The distant chatters died down as a deadly silence descended inside the booth.

All pairs of eyes stared in their direction, blinking in astonishment, and Mark’s face fell, looking stupefied.

Killian dusted his hands and flicked off the piece of paper that had fallen on his trousers. Then he rose to his feet.

“B- Buddy, what’s happening?” Mark gasped and sprang up. He stammered, “Is anything wrong with the contract? Wait, Buddy, please answer me.”

“Noisy,” Killian scoffed, dropped both hands in his pants pocket, and stepped out.

“Wait, Buddy… please tell me what’s wrong. If you’re not pleased by any of the terms, we can go through them again. Th- This deal…”

As Mark blabbered on, trying to make him stop, Killian’s bodyguards came forward and blocked him.

His annoying pleas resounded behind, begging him to come back.

“Mr. Reid, this is a billion-dollar deal. I have gone through the contract several times before bringing it back for your signatures,” Drake explained as they left the Bar

  • Best Revenge: Don't Beg for Mercy, Ex-husband   106. Its Limit 

    When Kiara regained her senses, a white ceiling loomed above her, and her eyes wandered across the room. Sigh! She was in the hospital. She wasn’t even surprised. She tried to sit up, however, her head began spinning. The dizziness had clearly not gone away. For how long had she been here, though? From the cool air flowing through the window and the bright sky outside, it appeared it was the early hours of the morning. But she’d lost consciousness in the afternoon during the party.She hadn’t passed out for days, had she?No way!“You’re finally awake.” The door opened, and on stepping into the ward, Greg looked exhausted but relieved. He sat on the chair beside her. “How are you feeling now?”“Hungry.” Kiara rubbed her stomach. Apart from the dizziness, there was an extreme hunger inside her stomach. “What day is it?”“Sunday,” Greg replied. Which meant she’d been unconscious for two days straight. She passed out on Friday, the day they were launching the new company. Kiara could

  • Best Revenge: Don't Beg for Mercy, Ex-husband   105. A New Company 

    …“You are very competent, Boss. You’ve just achieved what a lot of people wouldn’t be able to in years! Congratulations!”“That’s right, Ms. Storm. We’re very proud of you. Because of your hard work, our company has become formidable.”“Who dares mess with The Storm Empire now that the company is expanding? And it’s all thanks to our Boss’s strong fighting spirit!”Kiara laughed. Weren’t her employees exaggerating too much? She just managed to finish the toughest project ever. Finally, she was free from Aaron’s dungeon. But staring at the great result from it, she didn’t regret a single moment.Although it wasn’t an enormous skyscraper with hundreds of floors, the new company was their own and she was very proud of it.With the Storm Empire venturing into more fields, each section needed a company space of its own, and they now had enough room just for that. An entire building with a huge logo at the top. ‘The Storm Empire’ was definitely back. Kiara entered inside along with the

    His medications didn’t work. How could a simple warm milk be able to cure his insomnia? Killian stared at her, his eyes scanning the thing she wore. It wouldn’t even be called a nightdress, and the most fitting term for it was lingerie. “What’s the meaning of this?” He whispered, giving her a deadly look. “Did you go to the kitchen in this? Did the servants or the bodyguards see you?”If any of them saw her in this skimpy dress that not only exposed her full cleavage, but also left no little thing to the imagination, then Killian’s reputation was ruined. Was she out of her mind?“Don’t worry, Honey… Nobody else apart from you saw me in this. The servants have all gone to their quarters, and the bodyguards are outside.” Sophia gave him a silly smile, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. Every gesture she made was so provocative and Killian forced himself to look away. “Go and change into something appropriate. Never walk around in this again.”“Aren’t you gonna take the milk?”

    …Killian’s eyes didn’t stop following her back until her figure disappeared behind the glass doors. What was Kiara doing here? Wasn’t she supposed to be out of the city, in fact? And what was she doing with Greg Stanton at this time of the evening, and even in this kind of place?Why was she dressed like that?“Please don’t believe her, Honey. You know the kind of person my Stepsis is.” Sophia pulled his attention. “She’s only trying to sow discord between us.”“Of course, Killian will not believe her.” His mother chipped in, still looking furious. “That stupid girl accused me of encouraging Sophia to harm you. It doesn't make sense. Will I ever consider harming my own son?”Killian wiped his face. His attention was not even on what the women were saying. The questions inside his mind right now were all about her. He’d heard rumors that Aaron was overworking her, pushing her to her limits. He’d heard that she could give up anytime soon. Killian had also heard that the Anderson Gr

    Kiara could not argue it. Her muscles were still stiff and her bones were literally cracking inside. If Greg hadn’t brought it up, she wouldn’t have considered it. However, her body really needed a full massage. At The Spa.Kiara couldn’t remember the last time she received such treatment. The massage lasted for thirty minutes, she had even dozed off in the process. But she wasn’t just here for the massage. Turned out Greg had already booked this for her in advance. She went through a lot of skincare treatments, from her head down to her toes. While her toenails were being trimmed and polished, Kiara glanced at the time. It had been more than an hour. Greg should have gone somewhere to kill time. He definitely wasn’t waiting outside for her to finish. “Hmmm. It hasn’t been easy, Mom… I’ve tried many ways to get him to at least sleep on the same bed with me. He always makes excuses about work.”“Have you used that substance I gave you?”“W-Well, I wanted to, but…”“But what? You

    What did he mean by going back to the construction site she had recently returned from and demolishing the resort to build a new one because he suddenly had a better idea?Did it make sense a bit?Staring at the text message on her phone, Kiara grappled with anger and frustration. Honestly, she was beginning to think that Aaron was crazy. That resort had cost him millions to build. And now he wanted it to be demolished, and she had to go back and start the work all over again?She shouldn’t have agreed to the term in the contract that allowed Aaron to give her instructions however he wanted. She shouldn’t have given him the liberty to boss her around. Kiara had overlooked that term, thinking Aaron was so cool to consider placing pressure on her. Nah! She was wrong. That man was a sadistic maniac!“Urgh!”She just came back for goodness’ sake. Kiara hadn’t even felt the warmth of her bed. “You don’t have to continue with that shit, Kiara!” Maya was standing behind her, massaging he
