"I had a great time, thank you for inviting me to join your dinner," Julian thanked the group as they waited for their driver to pick them up.

"The pleasure is ours, Julian. Please join us again when our schedules align," Matthias happily invited Julian.

"Sure will!" Julian cheerfully responded, then turned to Cecilia.

"And I hope you'll be joining us as well, Lia," he added in a familiar tone.

Cecilia nodded in agreement. "Of course, Julian. I'll be looking forward to it."

Though the night started on a sour note, it sure ended sweetly because of Julian's company. The group certainly liked the F1 driver. Even Cecilia, who was usually aloof, clicked with Julian's personality. He is a good conversationalist but did not cross any boundaries. He is friendly and a natural gentleman. Perhaps that's why Cecilia felt comfortable with him. She even allowed him to call her by her nickname!

"I'll text you, Lia," he whispered softly to her, his face breaking into a cheeky smile.

    "Babe, there's a kid who irritated me earlier. Can you deal with her?" "Oh, and her nannies too!" "She really pissed me off! How can a kid be that annoying?!" Ellen ranted as soon as she got back to her hotel room. She tossed her scarf on the bed as she continued to take off her jacket. Her husband, Aleck, was smoking as he leaned on the balcony. His back was facing Ellen, not paying attention to whatever his wife said. "I want to twist that kid's ears and put her in her place!" "Ugh!" "Hey, babe?" she asked, walking towards her husband. "Are you listening to me?" Aleck briefly glanced at her before tapping the ashes on the ashtray. "You're so loud, woman. Don't you know when to shut up?!" he hissed. Ellen flinched. Things always get ugly when Aleck is in a bad mood. Aleck Verro is a notorious figure in the underworld. He may appear as a stout old man with a receding hairline, but he is so powerful that no one wants to get on his bad side. Beneath his clubs around th

    Ellen was left dumbfounded by what the naughty kid said. “Unbelievable! Tell Aleck to find that kid and bring her to me.”“I’ll deal with her myself.”Her voice was laced with a chilling threat that seemed to hold weight. She viciously watched the backs of Celeste and her nannies, remembering the humiliation she got from a mere child. “Miss, I think the kid is quite rich. She has a bodyguard. Should we tell Sir Aleck…? I’m afraid we’re going against someone powerful…”"And the people in this neighborhood are also elites... I don't think we should..."Ellen scoffed. “Who is more powerful than Aleck? He is the heir of the Verro Family! No one dares to cross a century-old mafia family, right?”Allyssa reluctantly nodded. “So, what are you waiting for? Tell his men to follow the kid right now!” She screamed as she slumped on the bench. ...Following the incident six years ago, Ellen Miller was embroiled in several scandals.A video of her and the old investor was released to the inter

    His sudden outburst caught the attention of everyone in the restaurant. His arrogance and aggressiveness surprised even Cecilia. "Hey, buddy. Stop it." Charles’ hand that reached out to pull Cecilia's hair was swiftly stopped by a tall man. He towered over Charles, who was already 6 feet tall. He was lean and agile enough to stop Charles from harassing Cecilia. Cecilia turned around only to see the men behind her having a silent standoff. Charles was glaring at the guy, trying to snatch his arm back. "Let go of me!" he hissed. "I can't just let you be. What if you hurt this lady again?""Who cares about that woman? She's so picky for a single mother! Do you think I would still want her?""Hahaha, you think I want you?" Cecilia asked, holding back her laughter. Soon after, Matthias brought along Cecilia's security. "Cecilia, I'm so sorry... I asked Sir Nathan to wait for you outside because you will go on a date and you need privacy...""I didn't know that this jerk would harass

    Inside the black sedan, Cecilia was seated in the back while Matthias drove, and Jonathan was next to him. She was dressed in a beautiful green minidress, with her thick, curly hair loosely braided. A few strands of her hair were framing her face, making her look more dainty and demure. Matthias helped her get ready for this dinner, from her makeup down to her styling. He made sure that Cecilia could show off her regal beauty. "Matt, are you sure that I don't need to wear a face mask?" "No need, Lia~ Your grandpa sent you an escort. What is there to fear? Are you afraid of the mafia or your aunt?""Well..." She looked out and saw a convoy behind them. Her grandpa made sure she was safe with the security that he hired for her. "In my opinion, you have to trust the security personnel that your grandpa hired. I heard most of them are military reservists. They looked more reliable than I thought.""If you're with them, you don't need to worry about hiding. You can go out and about lik

    "Sir! We lost you earlier..." Eon's secretary, Jeff, panted with a reddened face. He had been looking for Eon since he had lost him in the alley earlier. "Did you find Madam?" asked Jeff. "No. It was not her," he said with a hint of disappointment. Six long years and there's hardly any trace of Cecilia anywhere. He first searched her hometown in Manchester. Then, he went to London in an attempt to meet her relatives. He tried to set up a meeting with Cecilia's elusive grandfather, Elliot Basset. However, he did not even see a strand of him. He was lost. He did not know what to do. All he knows is he needs to find Cecilia. He understood that what they went through was not a pleasant experience. But it was real. During his search, all his staff unceremoniously called Cecilia “madam.” They all knew that their boss’s relentless search would result in Cecilia marrying Eon. That’s just how confident they were with their boss’s efforts and charisma. So even though she ran away, the
