“Working late?” Victoria asked as she ducked her head into Millicent’s office. Millicent looked up from the file she had been staring at nonstop without making a head of it since she got back to the office. Her face became passive when she saw that it was Victoria. “What do you want?” she asked. “I am sure someone elsewhere can get it done for you,” she said. “Ouch, that hurts, Mrs Monroe,” Victoria said as she came into the office fully. “In case the handwriting was not clear enough on the wall, that is my subtle way of saying you are not welcome in my office. I am sure you do not have an appointment with me” Millicent said baldly. “Well, double ouch. But since I have a thick skin as you have noticed, I would simply ignore that and lend my very cooperative ear since you look like you could talk to someone right now” Millicent scoffed as she leaned back in her chair “And what makes you think I will talk to someone like you?” “Well, maybe because I know that you don’t really have

“Oh, you know I am right, Liam" Victoria said, pleased by his reaction. She continued."You hate your cousin even as you fawn over him and sell him this cock and bull story of needing a hands-on experience of how to run a company. You can’t help but wish he would just fall over and die one day. Well, actually, I am sure that you wouldn’t mind ensuring that happen. And yes, you wish his tasty, little wife is that waitress in that tight, little dress so ready to be at your beck once you call. I know you know that I am right, Liam. The question is, will you admit it?” Liam shook his head as he gave her an intense look. “And I think classy ladies don’t have the crazies. Well, I am clearly wrong” “Oh, I see that you are taking the denial route. That is cool too, you know. Although, what will not be cool is if your dear cousin knows that there are a few details about Hongkong that you are leaving out of the equation. I wonder what a powerful man like Jason can do to you when he realised t

Jason hated the fact that something that should be so simple and carefree in children’s life as a birthday had to be clouded by the veil of a threat that he still couldn’t figure out. Although he ensured that his observant kids and their friends couldn’t detect that anything was different, he ensured that Heinrich’s manor was heavily guarded during the birthday celebration. From the gate that lead to the massive land on which the house rested to the person serving the fruit punch, Jason had his people everywhere. That was the only condition he had given to Heinrich if he still wanted his grandchildren to celebrate their birthday at his place. They were both in agreement that the children’s safety was paramount since none of them still had no idea of what psycho Aria meant by sending those bows. Jason immediately got the bows replaced for his daughter with the exact colour and shapes, then his men shredded every single bow just to see if Aria was playing a sick game by putting somethi

“What do you want?” Millicent asked the moment the door closed behind Liam. Jason did not bother to hide his displeasure at her countenance as he said “That is no way to talk to your husband, is it?” Millicent gave him a daring look and scoffed before making a move to sidestep him as she said “I don't have time for this” “Really? You don’t have time for me? But do you have time for my cousin? You had enough time to blush like a schoolgirl and laugh with my cousin yet you wouldn’t even give your own husband the time of the day” Millicent looked at him in surprise and said “That would mean that you believed that you deserved my time. It is my time, in case you need a reminder. My time and I will use it the way I damn see fit!” she snapped at him. “What the hell is this all about, by the way?” Jason asked in exasperation. “One moment we were good and the next you are acting up” “I…am acting up? I am the one acting up? You've got one hell of a nerve pinning that on me when you are t

Jason's intention to call Heinrich in the morning was put on pause when he got a call from his doctor that he was called during the night about Heinrich's failing health."Failing health? Since when did Heinrich have failing health? " Jason thought in astonishment as he drove to the manor the following day with Millicent by his side. He had intended to go there alone without informing anyone yet since he had no idea of the extent of Heinrich's sickness but she was wide awake by the time he got back to the room and he could see that she had heard the conversation he had with the doctor."Heinrich? What is wrong with him?" she asked immediately as she left the bed and came to meet him in the middle of the room."I don't know yet. They are running tests on him. It might be nothing serious. Maybe indigestion" he said with a shrug, just so she wouldn't worry."You won't look like that if it is nothing serious," Millicent said. "What exactly did the doctor say?"He thought of just avoiding
