2:00 a.m., Elite Sapphire Penthouse ; "Hey! You're home early?", Xi Yuan pecked the girl on her forehead as she tiredly hung her head backward, "Busy day, huh?" "You have no idea.", the girl sighed, pulling her gloves off of her hands, "I see that we have company tonight." "I am so sorry. Wei has been missing your sister since she left for her 'Atrial fibrillation' conference in Sydney.", the man explained, as he looked at his brother gulping down a big bowl of peanuts and popcorn while he watched some…

10:00 p.m., Elite Sapphire Penthouse ; Xi Yuan stepped down his car and reached towards the main entrance as usual, clearly uninformed that someone was already waiting for him there. "Yuan.", the feminine voice resonated through the empty air right when the man was about to unlock the door. Pinching the space between his brows, Xi Yuan turned around and took in the sight of the drunk woman lying leisurely on the cold bench, "Miss Huang.", he acknowledged. What the hell was this woman up to now? Hadn't…

7:00 a.m., Military Chief Office ; With a tiring groan, Rong Yufan struggled to open and adjust his eyes to the bright lights around him. He was still in the godforsaken interrogation room. Shawn Florence wasn't there anymore. Neither was David Florence or Elijah Williams. Just one person. A person whom he would recognize even in the sleep, or from the beyond. A person who'd faced death, because of him. A person who had been his formidable enemy, ever since the moment she had breathed her first. "Hello…

"How did the Six tigers trusted you with them for thirteen years exactly?", Xi Yuan questioned, his fingers still running over the 'once-lethal' wound lightly, "Last time I checked, they were ready to rip my throat out just because you'd fainted in an accident caused by my assistant." "Oh! They'd unleashed hellfire upon the Rong family every time I would be hurt or harmed or ill-treated.", Rong Xinghe giggled, "You can say, I admired their rage just as much as I appreciated their love for me. One could…

"Yuan, I've never seen my mother. So I don't know anything about being a mother.", Rong Xinghe explained, "Sometimes, I just wish she was here to tell me all about it. When Xiao and I were small, we had to google about menstruation, because our mother wasn't there to tell us about it. We missed her so, so damn much when we were living at the Rong family mansion. "I just don't want to miss any part of this. The entire motherhood thing. I want to enjoy those nine months. I want to get extra-doting from you…

Xi Corporations Headquarters, 4:00 p.m. ; "Keep him unconscious until I return, Elijah.", Rong Xinghe commanded, flipping the pages of the file in front of her casually, "I will personally interrogate him. Alright?" "Got it.", Elijah replied, looking at the insentient Rong Yufan through the glass window, "By the way, what do you want me to do with the furious clowns outside?" "You mean, the Rong family elders?", the girl let out a soft laugh, "Oh, Elijah. How I've missed your sarcasm!" "Why, thank…

Rong Family Mansion, 2:00 p.m. ; "Where is Mr. Rong, Sir?", Shawn Florence questioned Rong Quiang calmly. He and his brother, David Florence, had been ordered to apprehend the man early this morning. Of course, the warrant had been issued by the Military Chief herself, however, the Hybrids would never disclose her identity to the family. "It is not anything serious. The Military means no harm to him. We simply wish to ask him a few simple questions." "What does that bitch wants with our son?!", Rong…

Next Morning, 9:00 a.m. ; Afghanistan, Kabul Serena Hotel : "Are you sure you'll be able to pull this up?", Jackson asked, searching for a beer can in the mini-fridge, "We can't let Aftaab Ali suspect anything. He is the only person who has ever seen Ahmed Ali Fadhil." "I am sure.", Abram Orlov nodded, looking at his reflection in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, buttoning up his fancy somber Italian Navy Blue suit, "I won't have any trouble putting on a pretense of a Businessman, considering I have a…

11:30 p.m., Elite Diamond Penthouse ; The Xi trio left the girl's place to their brother and sister-in-law shortly after they were done with dinner. They knew how crucial every second was for them. They knew that Rong Xinghe wouldn't be able to accompany their brother for the next few days. Months, even. So the least they could do was leave them alone. They, more than anyone, deserved some peace before they put on the armor for the battle, which was, soon to come. "Are you sure you want to kill him?…

11:30 a.m., Military Chief Office ; "So you want to keep just four Hybrids by your side. Are you crazy ?", David Florence looked at the girl in front of him with disbelief, "Rong Xinghe, you need the damned security. And after what happened at your engagement party, Hybrids are not going to leaving you with general soldiers. They won't be able to protect you. "Why would you even want to shoo us away from you now that you need us the most?!" "I am not shooing you guys away. I am assigning missions to…
