Arabella brought those cufflinks for Max as a birthday gift for him..

On the day of Max's birthday..

In the Lombardy mansion..

In Max's room ..

Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)

(rude tone) Is it important to invite that annoying Fortes..?

Marco Lombardy (ML's cousin)

(laying on the sofa) I don't get it how that Forte family has brainwashed Grandpa.

Marco Lombardy (ML's cousin)

(smirks) 😏Bro, why don't you take some actions against that Fortes to teach them a lesson so they can remember till their lifetime..?

Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)

(smirks) Yes, brother... Show them their real place so that they will think twice before coming in front of us, the Lombardies.. (proudly)

Maximilian Lombardy (past)

(fixing up his clothes)

Maximilian Lombardy (past)

(cold dominant voice) ❄️❄️Just wait for five years, my dear cousins.. I will deal with the Fortes within these five years and destroy them without leaving any trace of them in this whole country.. (devilish grin)

Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)

(gulps in fear) B..bro, what are you going to do..?

Maximilian Lombardy (past)

(smirks evilly ) ❄️❄️That you can watch it later, dear Isla..

Marco Lombardy (ML's cousin)

😅Bro, a..are you really thinking straight or joking..?

Maximilian Lombardy (past)

(deep cold voice) ❄️❄️You clearly know, Marco, that I NEVER JOKE..

Marco Lombardy (ML's cousin)

😓*Yup, that's true...*

Maximilian Lombardy (past)

(deep cold voice with disdain) ❄️❄️ And as for that bìtçĥ, I will show her the consequences of messing up my life...

Maximilian Lombardy (past)

(looks himself in the mirror, fixing up his hair) ❄️❄️For now.. Let her enjoy her life.. Slowly, slowly, I will crumble her into pieces..

Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)

(gulps seeing Max behaviour) * Is bro really serious..? *

Marco Lombardy (ML's cousin)

(got up from the couch) Well, it will be fascinating to see the show..

Marco Lombardy (ML's cousin)

(pats on Max's shoulder) Let's go, birthday boy...

Maximilian Lombardy (past)

(nod) ❄️Hm.. let's go..

Marco, Isla, and Maximilian head towards the hall where his birthday party was organised..

In the hall..

It was a small party organised with some of Lombardy's family and friends...

Max didn't want any grand party for now, so his parents just organised a small party..

Abraham Lombardy (ML's grandfather)

Where are they...? (searching for the Forte family)

Lysandra Lombardy (ML's mom)

Whom are you waiting for, dad...?

Abraham Lombardy (ML's grandfather)

Fortes didn't arrive yet.. Let's wait just for 10 minutes...

Maximilian Lombardy (past)

Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)

Alfonso Forte (FL's uncle)

Emilia is busy with her work, and Cedric is having his exams tomorrow, and Silvia has her work to complete... So they wouldn't be able to come...

Marco Lombardy (ML's cousin)

(scoff) I think even our servant will hesitate to wear this thing..(smirks)

Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)

Arabella Forte (past)

(smile fades away )

Maximilian Lombardy (past)

(takes the cufflink from Marco and keeps it in the box)

Maximilian Lombardy (past)

❄️❄️ Thanks... but I don't wear cufflinks..( gives her back)

Arabella Forte (past)

🙂You.. you can just keep it with you... There's no need to return back... You can use it in the future ...

Maximilian Lombardy (past)

❄️❄️ I don't keep the things with me that are not needed in my life... It's troublesome.. (shoves that cufflink box to Bella)

Maximilian Lombardy (past)

(goes away)

Arabella Forte (past)

(heart hurts 💔)

Arabella Forte (past)

(looks at the cufflink box) * I thought he would be happy..* (bitter smile)

It was time for Max to cut the cake .

He cut the cake and fed his family members..

Abraham Lombardy (ML's grandfather)

Abraham Lombardy (ML's grandfather)

* This boy 💢💢.. I'm feeling to strangle him with my own hands..*

Lysandra Lombardy (ML's mom)

Maximilian Lombardy (past)

❄️Mom.. you too..?

Lysandra Lombardy (ML's mom)

There are so many people here.. You shouldn't have refused it by embarrassing her in front of these many people..

Maximilian Lombardy (past)

* I will crush her dignity and pride step by step..* (smirks evilly)
