Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Quincey walked into the living room. “Where’s your Master?” he asked without seeing Nathan.

“Master’s in the kitchen, cooking,” Zinnia answered as she walked alongside Quincey.

Zinnia pursed her lips. “Quincey, I can’t shake the feeling that Master is keeping something from me. Do you know what’s going on with him? How were you two while you were abroad?”

‘Something just seemed off about Nathan. I was certain that Nathan was hiding secrets. But I knew that unless he decided to open up, no matter how hard I racked her brains, I would never figure it out, Zinnia thought.

“Nothing really happened. We were fine abroad, just taught those Moore family punks a lesson, that’s all. Maybe your Master’s just been a bit tired lately. He just doesn’t want you to worry, it’s really nothing.

Quincey chuckled softly. “Zinnia, go watch TV. I’ll help your Master with dinner. It’s been ages since I had his cooking. I kind of miss it.”

Seeing the TV was on in the living room, Quincey steered Zinnia to the sofa, then darted into the kitchen and shut the door tightly behind him.

Quincey moved so fast that before Zinnia could react, the kitchen door was already closed, completely blocking her view.

Quincey, a former mercenary, was found injured and amnesic by Zinnia and Nathan when Zinnia was five. Zinnia, kind–hearted even as a child, begged Nathan to save Quincey. After recovering, Quincey began following them and never left.

Quincey stayed with them for a year and chose to remain even after Nathan cured his amnesia. They’ve known each other for over a decade and share a deep bond. In Zinnia’s heart, Quincey is like another elder brother.

Both Nathan and Quincey were always there as Zinnia grew up. Quincey was always elusive, sometimes he’d disappear for months, and once, even half a year would go by without a trace of him.

Nathan always said he’d sent Quincey off to handle some business for him. Zinnia never pried. ‘Now it makes sense, they must have been plotting revenge all along,‘ Zinnia thought.

“Nathan.” Quincey called out. Seeing Nathan leaning weakly against the wall, struggling to catch his breath, Quincey rushed over and quickly pulled out the medicine he’d brought, handing it to Nathan.

Nathan swallowed the pills without protesting. His slender figure leaned against the kitchen counter. His face was deathly pale, and faint red veins were creeping into the whites of his eyes.

“What’s the point?” Quincey sighed. “You’re using drugs to suppress your condition just to appear normal. It’s exhausting your energy. Once you stop, the rebound will be worse. You’re pushing your body to its limits.”
