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.
'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
