ログイン"Benjamin, tell me that you didn't do anything stupid," Desmond demanded, turning pale. Benjamin remained quiet. "I lied to James, saying that Xavier would not be around. He believed it," he revealed. Desmond felt fear. The kind of fear that felt like it was paralyzing his entire body. "Have you lost your mind? Why would you do that? You know very well that Master wants Iris to get married to Adil or someone else. He wants you to separate Iris and Xavier. Then why would you do something so stupid? If Xavier is still in Italy, then he would have already stopped the Morgans. Our plan would have failed. You know how angry the master would be. Do you have a death wish?" Desmond snapped at Benjamin, fearing that their master might kill him for this. Benjamin's eyes turned misty. "I was hoping that it would fail. I wanted Xavier to save Iris," he revealed. Desmond grabbed a glass from his bedside table and threw it at Benjamin, who didn't try to dodge the attack. The glass hit Be
"It would be in your best i interest to leave that Roth's case and go back to where you came from," Matthew threatened Benjamin. Benjamin glared at Matthew. "Looks like all the sons of Desmond, except for the elder son, are idiots. No wonder only Xavier could manage the Knights group better than you all. You are all clueless," Benjamin muttered with irritation. Matthew's face turned red with anger. He couldn't take being insulted by Benjamin like this at his own home. "You blind idiot. How dare you..." Matthew raised his tone to insult Benjamin. But Benjamin glared, a clear warning in his eyes. He is already irritated, and he doesn't have time for Matthew's nonsense. "Go and inform your father before I decide to leave. If I leave, you will be in trouble. Think before acting," he threatened Matthew. Matthew is stunned. Something in Benjamin's tone reminded him of Desmond when he is pissed. The stark similarity blew him off. "Very well. If my dad refused to see you, I will pe
James Morgan and Naomi were seen having their dinner in the Morgan residence. "Dad, brother texted me that Iris went along with Tasha. Seems like his plan worked," Naomi said smugly. "Hmm, once he makes everyone believe that he has an affair with Iris, then even Xavier Knight wouldn't want her anymore," James replied. "Right, she was being so arrogant. So what if her brother hugged another woman in front of her? She made it look like a sin. Now, let's see how she would feel once her pictures with her brother were plastered everywhere. She will lose face and reputation. She could only marry my brother," Naomi agreed. James smirked, thinking about that outcome. Just then, he received a call from Adil. "It's Adil. Looks like the deed is done," James murmured before he answered the call expecting good news. "Son, is it done?" James inquired eagerly. "Dad, it's Xavier Knight. He took Iris away," Adil shared. The fork James was holding slipped past his fingers in shock. He stood
"Your husband, he is on his way to Chelsington now. By the time he sees your message, everything will be finished. He cannot do anything," Adil said smugly. Iris is shocked. Xavier didn't tell her about his plan. He is practically obsessed with her, and she doesn't believe that he would leave without a word. He would have told her, at least called her, if he couldn't tell that in person. "So what if he is not in Italy? The moment he hears about this, that would be the moment he would plan your execution. Don't underestimate him, Adil. Did you forget who put your hand in that cast? You just touched me, and he broke your bones. You are choking me and planning something vile. You expect to survive after this? You are dreaming, Adil. You are delusional beyond expectation," Iris pointed out. Her tone is strained because Adil is choking her. When he heard her words, he let go of her neck on instinct. He looked at his left hand, which was still in a cast. Natasha and Bosco noticed h
After Jensen Roth eavesdrops on Benjamin's conversation, he pretends to be ignorant. "Mr. Stark, that's all I had to say. I hope you will do what you are supposed to, and we don't have to repeat such an unpleasant conversation," Jensen murmured calmly. Benjamin nodded his head absent-mindedly. "Yes, I will invite Desmond for a meeting. Let's hope he agrees to a peaceful settlement. I will call you once it's done. Great day," with that said, Benjamin packed his stuff before walking out of the private room of the restaurant. After making sure that Benjamin was gone, Jensen immediately dialed Xavier, who answered the call after the third ring. "Jensen, how was your meeting with Benjamin?" Xavier inquired, skipping the pleasantries. "Mr. Knight, something in Mr. Stark's behavior sounded off. He wanted to invite your grandfather for a personal meeting and settle this issue peacefully," Jensen explained. Xavier looked thoughtful. "He is reluctant to file a legal case against th
"James, what is it? Didn't I tell you not to disturb me?" Benjamin snapped with irritation. Ever since his master returned into his life, Benjamin has been in a foul mood. He is deceiving his wife again, and it didn't sit well with him. At the same time, he couldn't stop either. Because he owed a blood debt to his master, which should be paid in full. James gritted his teeth in anger, but didn't dare to speak rashly with Benjamin. Because Iris is his trump card, Benjamin is willing to pave the way to reach his trump card. So James endured it silently. "Benjamin, Adil went to meet Iris. But she refused to reconcile. So he is planning a candlelight dinner tonight. You don't mind, do you?" James inquired. Benjamin huffed with irritation. "James, I am telling you one last time. Do whatever it takes. Make sure Iris agrees to this marriage. You don't have to call me for everything. I am only concerned about the results. Am I clear?" he replied with a hint of irritation. James hesi
'Were you not scared for your own life?' Iris wondered while looking at his sleeping face. He was alone when he found her. He knows the tribal people would be nearby even though they were not visible. Still he challenged the tribal lord. Its either Xavier is confident or reckless. She doesn't thi
"Miss Jones" Marthias called Iris. She pulled back from Susan and smiled softly towards Mathias, who was watching Susan and Iris with soft paternal affection. "Mr. Knight wants you in his study" he relayed the message from Xavier. Iris nodded and went to meet Xavier. But when she went closer to
Iris wiggled in bed feeling restless. She couldn't sleep. Whenever she closed her eyes, she saw them. The tribes. Their boisterous laughter, their crude jokes were still ringing in her ear. And the quietness, she remembered how quiet she and Susan had been while hiding behind that boulder for hours
Iris tossed and turned on her bed, but she couldn't fall asleep. The bed was soft and the room was spacious, maybe too big for her. Because she is unable to sleep. She kept remembering what Susan said about Xavier's parents and his childhood. A bitter smile appeared on her lips. In a way, his li
