MasukThe Matchmaking
“David, this is Maximilian Levine. He is a respected man from America who has settled in our country. Do not be rude,” replied Leo. “Why does your name sound familiar… and your face resembles someone’s? But I cannot remember who. Welcome to our country and I hope you feel at home here.” David shook hands with Maximilian. “Ah… it does not matter. Perhaps we shall become business partners one day. Maybe I resemble someone you know. I must leave now.” Maximilian walked away after speaking briefly with David. At that moment, he was already with Leo. He immediately invited Leo to speak seriously. “What is the reason you wished to see me?” asked Leo. “There has been a break-in at home. Surely it is Mother’s enemies, who were once Grandfather Anderson’s enemies. You must protect Mother if you truly wish to marry her,” answered Morgan. “What? Who attacked you?”Olivia on the Run “Damn it! Turn off that screen. I’m not afraid of anyone. Olivia, forgive me! They must be his enemies, but instead, they’re ruining your fashion show,” said David. At that moment, David immediately called his men to fix the internet security system in that place, so that remote video access and the masked man could no longer intrude and cause chaos as they pleased. “I’ve already ordered my men to handle the situation and repair the system both at your fashion company and at this show venue. You’ll be safe. I’ll continue investigating everything. Olivia… I don’t want you to suffer any longer,” David said sincerely. “Thank you! But please make sure that what you say is proven true. Don’t let it be nothing but empty words.” “I know. From now on, I’ll protect you because you’re better by my side. Joshua, the man you chose to be your new husband, is gone. I’ll take
Choose One “I’ve already sent him to prison, but it seems he’s escaped. He’s incredibly cunning, Olivia,” David replied. Olivia gripped David’s hand tightly, trying to find a trace of comfort in that physical contact. She didn’t know exactly what she was feeling, but one thing was certain — she could never go back to this man. “What should we do, David?” her voice broke, trembling with fear and anxiety. “What do they want from us?” “We have to choose,” he said quietly, his voice filled with a firmness that even he didn’t fully believe. “They want us to choose survival. But what price must we pay for it? My enemy seems to hold a grudge against me, yet I don’t know what it’s truly about — or why.” The masked man’s words echoed again, deeper and more terrifying this time, reverberating through the fashion show’s massive screen. “Only one of
Blood on the Stage “What is it that you want from me?” David asked. “Protect me! If you truly wish to atone for what you’ve done, then help me with Joshua’s funeral. I’ll explain everything to his parents — I’ll tell them the truth. Please, help me talk to them,” Olivia said. “All right. I’ll go with you to Joshua’s parents’ house. I’ll take care of the arrangements.” “David, I need a psychiatrist. If I don’t get help, my mind will fall apart. I could lose my sanity. I’ve lost Joshua, and it feels as if my heart has shattered. He wanted to marry me to protect me from you, but now he’s gone.” “I won’t ever hurt you again, I promise. Just… don’t marry anyone else.” David pulled Olivia into his arms, wiping the tears from her face. “Why is everything falling apart? Why must my life be like this? Why were our parents ever involved with such dangerous enemies? Even my uncle was cruel
Olivia's Fiancé's Death “What do you want from me? How dare you tie Olivia up like that?” shouted David when he saw Olivia bound hand and foot. Inside the mansion, two tigers — the man’s pets — sat calmly on either side of him. “David, do you remember why Emily died?” the man asked again. “Who are you? How do you know Emily? Are you the one behind the accident that killed my first love?” David’s voice rose in shock. The fact that this stranger knew about Emily — about his past — rattled him to the core. The man said nothing. He simply stroked the heads of his two tigers. “Do you want to see Olivia — the woman you love — die the same way as Emily? Or shall I let my pets tear her apart alive?” he laughed, the sound echoing chillingly through the hall. “No… I’ll do whatever you want. Please, don’t hurt her. Olivia, hold on,” David pleaded, his v
Joshua Is Shot “Where are you taking us?” Joshua and Olivia shouted at the same time. “Follow me and my men. It’s the boss’s orders — you’re being taken somewhere safer, not here,” the man replied curtly. They were escorted out of the mansion, each flanked by two armed men. As they walked towards the car, Olivia felt her fear growing deeper with every step. “What’s going to happen to us?” she thought anxiously, but no answer came to ease her mind. Once they reached the car, they were forced inside. The doors locked with a sharp click, and the vehicle sped off, leaving the mansion behind. The masked man had received word that their location had been compromised, so they were being moved to the main mansion. The car drove further and further away towards an unknown destination, heavy with dread. Inside, there was nothing but a suffocating silence, broken only by the hum of the eng
Save Joshua “Where are you? What’s happened? Answer calmly. Where are you now, Olivia?” David asked. “Help me! If you don’t I will die. Please — save Joshua. He’s been shot by your enemies and they’ve kidnapped me,” Olivia cried. “What? Who? Which enemies? You have some nerve. Send me your location and I’ll come for you.” Olivia fell silent. At that moment a large, masked man snatched the phone from her hand and spoke into it. “Mr Anderson, if you don’t come, these two will die in the tank,” the man threatened. “Damn it! Who are you? What do you want?” David demanded. “Come quickly. You’ll only need an hour. Someone will fetch you. You must come alone. Do not involve the police or your men if you want them to live,” the man said. “All right. I’ll come. Send your people to collect me. I’ll come alone, unaccompanied.” The man cut the call and immediate
