“Mr Foster, here are all the documents of the waitress that you require.” The private investigator stated and handed him an envelope. They had travelled to the hotel where Sienna worked, and the billionaire waited in the restaurant for her arrival. The private investigator proved to be a valuable source of information and arranged for Miss Chae-Soo to leave the country with all legal documents.
“Thank you, Aaron.” Declan nodded and read over the documents Sienna filled in for the abortion clinic. He was surprised to discover the waitress was only 23, 16 years younger than him. Declan was already 39, but most people assume he was in his late twenties because of how well he looked after himself.
Her birthday was on 13 January 1995, which meant she was born on Friday the 13th. Declan didn’t believe in supernatural events such as that, but he hoped the waitress wouldn’t bring bad luck in his life. He had gone through enough misery
Sienna shoved the billionaire off her and quickly ducked into the bathroom. She closed the door and locked it before Declan could react, which forced him to return to his seat. Sienna felt her heart racing as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. She wet her face with water and tried to understand why she kissed the enemy. “Get a hold of yourself.” She said aloud to herself and returned to her seat after using the toilet. Declan watched the waitress walk back down the aisle and sit down. He couldn’t understand why every part of him wanted to hate her when in reality, he found himself growing attached to her. He decided it was best that moments like the kiss they shared did not happen and fell back into silence. The private investigator tried to talk to either of them, but they weren’t interested. Eventually, the flat table mountain of his city and vast blue ocean came into view as they flew into Cape Town. Aa
Declan scanned his eyes over the waitress and found himself annoyed. He had work to do, and she complained because she was bored. He rolled his eyes and grabbed a file off his shelf, then handed it to her. “These are complaints that I received for the company. Kian printed them all out for me to go through, but honestly, I don’t care nor have the time. Read over them and see if there’s anything important or worth my time.” He said and returned to his desk to continue working on his employee’s salary. “Okay,” Sienna replied and placed her stuff on one of the chairs in front of his desk and sat on the other. Declan glanced at her and shook his head. He expected her to leave, but she could sit here if she was quiet. He went back to work, and Sienna started reading over the complaints. Many were about things he couldn’t control like staff complaints, slow internet during bad weather, being put on hold and issues not be
The three of them ate in silence and listened to music. It was awkward for Aaron to be in their presence when they were together, but both seemed friendly when alone with him. He finished up the delicious food and then excused himself. “Hello, this is Mr Wohoon. I am Mr Foster’s private investigator. I would…” He started to say into his phone as he walked off to his apartment. “So Declan finally found someone he could trust.” The man on the other side of the call chuckled. “Yes, Mr Hoffman. I was told you have a file for me. Will you email it to me, or must I collect it?” Aaron asked. “Please call me Ryan. You and I will be in contact often, I’m sure. I’ll email you my hotel’s address… actually scratch that. I’ll be hosting a masquerade party soon. We’ll meet then.” Ryan replied, then hung up the call. “I guess that means to collect it,” Aaron said to himself and shrugg
Declan walked into his house, and his personal phone started ringing. He groaned and ignored it while he poured himself some whiskey. He sat on the couch, and the phone rang again straight after it ended. “What!” He yelled into the phone without checking the caller ID. “Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?” A cocky voice replied. “Ryan, what do you want?” Declan asked and rolled his eyes. “I’m hosting a masquerade ball tomorrow evening. I noticed you have not responded to my invite yet. So I decided to phone and tell you to check your email.” He replied. “Why would I attend such a thing?” “Oh, so I can meet your new fiancé, of course. I want to see the lovely lady that stole your heart… I mean seed.” Ryan chuckled. “Shut up, Hoffman. I have to start making our relationship public in any case, so I’ll see you there.” The
Mount Nelson was a 5-star luxury hotel. They were led to a massive hall, and if you walked outside, you would find yourself by a pool. It was mesmerising and filled with people dressed to the theme. As they walked past, everyone stared at the stunning woman that held the billionaire’s hand. All eyes were on Sienna. “Uh, so this must be the lovely fiancé.” Ryan Hoffman cheered and walked over to greet the couple. “You didn’t tell me she was so beautiful, Declan.” He said with a sly smile which made Sienna tense up. “Sienna, this is my business partner, Ryan,” Declan explained. “Please, more like best friends. Hello sweetheart.” He bowed and placed a kiss on Sienna’s hand. “Pleasure to meet you, Mr Hoffman.” Sienna politely replied. “How’s the pregnancy?” Ryan asked and placed his hand on Sienna’s stomach, which gave her a fright. She stepped back, and Declan shoved Ryan’
Aaron Wohoon went straight to his apartment and locked the door behind him when they got home. He placed the file on the table and took out the masks that were in his pocket. He accidentally went home with Kian’s mask and ran his fingers over it.Kian’s gorgeous light brown eyes and blonde hair entered his thoughts. He found himself attracted to the assistant and didn’t understand why he felt connected to him when they held hands. Did this mean he was gay? He put the mask down and went to splash water on his face. He still liked women; heck, he found Miss Chae-Soo extremely attractive. Perhaps he was bisexual?Whatever was happening to him was new and made him feel confused. Why was Kian the one to bring out this side of him? Yes, he was kind, sexy, had an adorable smile, he smelled nice all the time… hardworking, accepting. Aaron smiled at the thought and looked at himself in the mirror. He looked happy. He had neve
After the phone call with his sister, Declan tried his best to stay away from the waitress. He ignored her when she spoke and rather walked away. For the next couple of days, he stayed at work late and ate his dinner in the study. To be honest, he was afraid of love and preferred to end how he felt about Sienna before he fell for her. His whole life, he had been full of hatred and conditioned himself to believe he wanted to be alone and throw himself into the company. Work was the only thing he loved, and it was going to stay that way. With a baby on the way, the billionaire felt his anxiety growing. He went out of his way to keep his sister safe; now he will have a child of his own… which scared him. He already thought of millions of ways to keep the baby safe and even wondered if Sienna would be a good mother. Could he let her raise his baby? He looked out the window of his office and felt paranoid. What if his enemies were watching him and waiting to strike
Aaron sat in the waiting room when Kian walked in. The billionaire was with Miss Chae-Soo, and he gave them some privacy to talk. The burns on his arms would leave scars, but he never regretted running in to help Sienna. Luckily he did because they saved Declan’s life.“Aaron, hey. Thanks for letting me know that Declan is awake. I stopped the news from spreading about the fire. As far as the public knows, the fire was caused by a short circuit, and everyone got out as soon as it started. The witnesses have been paid to keep quiet.” Kian remarked and sat down next to Aaron. This was the first time they had seen one another since the night of the masquerade ball.“Thank you, Kian. I know Mr Foster wouldn’t want to truth to spread. It just causes unnecessary scandal.” Aaron stated.“I’m glad to see you are still working for Mr Foster.”“I deci
