Leave that woman to me
The tension immediately skyrocketed, turning hot and as though time had frozen. He was willing to pay double? And the reason was that he wanted to stop Caroline from drinking. Already she had consumed four bottles. To stop her, he wanted to buy all, so the bartender would have none to sell to her. Since he couldn't stop her directly, he would stop her indirectly.Already Caroline was tipsy. She laid her head on the counter, and yet, she was still asking for more drinks.“So will you sell it or not?” David asked staring at the frozen man.“And what do you plan to do? Impress a lady or what?” Suddenly, a man clad in designer casually walked towards them. He had a lean build, tall with a confident posture, and had a strong jawline with smooth skin. His hair is styled in a way that suits his taste, and his eyes sparkle with energy and curiosity.“What are you trying to prove by buying all these drinks?” He asked again, raising a brow at David. He had noticed Caroline for a long time an
Getting drunk in misery
Inside Lavender bar. Caroline sat down beside the counter. Her eyes looked swollen, and it seemed she had been crying for a while, drowning in misery. She couldn't help it. She was the jealous type and now that she knew August was the same man she had always loved, her feelings for him had been skyrocketing.But now it seemed everything was back to haunt her. It seemed how she treated him all those while he was a cripple, perhaps now was payback time. Even though she felt she had no right to complain as he had helped her so much, and saved her life but still, they were married and such a thing should never happen.Throughout the years, she had kept herself pure and never bed a man just because she was waiting for the right person. August seemed to be it but before things could go far, he cheated on her.The more the realization sank in, the more tears flowed down her cheek.“Hey miss, do you want a shot?” The bartender came over after seeing her sitting for a while. He noticed her
Injecting his Qi
“I…” Shadow was about to say something when August spoke again.“If you want to work for me, you have to be transparent with me. And you should know that if by any chance, you betray me, I shall hunt you down and kill you.” Shadow shivered as these words didn't only sound like a threat, it also made him start having daymare in his head where August hunted him down and killed him in the worst way ever.“I won't lie to you. A few days ago, a man came to us offering valerian root with the proposal of helping him kill you so we can get a sum of two million dollars. Also, Richard offered a million to help take you down, and adding to that, we could have gotten three million.“We were blinded by greed and since we would be killing two birds with one stone, we saw it as a good opportunity,” Shadow said nervously making sure to avoid contact. He felt embarrassed since he had to reveal things to his former target.“I see,” August said while staring at him. He could tell Shadow was telling th
Black eye
Two hours later, August arrived at Apex Corporation but all along, his mind had been swirling with the thought of Caroline. How does he get her to believe he had nothing to do with Freya nor was he in a hotel room with her earlier? He had been the captain of dragon regiment for years and solved different issues, yet this one felt like the hardest among all.Perhaps it might be because he was more efficient and focused in battles and there hadn't been a situation where he fell in love until now. So, he didn't fully understand it all.Sighing, he drove into the parking lot before hopping down. He looked at the entrance of his company while using his hand to brush his hair to the front.He began to ponder in his head for a little while. Then he felt the urge to call Caroline again but remembering how David told him to wait, he could only brush the feeling off for the meantime.He looked at the entrance again and this time, he walked into it. The place was still bustling with people, jus
It’s a long story
“Huh? Can’t you be a gentleman and ask nicely? You have been rude to me since we met. Do you know how many men have been dying to drive me in their car? Just a phone call and fifty will line up here!” Freya was pissed by how cold he always was towards her.He was making her doubt if she was beautiful. Or was he out to infuriate her and make her feel she was at her lowest? She couldn’t let him keep stepping on her like she was a mere bug. She had to put him in his place and let him know what he was missing out on.“Why do you sound like you are a public property?” August raised a brow at her. “Fifty men? Hmph! So what? I am married. You should know your boundaries.” He added.His words had a profound meaning that made her freeze for a while regretting why she had used such a term. After a while, she reckoned she couldn’t take back what she said so she could only make a comeback on him.“At least I do know I’m prettier than your wife.” She huffed and looked away as she crossed her ar
Your time is up!
“Wait, August! Don’t leave. We have been wrong about you. Allow me to explain.” Now that August's wealth had been revealed, he was no longer the worthless man whom everyone wanted to neglect and chase out of the family. Apex Corporation was worth ten billion, while Orlando was worth twenty billion.In summary, August was richer than the entire Winston family and could even buy them thirty times more time. Passersby had already started insulting them, calling them fools for not realizing what they were losing and taking for granted.On the other hand, August didn’t stop. He could tell there was a look of regret on their faces, but he didn’t care. They had wanted him out of their lives and even banished him but now that they had discovered he had money, even the prideful Ms Winston thought she could just say a few words, and he would come running back.Isn't that hilarious?“August, wait for me.” Freya followed behind quickly, and before he realized it, she hopped into his car too.
Revealing August identity
Everyone couldn’t believe their ears but as the saying went, seeing was believing. If he couldn’t provide the money then Caroline would remain banished and the company would be taken from her certainly. Besides, they knew that eventually, she would come running to them. After all, they were the family she knew but no one else.“Hmp! August, I hope you are not pulling any tricks here. If this man you call doesn’t end up showing I will be the one to break your teeth myself:” Mark huffed.“Break my teeth? Have forgotten the thorough beating I gave you on the day I went to your house. Do you need me to remind you? Don’t worry, I always know the way to.” August said with a smirk while cracking his knuckles.A glint of fear emerged in Mark's eyes as everything from that days came flooding into his thoughts. His body suddenly hurts for no reason when though it had long passed, and also he had healed from it all.“By the time you don’t provide the money, I’ll see what will happen then.” Rach
Bring me ten million
“Huh? If August can provide ten million, I’ll start laying eggs.” Rachael chimed in and everyone burst into laughter.“And I hope he doesn't steal it from Caroline this time.” Someone added.“Don’t worry he can’t. I’ve been controlling the company for a few hours. No one will go against me and give him that sum of money.” Mark smirked as he spoke. It seemed right after planning with Richard to adduct Caroline, he had gone to the company to take over again.Amusing, isn’t it? It seemed he didn’t learn from the lesson he was taught before. August looked at him with a sharp glint in his eyes.“This is the last time: if you do such a thing again that day will be the last you breathe.” His words sent chills down Mark's spine, but quickly he brushed it off.“If I were you, I’d focus on the task I have been given. Tell me, was that why you were smug just now? Because you thought you could steal from Aurora Corporation and make it look like it’s something you worked so hard on your own for?”
August proposal
August twirled his head to the side, wondering who it might be. The voice sounded feminine so of course he could easily tell it was a girl. “Freya?” His eyes squinted as he remembered who she was. She was Mr. Wang's granddaughter whom he had wanted to hook him up with but sadly even though she was beautiful, he could never have his eyes on her.“I was doubting if it was you. It seems I am right. We didn’t get to talk a lot the other time since you had a lot going on. Are you free? Can we have dinner?” Freya said in anticipation while her eyes glinted with excitement. She had promised her grandfather that she would get him at all costs.That was why, as soon as she saw him, she couldn’t just keep off. He was like a force pulling her in, and she was more than happy to oblige.“You stalked me didn’t you?” August raised a brow at her as that was the only explanation he could come up with.“I…” she rolled her eyes as she stuttered, thinking of an excuse to give, but it was already obvious
