{OUTSIDE DEATH EMPIRE, A FANCY HOTEL, }
Lily rose led Xavier to an opulent hotel, one of his own properties. "I thought we were having dinner," Xavier said, intrigued.
"We are," Lily rose replied, her eyes sparkling. "In a special way."
" Oh really, well, This is going to be exciting" Xavier's mind wandered to intimate possibilities, but Lily rose had other plans.
She guided him to a darkened hall, and Xavier's curiosity grew. "What kind of surprise requires darkness?"
Lily rose smiled mischievously. "You'll see."
With a flick of her wrist, the lights burst on, and a chorus of "Happy Birthday, Xavier!" filled the air.
Before him lay a lavish birthday party. Dragon designs and intricate Chinese patterns adorned the walls. Silver and gold decorations shimmered under the light.
Xavier's and Lily Rose's loved ones surrounded him: Madam Hope, Kylie, Aeon, Daggers, Hazel, Grayson, Ronnie Anne, Lotus Rose. His subordinates and close associates mingled, smiling.
Touched by Lily rose's effort, Xavier's eyes welled with gratitude. He hugged her tightly. "Thank you, Lily rose. This means everything."
Lily rose beamed, happiness radiating from her. Yet, a hint of sadness lingered, hidden behind her joy.
"Come on, it's your day," she said, her voice trembling. "Enjoy yourself."
Xavier's gaze never left hers, his heart overflowing with appreciation.
As they celebrated, Xavier knew this birthday would forever hold a special place in his heart, thanks to Lily rose's thoughtfulnes.
Xavier's birthday party was in full swing. Laughter, music, and dancing filled the air. Couple games and festivities had everyone enthralled.
Suddenly, the lights flickered and died. The room plunged into darkness.
When it was midnight. the lights flickered back on, Lily rose was gone. Vanished.
Panic set in. Guests frantically searched for her.
"Where's Lily rose?" Xavier demanded, his voice laced with worry.
Before anyone could answer, a chilling voice echoed through the room."Happy birthday, Xavier."
Brian, Xavier's arch-nemesis, stepped forward, flanked by his brother, Raymond, and a cohort of menacing men.
Lily rose's disappearance was no surprise – Vienna, lily Rose's maid turned rogue, had masterminded her kidnapping.
Brian sneered, "don't worry about her, my sister is with her but first We'll give you the best birthday party ever."
Chaos erupted. Fighting broke out as Xavier's loyal subordinates clashed with Brian's henchmen.
Xavier charged at Brian, fists flying. Brian dodged, but Xavier's swift jab connected with his jaw.
Brian stumbled back, then launched a powerful kick. Xavier blocked it with his forearm, countering with a swift uppercut.
Brian's head snapped back, but he recovered quickly. He landed a solid punch to Xavier's gut, followed by a rapid combination of blows.
Xavier stumbled, gasping for air. Brian seized the opportunity, unleashing a flurry of kicks and punches.
Xavier struggled to defend himself, but Brian's attacks intensified. A vicious kick sent Xavier crashing to the floor.
As Brian raised his foot for the finishing blow, Xavier rolled away, narrowly avoiding the strike. He sprang to his feet, determination burning in his eyes.
