“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
"Turn your wounds into wisdom." -Oprah Winfrey- *** Charlotte headed back to Harper’s apartment with a heavy heart. She couldn’t believe her own sons would choose a mere woman like that who they just knew for a few weeks over their own mother. She knew she couldn’t let this continue on. She needed to do something before her sons were lost forever. “How did it go, mama?” Harper who heard her mother knocking opened up the door and asked right away. “You are right, darling. That woman is a problem for us. We need to get rid of her as soon as possible.” She told Harper right after the door was closed. “What should we do?” Harper asked. “Don’t worry, my baby, I have a plan in mind.” Charlotte said before she entered her room and locked the door. She picked up her phone and dialed the number of one of her associate in there. “Hello, I’d like to hire someone.” She said. “Okay, just giv
"Losing someone we love, or the fear of losing someone we love one day is a difficult experience and we all can relate to it. None of us are an exception to this reality." -Aamir Khan- *** “Why is she like this?” They looked at her condition after the surgery and saw the wound from the surgery earlier. It broke their heart to see her like this. Kilian sat at the sofa and tried to calm himself down. He knew she would be fine. His fifty million pounds lady would be fine. In the meantime, he needed to catch whoever sent the assassin for her and made sure they paid for what they did. Maximus on the other hand was more uneasy. He kept on walking back and forth across the room as he looked at her with a frown. “Hey you, wake up.” Maximus approached her and knelt so his height matched the length of the hospital’s bed. “Levana, I don’t mind if you look at me with the same judging gaze, I also forgive y
"Ignore all hatred and criticism. Live for what you create, and die protecting it."-Lady Gaga-***Kilian headed to Ace’s home with his men.When he entered the house, he saw Ace’s wife in the kitchen and when she saw that a bunch of random men have entered her house, she wanted to scream, but Jerome quickly grabbed her and shut her mouth.He placed a tape on her mouth to silence her and then tied her up to a chair. Considering the woman’s demeanor, there was no way she could escape the ties of the chair.Not long after, the door opened and Ace came in unassumingly.When he saw his wife tied up on the chair with a gun on her head, he wanted to pull out his gun and shoot Jerome but before he could, Emmet placed the tip of the gun on the bald man’s head and Kilian showed up from the side.“Ace, I didn’t think I would see you again like this.” Kilian pulled a cha
