Aubrey couldn't stop thinking about what Zyaire said. And the fact that Adonis suddenly disappeared from the company got her worried.Could what Zyaire had said be the case? Could Adonis have left? He could have been dealt with by Next and maybe he got angry and decided not to have anything to do with her. The thought alone hurt her. Maybe it was because her grandmother would eventually be able to impose a husband on her and that was what she hated the most.Adonis was the only way out but it seems like all hope was eventually lost.She pulled to a sudden stop at one of the fancier restaurants in Seattle, 'The lord of the meal'. She actually felt exhausted and she didn't even know what she was supposed to do when she got home. Well, her family would be waiting to taunt and impose their orders on her.She didn't want to think of it at that moment and she didn't want to go to the bar. Who knows? She might run into Zayn again."Get down," a deep voice reached her ears. She went still fo

Aubrey awoke with a terrible sense of doom. She opened her eyes slowly and discovered she was in a strange room.How did she get there? Realization hits in harder. It was fast and Aubrey could clearly remember everything that happened. She thought the thugs were gone, at least that's what they did when the security guards were coming near.After seeing that the whole place was cleared, she decided to eat at the restaurant after all. But the moment she opened the door, she felt strong arms around her and a drugged handkerchief ok her nose. Its scent was overwhelming and she didn't remember anything after that… She clearly passed out.Aubrey clenched her fist in anger and tried to get up. She realised she couldn't as it felt like her body was glued to the chair."Zayn!" She yelled. "This isn't funny anymore! You won't have me here!" She yelled in anger but there was no response.Instead, her voice echoed throughout the whole room.She struggled with the rope that was tied around her.

After some minutes, Aubrey found her sanity and pulled back. She still felt pained but she didn't want Adonis to see her as being weak.“I thought you changed your mind about being my contradicted boyfriend.”Adonis smiled slightly. “Why would I do that? We had an agreement. I will not leave like that.”Aubrey looked away, feeling a bit of happiness. She hadn't thought that Adonis would stay after being beaten in section C. Zaire and Anna would be very disappointed to see him again.“You are right,” she muttered and looked at him again. “There's no way you would do that anyways,” she didn't want to apologise or sound sympathetic. “Lie down, Aubrey. You need a lot of rest,” he pulled her back to the bed.But Aubrey was bothered about her grandmother. EverLeigh would be so angry if she didn't go back home that night.“Grandmother would be angry.”“Didn't you tell her about what you want if you agree to see the investors? You will be fine with that.”Aubrey's heart skipped suddenly. Thi

Adonis barely sat when he received a message that his attention was needed at section C. He knocked on the door.“Who's there!” a deep snarl sounded from inside.Adonis released a sigh. “Adonis. Adonis Kye!”There was a hesitation and then the door opened. “Adonis!” there was excitement in his voice. “Come on,” he stepped outside for Adonis to enter. “I'm sorry for the responded the other time,” he led him to his desk and even pull out a chair for him. “Please sit.”Adonis looked at him. “Why did you call me here?”“I-,” Nex's voice trailed off as he turned around, towards his chair while he quickly thought of a nice excuse.“The truth, Nex,” Adonis stressed. “ If you lie, I will know sooner than later and you will have to die by then,” he threatened in a thick voice.Nex swallowed harder and turned to look at him. “I'm going to say everything. Please, don't say that” he beseeched softly and went to sit. “Zyaire called me actually, that day because he wanted us to treat you to a grea

The family of Caddel gathered around to discuss the next day as unforeseen circumstances had befallen them. The company was suddenly on the verge of going bankrupt. The banks that they own and promised to pay back yearly suddenly demand their whole money back at once. This was all David Laurier's work but no one knew."At this stage, I sincerely don't think we can depend on Max's 20 million order because we might end up spending all the money to pay back loans and we still wouldn't be able to save the company from bankruptcy. What should we do?" Anna explained."Don't you think we need to find out why all this happened to us suddenly? Don't you think it could be Zayn?" Zyaire muttered and looked at Aubrey. "Maybe he's angry again.""What do you mean by that?" Aubrey fired back.Zyaire shrugged slightly. "Well, it was because of you that he got kicked out of the Majestic group, and even though he's still rich without the popular group, he might want to get back at us for it!" He stated
