“I’m in love with someone and my family won’t approve of it so it’s a secret. Now it’s your turn,” Cassandra forced a smile and said. Ariana instantly guessed it was the man she was talking about with her brother. Instantly, so many questions flooded her mind. “Does the person know that you are in love with him?” She asked, both happy and worried for Cassandra. From how serious Caddaric was right now, it was very scary.“I will tell you but that is another secret and you have to tell me yours first,” Cassandra demanded. Knowing that she was serious, Ariana didn’t know how to handle this. Whereas, she was quick to imagine something.“Okay, I lied when I said I was your brother’s secretary.”“You aren’t? Then what is your relationship?” Cassandra asked eagerly. Ariana smiled and arranged the plates on the cabinet.“You made the rule.”Cassandra discerned that she had to answer Ariana’s question first to get the answer to hers. ’“Okay. The guy is in love with me too. I saw it in his eyes
Caddaric understood what was going on. She felt the same things he felt and was expecting him to make a move which he didn’t because he was controlling it. It was for her safety. The casual relationship they had was amazing and if complicated, they would both get hurt but he was more worried about her. “You will get hurt,” he said softly. Her resolve broke but she didn’t want to give up.Ariana didn’t realize when a tear fell from her eyes to her cheeks. Caddaric’s heart ached and he wiped it with the thumb of his hand. He wanted to kiss those tears and do so many things unimaginable to that sexy body.His eyes were on fire and Ariana wondered how he could pretend like he didn’t feel what she was feeling. She was desperate and it wasn’t hidden in her voice. “I don’t care. Nothing hurts more than seeing me as if I’m not here,” she said in a teary voice. Her eyes were red under the dim lights since it was night.So many things were running through Caddaric’s mind. His ambitions were fig
Ariana was afraid that he was going to leave her halfway. She embraced him tightly and said in deep heavy breaths, “I don't care about the consequence, I want this.”Caddaric didn’t hold back anymore, breaking from her tight grip and lifting himself a little. Slowly, he began to thrust into her wet tight wall, stretching it in the process.Ariana’s pleasure was quickly overridden with pain that sipped through her like a dagger, her fingers dug into his back as she endured it, refusing to scream. What if he stopped upon realizing that she was in so much pain?However, Caddaric had noticed how beads of sweat formed on her face and how she kept squirming under him and stopped but didn’t pull out of her. “Sorry, I know it hurts for the first time.”Ariana forced a smile. “It’s fine, please do it.” It felt as if it was the first and last she was going to have of him and didn’t want to lose the opportunity. No one ever made her feel so wanted and yet, not wanted. That was how he made her fe
There was a storm brewing in the Wreath household. Miranda Wreath has expressed her disapproval concerning her marriage with the Blades but her mother would not allow it.“If you call off this impending marriage, the Blades would come after you. They take care of us. From the time you were born and everything you have is from them,” Donna, Miranda’s mother explained. Her husband died after she birthed Miranda and she suspected it to be the Blade’s doing but lacked proof. Miranda raged. “And thanks for reminding me fifty times in a day. I already know that.”“Then stay in your corner and wait!” Donna yelled. During her time, Casper was the one who didn’t want her. Caddaric had already accepted Miranda so things would go by tradition. Caddaric would restore the old times. “I can’t. He said he can never love me so what would I be? A baby-making machine,” she said in self-mockery. Donna saw her to be lucky.“Your time is better, my child. During our time, we were killed after. It was th
“I had these documents sent through email. I have signed and also, this is another document giving you the power to sign everything on my behalf.” Caddaric was dumping one document to the other on her while he continued to speak. He was in a hurry and racing against time.“Never visit any of these businesses alone. Anna will go with you and the new security has arrived so the club is safe,” he assured her. He had already spoken to Anna to ensure that what happened with Prado doesn’t happen again. These men had worked with Anna when she was with the secret agency so they were excellent.“You can rest in my exclusive hotel room or you can have the penthouse. Rest when you are tired and give me an update on everything. For now, your supervisor's job must be on hold until I return but you will still be paid,” Caddaric explained hastily, not giving her the chance to refuse. Ariana already had everything planned out. Without him, she wasn’t going to use his penthouse or hotel. They were
“You also have to be careful. The Blades will be on your tail.”Ariana froze instantly, as silence reigned for the rest of the journey. She made Juliet sleepover because she was afraid of what she said about the Blades, though she didn’t show any reaction at that moment.The next morning, she went to meet Anna and began her visit to the companies - the bank first. Because Ariana was a beautiful woman, the bank manager was drooling over her.“What do you call that beautiful name of yours?” He began to patronize her. Ariana and Anna were formally dressed in contrast to their usual casual wear. Ariana wore a dress suit with a double-breasted blazer while Anna wore a trouser suit. They both had their hair coincidentally held in a ponytail with straight makeup to blend. In all, they looked very attractive.“Ariana Mends, I’m representing Mr. Caddaric Blade,” Ariana said politely with her hand extended for a shake. She didn’t expect the manager, who looked like a man in his late thirties, t
Before Caddaric arrived in Italy, Marshall was already there and gave him a heads-up on everything happening. The Dons were planning to overthrow the masked man because he was terrifying and there was an Invisible criminal on the loose who no man including the masked man had been able to find.Caddaric was willing to see the nominated candidate to replace the masked man, which was why he rushed to Italy. Marshall had also confirmed to him that the final decision would be made during the annual Bonfire meeting of the Dons. Caddaric thought that since his identity was hidden, he could avoid it but after knowing that the meeting was because of the mask, the masked man had to be there. That was what Santiago was telling him about the day he called to talk about Invisible.The secretary of the committee had called his emergency line several times but he didn’t answer it then. Since it was an emergency meeting, they were only given a day's notice. Caddaric’s only problem was the rule of c
The hall was dead silent with fear registered on the faces of all present. Sin Jon seemed abashed by the unexpected entry, exercising his authority. “It is a crime to attack or kill in this meeting,” the godfather said sternly over the microphone, his voice filling the auditorium. No ordinary person had the paunch to pull such a stunt. It only meant that this assassin, sniper, or whoever he was, had something up his sleeves. The hotel security had already been taken care of so the man at the entrance was confident.“Shut up old man,” the snipper responded and was about to pull the trigger when he fell on the floor, face down. Even without a microphone, his voice was well heard because of how quiet the auditorium was. Anxiety flooded the hall, as some of the dons went to check on the man on the floor.At the back of his head was a bullet hole but no one heard the sound of it. When the finding was announced, the hall was trembling and no one knew who had killed the sniper. Bodyguards
