Victor." Victor turned his head when he was called. He was preparing to close the store, and the manager told him to come over. "Come here."Adam Scott, the store manager, looked at Victor with his cold eyes. Victor was happy because today was his day to receive his salary."This is yours." Adam handed Victor the rather thick brown envelope, making Victor impatient and even happier when he saw that there was more money than usual."Is this my salary this month? Wow, that's a lot, Mr. Scott.""That's your severance pay." Victor was silent, stunned. "You can stop working starting tomorrow." After that, Adam turned away and didn't want to talk anymore.But Victor needed an explanation."Mr. Scott, why was I fired?""Isn't that obvious?" Adam replied casually."But why all of a sudden? My employment contract was for one year, right? It's only been three months, sir.""I have the right to do whatever I want with your contract since I'm the one who made it, and I want to terminate
Victor got out of his luxury car in front of a large church where the wedding ceremony would take place.Today was the wedding day of Maria Leighton and Verlaine Wills, just two weeks after the night when Maria shot him, and the woman would end up happy with the man of her choice."I didn't think I'd be a guest at my beloved woman's wedding," Victor said with a sad tone, but then he smiled back and said, "At least I won't be kicked out for looking poor."Victor then entered the church, and he arrived as the wedding vows were being said by the bride and groom. Victor watched the couple, who were saying their vows with solemnity. It seemed that their love was so sincere that it made Victor hold back his nausea."Verlaine Wills and Maria Leighton, I hereby pronounce you husband and wife!"Everyone in the church applauded loudly and had big smiles on their faces, blessing Verlaine and Maria for officially becoming husband and wife.Victor did, too. He clapped his hands and shouted.
Victor didn’t know how long he had been unconscious, but when he opened his eyes, all he saw was the ceiling of the hospital room and the face of a man staring at him with his big eyes.“Are you already conscious?” asked the man with slightly curly brown hair, looking surprised. “I’ll call the doctor right away!”“How long have I been unconscious?” asked Victor, making the man pause and look at Victor. “Sit down and let me ask. I’m fine, so I don’t really need a doctor.”The man was a little dumbfounded at Victor’s words.“You’re fine? Sir, you were in a coma for 5 days and almost died of blood loss. If I hadn’t found you while cleaning the hotel room, you would’ve died from the deep gunshot wound on your shoulder.”Victor was pensive, remembering what happened to him.That night, Maria really shot him; it was unexpected that the woman Victor loved would try to kill him.“Sir, I know life isn’t easy or fair for everyone, but suicide isn’t the only way.”Victor glanced at the m
Victor was in Benjamin's room, sitting on the chair that Benjamin usually sat on while working. As a result of the violent robbery incident, Benjamin was left in a coma. A severe head injury was the reason, and Victor took over Benjamin's position as the leader in the family and in the company. The police stated that the incident was a robbery, and they were trying to find the perpetrator even though it seemed a little harder."It feels like it was a ghost and not a robber that entered my grandpa's room," Victor said, still thinking about the robbery. "There's no footage of the robber entering, passing through the corridor, or being near Grandpa's room. Judging by the number of items missing, it's thought that only one robber entered." Victor laughed a little, but what he was thinking was no joke. "If it's not a ghost, then what kind of professional would have broken into Grandpa's room that night? He also did it under 12 p.m., while most robbers would break into their target's hou
Victor ran down the deserted hospital hallway, rushing towards the front of the ICU room where Yohan was waiting for him. "Young master...." Yohan stood up and approached Victor, who looked panicked and confused. Anyone in Victor's position would probably panic and not expect anything like him. Victor did not think that there would be a robber who entered Benjamin's room and hurt him. "Grandpa...." "The medics are still trying to heal him." "Is it worse?" asked Victor. Yohan didn't answer, and Victor saw his expression. That was enough to answer Victor's question. The man approached the door of the ICU room and saw the busy medics, moving quickly to save Benjamin, who had been injured badly. Victor could not see his grandfather's face, but just looking at the amount of blood around the bed where Benjamin lay, Victor could already tell how serious the situation was right now. Victor moved away from the door, looking very anxious, tense, and somewhat confused. "What exactly happe
"I was quite sad not to see you at our wedding. I wish you could have come and blessed us."Antonio laughed at Victor's words. He seemed to be trying to keep his cool, even though he wanted to crush Victor. Antonio came down the stairs, facing Victor more closely."After seeing it up close, that arrogance you hide behind your mask looks even more annoying," Antonio said."Really?" retorted Victor, "even though I'm not wearing any masks and have nothing to hide from you.""So you're going to openly show your desire to destroy me? Is that why you married my daughter?"Violet gave Victor and her father a worried look. Victor said, "Do you know why someone would share a bus seat even with a stranger? It's because they have the same goal." Antonio gave Violet a cold, cynical glance, making her lower her head even more."I'm not surprised. Even from the beginning, I understood that the baluch would still grow into an obstacle, but at least I'm glad that it has found a new host."Violet did
Victor prepared a very festive wedding for Violet. No one could stop them. Even when Benjamin expressed his disapproval of the wedding, he still let Victor use his money to organize the most festive wedding party in town. Victor invited a lot of people; he even invited Violet’s entire family to come. Although he knew that Violet’s father would definitely not come, Victor was quite surprised when he saw Maria in his dressing room. The woman seemed to be holding back anger, looking like she was going to throw Victor with her expensive bag, but she pulled Victor’s collar and kissed him. Victor didn’t move, but that didn’t mean he liked it. “Are you drunk?” asked Victor. Maria tried to kiss him again, but this time Victor dodged. “Think about what will happen to you if I spread this news to the media.” Maria stared sharply. “Maria Leighton, the favorite daughter of Leighton’s businessmen, came to secretly meet the future husband of her sister and planned an affair? No, maybe
Rihana led Dylan to a deserted parking lot. She guided him toward her car, to give Dylan a change of clothes as she had promised."You come alone, miss?" asked Dylan, walking behind Rihana."Yes, I came alone.""But, wait a minute... doesn't it seem like I know you?""Yes?" Rihana looked at Dylan."You're Rihana Barney? A famous influenser from New Orleans, right?" Rihana smiled as Dylan recognized her. "You're an influencer who is famous for donating, and you're a cosmetics entrepreneur who started your career without any help from your father, even though your father is a successful businessman. Wow... I didn't expect to meet you here.""You're praising me too much, sir, I'm not that good.""That's not a compliment, Miss, that's the truth," Dylan said, already telling the truth but Rihana was treating him as if he was teasing her.She was more narcissistic than Dylan thought."But I'm quite surprised, you don't look this sexy on social media. I'm sorry, I'm just confused as to which
Dylan walks into a nightclub with his new look. Playing his part and trying his best to achieve his main goal for the night; getting Rihana Barney's attention."I don't know what to do," Dylan said, sitting down on a single sofa and watching the people partying with a proudly uplifted face. Trying to look like a man who was used to such an atmosphere, even though he was a little confused. "If it wasn't for this being the best plan, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to do this nonsense."Dylan thought about the outcome of the meeting that night, which led to him ending up in this role tonight.But he ended up annoyed, "Damn. Leighton's family is still very famous even if it's a child she didn't recognize."That night, Dylan had felt surprised and tense when Victor asked him to do the task. The task of approaching Rihana Barney."Me? Why me? You know I'm probably not talented at that sort of thing, Vic," Dylan said, anxious and insecure."I'd do it if I could," Victor replied, "and they
