“Hu… hu” Venice stammered. Aaron angrily stormed into the hallway and yanked her on her feet. “What is the meaning of this? I thought you would be smart enough to know when to stop. When did you start being so stupid, huh.” Venice looked back in shock and saw Micheal with a smirk on his face. Her heart dropped in fear, “I… I…” she stammered. “I don’t need your explanation. If you want to sink to the button alone, you can do that. Don’t you dare affect the whole family? Darius is now in jail still waiting for his release and here you are creating another trouble. I don’t want any other problem, go apologize to Emily and Micheal, and let’s go home, now” Aaron commanded. Venice looked at him in shock and stood up with an annoyed look, “You want me to apologize to them? Why should I do that? I am their mother and I can do whatever I want. If they still don’t do what I asked of them then they can start thinking of not being a part of the family anymore “ Aaron wished he could just

I just wanted you to see that with you as my backer I can do whatever I want in this city. Ah, it’s so refreshing to know such a great, Po..…”Pete was interrupted by Micheal who was tired of his bootlicking.“Okay okay. You did great.

The rest of the day went by as peacefully as it could.Aaron and Venice sure took Pete's threat seriously this time. Micheal indeed had a lot of things to do at the company.Now that he is in charge, he has to make up for all those years he has missed while not knowing his real identity.He must admit that Steph did a very good job taking everything upon himself till he got back.For he would have had to start from scratch. “Boss, the new recruitment for this month has already been submitted. Do you want me to go through every single one of them “ Pete asked.He held the information of each applicant and could apprehend why his boss would be interested in the recruitment of new members.This is the job of the HR and as the big boss, he didn’t need to stress himself too much on this.“Mm,” Micheal said silently.Without lifting his head stretched out his hand.With no other option, Pete placed the document in his hand and asked,“Boss, I still don’t understand why you want to go thro

“Yes sir”“You said there is someone here to see me? You can send the person in now” Manager Marc answered and hurriedly hung up.Alice smiled sweetly at Micheal. “He is ready to see you now” Micheal answered while standing up, “ Thank you” Just as he had taken a few steps and almost reached the door to the manager’s office, he heard her say,“Don’t forget to see me before you leave I still have a lot of things to ask you. I do have more questions I wanna ask you. That is if you don’t mind”Hearing her seductive and sweet voice, Micheal felt goosebumps all over his body, but he tried not to show it and gave an affirmation before he left missing the cunning smile on her face.Micheal entered the office expecting to see an old, winkly, grumpy old man.But instead, he was met with a young-looking man who seemed to be in his early thirties.If not for the swollen mouth and bulged stomach which seems to be the result of intense drinking, he would have been a very handsome young man.“And

Kincaid had just finished with Shine and was walking back to the hotel. He walked towards the elevator and saw a figure he knew very well standing inside. After giving a nod, he entered the elevator and the person did the same. He pressed his floor button and stood there quietly."It's very nice to see you again. Coming back from the bat, I suppose?" Alec asked with a smile.Kim didn't even look at him but smiled as he replied, "Yeah."Alec nodded his head and continued, "Guess your night has been quite eventful. I saw you hitting it off with Maria earlier today. And believe me, she might feel the same."Kim didn't rush to reply or look at him, instead choosing to remain quiet.He felt that Alec often had one interest in mind but always tried to find something to pin on others, and that's exactly what he was doing right now."It's surprising that you, venturing into public political business and being the president and heir to the Crowns family empire, are so interested in other pe

Kincaid walked into his suite and immediately sensed that something was off. With an alert look, he didn't even turn on the lights in the room before he sensed a hand about to attack him. He swiftly dodged to the side and prepared to counterattack.The person attacking him seemed surprised, not expecting him to counter with such strength. Kincaid quickly grabbed the person's hand and swiftly threw them overboard."Ouch," the person groaned in pain as he lay on the floor."Is it over already? I was hoping for more. This is so boring," Jayden's voice echoed in the darkness.Kincaid calmly walked to the switch and turned on the lights, revealing Cole lying on the floor."What are both of you still doing here? I thought you guys might be in your room by now," Kincaid asked, crossing both his hands on his chest."Can you be less serious next time? I may look like a young man, but I'm old in spirit. Have some mercy," Cole said as he struggled to stand up.Kincaid casually glanced at him an

Kincaid walked away into his closet to get something to put on."You can leave the same way you came if there is nothing else. I need to get my beauty sleep as I have some work tomorrow," he said.With that, she felt a surge of pain in her heart and didn't know how to react to this."And I guess it's with Maira, right? You guys have become really close in this short time. Very interesting," Shine said.Kincaid, who had already put on some pants and was about to put on a shirt, smiled."And how is that any of your business? Last I remember, you allowed your friend into your house and even went to the club with him. You can do whatever you want with your life, and I can't do the same? Interesting."Shine was beyond herself in rage. She walked towards the window, about to leave the same way she came, without bothering to answer when he spoke."Oh, and also, I think we've done enough with this fake relationship. I think it's time we let go of this charade so we can both do whatever we wan

The next day, Kincaid arrived at the Pierre mansion, his eyes filled with admiration as he took in the grandeur of the estate. “I'm already there, don't worry I will be with you soon okay” he said with a tender smile .“You sure? I don't want that Maria cockroach to punch on you as soon as you arrive there, "Shine said with gritted teeth. “I knew I to follow you there” “You are cute,” he said and that was enough to shut her up.He couldn't see her but he could sense that she was blusing.“Okay I will coke right to you after this meeting okay” he said and before he could say something else, she hung up.He smiled widely but it soon disappeared when he git down from his car. The mansion stood majestically amidst sprawling gardens, its architecture exuding a timeless elegance. The air was filled with the fragrance of blooming flowers, and the sound of chirping birds added a serene melody to the surroundings.A butler, impeccably dressed in a formal suit, stepped forward to greet Kin

As the lingering silence filled the room, Mr. Pierre shifted gears smoothly, changing the subject to business matters. "Now, let's talk about the collaboration for the new hotel project. I've heard remarkable things about your management skills, Kincaid, and I believe your expertise will be invaluable in this endeavor."Kincaid nodded, appreciating the shift in conversation. "Thank you, Mr. Pierre. I've had successful experiences with hotel projects in the past, and I'm eager to explore this opportunity further. With your support and resources, we can create something truly extraordinary."Over the next couple of hours, Kincaid and Mr. Pierre delved into the details of the new hotel venture. They discussed location possibilities, design concepts, target demographics, and potential challenges they might face. Kincaid's passion for the industry was evident, and Mr. Pierre was impressed with his strategic thinking and attention to detail.After their fruitful discussion, Kincaid stood

After Kincaid left, the warm glow of the evening sun painted the mansion's walls in shades of gold. Mr. Pierre and Maria found themselves sitting in the elegant living room, a gentle breeze rustling the curtains.Mr. Pierre studied his granddaughter's face, noticing the wistful look in her eyes. "Maria, my dear, what are you hoping for with Kincaid?" he asked gently.Maria's calm façade vanished into thin air, replaced by a flicker of arrogance. "Well, Grandfather," she began, "I might not know exactly what I'm hoping for, but there's something about Kincaid that intrigues me. He doesn't appear to be someone who's interested in me, but I can't help but feel drawn to him."Mr. Pierre smiled knowingly, reaching out to hold Maria's hands warmly. "My dearest girl, the heart can be a complex thing. It may not always align with what our eyes see. Kincaid is a remarkable man, and I understand why you find him intriguing. If there's something you desire, I support you wholeheartedly."Maria's

“This feels like heaven”Shine walked into the glamourous mall, its rich decorations and luxurious stores making her feel like she had stepped into a world of glamour and extravagance. The marble floors reflected the shimmering lights of chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings, and the sound of soft music filled the air, adding to the aura of luxury.Cole followed her closely, carrying a plethora of shopping bags from their previous mall visits. “This… This is like the third mall already”. He seemed a bit overwhelmed and exhausted, but Shine was in high spirits. This was the third mall they had visited that day, and she didn't seem worried about the time or money spent. “Cole hurries we need to get more,” she said and run away excitedly, looking nothing like the cold detective Shine. For her, it was the first time she could indulge in something purely for her pleasure, free from work-related stress and responsibilities.Her eyes sparkled like a child in a candy shop as she sca

Shine felt a mix of surprise and embarrassment as she found herself held in an intimate position by Alec. “Ermm, thank you”She quickly tried to pull herself away from him, putting on an angry and disgusted look.Cole, who had placed the shopping bags away, hurriedly stood before Shine protectively, his fists clenched. "Stay away from her! She's my boss, Kincaid's woman," Cole warned Alec with a fierce glare.Alec smirked, raising his hands in a mock surrender. "No need to act alarmed, my friend. I come in peace," he said, his voice oozing with charm. "I never said I'm interested in your boss lady here," he added, looking at Shine with a playful glint in his eyes. "But I have to admit, the detective is quite the beauty. Wouldn't mind having her as my woman."Cole's protective instincts flared up, and he took a step closer, ready to defend Shine's honor. "Back off! She's not interested in you. It's a shams she is only interested in Kincaid “Cole retorted, his voice laced with a war
