In the evening Armaan received a call from Hernan Bush to have a drink.
“Soul” is the premium and most exclusive private club of Philadelphia. Even if you are rich you can’t enter the club; you need to be entitled too.
Hernan Bush, Adan Smith, and Dewei Scavo are the sworn brothers of Armaan. Hernan is the crown prince of the media & entertainment industry, Adan’s family is in the jewelry business since their inception, and Dewei followed his passion to be a doctor by dropping the inheritance of the Scavo family who is into politics. They all four grown up together and were armory of each other.
When Armaan entered the private room, three outstanding men with attractive appearance and handsome features i.e. high forehead, strong brow, and solid jaw with exquisite charm were already sitting there. There look was enough to cause a nose bleed with high temperature. A transparent goblet filled with red wine was placed in front of them.
When Armaan entered the VVIP room, Hernan was the first one to greet him.
“Somebody seems to be too high in spirits today,” Hernan said with a playful smile. He is known as a smiling tiger in the industry. His means of handling things are sometimes more ruthless as compared to Armaan.
They all know Armaan loves Reese, but he never explicitly said. Although they are afraid of his anger and cold gaze, but how could they let him get away this time without teasing him. Only she was his weakness.
“You are too noisy,” Armaan said and sat opposite to Dewei. Adan handed the glass of wine to him.
Hearing that Hernan chuckled.
“So what if I am noisy, but can you stop pretending to be, we all know Reese is coming back, do you dare say that you are not waiting for her,” Hernan said while pointing to Armaan.
“Even if I am what it has to do with you,” Armaan said and ignored him.
Between that, Adan Smith said, “Not only Armaan, someone else is also waiting for her.” When he spouted this statement, Armaan's hands halted in the air and he looked to Adan as if he is waiting for him to complete his speech.
Understanding his intentions and sensing the dangerous gawk Adan didn’t wait and said the name, it’s Liam Sean.
Liam Sean was Reese senior, and also from one of the wealthiest families of Philadelphia. Their family was into the mining business. Although he never specifically expressed his feelings to Reese but his close ones know that he likes Reese a lot.
“Do you think, he has the guts or will I give him an opportunity?” Armaan said with full confidence while lazily leaning back to the sofa.
A loud laugh came from Hernan’s mouth, following which he said, “Who just now indirectly denied anything with Reese? Man I know you must have already planned out and placed your chess pieces at the right place. Oh my my, the little girl is in trouble, who asked her to grab the heart of an evil beast. I really pity her.”
“If you don’t talk, nobody will take you like air.” This time Dewei said to Hernan.
But turned his face to Armaan and said, “You can’t take Liam lightly. Reese already has a good impression of him. And he is also doing great in his career, there are no reasons for her not give him a chance. And we know he will definitely pursue her. Earlier it was all under your control to keep her away from all. But this time it would be a little tricky. You better prepared well. What if something goes wrong, you know Armaan nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity. It’s not Liam but time is your opponent, and if you delay you might lose.”
Armaan gave a devilish smile while rolling the red liquid in the goblet and said, “The harder the battle is, the sweeter would be the victory. What belongs to me can only be mine.” With that, he stood and left.
Hernan looked to Dewei & Adan and said, “Let the show begin. Love storm is arriving in Philadelphia.”
On the international class flying to Philadelphia, in the business class, Reese was soundly sleeping. Almost all were looking at this peerless and pure beauty. A snow-white skin, charming & almond-shaped pair of eyes, an exquisite small nose, and pink moist lips were breathtakingly beautiful as an exquisite doll. Her waist-long black hair was tied in a ponytail, which was angelic. It was difficult for anyone to move their eyes away from her. Today she was wearing a yellow color one shoulder crop tee and denim jeans, which was flaw
Mother Lee was busy in the kitchen preparing all favorite dishes of Reese like beef enchiladas, cheesy rice & broccoli casserole, pan-fried oysters, spaghetti with meat sauce, chicken dumpling soup, and blueberry buttermilk muffins as dessert.Hearing the sound of a car coming from outside, she immediately stopped working and rushed to the main door. Reese stepped out…ran towards mother and hugged her tightly. Although she was her godmother but she always cherished her as her daughter.
Striking shining rays of the sun were smirking from the window passing through the curtains on Reese's face, making her more enchanting. Feeling the warmth on her face she slowly opened her eyes while rubbing them and sit straight in her bed. Lee’s villa was in the outer suburbs, a closet place to nature not too far from the main city but an exclusive area. It was surrounded by lovely small mountains and natural bushes. With the artificial lake and waterfall, it was just like paradise. So natural!
At Armaan’s office…In a huge office, Armaan was sitting on the chair and his assistant Nolan was reporting him the business matters.A sudden commotion at the door made both of them look into the direction; there comes Hernan again with his amusing smirk. He moves in the direction of the sofa and made himself comfortable as if he was a boss.
At the Sean group on the 88th floor, an attractive and handsome man was standing at the French window. His exquisite facial features and the sturdy body were looking exceptionally well and sexy. He was wearing a dark blue color suit and black shirt, which is giving him deep aura. Standing behind him Jace Keen, his assistant, reported him about the Hilltop resort designing deal. He told him that the project is been assigned to a group in which Reese was there. Listening to which Liam turned around with a sweet glint in his eyes.
Aviva & Reese reached home, although Aviva wanted to roam around but Reese told her that she has to prepare a design handout of the new project which is a little time-consuming. They reached the home and had dinner with all except Armaan as he has some important business to do so he will come late.She went to her room, took shower, and changed to her comfortable night suit, and started preparing the handout plan on the laptop. She worked till mid-night and when she was about to close her laptop, she heard the sound of footsteps from outside.
The next morning, Reese left before the time for office as she has to report early with the hand-out design factors. They have an internal meeting in the morning where they will discuss the same and make any amendments if required before the kick-off meeting. She reached the office on time and Mark called everyone for a meeting. Reese has prepared a detailed plan covering everything about the design layout including typography, vernacular, form & volume, physical features, views, mass, atmosphere, grid, materials, orientation, protections, and importantly structure & tech
They all came to the office post-lunch to finish other tasks. Mr. Davis was having more meetings planned and there were investors conference was also premeditated which were very critical. This particular day has become significant for him with the fact that they got one of the biggest projects and another that they will soon be signing with one of the biggest investors with substantial funding.
Kevin’s meeting was fixed with Lake Seven after a week. Before meeting her he has gathered all information about Lake as an individual because he knows how Seven’s family was but this daughter was nothing but a spoiled brainless brat who thinks the whole world is owned by her.This made it easy for him to manipulate her but the great threat was her foolishness as she can act rashly without thinking of any outcomes. That has proved the incident in which she tried to trap Reese with Liam. But he knows how to handle her, with all care.Lake entered the private place chosen by Kevin.“I trust you will not waste my time and hope to get the results soon with your so-called plan…” She said while sitting opposite him.Kevin really wants to give him a good response but he knew he needs to hold for a while. He will get even with her but first, he needs to sort out Reese and Armaan.“Of course Ms. Lake…we both know
Reese was enjoying her food ignoring Armaan as if doesn’t exist there.But suddenly she realized or as if sensed that he is not eating, she looked up to him and saw he was actually not eating. He was drinking red wine only.“Why are you not eating? Aren’t you hungry?” She asked him.Listening to her question, Armaan felt he only want to answer the second part of the question. Yes, he was hungry and wants to eat her...but he can’t say it aloud.When he didn’t reply, she asked again, “Drinking without eating anything would be bad for your health, eat something…”“Are you worried that I’ll get sick?” He asked in a calm tone but his eyes were having different emotions.She thought “Why this person never gets anything straight from me? I don’t how she always interprets the meaning which I don’t mean to? Did he do all this deliberately or is he really dumb?&
“Why didn’t you informed me?” Reese said while picking up the laptop, files, and bags.Armaan ignored her and walked past towards the door.“Hey you…wait for me…why are you hurrying?” She shouted while running behind him.
Reese was fully immersed in the work that was assigned to her by Armaan. While working she never paid attention to her surroundings, even if there is loud music it won’t affect her. Seeing her so engrossed in work Armaan was amused to beyond. He knows her capabilities & competencies and how hardworking she was but this is the first time he was experiencing it 100%.Apart from looking too professional, he found her too adorable.It was already half past 6 in the evening and they both were busy, of course in between his work Armaan was peeping at Reese from time to time.Armaan slowly went near the coffee table where Reese was working and hovered her from behind. But as she was so deeply occupied and absorbed in her work she didn’t realize his so closed presence. To break her trance of work thoughts, he coughed a little but that also didn’t work. So he finally decided to use his trick…you guess it right…get more clos
The moment he called her name on phone, her whole body went through different shivers. Dissimilar bit similar feelings were flowing through her nerves. She doesn’t have words for them…she wanted to comprehend such feel…but was failed. Her heart was in turmoil but with sweetness. Her mind was blank and her body was numb…after few seconds of pause, she again heard his voice…calling her name again.“Reese…are you there?” Armaan said. The moments when she was silent on the other side he can hear her abnormal breaths. He can’t see her but clearly imagined her facial expressions. He knows her heart is somewhat flustered…with his proximity, even if it was created by his voice. And he was enjoying this. He loves his effect on her.Does she know how much I crave for her? How much I want to touch her? Feel her? Her soft body pressed against mine hard…her soft and plump pink lips that always invites me to bi
Having Lee’s around Reese always failed Kevin’s plan. He can’t directly attack her. Many times he tried to play emotionally in front of Reese but again miserably failed because of Lee’s. They have seen through his plans. He very well knew the strength and power of Armaan.It is said that greed has no definition and limits, only one objective - “The Never-Ending Want”. Reese’s father has left more than his wealth for his brother. But that never satisfied his hunger. He wants everything.And now Lake’s jealousy towards Reese is the right armor for him. He picked up his phone and called his personal assistant.“Do we have any business connections with Seven industries? If not then find out the way to get it settled in any way.” He said.“We don’t have any business right now I think they are finding the suppliers for their electronic segment…but we don’t have that much
All-day along Aviva was following Reese to get the details of what has happened and who is the culprit behind that. But how Reese could say anything about what happened and most importantly the name of the beast…Armaan.She continued her work ignoring Aviva’s questioning gazes but at the end of the day after office hours, Aviva dragged her to her car and left. When she reached some lonely place she stopped the car and turned towards Reese.
Shocked would be an understatement to define the expression she was having on her face...Her face flushed red and blood ran in the opposite direction...although his kiss was not domineering but the way he sucked and licked her lips...electrified her body. She was feeling weak...her head was numb...Armaan found her condition very amusing....he smirked.
His dark eyes were cold with a hint of arrogance and annoyance on his face. A cold aura was emitting from his posture that can easily startle anyone.She was panicked a little but soon realized she has not anything wrong so why she needs to be in a sorry state. She summed up her courage and tried to look confident."It's...its nothing...jus
