Julius POV"The meeting is by 5pm tomorrow" I informed, hoping I didn't actually have to remind him about it. "Better get those files on my table by tomorrow morning" I ordered, my voice unwavering and seriousAldonis was pissing me off, he'd been messing up all the work I'd been giving to him lately and it was very annoying to say the least. He'd come to work two hours late and leave all the work for me to do at the last second. Don't get me wrong I wasn't a lazy boss neither was I the type to leave all the work for my workers but the individual responsibilities I assign to each one of them should be dutifully carried out and Aldonis seemed to be forgetting the strict rules this business follows. As my right hand he is expected the most from. He is my most trusted out of all and I expected more from him. "Okay boss, I'll get to it". I nodded unconsciously as I put down the phone, deflating into my seat. "Don't forget the dinner Julius" father reminded from beside me and I groaned
Vera POV"Don't come in here!" She screamed, making me halt in my tracks "I don't want you to catch the flu too!". Nina's voice boomed from behind her closed door."But I can take care of youI have a bowl of chicken soup with me!". I shouted back to her looking down at the bowl of soup in my hands, I sniffed the steam rising from it having prepared it a few minutes ago and smiled, loving the gingery scent"No no, don't worry about it. I-i can take care of myself. Mum is here to take care of me. Go to practice, when you're back in sure I'll feel a lot better"I remained quiet and bit on my lower lip thinking.Should I leave Nina in this condition and go for practice? I'm sure it wouldn't hurt if I'd miss a session. She wouldn't even let me see her.I had come by her room an hour ago to find out why she wasn't here yet.Louis was already waiting at the door to take us to practice like he always does, but 30 mins of waiting and Nina hadn't come down yet"Nina isn't here yet"Louis sai
Julius POVFlipping the document closed I sighed, running a hand through my disheveled hair in utter exhaustion. I had to deal with as much work as I possibly could to make up for the time of waste in that dinner. Directing my gaze to the digital clock that sits at my desk I groaned at the time reading; 6:20pm.The dinner was at 7 and dad expected me to be punctual. Considering the unreasonable distance between my office and home I didn't think he would expect me to arrive before our guests, but he was my father and his expectations for the future heir were high. Putting aside his ridiculous idea of my marriage, I rolled my eyes at the thought, I wouldn't be caught dead getting married to someone who'd just be with me for money and power. My mother was the exact example of an ideal woman, every other slut I met just needed one night and a suitcase of money. Money could buy their bodies, their values and their very beings, they were a very disgraceful species and I would be damned if
Vera's POVThe car came to a sudden halt. I sat up and looked outside the window to see the biggest house I'd ever laid eyes on. It wasn't even a house, it was a mansion. We were stopped in front of a huge black metal gate, I could see beyond the gate were acres of land so large you could fit three sizes of my house into this compound. A man in a black suit, his hair slicked back and eyes covered with black brooding sunglasses walked up to dad's window. They spoke in his hushed tones, before the mysterious man walked back and the grand gates were opened. I directed my gaze to Nina to see if she was as confused as I was as to why we were here. She was staring wide eyed and drooling over everything. I looked out to the beautiful garden surrounding the exterior of the house in awe. The beautiful radiant flowers added to the exotic look of the mansion. Beside every point men in black suits stood stoically. We drove to a fountain where the car stopped and dad came out, going to open the
Julius's POVWalking into my room I was shocked and angry to see my room door ajar. None of the maids were allowed into my room, only Genevieve and she was currently in her quarters so who would dare walk in my room. I walked in quietly, moving lightly towards my study that was left open too. I stopped in my tracks when my eyes fell on someone. Her back was facing me, she traced her fingers along my books, pulling one out she admired it in her hands while I stared at her, my brows knitted in confusion. Her unique ginger hair cascaded down the middle of her back, stopping below back, from where I stood I could see she had on a white dress and after letting my eyes travel down her full length I could see she had a pretty alluring figure. But why was she here? "Excuse me!?" I called out, my voice higher than I intended. I watched as she jumped, turning around. My brows furrowed and it seemed like everything stopped once my eyes met hers. Her eyes were black, like two big buttons with

Her unique ginger hair was thrown at the bottom of her head in a low bun, few strands leaking out of it's messy confinements, from where I stood I could see she had on a white dress and after letting my eyes travel down her full length I could see she had a pretty alluring figure.

Vera's POVThe morning sun kissed my face as it sipped through my silk curtains. I opened my eyes and sat up yawning.I turned my head and took in my surroundings.My clothes from yesterday were scattered all over the room and my bathroom door was left ajar.I ran my hands down my face trying to get rid of the layer of sleep still in my eyes.All of a sudden my door burst open and Lexi came running in as she jumped on me and I fell back, hard "Happy Birthday Ver!"She exclaimed and mum followed into the room giggling."That's enough Lexi"Mum was still giggling as Lexisqueezed me till I felt my back pop"LexiT-too tight"I struggled to breath and fell out of the bed once she let me go.Yep that was my bestie LexiShe was a year younger and was part of our trio of Luios,Lexiand I.Lexi and Luios were unidentical twins.They both had the most beautiful black hair and she was really preety.She was those kind of friends every girl had,the type of friend who forced you to shop and put
Vera's POVI got the feeling this man was either an enemy or a threat to the Chrysantos, seeing the reaction on both Julius and Zeus's faces.The men that surrounded me were quietly leading me to the back door where every other woman had been taken. I scanned the area relentlessly for Lexi ,mum and Nina but I couldn't see them. All of a sudden we came to a halt. I turned my head to see a gun poiinyed straight at me. My upper arms was gripped with an iron Fist. My heart was racing like it was going to beat out of my chestHe hurled me to himself as he walked me to the centre where the Scarry man was."You didn't invite me for you engagement Julius.I am so offended"He used his finger to tip my jaw so I could look straight into his eyes. My stomach churned at the thought of what he was going to do to me."And you are getting married to such a beauty .Hmmm" he smirked as he looked back at them."It'll be such a shame if something unforseen was to happen" "Don't do this Ludwick.She
