Beatrice let out a soft groan. Her body felt sore in almost every part. She couldn't tell what time it was, and she felt reluctant to open her eyes. If it weren't for the sunlight disturbing her, she would prefer to keep them closed.
Throughout the day, Sam hadn't allowed Beatrice to even open a window and enjoy the breeze outside. Because of this, Beatrice was determined that if Sam wanted it again, she would firmly refuse.
Her body needed some refreshment.
"Hey," she called out while pulling the blanket slightly to cover the upper part of her body.
The call made the man turn and chuckle. "Why cover up like that? I've seen enough."
Beatrice furrowed her brow. Her eyes focused on Sam, who appeared to be wearing a shirt.
"Where are you going?"
"I have some business," Sam replied, briefly grinning. "Help me, will you?"
Beatrice's forehead creased. "Help with what?"
Sam chose to approach the girl still sitting on the edge o

The woman walked with such grace. Her eyes occasionally scanned her surroundings, accompanied by a subtle, teasing smile. No one dared to gaze at her for too long. They all knew that this woman had come by special request.Her fiery red dress hugged her body perfectly. The plunging neckline revealed a tantalizing glimpse of something hidden, shy yet mysterious. Her wavy hair was adorned with a beautiful pearl-studded clip on the right side, exposing part of her long, slender neck. A rose pendant necklace hung there, matching the color of her dress—red."Welcome, Miss," greeted one of the door guards, who had just briefly crossed paths with her gaze.The guard had been warned not to admire her, even for a moment, as this woman was dangerous. Not dangerous in terms of destroying something, but dangerous in the sense that she could make the onlooker weak in the knees."Am I late?" she asked, still with that provocative smile.Her lower lip was s

The arrival of Sam's car at the headquarters was met with some urgency by the elite forces stationed there. They made sure nothing was left behind from the twelve cars that began entering the vast courtyard one by one, unloading their cargo. Sam immediately got out of the car, followed by Hugo and Eland."Report, Boss!" One of Sam's elite soldiers quickly approached him, walking with slightly hurried steps to keep up with Sam, who seemed eager to keep his pace. "Everything you asked for, from expanding the perimeter, positioning forces to block around the edge of the forest, tight security, and installing the grenade launchers, has been done according to your wishes."Sam simply nodded."The weapons supply you requested was also sent by Ferdi yesterday.""Good," Sam said curtly.The main door of his large house was opened by his subordinates. Hugo, as usual, trailed behind with a phone in his hand. His eyes were focused on what was happening there.

Eland wiped the corner of his slightly injured lip, also noticing the scratch on his right arm. It wasn't much, but Eland detested anything that harmed his body. The sword remained steadfast in his hands, stained with blood. A thin grin appeared as his opponent approached once again."Well, it seems you can still stand," Eland laughed.Ever since Sam was escorted by Herry and Jimmy Lee, who looked down on all of them, Eland and Hugo had not let their guard down. They knew that once Sam entered the police-escorted convoy, no one was allowed to leave the stronghold.Herry and his desire to destroy Sam had been evident in his gaze for a long time.Would they let it go?Oh... certainly not!Although their leader was forced to leave the stronghold, his loyal followers had prepared for the worst. They would not remain idle. Just like now. A gunshot aimed at Eland moments after the convoy with Sam inside indicated that the inevitable clash between

The vehicle carrying the leader moved at lightning speed. Sam was flanked by two fully armed police officers, one of whom was Ferdi. He entered without much resistance, complying with what Ferdi instructed him to do. Although he had a strong urge to punch Herry in the face for ordering the arrest of all of Sam's subordinates without hesitation.That's just not right!All of Herry's forces are looking for trouble! Sam made sure of that. He didn't need to boast much; he simply played along with the game. Somehow, he felt confident, especially since Jimmy Lee's unexpected arrival earlier, which disrupted their plans.Sam remained undaunted. He was accustomed to facing multiple enemies in a single attack. His expertise in martial arts, firearm handling, not to mention his excellent physical condition, wouldn't easily be overcome.In fact, he felt relieved that finally, every part of his body could move at his will.Herry and Jimmy Lee followed in separ

Beatrice no longer knew what her heart felt like. At that moment, she was killing boredom that had struck her. Despite only knowing bits and pieces of Sam's news, she couldn't find peace since last night. Even though Hera kept her company and they chatted until her friend fell asleep, Beatrice remained worried. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Sam and many strange assumptions swirling around in her head.She had only one request to God: protect Sam. She didn't know why she did this. Don't ask her why she was willing to include Sam's name in her prayers. Don't ask either why her heart was in turmoil just because he hadn't returned yet.Although Valdo and Yongki had mentioned that their boss was fine, Beatrice trusted her instincts more. Something dangerous must have happened around Sam. The proof was that even until now, Ute and Anne hadn't returned. The room that served as the control center where Anne usually stayed only left four people who rarely left it. The door was tightly c

It had been two days since Beatrice hadn't moved from Sam's side. Occasionally, she was accompanied by Ute and Anne. Sometimes Hera and her mother came to visit. But Sam still hadn't woken up. The doctors and nurses said that all his vital organs were in good condition and there was no life-threatening situation. There was nothing to worry about.Ute and Anne were also in agreement, not wanting to discuss what had actually happened. Neither with each other nor with Sam's other subordinates. This actually infuriated Beatrice and made her curious why such an important matter had to be concealed.But then she realized, was it because she was just an outsider in Sam's life that no one wanted to share with her? Who was Beatrice, anyway? Just a substitute for her father's debts, whose whereabouts were now unclear. If only her despicable father had lived a straight path like a toll road, Beatrice wouldn't have ended up here. She might still be in her small, simple room, filled with memories

"Are you still in pain?" Beatrice asked while observing Sam, who had been closing his eyes. "If you're still in pain, why aren't you taking your pain medication?" In reality, Beatrice wanted to be angry because this man seemed to care very little about his health.After all, he wasn't allowed to go home yet. There were still many examinations, especially on his hands and feet. But Sam ignored the doctor's advice. Instead, he caused trouble for the hospital with his actions. Jack and Hugo were also made frantic, especially. The two of them were at a loss because Sam insisted on leaving his hospital room.The reason? He was bored."Don't make noise," Sam warned. His eyes were closed not because he was enduring the pain that struck his chest. That wound was only a fraction of the pain he had ever felt. His body was accustomed to much more severe pain than that night.He was so close to crushing Gerald. The man was already severely injured from the blows of the wooden beam Sam used to ven

David hurriedly walked. Alfred's command to search for data on a strange girl encountered obstacles. The network that Alfred had was extensive. Finding out someone's background was not difficult for David to do. However, one thing made David think hard, clenching his fist tightly as he held the findings he had obtained."Sir," he called out immediately upon entering his boss's workspace."What is it?" Alfred asked calmly. He slowly placed the coffee cup he was enjoying down. The gentle breeze accompanying him this afternoon gently tousled his already graying hair."Please sit, David." Alfred motioned for his assistant to approach. "You seem so stiff while working. Enjoy it while you can relax.""I can't just relax, sir."Alfred chuckled. "Those were supposed to be my words." He leaned back comfortably. "What brought you here in such a hurry? Wasn't I asking you to meet Sam?""Sam is not at his headquarters."Alfred furrowed his brow. "So? What about the information I gave you?""I ent
