After Philip Campbell finished giving his speech, it was Ayden's turn. Philip gave the floor to Ayden while getting off the stage, he patted Ayden's back with encouragement. Eleana was seated on a table near the stage along with Kathleen, Savannah, the Morin family and the Davis family. All of their eyes were focused on the stage with a smile. When Ayden stood before the mic he smiled broadly at the crowds while they gave a big round of applause for him. Eleana sipped on her champagne while looking in his direction. His eyes met with hers for a brief moment before they swept back on the crowds. "Good Evening to all of you!It is just a great day for all of us and we all totally acknowledge that. Our Corporation has completed 100 years. Isn’t this the most amazing thing?" Ayden began his speech with a loud and clear voice. His voice sounded deep and smooth, putting people in a trance. The crowd responded by cheering, making him smile. He looked incredibly handsome while dressed in a n
Ayden was talking to some of his business partners when suddenly someone tapped on his back, making him turn around abruptly. He came face to face with a worried-looking Athena, her expression made him frown. "Athena, is everything alright?" Ayden asked in concern. Athena shook her head. "Can you come with me? It's urgent." Athena answered while looking at him with pleading eyes. Ayden's brows furrowed as he nodded at her."Yes, but can you tell me what happened?" He asked in a gentle voice trying to pressure her. "Just come with me, Ayden. People are starting. Avoid suspicion." Athena warned him. Ayden was surprised but he quickly composed himself before nodding at her. He quickly turned back to the group of people he was talking to previously."Excuse me, gentlemen." He quickly excused himself before turning to Athena. "Let's go," Ayden said quietly, making Athena nod. They both walked through the crowd before leaving the ballroom without attracting any attention.As soon as the
"What do you mean you couldn’t go in? Natasha asked in anger as her eyes threw daggers at Victor. Victor sighed as he started to realise he would be in big trouble. " Why are you here? You were supposed to be with that wrench." Maria Davis asked while getting up from the sofa. Victor looked in her direction and gulped. "Why aren't you answering?" Lincoln asked with a frown. They were all sitting in the living room of Lincoln Davis's mansion while discussing their upcoming plan. Natasha was in a really good mood because she was sure by that time Victor and Eleana already slept together and soon the media would be there to catch them. Eleana's reputation would be ruined and she would be forced to marry Victor to get rid of the humiliation. Her plan was perfect until Victor showed up at her house a few moments ago saying he couldn't go in the hotel room they had placed Eleana in. "Brother, can you tell us what happened? You are making us worried." Liana went near Victor before placi
It's been around a month since Eleana and Ayden last spoke. Clearly, Ayden was still very upset with her because of the hurtful things she had said to him. From that day onwards, Ayden visibly avoided her. He didn't talk to her or cross paths with her. He treated her like air. Eleana couldn't say she wasn't affected by his cold shoulder. She was. It bothered her when he ignored her like she didn't exist. Eleana thought of apologising to him but she didn't get the guts to confront him. Besides, both of them were busy with their upcoming project. They were working hard on this project because it was an international project which would benefit them a lot. Ayden was looking forward to this deal because of the competition he had with his rival company, Bennett Enterprises. Today was the day the deal would be handed over to either the Campbells or the Bennett. Ayden would be damned if he let such an important deal slip out of his fingers. If there was any man he hated the most, it was Jo
After the meeting was over, Eleana and Ayden left the meeting room. Eleana was about to enter her office when Ayden stopped her. "Come to my office." He ordered before passing by her. Eleana sighed as he watched him disappear inside his office before she too followed him inside. Eleana saw Ayden standing before the huge glass wall of his office with his hands in his pocket. His back was facing her. Eleana quietly closed the door behind her before making her way near him. "What's the matter?" She asked softly as she reached him. Ayden turned around to face her. Eleana noticed he had already removed his suit jacket leaving him only in his shirt and suit pants. "What's your opinion on this matter?" He asked while rubbing his face with both hands. Eleana heaved another long sigh. "Come, let's have a seat." Eleana didn't reply to his question, instead, she made her way towards the sofa before sitting down comfortably. Ayden stared at her for a while, thinking God knew what before he
Eleana, Ayden and Lucien were sitting in a car together while going to visit one of Eleana's production houses. It was Ayden's car. Eleana was seated beside Eleana in the backseat while Lucien sat on the passenger seat to Eleana's dismay. But Eleana couldn't do anything about it because it was Lucien's idea to travel in the same car. When Ayden brought his car, he was already in the backseat while his driver was sitting in the front seat. Eleana was looking out of the window. She was wearing a black knee-length designer dress. Her legs were crossed over each other as she sat. "Cara called yesterday, she says she misses you and hopes you will visit her soon." Lucien's words grabbed Eleana's attention. She smiled at him as he looked at her over his shoulder."Aww, I miss her too. How about you bring her here for a few days? I could show her around." Eleana proposed with enthusiasm. Cara was Lucien's younger sister. Eleana had bonded with her while living in Paris. "I will once she's d
After Eleana, Ayden and Lucien reached the Campbell Corporation they directly went to Ayden's office. Ayden pulled open the door before entering first followed by Eleana and Lucien. Joseph was seated on the couch while holding some documents. As soon as he saw Ayden entering, he got up from his seat. "Good Noon, Mr Campbell." He greeted him politely. Ayden nodded at him with a wave. Eleana also entered Ayden's office with Lucien. She passed Joseph a smile which he also returned. "Did you bring all the evidence?" Ayden asked as he took a few steps towards Joseph. Joseph handed him some files which he previously was holding. "Yes they are all in the files, please have a look," Joseph answered cautiously. Ayden nodded at him before opening the file and looking through it attentively. His face slowly turned grim as he read all the evidence.Eleana peeked at him curiously while waiting for him to comment. Lucien who was standing beside her lazily walked towards the couch before sitting
Eleana looked at the person Carl brought in with sharp eyes. There wasn't any fear or hint of nervousness in his eyes like he wasn't afraid of the crime he did. There was no remorse, no guilt. Eleana controlled the urge to scoff. Ayden's cold eyes glared at the person. From the moment he got to know about his identity, there was nothing he wanted to do more than kill him with his bare hands. "Mr Frank. What a pleasant surprise." Ayden heard Eleana's sarcastic words as she approached Victor Frank. Victor looked at her recklessly without breaking eye contact."What did you guys bring us here? What's the matter?" Liana's panicked voice reached Eleana's ears, making her turn her head in her direction. She threw her a smile. "Don't you already know the answer Ms Frank?" Eleana questioned while raising her brows at her. Seeing how carelessly Eleana was behaving, Liana's eyes filled with panic. She turned her head and looked at Victor. But to her surprise, there was no hint of panic in his
