Chapter 0009 - My wife has the authority
This girl was Clara Carmichael, Philip's younger sister and William’s only daughter. She turned on the TV but froze in her tracks at the sight of Chloe and Orion. She couldn’t help but stare. A newscaster reported on Black Mercury’s sudden partnership with the insignificant Carmichael Group. The program also featured photos taken by employees, showing Marcus bowing to Chloe. The sight drew a shocked reaction from the Carmichaels, and, apparently, it was the talk of West Arcadia. Senior Lucius’s attention shifted back to the contract, his aged fingers meticulously tracing its leather edges. It was truly legitimate. His granddaughter’s cleverness had caught Marcus Voss’s eye, and earned her this contract. “Ha, ha,” Senior Lucius laughed, pride gleaming in his eyes. “My own granddaughter did this. Unbelievable. She really is the jewel of the family. Now, it's the Carmichaels time to shine in West Arcadia city!” The rest of the family let out short laughs. Xander’s nose burned w

Chloe wasn’t dumb; the way Orion approached the situation raised her suspicion. First, her family had proposed a nearly impossible task, and he'd been unbothered, certain he could complete it in a single day. Second, when all hope seemed lost, he remained adamant that it would work out—and it did. There was definitely more to this man than met the eye, she could feel it. Orion chuckled, folding his arms. “How? I'm just a lowly servant, hon. I couldn't have possibly done this.”Chloe rolled her eyes. “You stay in a billion-dollar villa and have a personal chauffeur. You also bid for me with a… ouch!” Chloe held her head, staggering slightly as a flash of memory hit her.Her eyes lit up. “Yes, yes, of course! Though it’s a bit fuzzy, I think when I first arrived at the villa, hundreds of armed men tensed up at the sight of you. Also, there was this huge man who spoke to you like a subordinate. You ain't a servant, are you?”Jimmy, who stood close by, sweat profusely like he's the one
Chapter 0007 - Chloe’s suspicious.
Chloe snapped, “Excuse me? I’m not that type of woman.” Her modest response struck a nerve with Lucy. “Oh, so you think you’re better than other women who’ve gotten what they wanted with their looks? Come on, Chloe. You’re gorgeous. Use it to your advantage. Get what your heart desires; we won’t stay young forever, you know.” Chloe’s resolve was firm. “Sorry, I’m married. Plus, there’s no benefit on earth that could make me lower myself to being a director’s bed warmer.” Kane felt insulted. As the director of Black Mercury, he had slept with countless women, offering jobs and partnerships in return. But this second-class nobody had the audacity to remain steadfast in her refusal. It was infuriating. Angrily, he grabbed Chloe’s hand. “Come here!” His eyes were desperate. “Do you have any idea who stood before you? With a single call, I can reduce your entire family to ash. I’m Kane Voss, and everyone in this empire bends to my will. So, what’s it going to be? A night with me, or yo
Chapter 0006 - “Your wife is mine now, dog!”
Early the next morning, Orion’s phone rang. He answered it, greeted by Chloe’s ecstatic voice. “Hey, hon! I got in touch with my classmate, and she helped us secure an appointment with Marcus Voss, the chairman of Black Mercury. Can you believe it? Also, I’ve prepared a business proposal that I’m sure will convince him to give our company the contract. Where are you? Let’s go!” Sitting in the foyer of his villa, Orion took a slow drag from his cigar before extinguishing it in the ashtray. “Wait for me on your porch. I’ll come to pick you up,” he said. Moments later, he stepped out, dressed in a simple outfit and ready to leave. “Where are we going, sir?” Jimmy, already seated in the car, asked. “To my wife. Step on it.” “Yes, sir.” At Chloe’s house, a sleek Mercedes Benz came to a smooth stop. Orion stepped outside, only to stop in his tracks, surprised to find Miriam waiting on the porch instead. Her gaze drifted to the car, then back to him, and her face t
Chapter 0005 — A Pillar has fallen
Tonight was a night of celebration for the Blackwood family. Exodus Corp, their most successful legitimate company to date, had just reached its tenth anniversary. Their patriarch, Senior Richard Blackwood, was also celebrating his 70th birthday, adding even more grandeur to the occasion.A fleet of high-end helicopters landed at the Blackwood estate, and A-list celebrities, politicians, and representatives from the empire’s most prominent families disembarked to partake in the festivities.Inside the manor’s grand foyer, Senior Richard Blackwood sat comfortably, attended by his harem of women, who caressed him and served him champagne. Despite his age, the patriarch appeared sharp and athletic, impeccably dressed in the finest suit money could buy.“Ladies and gentlemen, this is a $31 million Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime wristwatch,” the family’s butler announced from the hall’s podium. “It is a gift from the Morgan family, who wish the Senior prosperity in his new age.”The but

Orion was shoved out of the house afterward by Miriam. “Orion, I’m sorry,” Chloe cried beside him. “I’m so useless, I don’t even have a say in my marriage.” He took her hand gently. “Don’t cry. Grandpa gave us his word. If I secure the contract from Black Mercury, your family will recognize us as husband and wife.” Chloe’s eyes were solemn. “But this is Black Mercury we’re talking about. And a half-a-billion-dollar contract? It’s impossible.” Once a business major, Chloe understood the true weight of his task. Black Mercury Group, the empire’s largest conglomerate, managed assets of hundreds of companies. In the city, the pillars monopolized all of Black Mercury’s contracts, making it nearly impossible for a mere servant like Orion to get even a fraction of that business deal. Orion could only smile. “Nothing’s impossible, darling,” he said. “We’ve got to at least try.” “Wait!” Chloe exclaimed as a memory surfaced. “I remember. An old classmate of mine works at Black Mer
