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
"Did you date the Chairman?" Tiara whispered a question to her. Her eyes looked anticipating waiting for Kathleen's answer. Kathleen chuckled a bit in embarrassment and nodded her head lightly. "So the rumours were true? That Mr Castell proposed to you during Valentine's Day in front of Miss Donna Taylors?" Tiara got even more curious about it. She knew how much Aaron hated all his previous secretaries that tried to seduce him before. So, it was truly fascinating that Kathleen managed to steal his cold indifferent heart. "Hmm..." Kathleen felt hesitant to answer. Truthfully, she just made it official with Aaron last Friday. What happened in front of Donna Taylors before was just a pretence. But, she couldn't possibly expose that information to anyone as it might embarrass Aaron for using his secretary as his fake girlfriend. "Yeah..." she ended up just concurring with Tiara's assumption. "Wow... that's intense," Tiara looked more excited about the rel
Ryan's heart had been bitter since last Friday. But now it was getting bitter and bitter each time he saw Aaron showing affection to Kathleen. He felt like his heart was about to burst with intense frustration.His eyes stared at Kathleen's reaction when Aaron held her hand forcefully in front of everyone else. He could sense that she was uncomfortable by it but Aaron didn't seem to care how she felt. That enraged Ryan even more, having the thought that Aaron didn't know how to treat Kathleen properly and respectfully.'Let's see if you can still hold her hand like that when I push you to the ground,' Ryan's heart went dark. The hesitation of taking revenge on Aaron before suddenly gone. Now, he was dead sure that he really wanted to bring down this arrogant man.His shares inside Aeroxx Corporation were merely ten per cent, so it wouldn't affect him much if that company went down. He could always come back to work at Thompson Corporation, his father's company.
"Aeroxx's microchip project?" Nora was a bit stunned by his offer. "Do you know that Kathleen worked with Aeroxx Corporation right now?" Ryan intrigued her even more. "Yes..." "Then, do you want to see her lose her job?" "Wait... Weren't you siding Kathleen just now?" Nora was confused. This guy just mocked her severely because of Kathleen before. But now, he suddenly wanted to scheme on making Kathleen lose her job. "I did. She's not my target. Do you know that Kathleen and the Chairman of Aeroxx Corporation are dating right now?" "You mean Kathy and Aaron Castell?" Nora smirked and chuckled a bit, finally able to read Ryan's intention a little. "Yeah..." he sounded bitter. "I smell some jealousy..." Nora said to him scornfully. "My standard is high. I don't date stupid women like you. I only date someone like Kathleen, who knows how to use her brain properly in the corporate world. You too won't be able to aff
At that question, Aaron halted in movement and his eyes slowly rolled up to see Ryan."Of course, I had that thought too," he said."Then, aren't you going to investigate?" Ryan tried to trigger his curiosity over that matter. He wanted to lead Aaron into checking Kathleen's family background."You know... these things never happened to us before. It only happened recently, so I reckoned one of the new employees that we hired might be the spy for Campbell. Maybe those who worked with us less than six months," Ryan added."And who were they? You're the one responsible to hire the employees inside this company, who were those people?" Aaron got intrigued."There's only a few. I can give you the profile of those employees later. You do know that Kathleen is one of them, right?" Ryan deliberately mentioned it."So?" Aaron was unbothered."Don't you want to find out why she suddenly managed to seduce you into having a special relationship
"Who is it?" Kathleen asked softly."It's my mom," he replied instantaneously. His eyes still stared at the phone screen, feeling hesitant to take the call."Aren't you going to pick that up?" She felt confused that he was being unresponsive over the phone call."Hmm... no probably..." and the ringing stopped again. Aaron put the phone on a small coffee table beside the bed and faced Kathleen again. He was about to hug her but his phone rang for the third time. He sighed heavily and finally took the call. It was still his mother who was calling him."Goodness, Aaron! If I'm in a car accident and calling you for help, I must surely have died waiting for you to pick up my call," Lily Campbell was annoyed right after her son finally picked up her call."You sounded fine, mom..." Aaron replied half-heartedly."This kid! I didn't raise you wholeheartedly for you to treat me like an option. Have dinner with me tonight. I'll make the reservation la
"But I'm on the list too..." Kathleen replied nervously but Aaron quickly shook his head and smiled at her. He held both her hands and cupped them in his hands. He looked her deeply in the eyes as if trying to pierce into her soul. He could feel her innocence through her mellow eyes."I trusted you, honey. That's why I chose you to do this for me," he said gently."Why can't you just ask Ryan to do this for you?" She wondered. Ryan had been there by his side since he first established the company. Considering that fact, Ryan should be the person Aaron trusted the most inside the company."I had been having a lot of arguments with Ryan lately. And most of them were rather personal than business matters.""You're saying that you don't trust Ryan anymore?" She was bewildered."No... That's not it. I just thought that the one who did this to me was someone close to me. I just wanted to be careful with everyone. Except for you of course. You'd been on m
"Well... yes... Aaron told me to give you these. He said you knew what to do with them," Ryan replied normally while handing her the employees' profiles in his hand. Kathleen took all the papers immediately and nodded a bit. Then, Ryan left to enter his office room again.Since the company lost a lot of potential projects, Aaron stayed inside the office during lunch hour, having himself busy dealing with other potential clients. This time instead of asking Ryan or the Managing Director to do it, he did it himself. He was not sure who was the one inside the company that tried to sabotage him but at least one of the higher-ups should be involved because all the project collaborations that he lost before were all potentially high-profit projects.Kathleen went out by herself, informing Aaron that she would buy him lunch and would return to the company later so they could eat together. Usually, she wouldn't even bother herself to do such a thing for him. But today, she rea
"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
