“Yes, it’s all in here.” Hunter handed over a big envelope to Casper as soon as they entered his office together. His voice was hoarse from fatigue, as he suppressed the urge to give in to a nudging yawn. There were dark circles under his eyes and he looked slightly disheveled in his jeans and t-shirt. Since he was a shadow bodyguard, he didn’t dress in a suit like the others. Before Casper opened the document, his desktop phone rang. He beckoned Hunter to sit while he answered it.“Mr Blade, Grandpa’s seventieth Birthday is in a month. Should I announce a grand event?” The HR manager asked politely. It used to be an annual event but since Grandpa had retired, Casper needed to give her affirmation. Casper wasn’t completely heartless. Paving the way for the great was a way of paving the way for his own greatness. After all, it was also the opportunity for more business collaborations because grandpa was connected. Casper was now building his network while acquainting himself with the

Casper had created a wonderful excuse to not meet with the Wreaths but he had time during the weekday to go shopping with that unfortunate girl. Grandpa had already connected the dots. That girl was messing with his grandson's mind and it was high time he stepped in to put him back on track. The person on the other side of the line was greatly startled. This wasn’t the right process. The two parties had to meet at least once to agree on the date of the engagement and the wedding. As the mother of the soon-to-be bride, she was a little hesitant about grandpa’s plan."I hope you have informed your grandson. He is the main character of the marriage. My daughter has been ready for four years now." By eighteen, the eldest daughter of the Wreaths was deemed ready for marriage but Casper was still undergoing training. Now, she was twenty-two."Leave my grandson to me. His marriage is my responsibility. Unless he wants to cut ties with the Blades, he has no right to refuse." This was grandpa’

A week passed. Eve and Drake were still undergoing trial in court. Anna sought Casper's help to engage top officials to increase their prison terms. Hunter returned just a day before the departure to Italy, to prepare for the nine hours flight scheduled for Wednesday evening. With good planning, they could rest in the morning before the event began on Thursday evening. Hunter was exhausted because this investigation was more difficult than he thought. He couldn't find out much and rather brought back a mystery to be solved. Not knowing how Casper was going to take it, he became anxious."Mr Blade, I couldn't find out anything, I'm sorry." He lowered his head in front of Casper, who was sitting in front of him with an impassive expression."I trusted you." Disappointment laced his cold voice. Having something on grandpa, it would have been great for him to have something on the Wreaths too, which he could use to suppress their decision for him to go ahead with the marriage. This was

Casper arrived at the underground car park with Jenna. It seemed quiet when they made their way to the car given him by the Godfathers. There were lots of cars but just a few people around, who were making their way to the elevator, most probably to where Casper was coming out from. Three people in black, masked, came out from the direction of the stairs. Jenna didn't notice but Casper's attentive and sensitive senses caught them when they reached the car. He quickly shoved Jenna inside without explanation, startling her and making her convinced that Casper was acting weird. He saw the three men enter a car together, as his suspicious antennas activated. These men were either going to commit a crime or they were after him. He didn't drive off immediately but leaned against the passenger door where Jenna sat with unease. Five minutes passed and the masked men hadn't moved their car. Casper had confirmed that they were after him. If not, they would have driven out already. Just as he

Caleb had to think fast. He knew nothing about love and relationships. If he told Hunter that he lied, the raging man would fight him until somebody died, which would be another problem because if he killed Hunter, he would be in trouble with Casper and was certain that Hunter wouldn't match up to his level in a fight. Hunter was intelligent and strong but there is always somebody stronger than the other.“Thanks for giving me the chance. I’ll pursue her and make her fall in love with me.” Caleb was careful enough to not mention that he was in love with her this time. That way, he would have a means of escape. Thus, If Peggy didn't fall in love with him, then he was free. That was Caleb’s plan. But what if she fell in love with him? Judging from how the girl was crazy about Hunter, it was impossible. Hunter was satisfied that Caleb kept his word.“Good, and remember, I have never shared with anyone what I just shared with you.” There was a stern warning in his tone. He just gave his p
