Frazzled NervesVictor's eyes continued roaming around this vacation home; Dynasty proudly announced that she had purchased it for pleasure. Everything about this place spoke of what she felt was romance to her. He strolled into the large living room, surrounded by large windows for the most beautiful views when the weather was clear. Even he couldn’t believe they were going to be staying.Dynasty’s fear of how she could have been left on that cold, dark road all night preoccupied her mind. She couldn’t even enjoy the sight of how lovely the villa looked. She was so happy to be out of the bad weather. Quickly, she went around the living room, closing all the curtains to block out the constant lightning. Victor thought it was gorgeous and breathtaking, but she couldn’t see any enjoyment in it right now. “Hey, honey, let’s go look for the bathroom so you can get dry and comfortable, and I’ll find something for us to drink.” “Oh, okay. I guess I should go and get out of these wet clot
Grateful, Despite...Dynasty wanted to say something to him that would probably be very disappointing. He can’t stay at her lodging with her, no matter how late it is. But she couldn't do it. She was grateful Victor showed up like a knight in the night to save her and not some stranger. Dynasty knew she should be happy and content to have him be with her at this perilous time. “It’s getting late, and I’m wet and tired, and I’m sure you are too. So what do you want me to do?”“I have lodging.”“So, where is your hotel?” “I’m not staying at a hotel. I recently bought a vacation home here since I frequent it for business.” “It must be nice to be so wealthy at your young age that you can buy a vacation home,” Victor said, wondering if his father’s money, which her company stole, was responsible for her lavish lifestyle.“Do you know how young I’ve been working? No, you don’t. Most of my life. I work hard and deserve whatever I purchase. So what are your plans?” “I was planning to go o
Unexpected Appearing“I need to grab my luggage first. My suitcases are in the trunk, and I can’t just leave my things out here all night,” Dynasty replied, worry creeping into her voice.Victor stayed close behind her, holding an umbrella to shield her from the downpour. As they walked, he couldn't help but notice her figure—how her shirt clung to her in the rain made her look striking. But he quickly brushed away any thoughts of attraction, reminding himself to focus on helping her.Dynasty reached the back of the car and tried to open the trunk, but it wouldn’t budge. “What’s wrong with this car?” she exclaimed, frustration clear as rain water dripped down her face.“Come on, we’re getting soaked out here!” Victor said, a mix of urgency and impatience in his tone as the rain continued to pour.Dynasty thought about the loud music they had heard earlier. Looking down at her soaked boots, she noticed Victor glancing at them, both realizing they had a problem. “I don’t want to ruin y
RescueShe pressed the ignition button again, only to hear the engine click uselessly, giving no sign of life. "This isn’t happening!" she murmured, feeling the weight of hopelessness settle heavily on her. If only she could reach someone for help—who could she even call in such a lonely spot? Would roadside assistance come to these remote areas?Determined to try again, she powered up her phone, struggling with the slippery device, when suddenly, a flash of headlights cut through the darkness. Her heart raced as she hurried to open the door, but the cold and fear weakened her legs. Gathering her courage, she forced herself out of the car, her once-clean boots now soaked and muddy from the relentless rain.Meanwhile, Victor was speeding down the narrow back road, his heart racing along with the speedometer. He glanced at his GPS, the flickering screen guiding him through the gloom, and noticed he still had 18 minutes to go on this unfamiliar, twisty route. Raindrops pounded against t
The Get AwayDynasty laughs. “No, you are adding words to mouth. Let’s plan to get together when I get back, okay…”“Alright, I’ll just drink myself into a stupor until you return.” “You don’t strike as a big drinker.”“I’m a Korean man. I can hold my liquor.”“I don’t doubt that. But I would like to see it,” she said flirtatiously.“Deal! I’ll see you soon, Miss Dynasty.” “Yes, you will. Now get some sleep.” The minute his eyes opened up the next morning, he grabbed his phone.“Hey Taemon, I need you to do me a favor. Miss DuBois needs a little trouble. Do you know what I mean? Nothing calamitous, just very inconvenient for her.”“Got it! I’ll take care of it.”“I called her office and, according to her partner or boss or whatever she is, said she’s taking a little trip late this evening, on the city's outskirts.”“Cool, consider it done.”He could not deny that she was unforgettable and remarkable, but she was also a savvy girl. “So what is the best way to win a woman’s heart li
Victor's Hotel Suite:Victor sat in his dimly lit hotel room, the only sound the clock ticking. Two days and nights had passed in this eerie silence, each moment stretching into an eternity as he eagerly awaited news from Greg. He couldn't shake the feeling that something crucial was approaching. He expected to hear from Dynasty or for her to surprise him with a visit, but neither had materialized. With a growing sense of urgency, he decided to go to Greg's room."Hey, G! Do you have any updates on that file I handed you? I've been waiting patiently for two days and look forward to hearing your findings. What's taking so long?""I'm still meticulously reviewing all the information at hand. The file is disappointingly vague, and upon closer inspection, I've noticed a discrepancy with the dates that don't align with our original timeline. Some of the documents I'm scrutinizing might date back several years more than we perceive. It appears that Angela isn't the key player in this deal a
Doubt, Deceit, DesireBack at the office:Angela paced restlessly in her high heels, the commanding click of her stilettos striking the polished marble floor, each echo reverberating through the taut silence that enveloped the room. Clad in a form-fitting white leather skirt that accentuated her figure and a striking red and yellow silk blouse that cascaded elegantly over her shoulders, she stood resolutely before Dynasty's imposing cream marble desk, the weight of unvoiced expectations pressing heavily upon her. The office, draped in rich, dark wine wallpaper and bathed in soft, muted lighting, felt almost stifling—its silence thick with the residue of unsaid thoughts.Her mind raced, a tempest of anxiety and doubt swirling chaotically in the aftermath of recent days. She cast furtive glances at Dynasty, who was unsettlingly still, her gaze locked onto an invisible point as though bracing for an impending deluge. Angela pondered in dread how long this icy calm could persist before it
Chasing The EnemyThe ladies can hear the sound of the pavement pounding, which gives them a clue in which direction to go on this massive roof, which is thousands of square feet. They listen carefully to the movement and take off to the other side of the roof, in the direction of Victor, Daeseung, and Greg. "Attached! Attached! Attached!" The trio echoed with adrenaline-fueled urgency as they secured their ropes to their belts.Drawing on their intense training, they launched themselves down the shimmering glass facade of the 20-story skyscraper, scaling the height with astonishing speed and precision. Victor, Greg, and Daeseung moved like shadows—their footsteps light and swift, orchestrated like a well-rehearsed performance.As they reached a precarious ledge, their hearts raced at the nearby commotion. The moment was electric! Seeing the ropes dangling tantalizingly, Angelique darted towards them with fierce determination. "Cut the ropes! Hurry, girls, before they escape!" she
DangerThe atmosphere was thick with tension, darkness enveloping everyone as they paused, caught in a breathless moment! Nothing could be heard, as if the world held its breath. Then, Taemon's voice crackled urgently through everyone's earpiece, shattering the stillness. "Get out of there, now!" With deliberate precision, Victor sank into a low stance, his movements fluid and stealthy. He slipped along the wall like a shadow, the rough surface guiding him through the ominous gloom as he hastened back to Greg and Daeseung. The Jewels, their expressions a mix of bewilderment and fear, exchanged anxious glances, their minds racing as they tried to comprehend the unfolding chaos."Do you think it’s them, boss?" Angelique’s voice was a tense whisper, her eyes darting toward Dynasty's office as shadows clung to the corners of the hallway."More than likely," Dynasty replied, a tightness in their tone that sent a shiver down her spine.The silence thickened, pressing against them like an
