Emine emerged from Aiden's bedroom and entered the hallway, her eyes scanning the familiar surroundings. Everything appeared unchanged, as if frozen in time. She couldn't help but scrutinize the hall, her gaze landing on the audacious portrait of Nora that still proudly adorned the wall. It was a stark reminder that Nora still held the reins of ownership. Emine scoffed, finding the situation absurd, and with a dismissive air, she departed.Meanwhile, Aiden, still grappling with his awakening senses, embarked on a search of the house, only to find it devoid of any presence. Perplexed, he muttered to himself, "This girl has truly grown wings." Determined to assert his authority, he made a decisive call to Finn, instructing him to contact Mr. Shadrach and terminate the deal with Emine. Adding a touch of audacity, Aiden declared, "Tell him I'll sweeten the deal with an additional thirty percent, just to see how far she dares to challenge me."As the clock neared nine in the morning, Sandr

"Take it easy, your ex- wife has become invisible, we couldn't find any information about how she went missing and the life she lived. Aww I wonder who is backing her.""Mm, you are right," Aiden said as he was deep in thought. Aiden was deep in thought, pondering the mysterious disappearance of his ex-wife, who seemed to have become invisible. The lack of information about her whereabouts and her life left him wondering who might be supporting her.Just then, Finn knocked on the door. "Boss, it is said that one of the young masters has been brutally killed.""What does this woman actually want?" Grey asked, holding his waist and contemplating the situation."Any news about her?" Aiden inquired."No sir, but we are still investigating," replied Finn."I think it is time to be really serious about this woman. She will destroy the country if care is not taken," Grey said."You are right, Finn, check intelligence agencies' databases and request information on known assassins or contract

The stage was set, and the time for secrets and shadows was coming to an end. The thunder roared its approval, as if nature itself had chosen to align with the forces of justice. Aiden, Grey, and Emily knew that they had a daunting task ahead of them, but their resolve burned brightly, pushing aside any doubts or fears.With the Devil Queen's weapon in their possession and Emily's insider knowledge, they meticulously planned their next move. They would gather irrefutable evidence against Lady Victoria Kensington, expose her criminal activities, and ensure she faced the consequences of her actions.The first step was to infiltrate Lady Victoria's mansion during one of her secretive gatherings. Emily knew the layout of the estate, the security protocols, and the people involved. It was a risk, but it was a risk they had to take.Under the cover of darkness, Aiden, Grey, and Emily made their way to the mansion. Rain poured relentlessly, masking their movements and adding an eerie atmosph

"You!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with rage as she pointed accusingly at the shattered plate. "Do you have any idea how much this damn thing cost?"Her heart raced with a mixture of fury and frustration, and she could feel the heat rising in her cheeks. But instead of cowering under her glare, he met her anger with a disdainful mask of contempt. His face transformed into a sneering visage of mockery, eyebrows furrowing into a pronounced V-shaped crease above the bridge of his nose. A half-smirk curled his lips, one corner raised in a mocking gesture that belittled her outrage."Unreasonable?" he scoffed, his voice dripping with derision. "Who in their right mind would catch a weapon that could end their life? Your expectations are absurd."Her fury flared even brighter at his callous response. "Do you dare to court death, MC?" she shot back, her voice laced with a dangerous edge. Unable to bear the unfair treatment any longer, she huffed in exasperation and stormed out of the

"He said it's your responsibility to find out on your own," he replied."Yes, Mr. Aiden, I understand that it's my job. But you're not answering my questions. Can you please cooperate with me?""I am cooperating, but why do you keep asking unnecessary questions?" Aiden responded.Briana sighed in frustration. This man is completely unreasonable, and he lacks emotional intelligence."Mr. Aiden, I suggest you take some time to reflect on your feelings for her. Determine whether you love or hate her. Consider how you would treat her if she approached you or if you would let her go. These are the questions you need to answer for yourself," Brianna said seriously.Aiden listened attentively. Brianna might be right; he needs to sort things out on his own. Maybe he still harbors resentment towards her. He talked to her for a while and then left....Everly was in her room, engrossed in watching a reality show, when Miss Harrison entered."Dear Everly, how are you doing?" Miss Harrison asked.
