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

They all stood there watching the fireworks. The ending of the carnival was about to begin. The fireworks fascinated everyone not to mention a kid like Asher."Uncle, that looks like an apple. See."Aster listened to him and nodded."Yes, like the one you ate yesterday. ""Uncle, see, it is a catbot."The fireworks first showed images of all kid cartoons and Asher loved those.Next, there were normal fireworks and most of the people recorded those to post on Wowee.August was live actually. He was lucky no one would find his position otherwise, he would be swarmed by fans."Welcome to the ending ceremony. Let's start the first performance by our beloved August of True Hate."Aster didn't know August was performing."That's why he was not hiding his life. Because everyone would know his position by his live.Good guy.So clever."Hello, people. Are you ready?"Yeah, everyone shouted."This is my new single. I'm singing it live now. But it will be released in one minute. So here you g

"Sir, I found a contact from Owen. He seems to frequent this place and meet this person. And this person is a long-lost relative of your mother's uncle. What should we do about it?"Aster listened to this and frowned. He didn't think that this could be done by Uncle Grandpa. He was a very cool guy who never insisted on staying in the family and ran away to establish his own business. He was now running an art gallery. So this contact thing itself to him was pretty suspicious.Aster didn't want to doubt him because he would never believe that something like this was done by Uncle Grandpa. He was the closest relative to his mother so he could not doubt him.But he could not doubt him too. He had to clear the suspicious if he was innocent. Aster didn't think of the other part of this thought.That would just spin his world off the axis. "Just keep an eye. Sont alert anyone to your presence."Aster had to think of a plan.Before he could do something, his phone rang."Grandpa Incle, I

Lia went to visit the old house. She had to see what the aunts were up to. They were surprisingly very quiet. Lia told Aster and he dropped her there.The house was deserted now. Because no one thought Aster would visit, they were all out. But the aunts were present, surprisingly. "Lia, what a surprise?"They welcomed her with huge smiles on their faces."It's good that you came today. Mother-in-law goes out to visit other ladies and father-in-law goes to see opera."Lia felt that she got the right amount of information from this."How are you all?"Lia observed them and found that their complexion had improved."We are awesome. We grew some vegetables at home and it's working so well. The food tastes so good that I want I keep licking."The second aunt interrupted.Lia nodded."What vegetables have you grown?""Fenugreek, coriander, mint, tomato, and ground nuts. The ground nut will take time but the seedlings look good."Lia smiled at them."Can I see?""Sure," the third aunt got

"I call the meeting to order."Lia wasn't fazed at all.The person to her right who had spoken to her earlier was the first one to speak."I declare the first course of action to choose a new director.""You go ahead."Lia spoke.Well, no one expected that. "As we all know, Mr. Aster Brooks has sixty percent of shares with him. But he is not here now. And we don't accept you, his wife, as our director on his behalf. So we want to elect one among us."Lia didn't know if this was right. But she understood that they wanted a Brooks family member to be a director or a person chosen by themselves."I have the remaining forty shares represented by me."Lia understood that they want to take the helm of the company. Was it that easy?"So I am the new director."He rose from his chair and stood before Lia."Mrs. Brooks, I believe that chair belongs to me."Lia smiled at him."We didn't have a show of hands."The middle-aged man fumed."I have signed papers with me.""I was told that the paper

"Aunts, you should do whatever you want. If you want to live off the allowance, you could too. But don't do this just because someone orders you to."They nodded."Yes, now we will earn the money in the family and the finance matters will be handled to us."The second grandmother sat quietly watching."I don't know what to do to show my gratitude towards you all.""You don't have to. Aster helped us now we help him.""Second grandmother, how long are you staying here?""I will leave by today's second train."Lia nodded.She took them shopping. No matter what, daily necessities are necessary.They all separated on good terms. Lia knew that they would have to face the people in the big house by themselves. She could never speak there.And they had to fight for what they wanted."Are you done?""Yeah. It's been so tiring."Marvin drove back."You can sleep till we reach home.""No. Let's talk. What do you think is happening here? I could use your opinion."Here, the point that made the i

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
