(Yuki POV)My brother’s arrogant secretary did stay and a while ago he phoned my brother about the reason why I couldn’t go home yet. Pride and arrogance are attached to Cedrick’s gaze. As if he knew already the result of my search and I would fail to win back my brother's heart.I know that the recipe book existed. I really need it and it is somewhere here.I didn’t idle for my pride is at the stake. I search for the recipe book and don’t trust my stupid, useless staff looking for it. I search and rummage through every shelf and box. Although it is disappointing because I find nothing after several minutes have passed.Cedrick suddenly put down the tablet and stood up. He is looking in my direction. He approached me.“It's been an hour Miss Yuki. You make Master Kai wait for nothing. You have to give up now Miss Yuki.”“I will never be going to give up just like this Mr. Harmon. Even I spend the entire night looking for the recipe book. I know it exists. Go home if you want.”Cedrick
(Yuki POV)I'm going home not because they want me to go home, but because I want to talk to brother Kai sincerely about a woman named Dahlia. It looks like my brother wants to hide her and protect that woman against me. Didn't he promise that I would be his only princess? Now, what is this brother Kai? Could you no longer keep your promise?There should be no other important woman to him, but only me. That’s my position in his life!To be honest, the thing I hate the most is to have a rival for my brother's attention! His attention is only meant for me!Who is that woman to have his attention? Dahlia? What an ugly name. What did my brother find about her to make him interested? She is just a mere girl who makes a cheap drink. The tea happens to be my brother’s satisfied thirst.She is a peculiar maggot. She will taste my whipping ang grudge when I confirm to my brother if he is interested in her. And if he had, I would ne
(Yuki POV)When I got up to my room it was immediately opened by two staff members on guard. They bowed as I approached. Enter my room which is enormous. I want a big one. I should be treated as precious in this household. And it should always only be me, while I am still living.Immediately, the collection of my swords and katana caught my attention. It is inviting me for something bloody reunion for I neglect them these past years. I reached the stand and took one. It is the first gift from my brother. I removed the sheath, and my eyes reflected on the blade. Those eyes are sad because of my brother’s wishes to have a wife and it is too furious because of the woman who suddenly came into his life.Tss. I am hungry to see this blade coated with Dahlia’s blood. This very special katana will cut the head of that damn woman! She causes disturbance in my life and interferes with catching my brother’s attention, which she shouldn’t have done.Tss. She needs to get ready for this.The door
(Secretary Venal POV)Sighed.After having a conversation with Master Dryzen I exit his executive room. I don't understand why he was determined to get a wife for the time is too young. He pressures me within two weeks or else he will act on his own, which is I am a bit concerned for the innocent woman. He is in a haste to get Miss Liara to wed him as soon as possible. Or is he just toying with the Grand Alpha having an interest too, in the same woman?The point here is I don’t have time to waste, and I need to talk this matter seriously to Miss Dahlia, no matter what she needs to accept the special job in a diplomatic way whether she likes it or not. The next morning, I knew that Miss Dahlia has the plan to decline my offer to pick her up at their home. So, before the sun showed up, I was in front of their house. From what I noticed the light at Ofemia's house was lit, and I am sure she is early getting to her bed. However, while waiting for her, I saw the old woman, her grandma, s
(Secretary Venal POV)When the lift reached the executive floor, I exit first and led Miss Dahlia to the executive hallway. She follows me quietly until we are about to meet Lilith in the corridor. There is a distance between us, but she already knows who I am with. Her eyes narrowed when she confirmed that it was the newly hired member of the maintenance group., suddenly her face becomes sour."Sir, this is why it is difficult to handle a newbie, she is irresponsible about the protocol. Stubborn to follow even though she already knows the rules. Didn't I tell you, Dahlia, that the specific elevator for the maintenance group is the only lift you will use to come here? Why are you walking here on the executive floor without validating your presence, first? Do this again and I will dismiss you—.”"Good morning Lilith." I cut her words before her admonishment become worst in my ears. “The morning is beautiful for you to have a raised eyebrow. This early morning I receive an order from th
"What?! I will resign right now and I have the right to do so!” Miss Dahlia complained about those blocking her, and she tried to push them away but they remained blocking.Master Dryzen didn't give me a good look.Ts I did not do this Master Dryzen but you."Venal, I was not wrong, he was very interesting. But this new day, another day Venal to convince that woman. I hope my patience doesn't run out soon. You know it's not good to keep me waiting." His eyes didn't play with the words he said to me. "Get her promoted ASAP to my desire position for her and don't let me do it on my own way.""Yes Sir." In addition, it can only be heard from my lips whenever Master Dryzen gives an order, especially in front of some subordinates.Master Dryzen went straight to walking with his men without even looking back at Miss Dahlia.Lilith and I stared at each other. His eyes could not believe what he witnessed. How Miss Dahlia spoke boldly in front of Master Dryzen. I also can't believe that Master
He did follow us, and Lilith prepared well for what I did to him. I pulled a chair in front of the table and it was for Miss Dahlia."Sit down Miss Dahlia." And I dismissed the staff around the room so that Miss Dahlia and I were the only ones here."This isn't really a joke Sir Venal?""I have to force you Miss Dahlia to accept the special job.""You know Sir Venal, don't waste time trying to convince me. The cleaner is enough for me. My salary is already big plus the extra perks I got. Money is not important to me... I just want to finish my work because this hand of mine Sir Venal is itching...""I don't understand Miss Dahlia the reason why your hand itches."“It's itching to write. Because I know that I can do and finish my work immediately. So I have some time to do my hubby.""Are you writing?"“Yes.” He happily responded to me. “My hobbies, and my dream is to have my own movie. What do you think of that Sir Venal?”"I'm happy to hear that Miss Dahlia. So I think you will have
(Secretary Venal POV)“What are you doing? I am going to resign now, and I have the right to do it. My resignation is effective today.” Miss Dahlia said to those men who blocked her. She tried to push them, but they remained stationary and didn’t want to get embarrassed in front of the CEO.Master Dryzen on other hand stared at her and was impressed with her bravery. However, when he stared at me, he gave me a frustrated grin. It was not good.Tsk. Master Dryzen, what is happening now is not me who triggered it, but it was you who did it. Miss Dahlia is far from the women you played with."Venal, I didn’t get wrong about her. That woman is really very interesting. But for you, it is another day to persuade her to accept the special job. Be hopeful of my patience not to run out so soon before the time I have given to you. You know it's not well to keep me waiting.” His eyes are serious and there is no hint of trivialness in his words. “Get her promoted ASAP to my desired position for
(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
