ADAM’S POVEver since Aria stepped inside the office, my heart has not stopped fluttering. I have been anticipating for what feels like eternity.When my assistant informed me that we secured the project and would be collaborating with Jackson Company, I was overjoyed.I assumed Aria would have been aware, but her surprise upon seeing me in Clark's office revealed otherwise. Her questioning of Clark about my presence made it clear—she had believed Jackson Paragon would be the sole participant in this project.Since the moment our eyes met and our hands briefly connected in a handshake, I've found it impossible to look away from her. She's stunning, and all I can think about is how much I wish I could have her back in my life.One thing that truly lifts my spirits today is the fact that Aria came here alone. The mere thought of her potentially being accompanied by her new partner fills me with a mix of apprehension and discomfort.Clark elaborates on the significance of securing the co
LEVI’S POVToday, I learned that Aria has gone to Wellington Enterprises for a contract. The office has been eerily silent ever since I threatened to fire any staff member unwilling to work on this project. Both Suzanne and I have noticed a significant drop in the support and respect we used to command in the office.Aria's arrival has drastically altered the atmosphere. Neal's mistress is relentlessly pushing her way into Jackson Paragon, and it feels like we're all on the brink of losing our jobs. The tension is palpable, and the uncertainty about the future has everyone on edge.Initially, when Aria mentioned Wellington, I assumed she was bluffing. Confident in my belief, I instigated the team to opt out of joining her project. I wanted to wait for Neal's return, hoping he would take charge and exclude her from the project.However, I was taken aback when Neal entrusted her with the authority to manage office tasks in his absence. It was always me who took charge whenever Neal was
ARIA’S POVAdam shouldn’t think for a moment that I’m eager to work with him or that his “congratulations” have any impact on me. The truth is, I’m infuriated that he gets to be part of the same project.It's infuriating, especially since he has always been aware of how much I’ve longed to work with Wellington Enterprises. The fact that he now gets to share in this opportunity feels like a cruel twist of fate, and it’s hard to mask my frustration. He knows exactly how much this means to me, and yet here we are, forced to collaborate.Never mind. I take a deep breath and turn my thoughts to my evening attire. With my wardrobe now filled with sumptuous cocktail dresses, there's no need for any last-minute shopping trips. Stella has been designing exquisite clothes for me for various occasions, ensuring that I always have the perfect outfit ready. The thought of wearing one of her creations tonight helps me refocus and calm down.I come across a tailored sheath dress in a deep emerald gr
ARIA’S POVThe situation quickly turns into a source of embarrassment. At a business party of all places, Adam chooses to pull such a stunt? Gasps echo throughout the hall as the unexpected display of intimacy unfolds, leaving everyone in attendance stunned and uneasy. The air thickens with palpable tension, and I can feel the weight of judgemental eyes upon us.In a whirlwind of emotions, I abruptly break away from the kiss and storm off the dance floor, seething with fury. My anger intensifies as I spot Eva and Sophia among the onlookers, their presence adding to my humiliation.It's a great reminder of Adam's penchant for including them in every aspect of his life, even at professional events. The sight of them only fuels my frustration further, serving as a bitter reminder of Adam's actions and the tangled web of emotions surrounding us.Eva comes at me angrily like I have committed a very grave mistake.“You bloody bitch! How dare you seduce my brother?”As expected, Eva wastes n
ARIA’S POVDays after the business party, I haven’t heard anything from Adam or Clark. While their silence is a relief in some ways, it’s also inconvenient given that the project is about to start, and there's still so much to discuss and coordinate. I have no intention of wasting any more time.After Sophia being rushed to the hospital, I actually don’t care about Adam and Sophia, but I hope nothing is wrong with the baby. An innocent life shouldn’t be harmed because of the parents' issues.Anyway, back to work, the last time when I told my father about Levi and that everyone thinking that I have an illicit relationship with Neal and that they were talking rubbish every time, he had advised me to let them be.I'm actually here not just for the company, but on a mission to uncover why we lost some lucrative business deals and why the profits budgeted for the year don't align with the forecast. There’s more at stake than just the current project, and I need to get to the bottom of thes
ARIA’S POVI need to catch Suzanne red-handed. She's been slacking off and yet has the audacity to aspire to become a general manager. Just because she's been with the company for a long time doesn't automatically qualify her for a promotion. I'll make sure her lack of dedication doesn't go unnoticed.It's evident that she overheard everything that day and jumped to conclusions. It seems like she's taken what she heard and spun it into her own twisted narrative. Everywhere she goes, it's like she's on a mission to tarnish my reputation.It's clear her envy is consuming her, leading her to weave tales of deceit without a second thought.As I approach the executive club, I catch wind of Suzanne talking about me.“I was supposed to get that position and here comes the CEO’s mistress snatching it from me.”Her voice dripping with bitterness, she looks utterly pathetic, consumed by jealousy and resentment.The other ladies at the club are showering Suzanne with sympathy, believing that she

The air thickens with surprise and confusion as the unexpected sounds command the attention of the entire crowd.The LED screen displays an explicit sex scene between Suzanne and Uncle Sam, leaving everyone in the room utterly shocked. Gasps and whispers fill the air as the scandalous footage unfolds, revealing Suzanne's true nature and stunning the audience.The look of sheer horror on Suzanne’s face is a sight I’ve been longing to see. After enduring her contempt, smirks, and constant negativity for so many days, this moment feels like a twisted form of justice.Her confident façade crumbles instantly, replaced by panic and disbelief as she realizes the extent of her exposure. The satisfaction I feel watching her unravel is intense, a distinct contrast to the disdain she has shown me all this time.In a swift and unexpected move, a woman emerges from the crowd, her eyes
ARIA’S POVThe realization dawns on everyone present that Regis Miller, a figure of considerable influence and power, may hold the key to diffusing the escalating chaos. The sight of individuals urgently seeking his assistance unfolds as a spectacle of desperation, highlighting the gravity of the situation and the significance of his intervention.But what they do not know is that Regis is my mentor. He turns to me and what he says next surprises everyone.“Aria, why didn’t you take my help instead of trying to deal with them on your own?”A hushed whisper catches my attention, originating from a corner of the room where two women engage in covert conversation. It strikes them as odd, for Regis Miller is not known for engaging in discourse with women, especially not in such a manner.The anomaly of the situation piques my curiosity, hinting at a deeper layer of intrigue surrounding Regis's involvement.“Regis Miller in a soft tone with a woman? And that also this woman? He even know h
