42.Bianca paced to and forth in the living room as she waited for her father's arrival. She had been waiting to tell him about what Aiden said and also make sure he explained things to her, but he hadn't been around.He had told her he was coming home today and she had been anxiously waiting. She heard the sound of the door and quickly rushed to get it.“Dad, welcome.” she greeted him and he nodded.He walked into the house and took a seat. She took a seat facing him, dabbing her fingers together as she stared at him.“I want to hear good news, Bianca. Were you able to secure the deal with Aiden?” he asked curtly.Bianca's face fell, and she shook her head. “No, Dad. He refused to work with us.” she answered with a frustrated sigh.Mr. Sullivan's expression turned dark. “What did he say?”Bianca took a deep breath before recounting her conversation with Aiden. Mr. Sullivan's face grew angrier with each passing moment.“When I asked him why, he said it was because of your business pra

44.That night…Samantha stood in the bathroom as Aiden's words kept coming back to her. She wondered what he meant by playing by his rules this time. She hadn't been this nervous in her life. With a sigh, she poured water on her face and stepped out of the bathroom. Aiden was busy working on his laptop, and she wondered if he ever stopped to rest for once.She leaned on the wall, her arms crossed as she watched how his hands moved swiftly over the keyboard. He was so focused, so determined. She couldn't help but feel a twinge of admiration for him.As if sensing her gaze, Aiden looked up and caught her staring at him. He smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “Hey,” he said, his voice low and husky. “I didn't know you were done in the bathroom.”Samantha shrugged, feeling a blush rise to her cheeks. “Yeah, I was just… admiring your focus,” she said, trying to sound nonchalant.Aiden chuckled and leaned back in his chair, his eyes never leaving hers. “I'm just trying to get every

46.After the judges asked the contestants questions and they were able to answer, the host came up to close the show for the day."So that is it for the presentation of the cars, people. The competition is tough as various contestants have showcased what their car can do but it is not up to us to know which car is best, it's up to the judges. That's it for today. The winners will be announced tomorrow. Until then, see you all and enjoy your stay in Detroit!!!" she announced and the audience cheered.When they returned backstage, Samantha faced Aiden. "When did you add that feature to the car, Aiden? And you didn't even tell me." she asked, the shock still evident on her face.Aiden chuckled and shrugged his shoulders. "I added it a few weeks ago, Sam. I wanted it to be a surprise. I knew you'd be impressed."Samantha shook her head, still trying to process what she had just seen. "Impressed? Aiden, that's an understatement. I'm shocked. How did you even manage to do it without me kno

48.“First place and winner of the 2023 Detroit Car show award goes to…"Darcel stepped forward with a smile on her face as she waited for her name to be called.“Salvador Group!” The chief judge announced, and Samantha was stunned. “What!” she exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock. “We won? We actually won?” she couldn't believe this.“I knew we could do this.” Aiden smiled. Samantha was so overwhelmed with happiness that she hugged him without realizing it.“Aiden, we did it!” she exclaimed and he smiled.Darcel's smile faltered, her eyes widening in shock too. “They won? How the fuck did they win?”“Samantha Salvador and Aiden Callymore, please come forward for your award!”Darcel's face turned red with rage as she stepped forward, her voice loud and shrill. “This is impossible! There's no way they could have won! I demand a recount!”The chief judge looked at her sternly. “I'm afraid there's no need for a recount, Darcel. The results are clear. The Salvador Group won fair and squ

50.Samantha was able to escape Aiden's grip and crossed her arms as she stared at him. Aiden stared back at her, looking so innocent that she couldn't help but scoff. “How can you look so innocent after what you just tried to do?” she questioned.Aiden shrugged, his expression smug. “What? I did nothing wrong. What's wrong in trying to kiss my wife?” he asked and she snorted.“Kiss? Your wife?” she sighed. “Is that why you faked being exhausted? You're quite a good actor. I could see it clearly on your face and can't believe I actually fell for it.” she rolled her eyes and took a seat on the bed.Aiden smiled and walked to where she sat, bending to her level. “I'm actually exhausted, wifey.”Samantha scoffed. “I'm not your wife, sir. We aren't even married yet, and you're acting like this. I wonder what's going to happen after we get engaged.” she shuddered and Aiden couldn't help but let out a chuckle.“You're about to become my wife, so you might as well get used to me calling you
