LOGINIn an unknown location, the Master is seen snipping the dead leaves and thorns from the rose plants. His work is leisurely and unhurried. "Master, Xavier Knight is speaking with Hansen. No one knows what they were speaking about. But based on their reaction, it looked like something very important," one of the Master's men shared. The master didn't pause or stop what he was doing. "Something important? For whom? Xavier? Or that brute Hansen? What can that uneducated, worthless tribal man tell Xavier Knight?" Master dismissed it as if it were nothing. "Hansen caused such a big ruckus near the site; I thought you might be interested to know what that was all about," that man explained. Master finished the plant he was cutting and moved to another one. "As long as it's something about how to acquire that mine, I don't want to know this uselessness. That Hansen might be begging for something else. Previously he wanted water, then electricity, and then a proper road. This ti
Susan and Tasha were watching both the girls. Matching smiles played on their lips. Susan heard about what happened to Iris. She was not aware that Iris had lost her memories. Susan liked Iris; she was sweet. "Sister Iris, you might not remember me. Let me reintroduce myself. I am Susan. My father is Butler Mathias, and my elder brother Ethan works for Mr. Knight," Susan said sweetly. Iris glanced at the young girl with a smile. "Hello, Susan. It's a pity that I don't remember you. But I am sure we can make good memories together again," Iris said sweetly. Susan beamed. "I am hungry, guys. These pancakes are too yummy. Can we eat?" Tasha asked while rubbing her stomach. All the girls laughed with amusement. Just then, Mathias brought a plate full of bacon and scrambled eggs. As the maids served them breakfast, the girls giggled and laughed over their own jokes. "I want to go see that forest. It looks so beautiful from my windows," Iris asked Susan. Susan choked on a piec
By the time Xavier's private jet touched down in Louisville. Iris was fast asleep in Xavier's arms, while Tasha was dozing off in her seat. Adam and Xavier were discussing business. "Why the sudden demand for a meeting? Why did they only demand your presence?" Adam wondered loudly. "We will find out in a few hours. Are you sure you don't have any pressing matters in the Stark group?" Xavier inquired casually. Adam volunteered to stay in Louisville until Xavier's issue with the Naga tribe was resolved. Moreover, with Benjamin's intentions unclear, he wanted to stay close to Iris. "Nothing that cannot be done on my laptop. The rest, my employees can handle," Adam replied. As their jet was parked, Tasha woke up. Drowsily, she followed after Adam, while Xavier carried Iris down the private jet. Luis was already waiting for them. "Good morning, boss," he greeted Xavier. When he noticed Iris, his carefully crafted blank expression slipped. A genuine smile appeared on his face. "I
In an unknown location, Master was seen tasting a dish. "This is good," Master murmured before wiping his mouth. Quietly, he walked out of the kitchen when his mobile started ringing. "What happened?" he demanded as soon as he answered the call. His tone was mild, but the authority in his tone was still loud and clear. "Master, our men did as they were told to do. But they messed up a little," the man on the other end informed hesitantly, as if he were scared. "What did they do?" Master inquired. His earlier calmness was now like a ripple on the water surface. He sounded livid. "Master, Bosco Russo and his mistress are not dead. They are alive. And they spoke with the cops who recorded their statement. Now the authorities are involved, but instead of Xavier Knight, James Morgan is implicated. That James Morgan's daughter blurted out Benjamin's name." he shared everything. Master fisted his palms. "That b*tch, she actually implicated Benjamin?" Master demanded angrily. If Be
"Tasha is young. If this gets out, who would marry her?" Sylvester Russo snapped. Bosco flinched at his brother's harsh tone. "Adil Morgan promised to give our company a few high-profile contracts that are worth millions. I thought it might help you," he tried to defend his recklessness. Sylvester glared at Bosco. If looks could kill, Bosco would have been 6 feet under by now. "Profits? At what cost? You are well aware that Iris Stark's engagement to Adil Morgan has been canceled. It's not a secret that Xavier Knight supports the Starks. But still, despite all this, you still threatened the reputation of Iris and Tasha. Forget about Adil; you will be lucky if Xavier Knight doesn't kill you first. If Mr. Knight targets our family, I will kill you with my own hands," Sylvester fumed. Bosco turned pale. He assumed that Xavier was out of the country, so he would not be involved. How wrong was he. Just then, cops entered the hospital room. Sylvester stepped aside. A shoot-out in a
In Italy, in the Stark residence, Catherine locked herself in her room while Tasha was resting with Iris upstairs. Adam stayed where he was without moving. He is in shock. He is taking his time to process everything. Who could blame him? "You are right. You always guess everything right. Dad, I never thought Dad could do something like this," Adam murmured. He is hurting, and it cannot be hidden. "Adam, I don't know if I guessed it right or not," Xavier murmured, expressing his feelings. He is confused about this whole situation. At this point, he is unsure whether Benjamin is entirely wrong or if he is involved in something shady while trying to keep his head above water. Xavier can neither tell Adam about it nor keep it to himself. After all, this concerns Adam's father. Adam gave him a confused look. "What do you mean? We all clearly heard what Dad had to say about all this. So what do you feel wrong about? Dad just made his intentions very clear, didn't he?" Adam pointed out.
Iris was sitting stiffly as she was held at gunpoint. Chase is sitting beside her with a gun pointing at her head. Someone whom she felt she had seen before in the Knights' residence is driving the car. An hour ago, when she just locked her door, creating an illusion that she was safe. But her il
"Xavier, you are hurting me" Iris whimpered when her wrist started to sting with how tightly he was holding it. They reached Obsidian, and he didn't let go of her hand the entire drive. She sensed that he is angry. May be because she tried to plead for Natasha and Candace. He immediately let go o
In the hospital, Natasha is not very happy. She was planning to use Iris to make herself become the Mrs. Knight. She became Mrs. Knight, but in name only. She is a castaway now, thrown out by Xavier and only to be used when in need. "How can you both agree to his conditions? And he asked for Iris
"Please forgive us, please" Candace begged Xavier. Xavier looked at her coldly. "I can squish your Jones group underneath my feet like a bug. You will really be bankrupt by midday. My grandfather will kick your daughter out by evening. That's what you deserve. Not my forgiveness" he replied sto
