"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 him one day.
He will never allow someone to have bad ideas on his wife.
Seeing Zayn leaving, Mrs. Caddel was furious, “You son of bitch! How dare you destroy the marriage of Aubrey and Zayn! You killed the possibility that we become tier-1 family in Seapool City! You could never compensate what you did even if you die!”
The rest members of Caddel started to accuse Adonis too, but inside they took a relief. If Aubrey married Zayn, all of them will be punished because insults to Aubrey.
Adonis looked at Mrs. Caddel calmly, “Madam, why don’t you trust Aubrey? She could get the order from Majestic, you have my words.”
“Your words? Words from a bastard worth nothing! You’d better kneel to Zayn and beg him to turn back, you should send your wife to his bed on yourself! Only in this way you could compensate your faults!” Mrs. Caddel barked, she was furious.
“So, what she should to to make you believe that Aubrey could get orders from Majestic?” Adonis asked calmly.
Mrs. Caddel sneered, “She? She worked for Omnilert for years and she didn’t even ask our money back from Black Tiger! She is just useless!”
Aubrey explained anxiously, “But I told you that Black Tiger would not pay us when you decided to cooperate with him! I warned you but you said his bid was the highest! Everyone knows he can’t be trusted, why should I be the one to blame?”
Mrs. Caddel sneered, of course she knew Black Tiger, a notorious gangster couldn’t be trusted, but greed led her to a wrong decision.
Surely she wouldn’t admit she was wrong, so Aubrey became the one who was blamed.
Adonis slapped Aubrey’s head slightly, “So, if we could ask the money back from Black Tiger, you would trust Aubrey could get orders from Majestic and would never force her to marry Zayn?”
Mrs. Caddel sneered, “You’re so ignorant, she could ask the money back from Black Tiger? This is the funnest thing I heard ever!”
“Just tell me your answer.” Adonis said confidently.
“OK! If she could ask the money back from Black Tiger, I could give her a chance...she could be the CEO of Omnilert again!” Mrs. Caddel sneered, “But if she failed...well, maybe she could not come back safely.”
“It’s a deal.” Adonis said, but Aubrey was afraid.
“Adonis, we can’t go to Black Tiger, you don’t know who he was...he controlled the most gangsters in this city, they’ll kill us...” She said with tears in her eyes.
“Don’t worry Aubrey.” Adonis held her hands and said gently, “Trust me, I’ll help you to get the money back.”
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
Three cars were heading inside Laurier's garage. Adonis and Finn pulled themselves under two of the cars so it could drive them in. So, they would enter unnoticed.Several men got down from the car. They teamed up together to do some things before they disappeared.Adonis and Finn released their hold on the car and rolled out from under the car. They had their face mask on, so in case there was a CCTV camera anywhere.The whole place was eerily silent as if they were expecting them. But that wasn't possible. Adonis didn't leave any trace and there was no way they would have discovered it was him.They walked towards the door, just in time for someone to open the door. Adonis caught him quickly before he would be able to turn back and run away.Adonis turned him around quickly and covered his mouth with his palm to prevent him from screaming.He slowly moved his mouth to his ear. “Where is David Laurier?”The man didn’t answer until Adonis withdrew his gun and touched his face with it
