Victor's POVNext day I dressed up well for the lunch date. *evil wink*I reached my parents home exactly at 12:30 in the afternoon. Seeing me enter the front door my mother's face beamed with joy. Maybe she had some doubts before whether I would attend the lunch.-She really has no trust in her son. How could I miss the lunch when it is related to my love life.-I greeted her. She hugged me and took me to the living area. Mrs Stark and her daughter were already sitting there. I greeted Mrs Stark and smirked at her daughter. Seeing this her daughter gave a shy smile.We sat down and my mother and Mrs Stark started talking. Mrs Stark sometime in between the conversation would ask me about how business is going and that's all.Seeing me not taking much part in the conversation my mother started saying."How I wish I had a daughter as beautiful and sensible as Loria."Mrs Stark smiled at that and looked at her daughter proudly."It's true that daughters are more caring and sensible than
CHAPTER 18Lucas's POVI entered a room after confirming that there isn't anyone inside the room and Grace followed me inside.Before Grace could close the door I pulled her into a hug. I pecked her lips. She tried to push me away."What are YOU doing ? What if someone came ? "She whispered."Nobody will come. Everyone's busy at the party."I said and again pulled her for a kiss.At first she tried to resist the kiss but soon gave in. We parted to take a breath. Grace's face has turned red. She hid her face in my chest. I smiled and embraced her.Suddenly I heard someone gasping. I looked up and there she was standing at the door.........Amber. She has a shocked expression on her face. My heart sank when I saw the disappointment on her face."Brother....? Grace......? When....?You.... You both ?Behind my back."I looked at Grace whose face colour instantly went from red to white."Brother, she is my classmate. "Then she looked at Grace."You know that he is my brother. Then how c
Amber's POVWhen I saw Brother Lucas looking helpless and almost stammering I just wanted to laugh but I controlled my expression. Sometimes I think I should be a actress, I would be the best one no doubt(*imaginary waving at her imaginary fans*). I continued with my act until my DEAR Elder Brother could not say a sentence which would make sense. At that point I lost it and laughed out loud.I REALLY can't believe that Lucas is the most intelligent among us siblings. No.... there might be some problem with the mind of the person who declared it.(Author isn't that person you ?) Now both of them are even more nervous and looking at me weirdly."Sorry.....sorry.....sorry.... But I can't......can't...control it...any....more."I laughed and laughed until my stomach started to hurt. In the time being brother has also calmed down a little but Grace still has a worried expression on her face.I pinched myself hard to stop my laugh.After a few seconds of calming down I started speaking.T
Veronica's POVThe birthday celebration is at The Cold Man's house. So everyone has gone there. I am the only one left behind. Anna had told me in the afternoon to accompany her and the other girls. I made an excuse and told her to go first as I might be late. Fortunately everyone was told beforehand to not bring any gifts and were invited just to enjoy else I don't know what I would have given the birthday girl as a gift. I had never had friends in my life due to constant moving and shifting houses from one city to another and sometimes because others are reluctant to talk to me because of me being different from them in looks. So I never attended any b'day parties in the past and don't know what to give.The party is being held in the courtyard so I went there straight just to show my face or maybe just to give my attendance. I didn't eat anything that was served there as most of it was non vegetarian. The birthday girl isn't here yet. Anna told me a few things about Amber.She told
Veronica's POVSince I have learned everything I am promoted for higher training.Steffany said," Since you have mastered all the moves uptill now, You should have been transferred to Senior Kiet for further training but....... Senior Kiet doesn't teach girls.""Why ? ""I don't know. He has refused all the female trainees till this date. If you want you can try talking with him but I would advice you not to because he is gonna deny."In the evening Anna gave me all the information about Senior Kiet and Senior Eunwoo. Whatever you wanna know about any trainee come to Anna. She knows everything."Senior Eunwoo is from South Korea and Senior Kiet is from Thailand. They have been best friends for seven years. Senior Eunwoo is cold while Senior Kiet has easy going personality. They both are the most handsome in the whole mafia, of course after Victor, Ethan and Lucas."Anna whispered. We are in the mess eating our dinner. I nodded in response showing her that I am listening.She continued
Veronica's POVAt dinner I felt someone looking at me. I looked around but couldn't find anyone. After a few times I found Senior Kiet looking at me. He is trying to study me.Our eyes met and I gave him a sweet smile and went back to eating."So... when's the wedding ? "Rebecca asked."In about two months." Cindy replied.Cindy and one of the male trainees named John had been dating for a year and he proposed to her when we got the weekend holiday of the month.All the girls started cheering and teasing her. On the table along with me and Anna, Rebecca, Rachel and Cindy are sitting.When we all finished washing our dishes I saw Senior Kiet standing in the hallway outside the canteen looking at me.I told Anna and others that I am going for a walk alone and would come back later."Follow me."He just said two words and started to walk towards the building exit.When we were completely alone he stopped and faced me.I smiled."You want my help ? "I said."Help ? And what would I ne
Veronica's POVFrom the next day my training under Senior Kiet started and along with the training we would spend time together in planning.-Plan is how to make Senior Eunwoo fall for Senior Kiet.-Yes!!!!!!!!Senior Koet has been in love with Senior Eunwoo from the past six years, and they have been friends for seven years. The point is it's been six years, and he still hasn't had the courage to confess his love. So, me being a nice soul…. I am helping Senior Kiet.The first plan is to find out if he is straight or not. That was a little hard as Senior Eunwoo has been single all along and had never dated in the past. So, we decided to drop the plan and directly advance to the second step, which is to make him jealous.For the second step, I told Senior Kiet to keep some distance from Senior Eunwoo for a period of time. And that period of time is going on now. So Senior Kiet has been spending more time with me than Senior Eunwoo from the past few days.Senior Kiet is worth his title
Veronica's POV I dropped the bomb and looked at Senior Kiet, whose eyes were as big as an egg due to being stunned,while not forgetting to also keep an eye on Senior Eunwoo's reaction.Senior Eunwoo looked like nothing happened but the slight shook of his hand when I said that a guy is interested in Senior Kiet didn't go unnoticed by me.His grip on the spoon tightened."Veronica, don't joke around. I was really shocked."Senior Kiet said while laughing embarrassedly."No I am not joking. He asked me for your number."I said with a serious face.His face turned red as a tomato while Senior Eunwoo's face kept on falling down."So should I give him your number? I won't lie, he had already given me his number to pass it to you so that both of you can …….you know….." I made kissing faces while teasing him.His face turned darker shade of red and he said while acting shy he said,"Well…I….uhm…"Senior Kiet kept turning his gaze between me and Senior Eunwoo.He was making weird signs tryi
At first he was still thinking whether she might be planning something on him or not but after she signed the marriage contract he had a firm suspicion on her. -Which girl in her right mind, would sign a marriage agreement so easily, without knowing the truth?- Now he has done everything he could by giving her an opportunity to get close to him and now only has to wait for her to do whatever she wanna do. -Let's wait and see what you are planning.- He started doing his work and got busy with it. Whereas on the other side, a girl's mind was about to burst from thoughts. -Wasn't it too damn easy?- -Is he that stupid or that easy to seduce?- -If it was that easy to seduce him then she has to think about it again. She can't marry such a pervert. She will be really disappointed in him.- Veronica knew nothing happened last night. It was just a passionate kiss, initiated by her. She wasn't drunk but was acting as being drunk and was acting as if she was doing everything under the in
"Now I don't wanna know."Veronica retorted.Her eyes were filled with firmness. She doesn't want to get more embarrassed than she already was.Before Victor could start anything else she decided to escape." I need to get ready for the training so I will be leaving first."Saying that Veronica scurried away immediately.Victor watched Veronica leaving with amusement and a smile appeared on his lips.But as soon as she left his eyes his smile also vanished and his face became cold.He looked at the signed papers. He doesn't love her, at least not yet. He had his reasons for signing this marriage agreement with her but love is not one of them. But he is attracted towards her though and there is something stopping him from converting this attraction into love.His emotions were complex as he looked at the signature on the papers. The phone in his pants vibrated. He took it out and after checking the caller id he accepted the call and only said four words."Come to my office."After say
"Marriage agreement??"Veronica asked in disbelief."Incase you decline your responsibility towards me." Victor replied."Wasn't it that the guy has to be the one to take responsibility in such cases? Why am I the one taking responsibility here? And I don't even know till now what I have done to you to take responsibility.""What do you think you did?"Victor said in a mocking tone."........"Veronica really wanted to smack his face."I am not signing it unless you tell me what really happened."Victor looked at Veronica who looked nervous, confused, angry and frustrated."I knew it. You never wanted to take responsibility. Look how you have refused to sign these papers. You were just putting words and weren't planning on taking action. If not you would have signed the paper without saying anything. Now you are making excuses.""I just want to know what really happened last nig-""Excuses! Excuses! These are just Excuses. You wait here. I am gonna let everyone know what kind of person
In the middle of the night two phones dinged. Amber looked at the pic sent by Aunt Lucy and smiled.-Plan accomplished!-She put down the phone and went back to sleep. It was her plan. First she made Veronica drunk then she tipped a waiter and booked all the empty rooms in the hotel so that Victor couldn't find any room for Veronica and third step was she made a call at home telling her father to come pick her up as she was drunk, can't drive but she miss them and wanna go home tonight.Aunt Lucy was her partner in crime as she gave all the maids and servants an early off today. It wasn't a high profile plan but rather a simple one but Victor still got played in the hands of these two women. It wasn't that Victor was not smart, it was just that he never would have thought that the tricks Amber used on Lucas can also be used on him by her.He was overconfident in himself and underestimated Amber and thus was caught off guard by her. He still didn't know that he got played by his own
"Aunt Lucy, I-I will take her to the room."Without waiting for Aunt Lucy to respond he carried her princess style and walked inside the house quickly. He was flustered thus he didn't notice Aunt Lucy taking pictures in her phone with a greedy but gentle expression. She looked at the pictures she had taken and after ascertaining that the pictures looks Ok she sent it to two people. After doing that Aunt Lucy walked away towards the servant quarters while humming a tune.Victor carried Veronica to the room where she stayed when she just came here or rather say when she was kidnapped and was taken here.Although the room was not used after she emptied it, it was still clean as Aunt Lucy would from time to time ask the maids to clean it. The room looked like it was cleaned just now.Victor put Veronica on the bed and gently pushed a pillow under her head and covered her with a warm blanket. After turning on the room heater and switching off the lights he was about to exit the room when
As Veronica was pushed away she groaned as her ice cream was stolen away from her.She glared at Victor and without any warning jumped on him.When the car reached its destination, two of the three people in the car felt like their survival was in front of them after crossing a jungle full of danger.Victor stepped out of the car as soon as the car came to a halt. His well styled hairs were now unruly as if he hadn't washed his head for three days. The upper two buttons of his shirt were open and the third one was missing from its place. His face was as red as a tomato and he looked like he had taken a long sprint as he took long breaths to calm his beating heart down which was beating at an abnormal rate and he could hear his heartbeat in his ears.He looked at the car warily.Without Victor knowing the driver has already slipped away silently leaving Veronica in the car for Victor to deal with. It was the first time for him to see Victor being patient with a girl and a drunk one at
In the waiting lounge Veronica was slumped on a sofa.He asked his man to book a room for her but the man came back telling him that there is no room left in the hotel. Someone has booked all the empty rooms for tonight.He didn't know that it was someone he knows that booked all the rooms.He decided to take her home with him not knowing that he will remember this night forever all his life and wouldn't want to forget it.After contemplating for a while Victor decided to take her back home with him. She was slumped on the sofa in a weird position. First he made her sit properly and after that he carried her in his arms, princess style. She grunted a little but again fell into a deep slumber.The driver was shocked to see Victor carrying a girl in his arms but being a professional he opened the back door silently.After settling her down in the back seat Victor also sat in the back with her. She was still sleeping with half her face covered by her hairs. Her body was bending towards t
"She?"He squinted his eyes as if this would make him see the face of the girl clearly.He suddenly stood up with the laptop in his hands and went running upstairs and stopped in front of a room.He knocked on the door furiously."DAD!!! Dad!"Hearing no sound coming from the other side of the door he knocked again."Dad!"Suddenly the door opened and a middle aged man came out, his face flustered while eyes showing a killing rage."What is it?!!"From the inside of the room a woman who looked to be in her late 30's came out. She was trying to smoothen down the creases on her clothes while her face was red due to blushing."Calm down George. It might be something important.""If it's not important then I am gonna kill you today."He threatened the young man, who is his son, standing in front of him. "Why? Don't you love our son?" The woman asked."Of course I love him Dear. But I love you more." He said while giving a peck on her cheek.The woman blushed while the young man showed an
"Have a glass of orange juice, maybe you would feel better after drinking it.""Hmmm."She replied while holding her head in her hands.She looked up at me and took the glass of 'juice' I was giving her and drank it.I felt bad for playing tricks on her but what can I do? The future of my brother also matters. They will thank me later just like Lucas and Grace.After knowing that there is no one playing underhanded tricks and it was just the bride and the groom's plan I let go of whatever was stopping me from drinking .I got drunk pretty fast and so was Veronica. She was slumped on the bar counter looking at me with fuzzy eyes.Third Person's POV "Veronica…what do you think about my brother….Victor.""Cold Man." Veronica replied while playing with her hands."Huh?" Amber asked and hiccupped."Bad…. person.""No..no… he is a good …person."Veronica raised her head and looked at Amber, her face red and eyes fuzzy, her upper body was swaying a little and to avoid herself from falling f
