Erika asks seriously, and the room goes strangely quiet. "Dios mio. Fine," I say, caving only because they aren't going to let up. "Her name is Quincy, okay? We've gone out once. That's it. Stop acting like I'm about to walk down the aisle." "Gone out once, and she's already been in three pictures," Eduardo says. "The girl works fast."

“I didn't know you were back in Jakarta.” “I’m here as the lead consultant for the Nusantara Global Fund,” Julian explained, glancing briefly at Haris with a polite, but dismissive, nod. “We’re the primary investors for your studio’s international expansion. I requested this assignment specifically because I knew you were the one behind the lens.” He turned back to Serena, his gaze softening in a way that felt dangerously intimate. “I heard about everything, Serena. The loss, the struggle... the betrayal. I can’t tell you how much I regret not being here to help you carry that weight.”

He loved how her stares made him feel. --- The night was still young. Jesse and K were out again on the street. They just finished eating, both of them were feeling so full and satisfied with their meal. Jesse got them Shoyu ramen bowls. K was berating him for eating the pork char siu slices on the side, being that he was Jewish. He just laughed it off, clearly rebellious of his faith and even went as far as mocking Judaism. He remarked that it was getting tougher and tougher to be a bad Jew. And that if necessary, he would kill his rabbi with a pork chop without any hesitation, should his religion be an impediment at how he wanted to live his life. K was so amused at Jesse's shrewd thinking

replied Gerald in a casual tone. “I see… I go by Futaba Fujiko, and I’m part of Japan’s special forces. I’m here to participate in a special forces competition. Unfortunately, I somehow ended up getting sneak attacked by enemies of my family. Had you not stepped in, I would’ve surely died back there…” explained Fujiko as she shook her head.

Nick asked. “I’m disappointed, Nick. You contacted the Council behind my back and you thought that I’d go along with everything just because this Alpha is young and inexperienced. Today he proved much more valuable than your years of experience. Jericho Cannon, you’re going to make an exceptional Alpha,” Kai said and disappeared with Falcon as they ported away.

Everybody wanted a chance to be affiliated with Rayuwa royalty. Adam walked up to Kawu, and I felt a tinge of jealousy. I knew he was doing the right thing, but I still felt terrible. Kawu was the head of the family; he would be the one to receive the guests and greetings. Gogo instructed me to serve Adam and Kawu some Kunu drink and Kosai, and I moved to do just that. When I brought the refreshments to Adam, we locked eyes, and I could not hold his gaze. I immediately felt shy and looked away while a smile betrayed me. My Kawu noticed what happened and smiled. To my surprise, my Kawu spoke to Adam in front of everyone.

He stopped in front of me. “I want a raise,” I repeated. “Mr. Aster, I’ve been with the company for eight years, and my monthly salary has always been six thousand. New hires are already making fifteen thousand a month, but I’m still at six. “And for five straight years, I secured eighty million dollars in core contracts—” "Smack!" Before I could finish, a slap struck my face. My head snapped to the side. My ears buzzed, and my cheek instantly burned. Before I could react, a second slap came. Then a third.

Finally, I pull away, looking at Aurel's face, afraid she might be angry about the kiss. I'm just about to apologize for kissing her again when, before I can utter the words, Aurel reaches out and tugs at the jacket I'm wearing. In an instant, her soft lips are moving against my lower lip, gently sucking it, and then moving it slightly. It's as if she's exploring the sensation, and I can't help but embrace her tightly, deepening the kiss, not wanting it to end. The warmth between us seems to restore my body and strength, the pain I felt before seems to vanish, and I'm almost thirsty for the aroma of Aurel and the kiss she's sharing with me.

“Hyakuya Kurai! Come out! I am Karasuma Takashi. The Captain of the Kendo club and the champion ‘Thunder’ among my high school peers in the prefecture. I have heard of your strength and the deeds which you have committed. I challenge you!” Kurai smirked hearing a challenge on his first day at school. “I guess he had heard of what you did this morning.” Cai Kang said. “He might be more upset that you managed to crush Kazuha’s hand.” “This is nothing. I’ve gotten way worse injuries than this.” Kazuha said.

I said to myself. Alpha Ryu stood before the pack in his red and black royal robe and a stringent smile that I had never seen before. I doubt the pack members have seen it too, as they also couldn’t believe it, washing their faces several times with water just to confirm. “I would like to thank my personal maid, as she was the one who washed these dishes. She has quite the guts to wash five hundred thousand, five hundred and fifty-four plates with not a single stain on them. She’s pretty much more excited about it than the rest of us”. He chuckled.
