightly, almost desperately, as if she was afraid he would disappear the moment she let go.Her small hand held his shirt with all the strength left in her as she did not want to let him go."Don't go," she pleaded weakly, her eyes half-closed. "Please don't leave me alone in the dark. I feel sick... My stomach hurts." Her face twisted in pain. "It really hurts..."Brandon looked down at the hand gripping his sleeve. When he tried to gently pull her fingers away, she sudden
YOUNG MASTER GEORGE?
"Y-You... you're actually shouting at me?" The woman stared at him in disbelief. "Do you even know who I am?""I don't care," Brandon replied coldly.He leaned back in his chair, his expression completely indifferent."You're sitting in my room without my permission. You're drinking, talking endlessly, and disturbing my peace." His eyes met hers without the slightest hesitation. "So yes, I have every right to say whatever I want and raise my voice if I feel like it."For a moment, the room fell silent.The woman looked at him with tear-filled eyes, no one had ever spoken to her like that before.Most people either envied her wealth, wanted something from her family, or tried to curry favor with her by agreeing with everything she said. Some were so eager to gain her family's support that they would have happily nodded along to any nonsense she spoke.Throughout her life, she had heard the same words over and over again.People always told her that it was better to cry in a luxury car
AT LEAST TELL ME YOUR NAME
“What do I want?” The woman let out a soft laugh.“I think we have a long night ahead of us to figure that out.” She gestured toward the empty chair across from her. “Come, sit down and keep me company for a while.”She settled into the armchair beside the window, crossing her legs gracefully beneath her silk gown. Picking up the bottle, she poured red wine into two crystal glasses before extending one toward him.Brandon didn't take it.Instead, he walked over to the desk and pulled out the chair opposite her. Sitting down, he folded his arms across his chest and leaned back slightly.His expression remained cold and unreadable…. He didn't touch the wine, he didn't speak either.He simply watched her with quiet, emotionless eyes.The woman did not seem to mind that Brandon did not take the wine. She took a gulp of the wine using it to help her talk. A sad smile was on her lips as she looked at the glass."You probably think I'm some crazy woman who likes playing games," the woman sai
I'M TIRED
The room on the fourteenth floor of the Grand Horizon Hotel was shrouded in darkness. The only light came from the pale moon shining through the floor-to-ceiling window.Brandon sat motionless on the edge of the bed. He had removed his boots and changed into a simple gray T-shirt and loose trousers. His hands rested on his knees, and his eyes remained fixed on the wall ahead.On the nightstand beside him, his phone kept vibrating.Again…. And again…. And again.The screen lit up the dark room every few seconds, displaying the same name over and over.LYRA.The constant buzzing echoed through the silence, yet Brandon never reached for the phone.He didn't even glance at it.He simply sat there, staring blankly ahead as the calls continued to come one after another."It doesn't matter anymore," Brandon murmured to himself, his voice was flat and emotionless. There was no anger left, no sadness, and no resentment.In his mind, he was already done with Lyra.The room at the Grand Horizon
