Stella could feel how the temperature in the room dropped drastically, and beads of sweats broke out on the crown of her head. The Scorpion leader smirked, when he sensed Stella's fears. This was exactly what he wanted...Before anything else could happen, he circled his arm around Stella's waist and turned her around, pushing her to the floppy bed. This happened too fast to the extent, Stella couldn't think of anything. " Why don't I show you what I can do?" His gaze darkened, and under his eyes, one could see a frost full of lust. Stella's eyes bulged out, and she shifted backward on the bed. This was not what she thought would be the outcome of her words. " No, don't come close!" She shook her head, looking frantic. " Please...." She begged softly, with new tears streaming out. " I told you not to beg right?" The Scorpion leader sauntered closer to her with a devil may care look. " Your begging only turns me on more," he warned huskily, looking like a tiger appro
" You only have 10 seconds or ......" Aiden relaxed himself and looked at the Scorpion leader indifferently. " You know the rules." The scorpion leader was flummoxed, and his heart skipped a beat. He was indeed very anxious, but was there something he could do? Aiden just watched how the Scorpion leader battled with what to do. Well, he didn't mean to be ruthless, but the Scorpion leader had provoked him too much. He had to put him in his position no matter what. Though, he was still gathering evidence, so he could know if the Scorpion leader has something to do with Lord Osric's death. Everything was just too connected. About his past, he would deal with Scorpion leader later. . " 9 seconds!" He reminded the Scorpion leader. The scorpion leader trembled and pressed his lips into a straight line.Under Aiden's eyes, there were turbulent waves hidden in his noble eyes. The slightly melted ice collided with the giant waves in his eyes. He was mighty and tall. The moment he spo
Two days later. The Burial of the late Lord Osric was planned to betide this very special day. This was because, they wanted the deceased soul to be in peace. There was no need to delay things anymore. The Lucius family sent out many invitations about the funeral of the late Lord Osric, and it was received by highly influential and eminent people. The big hall inside the Lucius Villa was the venue, where everything would take place. By this time, there were already elegant and unique decorations, that could be seen inside the big hall. At the entrance of the hall was a big attractive wreath and a long picture of the deceased, Lord Osric, on the easel. Inside the decorated hall, large Floral arrangements were made on the columns and table, with candelabras and faux. One could also see a large casket spray and an aisle at the top.The hall now appeared solemn. Now, everything was all set, and the hall breathed out a sophisticated air. It didn't take long before the gu
The funeral reception started, and finally, everyone's mood brightened again. There were fountains of wine, a table full of all around the dishes, and so on like that. The guests tooasted and laughed together with the Lucius family. Everyone was happy, and the atmosphere turned into something light. But Aiden wasn't there. He felt there was no need for him to attend a party like that.Well, no one bothered about him anyway. Soon, the party was over, and everyone went to their various destination back. ******The next day came crisp and dreamy. It was bright and beautiful. In the Lucius Villa, Aiden had already moved in, since he would need to keep a close eye on the Lucius family. He didn't want any bad thing to happen again. Stella went to Aiden's room and knocked the door. " Come in," a deep attractive voice sounded, and Stella pushed open the door immediately. Aiden just glanced at her briefly, before he focused back on what he was doing earlier. " Uhm..are you going t
Once the manager got to his office, he quickly sent a message to his assistant and proceeded to inform the share holders in the company about Aiden...........Aiden had already got to his office, and at the moment, he was going through some files. *Knock*" Come in," he answered in a bass voice. Instantly, the door clicked open, and the head secretary of the company came into view. " What is it?" Aiden asked, without looking up from his desk. The head secretary sneered and rolled his eyes. " The meeting will start soon Sir.....AIDEN!" He intentionally stressed his last word and crossed his arms over his chest.This caught Aiden's attention, and he slowly looked up. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were narrowed. He noticed the head secretary was acting impolite, and this made his narrowed eyes to change. The head secretary cared less and also stared back at Aiden. He had received the message of the manager, so how could he be scared of someone unworthy and usel
The shareholders were now vehemently expressing their vituperation on Aiden being the chairman and the president of the company. Aiden, who was the main topic didn't even say anything and just stroke his chin. He was meticulously observing each of the shareholders. It seemed they have been brainwashed! " Aiden, we are not sorry to say this, but you can't be the president and the chairman!" Another shareholder faced Aiden with a hard face. " Why?" Aiden also faced him, but his own face.......was so so cool like a glacier! " Because you are too useless, and you simply don't deserve it!" Some of the shareholders said together, with a strong voice. Yes! Cole nodded and rubbed his palms together! This is so fun to watch!" Are you saying the late Lord Osric made a mistake in choosing me, or he is too foolish, to the extent he doesn't know what he did?" Aiden clasped his fingers together and turned his attention to everyone present in the hall. This......" That's not what we are s
" Wait!"One of the shareholders suddenly stood up and shouted. " What is it?" Mav asked irritatedly.." I know we have made a grave mistake, but can I do one thing before we leave?" The shareholder, who stood up, faced Mav. " And what is that?" Mav frowned slightly. The shareholder didn't answer and just walked to where the manager was sitting. * Slap!* " This is all your fault!" The shareholder grabbed hold of the manager and spat his face harshly. The slap was a resounding one, and it immediately made the manager's cheek to become numbed. Mav raised his brows, but it was only briefly. He wasn't astonished. He just didn't expect it. " Is that all?" He asked impatiently. " No!" Another shareholder stood up and ran towards the manager. *Slap!*" This is for implicating us!!" Seeing this, other shareholders and senior executive officers also ran forward and hit the manager's face, venting out all their frustrations to him. Cole stepped back and widened his eyes. He
The door was knocked and Aiden answered. Instantly, someone opened the door and stepped in. " Boss!" Mav greeted Aiden and inclined his head slightly downward. " Have you taken care of them?" Aiden continued to skim through the files. " Yes boss!" Mav nodded immediately. " Good!" Aiden closed the files and placed them down. " Boss, the shareholders demand for 70 million dollars from the manager, and I got to knew the manager is the real instigator!" Mav explained in a respectful tone. " I know," Aiden responded calmly and stared at the windows side. Mav raised his brows and relaxed immediately. Has he forgotten Aiden is the marvelous boss? " What are we going to do now boss?" Mav asked, but his gaze was downward. He dare not lift his face or look straight into Aiden's eyes. " About what?" Aiden stood up and strolled to where his gaze was. His spender fingers gently rubbed the glass like window, and his eyes went down other buildings around the company.." About the manager
