Vincent managed to find Milea in the city park. She was walking slowly and sitting on a swing near the playground where children usually play in the park. Her gaze was blank and she looked very sad. She was still thinking about the incident with her ex-boyfriend.

"Milea!" Vincent exclaimed as he approached her. Milea turned to him.

"Why can you always find me Vin?" Milea was surprised. She hurriedly wiped her tears that fell on her cheeks.

"Is my dad telling you to keep an eye on me now?" Milea guessed.

"Let's go home!" invited Vincent. He ignored Milea's question.

"I don't want to," Milea refused, looking away.

"We should go home first," Vincent persuaded. Milea did not say yes to Vincent's invitation.

"Your father is very worried about you, Milea," Vincent informed her. However, Milea did not take Vincent's word for it.

"I don't want to go home. My father has taken my place with you. Now, you are his son," Milea reasoned. However, the reasoning put forward by the spoilt child did not make sense.

Vincent's forehead furrowed into folds. "That was a long time ago. If I want to be his son, then I have to marry you first. Right now, I'm just his subordinate. You are his daughter, Milea," Vincent consoled. Milea looked away with a sardonic smile at that.

"Marry you? Ridiculous!" mocked Milea. "You don't deserve to be with me, Vin," she snapped.

"So, is a brat like that guy worthy of being your companion?" Vincent turned Milea's question around.

"I think I'm a thousand times better than him," Vincent joked. Milea smiled briefly. It was a rather wry smile.

Milea was silent for a long time. Vincent's words were true. The man who became her jerk lover really didn't deserve Milea. Vincent tried to convince Milea that she wanted to come home with him. Although it was rather difficult for Vincent to persuade her at this time.

"Let's go home! I'll take you to your father's house," Vincent said again. "How long are you going to stay here? It's a waste of time."

This time, Milea would do as Vincent said. Finally, she wanted to go back to Mr Eduardo's house. Milea straightened her clothes and make-up before entering her home. She didn't want her father to to see her very messy appearance.

Milea asked Vincent to keep the unpleasant incident a secret from Mr Eduardo. Both of them have agreed. Vincent promised Milea that he would not tell Mr Eduardo the truth.

From a distance, a black car was stalking Vincent and Milea on the side of the road. Vincent did not know that he was being watched by someone. He didn't know it. It was definitely a man. He was watching all of Vincent's movements. Including who Vincent meets and talks to.

On the other hand, there was also a mysterious man hiding in a different car. The man smiled sarcastically after seeing with his own eyes and head. Vincent was so close to Milea, Mr Eduardo's only daughter.

The man even got important information that Vincent and Milea had been matched by Mr Eduardo. It was an informant in his office who had told him. The information also mentioned that they would soon have a wedding.

"I swear I will destroy you, Vin," Edward said in the car.

After seeing Vincent and Milea's intimacy, Edward got a good idea to get back at Vincent for what his biggest rival had done to him. Edward would use Milea as a tool to destroy Vincent's life and career.

'You'll see, Vin!' Edward promised.

***

Vincent pondered all night, before he went to bed. The GPS tracking device on Milea's mobile phone could only work temporarily. When Milea's phone was deactivated, Vincent couldn't keep an eye on her continuously. There must be another solution, he thought.

Vincent thought again. He wanted to make a tracking device for Milea. Just in case one day. If she was ever out of his reach.

"I need my computer," Vincent thought. Because all the programmes he needed Vincent needed, were on his old computer.

Vincent thought of his computer that his landlady had confiscated the other day. He had to get it back immediately. Maybe tomorrow. Before she sold it to the flea market.

Knock-knock-knock!

Someone knocked on Vincent's door from outside. He got out of bed and was about to open the door.

"Mr Eduardo?" Vincent was surprised to see Milea's father standing in front of his bedroom door.

"Please come in, sir," Vincent invited.

Mr Eduardo entered Vincent's room. For the past few days, Vincent had been living in his large and luxurious house. He had never expected that Mr Eduardo would take him home to live in his house.

"Do you feel at home here?" Mr Eduardo asked Vincent, pleasantly.

Vincent smiled and thanked Mr Eduardo for being so kind to him. In that house he felt he had been well received, even in his company.

"What happened to Milea this afternoon, Vin?" Mr Eduardo changed the subject. He seemed to know something about what had happened that afternoon at his ex-girlfriend Milea's house.

Vincent tried to cover up the matter. However, he was still found out. There were many ways that Mr Eduardo could extract information about what had just happened to his daughter.

Vincent finally told Mr Eduardo the truth. Because there was no way he could hide the serious incident that happened to Mr Eduardo's daughter. The old man had a right to know.

"I'm sorry, sir," Vincent regretted. He felt so guilty for hiding Milea's problem from Mr Eduardo.

"There's no need to regret it. I just want you to watch Milea more closely. Don't let your guard down, Vin! Because danger is always around the corner," Mr Eduardo warned Vincent.

"Yes, sir. I understand," Vincent obeyed. He also lowered his gaze.

"Good job, Vin!" praised Mr Eduardo.

"May I know why you trusted me with Milea?" Vincent asked. He was very curious about Mr Eduardo's intentions.

"Vin, I can only trust you for now. I'm old and can't watch Milea all the time. That's why my daughter really needs you by her side," explained Mr Eduardo. "So, I beg you. Don't waste my trust in you," he pleaded.

Vincent understood. He would try to obey Mr Eduardo's orders as well as carry out his mandate. After a few hours of talking about Milea, Mr Eduardo left, leaving Vincent alone in his room. The night was getting late.

"How do I solve this problem? It seems like it will be difficult to handle Milea," Vincent thought somewhat confused.

Why isn't Milea allowed in? She asked in surprise. Because Alvin ordered the security guards to tighten the security around the Vice President's room."Move aside!" ordered Milea rather fiercely at the two security guards standing in front of Vincent's office door."Sorry, Miss! Young Master Vincent does not allow you to enter his office," the security guards respectfully forbade in front of Milea."What did you say?" Milea was furious.

    "I didn't mean it like that, Mr Eduardo," Vincent tried to explain."So you deliberately destroyed your work? Didn't you prepare a backup?" Mr Eduardo was astonished."I couldn't, sir. I had to recreate the application rather than have it end up in a mess. Besides, the programme had already been read by someone else. I don't want anyone else to know the raw programme," Vincent explained again.Mr Eduardo understood. He understood completely and was very supportive of the decision Vincent had made. According to Mr Eduardo, Vincent was too brave to take that risk. Salute to him."Vin, from now on just use my company. It will also be yours one day.

He smiled with satisfaction after hearing that Vincent would sign the agreement with his company.After contacting Edmund, Vincent went to meet the programmers that Alvin had prepared. He took a look at how the programmers worked. There was nothing doubtful at first glance. Maybe it was just Vincent's feelings. Because he was not used to working in a group. He was too comfortable working alone and was very careful in recruiting employees.The briefing began. Vincent briefly explained the concept of the marketplace programme that he would develop to the team. After the discussion, the programmers immediately occupied their respective positions. They started working. Meanwhile, he was going to meet E

Let's get straight to the topic. Coincidentally, they were discussing the arranged marriage. Perfect timing for Vincent, he thought.Milea glanced sarcastically at her fiancé-to-be. She had guessed that Vincent would do the same thing as her. Protest loudly. Because the ignorant man must have been annoyed by the sudden news."I don't think it's a rush. I've been planning it for a long time," Mr Eduardo reasoned."But sir... you know that I've been playing with projects lately," Vincent reasoned."Yes, that I know. Have you forgotten, Vin? The condition you have to fulfil for me is to marry my daughter," said Mr Eduardo, reminding Vincent again.Damn! It was true.

    A few days later...It was a busy morning at the airport. An exclusive jet waited on the tarmac, preparing to take Valeria back to Italy. As a Mafia Lady, she was now not just a guest on a visit to Japan, but someone highly respected by the Ryuujin-kai, the organization that had once viewed her as a threat after Lorenzo.Near the steps of the airplane, Vincent stood, looking at Valeria with a look that was hard to interpret. “Why didn't that woman cry at all after Lorenzo died?”Milea elbowed Vincent's arm, “Don't look at her like that! She'll feel bad for you.”Vincent walked over to Valeria and shook her hand. “Are you sure you don't want to stay longer?” he asked.Valeria only smiled slightly after shaking hands with Vincent. “I have to go back. I have a lot of things to take care of there.”Vincent nodded slowly. He understood. Valeria was not a woman who could stay in one place for too long. Especially now, she would be leading her own clan and organization.Just before Valeria c

  • Save Ryuga!

    Without warning, Vincent darted forward. He swatted away the gun in Lorenzo's hand quickly before the man could shoot him, then slammed into his face with a solid punch. Lorenzo was pushed back, but he quickly steadied himself and countered with a kick to Vincent's ribs.The impact was so strong that Vincent staggered, but he didn't care. Vincent advanced again, fighting with a burning fury. His hands and feet moved quickly, every punch and kick aimed at Lorenzo's vital points. However, Lorenzo was not an easy opponent. The Italian mafia man dodged deftly, retaliating with a knife slash that nearly caught Vincent in the neck.A fierce battle erupted in the middle of the dark harbour dock. The rain fell harder and harder, drenching the two men who were fighting it out there. In the distance, the sound of waves crashing against the concrete of the dock, while lights glow on the rippling black water.Then, there was a mechanical noise in the distance. Vincent looked away for a moment, an

  • The Decisive Ending

    “VIN!” Milea screamed at the top of her lungs. She thought it was Vincent who was shot. It turned out to be...“Kazuto.” Vin quickly approached Kazuto who was now covered in blood. “Valeria, what are you doing?”“He deserved to die,” Valeria said in a cold, heartless tone.“You?” Vincent was stunned. “You're just like Lorenzo.”“Don't compare me to my ex-husband! I'm clearly more powerful and ruthless than him. So, don't mess with me!” Valeria sternly warned Vincent.A flash of fire a few minutes ago erupted from the muzzle of the gun controlled by Valeria. The sound of the shot echoed, breaking the eerie silence that had surrounded the place. Kazuto staggered. His eyes widened in disbelief as his chest felt hot and wet with fresh blood flowing from his bullet wound.“Kazuto, hold on!”“Vin ....”Vincent saw Kazuto's left hand trembling. He was trying to grab onto something he could not reach. Within seconds, his body lost its balance, plummeting to the ground with a low thud. The flo

  • The Last Battle

    Ryuga and Lorenzo slammed into each other brutally. They were still duelling, seemingly more fiercely in the cramped submarine. There were no distractions, no way out of there. It was really just the two of them, locked in a deadly duel.“Don't fight me little boy!” shouted Lorenzo.“What, you said I was a little boy?” protested Ryuga. “I could kill you if I wanted to. You know that I'm one of the Ryuujin-kai, right?”Lorenzo laughed in response to Ryuga's statement. “Fool!” He lashed out with a flurry of punches at Ryuga.Ryuga parried Lorenzo's attack and retaliated with a knife thrust to the chest. Lorenzo dodged at the last second, but the tip of the knife still managed to tear into the side of his shoulder. Fresh blood flowed from Lorenzo's body.“You're always hunting others, Lorenzo,” Ryuga hissed. “But this time, you'll be our quarry. Give up your game and say goodbye.”Lorenzo grimaced, but he smiled anyway, maintaining his sly image. “Don't act as if you're better than me, R

  • Deadly Hard Choices

    “This place will be destroyed.”“Milea, run!” Vincent shouted.Windows shattered, flames soared from the hallways, and walls began to crumble from the explosion. Kazuto's team had launched a full assault.Lorenzo smiled wryly. “This seems to be the decider.”Instantly, Lorenzo activated a small device in his hand and the entire base's security system began to react.“You'll all be locked in here,” Lorenzo said as he backed away slowly. “I have other business.”Milea looked angrily at Lorenzo. “You want to run away now?! After all this?!”Lorenzo just chuckled. “I'm not a fool, Milea. I know when to back off.”With one quick step, Lorenzo disappeared amidst the smoke and rubble.Meanwhile, Kazuto remained focused on Vincent, despite the growing chaos. “Don't think this is over, Vin!”Vincent didn't answer. He was already moving faster.With his remaining strength, Vincent kicked Kazuto's knee, making him wobble slightly. Milea took the opportunity to pull Vincent to his feet.“We have

  • Past Recorded Video

    Ryuga appeared from the shadows, attacking with terrifying speed. Milea raised her arm to parry, but Ryuga's strength was too great. His punch slammed into Milea's chest, sending her flying backwards into an electrical panel.Blue lightning flashed through Milea's body, pain spreading throughout her nervous system. But she couldn't stop now. She had to fight back if she didn't want to be controlled by her cousin, Ryuga.Milea's hand moved to the gun kept at her waist, firing two bullets at Ryuga. Unfortunately, the shots missed. She had expected this to happen. So, she had been vigilant beforehand in dealing with this unexpected situation.DOR! DOR!Ryuga swatted her away with his knife, metal sparks clashing in the air. “You won't be able to conquer me, Milea.”“Really? Have you ever been in a karate or ninja club?” Milea joked.“Listen! I have no intention of killing you, Milea,” Ryuga assured her.Milea looked at him sharply. “Oh yeah? But it looks like you almost did. You've lost

  • Kazuto's Revenge for Vincent

    Lorenzo smiled slightly as he watched the digital map of the world change. Kazuto's line of defence was crumbling, and the global network was now within his grasp.Lorenzo looked at Vincent who stood silently beside him. “You finally understand, Vin. This world isn't about who's right and wrong. It's about who's in control.”Vincent didn't answer at all. His hands were still on the console, his gaze blank. He had just destroyed the defence system of his old friend, Kazuto.But, inside Vincent, something was still not right. It was like there was another piece of memory that had yet to be revealed. His memories of the past with Kazuto were still ringing in his mind.Then, suddenly, a red notification flashed on his screen.[Override Detected. Protocol 0 Activated.]Lorenzo squinted. “What is this?” he asked in shock as he looked at his screen.Before Lorenzo could react, the system began to change. The world map returned to blue. And the voice they heard next made Vincent's heart race.

    Milea looked at him in shock. “You... should be dead! Didn't Vin shoot you?”Lorenzo just chuckled. “The bulletproof vest saved me. Remember! Kazuto is still watching us. He thinks you killed me.”“I see.” Now, Milea understood. They had all planned it while she was Kazuto's hostage.A few minutes later, Vincent, Lorenzo, Valeria, Nakamura, and Ryuga had gathered in the living room of the Nakamura residence. Meanwhile, Milea was safely in her room. Her uncle had reserved a special room for her.“I don't want Milea to get involved again,” Nakamura said. “Can we do it?”“Of course, Mr Nakamura. I don't want it to happen again either. But, Kazuto already knows everything about my wife. Right now, he must be hunting Milea,” Vincent replied.“Isn't Milea tough enough to be in this team?” Valeria interjected. “I've heard a lot about her, Vin.”Vincent only smiled briefly in response. “She is. A tough woman who I love very much.”“At least you recognise the greatness of your own wife, Vin.”

  • Don't Choose, Milea!

    “Lorenzo?” Milea widened her eyes in surprise at Lorenzo's arrival.“What are you doing here?” asked Lorenzo flatly. “Where's Vin and Ryuga?”“They're still in the warehouse,” Milea said under her breath.“I see.” Lorenzo understood. That's why he waited for the right time to appear before Milea.The harbour that night was so quiet, only the sound of the waves crashing and the night breeze hitting Milea's frightened face on the run. Her breathing was ragged, her body filled with adrenaline as she tried to avoid the pursuit of Kazuto's men.Milea didn't expect to meet Lorenzo there. Just as she was about to move, a gunshot suddenly rang out, a bullet almost hitting her shoulder. She gasped, her body lurching backwards.However, before Milea could fall, a strong hand pulled her to the side, bringing her body behind a metal container. Milea gasped for air, her eyes widening at the sight of Lorenzo before her.“You?” she whispered in shock.“Shut up! There are snipers around,” Lorenzo sai
