Simon gave Giovanni the invitation letter while he found a way to sneak inside the mansion where the charity party was being held.

He expected the security would be tight since almost all of the invited guests were from the wealthiest families, but Simon was wrong. He easily got inside. He found a way to the dirty kitchen and from there it had been easy for Simon to enter the mansion with no sweat at all.

With the simple clothes that he was wearing, he was easily mistaken for a service crew to the party, which made Simon think that it was an advantage for him, he had driven into the opportunity to be able to roam around the mansion with no much suspicion.

As Simon roamed the mansion with a tray of champagne in his hands, he saw that almost all of the wealthy businessmen, celebrities and politicians were invited to the party.

He was looking for any evidence that there was an auction that was happening in the mansion aside from the party that it hosted.

  • The cause of his Betrayal

    The rain fell hard against the concrete jungle of Manila, veiling its sins in a curtain of gray. Federico stood beneath a flickering streetlamp, his coat soaked and heavy, a suitcase clutched tightly in his hand. Inside were the documents, codes, and blueprints—everything the Chinese syndicate needed to cripple Simon’s empire.He loathed himself.“Mr. Yang’s expecting you,” a voice rasped from the shadows.Federico didn’t flinch. He followed the man through a back alley, past a metal door that groaned open, revealing a dim-lit warehouse. Men with cold eyes and heavier guns lined the walls. At the center, seated with a cigarette lazily dangling from his lips, was Mr. Yang.“You’re late,” Yang said in Mandarin, though his tone needed no translation.“I had to make sure no one followed,” Federico replied. “Do you want the files or not?”Yang chuckled. “Desperation suits you, Federico. Tell me again—why betray your Simon?”Federico’s jaw clenched. “Because you offered me fifty million dol

  • Federico's Secret

    “Addison, you’re awake. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat or drink?” Federico was quick to intervene. He doesn’t want to witness drama, especially now that Addison was still recovering from the operation. Addison frowned at Federico, then she looked at Simon with questioning eyes. “What are you two talking about? Are you hiding something from me? It seems like Federico here was quick to change your topic.” Addison, although still weak, was able to raise her eyebrows at them, demanding answers. “Uh, no. We were just talking about a friend. You don’t know him, but if given the chance I will introduce him to you,” Simon smiled, kissed her forehead, and gave the baby to Addie. Addison was instantly lost when she saw he daughter. “Oh, I still can’t believe she’s my daughter, Simon. She’s so beautiful.” Addison chirped. “Of course, Addie. She; 's ours, it’s only fitting that she’s beautiful.” “Oh, my goodness. I’m out of hear. You know, I love little Dianne, and I love you both, but

  • Flowers from the Past

    Months after their first wedding anniversary, Addison gave birth to a healthy baby girl. She looks more like Simon than Addison and all of them were so happy to have an additional member of the family. “Oh, goodness. She’s so beautiful. Did you already have a name?” Federico held the little angel in his arms. It was one of his dreams to have a family of his own and make children. But because of the nature of his work, he chose not to do it anyway. “Well, I suggested we call her Dianne. But Addie here likes Sophia. So, yeah, we will call her Sophia Dianne.” Simon grinned as he answered. Federico looked at Simon, his eyes watered as he continued carrying the baby. His heart warms as he looks at Simon. “You look so happy, Simon. It’s so good to see you having that kind smile plastered on your face.” Simon just shrugged his shoulders and turned to look at Addie who was still sleeping. She looked so exhausted but still very beautiful. “It’s all thanks to her,” Simon answered, his wa

  • A Happy Ever After for a Mafia Boss

    ONE YEAR LATERIt’s been a year since Simon proposed to her at the airport. It was a proposal that no one expected. Simon organized it himself with the help of his friend, Black Scar, one of Hong Kong’s notorious criminals. They got married the next day as Simon didn’t want to waste time. It was a very intimate wedding and only a few guests were invited to that sacred event. Simon even organized it without them noticing his activities. He was so good at hiding things. It was quite weird for Addison because Simon was really never vocal about how he feels about her. And suddenly he proposed! They are not even couples, or he didn’t even confess his love for her even once. Eve so, Addison said yes to his marriage proposal. Why would she decline him? She loves him as much as he loves her. And he had proven himself to her already so many times that Addison knew that what they had was something real and needs to be cherished. Addison couldn’t help but smile while she was checking her mak

  • 186 - Unexpected Proposal

    The ride going to the airport was long and heart-stopping. The driver did his very best to dodge the cars that were tailing them, but it was a futile attempt. The chase was rough, though those cars did nothing but chase them, it was still rough. “Damn those bastards. What do they want? They just chased us like it was fun for them.” Ryzen shook his head as he looked at the rearview mirror. The driver of the cab did a good job of keeping them at a distance. “Don’t mind them. We will arrive at the airport in less than five minutes now. Be ready. We need to run fast as soon as this cab stops at the entrance of the airport.” Simon instructed them what to do the moment they arrived. “What? Run? But what if these men have guns? I am sure they were the ones who visited us. Damn, these Chinese gangsters!” Silence took over as they sped their way in the street. The night was ripe, it was already ten in the evening, and the streets were packed with people. Addison keeps on looking at the

  • 185 - A Rough Chase

    Fear began to envelop Addison’s chest. These armed men were looking for her and there was no way that she was going to go with them. Addison shook her head. “No. There’s no way I am going with those guys, Simon.” She took a step back, it was an act of self-preservation. Federico took a step forward in front of Addison. His hands were ready to draw guns that were hidden behind his jeans. He’s always prepared when a time like this arises. “I already talked to Black Scar, and I will talk to him again. You can’t just drag my girlfriend out of here.” Simon calmly suggests. His calm demeanor was much more scary than those men with high-powered guns. He smiled politely at those people. “I suggest that you go back now. I will call him to negotiate. Please, I don’t want any ruckus in here.” He said again, this time he was smiling. Addison swallowed an invisible lump from her throat. This was her fault. If she wasn’t so stubborn enough, this wouldn’t have happened. Now some Asian gangst
