Aiden fumed in anger, his eyes were on the corpse which laid on the floor, the man had dared to place a tracking chip inside him car. Aiden opened the door of the car, he had easily seen the tracker, pulled it out he dropped in on the floor and crushed it with his shoes.
Running his hand through his thick black hair he cursed silently, he pulled his phone from his pocket and dialed a number. “Hey boss”, The person said from the receiver in a calm voice. “Carlos, send the boys to come clean up this mess. It seems Rodrigo have decided to play dirty. He sent one of his men to place a fucking chip in my car”. Aiden said between his teeth. “That bloody idiot, we will look into the it. And I’m sending the boys now”. Carlos said, as sounds of keyboard was heard from his background “Good”. Aiden pulled the phone away from his ear and ended the call. With a sigh, he pulled the door open to enter his car. He started the engine and zoomed off. It was 1:45pm, and Alexander had a meeting which had started fifteen minutes ago but he decided to make his fellow business partners wait for him, not because he had important anything to do but because he wanted to get on their nerves. He pulled up his hand to check his watch. Wonderful it was time to go, he said to himself as he headed to where the meeting was held. It was one of his expensive clubs in the city. Wearing his designer Armani suit, and Louis Vuitton shoes he strode into the club heading to the secret room where the meeting was going to be held. Because it was afternoon the club wasn’t filled up. The door opened and he entered the room. Two other men were in the room with angry expressions on their faces. “Tiger, it’s so nice to finally see you”. One of the men said, flashing a fake smile. “I wouldn’t say the same Pablo, let’s make this fast. I have no time to waste”. Alexander said with a bored expression. The smile on the man’s face fell slowly as he clutched his jaws tightly. “Very well then, Where is the drive tiger?”. The man said now with a serious voice. “What drive?” Alexander asked but got a death glare from the other man, “oh that’s drive...I have no idea, you should be the one to tell me. Besides it was one of your boys who misplaced it, so tell me Pablo where is the drive?” Alexander said resting his back on the chair. “It hasn’t been found and you know that no one would dare steal from me except you,So cut the bullshit and tell me where is it?” His voice thickened, his eyes daring Aiden not to play games with him “My my.. so impatient, no one is playing games here, and I don’t have the drive. I don’t even have an idea where it is”. Alexander smiled at the man, “For fuck sakes tiger, I’m sure I don’t need to remind you of what will happen if that drive gets to the wrong hands, we will be doomed for sure, all our workings are in that drive., we...” Pablo said in utter frustration “..You not we”. Alexander corrected, “I have ways of clearing myself from the mess Pablo but you are already socked in the mess so deeply. So don’t you dare threaten me with that.” He added, his smile still on his face. Pablo just stared at the man in front of him, he knew it was almost impossible to threaten this man or even make him move a muscle, but he had to find away because the clock was ticking and the longer the drive stayed outside the quicker it was for him to get caught, and that was the last time he wanted right now, not after his cartel was just recovering from her lost. “Very well Tiger, for the sake of old times help me. I will repay your kindness double”. “Hmmmm” Alexander breathed, his fingers tapping on his wine glass, “What sort of kindness are we talking about here?” “I’m willing to give up 20% share of my properties to you if you would help me retrieve the drive, in the next seven days”. The man said as he rubbed his palms together. “20? That’s so cheap, you know I am a wealthy man , so give me a better offer man?” Alexander said Pablo swallowed the lump in his throat, what the hell was this man aiming at, hopefully he won’t ask for something ridiculous. “What do you want tiger?” “50 percent and your full loyalty and submission to me and my cartel”. Alexander smiled as he watched the man’s eyes widened in shock. “What....?? That is absurd, how can you ask for that much?...” Pablo said as he struggled to find words to speak. “Do you have a problem speaking now Pablo?, and I think it’s fair enough. That is if you are still interested in my services”. Alexander smile widened watching the man in dismay, how he enjoyed playing with people. “I..”, “Then I shall take my leave”. Alexander pulled his jacket to sit properly as he prepared to stand up from where he was sitting. “Wait...sit down tiger, let’s make a deal”. Alexander smiled inwardly hearing the man words. “Okay Pablo”. He rested his back on the chair. “I will do as you say tiger but you will have to bring me the drive within the next seven days. Unless, I will find Martha.” Pablo said proudly. Alexander’s jaw tightened for a split second at the mention of her name before he replaced it with a warm smile. “For a man in need, you really have some guts threatening me. Anyways, you will get the drive within the next seven days”. Alexander said as he stood up to leave, placing the glass cup on the table he moved to the door, “Don’t betray me tiger”. He heard Pablo said but he could care less about him, “I have important things to do, Marco. See Mr Pablo and his friend out of here”. Alexander said to his bouncer as he walked out of the room.She was done from work, after an exhausted day all she wanted to do is to soak herself in a hot tub. She had just gotten into a hotel in the city, she had chosen a random hotel because she didn’t want to handle any formalities for now. All she need was space and fresh air to breath. Opening the door with her key card, she steeped into the room closing the door behind her, the room was painted all white. It wasn’t her usual expensive looking room but it was moderate enough for her, she began to pull off her clothes one by one, she walked into the bathroom and filled the tub with warm water, pouring the vanilla soap into the water. She watched it as it filled to the top, turning it off she stepped into the tub fully naked dipping herself in the water, a sigh of relaxation escaped her lips as the body touched the warm water. She rested her head as she enjoyed the feel of the water on her skin. The soap also smelt so good. Closing her eyes, she gently tapped her feet in the tub
Ariana stilled looking at the man in front of her, he was so close to her, his hands placed on the table locking her between in arms. Even with the dark glasses, Ariana could still feel his strong gaze on her, his face not holding any emotions. It was difficult to know what he was thinking or even feeling at this moment. There was something about the way this man smelt and looked that got her mesmerized, as much as she wanted to look away and yell at this man for getting in her personal space her brain didn’t just cooperate with her. Aiden just stared at her, not making any movement. Dingg!!! Ariana’s phone rang breaking the trance between them, Ariana cleared her throat as she looked away to where her phone was lying. Aiden too looked away taking steps backwards to let her move to her phone. She walked to the table and grabbed her phone placing it in her ears. “Oh, Alright. Thank you Lora have a wonderful night”. Ariana said calm even though her heart was still racing. Placi
“Hmm, I can only guess he must be filthy rich,”. April said “And what makes you think the buyer is a he? I thought you knew nothing about it”. Ariana asked. “Of course it would be a he, which normal woman buys a freaking casino. Only men make such stupid and risky decision”. April explained,” Anyways Ari, I had to go make coffee before my husband wakes up”. April added. “Look who’s doing wifey duties, oh my gosh I am so jealous”. Ariana said teasing her friend. “Whatever weirdo, have a nice day. Bye.”, “Bye”. Ariana answered before hanging up the call. Looking at the clock it was now thirty minutes past six. She heard to prepare for her visit, picking her cup and empty pack of cookies she walked to the kitchen, throwing the empty pack into the trash can, she gave her cup a little rinse and placed it back on the table. She headed to her restroom for a bath after taking all her clothes off and changing into her robe. Turning on the shower, she placed the robe on the
Ariana couldn’t believe what she had just heard ears, could it be that she had heard wrongly. Never in her life have she heard her parents say anything about marriage to her and definitely have not suggested someone for her to marry. She would have said they were trying to prank her but by the look on their faces she highly doubted that and it wasn’t even April first. She opened her mouth to speak but she couldn’t form any words, her lips just shut close as they opened. She saw the worry and sadness in her parents eyes, swallowing the big lump in her throat she decided to say something. “You are joking right? Aren’t you? Mum? Dad?”. Ariana said as she looked between her mother and father, but her father gave her little nod telling her he was serious. “We are sorry sweetheart, this is very serious. And the decision had been made already”. Martha said lowly, her voice filled sadness. The pain in Ariana’s eyes turned to anger, she felt her fists clutched tightly as she raised
A staring competition had started between Ariana and her parents. She desperately needed answers because she couldn’t understand why this strange man had decided to ask to marry her out of all things he could possibly ask for. Her mother sighed. “Alexander savage is a multi billionaire”. Martha said. “So?” Ariana raised her brow at her mother, her mother had mentioned him being a multi billionaire as if it was supposed to explain why he was suddenly interested in marrying her. “Mum what if he is a billionaire, why does he want to get married to me?” She asked. “Ariana we don’t know why, he just gave us an opinion. All we know is he is a powerful man”. Her father explained. “So tell me dad, have you met this man? What does he look like?” Ariana asked, her eyes widened as she saw her father look away. It didn’t take long for Ariana to understand why his sudden change of position. “For Christ sake dad!!!” Ariana said and then tucked in her hair hardly as she paced in the di
“I am a generous man so I will give you 24 hours to convince your daughter to marry me. Or else...I will take her by force, Goodbye in laws and have a wonderful day”. With that Alexander hung up the call pushing the phone into the back pocket of his trousers. “Tiger, What do you think you’re doing? Threatening a family for a girl, come on. This isn’t even worth your time.” Carlos said, as he walked towards the chair and sat down. “I know but I want her, she has been in my mind since I saw her, so I want her and what other way to do that than have her marry me”. Alexander said, picking up a glass of wine and taking a sip. “But man, why her? You can have any woman you want here so why all the stress, and beside we can just bring her here to you”. Carlos suggested. “I can do that but I won’t, I want her to willingly agree to me. And no I don’t want those ugly strippers. I need something new, she’s beautiful and has a nice ass. She’s a feisty and interesting woman who won’t
Again, Alexander had left them speechless. And just like Carlos, he enjoyed seeing the expression on their faces. How dare this man offer him his bitch of a daughter for marriage? Even though Alexander hadn’t seen her in a long while since she left to study abroad, he knew what she was doing. He heard news from his men over there of how she gave herself to different men of different ages and sizes just for fun, because he was a hundred percent sure she didn’t do it for money because she had loads of it to last her a lifetime. “If there’s nothing more to discuss, you can take your leave now”. He added. “You have to re consider Alex, you yourself is no different from her. You have also had a lot of women in your bed so who are you to judge her?” Lopez said as his anger was beginning to peep through. “Don’t put words in my mouth Lopez, I never judged her. I was just simply telling you my qualities in a wife. So please leave, I’m beginning to have an upset stomach just seeing
Ariana walked into the small cafe, as her eyes scanned through the place and then she finally found him. The man she was looking for,Jake. "Hey Jake". She grabbed a chair and sat down, Jake had a big coat, brown messy hair and big glasses on although Ariana guessed it was for medical purposes. "Hey Ariana, this is what you asked for". Jake pulled a large envelope from his bag and handed it over to her, Ariana collected it with shaky hands, she just hoped she won't be disappointed, she desperately prayed that her parent were mistaken about the whole situation. Taking a deep breath, she opened the envelope and pulled a white file out, her eyes scanned through the content of the file and she felt her heart shatter into a million pieces, what had gone wrong? And how did her parents get into such a huge debt? She asked herself. The total amount they were supposed to pay back were billions of dollars, and they were supposed to pay back in the next fourteen days. Who made sure a heartl
