“Where are you taking me to?” He closed her door and went over to the driver's seat, he entered the car and started the engine immediately.“You will see when we get there.” He said.“We should at least start planning our wedding and maybe, sign the marriage certificate.” She rambled with words anxiously.“One at a time, Nina.” He smiled, adding more pressure to the throttle which sped up the ride.She sighed heavily and relaxed on the chair.This wasn’t how gloomy or desperate her life was but something happened, something triggered her, and she had to act the way she acted to get the right one.Some would say she is a heiress in disguise but it’s different. She closed her eyes briefly, feeling relieved that she had accomplished her mission.Maximus curbed the car in the SPA garage and unlocked the door, as they stepped down, her eyes wandered around the area with a look of admiration in her eyes.“This is lovely.” She gasped, facing him.“I have never been here in my life before.” S
“Sir, I received an order from a certain company named TYS, they asked me to deliver this to you.” The delivery man said, handing him a brown box containing a laptop.“Thank you.” He said.“But, sir, our company tried to navigate where this TYS company is located but directed us to you.” The delivery man gave him a suspicious stare.“Do you work with such a company or have an affair with it?” The delivery man asked politely.“I think you are mistaken. I’m the CEO of Wayles Enterprises, maybe my secretary must have made a mistake or something.” He lied blatantly.He knew it was the system’s code name TYS and couldn’t disclose it to anyone.“Sure. Go ahead and sign the document.” The delivery man said, giving him a file and pen.The following morning, his new driver rode the neon blue SUV car as he sat in the back seat, putting on his earphones. Something had been bothering him and he wanted to know if was possible to go against the system’s order.“Hey TYS, can we talk?” He pretended a
“What? Are you serious?” Kaiden swallowed hard.“I wouldn’t have come here if I didn’t want it.” She paused.“And of course, we will sign a contract and legally register our marriage in court.” She added calmly.“Why should I believe you? We are total strangers and there is no way you can help me?” His eyes rolled from her head to her toe and he sighed.“You are just a weak lady.” He commented.“How about you watch what a weak lady can do?” She stared at him, temptingly curling her lips and he smiled.“If you are serious…” He took her hand. “How about meeting my parents first to conduct a proper, legal marriage.” He asked vividly.“Sure! I don’t have a problem with that.” She said with a wide smile. Kaiden arrived at the family house and met his parents already in conflict with each other.“Father. Mother.” Kaiden cleared his throat, trying to get their attention and also notify them that he was with a guest.“Who is she?” Martha fired at him impatiently.“Why didn’t you inform us bef
“Kaiden! Kaiden!” Mr. Wayles yelled in anger as he stepped out of his bedroom.He met Martha and Kaiden also watching the morning news that had triggered him.“[BREAKING NEWS: The young CEO of Max Tech Group, Maximus Prime had an accident which led him to the hospital. According to the doctors, he is in a critical state and his condition might lead to being crippled for life but the police offers are still investigating the hit-and-run driver…]”“Did that wife of yours have a hand in this?” Mr. Wayles fired at him in anger and he shook his head in disapproval.“It’s not up to a week since we got married, father, what can she possibly do?” Kaiden shook his head.“Besides, she wouldn’t get her hands dirty as pretty as she is.” He blushed at his statement and his mother rolled her eyes sarcastically.“Then, who did this?” Mr. Wayles bit his lips.“What about you? You were pinned on getting rid of him, what if it was done by one of your men?” Martha reminded him.“I didn’t give any of them
“You seem to have a good reputation. Twelve husbands, huh?” He smirked, feeling jealous as he nodded his head.“I can explain.” Nina laughed shortly.The waitress placed their orders on the table and left the suite.The table had steamed spiced steak and broccoli, with a bottle of red sweet wine which cost over ten million dollars.When Kaiden saw it, he tried to hide his amazement as he lowered his face.“I didn’t really marry anyone of them as I did to you. Some of them were fake promises while some only wanted my family wealth.” She rashly explained to him.“Family wealth? Who are you?” Out of curiosity, he asked.Was he trapped with a rich heiress? Or was he being conned into some fake marriage?“Didn’t you do your research after hearing about me? I mean, my name is Nina Winchester, there is always something to see.” She boasted and he laughed, shaking his head.“There are Winchesters everywhere and you aren’t the first. What makes you think I can find your name on the internet?” H
The defilibrator and the vital machines made sounds as Maximus struggled to open his eyes.He had been bedridden for three days and he was slowly getting his consciousness.He sighed in relief when his eyes opened and they rolled around the room until they stopped on a stranger.“Who are you?” His brows furrowed, staring at the stranger with anxiety permeating from his eyes.“Who am I? You called me.” The stranger shrugged, also looking confused.“Called you?” He scoffed slightly.“I was at the brink of death and after then, I can't remember what happened next. I'm afraid you are in the wrong room.” He said, trying to sit upright and the stranger rushd to his corner and supported him to sit on the bed.“Maximus Prime… I'm sorry but I was sent for you. You are now my master and I'm under you.” He said steadily.“This is crazy.” He cussed under his breath.“I don't know you, please leave, else I will alert the nurse. You are disturbing me.” He said, controlling his breathing.He wanted t
Three phones were placed on the table, and around the table were Martha, Mr. Wayles, and Kaiden sitting on the chair. Kaiden sat beside Nina since she was his “wife”.Delicious delicacies had been perfectly placed on the table with wine but they hadn’t been able to devour it since Nina had been on one call or the other.Mr. Wayles and his wife had asked Kaiden to tell his wife about the meeting they must hold with her. She had been procrastinating to meet with them but fortunately, she spared some time to meet them but since they got there, aside from pleasantries, they haven't been able to discuss anything.“Oh? I will ask my secretary to check on it again before doing the third delivery. Thank you very much.” It seemed like she was ending the call.The call ran into a beep and she exhaled heavily, facing her in-laws whose faces had been clouded in annoyance and impatience.“I’m sorry about…” She trailed off as the phone on the table started ringing.She squeezed her face in apology b
Camera light flashed on his face with reporters asking his questions as Myles created paths for him to enter the long jeep.He had just finished his interview with the exclusive firm he had chosen, though it didn’t end up the way he wanted but he had left questions and suspense in the heart of the views and interviewees.“Boss, are you okay?” Myles asked a few minutes after the driver had started the engine.“Not bad.” He grumbled.“Have you fixed the mansion locks as I told you?” He asked.“Yeah, I did.” Myles exhaled heavily.“So, what’s my schedule for the day? I know I already missed a few.” He said, staring at Myles slightly.“You have a meeting at Chester Hotel and Suite with one of the top clients that wants to invest in the group.” Myles meticulously informed him.“Oh? I almost forgot about him.” He muttered, roughly scratching his hair.“You have at least an hour to prepare,” Myles added.“I’m fine. I can cool off while waiting for him at the hotel.” He suggested calmly.“That
