(Venal POV)
My employees notified me after the conference that Master Dryzen's luggage had arrived. I discovered him analyzing ancient relics in the laboratory with some highly adept scientists.
"Master Dryzen, the collected pawn gems have arrived."
Master Dryzen removed his gloves and then turned away from what he was doing. I followed him into the room where the expensive jewelry was being delivered. Master Dryzen was motivated to collect the pawned jewels because he was looking for a rare stone. He wishes that the key to the dragon's kingdom would be in his hands sooner. We, and especially him, amassed a collection of pawnbrokers' jewelry, supposedly containing the stone he sought.
On the table were rows of highly protected sealed luggage. The staff opened it one at a time, so Master Dryzen could see what was within. We looked through a lot, but it was clear from Master Dryzen's expression that he wasn't finding what he was search
(Venal POV)"I think that's the perfect dress for you." I overheard a man remark for Miss Dahlia. I need to capture his image to figure out who he is, so I'll stay where I am. And if I have the chance to confront Miss Dahlia, I should tellher the Dragon prince's desire. Whatever happens, she must agree with me."Within one hour, I take off this itchy dress." It's Miss Dahlia's irritated voice. She seemed to be irritated by the clothing... That indicates she was compelled to wear the gown.Wait. Did I give my supervisor incorrect information? Tss. I take a long breath and rub my temples, trying to figure out how to explain this misinterpretationto my boss. My life was jeopardized as a result of my actions. Damn. What are you really doing here Miss Dahlia?"Please take this as a warning, Miss Dahlia.If you did something wrong, your loved ones would perish one by one."Oh
(Dahlia POV)They were about to drag me, but I managed to elude their grasp."I'm sure it's apparent to you, Miss Dahlia, what we discussed. So you have to cooperate with them.” Cedrick reminds me. "You know what will happen if we don't arrive at Master Kai's dinner in time. So, be obedient and collaborate with them."The only thing I could do with what Cedrick said was stared at him evilly. I really didn't expect my situation to be like this. I need to end the madness; they are doing to our family. For now, I should be obedient and follow their desire.I didn't oppose when they dragged me. I couldn't complain because they were obviouslyin a hurry.“Take a bath first Miss, within four minutes. Allow them to assist you to make things easier. I'll simply talk to Cedrick about giving more time he provides us to get you ready. Tss. He thinks it is easy to makeoversomeone like you. It's obvious we will have a har
(Dahlia POV)"Wonderful work, ladies!" Laurel appeared and expressed his appreciation for his team's ability to perform my makeover. But the way he looked at me, he seemed dissatisfied, perhaps he is a little jealous, and insecure about me"She's changed in some ways. She no longer smells like a street rat."What do you expect from a lady locked within a man's body? If a gay person isn't friendly, they're rude and uncomfortable, which has driven them to be criticized harshly. If he doesn't stop hurling insults at me and my patience runs out, I won't be able to resist tossing my fist at him. So, Mr. Laurel, if I were you, please shut up.I'm not bragging about what's going on right now. I'm really annoyed, Laurel. If you could only be me, I'd let it happen. You appear to be quite interested in dating that pompous prince."Bring in the outfits I picked out for her. Let's see whether my lovely dresses fit her. Tsk."
(Dahlia POV)We boarded an elevator reserved for VIP guests. Cedrick and I were the onlypassengers on the elevator, as his men remained at the hotel lounge. Until Cedrick shattered the silence between us."If I were you, Miss Dahlia, I would be polite and mindful of my manners when in the presence of Master Kai. So he doesn't become overly interested in you. You know what I mean, right?”"Is that a gentle nudge, Cedrick?" He's older than I am. But, despite the wrinkles in his eyes and the poor quality of his skin, he wasn't so older to be unsightly. Cedrick was also an attractive man. Is he already married? Does he have children? I don't think so. With everything he does as a millionaire businessman's secretary, I doubt he has time to mingle. Poor Cedrick."It's a point of concern for you, Miss. You have no idea who he is.""Too arrogant is the best way to describe him. That was
(Dahlia POV)"So, how do you like it? Did you know I can give you anything you want?" I was about to laugh at what he said. Me? Will like this?Shut up, Kai.“Mister, I'm sorry." I chuckle to insult him. "But I have no intention to wear this for the rest of my life. No." I shook my head. “Actually, I'd like to take off this irritating clothing. Why did I need to dress up like this when we were simply going to eat dinner? Do you have any feelings for me?""Yes, there is." But he had a mischievous grin on his face. "And if you wish, I could make you my wife."I took the glass of water. I drank it till it was empty.I'm disgusted by what he's saying. What did I say that he didn't understand? I hope he didn't try to force me to do what he wanted again. But he was obviously just playing me."There is no poisonous substance in my drink
(Venal POV)We are on the terrace. The wind was howling. I can feel the cold that makes me quite shiver.Master Dryzen sipped his tea elegantly while staring outside. His gaze was directed at the dinner taking place on the terrace of a well-known Five-star Hotel. I knew he could hear what they were discussing.I blocked him earlier from entering the Five-Star hotel before it was too late. There are so many people in that place, and we can't possibly cover what Master Dryzen will do. His annoyance subsided when I told her why Miss Dahlia had to face the Grand Alpha of the werewolves, Kai. She was forced to have a dinner date with the Grand Alpha.The Grand Alpha group was the only group he is avoiding. Werewolves were aware that Master Dryzen blood can grant them immortality. Master Dryzen was well aware of the sole competency of those who served him. We, as humans, have little chance against the vicious and aggressive werewo
(Venal POV)My team and I made our way up to the floor where Miss Dahlia was. I was not mistaken that the security on the floor was stricter. However, because we were disguised as hotel maintenance personnel, they let us in after inspecting our cleaning supplies.A simple way to avoid getting noticed, act normally in response to what you disguised.When Kevin informs me that the target has departed from her place. It simply means that Miss Dahlia walked outin front of the werewolf's alpha."The target is heading to the restroom, thirty-five-degree longitude, and sixty-one latitudes." When I heard it, I couldn't help but grin. It's a great opportunity to pick up her quickly.I gave the signal for my men to get ready. I order them to change their location. We needed to get closer to the target a as much as possiblebefore I detonated the device.When Miss Dahlia reaches her destination, she arrives just in time sinc
Taming the Dangerous CEOSynopsis:(Atty. Elthon POV)
(Dahlia POV)What time is it? Is Grandma asleep? Did she have a good dinner? Should I wake her up?Many questions are bothering me, but I couldn't help but inform her of my arrival."Grandma, I'm here." As I took off my shoes, and even though I am curious that Grandma didn't answer immediately, I just thought that she might be asleep.The night was getting deep.I hung my sling bag and took out the food that just needed to be heated from the fridge. But to be honest, I didn't feel like eating. But I still put it in the oven to heat it up. Tonight, I want to research what I can do to get my book back from Yuki. If I need an attorney, it may be impossible, but I will look for an affordable one if they charge.I was about to go up to my room when I glanced at Grandma's room door. So I decided to check on her.I opened the door slightly and peered at Grandma's bed. The room was quite dark, so I lit it up. Hopefully, Grandma won't wake up.When her room was lit, she wasn't on her bed. Wher
(Yuki POV)“While those bitches you call, have a status in the association.”I give him a forced smile. "I do not care Cedrick. As long my brother Kai was at my side I would never falter. Why not admit that you are just an envious creature. How pity. My brother Kai values someone like me a lot. Despite of being human, weak? But all my wishes are granted by him. Well, you're just his secretary and nothing more bond to you with my brother, but your job. He just orders you, and you need to obey. If you make him angry, he might punish you with death. Aren't you scared Cedrick?”It is time for me to push him at the truth's edge. “I am more precious than to his own kind.”He smirked. “Fine. Let’s see. I will let you go on your way Miss Yuki and test your brother’s treatment to you. If you thought that we are like dog, that have a sense loyalty to a human, you are in danger Miss Yuki.”“Dog. If you are dog, Cedrick, you will be the most outrageous one.”“Maybe. Especially having you as my ma
(Yuki POV)We arrived at the threshold of the company; I didn't bother to go to the reception desk. I went straight to the executive floor. And all the eyes I pass are normally peculiar, mostly werewolves. Why should I be surprised, Brother Kai was their Grand Alpha in this generation. Walking with a confidence I didn’t bother about my safety, who are they to attack their Grand Alpha's beloved sister? I was especially escorted with Grand Alpha’s men, and they were recognized by their fellow.I come here once a blue moon, after brother Kai talked to me after my previous visit. He warns me personally that it is dangerous for me. It might be too late for an attack if the newbies aren't informed about me.I knew the way exactly to his office, since there are no major changes. When I got to his office, the guard on the door met my gaze and I expected them to recognize me. They did as they opened the door. Even though I hadn't seen yet my brother, I greeted him sweetly, but it was wasted fo
(Yuki POV)When Mr. Owen left, I walked around the garden while the servants were taking care of the dog that I murdered. When I couldn't find peace and calm myself, I returned to their presence. They immediately halted to what they were doing and slightly bowed in front of me."Call Cedrick right now.” I take a seat. “I don't care what he's doing right now, I just want to know the whereabouts of my brother.""But Miss Yuki, the Master instruction will be violated, especially these hours, we should not disturb them.” The butler cares to respond."I know.” I looked at him. “But the only one that I respect is my brother Malcolm. Cedrick is my intention to be disturbed. You heard me clearly, right? It is him I want you to phone, not my brother. Don’t be stupid.”The butler bowed, even though there’s a hesitation but he couldn’t defy my words. He signals one of his men to phone the mere secretary of my brother.When Cedrick answered the call I couldn't wait to grab the phone from the butl
(Yuki's POV)“And who is she Miss Yuki? As you refer her as ‘her.’” I caught his curiosity.“You, yourself gave me that idea having a ghost writer. Didn’t you?” I didn’t bother to answer his inquisitiveness. But confirm with a nod. He likes the idea not only I would have an assistant to my career, also to divert my mood and he sees some hope that I won't take my anger out on him.“Though there is a problem finding her. It is only my brother who can tell me where I can find her. But it's just a simple problem not to compromise your time especially in part of my brother. Tss. She is just a mere aspiring writer. It is easily to find her. If she declines me even though I place a few cases of money in front of her, she is prideful of herself. Didn’t she, Mr. Owen.”“I agree with you on that Miss Yuki.” Tsk. He always agreed in front of me. “I know she will not decline you.”“I hope so. I hope she is like you who sells his integrity.” Then I grinned at him. I slap him with my words so good.
Alexandra POV)“Tss. This is the reason why you are willing to visit me? I think I need to repeat myself again Mr. Owen. If they make a movie adoption, won't there be a lot of maggots stealing my idea? Make it as a cliché. Get some inspiration and they will make a different version so that it won't be seen that they plagiarized it? Don’t you get it Mr. Owen?”In truth, the real reason behind is I don’t want to make the story famous that I didn’t write. If I let them make a movie adoption, it is obvious that a lot of movie enthusiast will love it. It is like a silent bullet for myself, that proves there is someone better than me.I hate it. I don’t want to lose to that mere commoner!Dahlia… Who are you to take everything away from me?! I need to put an end of this.“Miss Yuki. Please consider and think about it. We both aware that this is possible to your story. It is also part of the contract you signed with our company."“Tss. How sweet. Owww. Thank you for your concern but I am not
(Yuki POV)I couldn’t wait him without doing something. I might end up killing those around me.“Prepared the garden for me and gather those ingredients for brewing the tea.”“As you wish Miss Yuki.” They hurriedly move and before I can reach the garden, they settle the things that I need. I am determined to beat that woman. I hate her. I really do. Even though I didn’t meet her in person. In case it happened I might kill her.Brewing some various type of tea in garden might help me inspired. However, I ended up wasting the ingredients without determining the proper brewing her tea. Tsk. What is her magic? If the taste of my tea didn’t satisfied me, it is also means that brother Kai will don’t like it. Of course he will compliment my effort but hide the fact that I couldn’t beat his woman’s tea. Bulsh*t! Tsk.The butler arrived and bowed in my presence. “Miss Yuki, your editor has arrived.”“Show him the way here.”Mr. Owen was escorted in, and when he saw me, he greeted me with a c
(Yuki's POV)Everything seems placid to me. Too comfortable early in the morning. Taking a welcome breath of the moist air. It is fresh and too serenity. I guess there a group of people praising my name without my knowing. I will be glad.“Miss Yuki!” I incline my head toward the direction where the voice come. “You have a call. It is from Mr. Owen.” It is the butler.I immediately got up from my seat, and approached the butler before he could get to me. I grab the phone, and Mr. Owen happily greeted me in the line. I know it is impossible to reject the manuscript I sent to him. It is my hurl to them and will change their perspective about my stain reputation. They will be glad, satisfied and flattery words will never omit again. No one will gonna believe now how they discriminate me. I am still the best writer, ever. Tsk.“Good morning Mr. Owen. Your call, I expect that you have a good reason.”“Miss Yuki, your so awesome! I am delighted with your masterpiece. The novel you submitted
(Secretary Venal POV)After Miss Dahlia makes her exit the tension grows more intense. There is a deafening silent when suddenly Master Dryzen laughter fill the entire chamber. Everyone feels an intimidation, which makes us bow down in his direction. His laughed turn into a chuckle.He is entertained. “You know Venal, I think the two weeks I have given to you are too long. It seems like century. I think I might run out of my patience for you to persuade that woman. Of all the women I married, she is the only one who gives me a strange attitude. She struggles to fought but it was obvious that she is weak. How long will she stand to decline my offer? She is getting into my nerves.”I admit, what he is telling me is not good to hear. Still rooting he doesn’t try to rush this matter. Two weeks was not enough for me to convince his chosen. Having a tea with her is tough to request."Just make sure I don't get bored and have my schedule full for I wouldn’t dare to cut my given time to yo
