"Kai ... how long are you going to hug and kiss me like this?" protested Anna Maria.This morning, after waking up and opening his eyes, instead of getting up right away, Kaivan held onto his wife's body even tighter. Hugging and even kissing Anne's cheek so affectionately and incessantly."I still want to hold you," he replied. "I just don't want to let you go. You have to stay by my side."Anne sighed softly. For some reason, the man next to her was acting so affectionate this morning. Completely different from Kaivan's usual stern and intimidating demeanor."I need to take a shower, Kai. It's already seven in the morning. You need to clean up and get ready for work."Kaivan didn't care. He even buried his face deeper into the curve of Anne's neck. Inhaling her scent deeply, then shortly responded again."Darling..." he whispered. "The distance between the room we're staying in and my office is just a few floors apart. No need to worry or rush. Besides, this Hotel is mine. Whether I
"By God, I miss you."Anne immediately rushed into the arms of the handsome man standing right in front of her. Without hesitation, the man embraced her back and kissed both of Anne's cheeks alternately. Reflecting the longing they had held back due to the distance that had separated them.After making sure that her husband was deeply asleep, Anne stealthily made her way to the emergency staircase not far from Kaivan's room. There she met the man who had been in contact with her from the beginning."Do you think I haven't missed you?" Anne responded after releasing her hug. "Why did you have to ask me to meet here? Why not in your room?" the woman asked in confusion.The man then invited Anne to sit on one of the steps not far from where they were standing. He began telling her everything he needed to convey."Of course, I sought a position not far from your room. Besides, this was done intentionally to avoid the CCTV cameras' capture."Anne nodded in understanding. Among all the loca
Anne was busy preparing breakfast this morning. After finishing cooking, she neatly presented the food. A while later, she pulled out a chair and calmly sat down, waiting for her husband to come out of the room.After a few minutes, the person Anne had been waiting for finally arrived. The man approached and gave her a quick peck before greeting her."Good morning, Honey," the man then pulled out a chair and sat down right in front of his wife. "What's for breakfast?" Kaivan asked enthusiastically."Panini sandwiches," Anne replied. She then placed a sandwich on Kaivan's plate, inviting her husband to taste it. "I hope you like it. It's still warm."Kaivan nodded. He picked up a knife and fork, slowly savoring the food that had been specially prepared for him.Panini itself is a sandwich originating from Italy. It usually uses whole bread that's grilled. The bread is then horizon
The car that Kaivan was riding in has just arrived at the courtyard of the Pullman building in Canary Wharf. Canary Wharf itself is a business district located in London, United Kingdom. This district is one of the two major financial districts in London that features many of the tallest buildings in the United Kingdom.Mike, who was accompanying Kaivan, quickly exited the car and promptly opened the door, allowing his superior to get out. They then confidently entered the building to meet their business associates who were waiting.Inside the building, Harold Van Douglas, a Dutch entrepreneur and the owner of Intercontinental Group, was already present. This group owns a well-known network of malls and shopping centers in mainland Europe. The 40-year-old man had specifically come to the UK to oversee his new mall construction project in the London area. Additionally, he intended to establish a business partnership with Kaivan's Four Season
"Open your face cover!"Anne blinked, trying to adapt to the piercing light. Once fully open, she cast a scanning gaze at the group of people gathered right in front of her.After the shootout with the Sicilian mafia members, she and her father had no choice but to surrender. They were then forced into a car. With their faces covered by cloth, they were taken to a location whose exact whereabouts were uncertain."Happy to be reunited with you, Giorgino Lopez," greeted a middle-aged man who was lounging in front of them. "I had to deploy quite a few men to catch a rat like you."Giorgino smiled. There was not a trace of fear on his face. Instead, he seemed to be mocking."Don Luca..." he whispered. "I mourn the fact that I caused you so much trouble in finding me. Was I too clever for your underlings, making them take so long to locate me?"Luca returned a sardonic smile. S
"I swear, if you end up handing over that chip to the M16, your wife's life will never be saved. You can prove my words.Kaivan clenched the phone in his hand. It was the second time he had read through the short message sent by Luca.After midnight, an uninvited guest arrived unexpectedly. This morning, Kaivan once again asked Hans and Dominique to come to his hotel immediately. Once they were in the room, they were all busy discussing the situation regarding Anne, who had recently been discovered to have been captured by Luca's henchmen."So, please tell me the entire sequence of events without any omissions," Kaivan commanded Noah, who was sitting calmly in front of him.Asked in this way, instead of immediately speaking, the handsome man remained still. He fell silent for a moment, as if deep in thought. He was unsure where to start in describing the series of events he and Anne had experienced s
Kaivan occasionally peeked out from behind the window at the vast expanse of clouds as he was on an airplane. This evening, he, Hans, Dominique, and several members of the special forces who were intentionally brought along to confront Luca, set off for the man's home country. After hours in the air and two airport transfers, they finally set foot in Catania, Italy, at night. Before commencing the battle, Kaivan needed to meet with the scattered members of the Witch Hunter group there. He had to fine-tune the entire strategy that had been devised to penetrate the defenses of Italy's number one mafia."Welcome, Mr. Kaivan. We've been waiting for all of you," greeted a large-bodied man who was none other than Xavier, one of the leaders of the Witch Hunter clan."Good to see you again, Xavier. How's Theodore?" he asked. Kaivan remembered the founder of the Witch Hunter Clan. Thanks to him, Theodore's life had been saved from danger in the past.
Kaivan was ready, equipped with everything he needed for the attack. Alongside Hans and Xavier, he was prepared to depart for the ambush location.After seeing Dominique off to Catania, it was Kaivan's turn to rev up the motorcycle he was riding. They penetrated the wild forest to quickly reach the Sicilian headquarters.Kaivan could feel the bone-chilling cold of the night piercing his skin. When people should have been sound asleep, he struggled to navigate the rugged terrain, ensuring the motorcycle he rode could maintain a steady pace until they finally reached the stopping point.Xavier, leading the group, gradually slowed the pace of his motorcycle. Methodically, he shut off the engine. He signaled to park their motorcycles amidst the bushes within the forest. They all proceeded to move slowly, following Xavier and his subordinates until the Sicilian headquarters came into view from a distance.
