Chapter 24: Goodluck charm
“This man really means business. He's doubling the bet!”“There's a reason why Pedro hasn't lost all these years. He's going to win this time too.”“I feel pity for this new man. He's going to lose all his money.”“He can still change his mind, it's not too late.”Ignoring their remarks, Noah took out ten thousand dollars and placed it on the table. Then, he looked at Pedro. “Are you game?”His determination scared Pedro but he took pride in himself instantly. No one has been able to defeat him for three years now. So, he was positive about it.“Don't you know him?” A woman said suddenly. “It's the man who won against Miss Jennifer in Blackjack!” She said with affirmation. Everyone looked at Noah at the same time and almost immediately, comments started flying from every corner. “Then he might be capable. Winning against Miss Jennifer isn't what we get to see every day.”“And what if he won? That doesn't mean he would win this time around. Sic bo is different and Pedro is known to a
23: Gamble man!
“Will you quit blabbering! We both know that's not possible! Not just anyone can book Aurelia Hall!” Adam snapped. “You now talk of not paying a dime,is that even a thing? Are you not trying to trick us?”“I'm not,” Noah muttered. “And I'm fully aware of what I'm talking about.”Mia scoffed. “For someone that's jobless.”Noah smiled, “It doesn't matter. What does is that I can truly make it work.”Kyle hesitated. He didn't know what to believe but he knew he would be at great advantage if he could celebrate his birthday at Aurelia Hall. Aurelia Hall is currently the talk of the town. Infact, Il Leone casino hosted their end of year party there last year. That's why he found it difficult to trust Noah.He looked at Noah nonetheless. “Are you sure of what you are talking about?”“Yes! I can get you what you truly desire. I only need to go and see my friend. He will do it for us.”“Will you stop that!” Adam shut him up, “Grandfather, don't listen to him! He's obviously lying! He was a wa
22: Suitable Hall
It was very early in the morning when Noah felt a soft hand pat him on the back. Because of the contract between him and Aria, he had to sleep on the mat while Aria slept on the bed.He forced his eyes open, still feeling sleepy. The stress he had put his body through these past few days was finally taking a toll on him. He just wanted to sleep it off.“Noah, get up! It's almost time for breakfast.”Noah closed his eyes for a moment and reopened them. Aria was already dressed in a brown, long, corporate dress that fit her so well, like a second skin, revealing all her curves.“Come on.”Noah got up quickly and rushed into the bathroom. Aria stepped out as Noah entered the bathroom. He walked out a few minutes later and changed into casual jean trousers and a t-shirt.When Noah walked into the dining setting, the whole family was already settled to eat. Only Adam was present however, while his mother was absent.“The son-in-law!” Adam called with sarcasm.Aria waved at him. “Come,” s
21: The Giles family
Noah's ride back to the suite was disrupted by the loud ringing of his phone. It was Aria. Noah didn't pick up until he was in his suite.“Hello.”“It's quarter past nine, Noah. Don't you plan on coming home tonight?”Noah sighed. “Are you going to listen to me now because you didn't even allow me to talk this morning and instead decided to believe what they told you, hook line, and sinker?”“What do you mean?” Aria sounded angry suddenly. “My parents would never lie to me!”“Really?”“I've already paid you half of the money. Don't you ever think of backing out or I will find you!” She threatened again.Noah smiled softly. She had no idea who he really was and that she couldn't really threaten him. If he wanted, he could in fact call off the deal that moment and refund her. But he needed the Giles family now.“Well, I was at your house last night but your parents drove me out.”There was a long pause.“It's ok if you don't believe me. I will do my own side of the deal and I will be at
20: Succession Ceremony
Noah smiled. “Why should I kill one of my elders?”Jennifer whooped with delight.Gilbert laughed. “I told you! The boss isn't someone you should mess with.”Martin placed his head on the floor. “I deserve death for challenging you!”He couldn't have imagined it. He thought the real Cedric was very weak. Jay was very strong and going against him as a weak Cedric would not favour anyone.However, it was clear that he had just made a huge mistake. Cedric was as strong as his father.Noah moved closer, “Arise.”Martin stood up instantly, his eyes full of admiration for Noah. “The real Cedric is strong. You are fit for this position but I'm afraid Jay holds most of the power now.”Noah glanced at Gilbert. “My father's PA?”Martin nodded once. “But he's currently the regent of Cedric. By the end of this year, the succession ceremony will happen and he will cease to be the regent. But even at that, he would hold the overall power as the eldest because of how close he was with Alaric,” he ex
Chapter 19: Accepting the Boss
Kyle sat up, unable to believe what he was hearing.“Y_yes, i_” Aria stammered, too excited to form a correct sentence. “Of course I am ready. In fact, I can sign tomorrow,” she said finally.“Alright, we will be expecting you tomorrow,” the voice at the other end finished and the phone went off.Aria jumped up for joy.“See, father? Adrian boasted. “I told you Aria could do anything she set her mind on. It's not fair for you to make her step down as the CEO.”Kyle nodded several times. “This is good news! And yes, Aria can keep her position and her boyfriend as well,” he nodded as he spoke, a satisfied grin on his face.Adam and Cynthia couldn't talk. They felt cornered.“It's my seventy birthday in a few days now. Can you invite Miss Jennifer as well?” Kyle requested.“Of course!” Aria responded. “Since we would be in partnership then. I'm sure they would surely attend.”“Then we'd better start preparing big. And yes, make sure your husband shows up,” Kyle finally stood and left. He
