2026-07-28 23:10:02The humiliation became louder with every ticking second.
"Time up!" The chief receptionist snapped and spun to the Securities. "Crush his leg and drag him out of this place!" The Securities stood straighter and moved to carry out the command. They gripped their baton tightly, ready to strike. Derogatory comments whired in the air. "Teach him a lesson he'll never forget!" "Let him crawl out with crippled." "Knock some senses into his dumb skull. A nobody trying to ruin the reputation of Mrs. Carrington didn't deserve Mercy." Suddenly, the door of the room burst open with a slam against the the wall. Heads turned in the direction, conversations reduced, everyone's gaze landed on the two women who had just arrived at the lobby. Gasps rippled through the air. One man pointed his trembling finger, his eyes wide. "Isn't that Mrs. Carrington? I'm seeing her physical for the first time! Wow, she's even more beautiful in person." "Mrs. Carrington is here? What she doing here. She was once one of the most beautiful young bachelorette in Valeria before she got married. She's still looking gorgeous." Another woman said. The lobby paused to stare with shock in their expression, especially some staff employees— some of them were seeing her for the first time since they got employed at the hospital. Mrs. Carrington doesn't use the door whenever she comes around to supervise the company—Channel is by airborne, private helicopter at the helipad at the top of the building. Her presence radiated an aura of command without trying. Her gaze landed on Kade at the front of the receptionist desk. "That braggart is finished!" "Mrs. Carrington will have no Mercy on him for this insult!" "It's a huge embarrassment for the Carrington family for a common street beggar to think he has an entitlement to Elena Carrington." The staff employees sneaked back to their duty, even the securities stiffened in place. Contrary, the Chief receptionist stepped forward confidently to welcome Mrs. Carrington with a wide exciting smile. "What is going on here?" Mrs. Carrington toned, her voice low, masked with restrained anger. "Mrs. Carrington it's good to see you in person." The chief receptionist stepped gushed. Her finger snapped at Kade accusingly. "This young man came here to insult you, and he even threatened to have me fired like he employs me here. That is a challenge to your authority. I deeply apologize for bringing you down because of this minor issue, Ma. I was about to remove the nuisance..." The receptionist thought it was because of her Mrs. Carrington came down. "Nuisance?" Mrs. Carrington growled, her voice laced with anger she was struggling to control. Her expression was calm but the anger burning inside has the potential to burn down an estate. Her voice came out trembling like something inside was falling apart. "Did you know who the man you just called a Nuisance is?" Yet, the Chief receptionist was unaware of the trouble that was about to happen to her. The chief receptionist cast a disdainful back at Kade. "You see what you've caused? If you make Mrs. Carrington to get angry at me, I swear I'll kill you.." She whispered to Kade's hearing only, but Mrs. Carrington heard her. "You will do what?" He voice spiked, unable to suppress the anger she was holding back anymore. Her arm flew out next, cutting through the air like a whip. Mrs. Carrington's palm connected cleanly with her face, the impact echoed off the wall like thunderclap. The lobby gasped in shock.

She repeated, her voice was barely a whisper like the response alone was enough to make her understand that she was in a grave danger. She lost her memory, and now she was about to be sold off to some stranger like a mere object.Her survival instinct kicked in immediately. She patted her pocket frantically, searching for her phone. It was gone. Her stomach sank."They took my phone." "They took everyone's phone. They will probably sell it to illegal dealers." That was the new phone Kade purchased for her the previous day. "I have a phone with me..but I can't remember any number to call. My head is empty." A small voice came from the corner of the room, but Audible. It was a young girl with an acute stress reaction, probably mid twenties. She pr

A cold metal pressed against her neck.Sophia flinched, trembling on the leather seat."Don't shout," A deep masculine voice rumbled at the back seat, "or I'll slit your throat."

Attractive, yet modest.Satisfied with her look, she walked to the bed and sat at the edge. She bent slightly, sliding a black heels into her feets. Lastly, she grabbed her clutch on the bed and clicked back to the mirror, making sure everything was perfect.She stepped out of her room to the main room."You're all prepared." Kade stepped out in a plain shirt. He observed her dressing for a few seconds and nodded gently. "Presentable." "Thank you." Sophia smiled lightly."The room service brought in breakfast." He stepped forward, passing beside her to the dinning room."What's that?" Sophia clicked Behind him."I asked them to prepare something good." He simply said, standing at the table where silver trays spread across with expensive wines and juices. He open one lid. The trapped aroma and steam hit his face. Kad

Kade and Sophia returned back to the hotel with the shopping bag spilled behind them on the bed. Suits, pants, and other kinds of clothes that would make the task ahead goes smoothly.They both stood at a table at the centre of the room, bright light cast on freshly printed documents that contained the operational blueprint of the Mercer headquarters.Kade pointed at one. "Mercer headquarters has nine major departments." He said, his voice sharp. "It won't be easy to get all information from the department. You infiltrate, then you use the charismatic charm on them. Only then can you make alliance." He said.Sophia nodded in understanding."So, you'll be working here." He circled one department on the sheet."Finance department."

All of them." She walked closer to Kade who seated calmly , leaning his back against the chair in relaxed posture."I need your help." She said, almost persuading. "We have the same goal now. Revenge. Let's work together." Kade chuckled, sitting straighter and looking at her."And what makes you think I can help you?" "Because you're capable." She said confidently. Kade raised a brow, clueless about her statement. "You rescued me from that accident that night when no one could help me. You're capable." "That's assumption." Kade said."It's fact." She retorted quickly."You're going to a war with no memories. That's suicide. Even I'll help you, it's a blind war." He exhaled sharply. "The Mercer family you knew when
