CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 56. Happy
"I should do the opening ceremony?"Lia almost wanted to hir herself. "But I have stage fright?""You don't. I have seen you give presentations. In a whole auditorium, filled with people."Lia now had to think of other reasons."I can still freeze because I will be wearing a disguise."Aster just gave her an unbelieving look."What if my family recognizes me? My voice is very familiar to them.""You are not giving any presentation. Just cut the ribbon, light incense, and go away."Lia had to listen now. She didn't have many things to do actually. And she felt that she could manage this thing by herself."I don't want to do this, you know. it sounds scary.""I'm doing this. So count me in that scary feeling. We both will be doing that so you don't have to be burdened feeling you are in the spotlight."Lia nodded."How about I practice?""Now?" He asked her curiously."Yes."Lia first acted like she cut the ribbon. Then she got up and bowed to some imaginary statue. She then took an in
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 57. The countdown to the fight
The days were happy. At least for Lia, it felt good. She didn't experience anything bad. Something like this would relieve someone's mind. Lia acted so hard that she managed to now not to fall in front of Aster and inadvertently get hugged. She couldn't make a mess when she had to perform in reality.She now hummed songs and enjoyed herself. Who knows when this kind of calm will last?This particular day, she had a chance to go with Jake and Asher to a dentist visit. That was very cool, right? For her, yes. But for the two boys, it was not.The place was spotless and surprisingly had a calm feel. Again, for her. But for the boys, it should be equal to a horror house.They were checked by a young lady. Lia read her name- Bhavya. A cute name. Angel in white. DefinitelyLia liked this lady instantly. "Hey, we both have names ending with the same rhyme."Bhavya smiled at that and Lia felt an arrow piercing her heart. She was cute. Jake and Asher had no problems and just got their teet
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 58. The start
The day of the celebration arrived. Lia first slipped away to appear as Aster's wife."Mom, I'm going to see if I can help. You can come slowly layer when the crowd is less."She left them there and ran out. As she met Aster, he took her to the venue. Thru had to get changed quickly before reaching the venue though. The place that was chosen to hold this was a large ground that Marvin Lexor owned. Lia was not shocked that they dominated the real estate industry."You should also invest in land.""I have buildings, you know."Lia rolled her eyes. A jealous guy."But where are we holding our party now? Not in your buildings, for sure!""Maybe next time we can. You never say never."Lia felt that was right but she didn't want to agree with him. His tail will go to the sky.Lia got dressed in a festive red dress. Her hair was piled up on her head in an elegant bun. She also wore a simple diamond necklace. Lia felt her eyes go wide when she saw the jewelry Aster had got her. He had boug
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 59. Drama begins
The day went in a blur and the evening was here. Lia had to go out. She had a readymade reason."Mom, my professor is taking me to Aster's dinner. He wants to meet some investors."This was what she had told her mother earlier and she got the permission to come late at night. Because she couldn't stay that late without informing her mother.Her mother went wild with imagination if she couldn't see her. And she didn't want her to worry about her. Parents always worry."I'm ready."She left there and met Aster outside. He was in the car and he didn't get out."This is an important event. Don't be nervous. Those people look like monsters and are monsters. But we are not nice people. Treat them as game levels. If you clear them all, you get a gift."That was a good incentive. She loved that. And she felt that her nervousness was gone after the morning opening ceremony. It's like you get the feeling of being in charge once and you get addicted.It was scary but also refreshing. "I will.
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 60. A so called Routine
As someone said, when something seems wrong, it definitely is.Claudia just messaged Lia but she felt that she had to tell in person.Claudia got up from her seat and went to the forefront."Mrs. Brooks, nice to meet you."Lia was not surprised to see Claudia but she was surprised to see her acting like they didn't know each other."Mrs. Brooks looks fabulous and dynamic today. I have always wanted to meet you.""Thank you. Come and sit here. I feel close to you."Lia took Claudia to the side and they sat on the swing. "Caroline today is so different. It's almost weird. I have never seen someone change their attitude."Lia started. She got the message here. She made a small talk and made her way back to Aster. She looked at their height difference and felt bad.She gestured for Aster to bend down and then whispered in his ears.Aster had a hard time concentrating on what she was saying. It felt like this hall disappeared and only he felt her beside him. All the sounds disappeared
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 61. Solve a minor problem
"Nothing happened here."This guy was acting so well that Lia felt almost bad about what was going to happen to him.The ladies were more interested in not leaving now."Aster, truth me, Lia and I are innocent. We don't know each other and nothing happened here."For an outsider, the scene looked like a husband walking in on his wife cheating on him. And this guy was making no effort to make this scene real. "What's happening?"Now, the elders were also here. If the place allowed, maybe the whole party could be here. Lia thought about it and kept calm."Aster, you have to forgive me.""You say, you have to be forgiven, did you do something to be asked for forgiveness?"Caroline James entered the chat."I-I-I," he took a glance at Lia and then slowly walked back as if in pain."I shouldn't have come today. Lia is happy and that's what I wanted when we decided to leave. Have a happy life."Seeing his acting, almost everyone felt sad."Mrs. Brooks, don't you have anything to say? How

Claudia came to Lia and nodded."You found out the flies?""Yes, come with me. I'll take you to eat."Lia had fun with Claudia eating all the tasty food. While the other ladies did not like their intimacy, they still stared at them. Lia didn't mind that but Claudia felt bad."It's okay. Just feel that you are winning the best actress trophy and they are all those who were against you. You will feel instantly great."Claudia smiled at that."You think differently. Maybe that's why you were always good at all our classes. Haha. I will also think out of the box when I'm feeling sad or scared. thank you, Lia."Lia was happy to see this genuine smile on Claudia. She looked glowing like a little star.People are all like stars, giving off lights. But some situations make them stop emitting light. Its times like those, they need someone giving them light so they can start emitting again. If no one helps them then, they turn into a black hole, nearing their end.Everyone has their light. Bu
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 63. Game day
Aster had traced the bank account and found the traces broken once again. The formidable opponent was playing a game of chess with many moves attached against him. Aster knew he had to start predicting the next moves while playing. So he understood that he had to keep an eye on Owen.Just because he failed to get Lia's reputation in water now doesn't mean he couldn't do it again in the future. This person wouldn't be thrown away now. The mastermind would still keep him from attacking them in the future.Aster had to wait till then. He waited for Ray to report what he found."Sir, the James family is not satisfied with your treatment so they wanted to get back at you. This is what I found.""Why now? They could have got back a long time ago. They were coerced now. Check for the changes happening there. Like, a capital injection or a new person joining the group. Every recruit should be scanned. Even relationships. See if someone had a new boyfriend or girlfriend. We must check every

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
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 138. Confess
"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
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 135. About to find
"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
