"You call this a business proposal? Are you asking me to use this shit to convince the clients? I doubt, are you even worthy of being called New York's top Architects?" Alaric hurled the file on the table. His cold voice reverberated in the cold and silent conference room. All the directors and managers shivered from the icy atmosphere. The coldness emitting from Alaric's body stopped everyone from uttering a single word. One of the young, newly hired Architect wanted to speak in his defense, but the cold and opressing aura of Alaric stopped him to defy the devil a.k.a Alaric- their boss."Bro, you are frightening them. Please, calm down. I will personally look into it." Gil had no choice, but to step forward to save the employes from getting bullied by his brother."I'll give you one week. One week to redo this project. If anything goes wrong you will be held accountable." Alaric threw a one last warning look at Gil before striddeling out of the hall.Finally the oppressive aura slow

Belle tapped on the screen of her mobile phone for the nth time. With each tap she bit her nails in frustration. How was it her fault? She hid her face in her hands and wailed in exasperation."I thought you might be sleeping." Belle was in her self-misery state and failed to notice the sound of door being opened."Oi! You scared me." Belle jumped in fright and put her palm on her chest to control the breathing of her heart."Am I a monster?" Alaric threw the tie on sofa chair and started to unbutton his shirt, revealing his flawless masculine chest."Shall we have a drink?" Belle gestured with her hand, passing a sweet smile.Alaric shut his eyes tightly to reject her offer, but on a second thought he agreed."Ok." The evil curve of his cold lips sent shivers down Belle's spine.This Devil was up to something dangerous.

"But?""But you have to pay for it." Belle inched her face closer to Alaric. "Oh? How much?" Alaric pretended not to know about her intentions. "Why are you like this, you jerk of a husband." Belle hit Alaric on his chest with her little fist and to be honest it hurt Alaric a little. "What am I like?" Alaric held Belle's fist and rubbed it with his rough thumb."I didn't sleep with you for that land." Belle confessed with a small pout. Her lips trembled and tears threatened to flow down. "Then?" Alaric was stunned with her sudden burst of emotions

"I'll throw you out of the house, if you wake you sister-in-law up." Alaric threatened Gil and alas it worked. Gil immediately turned to an obedient boy, which of course he was not."What's the deal with you both?" When Alaric let go of his collar, Gil asked in a low whisper audible only to Alaric. "We have to pluck him out of her mind. I am sure he is using her." Alaric carelessly pulled out a cigarette and lit it. He thrust his other hand in his pocket. He looked no less than an immortal."Regarding that, I get that that land is precious, but what does it have to do with him?" Gil rubbed his chin in confusion."You are still young to know the reason." Alaric waved his hand and dismissed Gil's question.

"Yo! Belle, how come you are here on your own accord?" Luca covered his mouth, pretending to be shocked by the sudden appearance of Belle."I have something important to discuss with you all." Belle walked to the 3D business model, and the light in her eyes dimmed for milliseconds before regaining their usual calmness."We heard something from Italy. Is it true?" Hazel walked out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand."Mmm. Alaric probably knows something about our organisation. If I want that land, I must show him my sincerity." Belle casually plucked out a few rounds of grapes and dropped them into her mouth."But why is Sensei behind that land? He can build the research building anywhere." Carter, who had his head in his palm, asked in confusion. This was the central question, and no one knew the answer.
