Aaron Samuel

That girl is something else! She is so fearless and strong unlike any other girl I have ever met. I prepared myself to scare her the first day I set my eyes on her. I wanted her to realize never to have cross my path by going all the way just to see my image got tarnished to the public. I wanted to appear so scary and wants her to be vulnerable about it but, guess what I got in return, I was shocked by the reaction I got from her. She wasn't afraid of me. She was afraid of nothing. I expected her to kneel down and beg for mercy, but the opposite happened. I knew she had no money and threatened to pay me but she agreed to pay anyway. I wasn't sure of why I offered her the job, but I just did that without any thought and guess what? She turned it down. 

I left her house a few weeks ago and asked my two bodyguards to watch everything she does, what she does and who she meet. I would like to know of everything that revolves her. 

I chose to never get her interviewed. None of the managers tried to deal with was ready to answer her as they were all avoiding my anger. They fear me because they know what I can do. I was sitting in my desk chair, flipping through files when my phone rang. 

This is Joe- I said to myself as his name appeared on my screen. He's one of my designated boys I assigned to watch her. 

“Boss, there's a problem" he said as I answered the call. 

"What's going on, Joe? "

"Miss Censatio, I think she is in trouble," he announced. 

"What do you mean?"

"We're not sure, but we're sure of the owner of her apartment going in. He's taken three men with him and now they're in her apartment."

"What?! And you saying this to me now?"  I'm angry with him. 

"I'm sorry,” he apologized. "Should we send our..."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it so you can focus on your work first. Just keep trailing her and keep an eye on her"  

"Yes boss." He answered up and I hung up.

 I still have the papers my detective gave me recently and I'm sure I'll find some information about their landlord there. Luckily, I found what I was looking for and immediately dialed his number, he picked up on the first ring and sounded upset as he pick up the call. "Yes, what is it and who is this?" I heard him growl in anger. 

"Now I hate the tone you use towards me. Only I have the right to use that tone against you. No one but me, Aaron Samuel…" was all I said for him to made corrections of himself.  "Do you understand now?" I added 

"Yes, of course."

Now I like the sound coming out from him.

 "I only have three statement to give you. leave that apartment as soon as possible. I will ask my men to get in touch with you later on. Do not tell her about our conversation."

"yes, yes... of course, not. No."

“I like that sound! Leave now and my men will meet you at your house. I'm going to make you a valid offer. Instead, you will leave her alone.' I ordered and hung up before continuing my work.

I dial Joe's number to send him an order. Today is the 16th day, she promised compensation, but I still don't know where she wants to get the money from. it's really crazy huh. I'm still waiting for her to miraculously bring me the money.

Joe called and said she was turned away again at the fifth restaurant she went to today. I ordered him to bring her to my office. He can rule over her if she calmly refuses to submit to him. She is not a quiet woman, but very stubborn one at that.

Nathan and his girlfriend are still in my office as we were all engross in our talks. My parents are amazed and happy by their relationship and because of them, I've been on a lot of pressure. My father wanted me to inherit the empire, so he had to threaten me. To do that, I have to find a woman, or rather, I have to get married.

Running my own business isn't enough, and now I have a different responsibility. I've often told my brother to clear his mind and focus on the business world, but he won't.

He's good at business, but he doesn't care. He just wanted to focus on his art. Painting, visits to exhibitions, football. Now, he comes to my office with his girlfriend. She flew from America to New York because she missed him. Two idiots!

We all walked out of my office and my eyes fell on the woman I really wanted to crush, but for some weird reason, I see something different about her today. She looks great in her army green short dress. Her long red hair that falls from her shoulders to her back makes her stand out even more. I can't look away.

“You cra…” she Stopped abruptly, but she still looked at me.

Both ladies were so engrossed in their conversation that it was uncomfortable to hear them talk to each other like this. Both acting like we don't exist.

"But you…"

"Nathan, get her out of here...now!!" As I growled through clenched teeth, Tiana turned to me and gave me a little puppy face.

“Honey, you should find something interesting to show other than that. I don't think that's cute right now." I hissed at her, rolling my eyes.

"Baby, let's go. Your parents would have been waiting for us." Nathan tried to pull her away, I think he feels the same as me. 

"But I want to talk to her. It's been a long time since we've had anything like this." she complained.

"Nathan, take her away." I ordered again.

"But at least, let's exchange contact information," she murmured.

"Okay! I'll give you her contact details," I said. I'm not going to lie about it, but I have to let her go for now.

"You promise, Aaron. If you don't keep your promise, I'll never forgive you," she cried as my brother tried to pull her away.

"Yeah, yeah...whatever!"

"Sophia, I love my girl and momma is so proud of you for what you've done. I'm going to call you and empower you to teach him a big lesson when he does anything crazy to you. I love you girl, I miss you, call me and let's talk... okay?!" she screamed as Nathan pulled her out of sight and into my private elevator. A deep sigh escaped my mouth.

"good riddance!- I thought mentally, rolling my eyes.

I can't believe my parents invited her to dinner. My gaze fell on Sophia and I knew she was nervous. A few seconds ago, she looked relieved.

“Let's get down to business, Miss Censatio." I heard her swear before she closed her eyes as I said that.
