"The Japanese team were very clear, sir. They specifically requested Miss Wayne to be around for all future meetings."The leader of the strategy team, Jack, explained, reading directly from the email on his tablet.Lucius leaned back in his chair, "Is that a request, or a condition?"Jack smiled awkwardly."Well....It sounds more like a strong preference, sir," He said."Chairman Takahashi appreciated the personal interaction. He noted that translation software lacks emotions. And he specifically mentioned that your uncle Roland's AI program during the project pitch felt too cold and robotic, which made him uncomfortable. Chairman Takahashi wants a human connection. He wants Alura."A small smirk stuck on Lucius's lips, he felt an edge of satisfaction. Uncle Roland was already at a huge disadvantage. He had tried to use the Takahashi challenge to steal the CEO position, but he had no Japanese speaker on his team. He was relying on his newly built translator software. But Lucius h

"Are we leaving or not?" Grey yelled out from the hallway downstairs.He was waiting for Abigail by the hallway, they were about to go to his mom's place.Elena, his mom, had invited him and Abigail for a mandatory visit since he refused to ever visit her and his sister Vanessa he probably forgot they exist.He didn't want to go at first, especially with Abigail, both is mom and Vanessa hated Abigail and they would always say hurtful things to her no matter how many times he warned them. So he wasn't ready for any of their drama, but Abigail insisted on going. She had always ignored their hateful words to her and now she insisted on going for the visit even when she knew exactly what would happen.But now she was taking so much time preparing, Grey began to wonder if she had grown cold feet, after all he tried to persuade her not to go in the first place.He stood by the front door, checking his watch with an annoyed expression.Abigail stopped at the top of the stairs. She felt her

"What do you mean, you can't Find her!" Roland's voice echoed in his private study. He slammed his fist down hard on the desk, rattling his crystal whiskey glass. "I'm paying you millions of dollars, yet you tell me she doesn't exist? how can a woman just not exist?" Roland snapped. The leader bounty hunter stood across the room. He did not flinch at his rage, "She is practically a ghost, Mr. Hunt. We've scrubbed every database. We ran facial recognition on every woman Lucuis has ever been seen with. She has no social media presence. There is practically no link between Lucius and any woman. Neither has there been any sightings of him at any courthouse." Roland stood up and paced the length of the room. He gripped the back of his neck, his face red with fury. "You are wrong, she does exist, he's just Soo good at hiding her. The bounty was supposed to smoke her out. I thought someone would eventually talk for a hundred million dollars." "The Takahashi project news is flooding ev

Audrey Stevenson stood on the sidewalk and stared up at the towering glass front of the building. She checked the address on her phone, frowned, and looked back up. This had to be a mistake.She had expected Alura to be living in some rundown, cramped apartment complex on the bad side of Cedarville. That was where girls like Alura belonged. But this building had a doorman. It had polished brass handles and a shining marble lobby.Audrey pushed through the doors, her heels clicking sharply against the floor. The doorman smiled and directed her to the elevators. As she rode up to the fifteenth floor, a sour taste coated the back of her throat.She knocked on the wooden door of unit 15B.The door swung open. A girl with short, pink-dyed hair and a silver nose ring stood there, wearing an oversized graphic t-shirt and a dark scowl.Audrey forced a bright, perfectly practiced smile. "Hi there. I am looking for Alura? I am her best friend, Audrey."Nessa took one long, unimpressed look at A

Audrey sat on the floor of her living room, surrounded by papers.Her laptop glowed brightly in the dimly lit apartment. The screen was filled with tabs. Dozens of them. All about Lucius Hunt.Since her visit to Alura’s apartment, Audrey had done nothing but research. She already knew the basics, of course. Everyone in Cedarville knew who Lucius Hunt was. But now, she read everything she could get her hands on.She scrolled through financial reports detailing his staggering net worth. She read profiles about his background and his ruthless rise to the top. She scanned gossip columns talking about his untouchable reputation. He was cedarville's ice prince. And he had been strictly celibate since his broken engagement three years ago.Audrey clicked on a gallery of photos.She stared at the screen, her lips parting slightly. He was, without a doubt, really handsome and hot. The sharp jawline, the cat shaped dark eyes, the broad shoulders, the long hair, tailored suits and patek wrist wa
