The road to success isn't an easy one . Especially when you are poor and meet a rich spoiled jerk . The first time we saw each other was when I saved an old lady from being crushed by his car . After saving the old lady his car slashed the rainwater on the hole of the ground was splashed on me , making me a public laughing stock , just his presence gets me to my nerves . I had enough problems , a jerk like him was all I needed to make my life turn upside down . Four years passed . I finished university and graduated with top grades as a lawyer and bodyguard . Just when I thought that I could finally start my plan of becoming successful , our paths crossed again . This time he had become the arrogant devil with a cold face . Fate is being unfair by making me suffer in the hands of this devil once again . The leader of a huge empire died without naming the name of the inheritor to his fortune . In order to protect my family and give them a better future , I had no choice but to comply with his wishes and help him sit on that throne . How could I , a normal girl , help the heir to a multi-billion company sit on the chair of the leader ? Turns out that the devil needs a lawyer to play in his favor . After he had succeeded, after we each got what we were aiming for , we would go our separate ways . I never wanted to be entangled with him . Meeting him was a mistake from the very beginning . When our collaboration came to an end , he was supposed to let me go but instead of gaining my freedom , I got locked up again . Can I ever escape this man ?
View MoreClaire left and closed the door . Erik and Emma looked at Edward with an annoyed expression ." Edward.......is this necessary ? " asked Emma .Edward looked at her and ignored her then started to look at the files on his desk ." Edward , are you serious ? I really hope that you aren't.........Seriously , how can you threaten a good girl like her in such a way ?.......I don't know Claire's family condition but when I heard you say the medical treatment for her brother that confused me . No matter how cold you are , you can't behave like this . You can't threaten her with her brother's medical condition . " said Erik annoyed .Emma was surprised to see Erik so protective of Claire . Erik was never the type to care about girls in general . The only girls he talked to were his relatives , Emma, and a few close friends to him ." Since when have you become so supportive of her ? You have only met her two times . " said Edward staring at him in an inte
" You are the one who came here . I didn't ask you to come nor did I take you forcibly . I told you to not mess with me but you keep coming to me . Since you can't stay away from me you may as well stay within my sight......I hate it when others try to approach me in a shady way . " said Edward with a serious expression ." What ?.....What are you saying ? How can you even think that I am purposely following you ? How could I possibly come after you ? " said Claire looking at him shocked ." .....I have seen a lot of women trying to approach me . They will try every method just to get close to me . You too ! Stop playing the hard catch . " said Edward ." How can you say that ?........I will not waste my breath with you . I have no reason to be near you . The school decided that I would come here to your company . It wasn't my free will . I struggle hard to give my family a good life and to try to become someone for both of them but you.....How dare you th
Claire looked at Edward and noticed that he was very serious about what he was said . She let go of him and stepped back ." Your........special lawyer ? " said Claire confused ." .....I want you to be my special lawyer . You will not only deal with the cases of me being thrown in court but you will also be in charge of my protection . This is all that will be required from you . Since you will be working as my bodyguard you will also be my assistant . " said Edward with a smirk ." ....Instead of two jobs now I have to do three ? " said Claire with a forced smile thinking that he was joking ." I will not ask you to do any other job apart from dealing with documents related to law cases and protecting me ." You must be kidding me.....Seriously ?...... " said Claire touching her forehead in a troubled way ." I am dead serious . I was serious when I said that you are annoying but now I am even more serious . " said Edward .Claire t
" I think I misheard but.......Did you just call me old ? " said Edward with a frozen smirk ." Even your hearing isn't working well . Those are clear signs of old age . How about you go and see a doctor ? " said Claire with an innocent smile ." You have already used half of my patience crazy monkey girl . " said Edward annoyed ." .....Only half more and I will be saved from you , old man . I am doing quite well . He he he ! " said Claire with a happy tone then noticed a strange ominous aura coming from Edward ." I can't believe such a girl actually exists . The more I hear the way she talks with him , the more afraid I become of her . " whispered Erik with a terrified expression ." I totally agree with you . I am feeling my blood pressure low because of them . " whispered Ema .Edward bit his lip as he grinned . He didn't expect that she could escape from his charms but once again he was proven that he could not predict anything when it
Claire to the taxi and soon she found herself at Edward's company . When she got out of the taxi , she stared at the company then a voice from behind called her ." Claire ! " said the voice again .When Claire turned her head , she saw it was Erik ." Good morning ! " said Erik with a smile ." Morning ! " said Claire with a forced smile ." You don't look happy . " said Erik ." I am super pissed Erik . " said Claire annoyed ." Who and why ? " asked Erik ." I don't think the person who annoyed me needs an introduction . He is already very famous . " said Claire with an ironic tone ." I guess I know who this famous person is . " said Erik .Claire and Erik entered the elevator and waited to arrive at the floor where the annoying president was ." If it can make you feel better , I have got an additional coffee latte can with me . Do you want it ? " said Erik handing her the coffee latte can .She
When Claire went to her home at night they all smiled happily ." Overall , we did have a good day . " said Melani as she unbuttoned Rei's jacket ." Yeah , we sure did..... " said Claire with a forced smile .' That jerk totally ruined our day of fun . Why did we have to bump into him ?.......Not only that but we also met another weirdo....... ' thought Claire with an annoyed expression as she remembered the faces of Edward and Alonzo ." Didn't you enjoy today's outing Claire ? " asked Melani when she saw her expression ." I enjoyed it mom . I just was thinking that I could enjoy it better we didn't bump into those two people . " said Claire ." You mean mr Alonzo and Edward ?...Mr Alonzo was annoying at first but he did apologize for his mistake . He clearly didn't know about Rei's condition . " said Melani ." Whatever ! I just don't like that guy . He looks weird . " said Claire ." Weird ?.......In which weird sense ? "
" It seems like it will take some time before they get down . " said Melani looking at the train . " Mom , I would like to take a look at that store over there . It had some interesting stuff . I will be back soon . " said Claire . " .....Alright but don't be late . " said Melani . " No , I won't . " said Claire with a smile . " Okay ! " said Claire and walked ahead . " I am quite thirsty so I will go to buy something to drink . " said Edward with a polite smile then walked ahead too . Melani looked at her daughter and noticed that Edward was walking in the same direction as Claire but he was a bit away from her . ' ......Hmmmm....... ' thought Melani . " Cough.....cough....... " coughed Alonzo when he saw her staring at them but she still continued to stare at them . " Cough.........Cough........ " coughed Alonzo again . " Are you sick ? Why are you coughing so much ? " asked Melani . " I had a
" Train ticket ?......Wiat ! I need that train ticket . " said Edward ." Huh ?........You needed that train ticket ?.........I am very sorry . That girl took the last ticket of this time's ride . I can give you the same ticket for the next ride if you want . " said the worker ." When will the next ride start ? " asked Edward ." It will start after forty minutes . The train ride is the longest ride we have in the amusement park . " said the worker ." .....I got it . " said Edward then looked back at the girl who took the ticket and was going to the worker at the train ride .' I have no intention of waiting for another forty minutes just because of a simple train ride . I will just buy the ticket from her . ' thought Edward and hurried to catch up with her .Edward grabbed her by her shoulder then stopped her ." Miss , you pushed me and I couldn't get the ticket . Give me the ticket now . " said Edward .Claire looked at th
" Daddy................my dress got dirty . " said the little girl on the ground starting to cry ." Hey ! How dare you push my daughter ? " said a man grabbing Rei's little arm annoyed .Rei was scared at his sight and started to push him as he yelled . Claire and Melani rushed to his side immediately . Melani held Rei as Claire grabbed his arm and glared at him ." What do you think you are doing ? You are an adult yet you grab the arm of a child in such a rough way . Is that the way an adult should behave with children ? " said Claire with an angry tone as she glared at him forcibly .' ...…This girl...she is strong . So short yet strong.... ' thought the man with a perplexed expression .He looked behind her and saw Melani trying to ease her son . She raised her head and looked at him annoyed ." Who do you think you are to scare my son like that ? Don't you have any brain ? " said Melani ." Don't I have any brain ?!.....You
The sun started to shine and morning came . Claire was still sleeping comfortably in her bed . She had a lot of trouble waking up early in the morning . Every time, her mother Melani , would go into her room and open the curtains then spray some water on her eyes to help her get up . She did the same thing this morning too . She opened the curtains then looked at Claire who was still sleeping ." Will you wake up or do you want me to wake you up in my way ?! " said Melani with a serious tone when she saw her daughter covering her eyes with her left hand ." Whatever ! It's just water... " said Claire in a lazy way and turned over at the other side of the bed ." Today is a little different . I just bought some juice that seventy percent sale . I bought it just for you , in case you refuse to wake up in a nice way . " said Melani with a threatening smile .' If I don't get up , the queen will get mad ! Haaaa....yesterday's training was bone wrecking ! ' th...
