“I want to take you out for an afternoon tea today. Get ready.” It was Saturday morning and Levana and the brothers were having breakfast when Kilian suddenly decided to say that.
“Afternoon tea?” Levana thought it was really random. Why would he suddenly take her out for an afternoon tea?
“Yes, it’s just going to be the two of us.” When Maximus heard it, he was feeling a little skeptical because he knew his brother quite well.
He wasn’t the kind of guy who would enjoy spending his time doing afternoon tea with a woman. He was a very direct man with barely any sense of romanticism at all.
Why would he suddenly ask her to have afternoon tea together.
“Okay, I guess. But I have to tell you, I have never been to one of these event before. I don’t really know
"Health is not valued till sickness comes."-Thomas Fuller-***“You have been quiet since we left the hotel. What’s on your mind?” He asked. She was looking somewhat sad and he noticed it, but he didn’t want to mention it until they were alone at the car.“Nothing, it’s just, the way the woman was looking at me earlier. It’s like she was saying that I didn’t belong in there. As if I’m an embarrassment.” She admitted.Unlike some people who might hide their feelings about it, she preferred to communicate it instead.“Oh, so that’s why you’ve been looking down. Don’t worry too much about it. You only need to care about what I think and I spent one million pounds on you. You’re worth it, don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.” He told her as he held her hand.Levana has never been a woman who was easily moved
"Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle."-Napoleon Hill-***“Young master, that’s not how you make the sauce. You need to mix them like this.” The chef told Max about it as he patiently showed him the correct way to mix the sauce together.“What is the difference anyway? Either way it’s going to be mixed.” Max groaned.“Well, to make the perfect sauce for the lasagna, you need to properly measure the ingredients and use your feelings in the making.” The chef replied.“This is stupid.” He grunted as he started doing exactly as the chef showed him earlier. One might be wondering what was happening.Well, thirty minutes earlier, Maximus approached the private chefs who were getting ready to make breakfast and made a request to them.“Teach me how to make lasagna.” Well, it was more like an order. At fir
"The quality of our lives depends not on whether or not we have conflicts, but on how we respond to them."-Thomas Crum-***“Harper, what are you doing here?” Kilian asked. He didn’t look excited at all. Max also shared the same sentiment. Both of these men didn’t seem pleased by her arrival at all.“Hm, who is this woman and why is she calling them brothers?” Levana wondered. Judging from her appearance, she shared some kind of resemblance toward Maximus. Although not quite right.“Come on, are you seriously going to treat your younger sister like this after a year? I’m here to visit my brothers, of course.""Also because I have some modelling contract here in the UK. It’s going to last for a few months so I am staying here for now.” She proudly showed her suitcase which was placed in front of the door.“You know you could have called me firs
"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."-Solomon-***The sight before him truly made him furious. Kilian saw Harper slapping Levana really hard and she fell down to the ground. It flashed right before his eyes and Maximus saw the same scene as well.Seeing Levana who fell down with a red mark on her cheek and a slightly bleeding lip from the nail scratch, both Kilian and Maximus became furious.They quickly rushed over there and Kilian helped Levana to stand up while Maximus yelled at Harper.“What do you think you are doing!? Who are you to do something like this to her!?” He asked, completely forgetting that once upon a time, he too almost slapped her like this.If it wasn’t for Kilian who stopped him from doing that, he probably would have done the same thing before.“This bitch is getting on my nerve! She’s just a commoner but she dared to
"It's a form of human love to accept our complicated, messy humanity and not run away from it."-Martha Nussbaum-***The next morning at work, Kilian received the news from the mercenary he hired.“Vasco is dead.” It read. Kilian smiled and continued working on his job. It was then when he received a call from Max.“What is it?” He asked. From the other side of the line, Max sounded worried.“The Assembly wants to hold a meeting. They must have heard about Vasco’s death. Looks like they want to figure out who killed Vasco. He’s one of the biggest supplier after all. With him gone, their business will be slowed.” He explained.“So what? Let them hold the meeting.” Kilian responded. Maximus raised his brow. His brother sounded a little too calm for this situation.“Do you understand what is happening right now? We have to attend the meeti
"Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories." -Steven Wright- *** Levana was practicing her gun shooting abilities like usual and after a few times of training with Jonathan, she was becoming more and more agile that this time, she managed to shoot all the targets exactly on the head and heart area, as she intended. “Good job, Levana.” Jonathan complimented her as he slowly walked toward her from behind. He had been observing her since earlier and he could tell that her skill has greatly improved. It was nowhere near as good as professional sniper like him, but it was decent. “Thank you.” Levana put down the gun and removed her ear muff. “You’re quite energized today, did something happen?” He asked. When she was shooting earlier, she looked like she was shooting with passion. It made him wonder if there was anything that happened which made her act that way. “Do you
"For vengeance is an emptiness and he that seeketh it wasteth time." -Jeffery Farnol- *** Harper sat down in her bed and crossed her arms. She tried to keep herself busy that day with her modelling work, but something was still bothering her mind. It was about her brothers and that stranger woman they brought into the house. She had not seen her brothers in a year and was looking forward to seeing them again. Even though they were not full blood siblings, she didn’t hate them at all. She actually wanted to become closer to them, not just because of their wealth and fortune, but because life would be better if she had them as her backing. Yet when she finally saw them again, they showed the brotherly affection she so desperately wanted to gain from them to a woman they barely even knew. Harper simply couldn’t accept it. Throughout her life, she tried so hard to gain approval from both of them.
"Only those faults which we encounter in ourselves are insufferable to us in others." -Sophie Swetchine- *** Kilian and Maximus had just gotten back from work that day and they agreed that the two of them would take Levana out to watch a movie together. There were a lot of good shows and she has not been able to go to theatre since she arrived there. Although both men were actually jealous of each other on the inside because they wished they could just take her out to watch a movie alone, they knew it would be more comfortable for her if they watched it together. “Get ready, we are going to watch a movie at seven.” They told her a few hours before they were back and by the time they were home, she was already ready to go out. Levana was wearing a navy blue silky blouse and black pencil skirt with kitten heels. She also wore a navy handbag and a pair of dainty white gold earrings which complimented her
