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 one who could help!” Anna thought, ignoring Adonis.
...
Under the building of Black Tiger’s company, Aubrey took a deep breath. She looked at Adonis, reminding him, “Black Tiger is a very dangerous man, so just remember do not offend him, even if he insulted you, or me...”
Adonis smiled and nodded.
Black Tiger dared to insult him?
It was a good joke.
Just when they were enter the building, a car stopped beside them.
“Wow, isn’t this our princess born in wealthy family? I heard that you were expelled from your family and had to ask money from Black Tiger? So poor...” A mean girl got off from the car, she had a heavy make up on her face.
Aubrey frowned, she looked at her, “Stella? What are you doing here?”
Stella was her secretary when Aubrey was still the CEO of Omnilert, but now everyone knew Aubrey lost her power and right, so she became so mean to her.
Stella smiled, she looked at Aubrey and made a provoking smile, “Why am I here? I’m here to find my boyfriend, he is the manager of Black Tiger’s company...”
Aubrey’s face changed, she knew that things wouldn’t be going to well, but...she didn’t think there were so many difficulties.
She knew the manager, his name is Sam Brandt, he was a very difficult person.
Stella looked at Adonis, he had a good shape and figure. Stella smiled, “Is this your vegetable husband? Good for him, but it’s not enough for a man that only has handsome face and good muscles...”
“If I were you, I wouldn’t go into Sam’s office. Instead, I would leave right away...before he was irritated...”
She left with an arrogant laugh, leaving Aubrey worried.
“It’s done, we could never ask money back from Black Tiger. Stella hated me, she would never let us succeed...”
Adonis slapped her shoulder slightly, “Come on Aubrey, we can not surrender before we tried.”
Aubrey looked at his confidant face, she nodded and walked into the building.
Standing in front of Sam’s office, Aubrey took a deep breath and knocked the door, no one replied.
She opened the door, it was a very spacious office.
A man was sitting on the chair, kissing the girl who sat on his legs.
His hands were all over her body, the girl made some strange voice.
Seeing this scene, Aubrey was shocked. But Adonis sneered, he cleared his throat, which reminded the two someone came in.
As two uninvited guests, they made Sam furious. “Who dared to disturb me? Didn’t you see I’m busy here?”
The girl sat on his legs was exactly Stella, she looked at the two and sneered, “You are so brave, I told you that if you were clever enough, you would have left early. It seems you’re not clever, Aubrey.”
Sam frowned, he asked Stella, “You know them?”
Stella hugged his neck, said with a seductive voice, “Yes dear, that girl is Aubrey Caddel, she’s here to ask the money back. She said you should pay her for that order happened last year.”
She giggled, as if she was telling a joke.
Sam smiled evilly, “Pay the order? When we had cooperation? I don’t remember I’ve met such a beautiful girl last year...If I did, I would never delay the payment...”
He touched Stella’s leg, added, “As long as you sleep with me for one night!”
Aubrey felt so humiliated, but she said, “Sir, I’d like to ask our money back, you need to pay for that order. We have the contract...”
“A contract? Where is it? Did you bring it under your clothes?” Sam pushed Stella away and walked to Aubrey with a lustful smile. “Let me find it...”
Aubrey was terrified, she stepped back to avoid Sam. But at this time, a man stepped forward in front of her.
It was Adonis.
He sneered and said, “Sam Brandt? You’re the one who has the final say here?”
Sam was furious, “Who are you, punk? How dare you stand here? Kneel down!”
Stella joined Sam and scolded, “How dare you speak to Sam like this? Of course he’s in charge here!”
Adonis said indifferently, “Oh, I thought this is Black Tiger’s company, since when you’re the master here?”
Sam sneered, “I...”
However, at this time, his phone rang.
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
Adonis heard the gunshot and then Finn fell into his arms. They both went down to the floor because of Finn's weight and the fact that he collapsed. It was the second time he would be watching his beloved shot. His blood boiled with rage but he knew that he had to leave before anything else. He had to make the plan work. That aside, Finn must not die! “Your heirloom is with me, Adonis but you will never be able to touch it. Well,” there was this satisfied grin on his face. “Dead men don't talk or do they?” Adonis's eyes became red as he watched David as if to jump on him and squeeze his neck or snap his head off. The siren of cars from outside actually pulled David to a stop. David looked back at the men. “Keep your weapons!” he ordered and the men complied immediately. He didn't want the police to see that he had more guns than usual. Though, he has been given the chance to own one. The door opened suddenly and several men rushed inside. But the only thing was that they weren't
