Aubrey felt it was unbelievable, she turned back and saw a familiar face. In the past months, he was always closing his eyes, laying on the bed like a puppet.
But now, this man stood in front of her. He woke up, he was not a vegetable anymore!
Mrs. Caddel frowned, “Adonis? You woke up?”
She was angry, because if Adonis woke up, then Aubrey should divorce him first, so that she could marry Zayn.
Zayn looked at Adonis with a vicious eyes, he couldn’t accept that before he would succeed to get Aubrey, Adonis appeared and destroyed his plan.
Mrs. Caddel didn’t see Zayn’s eyes. She sneered, “Well, good for you vegetable, finally you woke up. That's a good news, because you had so many debts to be paid...”
Adonis smiled calmly, “Oh really, what debt?”
Mrs. Caddel screamed, “How dare you be so relaxed! 3 years ago you ran away from the wedding, you delayed her for 3 years! You must compensate it!”
Adonis sneered, “Yeah you’re right Mrs. Caddel, but this is what I owed to my wife, it’s none of your business.”
Mrs. Caddel was speechless, she was so angry, “Disrespectful, you are so uneducated! Now I order you to divorce Aubrey, you don’t deserve her!”
“How dare you show up on my birthday party? You are the enemy of the Caddel family!”
Aubrey was so excited, she ignored Mrs. Caddel’s words. She hugged Adonis tightly and said, “Adonis? Is it real? I’m not dreaming, right?”
Adonis slapped on her shoulder slightly, he comforted her gently, “No it’s not a dream, Aubrey. Since I woke up now, let me be your shield and protect you.”
“You shameless! I’m sorry Zayn, it was my fault. But don’t worry, I’ll let them divorce, Aubrey will marry you anyway!” Mrs. Caddel apologized to Zayn, she was afraid that Zayn would refuse to marry Aubrey.
She was hoping Caddel family could benefit a lot from this marriage. After all Zayn’s family controlled many industries, they could earn a lot if they had business cooperation with him.
“Aubrey, stop your shameless hug! You are arranged to be the fiancee of Zayn! So don’t act intimate with some other man!” Mrs. Caddel shouted.
But Zayn interrupted her, he pretended to be humble and polite, “Don’t be mad, Mrs. Caddel. I know that Aubrey must be cheated by this...newly recovered vegetable person. But nevermind, I’ll make him quit.”
Mrs. Caddel smiled, “Oh my god, you’re such a gentle man, Zayn!”
“You’re not like this ungrateful vegetable, he owed us so much but would not compensate!” Her words were so mean.
But Adonis smiled slightly, “Who told you I would not compensate?”
Mrs. Caddel laughed ironically, “You? How? You’ll compensate with your stinky clothes? Sorry, Caddel family is not recycling station!”
“How about 1 billion dollars? Is that enough as a compensation for these 3 years?” Adonis said calmly. He looked at Aubrey, asked her again, “Is it enough?”
Mrs. Caddel thought he was telling a joke, she laughed out of loud, “1 billion? Do you know what dose it mean? How dare a pumpkin speak such non-sense?”
However, at this time, Zayn’s phone rang. He was going to hang it up, but he fount it was his father’s call.
“Hello, father...What? Are you sure?” Zayn was shocked.
Mrs. Caddel stopped insulting Adonis, she asked, “What’s happening, Zayn?”
Zayn was stunned, he said surprisingly, “It’s Majestic Group! They will invest 1 billion dollars in our City!”
The party was silent, then they burst out of cheer.
Mrs. Caddel almost fainted when she heard this notice.
It was Majestic Group! It worth over trillion dollars, a real giant in business! If they could get orders from Majestic Group...
This would be the best opportunity for Caddel family to boom!
Mrs. Caddel was so excited, she asked Zayn, “Is this real, Zayn?”
Zayn smiled, “Of course, my father was the good friend of the CEO of Majestic Group, Mr. Max! This is definitely a real news!”
“Oh my god, Zayn’s father knew that Max?”
“I couldn’t believe it, Aubrey must marry him! Only Zayn could help us to get orders from Majestic Group!”
Zayn enjoyed the admire of these people, as if he was the dominate.
“Did you hear that, Aubrey? You must divorce Adonis and marry Zayn right away!” Mrs. Caddel ordered.
Zayn smiled, “If Aubrey marry me, I will surely speak good for Caddel family. After all, we’re family at that time.”
Mrs. Caddel said sharply, “You hear that? Divorce Adonis today, or you’ll be expelled from Caddel family!”
“Divorce!”
“Divorce!”
Everyone shouted, Aubrey was so terrified.
“Interesting, you said you could get orders from Majestic Group? Is that a difficult mission for you? But I think Aubrey could get orders from Majestic Group, and she dosen't need any help from a nobody.”
Adonis said peacefully, the party was silent.
"What?Mrs. Caddel’s face changed, Zayn’s smile was frozen.What did Adonis said?He could get the order from Majestic Group?And Zayn is a nobody?Everyone at the party burst into laughter, they thought Adonis was telling a bad joke.Zayn was angry, he felt being offended.He pretended a smile and said to Mrs. Caddel, “Madam, I’m sorry I might not stay here anymore. This guy was so impolite, I don’t think he deserves such an educated and beautiful girl like Aubrey.”“I know Aubrey was deceived by this ignorant guy, I believe she would know who was the real good man for her someday. But now, I have to leave.”He faked a smile and left, but when he passed Adonis, his face changed. “You pathetic vegetable man, there is someday I’ll get your wife. And I’ll surely have a great fun with her on the bed...if you wanted our tape, I could send it to you...for free.”He said evilly at a low voice, only Adonis heard his words.Adonis sneered, he ignored Zayn, but he decided that he would kill hi
Looking at Adonis’s confidant face, Aubrey took a deep breath.She has few choices now. Marrying Zayn? Absolutely no! She knew he was just a playboy. He was good at pretending but in upper-class families, it was not a secret.She heard that he even killed several girls that rejected to obey him!But asking money back from Black Tiger? It was like robbing meat from a real tiger!Aubrey hesitated, but when she looked at Adonis’s confidant face, she made the decision.“OK, I’ll go to ask the money back from Black Tiger!”Aubrey’s mother Anna was a coward, she only dared to shouted at Aubrey, but when it came to the family party, she didn’t dare to say a word.Even if when Aubrey was insulted badly, and tried to fight against those unfair treatment, she just hid.When Aubrey promised to ask money back from the Black Tiger, she was terrified.“No, I have to go to find Zayn, he must be helpful. If Aubrey might be harmed by Black Tiger, Zayn wouldn’t let it happen...right, Zayn is the only o
Sam took the phone and his face changed. He picked up the phone with an obedient and timid face. “Boss, yes it’s me...” “What? A man and a lady here? What’s their name...? Adonis Kai and Aubrey Caddel?” Sam’s voice became low and trembling, he felt the two names were so familiar. On the other side, Stella, Aubrey and Adonis all heard the words Sam said. “Wow, it seems Black Tiger has already known who you are! The abandon daughter and her vegetable husband! How dare they come here and show off their strength here?” Stella laughed out of loud. She was sure that Black Tiger was calling because they dared to ask money here. But in fact, Black Tiger heard the voice of Stella, he was almost terrified to death. “You fucking idiot! Who was talking there! How dare you offend that man? You...you’re done, you dared to offend the God...”Black Tiger roared with anger. “But...boss, as you heard, they were just trash...” Sam thought his Boss must be wrong. “Fuck you, Sam, fuck you! If you
“Prepare for departure,” he ordered. Finn took a bow and upstairs. Adonis would be needing a change of clothes and a face mask, Finn knew this already. While waiting for Finn, Adonis couldn’t stop thinking about his family. He barely remembers what they looked like because they died a long time ago. The only person he clearly remembers was the man that nurtured him after his family's death but David killed him too. David killed everyone that he loved and he was going to do the same. He was going to let him shed the tears that Adonis had always shed before he became a general. Becoming a general was the only way he was certain that he was prepared to avenge his family’s death. And he worked his ass out to get to the position that he was in at that moment. He and Finn took a taxi to the Crowne Plaza hotel and Resorts. When they got to the hotel, Kevin was already around. Finn glanced at his watch. “James will be here soon. We have just thirty minutes to do wha
The next day, Aubrey decided to go to Majestic Group's new office here to take a chance. She couldn't believe that she asked the money back with the help of Zayn, so she must prove her ability. The best way was to get an order from Majestic Group. But when Aubrey and Adonis arrived, she felt perturbed She released an exasperated sigh. “I wonder how we are going to get an order. I don’t even think we can get us 5000 dollar order talkless of 20 million dollars. We are just dreaming as Zayn had said.”“Well, I know you can do it.” “No, I can’t. Besides, Zayn knew the Majestic group's owner. How would I get it when he’s currently angry at me? I sincerely can’t afford to leave the company, it’s all I have now,” she expressed. Adonis regarded her for a moment and wondered what was really going on with her. He knew that there were still things that were yet to be revealed to him. “No, I heard it’s a collaboration. Max heads the Majestic group. If we could change Max’s mind. Then, it
“What the fuck are you doing?” Max yelled suddenly as the secretary was about to say a word. “How dare you talk like that to our clients? And so? What if I didn’t give them an appointment? Did you call me to ask?” “I’m so sorry sir, I just thought they were here to beg you for orders.” Actually, Majestic group was just like a collaboration but the main company was one of the biggest companies in the city of Seattle. So, orders are always released at a specific time of the year and most people or companies would do everything to have a share in it. “I’m really going to compensate you for this!” Max snapped angrily and looked at Adonis. “I’m so sorry sir, I assure you that this won’t happen again.” “Well, you shouldn’t be apologising to me, you should be apologising to her,” Adonis gestured to Aubrey. Max looked at Aubrey and smiled. “I assure you that it would never happen again because she’s either going to get suspended or sacked! I will do anything to make sure you feel comfort
Adonis smiled softly. “Seriously?” Aubrey nodded briefly as she read through the news. “How did this even happen?” She murmured in concern. Adonis shrugged briefly and concentrated on the way ahead. It was none of his concern anyway. They arrived home and because they were a bit delayed at the company, Everleigh, Anna and Zyaire were already back from work. Aubrey got down and held the contract so tight with excitement. She waited for Adonis to get down so they could enter the living room together. “Looks like someone is back from work,” Zyaire muttered thickly. Aubrey ignored him and moved closer to Everleigh. “Hi grandmother, I have good news for you!” She announced happily. Everleigh regarded her for a moment, with a dark expression. “Are you here to show me your marriage certificate.” “Good day, ma’am,” Adonis greeted but Everleigh ignored him. Aubrey sighed and stretched out the file with her. “Check it out, and you will see what I mean.” Everleigh regarded it for a mom
Aubrey already accepted what Everleigh had said concerning the fact that it was Zayn that got the contract for them but she didn’t want to let them know she had the same doubt in her mind. She wanted to give it all it takes to stop the family from requesting for her to marry a rich man.“But grandmother, you gave us your word. You are supposed to approve Adonis as my husband,” Aubrey protested.“Like I said Aubrey, I’m not going to give him credit for something that Zayn did. Just get prepared because you will marry Zayn soon,” she finished up and walked away.Anna laughed. “Very funny. I didn’t think you were this crafty. You would actually try to pinch someone's achievement on another? That’s actually too bad.”“I told you mom, that his good-for-nothing husband has nothing to his name,” he laughed again and walked out of the house.Aubrey didn’t want to exchange words with Anna, so she walked out of the house before she would say anything more.Adonis followed her.Aubrey entered the
