Looking at the panel and going through all the notifications, Mikael was very happy.
His personal net worth was only 500 Million Draks in the morning, but now, with 900 Million in cash, and a Mansion worth 120 Million, his total Net Worth amounted to 1.52 Billion Draks.
Being rich was awesome, and being more rich was even better.
He was very happy with the Special Skill that he received, which was going to prove very helpful in his plans.
"Start the Roulette." He expectantly asked the System, hoping that he would receive some good Skill Mastery, preferably related to combat, and as he heard the ticking sound, which started slowing down, making the columns blink in lights, his heart raced.
Finally, he heard a ding in his mind and soon received a System Notification.
{Congratulations Host, you have received the Skill Mastery, Music Mastery. All skills related to Music have been upgraded to Expert Level, and all missing skills will soon be engraved in the Host's mind and body.}
As soon as he heard the System Notification, a piercing pain hit his mind, and he grabbed his head and screamed as streams of information flooded through him and his muscles developed new memories.
Mikael tried his best to hold back the screams, but he had no idea that Raeya, who was inside the dressing room right now, heard him.
She debated for a long time to check on him, and eventually, opened the door.
Her heart nearly stopped when she saw him sweating and bearing a pain she could not even imagine, and subconsciously, she walked towards him.
However, she soon saw him calm down a little and stopped by his bedside, waiting for him to open his eyes.
He seemed lost, still in pain, but he was feeling better now, and except for some trembling and the way he was panting, his body was slowly relaxing.
His blue eyes opened and met her green eyes, and widened in surprise.
"Rae..."
Before he could say anything to her, she turned around and left the room.
Mikael watched her leave and his heart ached a little, but then he just sighed and closed his eyes again, going through the knowledge that he had just acquired.
Quite tempted to pick up some random Musical Instrument, he decided to control his emotions and rest.
He was tired, very tired, and sleep soon pulled him in its arms.
In the other room, Klara watched her sister sitting at the study table, seemingly lost, and after staying quiet for nearly an hour, she could not help herself and spoke to her.
"You went to his room."
Raeya frowned at her words, and then glanced at her, meeting her eyes.
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I heard him screaming in pain and wanted to see what was going on."
"He was screaming in pain? What happened?"
"I don't know, but it looked like a migraine attack."
"And?" She raised her brow, wanting to know what she did.
"Nothing. I came back." Raeya said and then turned her eyes away, losing herself to her thoughts.
Klara kept looking at her for a while and then stood up to walk towards her.
As soon as she wrapped her arms around her from behind, Raeya's body trembled, and despite herself, another tear escaped her eyes.
"What do you want to do?" The younger Twin gently asked.
"I want to kill him!" She said, but then cried some more.
"You still love him, Rae."
"Shut up."
Klara did not push the matter and sighed in her heart, and then she smiled a little.
"Do you know now that Grandpa arranged a betrothal for me before I was even born?"
The sudden question froze her sister, who raised her head and looked at her in shock.
"What?"
"Yes." She ruefully smiled. "I overheard him speaking on a phone a week ago, and my fiance is supposed to coming to the city in the next few days. Grandpa intends to honour his promise."
"Why did you not tell me?!"
Klara sadly lowered her head, and then the two sisters remained silent for a long while.
"He's going to harm or kill Mikael." Raeya narrowed her eyes, aware of how decisive her Grandfather could be. "We can not get a divorce. I know him, he will never let us go." She gritted her teeth, angry at the clauses in the Prenuptial Agreement.
They both were forced to give up their rights to seek a divorce and even if the matter was pushed and taken to court, they could not file for it within the next year. It might even take longer than that as Mikael would fight back.
"Do you know who your Fiance is?"
"I don't have a Fiancé anymore. I am married." Klara meaningfully said, and she froze at those words. "And no, I don't know anything about my former 'Fiancé'."
"You plan to use Mikael as a shield."
"I don't plan on using him. He himself became my shield."
Seeing her sister dangerously narrow her eyes at her, Klara smiled a little.
"You still love him and can not tolerate the idea of sharing him, not even with me."
"Don't talk nonsense with me. I hate that man."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Okay then, don't tell Master and Senior Sisters about what happened. Let me keep this marriage. Let him remain as my shield. Please." She requested, and Raeya gave her a cold glare before she walked past her and went to bed. "Please?"
"Sleep." She said, and then pulled the comforter over her and closed her eyes.
In the morning, when they both woke and got dressed, they arrived downstairs and were greeted by Aunt Lu, who was Mikael's Nanny.
Two women in black suits, who were sitting in the lounge, stood up as well, and then respectfully greeted them with a bow.
They looked to be in their late thirties and were quite muscular, and thankfully, they were not among the guards who had kidnapped them yesterday.
"Where are our phones?" Raeya coldly asked the Old Nanny, who flinched under her eyes.
"Master left them at the dining table. Please sit, I will serve the breakfast." She said, and then her eyes widened as she remembered something. "Oh, yes. Master asked me to tell you not to switch them on before eating your breakfast."
"Hmph!" Raeya did not listen, and as soon as she arrived at the dining table, she picked up her phone and switched it on.
However, not even a minute had passed before she regretted it.
Dozens of missed calls from her mother, father, and brother, and then there were a few from her grandfather.
She did not dare to open the messages and slumped in her seat and grabbed her head.
Last night, she was only thinking about Mikael and how to get back at him for what he did to them, but now she realised that the bigger headache was dealing with her family.
How was she going to explain things to them?
Should she tell them the truth?
Subconsciously, she looked at her sister, who had just taken her seat adjacent to her and remembered her words from last night.
Raeya flinched when her phone suddenly started ringing, but when she looked at the Caller ID, she relaxed a little.
"Good morning, Mom!" She cheerfully greeted her mother, and as expected, there was a stunned silence on the other end after they heard her voice. "Mom?"
"Raeya, where are you?" Her mother asked with a trembling voice, and even though she knew that the phone was on a speaker, she treated it as if only her mother was listening.
"I am at Mikael's place." She giggled a little, emanating happiness through her voice, and Klara was impressed by her acting skills. "There's something I and Klara have been waiting to tell you about, so don't go to the office today. We will leave for home as soon as we finish the breakfast."
There was silence on the other end, but she could hear her mother taking deep breaths.
"Are you... okay?"
"Of course! Why?" She feigned some ignorance.
"Mikael?"
"He went out early as he had to deal with some important matters. Okay, I will call you back in a few minutes, I really need to eat."
"Wait!"
"Yes?"
"Where's Klara?" Her mother nervously asked.
"She's here..." She said and then offered the phone to her sister. "Talk to Mom, I want to eat."
Klara nervously accepted the phone and took a deep breath before greeting her mother.
"Good morning, Mom."
"Be honest with your mother, Child. Is everything okay?"
"Yes, Mom. Did you learn about our..." She sighed and stopped. "We will come home and explain things to you. Don't worry. We are fine, and we are happy."
"Klara..."
"Yes, Mom?"
"Come back soon." She was nearly on the verge of crying, and it almost broke their hearts.
"Okay. We are heading back right away." She promised as she ended the call, and then nervously looked at her sister, who was busy eating her meal. "How are we going to explain..."
"Mother and Father will understand. Uncle will take our side, but not Grandpa. We are likely going to get expelled from the family. So, be prepared for it." Raeya spoke as if it was not anything big, and Klara sighed at the stark contrast in her personality from yesterday.
Who was the nervous one now?
When they arrived outside, they found Marla and Sarah waiting for them next to a Maybach, and there was a black SUV behind the car, inside which some gifts were placed.
Upon a closer look, the backseats were filled with gifts as well.
"Master arranged for them, but he instructed us to follow your call regarding them." Marla, who was taller than her colleague, told them, and the twins looked into each other's eyes and sighed in their hearts.
"We will take them to the Albonn Manor," Klara told her new bodyguard, who immediately informed the driver in the SUV to follow them.
And just like that the two vehicles left the Villa.
