Baroness Goes On A Strike の小説・ストーリー

"You think I’m seducing you?" "You know you are." He leaned in, his lips brushing against my ear. "Is it working?" I shoved him away, trying to ignore the way my entire body betrayed me. "I’m still mad at you." He chuckled. "Of course, you are." I lifted my chin. "You’re hiring her back." He shook his head. "Not happening." I placed my hands on my hips. "Then I’m going on a strike." He looked amused. "A strike?"

And with all those burdens in her heart, she missed Dalton too even if she wouldn't accept it. The fear that she might never see him again also clung to her heart, and caused an ache that refused to go even if she tried to wade the thoughts away. It brought near tears to her face too because it was too sad for her to handle the turmoil her life was going through. She just had to be strong. Back at the Millers mansion were extravagant and opulent preparations for the anniversary which was being supervised by Eleanor Miller, who was now officially working with Hamilton to get evidence against Ariana.

"Even if you're the Madre, you don't get to pull a gun on him for no reason. You're challenging the Don's authority." I looked at her and couldn't help but laugh. I raised my hand, ready to slap her, but Domenico, who had been silent until now, caught my wrist. "Basta, Valentina Rossi! Stop causing a scene. We were only discussing work." His gaze turned cold when he looked at me. "You can't throw a tantrum whenever you please." Then he shoved me forcefully, sending me stumbling into the table's sharp corner. Blood trailed down my forehead, blurring my vision.

"Exactly. She went to the palace to plead with His Majesty. When he didn't agree to rescind the marriage edict, she resorted to this method to pressure you into abandoning your marriage with General Yates. That woman is evil." Barrett immediately spurred his horse back home, heading straight for Grace Mansion. As a general, Barrett naturally had formidable combat skills. The gates of Grace Mansion couldn't stop him. He kicked open the doors and stormed in to find his wife enjoying a bowl of watercress soup. Lulu had made it fresh with the watercress she picked to calm Carissa's nerves. Barrett swept away the porcelain bowl in front of his wife with one hand, causing it to crash loudly onto t

The kind of woman who didn’t wait for anyone’s approval. For once, I wasn’t dressing for Lester. I was dressing for myself. When I walked into the hotel bar, the air felt alive. Soft jazz played in the background, and the clinking of glasses blended with low conversation. The place smelled faintly of whiskey , elegant and a little dangerous and I felt Out of place. I took a seat at the bar, crossing my legs and pretending my pulse wasn’t racing. I wasn’t here for love. I wasn’t here to flirt, not really. I was here to take back something Lester had stolen from me.

she muttered. Adrian chuckled. “Would you expect anything less?” She exhaled, pushing back her hair as the wind tugged at it. “Let’s just get this over with.” As they walked toward the villa, Adrian’s assistant, a no-nonsense woman named Evelyn, approached them. “The storm is expected to hit within the next few hours,” she informed Adrian. “We’ve secured everything, but I’d recommend staying indoors.” Adrian nodded. “Good. Have the staff take the night off.”

Crystal flagged down a taxi, she had arrived in Rafael's car yesterday and hers is still packed at her house, she got to the miller's corporation just when he was coming out of the building and she quickly walked up to him brazenly "Do you think playing that dirty tricks on me will scare me?" she fumed " I don't think I know what you mean" his calm reply made her clench her fist, he turned to the two security guards standing close "Excuse us for a moment" "Yes boss" they answered in unison as they left them alone "Why? Are you ashamed to discuss your deed in front of them?" "I repeat, I don't know what you're talking about" "You don't even have the dignity to admit your crime, you play shady

Adrian threatened me, that was one thing he had never done, but he did it because of Victoria. She was smiling at me, telling me that she couldn't wait to work with him, but I could see through her facade. She wasn't going to stay here long, I was going to make sure of that. When I was done with her, she would take her bastard son and flee in the middle of the night. The next day, I came to work very early, but she wasn't in yet. Yet that's how it is when you are the boss. The strange girl, Emily, the beautiful, awkward girl, was already in.

"Eve has strong backing. Even the professors would stake their reputation on her. What else wouldn't she dare to do? This matter today is no longer just a personal grudge between Eve and me. It's the people standing up to corrupt businesses! I urge everyone to be as brave as I am. Stand up and expose them all! Justice must be served!" I snickered at her performance. What a riveting one. No wonder she was an influencer. I had to give it to her. Her words created a huge ripple. My phone rang. My father spoke urgently as I picked up, "Eve, what's happening at your school? Countless customers are flooding our official website right now, calling us profiteers feeding on human suffering! They're d

But sometimes, even when you try to avoid trouble, it finds you because other people won't leave you alone.
