LOGINThe dim lighting in the room reflected the mood of the young man sitting gloomily in it. His poker face made it impossible to read his mind, seeing that he has been sitting there for hours.
"Young master you can not possibly undo it, but you could simply forget about her" His aide said in a meek and shaky tone unsure of his young master's present mood. The temperature of the room immediately dropped and you could see goosebumps on the fore arm of Mr jackson, his forehead beaded with sweat and his muscles tightened. He became tongue tied and dared not make a sound. "We must find her" He blurted with so much resolve in his eyes. Yes young master I'll get it done immediately" Mr Jackson confirmed. Nevermind you mustn't alert my relatives I will get someone from the other side to get it done. Return to the office and make sure everything proceeds as planned" He dismissed with a wave of his hand. " Yes Sir" Mr jackson responded with hidden smile on his face as he immediately left the home office to proceed with the task he was given, grateful that he had kept his head. Just as Mr Jackson shut the door Aiden could not help but recount last night events in his head, reliving the pleasant activities that had kept him on his toes all day. Her sexy eyes, flat nose, pointy lips not to talk of her soft and silky skin. The warmth of her skin down to the tenderness of her bosom, her petite body that was so delicate and fragile. He had held her like she was the most priceless jewel in the entire world. She was simply an angel. As the most eligible bachelor in country i have seen my own share of exceptionally beautiful, talented and charming ladies many of which have attempted to work their charm on me but they have never commanded my attention before. I lost my sense of reasoning by just a little touch from a strange woman that I had just met. I must do something about it!!! The first order of business was to find her. Get a hold of yourself" I immediately bellowed in a loud voice just before I felt something hard below. I looked down only to find a bulge in my pants for the umpteenth time. For how long must I put up with this? "damn it" I growled in a pissed and frustrated tone I hurriedly grabbed my phone and dialed my doctor with a frustrated and embarrassed look on my face. Just as I heard his voice I muttered a command Get here right now" before hanging up immediately. I looked down to notice less swelling so I heaved a sigh of relieve and proceeded to attend a meeting with the department heads while waiting for Doctor Ivan to arrive. Chloe's Bedroom A brooding Arianna is seen in a bedroom that seemed so feminine, flashy colours and all. Her poker face made it hard to reveal her emotions. She had been sitting on the same spot for minutes without moving an inch, desperately trying to decipher the occurrences of the previous night. "The nerve of that evil creature my father married. She has always been devious but I never imagined she could stoop lower. All for an inheritance that is not hers to acquire, she attempted to end my life. It is important that I teach her a lesson before she murders my father and becomes the biggest shareholders in the company" She muttered in gibberish. Minutes later the bedroom door creaked open and a young lady around the same age as Arianna skipped in. She had distinct features like Arianna, pretty blue eye, a round face, cherry lips, slender waist and straight long legs plus she carried herself like a model. "Ari come downstairs please, my mum made an exquisite dinner" she cooed. " I will, I just need a minute" Arianna responded with a serious tone. It was obvious she was still deep in thought. Stop thinking about your stepmother!!!!!! Chloe jolted her. And most importantly stop playing these silly games with her, she's dangerous, I mean she almost destroyed you" Chloe grunted Impossible!!!! I will be left with no family and no inheritance, she is dangerous enough to end my life. She must clearly be stopped" Arianna banged the table to drive her point in. Chloe immediately teared up "Ari I am sorry, I didn't mean it that way. It's just that I don't want you to get hurt. She is obviously dangerous and won't rest till she achieved her malicious aims." I mean you already got hurt, you spent a night with a man you barely know" She continued with tears dripping down her lovely and plump face. "Chloe I warned you not to mention it" Arianna quickly placed her hand on Tessa's mouth In a bid to restrict her from saying more than she already had. With teary eyes she muttered "You are my best friend and sister, I cannot bear to lose you". Alright, alright you convinced me, I give up. Can we have our dinner right now?" She stood up hastily forgetting the crucial pain she felt below, she frowned but immediately hid her pain without alerting Chloe. "What a beast! I am in so much pain" Arianna muttered to herself. Just after relishing the sumptuous meal with Tessa and her lovely mother I quickly expressed my gratitude and headed home to my dramatic family. My survival instinct had kicked right after the events of last night so all i had in my head were counter measures to evade the witch's plot. "arggggghhhhh" I screamed with frustration in my voice. Plotting was mentally draining and mind frustrating. Upon arriving home a fleet of cars lined up and I could only wonder what surprise awaited me. Walking lazily to the living room eyes descended on me the moment I entered the room. "Seems like a party was happening without me. How typical" She smirked. My stepmother immediately arrived my side, wrapper hand around my shoulder and cooed "my my, my lovely daughter is back home Blood left my face in a heartbeat! The witch is plotting again!!!!!!Arianna jumped out of his arms the moment she realized they were no longer alone, her heart slamming painfully against her ribs. Heat rushed to her face as embarrassment washed over her in suffocating waves. She had been caught in a compromising position, pressed too close to the young master, and now her best friend stood frozen outside the car, staring at them like she had walked into a nightmare she desperately wished she could erase. Chloe looked furious—so furious that the tips of her ears had turned a vivid red, the color deepening with every second that passed. Her eyes were wide, almost bulging out of their sockets, as if anger and disbelief were struggling for dominance. She stared so intensely it felt like she was trying to burn the image into nothingness, probably hoping she could unsee what had just been happening inside the car. Her gaze darted from Arianna to the young master, silently demanding an explanation, but none came. The air grew heavy with unspoken tension.
Aiden’s POVThis little, pretty lady was obviously trying to get on my nerves by mentioning that young child from the Pearson family. From her tone, I couldn’t tell if she was joking or if she was being serious, but either way, she had succeeded. Her words lingered in the air longer than they should.I had never been intimidated by anyone. I was powerful, successful, and feared by many in the business world because of my well-known ruthlessness. Boardrooms bowed, competitors retreated, and deals bent in my favor. Years of discipline and control had molded me into someone untouchable. Yet here I was, cornered by an eighteen-year-old girl who had somehow taken over my body and mind. Whew, what a ridiculous situation. If anyone told me this was how I’d lose control, I would’ve laughed them out of the room.It goes without saying that her words made me furious. My veins bulged so much they felt close to bursting, and I could feel my heartbeat accelerating, pounding against my chest like i
Arianna’s words stuck in her throat, making her unable to respond to his question, so they sat in silence. It wasn’t a comfortable silence, but one that pressed heavily against her chest, amplifying the tension that already filled the car. He seemed pretty angry at her statement. “Did I say something wrong?” Arianna muttered softly, her voice hesitant, obviously intimidated by his aura and the way his presence dominated the confined space. “You gave me your word,” Aiden responded. His voice was low but edged with sharpness. “Are you trying to back out for someone younger than me? Or did you set your eyes on him first? That’s why you don’t find me attractive, is that it?” Tell me would you? Arianna POV I still hadn’t recovered from the effects of the unexpected kiss from Aiden, and now he was bombarding me with question after question, giving me no chance to respond. My mind felt sluggish, as if I was lagging behind the conversation, unable to keep up with the sudden turn of ev
I was almost grinning, a ridiculous reaction considering the tension coiling between us inside the car. The low hum of the engine filled the silence, broken only by the sound of my own breathing. The word he had used echoed in my head, loud and mortifying, and my heart thudded as heat crept up my neck, settling there like a brand.“Consummate? What are you talking about?” I blurted, flustered beyond reason. “You seemed decent to me, so why are you coveting my body right now?” Aiden played with her, his tone light, almost lazy, as if he enjoyed watching me unravel and trip over my own thoughts.Arianna was stupefied and embarrassed. What was she thinking when she said that? She cupped her face in shame, fingers pressing against her burning cheeks as she stared at the floor. This was humiliating, she groaned inwardly, wishing the seat would swallow her whole and spare her from his gaze.“No, no, no. I was just making sure that we’re on the same page. It’s not what you’re thinking. Why w
The silence following their entrance into the car was almost suffocating. It pressed against their ears, thick and heavy, making the words Aiden had promised—“we have some things to talk about”—feel almost meaningless. The tension between them was palpable, a living thing curling around their shoulders, tightening with every heartbeat.Both of them sank into their own thoughts, avoiding the other’s gaze. Arianna’s fingers fidgeted with the edge of her sleeve, and Aiden’s knuckles whitened from clutching both of hands together. He was having a hard time keeping them to himself. Neither wanted to speak, yet the weight of what remained unsaid hung between them, unavoidable.Finally, Arianna’s voice broke through the quiet, soft and hesitant. “You said you wanted to talk?” she asked, her usual bluntness and fierceness replaced by uncertainty. The shift in her demeanor startled Aiden. She was usually so confident, so sharp, yet now she seemed small, almost fragile.“When are we getting mar
Arianna POVI was shocked when the maid informed me of his visit to the house. For a moment, I just stood there, staring at her like she had spoken in a foreign language. Why was he here? Maybe he came to talk about the marriage…He really didn’t have to come here though, not like this. Now Chloe’s mother was looking at her with questions written all over her face, sharp and curious, the kind that demanded answers.“E-em… give me a minute, would you?” I blurted out hastily. I scrambled for the words before Chloe’s mother had the chance to ask anything, before she could dig her claws into the situation. I didn’t even wait for permission before walking away.As I moved through the house, my steps slowed. A strange uneasiness washed over me, fueled by the memory of the way he had looked at me last night—hungrily, intensely, like I was some kind of tempting meat platter placed right in front of him. It made me feel timid in a way I wasn’t used to.I inhaled deeply, forcing myself to stea
