"Do you think this earpiece fell out of Lanfen's ear because she needed to leave Aren's room in a hurry?" I asked, a nervous smile crossing my lips. Jack nodded. "That's the most probable explanation. The earpiece falls on Aren's sheets; maybe it tangled in his pajamas, and we transferred him to the clinic while he carried the device on him." Suddenly, chills ran down my spine. "Does it have any other functions? Can it track Aren's location? Or maybe it can record a sound?" I inquired frantically. Jack grabbed my shoulders and locked his eyes on me. "Cora, relax. I will bring it to our specialists if you want me to, but I am ninety-nine percent sure that it was only made to transfer sound. It cannot track anyone's location. It is not a bug either." I tried to breathe deeply to calm down, but the sole fact that she left something in Aren's room made me paranoically anxious. "I think Lanfen wanted me to know that she was the one who was inside Aren's room," I said nervously. "I am q

This extremely handsome man standing in front of me in his classy three-piece navy suit gave me the most alluring smile I had ever seen on his face. I smiled back at him but couldn't stop the tears that instantly covered my cheeks in wide streams. For a moment, the entire hall turned silent, as if nothing else mattered except for the two of us. Our eyes locked on each other, me standing on the podium and him on the level where all the workers and reporters stood. He reached out his arms toward me. I slowly stepped to the edge of the podium, taking in his entire magical presence. I hurriedly put the heels back on my feet in an instant need to look more presentable. He chuckled and scooped me up to hold me in his arms, bridal-style. I gasped and put my arms around his neck as he spun me around before gently putting my feet on the floor next to him. My heart beat hectically. His warmth, his touch, his smile... I missed it all insanely. I wished I could clash my lips against his and kiss

We had to wait for another hour until the chaos that we had caused at the shareholders' meeting would finally pass, and we could hope for a moment of privacy. The pictures found by Alan and Norton helped define the ultimate villains and heroes in our story, and no one dared vote against firing the current CFO, COO, and CMO. Nonetheless, even if Aren had always been prepared to offer those positions to somebody else, in case it was necessary, a change like that could never look positive in the public's eyes. Besides, there was one more issue that worried me..."What if Hill, Cooper, and Dawson start spreading rumors about the company? They can say anything now; they are already fired, which means they have no restraints," I said, as we walked out of the auditorium, heading to the elevator.Aren chuckled. "They are not going to talk."How can you be so sure?""They broke one of the fundamental laws in their contracts with Lan Diamond Corporation. They know that they can expect lawsuits

I could never find the right words to express how amazing it felt to wake up in Aren's embrace. It was sensual and hot beyond limits. I was on edge the entire night, and so was he. The skin of our bodies was hyper-sensitive, making the slightest touch a turn-on. The only reason why we fell asleep was most likely due to overpowering our senses. Putting restraints on our mutual desires was an insanely difficult thing to do...I didn't want to hurt Aren's pride, so I would never say it aloud, but I knew what it meant to have sex with him and how energy-consuming it was. As insane as it sounded, I knew that he was willing to sacrifice his health just to satisfy me, as if he had been neglecting his husband's duty while in a coma, and he wanted to make it up for me. I knew that inwardly he was aware that he hadn't fully regained his strength yet, but he would never have admitted it. He forced me to make it more my problem than his, but I was willing to since I was doing it for him. Unfortun

"I can do this!" I exclaimed, standing in front of the mirror as I was about to put on my evening gown. In less than an hour, I was going to walk into the Langham Hotel as Aren's plus one and drink champagne at the party celebrating the 20th anniversary of New Business Journal. Since the journal had been known for presenting innovative and emerging technologies, it was certain that the event was going to gather everyone in business who wasn't afraid to look into the future. And since in business, those who stay still are already two steps behind, it was obvious that the event would attract everyone who counted. I took a deep breath and put on a fitted white dress with a V-neckline, deep just enough to expose my mesmerizing necklace but not overly expose my breasts. The gown was simple yet sexy; it underlined my thin waist and wrapped around my curvy hips, and the slit at the front was perfect to show off my legs embellished in Jimmy Choo heels. With my eyes emphasized with liner and
