Semua Bab The Billionaire’s Vow: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Adrian’s POVThe sharp click of my Italian leather shoes echoed through the marble floors of my penthouse office.I loosened my tie and slid into the chair behind my desk. Within seconds, the glass door opened.“Good morning, Mr. Knight,” Timothy said as he stepped inside, tablet in hand and already scrolling through notes. Sharp suit, punctual as always. I hired him for his competence, not his charm.“Timothy,” I greeted with a nod. “Sit. We’ve got work.”He took the chair opposite mine and handed me the tablet. “Three pressing items for today: The Singapore merger, the acquisition meeting with HunterTech, and a media response about your recent absence from the gala.”I scoffed. “I don’t care what they print. As long as our stock is stable and the board is satisfied, the press can cry about it over cocktails.”Timothy chuckled lightly, then quickly composed himself. “Understood. Starting with Singapore, the legal team flagged a clause in the contract about offshore profit restriction

Aurora’s POV "Why are you acting like that kiss was special? I know you're just fooling around with me so cut the crap!" He frowned at me as his jaw evidently flexed. "Where the f"ck did you get that idea?" How dare he asked me that?! "You don't know? That's what you're doing since the first time we've met. You never listened to me. You never followed any of my orders. You treat me like you're just fooling around-" "I'm not fooling around with you" His voice was stern and his eyes held honesty. I didn't know how I could tell that but I could see it clearly in his eyes. I didn't know how to respond. So what if he was just fooling around? Why did I even tell him that in the first place? I sounded like a woman who was confessed to by her admirer. He didn't even say anything whether he likes me or not. I shouldn't've really allowed that kiss to happen. How can I face him now without remembering what the kiss made me feel? I wanted to laugh. Adrian isn't even my boyfriend but I let

Aurora’s POV "Ouch. And I even thought that we're still friends" She said, obviously taunting me. Adrian remained quiet while staring at me. He has an unreadable expression on his face. "What do you want, Serena?" I asked with a stoic face and crossed my arms across my chest. "Ahm, nothing really. What about you? Why are you here?" "Have you gone senile or what? Of course I'm here because this is my family's ranch, what else?" I retorted sarcastically. "Oh? Why are you here in this part of the ranch then? Why don't you just go away and leave us in peace?" She was looking at me like I was a pest in front of them and I didn't like it. I gritted my teeth. G "You don't have the right to tell me what to do, Serena. Remember that you're in my territory so shut the f*ck up" I said with my head held high. I shifted my gaze to Adrian who was still quietly standing next to Serena. Our eyes met and I swallowed hard as I noticed how cold his eyes were. I didn't know why but I really

Aurora’s POVI was tossing and turning on my bed. I groaned in frustration because no matter how hard I tried to sleep, I couldn't do it. It's been almost four hours since I lied on my bed but I couldn't even get a blink of sleep. My mind was wandering around. I tentatively touched my lips. Not matter how many times I tried to forget about that punishing kiss Rex gave me this afternoon, it kept on replaying on my mind.I felt like I could still feel his warm lips moving against my lips and no matter how many times I tell myself not to think about it and just forget it, I couldn't do it. Adrian really is a dangerous guy and I'm really afraid of him. Afraid that I couldn't say no whatever he would do to me. Little by little, he already has managed to wake up the hidden wildness inside of me. I already promised to distance myself from him but I found it really hard to do that.I couldn't believe that a person that's almost a stranger to me has this control over me and I hate myself becau

Aurora’s POVI gingerly knocked at the door of my father's office. He had been there the whole day and I wanted to check on him. He wasn't the type to just stay in his office the whole day. He didn't even come home to eat lunch. It's already 3 pm."Come in" I heard him say from the inside. I opened the door and I saw him talking to Mr.James. He was the head of the employees at the accounting department . They looked like they were discussing something important. I was about to say to my dad that I'll just come back later when Mr.James stood up. It looked like they already finished talking. James bid his goodbye to us and then went out of the office."Why are you here, chérie? I thought you're going to go out with Rachel today?" My daddy asked me the moment we're alone. Yes, Rachel and I had a plan to go out today but she cancelled it the last minute because her cousin Serena came over to her place again and insisted for Rachel to go somewhere with her instead."We cancelled it.
