Betrand stood frozen in place. The confidence that once radiated from his face had vanished, replaced by a ghostly pallor. His eyes widened in disbelief as he listened to the news from his assistant over the phone.

“The investors have pulled out of all partnerships after learning about the company's stock decline, sir,” his assistant's panicked voice echoed through the receiver.

Betrand gripped his phone tightly, his knuckles turning white. Cold sweat trickled down his temple, his jaw clenched, and his throat tightened. He was in complete shock.

“We tried to convince them to stay, but they’ve already given up,” the assistant continued, desperation creeping into his tone. “Even the banks are starting to reject our loan applications. If we don’t act fast, the company will go bankrupt!”

Hearing those words, Betrand staggered backward, his head spinning. This couldn't be happening. His company had always been stable, its power in the business world unshakable. But now? Everything was

    Click! The sound of the door locking made Amora turn around, only to see Blake smiling mysteriously. She pretended not to understand and looked at him with innocent eyes, which only made his smile widen. Blake took slow steps forward, unbuttoning his shirt one by one. He pulled Amora by the waist and immediately captured her lips in a kiss. Amora gasped but didn't resist. Her hands instinctively wrapped around Blake's neck, and soon, their lips melted together in the intimacy of their bedroom. "I love you," Blake murmured once more. Amora only smiled, letting him take control until they ended up beneath the sheets, wrapped in each other's embrace. --- Morning arrived again, and as usual, Amora was the first to wake up. It wasn’t the first time, yet she still blushed at the memories of last night’s passion. Shaking her head, she quietly got up and headed to the bathroom while Blake was still fast asleep. After about thirty minutes, she stepped out wearing nothing but a towel wra

She never imagined Blake had planned everything so meticulously and thoughtfully. A mix of gratitude and overwhelming happiness filled her heart. How lucky she was to have a man like Blake."Why are you just standing there? Come on, let’s go inside!" Blake invited, smiling as he waited for Amora to respond.Snapping out of her daze, Amora turned to Blake, her eyes filled with admiration and gratitude. "This must have been so expensive," she said, her voice trembling with disbelief and awe.Blake gave her a warm smile, stepping closer and gently taking her hand. "No, sweetheart. I would do anything to make you happy and comfortable," he said, leading her into the cabin of the private jet, his heart swelling with joy at the sight of Amora’s radiant happiness.The jet's cabin was luxurious and eleg

    The small box given by the prince contained a ring engraved with a black dragon emblem at its center. It was the royal crest. Anyone who saw that symbol would immediately know who it belonged to. Michael smiled confidently and crossed his right leg over his left. “I’m serious.” Of course, there was a deeper meaning behind the gift of the black dragon ring. It was meant to forge an alliance and gain more advantages than he had originally hoped for — and Blake understood that intention well. Blake looked at the man sitting across from him. “I might not bring you any results at all.” Blake didn’t want to make any promises to Michael. He didn’t want to promise profit or loss, because he didn’t want to create distance between them if Michael’s expectations didn’t align with what Blake could deliver. But Michael still looked confident. He leaned back in his chair, completely at ease. “I believe you're not just an ordinary man, and I’m confident you won’t disappoint me,” Michael raised

    Blake ran quickly, his breathing ragged and his body shaking with tension. Zuri-his mother-in-law, lying in his arms, was unconscious. Every second felt like an eternity as he fought against panic, trying to stay focused on the road despite occasionally accidentally bumping into other visitors. "Hey, be careful!" The young man Blake accidentally bumped into swore harshly. "Watch your step, sucker."Blake lowered his head slowly. "Sorry, I was in a hurry."Ignoring the words of the man he accidentally bumped into, Blake rushed into the hallway of the emergency room.Several nurses in the emergency room immediately provided assistance, putting Zuri's body on a gurney; at the same time, the doctor on duty also approached them."Please, check on my mother-in-law immediately." Blake's voice trembled slightly, showing his concern.The doctor carefully checked Zuri's vital signs. He placed a stethoscope on her chest and listened for a weak heartbeat.

    Blake frowned, hia body as if frozen, unable to believe what he had just heard, showing how shocked and confused he was. Blake shook his head, rejecting what her mother-in-law said. "No, no. We're not getting a divorce because marriage is sacred, it can't be played with."He would keep their marriage, even if it was because Amora's grandfather set them up. Blake was already considered his own grandson, which is why Jhonson finally married him to Amora.Zuri, who heard Blake's refusal, became even more upset. "This marriage is because my father asked for it, that's why it's better for you to get divorced."Blake didn't want to disappoint Jhonson, but he also loved Amora. He didn't want to divorce his wife, no matter what.Meanwhile, Zuri felt a wave of anger burning in her chest when she saw Blake's reaction to rejection. She raised her head, her eyes glaring, and her voice turned stern."You really don't know yourself. You can't make my daughter happy, so let go and let Amora be happ

    Miguel stepped closer, his smile full of contempt. "You know, Blake." He raised his eyebrows in a condescending tone. "You should be grateful to receive this money. Even with a lifetime of effort, you could never earn this much."Blake's face flushed red, and his eyes blazed with unstoppable anger. Irritated by this insult, his heart raced.He clenched his jaw, trying to hold back the scathing words that wanted to come out. It felt like there was a fire burning inside him, creating a wave of emotions ready to explode. Miguel stood up straight, with his body slightly puffed forward, showing an overconfident attitude. "You poor thing, you should know your place. This is the real world, and you don't stand a chance. So, just take the money and divorce Amora immediately."His eyes were piercing, blazing with hatred and arrogance, as if he was savouring every moment of the humiliation he was delivering. Her lips curled up in a sardonic smile, adding to the impression of haughtiness.Migue

    Liana also nodded while clasping her hands in front of her chest. "Yes, we'll pay whatever it takes as long as you release my husband." The two officers behind Marco exchanged glances with each other. They were unsure if their leader would accept the offer or continue with their task. "How about it? Or maybe that's a small offer?" Romeo frowned. "Just tell me how much you want. I'll give it to you." He was so confident that his offer would work. He didn’t care how much money he would lose; after all, he had just gotten a commission from the illegal arms sale. It didn’t matter if he lost a lot of money, as long as he could be free and keep his family safe from punishment. "Oh, that's a very tempting offer," Marco nodded, then stepped forward until he was face to face with Romeo. "Your offer is very enticing." Romeo smirked, pleased to hear that. He looked at Liana and smiled in relief, thinking he would easily be freed. Everyone knew that money could solve problems, and it se

    Jason nodded. "Yes, we can offer each of you 5 million dollars." Liana quickly glanced at her son. That was a large sum to give away just like that to the three police officers, but now was not the time to think about that. Romeo's freedom was the priority.

    Before she could dwell further on the unfamiliar sensation, the sharp sound of heels striking against the wooden floor broke the silence. At the threshold of the living room, Zuri stood with an expression far from pleased. Her red lipstick was slightly faded—a sign of a long day—and her narrowed eyes bore into Blake with unwavering intensity. "So, you still have the nerve to show up here," she said, her voice cold and firm. Amora sighed. She knew her mother better than anyone, and that tone of voice always meant trouble. Blake remained composed. With a calm movement, he removed his jacket and hung it by the door before turning to face Zuri. His gaze remained steady, as if he had already anticipated this confrontation. "Is there something you want to discuss?" he asked, his tone neutral but far from friendly. Zuri stepped closer, clutching her expensive clutch bag tightly. Her eyes were filled with barely restrained anger. "Do you think I’m an idiot, Blake?" she spat. "Yo
