Mr. Alex, for a moment, was lost in his thoughts, trying to be as considerate as possible. He didn’t want to be the one to break the news to Adrian because, in truth, he doubted that Vivienne would agree to the suggestion Adrian just made about taking her to the city. When she’s the one who got threatened and is in the middle of many people who want to destroy her, he really didn’t see her agreeing to this.He just had a feeling this would definitely hurt the young man’s feelings if he were the one to tell him no. And realizing he had taken quite a while to reply, he wanted to avoid making the air feel awkward.“You know… I really don’t want to be the one to answer that. But about getting my permission, it’s totally fine if she’s the one agreeing to it herself, and I’d be happy to support in any way I can. I do trust you like one of my own family,” Mr. Alex said, choosing his words carefully as if he didn’t want to slip through them.His guilt st

In a dark room that had almost no source of light except a candle that flickered under the pressure of the air that subtly blew.Despite the day being bright outside, the room was completely covered from the sun.Mr. Ronan sat on a one-sitter chair at the edge of the room. His white beads made his face recognizable even in the poor sight of the room.“You failed to invite him over. Do you know how important this is to me?” he said in a deep tone as his face tightened.Mr. Antony stood a few feet away from him, looking helpless and unable to speak.“Just one single person, and you can’t handle him.” Ronan groaned in a deeper tone as his anger grew even more.In truth, Mr. Antony had anticipated that it’d be the easiest thing to get Adrian to come down to his house if he wanted. After all, he had once gotten Adrian to come by, and he was sure that Vivienne’s name was enough to make him curious. So, he thought that just ca

Adrian and Steve finally entered the parlor after they were done discussing the matter. Steve felt this was a very serious situation they were in right now, and that’s why he believed discussing it in a more secure place was a better option. He just wasn’t sure how the others would react to something like this anyway.But with the way Adrian, as usual, disregarded his concerns as though they were nothing but mere worries, it even made him feel like he might have just wasted Adrian’s time bringing him here—when he’d expected something important, and clearly what Steve told him now wasn’t even a bother to him at all.If only Steve could change Adrian’s mind about staying here any longer. He really had a feeling that things might just take a worse turn with the enemies from other kingdoms.To Steve, he always saw those people as enemies no matter how Adrian would say that they were friends as well because they were all the same humans after all.

The reason Lyra was the only granddaughter Mrs. Lane had left was something Lyra herself didn’t understand. The old woman was cruel to all her children, and she disowned each of them as though they were never a part of her family. In fact, she could say the only reason why her mother was still able to remain in the Lanes’ property was because of her. The kind of connection that existed between them was something Lyra couldn’t understand, but it seemed as though the old woman was trusting her with everything she had built. After the forth and back of their little argument, Lyra grew tired of it. She really didn’t want to make things more difficult for the old woman who was fighting critical health issues. “Okay, I’ll think about it,” Lyra said to the old woman, hoping these words would help her get off the hook at least for the rest of the day. “Ah, I know that you’re always a good girl. Be quick and prepare tomorrow. I’ll arrange a blind date for both of you.” Mrs. Lane said wi

Lyra finally had no choice but to agree to the marriage anyways. Or maybe she only deceived her grandma about it because her mother had realized that Lyra wasn’t ready to consider this at all. “Why should I get married to a man? Tell me why after all they did to you. After my father bullied and beat you up all the time and cursed you as if you’re his problem.” Lyra started to cry out her eyes as she faced her mother who’s pleading her into considering the marriage with this stranger that her grandma had arranged for her. “I know. I understand your worries, my daughter. And I am not trying to force you into one, all you need to do is a wedding with the man. You don’t have to trust him anyways and after you’ve got what you need you can divorce him then.” Nola started to tell her the plan on how to use Adrian as a pawn in their little game. “Look at it like this, one to fulfil your grandma’s wish and also to ge
