"Where's your car?" Aaron asked when they were out of the restaurant.
"I didn't drive here," Kathleen replied.
"Then, how did you get here? Ryan picked you up?" He sounded jealous.
"No. I took the subway."
Her answer made him feel at ease for no reason. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and walked by her side, leading her to his car that was parked nearby. However, Kathleen suddenly brushed off his hand and took a step backwards, distancing herself from him. She faced him bravely with annoyance flashing across her face.
"Why are you doing this?" She asked.
"Doing what?" Aaron was confused. Both of them looked like a quarrelling couple right now.
"This. Why did you come here?"
"Oh, so I'm supposed to just stay quiet and let Ryan dupe you into having a dinner date with him tonight? Is that so?" He was vexed.
"That's not what I meant."
"Then what did you mean?"
"Why did you come here? You could have just
Her head slowly turned to Aaron and she gave him a sharp glare. Seeing her sharp look, Aaron looked away instantly like a child who was scared to be rebuked. 'Should I just go? It didn't seem like she's choosing me right now,' he muttered in his heart."Aaron told me," Ryan said to Kathleen and she looked at him again."Why would he need to tell you that?" Kathleen was slightly mad, thinking that Aaron told Ryan about it for fun, probably to boast about his pride because he managed to get laid with his secretary."Because I asked him. I wanted to know why Rodney came to the company the other day and attacked you. So, Aaron told me the backstory of it and it was inevitable for him to hide what happened that night," Ryan explained."So, he didn't tell you on purpose?" Kathleen wondered and Ryan nodded his head."Back then, he didn't seem like he was into you. But now..." Ryan said and they both turned to look at Aaron again."It's obvious. Now
Kathleen was silent and then she swiftly checked the time. 'Right... it was late already...' she muttered internally while exhaling slowly, showing her frustration. Her face fell as she opened the car door to get out of the car unwillingly.Aaron got off the car immediately, trying to catch up with her pace. He opened the front door for her and gestured his hand politely to invite her in."Is there no one else inside your house right now?" She asked, having hesitation to step into the house."Yup. All my servants went home by nine. It's past nine now so... no one's around. It's just us," he replied while giving her a meaningful smile.He slowly pushed the back of her waist and led her into the house. Then he locked the front door hastily."So if I kill you right now, no one will know?" She turned around and faced him, asking him that absurd question with a serious gaze.Aaron was momentarily stunned, but then he chuckled after a while. He ap
"You don't have the right to say no inside my house," he replied bluntly and threw the black sleeping lingerie on the bed. Then he swiftly entered the bathroom.Kathleen twitched her lips in annoyance. She grabbed the lingerie from the bed and looked at it closely. Her mind began to imagine herself wearing it and having Aaron ogling her like prey. It only took her five seconds to become disgusted by the thought. She quickly shook her head to spurn the idea from her mind."No, I'm not going to wear this. What kind of lecherous thought that he had in his head asking me to wear this?" She muttered alone while throwing the lingerie back to the bed.She went to the cupboard instead and scanned the other female clothes that he got for her. Apart from the sleeping lingeries, everything looked pretty decent actually. Kathleen unconsciously nodded her head in approval.'He got a great taste,' her mind praised the man. She saw a thin casual white dress that looked
She gulped in nervousness, having her mind thinking something indecent when he said that. He brushed all her hair to the front, placing it over her left shoulder and exposing the back of her neck. Kathleen could feel a kiss land on her skin there. His warm breath breezed across her neck and his hands slowly moved up to her chest, squeezing her bosom gently. "Kathy... how about doing a little bit of exercise?" Aaron provoked her deliberately. His words were uncanny, certainly, she knew what he meant. She was not that innocent anyway. She turned her head haltingly and met his gaze gradually. He gave her a ravishing smile this time. In that dimmed surroundings, she observed his face attentively, something that she never thought about doing before. Her heart was suddenly pounding hard, finally realizing how good looking this man was. 'Why did I never realize that before?' Kathleen wondered. There were a lot of clear signs that her boss was a handsome and fine you
Her mind was too full of the thought that Aaron hated Campbell that she didn't even respond to his act of stripping her clothes one by one. By the time she got a hold of herself again, the man in front of her was already without a single strand while she was only wearing her bra. She could see Aaron playfully swirling his index finger with her panties around it and then throwing them to the floor later.Her breath was getting heavy as that man slowly pushed her down to lie on the bed again. He stared at her amorously and kissed her forehead. He could feel her heart beating fast when he put his palm on her chest."Why are you so nervous? This isn't our first time," he said flirtatiously while looking her deeply in the eyes. A smile of satisfaction appeared on his face and his thumbs stroked her cheeks while he grasped her head. Slowly, he leaned his head closer to hers and kissed her passionately. About a minute later, he pulled his head back as his mind realized someth
Abigail Shaw woke up that morning with both her eyes having dark circles. After Aaron ruined her date with Axel Livon last night, that man no longer wanted to be associated with her. He refused to pick up all her calls or reply to any of her text messages. After pestering him the whole night, he suddenly blocked her number and she could no longer contact him. She cried her heart out last night until it was almost dawn. Only God knew how much she tried hard to get Axel to notice her existence and she even bribed a lot of people to help her get a date with him. She had been trying to get that guy for three months and finally got the chance to date him for the first time last night. But Aaron simply ruined the date in seconds. If he just ruined the date, she could still accept it. But Aaron also ruined her reputation as a woman and slandered her with something untrue. She was truly devastated by it that she felt like killing herself last night. She washed her face insid
Nora Campbell parked her car across the road in front of the Emerald Hotel building. She had promised to meet Rodney after lunch today. That hotel was their usual place for their secret meeting. That was also the same hotel where Kathleen caught them both getting out of a room after having sex. She smiled as she entered the lobby, getting her head rewinding the memory of when Kathleen found out about her secret affair with Rodney. That was truly a satisfying moment for her. She check-in into her usual room on the fifth floor. Even the receptionist at the front desk recognized her as she had been staying at that hotel for quite a lot of time. She even got listed as the VIP guest there. In ten minutes, she got into her room and lay down on the bed leisurely, waiting for Rodney to arrive. It had been so long since she got laid with a man, so this time she was determined to seduce Rodney again to spend some good time with her. "He did me so good last time
Nora excitedly went to him and sat on his lap shamelessly. She began to kiss Rodney boldly in a lecherous way. That man slowly ran his hands all over her body and after a few minutes of kissing wildly, she slowly went down and unhooked his pants. She grabbed his crotch gently and rubbed it using her hand until it got hard. Gradually, Rodney got aroused and Nora bowed her head between his thighs and pleasured him orally.Three hours passed and Rodney was finally satisfied, having Nora pleasured him with different kinds of positions in bed. He sat on the edge of the bed and began to put on his shirt again. His mind was thinking if Kathleen would last that long in bed with him as Nora did. No matter how much he had done it with Nora, his heart was still yearning to have a taste of Kathleen's body. He drugged her during the Aeroxx anniversary party before for that reason, but then again Aaron saved her and he was sure that man must have done her in bed. The thought of it made him
"You must be the less popular Castell, you didn't seem to be able to find anyone to mingle with at this party," Liam approached Adrian Castell from behind. The man turned around instantly at his words and scoffed when he realized it was Liam."So did you. The only Campbell who got invited," Adrian jested back."I talked with Aaron a bit just now," Liam went to stand beside him and offered to clink their drink glasses together, as a sign of affinity. Adrian just went along with it and then they sipped on their drinks while staring at the exact same spot, Sandra and her friends."She probably going to be my sister-in-law in the future. So I ought to come to her birthday party and make peace with her," Adrian remarked."Are you sure? Has Aaron introduced her to your family?""Not yet. Actually, he didn't really seem to give much thought to dating this woman... I mean, he had his entire focus on the company development, I don't think he had the time to date around.""So, why do you think
When Aaron left Sandra alone heartlessly, Seth Martin approached her. He took out a small velvet box from his suit and gave it to her. It looked like a ring box because it was small. Sandra thought it was a ring so she didn't dare to accept it."Just open it first," Seth said solemnly. He didn't put her birthday present on the gift table along with the other presents she got from her friends before. That was because he wanted to give it to her by himself.She took it carefully and glanced at Aaron that now stood so far away. The guy didn't seem to care about what she was doing. Sandra sighed heavily and opened the small box from Seth. There was a pair of pink crystal earrings inside."I thought it might match your personality. You always wore pink ballerina dress when you're teaching your students at the academy," Seth remarked."Thank you..." She replied slowly, showing almost no reaction after seeing the earrings. Her heart was still a bit disappointed that Aaron hadn't thought abou
Instantly, the word 'marriage' came up in Liam's mind. 'Did he mean having a truce through marriage?' He wondered. Aaron turned around and was about to leave him alone."Regardless, you won't be able to get back with Kathy. She didn't use our family name. So, she would be out of the picture for the truce arrangement," Liam said to die our Aaron's expectation of having a chance to be with Kathleen again."Really? Then, there's still Nora. Let's see what Kathy would think seeing her ex-husband marrying her half-sister. Let's just be one big happy family," Aaron emphasized his last sentence purposely, to piss off Liam."So, you're going to just agree to marry someone who steal from you before and ruined your company despite having a girlfriend right now? Look at Sandra right there. She's all happy thinking you love her wholeheartedly. But here you are plotting revenge on my family through a marriage arrangement. You're really a heartless guy, Aaron. Kathy would be so disappointed with yo
In the same week, Liam suddenly got an invitation to go to a birthday party at a local clubhouse owned by Castell Corporation, The Heritage. He felt odd about it because he didn't know who the person celebrating the birthday was. It was actually Sandra Wilson.A few months after Kathleen left, Aaron got back together with Sandra. He did it out of frustration, trying to find a way out of his feelings for Kathleen. The relationship went well but he never go intimate with Sandra. He still kept his boundary with her despite people starting to notice their relationship. In fact, he never made any special announcement or declaration saying that Sandra was his new partner. They were just together casually.On a Tuesday night, he held a surprise birthday party for Sandra. It was her thirtieth birthday party and Aaron invited all her friends and his friends too. Even Liam was included in the invitation. Certainly, Aaron deliberately did that to show Liam how well he moved on from his past marr
Rodney just shook his head as a response and all the policemen left his private room, giving him some privacy to rest. He was about to lie down on the bed again but his phone rang. He took it out from his suit that was placed on the bedside table, thinking that it might be a call from his family. But when he checked the caller ID, it was Nora Campbell."Fuck you! I'm not going to fucking answer that," he cursed alone while just throwing the phone back on his suit. He didn't dare to answer the call because it might be a test from Liam. Who knows what kind of trouble he might get into again if he answers the call from Nora? He had promised Liam last night that he won't bother Nora nor Kathleen again so from this moment forward, he had obstinately decided to never be in contact with any of the women at least for a few months.***"Are you sure about this?" Liam was on the phone with Kathleen. It had been two months since she left the country."Yeah... I think it would be better this way.
He saw Liam staring at him with some kind of menacing expression. Rodney got an instant reaction of trying to escape the room. He stood up and went after the door, but Liam was faster to block the exit."Not so fast..." Liam said with a sinister laugh."You just arrived..." he added and pushed Rodney's chest, making the man sit down again."I... I... I think I can't be too long here. I'm sure my parents won't let me stay out too late," Rodney stuttered in his words, trying to find some excuse to escape."Oh... come on Rodney. We're of the same age. I'm sure you could find some better excuse than that," Liam replied snickeringly."Why do you want to meet up with me anyway? We aren't that close. If this is about Kathy, I swear I never bother her anymore after she broke the engagement. I really never bother or pester her anymore. I swear," Rodney begged to be spare as Liam leaned his body closer to him and his collar was grabbed."You should have walked away silently after Kathy found y
"What did you say? What's his name again?" The man seemed in a state of disbelief. He wished that he just heard it wrongly."Aaron Castell," but Luffy repeated the same name.Liam was speechless. He glanced at his stepmother and the woman could see from his expression that something was wrong."Why?" She asked in anxiousness."Aaron came," Liam murmured to her in an almost inaudible voice."Sir?" Luffy was still in the line, waiting for the next order from Liam."Don't let him in. I'm coming there," Liam said and put down the phone.Victoria wanted to follow him out of the house but he told her to just stay inside. She was not in a stable condition right now and he feared she might lash out at Aaron for hurting Kathleen before. He didn't want the situation to get worse as their family were already enemies with the Castell.Aaron stood beside his car that stopped right in front of the main gate of Campbell's manor. He was waiting for the gate to be opened but the guard said he was not
"It's Aaron."The answer Liam gave made her sigh heavily. She felt like she wanted to berate Kathleen for making such a major decision without discussing it with her. Aaron Castell was the only legitimate heir of Castell Corporation. Even though that young man was not yet in charge of the company right now, everyone knew he would be the one who would replace Edward Castell to take control of Castell Corporation later. In short, Aaron was not someone that anyone would want to mess with. Now her daughter had been associated closely with that man, even to the extent of having married together. If Kenneth knew about this, Victoria was sure her husband would surely accuse Kathleen of trying to betray Campbell Corporation."This is bad. Don't tell your dad about this. I don't want the other Campbell to pick on Kathleen again. Are you sure they had really divorced? Why did they divorce? Wait... during the microchip launching event... we did introduce Kathy to Aaron. Did he not know that she
Later that evening when it was time to clock out from work, Aaron received a call from Detective Leon. He didn't hope to get much news about Kathleen that soon because he just hired the investigator this morning."Mr Castell, I'd check and saw your wife's car driving around the city about three days ago in the morning. And then later that day she parked in front of a hotel, I'm guessing she stayed there for a day. The next day, her car was seen driving into the Campbell's manor. And it never gets out from there until today. I think she's probably there inside that residential," Detective Leon explained through the phone.Aaron was silent to hear that information. But a smirk slowly appeared on his face. 'So, you're not that innocent after all. In the end, you returned to your vile family again,' he muttered internally, slightly having his mind assuming the bad about Kathleen again. He felt a bit disappointed that she left him before, thinking that maybe he was wrong. But after the det
