Brianna has never been won in an argument before but right now she couldn't do anything else but nod. As much as she can say that her family is not much cultured she knows her dad is strict and won't waste a second disowning her if he ever gets to find out about her sexual escapades. And in such a case if he speaks not even her mum will be able to stop him. Dead end for her. She has managed to keep her acts a secret from both the news and her family for a while now and intends to keep it that way. She has known Lucien for a while now and one thing she is sure of is that he never backbites so she didn't feel scared that he knows about it because she knows as long as she doesn't expose him he won't too. And as much as she hates the fact that she has a deal with him she knows it's a fair deal and one she will guide with her life. Noticing the expression on her face and reading meaning into it Lucien exhales and smiles. "You already know that I don't speak much and never backbites Br
Lucien sizes up the big-bodied men before him and shakes his head. "I give you both a second to get out of my way or one of you will be injured by the time I'm done." He meant every word he just said. Perhaps everyone has a patience level and right now Lucien has lost his. His eyes are deep red and he keeps stamping his right foot repeatedly on the floor while stroking his knuckles. After all, it's been a long time since he punched anyone. He wouldn't mind disfiguring the face of one of them and will be a fool if he ends up not doing that after the insults. He can take insults from the Pearsons and ladies because he doesn't hit ladies but any guy that dares him he gives a dosage of his own medicine. Within him he somehow doesn't want them to move, he wants them to prove stubborn so he can show one of them or perhaps the two of them what he is made of. Just as Lucien wants them to prove stubborn the guards laugh at him. "I give you both a second to get out of my way or one of you
Before the blink of an eye, Lucien and Mr. Corbin reach the supposed office of the CEO at the topmost part of the building and Mr. Corbin quickly wipes off the already clean chair for Lucien to sit down. Once Lucien has settled down he rushes to the coffee machine and makes a cup of coffee and hands it to him but Lucien softly declines. "I'm not here for coffee Connor neither am I interested in the meeting anymore. I'm here now for an entirely different thing." Mr. Corbin gulps and in the so cold atmosphere beads of sweat appear all over his face and keeps dropping droplet by droplet. If he is not here for the meeting then why is he here? He wonders but quickly shuts his mind as he recalls the CEO of a company can not be questioned for the reason he is in his company. He smiles a bit and tries to calm himself but Lucien's icy gaze on him isn't helping. Instead of helping him relax it makes him so uneasy that he just doesn't know if to stand and run or if to continue sitting. H
Although filthy rich Mr. Santiago is a man who loves making more progress and has this dream of being not just the wealthiest man in Virginia but the country. It shouldn't be surprising that the man chooses to run his own company which is the main family company while his daughter Juliet runs hers. Juliet has always wanted to be an independent lady and when the chance struck for her to be a CEO she didn't waste a second grabbing it. Her father although angry at first that her daughter could leave his company to open hers later relaxed and took it as nothing serious. Since then both have been running their companies smoothly and peacefully. Mr. Santiago due to his dream of being the wealthiest man in the country labors day and night to make it happen while Juliet runs hers not as if she competes with anybody. She just runs hers because it makes her happy and also makes her fill fulfilled. Mr. Santiago has always been wanting to be a business partner of the Millers and just now as h
Maya glances at Mr. Santiago at the last statement and drops the note. "That is all sir." She says as her just relaxed face suddenly turns into one with a wide smile. "I'm so happy for you– for us sir! Congrats to you and us. This is very great news. Woohoo!" She makes a quick body dance and giggles. Mr. Santiago laughs at her poor dancing skills and pats her on the shoulder. "I'm as much as happy as you are Maya but I'm just wondering why the Scion of the Millers will come himself to deliver a contract to us and why he will do it a day after we quarreled." He sighs and rubs his hair. "It just doesn't sit well with me." Maya places a finger into her mouth and tilts her head as her mind roams about what Mr. Santiago just said. Although just boss and worker both share a greater bond between them and tend to discuss things way past business with each other. After several minutes of thinking, she shakes her head as she couldn't place her hand on anything and sighs. "I'm sorry sir. Noth
…BREAKING NEWS… "Just this morning, this extremely frigid morning, an amazing occurrence has just happened in our dear great country." "The unique highest office tower in the country which is but a bottom pot company that is situated in Virginia by the name of Shadow Worldwide Company has just topped the business charts to become the No.1 Company in the whole of the country." "Now this has come as a great surprise because as far as we know, the Shadow Worldwide Company was just listed among the bottom ranking companies recently because of their falling stocks due to how they squander and lavish their profits."

A female reporter goes on and on with her report which is being broadcasted on several billboards
"I did it, baby girl. I caused it all. I made him sign the contract without reading it. How would I have known that Brooks will come up with such an evil thing? How would I? I trusted him. I fucking trusted him!" The corners of her lips quiver at each word she says and at the end, her body droops as she lowers her head not still being able to look at any of them.Juliet could tell that her mum is deeply saddened and for the first time is regretting her action. She wants to pull her sweet mum in for an embrace and tell her that it will be alright and that she will do it as long as it makes them happy and keeps them safe but instead she shakes her head and turns her back on them. "I've always warned you both about Brooks but you guys wouldn't listen. Now you expect me to merge my company with that thief! You guys just want to wreck my life because of your greediness!" She picks up the vase before her and slams it on the floor. "It's not like we ain't wealthy, for fucks sake we are the
If he heard her last statement he doesn't show it. His expression doesn't the least change.He just keeps walking till he gets to the door and discerning that his hands are pretty occupied kicks it open and walks in. He walks straight to her bed and drops her then turns to leave but she holds him halting his movement. "Are you going to pretend that you didn't hear me, pauper?" She whispers seductively and passes her tongue over her lips wearing a smirk.He doesn't still say anything, he softly removes her hand from his and breaths out before continuing walking."Lucien?" She calls just as he is about to walk out of the door and even though a part of him doesn't want to answer that call he halts without turning. "Hmm?""Can you at least turn around? You don't even know why I'm calling you and you are having your back to me. Not fair pauper."He is reluctant to do her request. He knows her so well to know that when she wants something she can go to any extent to have it. Her earlier s
