CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 87. Confused
Lia didn't talk to Aster till they came to his company. She then watched him change the look of his car while he passed through the tunnel.He pressed a button and the number plates rotated. The color of the car changed and most importantly, its exterior changed.No one could have thought that it was a comfortable Comfort car and not a sports car."You give me surprises every day.""Each other," he replied.She kept looking behind to see if there was a tail.Lia was nervous. She acted well when she was put in the spot but she knew now how much of a danger she was in.If something went wrong, she would be in a dire situation.And she would have brought the danger to her family too."Come on. Let's go in."Aster had parked the car in the innermost layer of the basement in his company building.Lia dodnt know that this car would be scrapped later to remove all traces.Aster didnt tell her anything and took her inside his exclusive elevator.This elevator didnt go to his office but to a r

Marvin stopped that thought there. She wasn't ready to face the whole truth. They shouldn't tell her till they find the whole truth. There was no need to irritate her with this news. She was already facing many things on her own and she deserved some slack.Marvin put down his phone and frowned. The things that were happening seemed illogical but they were happening one after other. How could there be no connection?He felt that there was something he was ignoring.Something was really wrong.How come they were targeting Lia blatantly now? And not before? Maybe they weren't to kidnap Lia but to talk?He got up."Catch them soon. Don't be late. They are in danger."Marvin ran out. How could he miss this?If they wanted to harm Lia, they wouldn't have waited and she couldn't have run away. They definitely didn't want to capture her.He just hoped that this lead wouldn't cut here.Marvin reached Lia's old house and found it empty.They went away.These people were really so alert that

Aster followed Marvin like a puppy. He had no idea where they were going and what they were doing. But he knew to act like a follower to Marvin.If you don't know how to do something, just act like you are nailing it.That's what Aster believed at that moment.Marvin watched the people coming and going in the casino for a minute and then got up to leave.He took Aster to the other entrance and left there."We are going to get changed and come back later. You eat something and be ready, okay?"Aster was hungry already. He hadn't eaten anything before flying and during flying.He was starving and Marvin's orders were like rain in the desert for him."Okay," He smiled looking forward to the food in the hotel.Bit Marvin took him to a villa."This is our house. No one is staying here now. You can live in the first room on the first floor. That room will have all the necessities. And the ingredients are in the kitchen. You can cook yourself. Or if you want, I'll ask someone to cook for you

Aster was sitting in an open room. It was somewhat different. The room was not a room but more of a gallery.Aster was brought here by Marvin. They had dressed in fine suits without a hair out of place. They looked like they were about to walk the red carpet.And to his surprise, everyone present here looked like supermodels. He didn't know what was the deal here."Ah, boy from the Winters family, welcome."You would have thought that some old man called Marvin but it was a teenager. He was younger than Jake.And he called Marvin boy. That was really funny."Yes, Uncle Al."He nodded. It looked like cosplay and roleplay."And you must be the second Brooks, I met your brother. Good guy. Tell my name, no one would dare embarrass you.""Sire, thank you."Aster didn't know what else to say.He just acted like a good younger kid."So Uncle Al, who is the promoter today?"Marvin was the polar opposite of Aster. He asked questions."That, it should be the kid from Roger family. Keep an eye o

"You married my niece? Without asking me?"Marvin decisively rolled his eyes."first point, she is my cousin. Not your niece. Second, why would he ask you to marry her? He needs to ask me."Albert did not pay attention to Marvin."You better be best to my niece. Otherwise, you won't like to find the result.""Great, you are threatening!"Albert now glared at Marvin."Would you shut up? I'm trying to have a talk now. This is really wrong. Marvin, you should keep quiet when elders are talking.""You and me, we met only six times. So don't try to act close. Also, stop acting and tell me your news. You definitely know something."Albert now looked like the leader he was.His aura changed."It's from the Outliers. They are not subjected to anyone else. They don't listen to anyone. So it's on you how to convince them.""Who are they?""Ah, you don't know them. Let me tell you. Where is the chair?"Albery then proceeded to change the setting of the conversation. He took them back to the livi

"See, it's a small problem. Sometimes you have to just see who is more influential and ask them for help. Like me."Marvin didn't know what to say. The problem that looked giant was solved by his mother.He felt like he was a kid who told his mom that he was having a problem and she solved it fir him."Don't think too much. I'm giving you a meeting appointment. You have to get them to agree by yourself. If you can't, I'll do it because, honestly, it's for my niece. But you have to try."Marvin nodded. Yes, he understood perfectly."Mom, you are awesome.""I know, go sleep. I'll go and check if there is any other way we can find more help."Marvin felt happy.No matter how much he wanted to do, knowing that his mother was there for him, made him so happy. He felt more courageous.It was a good night.On the other hand, Aster video called Asher.Jake answered him."Brother Aster, Asher is asleep. He fell asleep just now."Aster could only sigh. That kid didn't miss him at all."Okay, I'
CEO'S WEALTHY CONTRACT BRIDE 93. Outliers
Aster watched Marvin questioning the left guardian of the Outliers.Apparently, there was a leader and two guardians- Left and Right, and ten heads.It was a very complicated arrangement but they worked it.The left guardian was a lady. She looked bloody. She had just fought with someone and the way she looked at them made Aster cringe.This group bordered the normal people and the mafia. That meant they were in the presence of people who could be normal and mad at the same time.Crazy, right?"You are here to question us?"She just asked."Yes," Marvin answered.She just stared at them all."You have no right to threaten a common person."She sneered."Common person? And how would you know that?""You didn't deny that you threatened the safety of my cousin?""Yes, why should I deny? Listen, we take orders and we complete them.""And you attack my family then you have to be prepared for consequences."She didn't look fazed."Mr. Albert Lexor, can this young gentleman represent you?""

Their trip was successful. On the other hand, Lia had to work. She didn't want to think more and scare herself. Jake didn't know anything and he wasn't followed by anyone. Otherwise, he would know.So she decided that they only followed her."You are sighing like a person who has nothing to do. Go do something."Lia was scolded by her mom. She then got up from her lying posture on the sofa and moved towards her room.She had nothing to do because she didn't want to do anything.She was not in a mind to concentrate on anything. "I will sleep."Yes, when you have nothing to do, sleep.But sometimes the loyal sleep also doesn't give you the time of the day. Then what?Lia sat up, fell down, then sat up again.This time, she sighed again."Hey, what to do?"She wanted to call Aster and ask but she controlled herself. What if he was somewhere important and she disturbed them? Wouldn't that be a disaster?Yes, she had to do something or she would go mad thinking about it again and again.

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

"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
