Brandon Caesar stepped out of his white Rolls-Royce Wraith just after his driver parked it in front of Malikha’s apartment building. He walked inside as he had a few days earlier when he visited her. He had come to check on Malikha and talk to her.He paused for a moment, hesitating, before finally heading up the stairs to the floor where Malikha lived. When he reached her apartment door, Brandon took a deep breath and raised his hand to knock. However, his hand froze when he faintly heard a man’s laughter inside, mingling with Malikha’s. Frowning, Brandon decided to take a peek.Fortunately for him, Malikha hadn’t locked the door, so he was able to turn the handle and ease it open slowly. From the entrance, he could immediately see the sofa in the middle of the room. He inhaled sharply when he saw Malikha giggling softly as a man teased her, his arms wrapped around her. That man was none other than his own son, Aidan.Brandon opened the door wider and stepped inside quietly, unnotice

“At last, we meet again. My name is Jayden Lin. I’m your fiancé’s best friend,” Jayden said with a soft chuckle.Malikha immediately blushed at his words, her cheeks warming in a way she couldn’t hide. Lucy, who overheard the remark, widened her eyes in shock. What had Mr. Lin just said? She glanced at Aidan, her boss, only to find him smiling broadly, as though Jayden’s claim were entirely true.With her cheeks still flushed, Malikha introduced herself in return. She quickly realized that Jayden was the same man who had scolded Aidan the first time they met at the pub where she used to work.“My name is Malikha Swan. Welcome to Estrela, Mr. Lin.”Jayden shrugged lightly. “No need to be so formal. I’m just a regular here. I come by quite often. But thank you for the warm welcome. And one more thing… call me Jayden,” he replied with an easy smile as he took his seat.Malikha smiled back, instantly put at ease by Jayden’s friendly demeanor. She found herself relieved that Aidan had such

ONE WEEK LATERThe NYPD handcuffed James Belgenza, Mars King, Jayden Lin, and Aidan Caesar after being arrested in an apartment. Behind them, Kazuya Han and Grey Hunter were also in the same way. There was a mess everywhere after the massive clash between the Kagawa gang and the Seven Wolves. They were escorted outside with their hands cuffed behind their backs as the relentless flashes of reporters’ cameras captured every moment.With sluggish steps, Aidan climbed into a police car without sparing a glance at any of the cameras. His face was bruised and expressionless, and he casually wiped the remaining trace of blood from the corner of his lips.They were separated into five different police vehicles, injured, dirty, yet still strikingly handsome. Aidan was placed in the fourth car, calmly stepping in and taking a seat in the back beside an officer assigned to escort him.By tomorrow, the headlines would undoubtedly explode with

After the massive brawl between members of The Seven Wolves and the Kagawa yakuza, Aidan and several of his friends were taken into police custody. Before carrying out the mission, Aidan had managed to send a message to his fiancée, asking if she would mind postponing their wedding ceremony for a week. Malikha accepted it immediately. Partly because her heart was still uncertain, she also did not want to burden Aidan with worries about her feelings.However, the very next day, Malikha arrived at the NYPD along with Glenn Matthews on Arjoona’s orders. Before that, Arjoona had taken the time to visit the wives and partners of the Seven Wolves members who the New York Police were detaining. Vanylla and Ratu knew that Mars and Jayden had willingly gone to jail to cover up the gang.Malikha, however, did not. Meanwhile, Delilah was forced to remain in the hospital after the assault she had suffered. James refused to let her leave until she had fully recovered.

Arjoona pushed the door open and stepped into the corridor leading toward the altar. He walked ahead, guiding his friend and the others behind him into the grand ballroom where Aidan Orlando Caesar’s wedding would take place. The soft strains of the wedding march filled the air, accompanying the steady footsteps of The Seven Wolves as they escorted one of their own to the altar.Before leaving her room, Malikha had been draped in a delicate lace veil, a beautiful tiara resting atop her head. In that moment, she was transformed—from a simple girl into a queen. Waiting outside her door were the elite members of Golden Dragon, personally assigned by Jayden to escort Malikha and her bridesmaids to the Estrela ballroom.Several hotel staff members, who had once worked alongside Malikha, stood in neat rows, welcoming their friend, who was about to become the partner of Estrela’s powerful owner officially.“Her life really is like Cinderella&rsq
