LOGINNow with Maxwell and the waiter gone, Xander slowly turned his attention back to Derek, who was still sitting on the floor with his head lowered. Earlier when they were punching them, Xander's bodyguard brought three plastic chairs because he knew they would love to sit. So with that, Michael pulled a chair closer and sat down comfortably as he watched their captive with an amused expression. Just then, Xander stepped forward and looked down at him and said, “Now that we’re finally alone, I believe we can have a proper conversation,” saying this, a faint smile appearing on his face as he settled into the chair.Derek remained silent, not daring to meet his eyes.Watching his reaction, Xander chuckled softly before asking, “So, Derek, how does it feel knowing that all your plans have come crashing down? You and Claire must have been quite confident that everything would go exactly as you wanted.” He said this without beating around the bush. Meanwhile, the moment he heard Claire’s na
Before Derek or the waiter could fully process what was happening, Xander suddenly stepped forward and landed a powerful punch on Derek’s face, sending his head snapping to the side. He barely had time to recover before Xander grabbed him again and delivered another blow, his expression cold and filled with anger. The waiter watched in horror, but before he could even move away, Xander turned towards him and landed a hard punch that sent him stumbling backwards.Not wanting to be left out, Michael and Maxwell quickly joined in, each taking turns landing several punches on the two men. None of them showed any intention of stopping as they continued beating them, their anger growing with every blow. Derek and the waiter tried to defend themselves, but after spending days without proper food and being trapped in the room, they barely had the strength to fight back.The beating continued until both men were almost unconscious with their bodies aching and their faces badly bruised. It w
Several minutes later, Derek and the waiter had finally finished eating, and although Xander, Michael, and Maxwell were eager to confront them, none of them was in a hurry to enter the room. Instead, they deliberately allowed a little more time to pass so the two men could properly digest their food, because they wanted them to be comfortable enough to understand exactly what was coming next.Meanwhile, inside the empty room, Derek and the waiter were finally feeling much better after eating to their satisfaction. Their stomachs were no longer aching from hunger, and their throats were no longer as dry as before, so they both sat upright against the wall, allowing their bodies to settle after the meal.After sitting in silence for several minutes without seeing anyone come to check on them, the waiter eventually turned toward Derek, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed and finally asked, “Uhmm, why is no one coming here?” As he said this, he looked around the empty ro
In the empty room, Derek and the waiter sat on the cold floor with pale and exhausted faces. They had not eaten anything since they were locked inside, and this was already their second day without food. By now, their hunger had become so intense that neither of them had the strength or even the interest to talk to the other, while their throats had become painfully dry from not having anything to drink.The waiter shifted uncomfortably and swallowed with difficulty, but his throat felt so parched that even swallowing had become uncomfortable. He lowered his head and tried to ignore the growing pain in his stomach, but a few seconds later, his stomach suddenly made a loud rumbling sound that echoed through the empty room.He immediately gritted his teeth and placed a hand over his stomach. “Damn it,” he muttered bitterly and added. “I’m so hungry.”Derek glanced at him but said nothing, because he was in no better condition himself. In fact, Derek knew that the waiter had probably suf
As soon as they entered Viola’s office, she closed the door behind them and let out a long breath before taking off her blazer and placing it neatly over the back of her chair. She then sat down, leaned back against the chair, and took another deep breath as she rubbed her forehead, looking completely lost in her thoughts.Seeing her suddenly become so serious, Alexa walked closer and looked at her with concern before asking. “What’s wrong, babe?”Viola looked up at her, pouted her lips slightly, and sighed. “I’m just thinking about this morning. Oh my God!” Saying this, she exclaimed loudly.Alexa immediately breathed out in relief when she realized that nothing serious had happened, but a second later, she suddenly burst into laughter because she remembered exactly what Viola was talking about. She tried to control herself, but the moment she saw the deep frown forming on Viola’s face, she quickly covered her mouth and stopped laughing.“I’m so sorry, Vi,” Alexa said, still struggli
The next day, everyone eventually went their separate ways, and by then, Viola and Alexa were already back at work. Because of how busy Viola had been the previous day, she had not been able to send out the new designs she sketched yesterday, so she decided to handle everything first thing that morning. Right now, she was currently in a meeting with the heads and members of the design and sewing departments, with all the new sketches spread carefully across the large conference table in front of them.The moment the workers began going through the sketches, they could not hide their admiration. Each design was carefully drawn and detailed, and they could already imagine how beautiful the finished dresses would look once they were properly made.“These designs are really beautiful,” one of the designers said as she carefully picked up one of the sketches and added with a stunned look. “I can already picture how elegant this one will look when it is brought to life.”Another designer n
As Xander entered his room, he gently used his leg and closed the door shut, before quietly walking towards the bed and gently lowered Viola on it, making sure he was really careful so as not to wake her up. At the same time, Viola shifted slightly on the bed, her brows knitting together for a se
Suddenly Viola pointed at them and shouted loudly that they even had to close their ears, “Stop judging me with your eyes!”“We are not judging Viola, we are just traumatized.,” Xander replied honestly, making Alexa and Vivian burst into laughter.Then clapping hard, Alexa giggled foolishly and s
That's not possible Viola, how about one glasses”. Maxwell said because he knew it’s a strong wine, which means a little amount is enough to get you high. “One glass turns into disaster,” Viola replied to him flatly and rejected his words.Chuckling softly, Micheal said, “She’s not wrong man.”Kno
Leaving the room, Nathan headed downstairs but paused at the bottom of the stairs when he noticed Bella standing there.He saw that she was in her pajamas, barefoot on the cold floor, staring at him without blinking. Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying for a long time and that look alone
