I checked out the file's details and found that he had been selected by his party to lead the project if given. My mind was filled with confusion and anger – I didn't want anything to do with him after he betrayed me. I wanted him to pay for what he had done.I remembered Alexander's words about being in charge of supervising the project and ensuring its success. I decided to use this power to make Aiden's life a living hell while secretly ensuring the project's success for Kensington Global Innovation. With a sly smile, I began planning my strategy.I would set impossible deadlines, assign the most challenging tasks to Aiden's team, and constantly scrutinize their work. I would make sure they felt the pressure of my presence at every turn.I pushed the other parties' files aside without a second glance. I did some research on Aiden's party using the laptop on my desk, gathering every piece of information I needed. After a while, I sighed and leaned back in my chair, taking a break.

Two weeks later...Scarlet's POVA knock echoed on my door, resonating in my ears. "Come in," I uttered. It was Emily, slowly walking in."Mam, the party group has arrived...." she informed.Finally. After a week and a half of finalizing the deal with Nova Solutions, Aiden's party, the meeting for the project discussion was scheduled for today. I was set to lead the meeting.I let out a sly grin as I stood up from my desk. "I will be with you shortly, Emily. Thank you...." I said."Alright, Mam...."As Emily left my office, I gathered up some files of my research on the AI project needed for the meeting. As I braced myself, I knew it was the start of the first phase of my plan.I was sure Aiden must be so excited right now, but when he sees my face, that smile and excitement would wipe off within an instant. When he realizes what I plan on making him go through, he will regret ever taking the job....But I also knew I wanted the best for the company, so I wouldn't want to ruin this pr

Sebastian's POVGetting out of my car, I slowly walked toward the door, which creaked slightly as I entered. Raising my gaze, my eyes caught sight of Nikolai. What was that fool doing here?My eyes darted to Scarlet, who was standing nearby. If I was sure of anything, it was that they were engaging in a conversation.I hoped this fool hadn't..."What are you doing here, Nikolai?" I questioned aloud."Oh, you're here, Mr. Hawthorne. Well, I'm just here to give you some updates..." Nikolai replied."Let's talk outside..." I said, inviting him out of my mansion.I could sense Scarlet's curious stare. I wouldn't want her getting a whiff of my dealings. I had always told Nikolai and anyone else I worked with not to bring business home.I mean, what if he were seen on the way to my mansion by one of the media hounds craving the next top story? Now they would see a chance, assuming I was getting paid by a wanted mafia lord.I retracted my glance after Nikolai was out, as I also left the mans

My eyes slowly blinked as everything around me started spinning. I felt a hand on my shoulders, presumably to steady me as I almost fell from the loss of blood. Sebastian led me out of the party, leaving Tristan behind, though I could feel the anger radiating from Sebastian's eyes.He gently helped me into the car, leaving the party, and drove me back to the mansion. He laid me on the bed, his hands rushing for the first aid kit. His behavior felt unusual; it was a strange mix of gentle and firm. He grabbed my wrist, applying medication to stop the bleeding. My eyes flickered open and closed, the pain gradually subsiding.His presence always exuded a dangerous aura that made me uneasy and scared around him. But his caring act tonight felt overwhelming, and I couldn't quite get used to it. He had never been this caring, and he often reminded me that this was just an arrangement. Yet, his actions seemed to contradict his words."Are you doing alright, or should I call the doctor?" he as

Scarlet POVI sat down, unable to grasp what Emily had just informed me of. But how? Who could have had him killed? I admitted I wanted him to pay for what he did to me last night, but not by wanting him dead...But it can't be Sebastian, right? Those eyes and his weird act—I could feel the anger that was radiating from him. And precisely, I heard him calling for someone's death before, and the strangers, and all...But I can't just come to the conclusion that it is him. I mean, he couldn't have... But come to think of it, he wasn't at the mansion when I woke up. I never really knew where he disappeared at times. I'm pretty sure it wasn't work....A silent pain echoed in my head, giving me a headache. I let out a sigh, trying to relax myself and calm down my nerves. I knew Sebastian was dangerous, but he couldn't have killed Tristan, right?Gosh... But who would have, then? I mean, it could be anybody, supposing he had an enemy or so, but why die after the incident at the party...?As
