Darren immediately responded to the host's question with confidence. "Biella and Nora are on good terms now," he said in a reassuring tone. "They're friends, and their relationship has healed. There are no problems between them anymore." Darren glanced at Nora hopefully, as if silently asking for her support in backing up his statement. Nora, despite the doubts in her heart, quickly nodded, giving her approval for the lie they were crafting. "That's right," she replied briefly, maintaining the image they had built. "We're good friends now." The lie was seamlessly covered up, restoring the smooth flow of the event. The show continued without any further sensitive questions. The host proceeded with lighter questions, focusing on their wedding preparations. Darren and Nora answered calmly, keeping up the charade. The talk show eventually ended successfully. As predicted, media analysis showed a significant boost in the popularity of the Xanta family and gubernatorial candi
I AM COMMANDER ZANDER: Your Good Villain 0051-Zander Also Come
Biella stepped onto the wedding stage with unwavering confidence. The atmosphere turned silent, with only the sound of cameras clicking as reporters rushed to capture the moment. "Isn't this the perfect time for a family photo?" Biella said with a meaningful smile, breaking the silence. Everyone turned to look at her, confused and surprised. Darren tensed. Meanwhile, Nora watched with keen interest, sensing the conflict simmering beneath the façade of the Xanta family's harmony. Biella's gaze shifted to her mother, Madam Nousa, and her father, Hammo, both of whom wore stiff smiles. Then, her eyes swept across the Xanta family, who stood neatly dressed in coordinated outfits. Her smile widened. "No one told me about the family dress code," she said in a soft yet sharp tone. "So, I decided to wear black." The guests began whispering among themselves, while the reporters eagerly snapped photos and jotted down Biella’s words. One reporter, unwilling to miss this heated moment
I AM COMMANDER ZANDER: Your Good Villain 0052-The True Heir Has Returned.
Zander stepped into the Xanta family's mansion with unwavering confidence, holding Biella's hand. All eyes turned to them. The guests gazed at them with a mix of admiration and confusion. Without hesitation, Zander and Biella walked toward the Xanta family's designated seats on the wedding stage. Their presence in an area typically reserved for immediate family members sparked a flurry of whispers among the guests. Darren stared at them stiffly, while Hammo tried to remain composed, though his breathing had noticeably deepened. The reporters, who had been closely observing every moment, seized the opportunity. One of them stood up and asked, “Biella, who is this man holding your hand tonight?” Biella turned with a confident smile, as if she had already anticipated the question. She glanced at Zander briefly before answering firmly, “He is my fiancé.” The atmosphere shifted instantly. The murmurs among the guests grew louder, with some even appearing visibly shocked. The re
I AM COMMANDER ZANDER: Your Good Villain 0053-Zander is Not Leaving
“Then tell me, where am I supposed to sleep with Nora?” “This is our first night as husband and wife, and the first time Nora is staying here. Do you think it’s right to leave my new wife without a room?” Biella merely looked at Darren with a blank expression, like a cat unbothered by a small dog’s barking. Slowly, she shifted her gaze to Nora, who looked awkward and confused, then spoke in a calm yet cutting tone. “Aren’t there plenty of hotels in Venua?” “You and Nora can pick one and stay there tonight.” “As newlyweds, wouldn’t it be better for you to enjoy your first night somewhere more... private?” Darren was taken aback by her statement. Before he could interject, Biella continued in an even more relaxed tone—though clearly laced with mockery. “Besides, you wouldn’t want the entire house to hear... your moans, would you?” “Sounds like that can be quite disruptive in the middle of the night, especially for the other residents.” “So really, I’m just making a thoughtful
I AM COMMANDER ZANDER: Your Good Villain 0054-I'm Here to Protect Her
Zander stared directly at Hammo and Darren, his eyes cold and piercing."See... it was Biella who asked me to stay here for the night."Hammo clenched his fists, clearly displeased by the statement, while Darren simply let out a quiet scoff, glaring at Biella with undisguised hatred.However, Biella remained silent, her face calm, seemingly unaffected by the tension that had begun to engulf the room.Zander continued in a low voice, "I’m here to protect her.""I’ll make sure no one dares to harm her."His gaze swept across the room, though his focus remained fixed on Hammo and Darren.His words sounded like a warning, a veiled threat.Hammo held his breath, while Darren felt his anger boiling over.But before either of them could respond, Madam Nousa spoke to Zander."You don’t need to protect her," she said in a voice that sounded calm, though tinged with slight confusion."This is her home, and we are her family. How could her own family harm her?"Biella raised an eyebrow briefly b
I AM COMMANDER ZANDER: Your Good Villain 0055-I'll Stay By Your Side
The night grew deeper.Biella was already lying on the bed, her eyes fixed on the ceiling as her thoughts began to drift. Tonight felt different.For the first time in the past two years, she was back in this mansion.In the corner of the room, Zander sat on the sofa, a laptop open on his lap.He glanced briefly at Biella, ensuring she was okay."Go to sleep," he said in a low but warm voice. "I’ll sleep later."Biella looked at Zander."Earlier... Darren said you were a former war commander," she said softly."Is that true?"Zander looked at Biella, his gaze deep yet calm."Yes, it’s true," he replied briefly.Biella exhaled slowly.Although she couldn’t recall much about her past, she could sense that Zander’s presence was different from that of an ordinary person.The way he spoke, the way he carried himself—everything about him showed that Zander had experience dealing with difficult situations.She turned toward Zander, looking at him sincerely."Thank you..." she murmured."Tha
I AM COMMANDER ZANDER: Your Good Villain 0056-What Do You Mean?!
The next morning, Zander woke up early.The Xanta family house was still quiet, and the morning sunlight illuminated the dining table, which was filled with a complete meal.Zander sat leisurely in one of the chairs, crossing his legs while sipping the black coffee that had just been served by one of the servants.He had a calm and dominating presence that made the servants bow their heads in silent respect.Hammo turned to his wife, Madam Nousa, who had been seated at the table before him.Zander presence in the house, they felt, was an affront.However, there was little they could do—especially Hammo.Zander's position as Biella's lover forced Hammo to restrain himself.He knew that Biella would not hesitate to use this situation to ruin his political reputation if he dared to act recklessly against Zander.Not long after, footsteps approached.Darren and Nora appeared in the dining room with exhausted expressions.They had been forced to spend the night in a hotel because Biella ha
I AM COMMANDER ZANDER: Your Good Villain 0057-Family Talk Show
Biella smiled slightly, her eyes making thin lacerations and dryly sardonic.“Oh, Darren,” she said, steady but searing.“It looks like you missed one important thing.”“The Xanta Company, including this entire family inheritance, may be possessed only if the rightful heir… dies.”She leaned forward some, her cold eyes hunting Darren."And I’m still alive, as you can see.”The room fell into silence.Darren froze, the words crashing over him like a slap to the face.His jaw tightened, struggling against the rage building up inside him.“You can’t waltz in and take a wrecking ball to everything I’ve built,” he said, his voice quaking.Biella tucked her arms casually across her chest and leaned back in her chair.“Oh, I’m not wrecking anything, Darren.”“I’m just taking back what belongs to me.”“The family rules, as you know, are unequivocal.""There can be no replacement for the heir, except in instances where...." She let her sentence hang, leaving it for Darren to fill in the rest i

0081-To Protect Her
Zander remained calm as he stood beside Biella, but his eyes sharpened—piercing toward Jacky, who stood a few steps beside Joseph. That cold stare was impossible to misinterpret. Quietly, Zander deeply disliked this surprise. Jacky lowered his head, unable to meet Zander’s gaze. He knew exactly where his loyalty lay. Zander might be his boss now—a man he respected with all his soul—but Joseph Guezz? That was someone even the nation bowed to. Joseph wasn’t just a superior. He was the master. Whatever Joseph ordered, Jacky would obey—even if it meant going against Zander. Biella noticed the subtle tension. She gently squeezed Zander’s arm, silently urging him to stay composed. Then, from the far end of the hall, Madam Nousa rose. Her gown rustled softly as she stepped forward. A thin smile curved her lips, but her tone remained formal and diplomatic. “Thank you for being here tonight, Mr. Joseph Guezz,” Madam Nousa said calmly. “On behalf of my husband, Hammo Xanta—who is currently
0080-I'm Behind Them
Previously, at Biella’s request, she had insisted the wedding remain private. She didn’t want any reporters present, not because she was ashamed, but because she didn’t want the event to cause a social media stir that could potentially harm the Xanta Corporation’s stock value. But now, thanks to her mother’s own actions, the press had arrived. Maya, Biella’s new assistant, approached her with a tablet in hand, reporting the situation. “Young Miss, the news is already spreading on social media.” “What’s the worst headline?” Biella asked. “A damaging narrative has emerged, Miss. One article reads, ‘Biella Xanta Marries Former War Commander—Not a Businessman. Is This a Bad Omen?’ And there are others, painting Mr. Zander in a very poor light in the public’s eyes.” “What else?” Biella pressed. “Some media outlets are reporting, ‘Zander Rhett—Former War Commander Turned Janitor at a Media Company—Is Now Married to Biella Xanta.’” Biella felt a wave of anxiety rising within her. “T
0079-Don't Worry
Jacky nodded silently. He knew Joseph’s order wasn’t just for protection. It was a warning. If anyone dared to lay a finger on Zander, Joseph would make sure they didn’t live long enough to regret it. But Jacky froze in his tracks when Joseph spoke again, this time in a sharper tone. “And make sure Zander doesn’t know.” The atmosphere in the room instantly turned colder. Jacky turned slightly, confused. “But, Sir—” “He’ll stop us if he finds out,” Joseph cut in, still facing the portrait of his late wife. “My son is too naive. He thinks I should sit quietly, enjoy my old age, and let the world play games with him. But I’m not the kind of man who stays still when my family is in danger.” Jacky simply nodded in obedience. There was no need to say more. Joseph’s word was absolute. “I heard the girl still has amnesia,” Joseph added, his gaze never once shifting toward Jacky. Jacky nodded. “Yes, Sir. According to the doctor’s report, she’s regained her memories about hers
0078-She Has Plans to Kill My Son
Madam Nousa held back her anger, her lips pressing into a tight line as Zander calmly responded to her question. She didn't have the chance to reply because, suddenly, Biella approached them with a curious expression. "Mom, Zander, are you talking about my wedding?" she asked cheerfully. Madam Nousa hadn't even opened her mouth yet, but Zander quickly answered, "Yes, of course. Your mom wants to be involved in our wedding. She wants to order lots of cakes and invite her friends to our wedding." His words flowed casually, but his sharp gaze was fixed on Madam Nousa. Biella looked surprised for a moment, but then her face lit up. Even though she tried to hide her excitement, the sparkle of happiness in her eyes was unmistakable. She turned to her mother and, with a faint smile, asked, "Is that true, Mom?" Madam Nousa wanted to deny it. She wanted to outright reject this wedding, to say that Zander was not worthy of being her son-in-law. However, her heart sank when she saw Biella’s
0077-Go Ahead
The aunts’ children quickly took over the house, as if the grand mansion was their personal playground. Lauren and Chika were busy rocking back and forth on an antique rocking chair in the living room, laughing as they pushed it so hard that it nearly tipped over. Selly casually sat at the grand piano in the corner of the room, pressing random keys without care, producing an off-key cacophony that grated on the ears. Meanwhile, the triplets—Aca, Eca, and Ica—ran through the house, opening every door they came across and barging into private rooms without the slightest hesitation. It wasn’t long before they discovered the private swimming pool in the backyard. Without a second thought, the six teenage girls jumped into the water with delight, splashing around wildly and adding to the growing chaos in the house. Darren, already at his limit, abruptly stood up, slamming his fist on the dining table so hard that the silverware rattled. "Enough!" he bellowed. But the aunts
0076-The Aunts
That night, the atmosphere in the Xanta family's dining room was filled with unspoken tension. At the long dining table, illuminated by a luxurious crystal chandelier, Madam Nousa sat at the head of the table with an air of authority, watching over her children: Darren, Ganza, and Biella. Hammo was nowhere among them—he was now imprisoned in his own body, paralyzed and in pain, unaware that his private nurse, recruited by Madam Nousa, was slowly poisoning him with a substance that would gradually destroy his organs. They had just begun their meal when suddenly, the front door swung open, followed by the sound of numerous footsteps. Three middle-aged women, each carrying large suitcases, entered the house with an air of arrogance. Alongside them were six teenage girls, all in their early teens, their eyes filled with excitement as they took in the grand interior of the Xanta estate. They were Lauren and Chika, daughters of Aunt Sauna; Selly, daughter of Aunt Wulan; and the tr
0075-I Don't Like Him
**The Next Day.** A fifty-year-old man arrived at Madam Nousa's private chamber. There were five knocks on the door. Madam Nousa, who was smoking, turned toward the door with a calm expression. She already knew who had come. Austin, a man in a formal suit with a firm posture and an unreadable face, stepped inside after locking the door behind him. Though age had crept upon him, his body remained solid and strong—a remnant of his past as a former military man. For twenty-eight years, Austin had served as the personal assistant of the Xanta family, handling all affairs and acting as Hammo’s right-hand man. However, no one knew that he was also Madam Nousa’s secret lover. Their affair had begun long before Madam Nousa married Hammo, a relationship that was nothing more than an outlet for their carnal desires. Without a word, Austin loosened his tie and walked toward her. Madam Nousa stood from her chair, inhaled her cigarette deeply, then exhaled the smoke into Austin
0074-Tomorrow...Will Get Married
One hour later, Biella returned to the Xanta family home with Zander. That night felt more ominous than usual because the moment she stepped into the main hall, she immediately saw Madam Nousa arriving with Darren and Hammo, who was seated in a wheelchair. It was Madam Nousa herself who pushed the wheelchair, her expression unreadable. Darren’s gaze instantly shifted to Biella, who stood tall beside Zander. His anger flared the moment he saw the man. With a voice full of hatred, Darren snapped, “Biella! You ungrateful child! Your father is in this condition, and all you do is spend time with that useless man? You only think about yourself!” However, Biella did not react as Darren had expected. Her face remained calm, as if his words had no effect on her. With a cold yet firm tone, Biella replied, “I’m ungrateful? Darren, have you forgotten who has been paying for all of Father’s medical expenses? If not me, then who? You?” Darren was momentarily silent, but he quickly tried to d
0073-Madam N
Meanwhile, elsewhere… After Nora's departure, Darren felt utterly devastated. Without power, money, or allies, he felt cornered. At this moment, the only person left by his side was his mother, Madam Nousa. Madam Nousa gazed at her son, who sat with his head bowed. She could see the panic in Darren’s eyes. With a gentle yet firm voice, she said, “Darren, listen to me. I will always be with you, no matter what. No matter what happens. You are my son, and I will not let you fall just like that.” Darren looked up, his eyes filled with despair. “But I’ve lost everything, Mom… I have no power, no money, no allies. I don’t even know what to do anymore…” Madam Nousa gave a small smile. “You’re wrong, my dear. You still have me. And I have more power than you can imagine.” Madam Nousa, or better known as "Madam N," was a figure both feared and respected in the underground world. After entering a contract marriage with Hammo, she built the largest prostitution empire in the world. With
