The guard who recognized her opened the door for her."Thank You!" said Delilah and directly ran through the way to the mansion. The guard who opened the door furrowed his brows and glanced at his companions, who were also on guard. Shouldn't Delilah be with their Master by now? Why did she come back alone?Delilah ran from the front gate through the central garden of the parking lobby near the stone steps and fountain. She only stopped for a moment to take a breath and reran a slight uphill to go up to the mansion's main entrance—several guards who later saw her approach."Miss...!" called one of them and came over. Delilah instantly put on a smiling face as if nothing had happened."Are you just coming back? Are you alone?" asked one of the guards.
There is no voice that James Belgenza hates more than the evil laughs of Gabriel Moretti, his eternal enemy. James abruptly clenched his jaw and fist at the way Gabriel called him. James was getting rage and could kill anyone right now. Grey noticed James' anger and tense expression when he received the call from Lordes. What happened? Something happened, but he could not hear anything since James was the one who took the call."What do you want, Moretti!" growled James with his eyes blazing with anger. Gabriel chortled loudly and kept mocking James."You shouldn't have to come to New York to chase after me, bastard kid! You can call, and I'll be there whenever you want," Moretti replied harshly."Coward… you only dared to attack me because I wasn't there! Why don't you come to face me now, and we'll sort it all out!" quipped James ragingly."Hahaha... oh, who do you think you are, hah! Look, J. I came to your house because I heard you keep a beaut
ONE DAY BEFOREDelilah paced back and forth in her room, anxiously thinking about her fate. Delilah had bad feelings after coming home from the chapel and talking to Father Alberto. The story got her to rethink about staying with James. Therefore, she rummaged through all the drawers to find her passport. And somehow, because James was in a hurry, he forgot to put it in the safe.When Delilah found it, she instantly grabbed it. Now, she must find a way to buy tickets and escape from New York.Delilah had no money at all to buy tickets. During this time, James got her everything and left without a penny. She barely had money on hers recently."What should I do?" she muttered in deep thought. Delilah was determined to leave the Penthouse to pick up her brother Oliver and flee somewhere else. She couldn't trust James anymore. James has broken his promise a few times before. Would he possibly do it again? However, James has nothing left to gain trust from Del
Because of Delilah's adorable responses, Grey widened the parameters of his area for sightseeing to please Delilah. The last initial deal was only having a walk around the apartment building. Hence, he further it to the central park where Delilah saw a small church among some constructions. The church even had a garden that excited Delilah. She was always curious about the old historical building and intended to explore inside. Thus, she grabbed Grey's hand and asked for his consent to walk inside the church."Ah… Miss Starley, what are you doing?""Please, it'll be a moment. I promise!" Delilah whined while wiggling Grey's arm to permit her intention. Grey was finding it increasingly difficult to refuse all of Delilah's requests now. She was too adorable."Why don't you come with me inside?" Delilah asked him to stay around. Yet, Grey shook his head instead."I don't like going to church!" he said quickly. Delilah was stunned and raised her eyebro
TWO DAYS BEFOREGrey escorts Delilah to the Ritz penthouse after landing their flight from Miami. He was standing behind Delilah in the elevator they were in together. After exiting and walking down the corridor to the Penthouse, they still hadn't spoken to each other yet.When strolling to get inside the Penthouse, Delilah turned around and made Grey stop abruptly. Delilah's smile seemed to look a little further from before."Thank you, Mr. Hunter. Ah, this is your phone. I almost forgot it, hehehe." Delilah chuckled while handing Grey his phone. Delilah had been playing with it during the flight. Grey smiled faintly and took his phone back. Why did he now feel something odd inside his heart? Grey swallowed his saliva to hold himself. Delilah turned around and was about to get inside her room when Grey's voice stopped her abruptly."Miss Starley, please call me Grey. It's fine to call me by my first name!" Grey abruptly spoke about it. Delilah turned aro
Today James took Delilah for a walk around New York to change her swing mood about moving. He wanted her to enjoy the city without thinking of coming home to Vomero. Delilah cutely wore a knee-length dress, and James casually on a shirt and pants. Proudly, James took her hand out of the Ritz Penthouse and into his car in the parking lobby. They looked more like a happy celebrity couple on the screen."Are you intending to go somewhere? What would you most like to visit? I'll take you anywhere," James offered her while wrapping his arm around Delilah's waist. Delilah didn't answer or shake her head. At the same time, James really couldn't hold himself back anymore. He was so clingy to kiss Delilah's cheek and forehead most of the time like a sweet lover. Unfortunately, Delilah did not feel the same way. She was very uncomfortable but couldn't do anything.James takes Delilah shopping at SOHO and well-known brand outlets in New York. Once again, James pampered Delilah wi
Blood and sweat dripped from Elmero Silva's forehead. A Golden Dragon member hung him in their basement ceiling rooms. Elmero was panting hard from being beaten and forced to spill every piece of information about his involvement in snitching James. He kept his mouth zipped until James came and stood in front of him."Look at me, Silva!" James curtly spoke at him. Elmero raised his face with his eyes, barely seeing clearly because his temple was bleeding due to the hit."I trust you. But I never thought that you would betray me. What does he offer you? More money?" James growled to hold his anger from punching him more. Silva raised the corners of his lips cynically at James."It doesn't matter to me. I'm not a monster like you, Belgenza!" Elmero replied hoarsely. James clenched his fists and jaw. His puff was tensed and ragingly hot. James was trying to hold, but Elmero triggered him to blow him more."Why did you betray me?""Because you are a ba
There is no view as beautiful as James Harristian’s penthouse balcony in downtown New York. The terrace showed the beautiful bay with clean and soothing air and scenery. New York is a bustling city, but Delilah could not hear any of the busy bees in her place right now. Only serenity with the occasional screech of birds passing by soothes her mind. It was such a delightful sight to witness all the experience.Initially, James had no plans to buy the penthouse. He had bought one in a much quieter area of Harlem. But due to Elmero Silva, Gabriel Moretti's snitch infiltrated into his organization, James had found another way out. James hastily bought another place to stay.James managed to purchase a presidential suite penthouse with his connections and power. It was the most expensive and prestigious one of the buildings. And all that he did was to protect Delilah and surely pampered her. James had even reversed the property's name to Delilah Starley as the owner
James and Delilah came home from shopping while staying in Hong Kong after midnight. After saying thank you to the Golden Dragon members, who escorted them the whole night, both got into the room in a good mood. They were smiling shyly at each other after having so much fun."We'd better get some rest," James spoke awkwardly. Delilah nodded in agreement. She stood up and walked to the changing room to change her dress.Meanwhile, James chose to change his shirt in the room with a regular short-sleeved one. He waited for Delilah on the bed by reading a few emails from her job. Delilah had just come out of the dressing room in her new nightgown and robe a few moments later. She kept pulling the robe to cover her body though it slid so many times due to the soft fabric.Delilah shyly walked closer to the bed and sat slowly on the edge of it. James didn't notice as he was still busy replying to emails and a few things. Delilah took her excellent chance to slide insi
