and if you’re really doing this for her, don’t ever expect anything in return. Finally decided, Hero looks up at Lyra's condo building one more time then leads his motorbike to the building just next to it. He disappears into the underground parking area, reappears at the front desk, gets greeted by the lone guard sitting behind the desk, then finally enters the elevator. The condo unit he enters was obviously newly cleaned. Hero smiles at the fresh smells and neat dustless interior. He was about to take a bath but he realizes that Lyra’s scent was still on his chest, shirt, arms…

“Don’t hide them from me.” His weight didn't let her move despite her best efforts. Her strength was nothing in front of him. He was dealing with her so roughly. She didn't like a bit of it but she had no other way. He was going to taint her. He was going to disgrace her dignity. Her forehead was covered in shimmering sweat beads.

The other, the one clutched tightly in her arms, was Josef’s personal prototype: the 001 of the twenty-two limited pieces. If Julian saw it… the connection between her and Josef would be impossible to explain. She’d promised Josef to keep their relationship quiet for now, so she instinctively shielded it. Julian noticed. He glanced once at the box she hid, then at the pink leather watch on display—assuming the hidden box must contain the men’s pair to match it. He didn’t question it. No need. He simply closed the gemstone watch’s box again, set it on the counter, and pushed it gently toward her.

"I represent the Salento family! You're provoking" "Shut up." David cut him off coldly. "What is Salento to the Vanguard family?" Soon, the two were taken away. Marcus's face had turned ashen. He finally realized he'd crossed someone he absolutely shouldn't have. "Miss Aria." Marcus's voice began to shake. "I... I didn't know your true identity" "Now you do." I cut him off. "Too bad, it's too late." I walked up to him, looking up at this man who had once been so powerful.

Angel didn’t mind backing down when she knew it was in her best interest to know what these people knew. Hunter was flabbergasted he asked more calmly “Can someone tell me what is going on?” Michael simply handed him the piece of paper, they watched as all the color drained from Hunter’s face and he stared in stunned disbelief at Angel. When the letter had been passed around to everyone in the room who had just arrived. Michael spoke saying “It appears that Stacia wasn’t off with her friend that summer, she’d gone into hiding to give birth to her daughter. Whom she then gave to someone.”

"Yeah." Silence settled comfortably between them. Not painful. Just honest. Upstairs, Aiden's laughter echoed from his room where Zara was probably teaching him something she absolutely shouldn't. The sound drifted through the house. Warm. Alive. Alicia looked at Henry's letter one final time. Then carefully folded it closed. For years Henry Dickson had built an empire. For years he had believed power was the answer. But in the end, the secret he protected wasn't money. Or Harbor.

Riley was busy trying to open the seatbelt. As soon as the road was free I sped off again. My heart started to race and I took deep breaths trying to calm down. I looked at the time again and I had only10 minutes left and we were almost home. We got to the house with only 8 minutes to spare. I was ready to ditched them in the car when Hero's mom came through the front door of their house as soon as I shut the car off. "Shit I have to hide, dont let her know I'm in here." He says in a panicked voice.

Jiroo hissed as we both peeked at them. "Why am I hiding too? They don't even know that I'm the Deity's daughter." Hera said and my gaze shifted at her and let her go. "I'm sorry, I got carried away." I said and shifted back my gaze at the boys with Rujin who's already approaching the two guys. "Hera, start the car." I said and she obliged right away. "Be ready to drive and stop in front of them so they can easily jump in.." "Why do you sound like you know what's bound to happen?" Cubby asked, whispering.

Hero said coldly, raising his hand to strike. "No! Mr. Weber, don't kill me! I know another secret about Kaplan!" The man's voice trembled with fear. "Oh?" Hero paused. "I know Kaplan is secretly training a martial arts legend and preparing to build his own faction! I can help the Webers eliminate this threat," the man pleaded, grasping at his one remaining hope—Hero's mercy. "Interesting. Go on," Hero said, calming his fierce aura. The man in black exhaled in relief and quickly dropped to his knees. "Mr. Weber, I can pretend my mission failed and return to the Larsens, feeding their intel to you!"

"To avoid alarming them, we contacted your company and had you come back early. We thought you might refuse, but I'm glad you managed to find me. I'm sorry." I patted his shoulder, signaling him not to worry. I'd suspected Nydia for more than just a day or two. A few times, when I came back from a business trip, I noticed something off about her.

Why not help each other? A few days later, I divorced Nydia.
