'Hey, Victor, how are you?''Doing well... How was it? Did you get anything?'[No... I don't have anything yet. My dad will be leaving next week, so I guess that's when I will have a chance to check those files][Loreen , What if it turns out that-]'Then sh*it will get real.' Loreen 's eyes narrowed dangerously as she answered sharply, and her brow creased.[Damn, you sound really scary. Anyway, I will give you a call once I do]'Thank you,' Loreen said, pressing the red button to end the call. She looked up at the sky, and a deep sigh escaped her lips. She stuffed her phone into her pocket and leaned back on the swing-like chair to relax. Placing the neatly arranged papers into the drawer, Adepe stood up from his chair and adjusted his suit. He shoved his hands into his pocket and shot a glance at Alex, who sat on his desk near the wall. He waved at him and motioned for him to follow. "Let's go." They walked to the car, and Adepe took his seat at the back.Alex started the car's en
He raised the towel and began to dry his wet hair. He grabbed the hairdryer on the table and switched it on. The hot hair blew on his hair and it furiously fluttered. After a minute of enactment, he switched it off and dropped it when his hair was completely dried. Adepe proceeded to pick up a comb to comb his messy hair. His brow creased deeply as his finger moved from one comb to another, contemplating which to pick. He had never done his hair by himself before, so he had no idea how it was done. His maids were the ones who always cared for his hair, and he never paid attention. Was he even supposed to? He doesn't even know what to do first: to comb and brush after, or to brush and comb after. His face puckered and a low groan escaped his lips. Was he going to call for his maid at this time? Loreen , who had been staring at him the entire time, grimaced in annoyance. Who doesn't know how to comb their hair?! She pinched her brow and raised her eyes to gaze at him once again.Adep
Adepe woke up early the next morning and swathed himself in a black suit and shoes. His maids neatly combed his hair, letting it fall over his shoulders to his waist. He stood up from the chair when they were done and waved at them to leave.He walked over to the bed and tightly hugged Loreen , who was lying on the bed in a weird position. "Wake up, little wife." He nuzzled her neck and kissed her on the forehead. Loreen 's nose twitched as his scent filled her nostrils and she wriggled in his arms. 'He smells good,' She thought and slowly opened her eyes. She gazed at his face, and her brow creased in displeasure. "Can you let go of me? You're squeezing the life out of me!" Her leisurely eyes slightly glared at him.Adepe loosened his hold on her and drew back to stare at her face. "You're going to the company with me today, so go and shower." "Why?" Loreen folded her arms and gazed at him with a questioning expression on her face. Adepe chuckled softly and tucked a strand of her h
The car arrived in front of the facility, which is Adrik's huge company, and Alex drove it inside. He parked the car in the parking lot inside the building compound and choked the engine.Adepe glanced at Loreen , whose gaze was outside, and a smile formed on his lips. He pushed the door open and stepped down from the car. He gazed at the building standing in front of him and turned his head to look at Loreen , who was already standing on the other side of the car. He walked forward and halted to allow her to join him by his side.He glanced at Alex and motioned for him to bring the suitcase along with him. Alex nodded and pulled the suitcase out of the car. He stuffed the car key into his pocket and followed behind them. The door to the building automatically opened itself, and Adepe abruptly wrapped his arm around Loreen 's waist. He looked down at her and a grin made its way to his lips. Loreen blinked her eyes in confusion and raised her head to glare at him. However, he simply sm
"Don't call me that." Loreen 's face puckered, and she viciously glanced at him. She adjusted herself on the couch and leaned back comfortably."I am sorry. What should I dress you as then?" Alex closed the laptop on his desk and fixed his gaze on her. "Loreen ." Loreen opened one of her eyes and peeked at him. Her face grimaced in irritation and she leaned her head back on the couch."Okay, Miss Loreen ." Alex smiled at her and darted his eyes around. 'Gosh, this is so awkward. Babysitting a nineteen-year-old,he shook his head and raised his eyes to glance at her, only to see her staring at him with a menacing grin on her lips "Anything," Alex asked as his eyes blinked in confusion. This girl was creepy. Why was she staring at him like that?"Nothing." Loreen shrugged, and a half-smile formed on her lips. "Are you married?" She crossed her arms and asked with an arched brow.Alex's eyes fluttered in bewilderment, and he slightly shook his head. "Um... No, I am not." "I see..." Lore
Adrik's face puckered, and he made a call to the attendant on the last floor. "Where is Alex?" His husky, cold voice resounded through the phone, startling the attendant.The attendant's eyes fluttered, and she brought the telephone away from her ear. She stared at it for a moment and placed it back on her ear. "I am sorry, boss, but Mr. Alex left the building a few minutes ago." She flickered her lashes and replied with a slightly shaky voice."I see..." Adepe took a deep breath and proceeded to speak once again. "Make a call to him and tell him I request his presence here in ten minutes." He dropped the telephone and let out a low breath once again. He slightly lowered his head and pinched between his brows. He's been having this feeling of unrest within him since early this morning. It was as if something huge would happen sooner or later. His feelings always told him when shit was about to happen."Is... everything okay?" Loreen abruptly asked, causing him to look over and see her
A wide living room with a long diamond chandelier hanging on the ceiling that emitted a luminous light came into view the moment they stepped into the house. In the middle were two long sofas facing each other with a glass table in-between. In the end, there stood long, wide stairs that led upstairs.Adrik's eyes glanced around, and with his hands shoved into his pocket, he walked towards the stairs. He had just gotten close and was about to place his right foot on the first step when a butler scurried towards him and stood in front of him, preventing him from moving forward."I am sorry, sir, but you cannot move any further." The butler said and lowered his back. "Please allow me to make your presence known to my master first."Adepe lazily decreased his eyes and glanced at the butler. His face darkened, and he said with displeasure in his tone. "Get out of my way!" His voice startled the butler, but the butler adamantly stood on his spot, not showing any sign of moving.Adrik's frow
"I don't know what you are talking about." Vlad leaned back in his seat and his brow creased in displeasure."I see..." Depressed his two hands together at his lips and narrowed his eyes at Vlad. "If this is about the crystal eyes, your descendants will go extinct, and trust me, they will. This is a warning." He grinned and stared at him with threatening eyes.Vlad's face darkened, and his pitch-black eyes turned a shade of red. He shut his eyes and took a long, deep breath, then opened them, and a smile that didn't reach his eyes emerged on his lips. "I do want my heritage back, but burning down your company is quite an act of childishness for the kind of person I am, and I believe you should know that, considering how you have known me for hundreds of years." He smiled at Adrik, and his eyes narrowed viciously. "I will get my heritage back, but in a different way." A low breath escaped his nose and he sipped from his glass of red wine.Adrik's eyes decreased into a thin line and hi
