Tony still wanted to act smart. The moment the man ordered him to raise his hands and drop the bullet, he began calculating his next move. His mind raced. He knew he had to act fast—if he wanted to overthrow the man, he needed to do something that would make the assassins believe they were in control.

“Come on! I said drop the weapon!”

The chief assassin’s voice rang out, high-pitched and sharp, cutting through the tension.

Tony and Jeff exchanged one last look. Jeff’s eyes were pleading, silently telling Tony to obey, to stay calm and not make things worse. But Tony’s look said otherwise. His eyes were steady, determined. He was going to fight back.

And that was exactly what he did.

Tony began lowering his gun, appearing to comply with the assassin’s command. He moved slowly, deliberately, giving the impression that he was surrendering. The chief assassin’s eyes followed his every move, suspicious and alert. He didn’t want Tony to make any sudden mistake.

    Aria didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she stood still, her gaze fixed on the shadow cast on the wall. The silence stretched between them, heavy and deliberate. Anyone watching her at that moment could see it — the quiet fire of determination burning deep within her. Still unconvinced by Aria’s sudden cold demeanor, Melanie stepped closer, worry creasing her face. “Is anything wrong, Aria? I asked you a question. Are you okay at all?” Aria turned slightly, her expression unreadable. “Of course, I’m okay! I’m perfect. And yes, I heard what you said.” Melanie exhaled sharply. “Then you don’t mind answering the question I’ve been asking?” Aria arched a brow. “You mean the one about what else I’m going to do at the party?” Melanie nodded eagerly. “Yeah! I’m curious. You haven’t shared it with me, and I want to know what it is you plan to do.” Aria turned fully toward her this time, a faint, knowing smile tugging at her lips. “I wish I could tell you, Melanie,” she said, her ton

  • 109. What Else Are You Planning To Do?

    Aria took a careful look at Melanie. That question — the one she never expected — struck a nerve.And at that moment, it wasn’t something she was ready to share. At least not yet.Melanie, still puzzled by her silence, leaned forward.“Why aren’t you responding? Are you not going to tell me your husband’s name? Let’s know what he looks like, his status, his background… just to see if he’s even up to the standard of the Acosta family!”Aria shook her head slowly. She had already predicted this. If it wasn’t Melanie asking, it would’ve been someone else. The moment anyone heard about her marriage, the first thing they would want to know was who her husband was — and of course, how wealthy he might be.It was always the same question.But right now, Aria wasn’t ready to give that answer.Taking a steady breath, she finally said, “Let’s leave my husband’s name and his status for now, Melanie. What matters most at this moment is how he’ll be introduced. That should be our priority, not any

  • 108. I Want To See Him!

    Melanie could hardly believe what she just heard from Aria. She blinked twice, letting out a short, awkward laugh. “I know you’re joking, right?” she said, half chuckling, half confused. “I mean, you can’t be serious at all with this. Tell me I’m right?”But Aria only shook her head, her expression firm.“I’m not fuckin’ with you right now, Melanie,” she said, her tone sharp and steady. “I know exactly what I’m saying. I’m married — and I’ve been married for a while now.”Melanie froze, her jaw slightly open as she scratched her head in disbelief. Her thoughts ran wild, questions piling up faster than she could process them.“You can’t be serious right now, Aria,” she said, her voice rising with confusion. “There’s no way you’re telling me this. That’s… that’s something I can’t even wrap my head around! When did you get married? How did you get married? And most importantly — who did you get married to?”She shook her head rapidly, as if trying to clear the fog of disbelief. “And abov

    “As of now, my only strategy—the one thing I’m holding firmly onto—is the fact that I am the representative CEO of ABC,” Aria began, her voice steady but her eyes sharp. “Being the representative CEO means I have certain rights similar to the actual CEO’s. Not entirely equal, of course, but at least I’ll have access to things I couldn’t before.”Melanie folded her arms, listening intently as Aria continued.“My grandfather managed that company all by himself,” Aria said. “He did everything possible to make sure it survived through every challenge. Now imagine, after all that effort, another person steps in to take over—and we don’t even know who this person is. What if he’s a bad person? What if he dies suddenly? I don’t get it, Gurl, but let me set the facts straight—I cannot sit back and watch my grandfather’s company get buried like that. This is something he sweated for!”Melanie nodded slowly. She understood exactly what Aria meant.She had seen it all growing up—the effort, the

  • 106. What's Your Plan?

    Aria froze as she called that name. For a moment, she couldn’t believe what her eyes were seeing. Standing right there before her was her best friend—Melanie!Her heart skipped a beat as she stared in disbelief. “Melanie? Mela…” she said softly, almost as if trying to convince herself that it was truly her.Melanie was more than just a friend—she was like a sister to Aria. She had always been the confident one: chubby but not fat, a pretty face, a nice curve, long flowing hair, and those captivating black eyes that always seemed to draw attention. Her seductive figure hadn’t changed one bit.Aria and Melanie had shared almost everything growing up. They attended the same elementary school, the same high school, and even graduated together from university before Melanie left abroad to pursue her master’s degree. And now, after all these years—she was back!Aria’s shock melted instantly into joy. She jumped out of bed and rushed straight toward Melanie, wrapping her in a tight embrace.
