Tomorrow is Maggie’s birthday.
Maggie’s condition stabilized a bit. Anxious to leave the sterile, noisy room, she pulled on Brandon’s sleeve, begging to go home so she could wake up in her own bed for her birthday tomorrow.
“Okay, baby,” Brandon said softly as he kissed her forehead. “Let’s pack your things and leave from here. Tomorrow is your birthday, and we still have a lot to do at home. We’ll buy anything you want, decorate your room together, and make this the best birthday ever for my little princess.”
Maggie clapped her hands with a smile. "Yes! We need to make the living room look nice to surprise Mommy!”

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
