David followed behind Lucian. The two men approached. It was hard to discern their emotions judging by their expressions alone.He stopped before Calista and reached out to pinch her chin. His shadowy gaze landed on her swollen face that bore a handprint. Her lips were split and stained with blood.Lucian turned toward Marcus who was too nervous and hesitant to meet his gaze.He smiled and spoke in a low voice, "Laying a hand on what's mine, Mr. Packard? How do you plan to settle the matter?"Was he saying that there was something to discuss?Marcus tried to calm down and answered with a smile, "I'll give up another 20 percent of the profits …"Marcus studied Lucian's face and found him to be unfazed. He gritted his teeth and said, "30 percent. I'll give up 30 percent of the profits."He was reluctant. 30 percent of the profits meant 300 million dollars; it was a staggering loss!Lucian instructed David, "Get me the contract."Calista's heart sank when she heard his words. She

Neither spoke. Their breaths were heavy. Calista was pissed off.She couldn't see Lucian's expression, nor did she have the time to speculate what sort of mood he was in. It took her half a minute to somewhat calm herself."The contract has already been signed. You can't go back on your word."The man responded to her in a calm and deliberate tone."There is no followup partnership. This signing is not considered a success. Why don't you go ahead and ask Marcus Packard if he's still interested in working with the Northwood Corporation?"Marcus would certainly be willing to do so. His company's future was far more important than his pride. But after what he had done to her, how could she? She was boiling with anger."Lucian Northwood, have you no shame?"Lucian had probably never been scolded like this before in his life.His voice was cold as he spoke, "And, where have your manners gone, Calista Everhart?"The woman sneered and didn't hesitate to retort."Fed to the pigs, no

Lucian caused a commotion when he threw the door open. It prompted Calista and Bryan to look up and over at him.The man was tall. Simply standing at the door blocked out much of the daylight. His handsome features were stern and cold. The way he gazed at her was as if he were going to freeze Calista through!The woman was surprised. She straightened herself and asked with a frown, "What are you doing here?"Her impatient tone and undisguised expression spelled a clear message. Bryan quietly let out an exhale.During that brief moment, his heart had been beating uncontrollably. Even now, traces of her subtle fragrance lingered in his nostrils. It was oddly captivating.He worried that his irregular heartbeat would be heard by others. Embarrassed, he gulped.Lucian had been in charge of Northwood Corporation for years. He had encountered countless people. It only took him one look at Bryan to know what the man was thinking.He wore a smile that didn't reach his eyes and coldly mo

"Miss, what are you doing? You can't touch the piece unless you're buying it!" the security guard in charge of the area yelled out. "Put that painting down, or you'll be treated as a thief!"Calista was startled by the cry that echoed throughout the floor. It was only then that she realized she had taken the painting off its hook at some point.She grew aware of how tense she was.She hurriedly suppressed her complex emotions and said hoarsely, "I apologize. I got a little too excited …. I would like to buy this painting. Can you please help contact the seller?" The skeptical security guard called for the person in charge. They promptly arrived after learning that she wanted to buy the painting. They contacted the person who provided the painting.Knowing that the person who offered up the painting was at the exhibition, the person in charge said, "There's a buyer here who would like to buy the painting you put up for sale, Ms. Everhart. Would you like to come to discuss the pric

Calista gave him a look of disbelief."We're getting a divorce soon. Why would I call for someone who's going to be my ex-husband soon to back me up? Do I look that crazy?"What was most important was that a ruthless businessman like Lucian would never act as a shield for free. He would take a pound of flesh in return even if he did.She didn't want to add to the already massive debt of three million dollars.Lucian pulled out of the parking lot as she was speaking. He had a cigarette in his mouth. He narrowed his eyes and gave her a mocking smile."So, you don't want me there to back you up but, you're fine with Paul being there instead."She took a deep breath. She already knew that was what he was caught up on."Our marriage had always been business from the start, Lucian. The so-called deal is that we put up an act when we're together. But in private, we don't interfere with each other's lives. When the contract expires, we part ways.""So?""So," A bold smile spread across
