LOGINHi loves, I hope you all are enjoying the story so far. Tell me what you like about the characters.
"Lou! Are you busy?"Bryan Hunt walked in, bringing a rush of bright energy into Lucuis's study in his villa. At twenty one, Lucius's cousin was the exact opposite of him. While Lucius loved to wear suits and keep his emotions locked behind a wall of ice, Bryan wore bright colored fashion clothes and his emotions plainly on his face. He had a warm, cute look that made people naturally adore him.Lucius set his glass of whiskey down. His usual icy expression immediately softened. He had always felt a natural bond toward Bryan. He didn't know why, but Bryan was one of the few people Lucius genuinely cared about, even though he was uncle Roland's son and had been raised to hate Lucuis."You dont knock anymore?" Lucius asked with a smirk, though there was no real anger in his voice."If I knock, you might tell me to go away," Bryan said with a wide grin.He practically bounced on his feet as he walked over to the leather sofa facing Lucuis's desk and threw himself onto it. He pulled his
"He is Roland Hunt. CEO Lucius Hunt's uncle." Emily explained.Alura frowned. "If he's his uncle, then why does he look so angry?"Emily scoffed in disdain."That's because he really hates his nephew," Emily replied. "When I was newly employed, I heard rumors that Mr Roland was supposed to take over as the CEO of the entire Hunt Group when Mr. Hunt's late father passed away. It was practically promised to him. But the CEO position went to Mr. Lucius Hunt instead, even though everyone thought he was way too young at that time, He proved them wrong with the experience of someone who had been in business for a very long time, do his grandmother the monarch of the Hunt family, willed the company to him."Alura listened quietly, completely fascinated by the dark, family style rivalry playing out in front of her. She had assumed Lucius was completely unopposed in his empire."Mr. Roland holds a bitter grudge because of it," Emily continued. "And he doesn't even try to hide it anymore. He is
The bounty had turned from gossip into a city wide obsession.The anonymous bounty had been reposted across dozens of different platforms, and overnight, the promised reward had mysteriously increased to a staggering, unbelievable sum $200 MILLION.Cedarville went really crazy. The hunt for Lucius Hunt’s secret wife became some sort of competitive sport. Amateur internet detectives formed their own online forums, analyzing every single woman the Lucuis had been photographed with during the past five years. They stalked his inactive social media accounts for tiny clues.The madness quickly spilled from the internet into the real world. Dozens of aggressive paparazzi and desperate civilians swarmed the parking lot and surroundings of the Hunt Group headquarters. They shoved microphones and cameras into the faces of random employees, trying to bribe them for internal information. Building security had to use heavy metal barricades and double their numbers just to keep the public from
"....Did something happen?"Alura whispered to herself.The first thing she noticed immediately she entered the lobby was the whispers. It was not the usual gossiping whispers or work discussion, it was something else. The ground floor was buzzing with tension, Junior secretaries huddled in small clusters. Head of departments stood in the hallways, their heads joined together as they stared wide eyed at their glowing phone screens.She shrugged it off as she walked past them, heading for the fortieth floor. Alura set her purse down on her desk, She opened the desktop to check her morning emails, but there were no urgent work emails. So she pulled out her phone to check for personal messages, but a notification from the local Cedarville news app popped up on the screen.Sitting at the very top of the most popular gossip forum was a post that had already gone viral. The bold, red text practically screamed off the screen.*$100 MILLION REWARD for verified information about CEO Lucius Hu
After the awkward situation at the break room, everything seemed to change.Alura hadn't been disturbed by Ethan throughout the next day, whatever Lucuis had told him completely put him back in his place.And she was really grateful to Lucuis, her admiration for him increased, he always seemed to save her from difficult situations. He was her hero.She finally felt relieved, and had happily done her last work for the week. The next day at her apartment, it was quiet except for the furious scratching of a pen against paper.Alura lay flat on her stomach in her bedroom. She was biting her bottom lip so hard it was turning red. A thick, leather bound diary rested on her pillow. Her cheeks were flushed a deep shade of pink as her hand flew across the pages, writing down her deepest, most embarrassing thoughts.She was writing about Lucuis. About his terrifying aura yet very attractive hot looks.Even though Alura wasn't sexually experienced, she had a thing for writing hot and detailed
Over the rest of the week, the executive floor became a living nightmare for Alura.Ethan made it his personal mission to interact with her as much as possible. His harassment was deliberate and perfectly masked behind a fake, smile. He found a dozen different excuses to come up to the fortieth floor. He dropped off basic printed files that could easily have been sent via a simple email. He hovered near the copy machine whenever she walked down the hall. He would always rush into the elevator when ever she was already in, trapping both if them in, and those few minutes she had to share the same space with him and breath the same air with him were the most annoying and uncomfortable moments of her life.The worst part was the way he spoke to her."Good morning, Alura dear," Ethan would say, leaning against the edge of her desk with a familiarity that made her skin literally crawl.He always said it just loud enough for the other junior secretaries to hear. He wanted everyone to thin
