Darls' POV
"How dare you speak of that?"Olivia growled, punching me on the shoulder, and I chortle. She doesn't know how cute she is, looking so feisty."We welcome you all once again to the fifth edition of the charity auction."The host announced it, and everyone applauded. The stage was cleared, and the first item for auction was displayed.It was a famous painting from ancient times. The portrayal of a pale white jadeite drawn in an oval form that's placed in a wooden bowl on the riverAccording to the history of this certain painting, it took eight years to paint, and the particular artist who created this design,Had done it during the period when the North Americans suffered tragically. Jade was a precious stone for the Mesoamericans.And at that time, they had no choice but to give out their mineral resources forAuthor's pov"Oh my, it's Livia; why didn't you inform us you were getting married? Besides, you already know we would have wholeheartedly supported you."Cynthia wailed out like a proud mom. She goes closer to hold Olivia's hands, but Darls, being the sharp-eyed CEO, quickly realizes her next actions, so he moves his hands to hold Olivia's.Cythian, embarrassed, took several steps back. She did not dare argue with the affluent CEO."Oh, son, you are being too protective. Haha, I was only going to hold her; after all, she's my daughter."Cynthia added, but Darls only scoffed in response."Son?" he spoke."Who are you calling, son?" He questions.It felt as if Ishehad to find a hole to hide inside at Darl's blatant rejection. Seeing his wife in a difficult situation, Jaxon intervenes."Of course, you are our son. You married our daughter, which automatically makes you our son."Jaxon explains. Darls chuckled, and he stared at him like a joke."I don't remember Olivia being your daughter
The car drove into the parking lot. Darls didn't wait for the bodyguards to pull open the doors for him. He alighted from the car and hastily got to the other side of it.He pulled open the door, and Olivia exited the Limo. Darls picks up her nurse. Instead of giving it back, he decides to hold it. They both strutted inside the mansion and just then Olivia's stomach grumbled.She instantly felt embarrassed and did not look up at him. He smiles without saying a word. He thinks this darling wife has had a long day, and at the moment, she must be tired.He didn't want to annoy her by teasing her. As they got to the living room, Olivia was greeted by the tantalizing aroma of stewed chicken alongside other mouth-watering dishes."Go clean up, then come down for dinner," Darls said. Without arguing, She nods and hurries to the elevator, forgetting her purse was with Darls.Darls raised his eyebrows, frowning at how careless she had just acted. He then beams with the thought that she didn't m
"Krm!" Olivia liberates her throat."I seem to have forgotten my purse with you. Can I have it back already?" She asks.Darls merely moved away from the doorway. He made a path for her, and then he pointed at the purse on his bed.Olivia took a deep breath before stepping inside. She secretly peeked at the room and noticed nothing fancy.Just two old paintings hung on the wall, and then the architecture of the room and its wallpaper designIt looks typical of a person with an I don't care personality. The room was just cold, devoid of anything warm. Not even a vase of flowers.As she gets to the bed, she picks up her purse and smiles at him. Darls now lean against the wall, expressionless.He watches her walk, seeming captivated by her mode of walking, but his face is still sans any emotions.He stood magnificently like he was intentionally showing off his muscles, abs, and biceps. His perfect, alluring, and seductive body, which he had always kept hidden behind his suits, was now open
All dressed up in a skirt suit. Her hair was packed into a straight ponytail. Olivia wore her suit jacket expressionlessly. She then bends over to wear her six-centimeter stiletto heels.Her black suit skirt reached her knees, and her pink undershirt had been tucked into her skirt. The tailored black suit jacket had its buttons all done.Her makeover was simple but urbane at the same time. She takes a pair of stud earrings and a gold chain from the drawer, placing them appropriately. She also takes out a beautiful lady's wristwatch and places it around her wrist.Olivia then picked up her designer handbag, which contained all the necessary items needed, and stared at her reflection one more time before exiting the room.As she walked, the maids bowed. Their boss lady wasn't saying a word and no one dared to make a sound. They had their heads down, their arms crossed, and not once did they plan to risk their lives.As the elevator moved down to the second floor, memories of the painful
Dalton stared disappointedly at Mike, whose face had different bruises. He had been lying on the bed for two days now.The night after everyone had left the bar, Natasha Martinez managed to track down Mike's location, and shockingly, he was pathetically lying on the ground, bruised and drunk.Natasha, nonetheless, could not understand why Mike didn't pay for a VIP room; after all, almost everyone in the city knows his identity, and coming out without any disguise or bodyguards was no different from a suicide mission.Not pondering too much into it, she had the guards drag him to the car and directly took him to his parent's home, where he'll get treated in secret.To protect her 'future' husband's reputation, Natasha Martinez convinced her dad to help make sure no picture or video of Mike in that condition gets leaked to the outside world."What is wrong with you, Mike? Why can't you just focus on running the company?"He yelled, but Mike didn't even look affected. He just gazed at his
As they alighted the car, Olivia had her indifferent looks, while Darls had his signature expressionless glimpses.The camera clicks and flashes from different angles as if it were the day when the industry would be commissioned.Many were curious and felt like they could not wait to start interviewing the couple.Nevertheless, no one said a word aside from greetings because they knew a slight mistake would get them banned, and that would then be the end of their career.As Darls and Olivia stride into the business building, Olivia secretly marvels at the aristocratic architectural design.The descriptions were beyond beautiful. This is the first time Olivia will step foot in this building.As Mike never wanted to have anything to do with Darls or anyone related to him, he did not seek after Darls, nor did he assign her any assignments with Holly Corporation.For a long time, Olivia had heard about this large chain company's headquarters being the best building structure every enterpri
His words were direct and straight-forward. It seems that same question was running through every reporter's mind, but only he stood up to ask it.Olivia smiled without being surprised. Moving the microphone in front of her closer, She responded:"I have no expectations as a CEO because up until now, I'm yet to be the boss of any company.However, I've been in the industry for not one or two but for four years now, and I've been relentlessly working, researching, and improving a lot of things, as all of you seated here know.It's saddening to realize you all only go after the bosses, and you don't look behind to see who is working alongside him to take the company to a higher place."Her answer like that baffled everyone present."CEO, Mrs. Olivia, could you please explain what this means? Do you mean you have been in this industry For years and still no one knows about you?" Dylan Emmanuel asked."Yes," Olivia affirmed."I've been in this industry even before I graduated from the uni
It was a sunny Wednesday at the Imperial Business Institute, where Mike was studying. This institution is known to be the best business school in the country.Many famous businessmen in different cities graduated from this university.Mike and his colleague, who happens to be his one close friend at the institute,Houston Nightingale had just concluded their final lectures for the day and were both on their way back to the condominium where they lived.As they strolled, Mike noticed his girlfriend, Andrea Clifford, laughing merrily with a guy he had no idea who he was.With a cocky brow, instead of heading where he intended, he turned and walked towards them. He could see the difference in the way she was staring at this guy.She looked like some smitten fool, unlike how she was around him. This made him annoyed."Hey man, isn't that Andrea with the new school genius hunk?"Houston asked as they got closer. Mike blinked as he was now staring at the guy. He didn't think this guy loo
It was not a question but an affirmation.Crystalbella found out that she had let it slip. She did not intend to ever say it in her entire life, but now, she had really said too much. She shook off his big palm and continued walking with a humph.Leonardo DiCaprio quickly caught up with her and reached for her little hand.He was in such a happy mood that he had a trace of laughter in his voice. “Mrs. Leo, why didn’t you ask me? It’s not good for you to be so sullen and jealous.”He was making fun of her.Crystalbella wanted to find a hole to hide in. Due to embarrassment, her young lady temper arose. “I like to be jealous. If you don’t like it, go to Lily.”Just then, her slender waist was captured by a strong arm, and Leonardo DiCaprio half carried and half pushed her into the groove.She felt as if there were a big stone on her delicate back as the man pressed down and said, “How could your jealousy be so high?”It was very dark, with only a little moonlight, yet his eyes were shini
“The stream water is very cool. Don’t be playful; you are going to catch a cold.”It was rare for him to be so serious as he spoke. He touched her face with his left hand as he checked whether there were any water droplets on her face.She swatted his large palm away. She was displeased as she coyly said, “You are always so rough. Can you be more gentle? My face is all red now.”“You are so tender?”He hugged her with one arm and used the other hand to take the fish spear from her hand.He stabbed the fish in the water as he murmured, “No wonder you don't know how to catch a fish. Something that's so easy!”Crystalbella turned her head over to cover his mouth as she said, “Leonardo DiCaprio, you are not allowed to continue speaking!”Thinking about it was way too embarrassing, but it was also…fate.It was fate that she could not escape in life.“You don't have to ridicule me just because I do not know how to catch a fish. Do you even know how hurtful and painful it is?”“What is that l
In Andrew Scott’s villaAfter hearing that Moon was there and had come to visit, Andrew Scott was extremely excited and rushed down from upstairs as he said, “Moon, you are back already? It is raining so heavily outside, why didn’t you stay over at any of your sister’s places…? Ah, Moon, what is wrong with you?”Crystalbella stood in the living room, and her entire body was drenched in cold rain water.Her dark hair was all wet as it stuck to her face. Compared to her entire body that was already so cold, her face was even colder.Andrew Scott felt very bad for her and said, “Moon, why are you so drenched so badly? Quickly go upstairs to take a hot shower. I will ask the chef to make some ginger soup for you. Go up quickly; don’t catch a cold.”“Dad, I will go upstairs then.” Crystalbella headed upstairs.In the bathroom upstairs, Crystalbella stood underneath the shower head.The warm water flowed down from the top of her head, and she stretched her hand out to wipe her small face.
Hate was hate, but she still had to eat this meal. She would not go hungry because of that bastard. She called the helpers inside, and the helpers brought in scrumptious and beautifully plated food inside and placed it on the table.Crystalbella sat down in the chair. She had some Fried rice and orange juice, and she was very satisfied.When the helpers took the dishes away, Leonardo DiCaprio came out of the bathroom coincidentally at that moment.He wore a black singlet. His entire body was cold as his masculine figure made the few young helpers bow their heads down immediately.Crystalbella looked on coldly from the side. This man attracted many women, and she was afraid that he would also not reject them when the young helpers in the family approached him. Hmph!At this moment, a deep, charming voice rang out in her ears. “Mrs. Leonardo DiCaprio Collymore, why are you looking at me with this expression in your eyes? How did I offend you?”It was only at that moment that Crystalbell
The Scott family, who were now based in A city after the demolition of the dark forces base house, had reached Central City a few days prior, and they stayed in a high class villa.It was still in the wee hours of the morning, and the sky did not break yet. Crystalbella was pulled out of her warm bed. She was sleepy as she sat down before the vanity table as the makeup artist helped her to doll herself up.After she was done with her makeup, someone placed a handmade green phoenix crown on her head.It was sewn intricately. The father, Andrew Scott and her mom looked at her with tears in their eyes as they said, “Our Moonie has finally grown up. Moonie, you are the most beautiful bride on earth today.”Crystalbella kept rolling her eyes. She moved her hand to pull the green cloth to cover her eyes, and it was better for her not to see all of this.Very quickly, the people outside loudly shouted out, “Mr. Scott, the new son-in-law is here. The son-in-law is here to pick his bride up!”
When Leonardo DiCaprio and Crystalbella flew back to CentryCity, the news of them in the room in M coastal had spread all over the city.All the headlines in the newspaper were speculating about the marriage — the marriage of strong unity between the Collymore family and the Scott family.Soon, Jason Collymore and Andrew Scott spoke openly to the media. The middle of that month was a lucky day when Leonardo DiCaprio would officially marry Crystalbella.As the main party in this matter, Leonardo DiCaprio was locked in the house.He looked at the whole Collymore family coldly as they decorated the entire house. Every corridor was pasted with beautiful designs to signify happiness for a marriage. The laughter of Old man Jason could be heard incessantly.On this day, Leonardo DiCaprio sat at the dinner table having a meal with the entire family which consisted of Lena, Charles and Jason.Jason handed Leonardo DiCaprio a set of design drawings. “This is what you will be wearing on your wed
Leader Fox and his people were all around, and it seemed that the celebratory party was held there.Crystalbella looked at Leonardo DiCaprio coldly, and he was seated facing her from the side.His right hand held a cocktail glass as he drank, and there was a beautiful, provocatively-dressed woman who held his left elbow. The woman was about to sit down on his lap.Crystalbella snorted coldly and left immediately after that. She just knew that this man was not a good person, he should have touched many women and must have gone to these places many times back in the past.She returned to her room before going into the bathroom to take a shower.The warm water trickled down from the top of her head, and she stretched her hand out to flip her dark hair back before she lifted her hand up to wash her face.Her mind went back to the scene back in the study room of the Wales home.He was half joking and half serious as he pushed her down and kissed her deeply. Upon thinking about this, Crysta
Crystalbella looked over at that side and said, “This is the latest bomb from Germany. This is my first time seeing this. Do you have confidence?”Leonardo DiCaprio looked at the seven wires on the bomb, silently placed both of his hands inside, and turned the knobs carefully.At this critical moment concerning life and death, every small action from him decided her fate, so she stared at his face intently.This was the first time that she looked at him so seriously, and at this moment, he had an extremely serious expression on his face.He did not have any trace of the casualness that he usually had. His short, dark hair was combed back, and it exposed his defined hairline. Anyone who looked at him would think that he was cold and fierce. His skin tone was bronzed, and his features were extremely handsome and structured, looking proper and attractive.He wore a black singlet that was similar to hers, and he had a pair of camouflage trousers on the bottom. His hands were working sil
There was already a military green jeep that Jax had sent over, waiting outside the hotel gate. Leonardo DiCaprio walked down the steps while taking off his black suit.“Boss, you are here?”Knight opened the car door.Leonardo DiCaprio’s cold eyes swept around his surroundings and asked in a low voice, “Where are you going?”“M coastal.”Leonardo DiCaprio didn’t speak further. He stooped down and got in the car.At that moment, he suddenly saw a graceful figure in the corner of his eye. Glancing sideways, Crystalbella had also walked down the steps to where a black Lincoln luxury car was waiting.Their eyes met and both stopped.Crystalbella’s beautiful gray eyes of a mixed-blood stared at Leonardo DiCaprio, then she raised her red lips gently. She spoke in stiff French. “Tell your father to give up. I will not marry you!”Leonardo DiCaprio stuck his hands into his pockets and restored the appearance of the evil ruffian again. “Just as I wish. I will also not marry you. Look at yo
