2025-03-03 03:39:59"Take a look at the badge again; this is a giant dragon and not a bear!" Eric said, causing the security guard to take the invite again, taking one last look.
"“No wonder I always felt something was off! So that's what it is! You're right!" he said in a rage. This mistake could make him lose his job; thinking of the possibility of that, he was immediately enraged. "You came here, thinking that you could deceive your way in?" he asked. "I'm not surprised that you could stoop so low, Ethan. You must have planned this with Roseanna, but do you actually know what's funny?" She paused, turning to Eric before shifting her gaze back to them. "It's funny how it almost worked if not for Eric," she added. "You should be grateful for the kind of senior manager that you have because trust me, if any other official had found out, you would have lost your job," Dana said. "You're dressed in a fine suit, but your attitude downgrades your personality." The security guard commented, feeling disgusted. "Anyway. I didn't forget our bet. I'm looking forward to seeing the both of you on your knees," Dana said, smiling mischievously. "But there's one more thing! I can save the both of you from the shame and embarrassment by letting you guys in, but Ethan has to do something for me first," Roseanna scoffed, gazing at her, "And what is that?" "Ethan will have to beg me. Apologize to me for what happened yesterday, and I want him to do it on his knees. I want to see that you regret bringing the papers for me to sign in the first place," she said, but Ethan rolled his eyes and shifted his gaze to the security man, the person who he actually has to explain to. "Look here, I'm sure you're misunderstanding...." "What's going on here?" The security captain walked in; he had been noticing the arguments going on for minutes, and he needed to come see it for himself. "Sir, this invite card was forged. The man and his lady tried to fool me; how desperate can one be?" he added. The security captain took the invitation and turned pale with shock. “This… This is…!” “Captain! Isn’t their forgery extremely poor?” A security guard laughed. “They even got the emblem wrong, mistaking a dragon for a bear…” “Shut up!” The security captain angrily raised his hand and slapped the guard. “Captain! What… What are you doing?!” The security guard panicked, trembling all over as he asked in fear. “Have you never read the security manual? The company issued three types of invitations today. The Silver Bear is just the most basic one! The highest-level invitation is marked with a dragon, which means they hold the company’s Supreme Card!” The security captain was about to lose his mind. Holders of Secret Company’s Supreme Card had a status equivalent to board members! Even if they didn’t own shares, they still possessed various privileges—far beyond what low-ranking security guards like them could afford to offend! “Su… Supreme Card? The highest-level invitation?” The security guard was dumbfounded, and even Dana and Eric couldn’t believe it. “That’s impossible!” Dana lost control and screamed at the security captain. “You must be mistaken! How could these two losers be Supreme Card holders of Secret Company? They’re just garbage!” Eric also growled in anger. “You’re the security captain—you should know that Supreme Card holders are of the highest status. How could these two pieces of trash have one?” The security captain frowned, his face turning serious. He respectfully bowed to Ethan and asked, “Excuse me, sir, may I verify your Supreme Card?” “Hah! I guarantee he doesn’t have a Supreme Card! That invitation is obviously fake!” Dana screamed hysterically. “When his lie is exposed, Secret Company won’t let them go! You have no idea how powerful the company is. You’ll end up as beggars, roaming the streets for the rest of your lives!” Eric added. Surrounded by skeptical gazes, Ethan chuckled. “A Supreme Card, huh? Turns out, I do have one.” Ethan pulled out his wallet, which contained numerous different cards. Casually flipping through them, he took out an exquisitely crafted black card and tossed it to the security captain. “Go ahead, check it thoroughly so these idiots won’t keep whining.” Ethan said nonchalantly. “Ethan… I… I’m a little nervous!” Rosanna’s voice trembled. Everything happening now was far beyond her expectations and control. “Relax,” Ethan said gently. His calm voice somehow reassured Rosanna, making her feel at ease. The security captain took the Supreme Card and pulled out a scanning device, swiping the card lightly. Everyone anxiously awaited the result. Beep… Supreme Card, Number 0001. Security Clearance: Highest. Holder’s information: Unavailable. Welcome, esteemed Supreme Guest, to Secret Company! The entire room fell into silence. “What does that mean?” Dana frowned. “What do you mean, ‘information unavailable’?” The security captain trembled. He respectfully returned the card to Ethan, nearly kneeling on the spot. “S… Sorry! Esteemed Supreme Guest, please forgive our negligence. You and your companion may enter.” “Wait! How does ‘information unavailable’ prove that his Supreme Card is real? Are you covering for him?!” Dana shrieked. “Enough! This is Supreme Card No. 0001—the most prestigious of all Supreme Cards! We don’t even have the clearance to access the cardholder’s identity!” the security captain roared. He hated Dana to the core. If not for her, how could he have offended the holder of Supreme Card No. 0001?! “This… This can’t be real…” Dana murmured in disbelief, her eyes lifeless. “Alright, no need to be too scared. It’s your duty to carefully check everyone’s credentials,” Ethan said calmly. The security captain was so overwhelmed with emotion that he nearly cried—Ethan wasn’t blaming him! “Thank you! Thank you for your generosity!” However, Ethan then casually remarked, “But… what should be done about those who offended a Supreme Guest?” His gaze landed on Dana and Eric, filled with meaning. The security captain immediately understood. He straightened up and firmly declared, “Rest assured, esteemed Supreme Guest. These two will absolutely not be allowed into the banquet tonight!” Ethan chuckled, patted the captain’s shoulder, and walked into the banquet with Rosanna. “Wait!” Dana shrieked and tried to rush forward for an explanation. But— She slammed into someone hard. Looking up, she saw the security captain’s cold, resentful face. “The Supreme Guest has spoken,” he said icily. “You—and that man over there—aren’t stepping foot inside tonight!”

Roseanna couldn't stop grinning as Dana took some steps away from the entrance. "Dana," Roseanna called, "Don't forget to kneel," she reminded before walking into the hall with Ethan, causing Dana to boil. "Eric!!!! What kind of humiliation is this?" She asked, furiously. "Calm down, Dana; I'm trying to sort things out," he informed. "Why is it taking time for you to sort things out? Can you do it immediately!" She said. Seeing that speaking with the security captain was useless, Eric took his phone out of his pocket and dialed his boss number. "Who are you calling?" Dana was being impatient. "My boss. He can sort the matter," he responded. "Hello, Mr. Will Port," Eric said as soon as the man answered the call. Will Port owns 5% of Secret Company's shares, and Eric has been bribing him for the longest time now. "I need your help. I'm at the commercial dinner party, and I'm outside the entrance. The guards wouldn't let me in," Eric explained. "And why is that?" Will Port as

"Wow, I can't wait to finally see the owner of this great company," Dana said, sounding so excited. Every single person was. "When he comes, I really hope to meet him," she said, smiling sheepishly. "That's not a problem at all. Once he's here, I can take you to him!" Eric informed, causing the smile on Dana's face to broaden. She was excited and already planned a party in her head to celebrate when she gets home as one of Secret Company's business partners. "Then, I'm sure we can ask him to investigate the badge that Ethan has." She said, making sure that Roseanna could hear her. "When he finally finds out that the badge was stolen or fake, I'm certain that they'll be in great trouble." She added, smiling mischievously. "Decorum." The host said, causing the room to turn quiet. "Here are the names of companies that Secret Company would be cooperating with." She paused, holding out the paper for better reading access. "Dominick Company. Fins Line Company. Double Tech company. D&D

"Decorum." The host said, trying to get their attention. "Nothing had changed in the list, and it was not modified. What I read to you all was exactly what was given to me," she said sternly. "But Dana's name was originally determined by the company to be on that list, right?" Will asked. "Mr. Will Port. This list is the company's final decision," she said sternly. Expecting him to walk back to his seat, but unfortunately, the man was stubborn. "I heard that someone tried stopping Dana and the senior manager of this company from entering this dinner hall." He paused, turning to the people sitting in the crowd. "The man was with a supreme badge," he added. Eric had initially pointed Ethan to Will while they both walked up to the stage, so right now, Will tried searching for the person that Eric had shown him. "I'm certain that after he saw Dana was back at the dinner party, he must have turned angry and used his supreme badge to deceive you, right? Because the lady by his side i

"He is the mysterious owner of Secret Corporation? No wonder he hides his identity—he looks too young, not mature enough.""I wonder which powerful family he belongs to.

Shocked, Rosanna took a step back; her face turned deathly pale."Er... 50 million USD," she swallowed, seeing the smirk on Norlan's face."I'll pay the money! I'm not getting married to you. It's the money you want, right...?"Of course! You'll pay me, and that would be in our bedroom, right?" Norlan said, irritating Rosanna."No! I'll pay you the 50 million USD. That's what my parents owe you, right?" She asked.Norlan laughed as if he had heard a joke, "How do you intend to pay me a whopping 50 million USD? Even with your job as the CEO of Milma company, there's no way you must have made that sum of money except if you've been stealing from them.""I have secured a collaboration with a secret company, which would bring in profits far exceeding 50 million USD." She informed him, causing Norlan to burst into a fit of laughter again; this time, he laughed even harder."You know, this sounds even better because after you become my wife, the collaboration you have secured would belong t

Everyone was stunned; the hair on their skin stood as they murmured amongst themselves in nothing but complete fear. They never expected Ethan to go to such extreme length. "What has he done?" "Is he aware of the repercussions of his actions?" "He's in big trouble now. The Santos family will definitely take severe revenge, and he will regret what he has done." Their whispers didn't go unheard by Ethan. Roseanna swallowed hard; her hand was fidgeting and sweaty. Although Roseanna admired and respected Ethan for a million and one things, she had little definite information about him. Her knowledge of Ethan was limited to his influential position in Secret Company, which was not enough to withstand the revenge of the Santos family. Ethan narrowed his eyes, not taking the Santos family seriously. He knew exactly who the Santos family was, but he didn't care. Roseanna watched as Norlan wailed on his knees, in fear, she moved closer to Ethan and took his hand, "Let's go.

At that moment, Roseanna's cousin, Amelia who has been on her phone even before Roseanna came in accidentally came across the news of what happened at the commercial dinner party, it was spreading like wide fire with views more than 7.2 million. "Aunty! Uncle.... I think you all need to see this," she said, rushing to where they stood, with her grandparents and her cousin, Roseanna. "What's it, child?" Roseanna's grandmother asked, curious to know what made Amelia yell in the middle of an important matter. "Norlan Santos was attacked at the commercial dinner party and unfortunately, he was beaten to a pulp that his balls was even crushed and according to the news, he won't be able to best children again" She paused, "And here, the Santos family is looking for Norlan's attacker, and people in the comments here say that he's Roseanna's kept man." She added. Her parents face immediately turned pale out of disappointment. "Rose, do you know this man?" Roseanna's mother asked stil

Meanwhile, Ethan knew he had to leave the penthouse that he stayed in. Until now he has been living there, and it was finally time for him to settle down properly. "Here are the keys!" He said, handling it to the housekeeper, before heading out through the door. Ethan took his phone out of his front pocket and casually dialed Lilian's number. "Hello," she answered the call before it could ring for a second time. "Hello, Lilian, do you know of any suitable place for me to stay?" He asked "Yes, sir. The villa at the heart of the city had always been reserved for you, and the servants there are waiting for your arrival. I have ensured that the place is well maintained and, most especially, remodeled to meet your taste," she informed. "I'll send you the address now," she added, causing Ethan to respond, saying, "Okay." Before ending the call. In less than 3 seconds after the call, Lillian sent him the address of the villa she spoke about. "Sir.... You forgot something." The houseke

They couldn't stop stealing glances of themselves, waiting for the first person that would talk and call him a liar, as no one but Roseanna believed him.Just then, the butler of the house walked into their midst with Nina, Belen's girlfriend.Belen was surprised to see her. "Babe, you didn't tell me that you were coming over," he said."I texted your phone 30 minutes ago. I was in the area, so I decided to come say hi to Grandma," she said, flashing a sweet smile at the old lady of the Milma family.In a second, the smile on her face immediately disappeared as she turned to Ethan and said, "This man is lying. I overheard most of the conversation from the door, and this man here is lying to your faces!" She loudly declared.Everyone immediately shifted their full attention to her. "Are you sure of what you're saying?" Roseanna's grandmother asked."I wouldn't have said it if I wasn't so sure." She paused and quickly stole a glance at Ethan before continuing."I had already investigate

"What? You must be joking! How on earth will you say that he is the mysterious boss of the secret company?" The old lady of the house spoke first, stunned."How else do you think I was able to leave Sergio's residence?" Why else do you think Dana stood up for me? I mean, isn't it surprising to you?" Dana asked."Unfortunately, I don't think this family is in his good books, as Belen has already offended him." She added.Her grandmother quickly walked closer to her, held her shoulder, and asked,"What did Belen do?""He insulted him. Unfortunately, the man got really upset, and he has a good relationship with the new heir of the Santos empire." She informed her, causing her grandmother to immediately turn to Belen with eyes blurring in anger before saying,"What have you caused, Belen? Do you hear what your cousin is saying? You've ended up putting us in grave trouble; this could be the final end of us," she panicked."You see what your pampering has caused, Mother. The boy doesn't hav

At Milma's Estate— Roseanna returned home. She didn't get the usual she normally got at the door when the butler would welcome her and take her bag.As she stepped into the sitting room, the piercing gaze of her parents, grandparents, and cousins fell on her.She paused for a second, taking a step forward when her mother angrily stood up, "What are you doing here, Roseanna? What have you caused? You should be in the Santos family; at least you're the price paid for the mess you caused." Her mom said, with no sign of being glad to see her daughter.Roseanna opened her lips to speak, but her mouth betrayed her as she couldn't mutter a single word.This was a peek at what the word "words can destroy" means."Don't even think of saying that he let you because the Santos family have been completely unreachable now and you're completely unharmed"The word "unharmed" rang in her ears, causing her heart to immediately fall into pieces. She immediately came to an agreement with the thought tha

The men didn't think twice before walking towards Ethan, about to hold him when Ethan furiously stopped them, saying, "Don't lay your hands on me." He was angry and just couldn't stand the fat man in a suit. "You don't have any right to stop any man from going into the building, whether poor or rich; your job is to make sure everyone is safe, so if you'll stop being a nuisance, get out of my way, and let me do my business," Ethan said sternly, causing the bodyguard to scoff. "A poor man that knows the laws, do you think these things apply here?" "I think I've been too easy on you; if you know what's best for you, you'll leave this place this instant!" He warned. "Because trust me, when the mysterious man that the manager is expecting arrives, you'll surely pay for littering this premises with your filthy body!" He was insulted. Ethan already had all his insults and humiliating comments on his jaw; he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "That's enough." He paused for emphasis; di

Ethan sighed in relief after seeing his savings; he knew that there was no way anyone could beat him at the auction with the kind of money that he was ready to spend on the item. "But sir, that's not all you should know when going for the auction," the man on the other side of the phone said. "What else should I know? I'm all ears!" Ethan said, waiting for the man to speak. "When you bid the highest, send the money from a local account, and you can't use money with the secret account, okay?" Ethan nodded, still considering how he could move that amount of money in just a short time. "I'll have to go to a bank to make a transfer to a local account then!" Ethan finally said, "Yes," the man responded before ending the call. Ethan swallowed hard and shook his head helplessly; before scrolling through his phone, he finally found the number that he was looking for. "Bank manager!" It was the name the number was saved with. "Hello Mr. Ethan, to what do I owe this call?" The manager

"Well, Roseanna. The mysterious boss will surely have nothing to do with Roseanna anymore; he must have definitely approved the modified list for Roseanna's sake, right?" Will said, getting somewhere, although he was still unable to grasp the point."Yeah... And?" Dana said, impatient."This means that Roseanna is no longer a threat; Ethan is!""Do you think I'm dumb? I know Ethan is the threat; Ethan is the only reason why Roseanne got those favors, although I don't know how he did it." She said, feeling agitated, as she went back to sit on her bed."Okay then. We need to target the Milma family. At the moment, targeting Roseanna's family, which is currently wise, as it would be killing two birds with one stone," he explained."The mysterious boss won't be angered by this because he now perceives Roseanna as a whore.""And Ethan would do, he might not even speak in her favor with him again! But we shouldn't put this plan at risk by assuming what Ethan would and would not do."A smile

The second the news fell on Nina and Belen's ears, they turned to face each other, not hiding the shock on their faces."He must be tripping, right?" Belen chuckled dryly, taking it as a joke.Sergio is like a tree rooted strongly in his habitat and cannot be taken out, so it was quite difficult for news like that to be taken seriously."My boss was damn serious, Belen; he never jokes around with things like this," Nina informed; her palms were sweaty for reasons she could not define."You better believe it, Nina, if you want to keep your job! The Santos family you solely rely on can no longer help you!" Ethan said sternly, gazing directly into Belen's eyes because the disrespect to Roseanna was from Belen."What are you both still doing, standing in front of us! Get the f**k out of our faces!" He thundered.In fear, Belen and Nina didn't wait for a second more before leaving Ethan's presence.Letting out a sigh, Ethan put his hands together on the table and turned to Roseanne, who se

"Your words are nothing but empty threats! What protection do you possibly think you can provide against the Santos family?" Belen asked before shifting his attention back to Roseanna, ready to say more mean words to her. "Look who you're dining with. Someone that could get himself killed with his words," Belen hissed. "You suddenly forgot that the only reason why you're breathing is because Sergio is protecting you. You forget too easily, or you don't know what to prioritize?" Belen asks. Just like every other person in her family, Belen was selfish, thinking of things that would be of his best interest. "You should start going, man!" Ethan said sternly, "You're disturbing my dinner with Roseanna," he added. The second those words escaped Ethan's lips, it felt to Belen like he was just slapped in the face. "How dare you? You know what, I don't think I'd waste my time handling you." He paused, standing upright, ignoring the fact that he has been attracting the attention of

Ethan exited the building and got to his car, driving to his villa. On getting there, he headed straight to the room only to find. Roseanna in the same position he left her, still wrapped in a blanket on the bed, completely naked. "Mhmmmm...." She made a sound, as she slowly opened her eyes the second the felt the presence of someone in the room. "I got you some clothes to change into," He informed as he handed her the clothes. The aura in the room suddenly changed, becoming more intensed. Roseanna coughed, gesturing that Ethan should look away, "Oh... I'm sorry..." Ethan awkwardly said and looked away. Roseanna slowly climbed down from the bed and quickly got dressed into the gown that Ethan handed to her. "I'm done," She said and sat on the bed. Ethan felt uncomfortable because the burning silence and tension in the room. "Rose... Come with me for dinner," he said in a soft and memorizing voice. Roseanna swallowed hard before nodding her head. He held out his hand a
