CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 12. Threats and Mates
Trainwreck. This was a trainwreck. Asher had tears in his eyes as he gazed away from Lia. Lia who was a child king in her childhood was stumped at this development. She did nothing. It was a big mistake.She just entered the room and she tripped over a wire. Unfortunately, that wire was placed behind the card tower made by the kid. And it collapsed gorgeously. It all happened in slow motion. It was enthralling like the dominoes falling. And at the same time, Asher was about to cry."I don't like you."He yelled and ran away. Lia looked broken by her luck just now. This was a huge difference from what she witnessed and expected. She saw her brother charming this kid and herself disgusting him, probably. Lia wanted to cry.Aster didn't wake up from the fast chain of events unfolding before him. He didn't have time to utter a word or even a gasp.It was maybe the fastest worst first impression ever. And to top it the first impression was already made with a lot of prejudice."I'd bet

"I was worried about you."Lia told Aster when her call finally got through. "I'm fine now. I should be asking you. How are you? This should be the first time you faced something like this, right?""Yeah, it was unexpected. Does this happen to you often?"She was insanely curious."Want the truth or lie?""Lie.""This was the first time."Lia chuckled."I want to ask you something.""What?""You could get out of this. Such things will happen more and more and the danger will only increase. You could quit right now."Lia paused.She had to think about this. She didn't envision saying yes but she saw herself saying no. Maybe earlier she would not be willing to enter this den of thieves. But now, she saw him something as a friend. She didn't want him to fight this all alone."I just need you to protect my mom and brother. And also me. I can be your less involved partner.""Haha."Aster felt happy. He unconsciously didn't want her to accept this offer.The question posed itself again whe

"You are staying home often these days," Jake observed.Lia nodded. She found that she was jobless. Because she was still working on the website, she didn't take on any new projects but that meant staying quiet a lot and getting taunted."Why? You are supposed to be in the college but here you are, making jabs at me for being at home."Lia retorted perfectly."I'm preparing for my exams so I'm allowed to be here. But you don't go work somewhere and you are sitting jobless."That was not really true."I'm taking a break, you know."He made a face at her. They were getting worked up and they finally resorted to a guessing game before they stopped."I'm thinking about a player who is not your favorite.""That's the total player community," Jake was angry."Yeah, that's why I chose him."Lia was victorious because of this. Her brother only concentrated on Ron Lexor, an e-sports player. Others, he didn't care enough to know about them so he didn't know others.Lia always won by using this

Lia stood alone behind the pillar wishing to go back in time. It all started when Aster messaged her.Aster- Can you come to a party with me?Lia- Why?Aster- It's actually a wealthy people kind of party and you need to be with me as I'm married.Lia- FineLia dressed in a gorgeous way and that's why she was well, targeted.Aster was taken away by the elders for a small talk. It was just a matter of minutes.And the wealthy ladies sent veiled insults towards her. She was angry but she didn't change her expression."She should be from some middle-class family. How dare she come here?""That miss couldn't marry into the Brooks family and she was the most popular candidate.""Yeah, do you know she was sent abroad by her family?""That's a pity."Lia listened to this conversation with bated breath and understood many things. The lady they were talking about should be the one who found fault with her at the last party.They all stopped when Aster came back.He bent and whispered in her ear

"Hey, Claudia is so miserable." Lia sat with Aster in his study. They were there to discuss plans. "Why?" "She is being treated like this by her aunt." Aster was amused. "You know she is okay. I think her father is the culprit here." Lia was shocked. She looked at him with wide eyes. "He didn't know. How could he be responsible?" Aster leaned back against the chair and spoke in a low voice. "If he cared enough, he would have found the clues. He was running away from her. Maybe someday he doesn't want to face her. His mentality like this caused her harm." "But why?" "Lia, human emotion is very complex. It's like when there is zero exiting, a person can comprehend it in infinite ways. And emotions are inherently complex so you get more than infinite possibilities. How a person could feel or react, you cannot fathom. But you can try to predict. It may or may not be right. Just don't keep hoping about someone. It's best to be confident yourself." She nodded. She didn't understa

"What's your idea?" Lia and Aster were going through a new software and they were brainstorming. "I want the query here to reload the second page." Lia coded according to his instructions. It was a simple website. Because they loved Boybands, they created a website where the timelines of all albums and shows could be tracked and watched for free. Only albums and fan signs could be bought with money. This was something like a huge project but they didn't think that way. Both were awesome programmers and what they didn't do had many teams to help. Lia just made a model and the remaining would be given to the teams. Aster had helped her determine the look and finalized the colors and imaging. The design and animation effects were also being made. She watched the preliminary look of the website and felt immensely happy. "We have to check this after the second round of changes are made." Aster nodded. He was also pretty much interested in how this would all pan out later. "By t

Somedays are just different. Because you never know what you would face. It could be life-changing or emotionally changing. They can be good or bad. It just depends on the long run, isn't it? Lia was not a big fan of this. She was reading a blog and she felt your life was yours to change however you want to. You just had to have that confidence and brace yourself to face the struggles. She never thought about the mystery of fate and destiny. Come to think of it, she felt both were the same. Just one was meant to be and one wasn't. And it looked like fate and destiny had a group chat and made this happen to her. Lia woke up exceptionally happy that day. She was looking forward to working and chilling. But she was sent to do a grocery spree by her mother. And she was happy toll that very moment. She loved searching the aisles for her favorite food and putting that in her cart. She checked out and she carried the heavy bags herself. She felt it was equal to exercise. If she ha

"And how was Asher kid kidnapped? This place seems pretty safe?" Aster had to think of a way to respond to this. Asher himself went out in search of kidnappers. "He wanted to help me so he went to find them." Lia was flabbergasted. That was something she would never imagine even in her dreams. It was kind of explosive. Like the headlines in the news. "Why would he think that?" Aster shrugged. He didn't know how kids' brains worked. But yeah, he did help him. "You should stop him, this is dangerous." Aster nodded. He knew but he was helpless. Asher had a set of rules that he followed. "You want to meet him again. You are well acquainted by now, I guess." Lia knew that was the truth. But she was still apprehensive. Knowing and happening is like a channel between ocean and land. You cannot realize just by seeing. She just sat there and Aster went to get Asher. "Hi!" She greeted the kid. The kid looked no different from the first time she saw him. But she knew be was hurt by t

The date was wonderful. When they came back, Lia couldn't stop smiling."So, I'll see you tomorrow. "Aster dawdled without wanting to leave. Lia smiled and nodded. "Yeah, you go first. I'll wait for your signal."Lia left first and opened the door to Jake's face."Have you son some lottery again?""Noo!"Lia wanted to stop her face from smiling like an idiot but it was proving to be hard."Then your experiment was successful. I knew it, let's celebrate by eating leftover ice cream from yesterday."Lia didn't pay attention to him. At this point, she didn't need to pay attention to him as he was already taking out ice cream. She slipped away to her room.Lia then opened her window and opened the balcony curtain. It was yellow, and the signal successfully alerted Aster. He smiled and sat in his room, waiting for Asher to come back.Aster wanted to talk to his brother and tell him how happy he was today.It was like he was floating. And nothing could stand in his way or hurt him today.
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 140. Date
Butterflies were dancing everywhere. Lia felt like she had eaten some and some were flapping around her.That was really hilarious to think. But the thought of dating Aster sent her over the edge. She was being foolish but she was really happy.Lia cleaned her desk three times in a row before managing to calm herself down.Aster- How about we go to the museum today?Lia sent a reply lightning-fast.Lia- YesMuseum date, haha.She would love it.Museums were interesting and she would get to see a slow motion world there.No crowds today and more time to watch the exhibits she loved.Like the historic paintings and fossils.Lia wasn't worried about other things because she found herself wondering. The impact of the dating was this. She found herself double guessing her double guessing results.Finally, she dressed herself in a very casual way.And like always, she left her apartment with a note taped to the door. In case her brother wanted her to a grocery run, he could see the note and

Lia- YesAster grinned happily and he wanted to do a cartwheel. That ended badly as he knocked over the vase on the table. But that didn't damp his enthusiasm.It was a feeling he never experienced. It was like he was living in a fluffy cloud and he was made of a fluffy cloud too.The high he was feeling made him forget so many things. For instance, the stupid contract he made then. And the threatening things in their lives. And the fact that he never told her that the Lexor family was related to her.Yeah, love has selective vision and he was the perfect example.Lia was somehow the more clear headed one in this scenario. She just started working on her game. Lia had this habit. When she was bursting with something, she would try to delay it with some other work as a tactic. And when she felt somewhat calm, she would deal with it.This only worked for ten minutes and she kept having flashes of Aster. Lia sighed and smiled."Stupid Lia!"This showed that her tactic wasn't working an

"Do you want to confront him?"Marvin asked Aster.Aster really wanted to ask that person how could he betray his family. This guy was his mother's cousin. And to do this, it was really bad. Simon had sent so many items from his mother's collection and they were more or less bad. Similar to the stuff the old man gave. Now he was really doubtful about the old man too.Was he also involved in this shady stuff? Was he the mastermind behind this operation?Aster didn't know."What's the guarantee that he will tell me everything if I ask him?"Lia nodded. Yes, he could lie. Then they would lose their edge by making the enemy know that they were onto him."Yes, you are right. I think all of the people we found are scapegoats. If it was that easy to find him, your brother or your parents would have found him. And to keep doing this stuff for such a long time, he should be somewhat proficient, right?"Lia rambled.She really thought that way. "Also, we found this organization. Maybe there are

"Yes, the animal categories are very disturbing. It makes no sense why they used that but then again, it all depends on the person who is making the categories. If it was me, I would give them artistic names. Like painting, singing, dancing, you get it, right?"Albert answered and chuckled.But who asked him anything about this? No one. He was very interested in knowing and answering questions. "Hey, you are still working on the cats' folder, Marvin is now combing through monkeys."He also provided status updates.Good guy.This was making Lia nervous and competitive. She felt like she was taking a competitive exam and she had only thirty minutes left to solve half of the question paper."Got it. Your decryption algorithm worked, let's see the results."They all surrounded Aster."Let's see the first image."It was actually a cat playing with a red dot but after the decryption, it became something else.There were words instead.59 million gain 15 million lossAJ recruited"What's thi

Lia watched Aster set up the equipment and do a final check. She stood out of the way watching everything.Albert just stayed there in the chair hanging his legs out and nearly falling asleep. He slapped himself awake and it was very funny to watch.Lia then watched Marvin coming out with cups of coffee.She took one because let's face it, she wasn't awake completely."Okay, we are ready. On your signal."Marvin nodded."It's time. Start."Aster pressed the button and the screen started changing. The text was scrolling and Lia found it difficult to read."This is going well. We don't have much to copy. It will be done in three minutes."And like he said, the status bar came to a stop."It's done."It felt less party kind of an exclamation but they were still happy. Lia thought that they would all jump in the air and celebrate. But the reality was that even with coffee, they were all very sleepy.""I'm going to sleep."Albert fell asleep there.As it was done, Lia nodded and went to her

"Mom I have to talk about the class schedule with Marvin and Aster. I'll be home late.""Okay, have fun."Lia had finished her dinner and when everyone were watching television, she got a signal from Marvin."You go. I'll watch Asher and Jake."Oggy declared. Well, if he was so sure, then why not?"So, what is that water thing?"Lia almost forgot. Oggy was also a member of the kid gang.Seeing their attention drawn to the fountain, the three of them left the room.They went to Albert's apartment because apparently Aster's was not totally safe now.They didn't get rid of all the spy chips there. They left one as a formality.And that's why they had to change their Lair."Tell me, tell me, tell me."Albert started repeating."Wait, let Lia settle down."Yes, Lia was searching for a good cushion. She was embarrassed at having that pointed out "I'm okay, you can start."She coughed."Okay, so here's what we found."Marvin then motioned for Aster to start talking."Marvin connected my cop

"Whew, we are back home. The whole thing was very stressful."Aster felt like he was in heaven when he saw his couch. He was that happy."Yeah, take rest now. We will check the computer in the evening. Let's get the information sooner so that we can work on other things later."Marvin changed out of his clothes and he was ready to go out.Aster was surprised."You aren't going to rest?"He questioned Marvin."Yes, I have to go check the company. With the headquarters not here, I have so much backlogged by being out."Aster felt sad for Marcin. Good thing Ray did his work in the meantime.Maybe when his brother woke up, he would be free and sleep till he naturally woke up.Those were some happy days.Aster sighed and fell asleep on the couch."Uncle, you are back."It should be later because he was woken up by Asher."Yes, Aster, you are back. When did you come back? We didn't know anything."Jake was with Asher."I came around afternoon. Then I fell asleep. I would have met you all in

"This is a disaster," Aster told himself when he saw the bustling crowd in there. The club was totally filled with people and it was getting on Aster's nerves.He had never seen these many people in such a closed space.He made his way to the other end to get to a secluded place.Marvin had gone to the other side so he could keep an eye on people coming and going out of the side door.Aster felt that Marvin was doing a very focused job. Marvin kept shooting him messages that kept popping before his eyes and Aster wanted to block him.Marvin was having fun with the glasses but Aster had worked on them for so long so he didn't have any preference over it."Hey, handsome, are you alone?"Aster was brought out of his reverie by a voice.It was a guy.He had short spiky hair that looked like it could really hurt someone."Oh, no. I'm in my company."That guy came near him and sat beside him."Crazy night, right?""You realize it's just afternoon now.""What? Its night. See."Aster saw no p
