Aesthetic’s POV:
“ Hurry up Thea! Mrs. Smith told us that the boss will arrive today. “ My friend Kiendra shouted at me when she noticed that I'm just sitting on my chair, doing nothing. I boredly set my eyes of her and nodded tardily as if I was just hanging around.I can’t blame anyone for being so sleepy at work, it was already five in the morning when I fell asleep because of my stupid dream. I dreamt about a man who looks exactly like a protagonist in a fantasy story. Though I can’t clearly define his features, but all I know is that, he can definitely drag women’s interest.
He has this dimmed eyes with a deep meaning inside. It seems that there are nameless emotions in it that may broke his stance any minute. That dream! That dream always shows up trice a week. What does it mean? And who the hell was that man?
“ Are you done day-dreaming? Do you wanna get fired? “ I moved my sight to her when she sarcastically asked me a question. Kiendra was always been a hot tempered woman, maybe that’s the reason why she’s still single till now. Oppsss! We’re actually the same.
“ I’ll be at your back. “ I answered. She turned her back at me and walked slowly while stamping her foot. This amazona girl is really aggressive. Well, she cares for me and I appreciate it.
After my parents died because of an accident ten years ago, she became my family in an instance. I was twelve years old when I was left alone. No relatives, no friends. I remember that I was so hopeless and thought that I will die together with my parents, but unexpectedly, a fifteen years old girl named Kiendra showed up and grabbed me to save my life. But,------my parents didn’t survive, including my older brother who was always been by my side whenever I needed comfort.
Subsequently, she brought me to an orphanage and we grew up together. My parents are known for being great in business, but there was no news about their death. Not even me, as their missing daughter. That’s why I stayed quite and started to stand up on my own foot. Nevertheless, that was all from the past, so maybe there’s no one who can recognize me now. After all, I grew up as a fine lady and an independent one.
“ Crap! “ I cursed and ran as fast as I can when I noticed that I'm the only person who was left in this floor. Maybe they're all at the entrance, welcoming our new boss. I quickly stepped my foot in the elevator and pressed the first floor.
I'm at the fourty-fifth floor and my destination is the first. Holly molly! Maybe because I was out of my mind these past few weeks, that I even neglected my work as a part of the department of finance.
I’m wearing a black skirt that’s two inches above the knee, paired by a white fitted shirt with a black coat. This isn’t the proper uniform here, but mine was soaked wet last night when the rain poured from the sky.
I’m now twenty-two years old and still a graduating student from the Stallion University. A school that has good reputation and reviews. It’s an expensive school but I was able to study there because I have my scholarship. Maybe that was the reason why they hired me even if I’m not yet a college graduate.
I lifted my head to see who’s the person in front of me when the elevator stopped in the twenty-fourth floor. Seems that I’m not the only one who is late and will be fired? Thank God I have a companion if ever Mrs. Smith will blow fire on me.
“ Hello? “ I greeted but more like a question. LOL! I was aiming to take a glance at him but ended up fixing my gaze to him. I was so shocked when I realized how good-looking this person is. The person whom I just saw at this very moment. Could it be, fate?
“ Ahemm… Don’t you know how to talk? “ I sarcastically said then stared at him. He has this domineering aura and a catchy charisma. I looked at his face and saw how artistic his eyebrows are. His dark eyes that symbolizes danger yet, it was so gorgeous that I won’t be bored by just staring at his two dimmed eyes.
I moved my gaze to his well-shaped nose down to his thin sexy lips. Ghad! How can this man be so perfect? His skin that looks so soft and his jaws that was like curved by an artist for a year. He even have this luscious adams apple. Woah! Is he a celebrity? But how come he’s here?
“ Tsk! Your eyes are indeed annoying. “ I suddenly snapped out all my fantasies in my head. Really Thea? You lost yourself just because of this arrogant man in front of you? Hmmp…
I looked at him from head to toe, as if I was disgusted but I really know how perfect he is. Wearing a formal suit that fits his tall height and body. Though I can’t see through how it really looks like, but I can definitely guess that he have some hidden abs in his black coat. And it looks really expensive.
“ Dream on! I was just looking around. “ I stated and looked away. Why do I feel that this elevator is so damn slow? Aren’t we there yet? I played with my fingers, trying to stay calm when I sensed that he’s now looking at me. The heck? Why does my heart is beating rapidly like I'am in a race or something?
“ Hmm… You’re pretty brave for an employee. “ I lifted my head when he spoke up. Huh! Is he discriminating my status? Can’t let this dumb guy win. I crossed my arms and accessed my deadly gaze to him. Eye for an eye, a man for a woman.
“ Don’t you know that being an employee in this huge company have a great salary rather than some celebrities? “ Gosh! Seems like I was reciting a poetry. I raised my eyebrow and turned my eyeballs at him. Yes, he is indeed handsome but that doesn’t mean that I’ll let him split away.
My body froze when I found out that he’s actually trying to make me embarrass using his sharp eyes. His features are truly irresistible while his figure is definitely the perfect definition of the word perfect itself. He may be from a well-known and wealthly family.
“ I didn’t ask… “ He seriously said right into my face. He frowned but looked away immediately after taking a glimpsed at me. Well, I’m cute so maybe he can’t resist my beauty. Toinks!
“ Now you’re acting weird. It’s ok! I know you already regretted what you said. “ I normally said and took a deep sigh. Now we’re almost near to the first floor. Kiendra and the group might literally kill me if I put stains to our department. I know that there are many employees who doesn’t like me at all. Maybe because they thought that being just a student isn’t qualified to work in this company.
I hurriedly stepped out when the elevator arrived. I was about to run in order to welcome our new boss at the entrance when someone holds my wrist tightly. I moved my head and saw the guy whom I don’t like. Well, I love his physical appearance but not his cold and rude personality.
“ What is your problem? “ I hardly asked him trying to break his grip. I was stunned when I saw danger in his dark eyes, as if there’s something he doesn’t like. I followed his finger that’s currently pointing to me. I exclaimed when I realized what he wanted to say.
“ You want your black bra to show off? Fix that damn button first before someone will see it… “ After saying those words, he left and didn’t bother to look back. His broad shoulders were dragging others attention. I hurriedly buttoned my shirt and fixed my messy hair.
While walking, my mind is occupied by that mysterious hot man. Maybe that was the reason why he felt shy earlier. I thought that he realized something good. Well, some wealthy people doesn’t know how to respect others, they keep bragging about their money and pride. But,-------should I call him, the elevator guy? Cute!
“ You silly girl! Where have you been? The boss already arrived awhile ago. “ Mrs. Smith asked me with a low but deadly voice. All my colleagues are staring at me with pure amusement. That’s not new to me at all, almost all of them hate me. I don’t even know why?
“ I have a stomachache, that’s why I was late Mrs. Smith. “ I responded but didn’t dare to look at her. We’re just standing near to each other. This company really have many employees, no doubt that this is the most well-known company in this country.
There’s no such thing as grand entrance or party, they were only informed that the new boss will be here and will settle this business from now on. It felt weird. I saw how women squeaks as if they were truly excited. Some are whispering about something and others are looking at the mirror, fixing their make-ups. Never mind! They just want to show off to be favored by the new owner.
Seems like Kiendra is nowhere to be found. With this huge number of people? I can’t even recognize some people around. I just started working here last year, so I’m not really that aware of others agendas.
“ Everybody, go back to work now! “ I stiffened when I heard that deep manly voice. I was scared to look up but I decided to enlighten my thoughts. Could it be, him? That elevator guy?
“ Oh God! Please spare me… “ I whispered when I confirmed that it’s actually him. The girls began to murmured and his catchy aura spread all around this floor. He’s near me, probably just ten steps forward. I wonder around, hoping he won’t see me, but I was totally wrong.
“ You… “ All eyes around me when he pointed his finger in my direction. I felt my heart skipped a beat. Will he fire me? If I had known that he’s my boss, I would’ve not talk to him like that. I might have even just take the stairs earlier just to avoid him and his rudeness.
I almost stop breathing when he slowly walked towards me. All I can hear is the beat of my pitiful heart and the sound of his shoes, touching the floor. I wanted to move away but I can’t, and I musn't. I compossed myself and remained my stance. I smiled at him but I didn’t dare to look at his dangerous eyes.
“ Follow me in my office… “ He whispered and continued to walk. I felt the sudden heat rose up on my cheeks when his breath touched my ears. A huge voltage of electricity runs in my system. Now what? Should I call myself lucky now?
Aesthetic's POV:“ Hurry up! “ I almost jump off when he demanded. His voice was like a deep hole wherein, you’ll be curious of what’s hidden inside. My hands are both sweaty while my knees are trembling slightly. As if, one wrong move and I’ll be swimming on the floor.I tried to be calm and didn’t think about negativities, but the hell? How can I not think about it, when I knew that I offended the boss earlier? We’re currently at the top floor, walking towards his office. For years of working here, I didn’t get the chance to even step on the top floor of the building, but how unlucky am'I to be here for a punishment?“ We’ve arrived Mr. President. I'll be on my way to deal with what you told me yesterday. “ The man in white said. In front of me is my handsome boss and his personal worker, I guess? He’s quite tall but the boss is more taller. He have this gentle voice and overwhelming aura. More preferable than the other rude man in his side. Though the boss is st
Aesthetic's POV:“ Sir----let me go… “ I begged trying to get out of his arms. He lossen his grip on me and turned me just to face him clearly. The first thing that I saw was his sharp gaze as if he’s going to devour my soul out of my body. His lips stretched and plastered a satisfied smile together with his addictive smell.“ Let you go? “ He smirked and laughed sarcastically. He then returned to his serious look and traced his fingertips on my hair. “ Do you think that I’m an idiot to follow you? Now that your scent had prevail, all I have to do is to let you serve the sin of greed. “ He stated.He licked his lower lip that made my heart go crazy. The sin of greed? What do I have to do about it? I was about to asked him when a knock interrupted us. His eyebrows slowly furrowed while his smile vanished.“ Who’s the person who got the nerves to ruined this very moment?! “ He exclaimed. He quickly turned away which made me feel more relieved. He sat on his table
Aesthetic’s POV:“ Did you chain her to my bed? “ I slowly opened my eyes when I heard a voice that was almost a whisper. My blurry sight can’t deal with this dark room, but why am'I even here?“ Yes sir! All good. “ Even if I can’t clearly see the surroundings, I can sensed that there are people in this room. I don’t know why but even if I try, I can’t utter a word to say. My body doesn’t obey my mind and remained helpless on this soft bed.“ You can all go out. Better not disturb me by any means. “ I wanted to move my head but I can’t, as if my body was all frozen. I felt someone’s presence that’s getting nearer my direction. A domineering aura and strong charisma occupied this room.“ Lady, you’ll be in my care from now on. “ I was stunned for what he said. What does this man mean? I can’t even see his face, all I can feel is that, he has this sharp dimmed eyes that’s currently focusing on me.He caressed my hair and sniffed my neck as if there’s a h
Aesthetic's POV:“ T-to die f-for you? “ I stuttered while asking. The immediate fear grows inside me. There was a sudden feeling that made my heart almost jump out of my lungs after hearing those dark words. As if his every words were true and will really happen in the future.I gasped for air when I felt that I’m barely able to breath. Seems like my esophagus was being crumpled and twisted, no matter how I took a deep breath, the disgusting taste is still there causing me to feel nauseous. I moved my arms and legs but it’s still helpless.I cannot find my strength anymore, as if there was someone who’s stopping it. He suddenly stood up and walked towards the huge painting. A confusing art that have too many complicated thoughts. It was like an old generation picture that consist humans death and some weird creatures.“ If you want to live longer, sign the contract as a symbol of loyalty. “ He stated, approaching the art of abstract. He touches the pai
Aesthetic’s POV:“ Uhmm… “ I slowly opened my eyes as I felt the pain on my neck. I moved my head and explored my eyes, hoping that it was all a dream. However, with the huge painting’s existence on the wall, I realized that it wasn’t. What happened last night was all part of reality, and the pain in my neck proves it.“ Glad you’re awake ma'lady… “ I lifted my head and saw an old woman who was wearing a black dress, like a servant’s uniform. She was staring at me that made me gulped while her lips displayed a wide creepy smile.I automatically sat down on the bed after knowing that my body were all free. No chains, no Ace. My face scrunched up when I felt the pain again. Though it’s not like that night, but it is still aching, specially my neck and my head.“ You need to take a bath first before meeting the prince ma'lady. “ She stated while bowing her head. The prince?
Aesthetic’s POV:“ Uhmm… “ A soft moan got out of my mouth as he gently bit my lip and accessed his tongue inside. His fingers crawled upward and hold his grip at the back of my head to kissed him more. I could barely catch my breath, good thing that he moved his head inches away from mine.I was breathing hardly, trying to catch up my breath. I don’t know how to kiss and how it feels, but now I experienced a wild one. Will my parents forgive me if they knew that I let a stranger kissed me torridly? I mean, he’s my boss and I don’t know him completely. So in short, he’s still a stranger to me.“ Do you think that a kiss is enough to satisfy me? “ His dimmed eyes runs with nameless emotions. I was stunned when he quickly grabbed my waist and lifted me like a bride. While I’m in his arms, I automatically covered my naked body using my hands.As he stepped his foot in the room, instead of fee
Aesthetic's POV:“ Get ready, we will be going to the company. “ He said then walked towards the comfort room to take a cold shower. I don’t know why but after owning me for three times in a row, he decided to take a bath after. Do he really see me as a dirty woman? He even knew that I was pure, not until he touched me.“ Ouch! “ I exclaimed when I felt the pain all around my body, specially down there. “ He told me that he'll be gentle but he wasn’t… “ I murmured while cursing him in my mind. My skin is now full of love bites with my messy hair. Crap!I wrapped the clean sheet around my body and tried to stand up, but I fall back on the bed. It really hurts! The pain is almost unbearable. Why would not? His huge little monster didn’t even let me rest for a second, and his hands were exploring every edge of me for the last two hours?After remembering those stuffs earlier, I felt my
“ I’ll drop you here, you can walk right? “ I lifted my head and fixed my gaze to him. He’s currently driving the car carefully and his dark eyes were focused on the road. I nodded softly and looked outside the window.“ I’ll just walk to the company. Besides, some workers might gossip around. “ I stated as I was enjoying the view. Tsk! I’m really a liar. How can I even enjoy the view with this smoke pollution and noise?I shook my head because of what I’m thinking. I was about to say something when the car suddenly stopped. I quickly looked at him and realized that I’m in my planned destination.“ Get out and walk… “ He said coldly. It’s more like a command than a request. He’s such an unbelievable perverted good-looking man. After he snatched my flower, he’ll just treat me like a cube?I pinned my death stare to him and explored it, as if I

It affected the whole realm including his approach to everyone. His cold heart becomes colder. His eyes becomes sharper, but his face is more handsome than before.He became ruthless than ever, as the dangerous version of him evolved trice. His company remained as the top 1. Nevertheless, he never felt the happiness again, an emotion that humans begged for.“ President, your friend Heart is waiting for you outside the company. He said that there’s something he wants to say. “ Hearing what his secretary said, he immediately stood up and walked towards his private elevator.He rarely speak and his expression is always deadly. They never announced why Thea stopped working, not even Kiendra and Tristan know it. They thought that she flew to abroad after graduation and decided to study fashion. It was alre
“ Master Ace, the city of Alcalac and Caprus are having a fight, and it affected the peace of the whole realm. “ One of his servant reported. They’re on the secret underground meeting hall of the Cabrine city, a place where vampires ruled.Together with him are his friends. Spade, Jack, Diamond, King, Joker, and Hearts. They’re all from the seven deadly sins and of course, with their jaw dropping features, they often captured the hearts of many.

He was literally pissed off, not just because the city of Caprus started a war, but it also ruined his date! He don’t know why but there’s this feeling that something bad might happen.“ Dye, can you ask your father king Dominic to use the strength of the Zrobic city? “ He said while looking at Dye's cold eyes. &ldqu
“ We're going back young madam. It’s already seven in the evening. “ Red suggested with the grey puppy in his arms. He’s wearing a simple grey shirt paired with a black pants. His handsomeness couldn’t be ignored, but Thea’s mind was flying away from her.After what happened this afternoon, she didn’t saw Ace again. He left without saying goodbye, he left without his proper words. Silly her! Why would Ace bid his goodbyes for her? They’re only business partners? If they call it that way.“ ARF! ARF! “ The puppy’s barked snapped her back to reality. She stared at the cute little one and decided to take it, Red obediently gave it to her. She stroke his fur and tickled it that made it wiggle his tail. Somehow, it calmed her mind and she nodded before walking towards the yacht.“ Careful… “ Red reminded and guided her to get on safely. It was actually just six when they arrived in t
“ W-what? “ She didn’t turn around to face him, instead she clenched her fist as her nails were digging deep in her flesh. She was shocked and dumbfounded.“ Let’s get married tomorrow… “ Ace answered calmly as if it was just a normal thing to say. “ To be more official and lawful. “ He added and stepped closer to Thea who’s frozen due to his sudden decision.The place was crowded with militaries moving around, but it didn’t stop Ace to be intimate with his little wife in front of other's envious eyes. In fact, his face plastered a playful smile with a silent chuckled that didn’t reach Thea's reddened ears.“ Why? “ He asked with his innocent pitch and intentionally slipped his long solid arms around her waist. “ Do you not want me anymore? Hmm? “ His hot breath stroking her most sensitive part, the neck, sends a huge voltage of electricity deep down her being.
“ Come here… “ Her heart erupted in an instance right after she heard Ace’ deep but gentle voice. She doesn’t know where she was at the moment but she saw a gigantic wall right beside them. As if it was build to lure the enemies away.“ Closer… “ She felt that her hands becomes sweaty as well as her forehead. The joint that’s connecting her body felt weak. She was literally puzzled! Why would she not be? If Ace became more and more gentle towards her and her fragile heart?After the first eclipse where they spent their moment together on bed, he changed. The way he talks, the things he do, and his approach towards her. It was as if he see her as a significant person in his life. But God knows that she’s not part of those. Maybe she was just so assuming that a simple gesture from Ace would already melt her walls apart.When Red guided her to this direction, she realized that this place was indeed a mil
“ Sweetheart, wake up… “ She stretched her hands and moved her sore body while still closing her eyes. It was such a tiring night and all she can feel was her painful back and flesh. Sure it was a hot yet punishable night with her husband.“ We’re here… “ His gentle voice made her eyes wide open, with her hand holding the blanket that’s wrapping around her body. As soon as she explored her sight, she automatically saw the smiling face of Ace. His right elbow was supporting his head while staring at her.She felt uncomfortable and speechless. Knowing that he was looking at her from her sleep, she can’t help thinking if ever she was drooling earlier. Crap! If ever that’s the case, then she won’t face him straightly anymore. The will be her greatest nightmare!“ You can take your time to dress up. We’re actually inside Dye's room here in the Island. “ After that, he kissed h
“ I want you “ His manly voice made the butterflies in her stomach go wild, as if it got out in jail after so many years. His gaze was like melting her existence on the bed. It was so domineering and lusty, yet it gives shiver down her spine.“ A-Ace… “ Thea mumbled abruptly as her fingers massaged Ace’ broad shoulders gently. Her warmth gave him so much urge to ravish her at the moment. The eagerness for him to own her by any means exploded deep inside of his mind and flesh. It was as if his eyes were blocked with desires and cravings that only Thea can give.“ My Thea. My sweetheart. “ Hearing his gentle voice with full of affection, she couldn’t help anything but to felt satisfied. It was the first time for her to feel like their endearment wasn’t just a call sign, but more like a mark that symbolizes Ace and their marriage.His left hand roamed all around her body while his other hand w
“ Don’t you owe me an explanation? Hmm? “ Thea's mind got confused because of what Ace said. She owe him an explanation? But why? And what was it that she doesn’t even know?The yacht was already sailing and Red was in the operating room with the other person. It was just terrifying for her to see how a gentle Ace changes into something, weird.The puppy with a grey color suddenly got out of the room that made the two of them have their moment together. The room was kinda dimmed for no reason, and it was filling her body with voltage of electricity that soon shocking her bones down to her core.“ I-I don’t know what your talking about. “ She said without enter locking their eyes, afraid that she might lose all her strength.“ Ohw trust me sweetheart, you know. “ It was just seconds when he stopped his foot near Thea and casually closed the door at her back like it was just common to do.Cr
Aesthetic’s POV:“ We’re here young madam. “ I opened my eyes when I heard Red's gentle voice and a tap of my shoulder.The last time I remember was when I got inside the car and Red told me that I’ll be going to an Island with a weird yet familiar name. I don’t know why Ace decided to go there, maybe to celebrate?Tsk! As if he cares about my graduation. He just maybe want to hangout for awhile and torture me again with his merciless side.“ Thank you! “ I said after wiping my face if ever I’m drooling. He nodded and opened the door for me. As soon as my eyes landed on something, it automatically widened and I just found myself adoring the yacht floating at the sea.It was really big and fancy with its white color. As I explored my eyes to the ocean, the hit of familiarity embraced me. I can’t remember when and how, but there’s something deep inside of me who’s som
