AFTER the incident in the bar where Malena kept on following Lucian, she became bolder in stalking him. A few weeks after the bar incident, she showed up to his apartment unannounced and enters his home and began to strip in front of him, coaxing him to have sex with her, which he should be happy since it had been 6 months since his last sexual encounter, but at that time he had rather bang some random girl in the bar than to be with her. He felt that he never knew who she was. She deprives him of intimacy for 5 years, then all of a sudden she’s throwing herself at him. He almost gave in, when he saw her naked smooth skin, long white porcelain legs, her hourglass figure and her tantalizing green eyes. Sending him a message of vulnerability and submission. He just needed to walk towards her and claim her. Something that he had been hoping to happen for the past few years. To her dismay, he left his own apartment and went home to his parents. Soon, he hires people to gather all his belo

MALENA initially plans to guilt-trip him by saying they slept together, and it’s her first time, then eventually hints that they should get married because her parents will disown her. But seeing that Lucian is not falling for her scheme and immediately uncovers her lies, she could only lower her head and hide under the covers. Soon she heard the door open and shut. The embarrassment engulfed her, she started crying and clenching her fist, blaming herself for being shortsighted. * * Latton and Albert agreed to meet for lunch in the Imperial Plaza. Though they are trying to mend their relationship as father and daughter, Latton does not move back to the manor and instead stays with Lucius. When she arrived, she saw that her father had already ordered and the food was being served and arranged as she walked towards the table. When he saw her, he immediately lit up and waved at her. Both seated facing each other, Albert started to put food on his daughter's plate. "You should eat mor

LUCIAN entered the office building with dark circles in his eyes. He has sleepless nights after seeing Sieve with Lucius last Saturday; he can't stop thinking about her, imagining she’s sleeping with Lucius doing things that she used to do to him. His face frowns, like there's a sour taste in his mouth. When he entered the elevator, as if the universe was against him, he saw Lucius inside. The latter then greeted him with a smile on his face, "Good morning, Mr. Caldwell." Lucian nods and gives a quick glance. He can sense that Lucius is a bit more gleeful today, then a scene flashes in his mind — a scene where Sieve and Lucius spent a steamy night together. "That’s why he seems happier than usual." He says to himself then glanced at Lucius again and saw red marks on his neck. His eye twitches upon seeing it. On the other hand, Lucius is oblivious to all of this, since Sieve is his cousin Latton. The red mark on his neck is not a hickey, it's a mosquito bite because he opened his room

FRIDAY came in the blink of an eye. The whole top floor is still on high alert since they still can't book a meeting with Mr. Kent and aside from that, a new batch of raw materials will be delivered continuously within the next 2 months. The contract needs to be signed as soon as possible but the amount Mr. Kent is asking is way too high. From the price of 15M, it's now 20M. Everyone is on wits' end, especially now that Victor is lurking around. As COO Lucian can see, the full view of how the situation will take a huge toll on the business, and it’s not good. It’s like holding a double-edged sword that will hurt them both ways and the only option is to choose which one will hurt less. Option 1 is to accept the 20M price change, but the budget will be affected so that they might need to change the price of the products. In a competitive market, sales might slow down for the first 2 quarters. Option 2 is to move the warehouses to Shance, but it would give Victor too much influence in th

AFTER formally meeting Latton yesterday, Lucian had fantasies about her, and it kept him wide awake. He kept tossing and turning on his bed. "I really need to get laid," he says as he stands up from his bed. He took his phone and opened an escorting app. He was about to book a female companion for the night but changes his mind and sighs deeply. Instead, he stood up, took a long cold shower while flashes of their night together lingered in his mind. On Tuesday, he went to the office at 9:00 AM, and continued with his day. Aside from the Hamilton contract, the company needs to move forward with their other tasks such as taking on new projects, expanding the brand, and daily business operations. As he completed tasks after tasks, a knock on the door disturbed his concentration. It’s John, holding two cups of hot coffee, grinning from ear to ear as he walks to his table giving him one of the coffee, he then sits comfortably on the couch. "Yesterday was chaotic..." He waited for a reac
