(Dahlia POV)
When I entered Carlo's room and saw him, I knew he would recover quickly. I need to talk to him; he'll be up shortly. But just because Kai is suddenly doing something for Carlo doesn't mean we can't sue him. I know Auntie will fight for her son's justice. Especially, Auntie is after the compensation, not because her son was hurt. Or maybe I'm just having terrible thoughts about Carlo's parents. I underestimate their ability to be a parent. They might not be looking for money at all.
Hopefully, Auntie will imprison Kai Carter for being a mean guy and make him pay for what he did. I want him to rot in prison. However, there may be a backlash against my wishes; many women, particularly those who know him, may object. He's much too attractive. He is dangerous for a woman. And I know that thing is not impossible. I wonder how many women you made cry, Kai Carter?
Since so much had happened throughout the day,
(Dahlia POV)"OUT!"“I repeat Miss, nothing is impossible with what I want to happen. Do you want proof? Cedrick!” When he called Cedrick, his voice was so loud that I had to close my eyes. The seriousness of his words dawned on me. His voice changes suddenly…His secretary walked in right away."Kai, Master." Cedrick stepped in; his gaze fixed on me. Two pairs of eyes stare at me as if they want to kill me.I'm not afraid of death because my grim reaper was too lazy to do his job. I don't mind their cautious look. Whatever.Cedrick's venomous stare appears to be asking me what I did to his boss. While the one in front of me is pondering dark thoughtsabout me.I know he is. Kai, chill, will you?"Make sure he's in front of me this dinner, Cedrick," Kai told his secretary threateningly, without even looking at him."However,
(Venal POV)My employees notified me after the conference that Master Dryzen's luggage had arrived. I discovered him analyzing ancient relics in the laboratory with some highly adept scientists."Master Dryzen, the collected pawn gems have arrived."Master Dryzen removed his gloves and then turned away from what he was doing. I followed him into the room where the expensive jewelry was being delivered. Master Dryzen was motivated to collect the pawned jewels because he was looking for a rare stone. He wishes that the key to the dragon's kingdom would be in his hands sooner. We, and especially him, amassed a collection of pawnbrokers' jewelry, supposedly containing the stone he sought.On the table were rows of highly protected sealed luggage. The staff opened it one at a time,so Master Dryzen could see what was within. We looked through a lot, but it was clear from Master Dryzen's expression that he wasn't finding what he was search
(Venal POV)"I think that's the perfect dress for you." I overheard a man remark for Miss Dahlia. I need to capture his image to figure out who he is, so I'll stay where I am. And if I have the chance to confront Miss Dahlia, I should tellher the Dragon prince's desire. Whatever happens, she must agree with me."Within one hour, I take off this itchy dress." It's Miss Dahlia's irritated voice. She seemed to be irritated by the clothing... That indicates she was compelled to wear the gown.Wait. Did I give my supervisor incorrect information? Tss. I take a long breath and rub my temples, trying to figure out how to explain this misinterpretationto my boss. My life was jeopardized as a result of my actions. Damn. What are you really doing here Miss Dahlia?"Please take this as a warning, Miss Dahlia.If you did something wrong, your loved ones would perish one by one."Oh
(Dahlia POV)They were about to drag me, but I managed to elude their grasp."I'm sure it's apparent to you, Miss Dahlia, what we discussed. So you have to cooperate with them.” Cedrick reminds me. "You know what will happen if we don't arrive at Master Kai's dinner in time. So, be obedient and collaborate with them."The only thing I could do with what Cedrick said was stared at him evilly. I really didn't expect my situation to be like this. I need to end the madness; they are doing to our family. For now, I should be obedient and follow their desire.I didn't oppose when they dragged me. I couldn't complain because they were obviouslyin a hurry.“Take a bath first Miss, within four minutes. Allow them to assist you to make things easier. I'll simply talk to Cedrick about giving more time he provides us to get you ready. Tss. He thinks it is easy to makeoversomeone like you. It's obvious we will have a har
(Dahlia POV)"Wonderful work, ladies!" Laurel appeared and expressed his appreciation for his team's ability to perform my makeover. But the way he looked at me, he seemed dissatisfied, perhaps he is a little jealous, and insecure about me"She's changed in some ways. She no longer smells like a street rat."What do you expect from a lady locked within a man's body? If a gay person isn't friendly, they're rude and uncomfortable, which has driven them to be criticized harshly. If he doesn't stop hurling insults at me and my patience runs out, I won't be able to resist tossing my fist at him. So, Mr. Laurel, if I were you, please shut up.I'm not bragging about what's going on right now. I'm really annoyed, Laurel. If you could only be me, I'd let it happen. You appear to be quite interested in dating that pompous prince."Bring in the outfits I picked out for her. Let's see whether my lovely dresses fit her. Tsk."
(Dahlia POV)We boarded an elevator reserved for VIP guests. Cedrick and I were the onlypassengers on the elevator, as his men remained at the hotel lounge. Until Cedrick shattered the silence between us."If I were you, Miss Dahlia, I would be polite and mindful of my manners when in the presence of Master Kai. So he doesn't become overly interested in you. You know what I mean, right?”"Is that a gentle nudge, Cedrick?" He's older than I am. But, despite the wrinkles in his eyes and the poor quality of his skin, he wasn't so older to be unsightly. Cedrick was also an attractive man. Is he already married? Does he have children? I don't think so. With everything he does as a millionaire businessman's secretary, I doubt he has time to mingle. Poor Cedrick."It's a point of concern for you, Miss. You have no idea who he is.""Too arrogant is the best way to describe him. That was
(Dahlia POV)"So, how do you like it? Did you know I can give you anything you want?" I was about to laugh at what he said. Me? Will like this?Shut up, Kai.“Mister, I'm sorry." I chuckle to insult him. "But I have no intention to wear this for the rest of my life. No." I shook my head. “Actually, I'd like to take off this irritating clothing. Why did I need to dress up like this when we were simply going to eat dinner? Do you have any feelings for me?""Yes, there is." But he had a mischievous grin on his face. "And if you wish, I could make you my wife."I took the glass of water. I drank it till it was empty.I'm disgusted by what he's saying. What did I say that he didn't understand? I hope he didn't try to force me to do what he wanted again. But he was obviously just playing me."There is no poisonous substance in my drink
(Venal POV)We are on the terrace. The wind was howling. I can feel the cold that makes me quite shiver.Master Dryzen sipped his tea elegantly while staring outside. His gaze was directed at the dinner taking place on the terrace of a well-known Five-star Hotel. I knew he could hear what they were discussing.I blocked him earlier from entering the Five-Star hotel before it was too late. There are so many people in that place, and we can't possibly cover what Master Dryzen will do. His annoyance subsided when I told her why Miss Dahlia had to face the Grand Alpha of the werewolves, Kai. She was forced to have a dinner date with the Grand Alpha.The Grand Alpha group was the only group he is avoiding. Werewolves were aware that Master Dryzen blood can grant them immortality. Master Dryzen was well aware of the sole competency of those who served him. We, as humans, have little chance against the vicious and aggressive werewo
