"Oh my God, they're awake!"

Zuri gasped in shock as she saw Betrand’s men regaining consciousness. Without hesitation, she bolted out of the house, chasing after Amora and Blake.

"Amora! Amora, wait for me!" Zuri grabbed her daughter’s hand, pointing back toward the house. "They’re awake! Please, don’t leave me. I’m scared they’ll hurt me again."

Amora glanced at Blake. Without a word, Blake turned and strode back into the house.

The men in black suits scrambled to their feet the moment they saw him. Their faces paled with fear as they immediately bowed before him, then frantically hobbled out of the house, some limping, others staggering in panic.

"Please! Forgive us!" They clasped their hands to their chests and bowed deeply before fleeing in a chaotic rush.

When Amora and Zuri stepped back inside, they were stunned to see the men scurrying away. They instinctively moved aside, giving them space to escape.

"They're gone now," Amora said as she pulled her hand away from Zuri’s grasp.

    Zuri couldn’t believe what she was seeing. She scanned her surroundings. The house looked deserted, as if it had been abandoned.“There’s no way this house was seized,” Zuri muttered under her breath. “Did I get the wrong address?” She pondered for a moment until her gaze caught onto something. “Ah, excuse me.”She quickly approached a security officer who was patrolling the area around the Gobleson family’s house.“Is there anything I can help you with, Ma’am?” The security officer spoke politely and warmly.“Yes.” Zuri nodded. “Is this really the Gobleson family’s house?” She pointed toward the house, where a large sealed banner was displayed.“Yes, Ma’am. That is their house.” The security officer frowned slightly. “Are you a relative of theirs?”Zuri shook her head and replied softly, “No.”She hadn’t expected that the grand house, now bearing a sealed notice on its gate, really did belong to the Gobleson family.“They just moved out yesterday afternoon because all of the Gobleson

    Amora was certain that the man who had been her husband all this time was hiding many things from her. From the luxury car, the black card, the men in black who were on his side and always helped them, to this luxurious hospital, which undoubtedly required an enormous amount of money to receive treatment.All this time, she knew Blake as an unemployed man with no job whatsoever, so it was impossible for him to have that much money to do something as extraordinary as this. That was why Amora grew suspicious of him.Blake gently held her hand. "I can't tell you the truth yet, but trust me, because I am an honorable man."Amora stared at Blake intently. She felt doubtful but eventually nodded, trying to understand him because it was clear that only someone with power could do things like this."I'll be ready to wait for you to speak, Blake." Amora gave a small smile, trying to show her trust in her husband.Blake nodded. Amora let go of his hand and turned to look at her grandfather, who

    They were furious about what Blake had done—especially Monica, who instinctively grabbed her bag and inspected the knife slash on the front.“Damn it! You’re seriously brainless. This is a luxury bag! It’s insanely expensive, and if you can’t replace it, you’re a complete idiot!” Monica ranted, venting her frustration on Blake.Of course, she was furious. That bag was a limited edition, and her boyfriend had gone out of his way to buy it for her directly from its country of origin. Blake’s actions had deeply hurt both her heart and her pride.“You really just want to start trouble, don’t you?” Robin slammed the table so hard that Amora’s drink spilled over.Robin and Blake locked eyes in an intense, cold stare, while Monica whined like a child who had just lost her favorite toy. She kept stroking her bag over and over again.“If you’re jealous, you don’t have to go this far. It’s pathetic. Loser!”Robin raised his hand, about to grab Blake by the collar, but Blake swiftly blocked his

    "Just wait and see—you’re going to jail," Robin sneered at Blake as the police car pulled up outside the restaurant.Monica smirked slyly, holding her reddened, throbbing cheek. She would never forgive Blake for what he had done, especially for humiliating her in front of so many people.Two police officers stepped out of the car and entered the restaurant. Robin and Monica grinned triumphantly, laughing in satisfaction."Officers, this is the man who assaulted us!" Monica rushed toward the police as they approached. "Look at my cheek—it’s red and swollen because of him. And my boyfriend’s lip is bleeding because of his violence!""Yes, take him away immediately!" Robin lifted his chin arrogantly. "He deserves to rot in prison. Make sure he receives the harshest punishment for this."However, instead of reprimanding or arresting Blake, the two officers suddenly grabbed Monica and Robin’s wrists, restraining them. The two were completely stunned."What are you doing? Didn’t you hear wh

    Her mother’s words made Amora furious."Mother, I’m tired of you recklessly trying to set me up with other men. Can’t you see that I’m already married?"Amora had had enough. She had lost count of how many times her mother had tried to arrange a match for her or how many men she had been introduced to."My marriage with Blake is just fine, so you should give up on this." Amora spoke firmly but politely, warning her mother.However, instead of realizing her mistake, Zuri became even angrier."You’re impossible to talk to! I’m only doing this because I want you to have a better life, Amora."Zuri couldn’t accept Amora’s rejection. As a mother, she wanted to see her daughter happy with a man who could provide for her—not with someone as useless and incompetent as Blake."You need a partner who is on your level. You’re a manager at a company, so you should be with someone who is at least a manager as well."Zuri had told Amora this countless times, but her daughter still refused to listen

    Zuri was utterly shocked when she heard the price of all the jewelry Blake had given her. She blinked several times, staring at the bracelet and ring adorning her hands."Are you serious that this jewelry is worth 100 million dollars?""Yes, I estimate it to be around 100 million," Zuri's friend said with such confidence that it only made her even more surprised.Zuri's mouth hung open for a few moments before she finally swallowed hard. She began wondering where Blake got that kind of money to buy all this jewelry, and of course, it made her question things even more in her mind."There's no way," Zuri muttered, refusing to believe that Blake had given her an entire box full of jewelry. "These must be fake.""They're real," Alice, who owned a jewelry store, said with certainty. "If you still have doubts and don't believe me, just come by tomorrow to confirm it yourself."Zuri nodded thoughtfully, considering the idea. Looking at pictures alone wouldn't be enough—Alice needed to verif

    "What?" Zuri was utterly shocked. Her eyes widened, and her face changed instantly. "You're joking, right?"Alice shook her head and handed the jewelry box to Zuri. "No. These pieces of jewelry and gemstones are fake. The gold is just a thin outer layer. They may look expensive, but in reality, they’re worth very little."Zuri clenched her teeth, struggling to contain the fury boiling inside her. She couldn't believe all the jewelry was fake—and worse, that Blake had the audacity to give her such a cheap imitation.She abruptly stood up from her chair. "That damn broke bastard! I knew Blake could never afford real jewelry!"Alice tried to calm her down. "Zuri, please, relax." She raised her hands, trying to soothe her friend, not wanting to disturb the other customers in her store."I was such a fool to think you could ever have a hundred million dollars. That useless son-in-law could never afford something this expensive. He tried to deceive me, damn it!"Zuri slammed the table, her

    Zuri stared at Amora sharply, unable to believe that her daughter was still trying to defend Blake. In her mind, it was obvious who was at fault—Blake, for lying to her.With a voice full of anger, she said, "Heartless? The one who's truly heartless here is your pathetic husband for deceiving me!"Amora held Blake’s hand, trying to calm her husband, who was clearly struggling to control his emotions. "Mom, Blake would never do this on purpose—""Don’t defend him, Amora!" Zuri cut her off, her voice rising. "He gave me fake jewelry. Absolutely disgraceful. If he couldn’t afford real jewelry, then he shouldn’t have given me anything at all!"Zuri was beyond disappointed. She had actually believed Blake had given her real jewelry. She had spent the entire night unable to sleep, fantasizing about the fortune she would make by selling them. But now? It had all been for nothing.She scoffed, "Trustworthy? What a joke. You just want to impress Amora, but the truth is, you're nothing, Blake."

    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

    Amora was stunned. Blake’s words and actions were so in sync with her own thoughts that she couldn’t help but feel admiration and deep emotion. This surprise had far exceeded her expectations. 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

    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

    “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 crumbling in mere hours. He swallowed hard, trying to regain his composure. “How did this happen?” “What’s wrong?” Merry frowned, concern flashing across her face as she observed her husband’s stunned reaction. Betrand remained frozen in shock, completely ignoring Merry’s question. His hand, still gripping the phone, began to tremble, his fingers clenching around the device so tightly it was as if he wanted to crush it. His breathing turned erratic and uneven. Slowly, he turned his head. His eyes flickered quickly toward Blake, a mix of shock, f
