284. El Ruffiano!
All around them, the crowd erupted in unison."Yes! Yes!" voices echoed back at the announcement, a wave of excitement rippling across the airport grounds.Despite the blazing sun overhead, no one moved an inch. Some had managed to squeeze themselves under whatever shade they could find—beneath banners, under palm trees, or huddled near the terminal walls. But many stood tall and proud right under the scorching heat, not daring to lose their spot. The Ruffian Lord was worth it.Elena nudged her mother eagerly, her eyes scanning the area like a hunter zeroing in on her prey.“The Lord is almost here,” she whispered, voice shaking with anticipation. “We have got to position ourselves somewhere we’ll be noticed. We need to be visible, mind-free, and ready for anything.”She grinned wide. “I can’t wait to meet Franco again—”She suddenly froze, eyes wide, and slapped a hand over her mouth as if trying to shove the words back in.“Oops! I meant—the Ruffian Lord. I can't wait to see the Ruf
283. He is Back In Otlanto!
Elena, her mother, her sister Maya, and Edgar stepped through the grand entrance of Ruffian Airport, their eyes wide with awe. The moment they set foot inside, it was clear—this wasn’t just an airport. It was a statement.Everywhere Elena looked, the atmosphere screamed wealth, power, and a level of luxury that could make royalty feel underdressed. The chandeliers alone looked like they cost a small fortune, and the marble floors shimmered like they'd been polished with gold dust.“Elena,” her mother whispered, almost as if afraid to speak too loudly in such opulence, “this place is... unbelievable.”And she wasn’t wrong. The entire family stood still for a moment, trying to take it all in. Elena’s mouth was slightly open, her mind racing. What is this place? she thought. This isn’t a regular airport. This is a monument.Everything had been customized to suit the Ruffians' taste—bold, extravagant, and untouchable. Anyone who had the rare chance to be in this space clearly didn’t reali
282. More To Come!
Helen almost crashed to the ground if not for the women beside her who quickly caught her. She steadied herself, her chest heaving as she looked up at Elena with eyes full of fury. Her anger boiled so hard it nearly consumed her.No one had ever dared to call her barren before. Yes, she had been married to the Minister for fifteen years without a child—but it wasn’t by choice. On her very first wedding anniversary, she had been in a terrible accident that led to a dangerous surgery. The procedure left her womb permanently removed, robbing her of the chance to ever conceive.From that day onward, Helen had lived with the unhealed wound of childlessness. It was her greatest weakness, her deepest insecurity. And whenever anyone mocked her for not having a child, it tore her apart inside.Elena knew this. She had known it for years. Back when her uncle was the CEO of Froston Group, he often instructed her to research their potential clients, many of whom were politicians. In one of those
281. Aura For Aura!
Hearing Elena’s words, the whole place fell silent.Many of them secretly agreed with her, but guilt kept their mouths shut. Amidst the hushed side whispers and the live stream’s rapidly multiplying viewers, Elena lifted her gaze and spoke again.“Everybody has their own life to live. I have mine, and you have yours. So leave me to my destiny. Don’t fucking tell me what to do when you haven’t even told yourself what to do. You are not my Creator—so what right do you have to judge me?”Her voice carried across the crowd, cutting through the air like a blade. The silence deepened. Nobody was even checking anymore if the Ruffian Lord had arrived or not; all eyes were on Elena. They stared, many silently agreeing with her words but lacking the boldness to admit it.Even Rita herself was shocked. She could hardly believe the transformation she was seeing in her daughter. Elena had always been haunted by this particular incident—so much so that it gave her sleepless nights whenever she reme
280. Bunch Of Hypocrite!
Rita shook her head slowly, her chest rising and falling as she turned to her daughters. They swallowed hard, sharing the same fear she felt. How could they possibly explain how they had gotten the invitation card? It was ridiculous. They hadn’t bought it—they had begged for it. Where would they ever find five hundred million dollars to pay for such a thing? That was impossible.And now, Helen had the audacity to demand proof of payment.Still lost in her thoughts, Elena leaned close and whispered, her voice trembling. “This is getting out of hand, Mom. Let’s just leave before they humiliate us further. We’ve endured enough insult from these people already. We should go.”But before Rita could respond, Helen’s mocking voice sliced through the air. “What are you two whispering about? If you claim to be rich and more influential than I am, then prove it. Didn’t you boast that you have evidence on your side? Then show it! Go on—present your proof. Or do you have nothing?”Elena, who had
279. Prove It!
Helen chuckled, a low sound that carried mockery. “Me? Apologize?”She scoffed, shaking her head. “I never knew goats now ask for apologies too. What sort of embarrassment is this? You expect me to apologize to you—just so I can enter the Ruffian Airport?”Her lips curved into a sly smile. “I came here with a purpose, Rita. I came to receive the blessings of the Ruffian Lord. And no matter where you stand, no matter what you’re doing, if you believe, you can still receive it. Now tell me—yes, I may be stuck in the midst of this crowd, but what if this is exactly where I’m meant to be? What if I apologize to you, follow you inside, and at the end of the day I don’t get to see my blessings? What would you say then?”Rita leaned forward, her tone sharp. “And why won’t you see your blessings, Helen? As long as you step inside and stand before the Ruffian Lord face to face, there is absolutely nothing stopping you from receiving them!”Helen nodded slowly, her eyes locking on Rita’s. “And
