‎"Where are you heading to?" he asked, his eyes glancing at her as she sat on the passenger seat, her posture composed and relaxed, almost detached. There was a certain calmness to her, an air of self-assurance that was hard to ignore.

‎She tilted her head slightly, raising an eyebrow, and with a smirk tugging at the corners of her lips, she answered, "Bravo company, going for an interview for the personal assistant position." Her tone was casual, but the way she raised her shoulder just a little higher than usual seemed to suggest something else, as if to remind him, whether intentionally or not, that she was in control of the situation, and he was, well, beneath her.

‎Edward's brow furrowed as the words settled in. "Really?" He asked, surprised. He hadn’t expected her to be applying for a role in his company, let alone one so personal, working as his assistant. He couldn’t quite picture it.

‎"Yes, of course," she replied, the small, almost playful smile on her lips betraying a certain level of satisfaction. She clearly enjoyed the mystery she had just dropped into the conversation. It was like she was toying with him, revealing just enough to keep him intrigued but not enough to fully understand what was going on.

‎Edward's thoughts swirled in a strange mix of amusement and curiosity. He tried to imagine what it would be like, her, working in a role so close to him. What would she think when she found out that the very company she was trying to impress was actually his? What would she feel when she discovered that he was the one who would be calling the shots? He could already see it: the look on her face when the truth came out.

‎He chuckled under his breath at the thought, his fingers tightening slightly around the steering wheel. His mind wandered for a moment, wondering if she'd be as confident then as she was now. Would she maintain that same air of superiority? Or would something change once she realized who she’d be answering to? A mix of intrigue and anticipation surged within him.

‎"Interesting," he said aloud, glancing at her sideways, his gaze flicking back to the road ahead. He allowed a subtle smirk of his own to tug at the corners of his mouth, though his tone was as nonchalant as ever.

‎She shifted in her seat, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice tinged with confusion, and perhaps a hint of challenge. It was clear she didn’t quite understand the undertone of his words, and for a moment, he could see the mask she wore crack just slightly.

‎But Edward wasn’t about to give her the satisfaction of explaining. Not yet.

‎As they cruised down the bustling street, the steady hum of traffic and the constant blur of city lights around them seemed to fade into the background. His mind, however, was anything but still. He couldn't help but wonder if he would be able to keep his composure. There was something about her, something that tugged at him in a way he hadn’t experienced before. He tried to pinpoint what it was: was it her striking beauty, her aura of effortless grace? Or perhaps it was the undeniable confidence she exuded, which seemed to fill the space between them with a magnetic energy. He had never felt anything like this with anyone else before. It was new, thrilling, and at the same time, unsettling. There was a strange pull he couldn't quite explain an electric charge that made his heart race but also left him feeling inexplicably at ease.

‎Meanwhile, Claire eyes fixed ahead, seemingly lost in thought. Her mind, like his, was busy, but with thoughts of a different kind. The weight of the future hung heavily on her shoulders. She was on the verge of a significant new chapter in her life, and the opportunity at Bravo Company was a pivotal moment. The kind of opportunity that could change everything. As much as she was excited about the prospect, she knew it wouldn't come easily. There would be challenges ahead, but she was ready. She had always prided herself on her ability to meet challenges head-on, and this time would be no different. She was determined to make the most of the chance she had been given, no matter the obstacles.

‎"Have you done your research about the boss you're going to be working with?" he asked casually, glancing at her briefly as he steered the car through the city streets. His tone was light, but there was a hint of curiosity in his voice. He wanted to know what she thought about him.

‎She turned her head slightly toward him, her expression thoughtful as she considered his question. "Well," she began, her voice steady, "he's rumored to be demanding, arrogant, and ruthless. But... I’m ready for the challenge. If I’m chosen for the position, I’ll give it my all."

‎Her words came out with conviction, and there was a spark in her eyes that made him take notice. She wasn’t intimidated by the rumors; if anything, they seemed to fuel her determination. She had already decided that this was the path she would take, and nothing, no matter how difficult, would stop her from giving her best. Her confidence was palpable, and it made him admire her even more.

‎As he processed her words, something inside him clicked. He had already made up his mind. There was something about her, her strength, her clarity, the way she faced challenges head-on, that struck a chord deep within him.

    ‎On Claire’s end, she looked around the amusement park with a mixture of excitement and slight hesitation. The sun shone brightly overhead, casting warm, golden light across the colorful stalls, rides, and scattered patches of grass. The smell of popcorn, churros, and cotton candy mingled with the faint scent of freshly cut grass and the occasional whiff of sunscreen. Laughter, music, and the hum of conversation floated through the air, creating a lively, almost magical atmosphere that seemed to wrap the entire park in a bubble of carefree joy.‎‎Claire adjusted her small backpack and glanced down at Duchene, whose eyes were wide with wonder, scanning the park with the kind of curiosity only a child could carry. Every ride, every sound, every color seemed to capture his attention simultaneously. She couldn’t help but smile at the way his little hands fidgeted with excitement, his tiny feet tapping impatiently on the pavement.‎‎“I think we should go for the carousel first. Or what d

    ‎It was a gentle Sunday morning, the kind that wrapped itself softly around the city like a warm blanket laid over a half-asleep child. The skies were pale blue, brushed with thin stretches of clouds that looked as though they had been painted lazily with a feather. Sunlight filtered through Claire’s curtains, spilling inside in diffuse rays that made her small apartment glow faintly with tender warmth.‎‎Her bedroom smelled faintly of lavender—something from her pillow spray—and the quiet song of birds outside drifted in, weaving itself into the silence of the morning. The rain from last night had left the air perfectly crisp, with that comforting damp scent rising from the earth. Even the city, usually restless and loud, seemed to be in no hurry to wake up.‎‎Claire stirred under her light blanket, her eyes fluttering before fully opening. For a moment, she simply lay there, letting the soft sunlight kiss her face. Then she reached instinctively for her phone on the bedside table.

    Four years later.‎‎Emerald City shimmered beneath the early morning sun, its skyline rising like polished silver spears cutting through the pale-blue horizon. The air carried the crisp scent of dew mixed with the familiar tang of traffic, and the entire airport runway glowed faintly gold as the powerful engines of a private jet wound down.‎‎Edward descended the metallic steps of the jet with the kind of effortless grace that made people forget to breathe for a moment. His tall figure was wrapped in a perfectly tailored charcoal suit, sharp enough to slice through the breeze. The black sunglasses shielding his eyes only enhanced the cold aura that had become his trademark—an aura built over years of pain, power, and growth.‎‎Behind him, two bodyguards followed closely, their movements coordinated like shadows trained to remain invisible unless needed. A sleek black car waited at a short distance, its engine already idling, as if the city itself had anticipated his return.‎‎Mr.

    ‎The dimly lit interior of the warehouse felt colder than usual, as though the very air sensed the fear swirling within its walls. Claire sat rigidly on the wooden chair, her wrists tied tightly behind her back, the rough rope biting into her skin each time she shifted. Her breathing was uneven—part fear, part exhaustion, part the heavy weight of worry pressing on her chest because of her unborn child.‎‎For a moment, silence lingered, broken only by the faint hum of machinery somewhere deep within the warehouse and the distant sound of muffled footsteps approaching. Claire parted her lips, wanting to speak, to plead again, or maybe to ask why this was happening to her, but before she could utter a word, the metal door swung open violently.‎‎Just when Claire wanted to talk, one of the bandits came rushing in. His face was pale, and sweat gathered at his brow despite the cool temperature.‎‎“Sir, seems like they've arrived,” he reported, his voice shaking noticeably. It wasn’t just

    ‎Meanwhile, in A city, Edward had tracked down a top-tier hacker to trace the number Conrad had used in their last contact. He sat silently, not wanting to disturb the man who was intensely focused on the screens before him. This was already the third hacker he had consulted, yet he remained hopeful that he could finally locate the number’s origin.‎‎After an hour, frustration was evident on the hacker’s face. “Sir… it seems this number is a code. It’s not an actual phone number and cannot be hacked through conventional means,” he explained, eyes fixed on the array of encrypted symbols on his monitors.‎‎Edward’s head spun in frustration. “There’s no way to reach it?” he asked, his voice low and tight with tension.‎‎The hacker hesitated, troubled but determined. He doubled his efforts, diving into the complex systems with renewed vigor. Thirty minutes later, a triumphant sigh escaped him. “It’s working. The code is connecting,” he announced, relief washing over his features.‎‎Ed

  • Fated love   Chapter 110

    ‎Three months later, in the bustling city of F, the evening sun dipped low, casting a soft amber glow across the streets. The hum of cars and distant chatter mingled with the occasional bark of stray dogs and the faint aroma of street food, creating the familiar rhythm of urban life. Claire, taking a leisurely stroll through the avenues, let the cool breeze brush against her face, feeling a rare moment of serenity after weeks of work and endless obligations. The golden light danced across the pavement, reflecting off windows and puddles from an earlier rain, making the city streets feel almost cinematic.‎‎She paused for a moment near a small park, her eyes tracing the children running and laughing as parents called after them, a faint smile playing across her lips. For a brief instant, she felt removed from the weight of her responsibilities, the tension that had been coiled inside her chest for weeks loosening slightly. The wind tousled her hair, carrying with it the scent of roast
