"Stop!" said Max (the rich man), hastening his steps and rushing to them to stop Samuel and the security guard from expelling Aiden and Ariana from the company. Max fixed his eyes on Aiden with a guilty look. Then he glanced at the girl next to Aiden, which made him wish he had come sooner so that such a mess could be avoided. Aiden let go of the security guard's hand holding Arianna's wrist to drive them away. Catching Max is like a guarantee for him to stay calm. "Are you okay?" Aiden checked Ariana's condition first. Ariana gripped his wrist stiffly. Her innocent face showed that she wasn't in a comfortable position after what she had been exposed to earlier. "I'm fine," Ariana said. But the girl made up that lie in front of Aiden, even though it didn't feel necessary because Aiden could easily read the look on her face. Aiden smiled; he felt better believing the girl's words without arguing with her. "Who gave you the order to treat them so harshly?" Max faced the two rough

Coming out of the airport, the look on Stella's face showed her mood very clearly. She walked up to the car that picked her up with a stern and cold look. It all happened because he, who had intended to stay for fun, was forced to return, annoyed, because of her father's plan."Welcome again, Miss!" A man dressed in all black neatly greeted her. Immediately, he took over the suitcase that Stella was carrying.Stella walked over without taking a glance at him as she let go of the grip on her trunk."What's changed about this place?" asked Stella, who immediately sat in the passenger seat as soon as the car door was opened for her.The man who had been sitting in the driver's seat looked in the rearview mirror with a crooked smile."Everything is still the same as when you left the last time," he said, having known Stella for a long time.Stella stared out of her window in embarrassment. She had absolutely no interest in coming back. But her father's decision to involve her made her d

"What makes you come here?" Aiden approached James (one of Aiden's underlings), who contacted him by phone and asked to meet.They met in a fairly crowded place. It is a small harbor that many local people visit to just sit and watch the sea or hang out with their families and friends. Such a small tourist spot wouldn't look suspicious.Aiden sat on a park bench. He brought a packet of bird food that he bought from a small seller in the corner of the place.He planned to feed the birds, which would also liven up the place. Aiden's watching them worrylessly fight over food cheered him quite a bit.James saw what Aiden was doing. He saw that his boss's behavior was getting weirder.For someone like him, he should do things that are far from simple, but that time he found Aiden with his very, very simple appearance. Compared to the person whom he was targeting, he looked more like an innocent man from a small village."You shouldn't be doing this here," James said.Aiden held his gaze at

"How could you do this, father?" Stella couldn't control herself to just keep silent anymore.She was in deep rage after hearing that Aiden got the most of the shares. "It's unfair!"Lord Orsic smiled in secret. He knew that Stella was against his announcement."Who is that man that you will give the most of the shares!" Cole also didn't keep his silence. "For all people, why it has to be him?""Whatever you will say, it's my decision to be done!" Lord Orsic's voice roared in the whole villa that made everyone shut their mouth."Are you questioning my decision, Cole?""It's not like that, Father," Cole was controlling himself to be calmed and not talk back to his father as a respect."We are your sons and daughters, is it hard for you to give the most of the shares to us?""So you're questioning me?" Lord Orsic said stiffly."Can you please just listen to me, Father?" Cole's voice sounded like pleading.He would do everything just to make sure that Aiden would not have all the shares

" What?!" Stella barked and clenched her fists tightly, till the extent her knuckles turned white... She was still on a call with Cole. " Yes!" Cole nodded with clenched jaws. He was very mad at this moment! Stella didn't say anything and just kept quiet. She seemed to be thinking about something. " Stella?" Cole called her, when he heard no response from her. " Don't worry dear brother." Stella curled her lips up from the other side. " We still have the upper hand." Her voice was now calm but sounded sinister. Cole finally relaxed himself, and thought his sister was very quick witted! " Good!" After Stella hung up, she called the manger of the company immediately. She wanted to get rid of Aiden, so the shares could become hers and Cole only. Aiden was an eyesore to her, and even the forced marriage was still vexatious to her! " Miss Stella," the manager called out to her, once he got to Stella's office. Stella's thought was interrupted, but since it was because
