It was a Monday morning, and I had woken up way before my alarm had gone off. This wasn't because I was battling with insomnia or anxiety. It was simply because I was resuming my work today as the CEO.I knew I would do well.I knew I had what it takes to run the group so I no longer worry about that.I was just worried. How they will regard me. If they also thought it was okay to lead them.Although they had no choice but to follow me, I still wanted it to be on their own accord.I finished schooling at twenty-one and for three years, I had worked in one of my father's companies.This was because I knew I was going to take over someday, so, the lawyer and Mr. Jang had talked me into it.I finished my business in the bathroom and then wore the beautiful two piece corporate wear that I had gotten just a week before.It was red pants, and I wore a white shirt before the red jacket. After I was done, I settled in front of the mirror and did a little bit of facial care.Then, I slid into
“You can come in!” I sat upright as I heard the voice of Mr. Jang.He came in with a smile and a tray in his hand and I chuckled. “What are you doing?”“Your tea,” he smiled as he got to the nightstand and then dropped the tray on it.“Are we really going to do this here?” I asked, laughing as he poured the tea.“I didn't follow you all the way here, madam, just for a chat. You are like a daughter to me and I have vowed to take care of you till the very end.”“So sweet, and don't call me your madam,” I snapped my brows at him and he chuckled.“You are forever my child, mistress. You do not have to worry.”I smiled widely and nodded my head. “Thank you, Mr. Jang. for being here with me, thank you.”He nodded his hand and then handed the mug of the brewed tea to me and I collected it from him.Two weeks ago when I just returned from the future, I had been having trouble sleeping at night and I had mentioned it to the man.That night, he had brewed a tea which he had to be a mixture of C
#FLASHBACK#“Why did you call me here?”Mason asked, looking around at the ever-familiar surroundings that he was in.It was underground. And it had been five years already since he had left the underworld business.Being called over by his ex partner whom he used to run the business with, he had no choice but to honor him, and then settled on the chair in front of him, crossing his legs.“Is this how you greet your former partner? Just because you left this world doesn’t mean you cease to be one of ours.”“What do you want? You know for sure that I don’t wanna come here. I am just… saving your face, you get?”Xandro smiled and then scratched his chin where a long, thick scar settled.“I’ve got a job for you.”“Are you kidding me?”“I feel like you’re the only one who can handle this job perfectly. You’re still the best person our organization has ever created. It’s a shame you walked away.”“I told you I was done. Five years ago, I washed my hands off everything and started over aga
“Sorry…” She sniffed, pulled back, and then wiped her tears with the back of her hands, literally not caring that she could ruin her makeup.“It’s alright, really,” she shook her head and then moved her hands from his grip.Two days ago, when Mason had talked to Mr. Jang about moving in with them, he was the happiest as if he had been waiting for the man to ask him.He would do anything to see her comfortable, which was why he had reached out to the man.He bored my eyes into her as she collected herself and then finally looked around in the room where they stood.“Are we sleeping together?” Her brow rose, like it was forbidden to even share a room.“This is your room,” he answered her.And she looked around again in awe.Of course, she would be wondering how he had managed to set up the room for her raise.Mason knew her so well.Even the tiniest bit of herself.He had gathered every intel that he could on her before the unfortunate incident happened.“Mine alone?” Her eyes lit up i
The ride down to Mason’s mansion was quite peaceful, and silent as I had looked out the window all through, looking around while he pressed his phone.Before we left, Kirill and Kiara had walked us to the parking lot, and had promised to come see us again after we settled in fully.But, there was something else on my mind.I didn’t get introduced to anyone by Mason as his family or anything of such.The hall was unreasonably full. And I couldn’t help but wonder where the man had gathered them from.A few of them were from my workplace and some shareholders, but the rest? They were from Mason.The setting looked way too formal that I wondered if they knew it was a wedding that we were doing and not some award ceremony.They were all dressed in black. Even the women were dressed corporately.Except for Kiara who had worn a purple dress.I didn’t think it was necessary to bother about that but thinking back on it, I wanted to know why the settings were like that, so I glanced at the man
MASON’S POV.Watching her walk down the aisle hand in hand with the butler, Mr Jang, a soft smile escaped my lips and I hurriedly swallowed it.It was too early for me to be showing any bit of affection or admiration for this woman.It was not even like I hadn’t.I cooked for her. Consoled her, and did everything to make sure she was okay.If that was not showing off affection, I do not know what else it was.I had no idea what the future held for this woman and me, and I knew it was best that I focused on my main purpose in her life.Finally, they got to where I stood, and the man looked me in the eyes, and I swear, I could feel the fear he was trying to mask with a smile.He lifted her hand and then dropped it on mine gently, and then swallowed hard.“Please, take care of her… please,” his voice shook like he was going to cry and I smiled softly at the man who really acted like he was sending his only child off.I took her hand in mine and then together, we walked to where the marri
