Stella Parker, an ambitious businesswoman at the peak of her career at the age of 25 was determined to make a name for herself while refusing to accept any form of defeat... she wanted to be the absolute best in everything, especially when it came to the greedy world of 'business'. Her outspoken personality and sassy character no doubt earned her a measure of fame amid rivals in the industry. But when it came to the famous Los Angeles-based hot and devilishly charming CEO, Ethan Woods, he understood the true meaning of persuasion by force... to seize one's own power. Because of his aggressive behavior and obstinate demeanor, he was indeed quite popular among those in the business circle. With these two dominating personalities going head to head, one despising woman and the other rejecting the mere thought of falling in love, what will be the outcome of their story? Will they be able to continue as sworn rivals, battling fierce competition at every corner? Or will they hopelessly surrender to the desires of the heart? Follow the exciting journey of a contract among two CEOS in... "LOVE or VENGENCE."
View More"Ethan's point of view,"I stood there dumbfounded as she slapped me again and left the place. How could she smack me? The only way I'll find peace is by thoroughly destroying her business. I considered dialing Steve's number from my phone. Oh no, what am I going to do? If I disclose anything to him, he will undoubtedly tell my grandmother everything. So, what can I do to get Stella Parker to stop being so obstinate? Even though I was quite gentlemanly with her, she still said no to my proposal. Oh, really? Is this a marriage proposal? My subconscious irritated me once more. Of course, I spoke to her in a soothing tone, but that defiant young lady still had not accepted my offer or apologized to me. What does she think of herself, after all? She rejected Ethan Woods' marriage proposal. I am a top-eligible, handsome bachelor billionaire. Thinking about the thoughts that had formed in my head gave my male ego a tremendous boost. Oh, so you believe that no woman can refuse your ma
"Stella's point of view,""Stella, what did Mr. Woods say to you?" As I hung up and set the phone down, Avery's enthusiastic voice greeted me. "He wants to talk to me," I told her about the last part of my conversation with Ethan. "Besides this, what else did you discuss with him?" She began making fun of me once more. "Do you think of me and Ethan as a loving partner who talks on the phone for hours? You can imagine what kind of interaction two business rivals may have." I replied to her query in a grating manner. "Okay, you seem pretty worn out. Please take a nap now, and we can continue our conversation at a more leisurely pace tomorrow." After saying goodnight to me, she exited my room. Wait, she said that we would continue our conversation about this tomorrow, but I don't understand why. Since he has harmed my business so badly over such a long period that I haven't been able to sleep soundly for the past few nights, I can't waste any more time worrying about that conceited
"Ethan's point of view,""It's up to you, Ethan, whether you accept my words as a challenge or an order. I want Stella to be your wife." My ears were ringing with Grandma's words. Exactly what sort of mess has my grandmother gotten me into? I can't tell her I'm not at all interested in girls because if I do, she'll assume I'm gay. Oh no, what kind of foolishness am I thinking? Considering that this is the first time my grandma has asked me for something, I must grant her a last wish. I will soon need to see a different doctor for my grandma's treatment because I can not watch my grandmother die in front of my eyes in this way. "Ethan, my child, what led you to decide to grant my last wish?" It jolted me out of my thoughts when I heard my grandmother's voice. "Grandma, please try not to worry about my wedding too much. I don't want you to become sick of thinking too much." I said, assisting her in moving from the bed. "Don't waste my time with idle chatter; simply respond to my qu
"Stella's point of view,""Did your avaricious uncle finally agree to help you out?" As I walked down the hall, Avery greeted me with a question. "Are you up at this hour of the night to ask me this question?" While throwing my bag on the couch, I questioned, "Of course, what did you expect from me—that I would be sound asleep in your room when you got home late at night?" She made fun of me. "Please, Avery, not now; I am already exhausted, and I have no courage to quarrel with you," I stated while inhaling deeply. "No, not at all. If you believe that using your sleepiness as an excuse will allow you to avoid answering my questions, you are mistaken. For you, I've already brewed coffee." Said as she nudged the coffee cup across the table towards me. She has no right to exert such pressure on me; this is my problem, and I can find a satisfactory solution to it in my manner. Oh my god, what the hell am I thinking? Since nothing that happened to me today was Avery's fault, why am I
"Ethan's point of view,""Steve, how's my grandma feeling now?" Steve was waiting outside the intensive care unit when I entered the hospital. "Mr. Woods, your grandmother unexpectedly fell ill, and your grandfather is currently out of town. Your grandmother had come to the Woods Industry for some urgent work when she became ill. I was speechless when I saw your grandmother's dire condition and took her right away to the hospital. I apologize if I offended you by bringing your grandmother to the hospital in this manner." He gave me a quick explanation of the entire matter. His speech left me with the impression that a little child had been asked by a teacher to recite the table of two, and that he was doing so at such a rapid pace that the table might have been forgotten by the time he stopped to catch his breath. "Mr. Woods, are you mad at me?" After hearing his inquiry, I could not determine what response I should have given him. By the way, he does everything without first ask
"Stella's point of view,""What happened? Stella, why have you come to meet me suddenly? Is everything fine?" Daniel's uncle asked, seeing me.I was examining his expression to determine if he was genuinely concerned about me or just putting on an act, as he often does."Uncle, I need your help," I spoke apprehensively."Stella, please let me know what type of help you require. Since my darling child has asked for my help for the first time, I will assist you in every manner I can." He motioned for me to take a seat on the couch."Uncle, I need your financial help to prevent the Parker Industry from going bankrupt," I muttered while fidgeting."Stella, you know fully that I must get your aunt's approval before making any financial decisions. Therefore, I believe I will summon Lily here so you can talk to her about your issues." After giving it some thought, he responded to me.Why would a rapacious woman like Lily Aunty assist me? Should I continue to count on Uncle for any sort of he
"Ethan's point of view,""Ethan, explain to me why you have suddenly traveled to California." As soon as I answered the call, Grandma's query welcomed me. I don't know how my grandparents are informed of every activity I engage in.Oh, I know the answer to this question well, so why am I having to work so hard to think of it? Who else except Steve could tell my grandparents all the information about me? I made it obvious to him that I didn't want any of my personal information shared, but even that was difficult for him to grasp."Have you put the phone to the side, or are you even paying attention to me?" My ears heard Grandma's irate voice once more."Yes, I am paying attention to you." I do not know how to respond to my grandmother's queries, to be honest."Tell me why you went to California without notifying me." When I heard her voice, I had the impression that she wouldn't hang up unless she got her answer."Because of a business meeting, I had to come to California right away,"
"Stella's point of view,""Stella, how was your meeting with Mr. Woods?" Just as I was getting ready to walk inside my office, Avery asked while glancing up from her desk."Just don't use that scumbag's name!" I yelled indignantly."What happened? Why do you seem so irate?" She stood up from her seat and spoke in a startled tone as she approached me."To appease his ego, the egotistical man demands an apology from me.""Apology? But what is the issue?" Her eyes were wide as she asked the question."He believes I purposefully defeated him to humiliate him in front of everyone." While I was repeating what he had said, I became so enraged that my face became quite heated."Stella, please explain everything to me because I don't understand a word you're saying." She spoke in an indignant tone.Does she not realize how furious I am right now? But she insists on learning every detail of our encounter with Ethan at this very moment. Should I tell her everything? Of course. If I tell her ever
"Ethan's point of view,""What the hell do you think you are, you scummy, scandalous, canine, worthless, lowly rascal?"I don't know why, but as soon as her fire-like voice entered my ears, my heart felt a great sense of relief.She's so enraged right now that the very tip of her nose probably already looks red. It's similar to the cherry on top of my favorite vanilla cake.Oh, you're still smiling when you think of her? My subconscious questioned why I was grinning so broadly.I didn't miss her, and this time, rather than me calling her, she called me. I explained to my subconscious.Whatever the case, you forced that poor girl to call you so late at night.Was my subconscious truly hacked by Stella?Stop supporting that haughty girl. Don't you realize that all is fair in love and war? I told my subconscious to remain silent."What are you expecting from me?" Her voice cut off my internal monologue."You must know my expectations of you." I asked, furrowing my brows."Sorry, but I ca
"Stella's point of view,""Who the hell is he?How could he overtake Stella Parker's car?" My rage reached the seventh sky as soon as a boy passed my car.What do today's lads think of themselves?If he hadn't looked back through his car's mirror and given me a mischievous grin instead of forgiving himself, I would have been willing to overlook his error. However, after seeing what he did, I will be less inclined to do so.I shifted into high gear in my black Porsche, and now I'm here.A top racer from a Californian city.As I moved my car out of the midst of traffic, I overtook the boy's car."Exactly what are you doing?" Holding the car's steering wheel, the young man was shouting violently."Fuck off.Do not repeat the fatal error of passing my car." A grin spread across my face as I took my hand away from the car mirror and raised my middle finger.On the streets of California, my car was already moving at peak speed. For this reason, I could arrive at Parker Industries far ahead ...
