Feeling completely healed, Milan comes to the testing room to see how far the project was coming along. He sees Ariel talking with some workers on the colour for the car, and they lock eyes from across the room. Ariel immediately avoids his gaze and continues talking with the workers. Milan couldn't tell what was going on in Ariel's mind after the kiss. They hadn't spoken since, and it was becoming awkward between them. Milan changes into his coverall, and they all work on the sports car silently. Even the workers could sense the tension between the both of them. Once it wss night and they were done for the day, Milan spots Ariel untying her hair from a ponytail and picking up her bag. Milan walks over to and gives her a gentle tap on the shoulder. Ariel looks over at him, slightly shocked while Milan sends her a small smile. "I hope you don't mind if I drop you off.""No. It's fine. I came with my car. "Milan tucks his lips inside. "I'll send one of my bodyguards to drop yo
It is only two days to the launch of the new sports car, and Milan rushes over to the testing room in the morning after getting a call that they are experiencing major issues with the sports car. Milan stands staring at the car with a hand on his hip and the other hand rubbing his forehead. The workers all seem to be panicking as the engine of the car was sparking. Milan sighs and looks at one of the workers beside him. "What happened?""Sir, it seems like some of the cables snapped, and it's causing issues."Milan walks up to the car to access the cable. He touches it and frowns as he sees that it looked like it was intentionally cut with a sharp object. Someone purposely did it. "How long would it take to fix the damage?"The workers look amongst themselves with concern. "From the looks of it. It might take a week, sir. "Milan frowns. "A week? We don't have a week! The launch is already close, and we can not postpone the date. It would cause us major issues and a loss as the
Milan sits at his office, working hard and lost in thought. He can't help but wonder how he was meant to fix the issues with the spots car within a few days. Milan finds himself in a bad mood and informs his secretary not to let anyone have access to his office as he would not be accepting any visitors for the day. Milan drowns himself in coffee and worksA gentle knock on the door catches Milan's attention, and he frowns. He wonders if Sofia wasn't doing his job right to let someone have access to his office What surprises Milan the more was that the person on the other side didn't wait for him to grant them permission before they entered inside. The door swings open, and Ariel walks inside with a smile and then locks the door. Milan, let's out a sigh of relief. Ariel quietly takes a seat and looks around Milan."I heard the news about the sports car. I'm sorry I've been MIA for a while. "Milan sends her a small smile. "No, it's okay. I heard you broke the newest of your relat
Ariel scoffs and looks around the table for hee bag. Milan pauses the video and watches her take out her phone, aggressively searching for something. Milan sighs and gets up, taking the phone away from her. "Milan!"Ariel yells in frustration. "Don't do it, love. Try to stay calm. "Ariel shakes her head and walks to Milan, trying to get the phone back from him. "No! Please just hand it over. I need to speak to him. "Ariel's body shook with fury, and Milan kept the phone out of her reach, holding her around her waist with one arm. "You need to calm down first, alright. You're not thinking straight right now. Don't let your anger take control over you. "Ariel let's out a sniffle, and soon enough, she was crying. Tears fell down, her eyes in frustration, and she backed off from Milam wiping them. "I'm going to kill him, Milan."Milan lets out a heavy sigh and goes over to hug Ariel to calm her down. Seeing her so pained hurt Milan to watch. It was Troy, and Milan wasn't shock
It is the day of the launch party, and Milan can't hide his excitement as he stands alongside Ariel with both of them dressed in black, a suit, and a black gown. Lots of people had filled the hall, and it was basically like a little party. Milan looked around at the guests with a smile on his lips. They had actually succeeded. The new car was tested to be a success after Troy had used his own hands to fix the damage he had caused within two days. It was perfect just like they had wanted it to be with all its amazing features. Milan stares at Ariel at the table. They are seated and grabs her hands, kissing it. "I'm proud of you, love. You worked the hardest on this project, and you got us the collaboration with your family. "Ariel shrugs. "It was nothing. I loved your ideas when I saw this was something you wanted to bring to reality. I wanted to support it in any way possible. It's one of the greatest inventions, yet and I'm proud and honoured to have had an opportunity to wo
Once the launch party was over, Milan got into the back seat of his car that was opened for him by Xavier while Xavier got into the front seat. Milan had only instructed that the rest of his bodyguards didn't come. He was fine with only one person joining him for the event, and Xavier had volunteered to come along.Milan adjusts his tie and lets out a heavy sigh as he makes himself comfortable at the back, feeling exhausted from having to have gone around greeting all his guests. Xavier looks at Milan at the rearview Mirror and smiles, watching Milan slump at the back seat. Milan closed his eyes for a few minutes, and when he opened them, he couldn't help but frown at the unfamiliar roads. "Driver, where are we going?"The driver chuckles. "There was a lot of traffic, boss, so I used an different shorter route. We will be at home in no time. "Xavier nods as well. "It seems this road might be better, boss,"Milan waves his hands in the air. "Whatever. Just drive faster, I just
Xavier's mouth hangs open as he stares at Milan in horror with blood dripping from the corners of his mouth. He catches his breath and tries to speak. "H-How did you know about this?"Milan puffs out his cigarette and watches it disappear into the night sky. "The biggest mistake you rid was thinking you could get me to me twice. You thought I was a fool? What's funny is how you had the audacity to come work close to me just so you could steal from me. You had no fear and took such risk because you thought I was some weak dumb man, right?"Milan walks up to Xavier. "Look at me well, Xavier. Do I still look like the young man you let win all that money only to rob me off later? It's a shame you were blind enough not to notice that I've changed. People change, but it is such a shame to see you're still your useless and pathetic thug. "Xavier grits his teeth and tries to grab on to Milan's leg, but he gets a kick from behind by one of the thug shoving his face into the soil. "You ma
"You're what?!"Tessa grips the edge of her sofa to support herself from falling from the shock of the news she had just received. Xavier was in jail. Tessa shuts her eyes, not wanting to believe what Xavier was telling her on the phone. "You failed and got yourself in jail"Tessa huffs."I wasted my time trusting you could actually do it,"Xavier sighs."Please, I need you to get me a lawyer and get me out of here!!"Tessa couldn't imagine what Xavier had requested of her. He was a wanted criminal, and his crimes were too many to count. There was no hope of him getting out of jail, and Tessa thought he knew better than to deceive himself and accept his fate. "Don't ever contact me again, Xavier."Tessa hangs up the call and blocks Xavier's number quickly. Tessa slumps on the sofa and tosses her phone to the side, putting her face in her palms. It was over. All that they had planned wss ruined. Once again, they couldn't manage to defeat Milan. Tessa began to fear feeling her ha
