Chapter 12. Objective
Last Updated:
2022-03-30 04:13:56In the morning, Ava had her gaze lost in some fixed point of the cappuccino machine that had been installed weeks ago in the employee cafeteria of the hotel, the beep of the same device made her come out of her thoughts for a moment, she removed the glass and turned to look for a free table where to drink it before going up to the main office and start the workday. That morning she tried to apply a little make-up under her eyes to avoid showing the lines that were easily formed by not having a good rest.
"Where could she have gone at that hour?" she mentally asked herself. The image of Christine made her lips press together, "That woman..." she denied as she closed her eyes. When she opened them, Thomas, Björn's head of security, was entering the cafeteria -it was her, and two tables at the back of the place were occupied with waitresses- their gazes met, Thomas walked up to her.
-Good morning, Miss Gray. Ava smiled half-heartedly.
-You know you can tell me

"-And the party's just getting started, brother."Björn's words towards Bruno had ignited anger, one was determined to put on a mask before them so he could continue with his plans for revenge, and the other, felt offended why he was being taken away from what he had worked so hard for these years, pretending to be his own father's favorite son and giving in to everything he asked of him so it would be easier to cede power to him, but, "At what point has everything changed?" Bruno asked himself that question repeatedly as he looked into his brother's eyes.-If that's all, I'm retiring. -Bruno announced at the same time that he turned his gaze to his father, who was still in bed observing every movement of each of his children. -As far as I can see, it won't be necessary for Christine to come in, will it? -Bruno grunted, and Anton denied.-Let her in. -Bruno approached the door, opened it, and called Christine, who appeared seconds later. Bruno closed the do

Currently- And how was your day? -he asked to break the silence between the two of them. She just withdrew her gaze to another place and stepped back. Björn noticed her red cheeks, a gesture that, for him, was sexy. What did she think seeing him like that? Did she feel something? Did she care? All questions ran through his head as he looked at Ava, trying to describe the day to her.-I think you'll have a complaint from me to Mrs. Laurent. -Björn raised his eyebrows but then withdrew them when he felt the pinch of pain.- What? Why? -He asked quickly, motioned for her to take a seat in the single chair. She sat down and watched as he stood and started to walk around the room until he stopped to listen to Ava. -Tell me...-Susan tried to provoke me. -Ava didn't want to remember the lousy comment about her body. -I answered him, and I don't doubt he complained from his reaction. -Björn frowned in a fleeting frown. His face sti

The following day, Björn woke up with the decision. He just had to earn it. But where to start? He adjusted his tie as he took one last look at himself in the mirror that adorned one corner of the room.Björn's lawyers would get together today to draw up the power of attorney contract, it was just a matter of signing, and in five months, he would have control of the Hoffmann business.-Mr. Hoffmann, the car is waiting at the entrance. -He heard Thomas's voice behind him. Björn nodded and then walked over to him.-I need more protection for Ava. -Thomas wrinkled his brow somewhat quizzically.- More? She's got three men from my team. -Björn pressed his lips together. -Yes, sir. Then I'll put an entire team in your care.-Thank you, Thomas. -And before dodging him, she looked at him. -Now the way my plans are flowing, she's the one who should be more protected than I am.-But sir..." Björn denied.-I want her pr

After saying goodbye to her father, she got in the van, and they drove to one of the most famous and expensive jewelry stores in New York City. She chose Melissa Joy Manning, the place that created unique designs and the owner's daughter...she's a friend of Christine's.-What took you so long. -Carter complained as he saw Björn get out of the armored car.-I'm sorry, breakfast was fun..." Björn grimaced as much as he could smile without showing his teeth, which Carter found chilling.-My God, what have you gotten yourself into now? -Björn shook his head and patted his friend on the shoulder.-Let's go inside.They entered the place, and it was minimalist and with crystal designs on the walls, something that attracted Björn's attention.-Before I go back to Germany, can you tell me what will happen in my absence? -Björn looked at a glass cabinet with engagement ring designs.-Just let me get out of your way and

Christine paced sideways a sideways, waiting for Isabella's call from half an hour ago, bit her thumbnail, jumped when the cell phone on her desk rang. The screen announced the name "Isa Manning."-It's about time you called, Isabella. Do you know how you've had me with this ring of uncertainty? A smile appeared on her carmine-red lips.-Oh, sorry, I was busy," the tone of her voice caused Christine to tense up.- What's wrong? -she heard as she cleared her throat.-He bought a ring, with a velvety black box.- Was it the most expensive? Speak up, quick, and you're making me anxious! -On the other end of the line, the woman at the jewelry store twisted her lip.-It was a square diamond... fourteen carats. -Christine raised her eyebrows.- Only fourteen carats? That's nothing! -she shouted angrily and started pacing around her office.-But it has a unique design, I designed it..." Christine rolled her eyes when Isabella remarked

Björn waited impatiently during the elevator ride, and he wanted to see Ava, even if it was just sitting there at her desk immersed in her work. The elevator doors opened, and he walked briskly towards the primary office. Sussan hurriedly got up and flashed him one of the smiles he had for him.-Good afternoon, sir..." Björn stopped in front of the desk and raised a hand for him to stop.-You're fired. -Sussan opened his eyes wide in shock.-But sir..." He nodded slowly.-You're fired. -He remarked in a tone laden with coldness. He placed both hands with open palms and rested them on the surface of the desk. Sussan was frozen in place with his heart pounding. -I don't allow harassment between employees in my hotel. Does it amuse you to shit on others for their appearance?-N-No s-sir..." He gave her a look of restrained anger. She understood that she could not speak.-Go to Laurent and finish your contract. -Björn ordered.

Ava closed her eyes and breathed in his scent. When she opened them, she pulled back a little so she could look into his face. She reached for his arms and slowly removed them from her shoulders, and he didn't refuse.-I'm not going to say no to anything. -Ava began to say. -I don't know at what point I started to have feelings for you," Björn realized how tingly it was under his skin to hear her say that confession. -I even thought that maybe..." Ava closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them, they sparkled. -I'm a fool, aren't I? I'll never understand why in such a short time, he could have made me feel that way. -Björn took her elbow and pulled her close to him.-You are not... -Björn whispered close to her, watching every detail of her face.-I am. -He stepped back and put space between the two of them.-Then... we both are. -He stepped forward, closing the distance she had put. He took her face in both hands and lifted it t

Ava looked at the clock again, nervous and impatient about her meeting with Björn. She put both hands to her cheeks when she felt them blush as she remembered that she had confessed to him to have feelings for him. But at the same time, she kept thinking about Christine's words in the office two hours ago.-Miss Gray," Ava jumped in her seat and realized that Thomas was standing next to her. -I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. -Ava quickly denied.-No, no, I'm fine. -Thomas smiled.-I'll take you straight to Mr. Hoffmann. Please follow me. -She nodded and followed him to the armored car. Thomas opened the door and waited for her to get in. Ava frowned as she saw that they had left the hotel grounds..- Where are we going? -Ava sounded anxious.-Mr. Hoffmann asked me to take you somewhere. I can't give you any more information than that, Miss Gray.-Mr.Ava leaned against the back of the couch, her heart pounding, looked at her cell

Ava typed a goodnight message to her family, and reported that she didn't yet know if she would be able to go into town for the holidays, but she would do her best.Then she lay down after a long warm bath, put on her pajamas, and just as she was about to fall asleep, there was a knock at her door. She opened her eyes and lay still, perhaps imagining she had heard a noise. But no.- Ava, are you asleep? -she heard one of her housemates, got up and went straight to open the door. When she opened it, she looked a little... alert.- What's wrong? -Ava asked.-Your former housemate, Yany, is looking for you. -Ava went to look for her, Yany was in the living room and looked very worried.- What's wrong? -Ava was already getting worried, Yany stood up and looked pale.-It's Alice, I can't find her anywhere. -Ava was surprised.- Have you already called her cell phone? -Yany nodded.-She has never missed her shift, and I think that if
The Billionaire's Club Chapter 32. The auction
Björn adjusted one of the dumbbells on his wrist, with his thumb he caressed the letter "B", they were the first ones his mother had given him before she disappeared years ago. He thought he had lost them in one of his trips, which had even infuriated and destroyed almost the entire room of that hotel room. He shook his head slowly at the memory of that scene.-Old times, Björn. -He muttered as he left his room.They knocked on the door of their suite, announcing that they could enter. Thomas looked out to inform her that the car was waiting at the front entrance of the hotel. -Let's go. -He reached for his formal suit jacket along with his coat and then they were off. On the short drive to the club, he thought quite a bit about Ava, about how she had gotten yesterday. - Is Ava in her room? -Björn asked when the car stopped in front of the place.-Yes, sir. The area is guarded by the assigned security team.-Well, I don't want any surprises

Ava was lying on the large couch in the living room of Björn's office, Thomas had picked her up and carried her inside.-She blanched. -Björn heard Thomas say. -He was talking on the phone and..." Then she stopped her words, frowned and looked at Björn: "He talked to someone. Even with the receiver to her ear, she was pale, then she started mumbling something, and that's when I approached her.Björn tensed.-It was Bruno who called. He must have said something to her to put her like this," he said silently, trying to decipher the connection to his brother. - Why isn't the doctor here? She hasn't woken up. -Ava began to stir in her place, the two men in front of her turned their gazes to her.-No, no, no, no, -Ava began to gasp in fright, tears began to fall down her pale cheeks. - NO!" the scream was loud, determined and there was no hint of fear in that word, Björn felt his body bristle as he heard her, she opened her eyes and tr

Björn adjusted his tie in front of the mirror, it was a perfect knot, he smiled at the reflection of himself, then, turned around to grab the jacket that was on the bed, moments later he left the suite to head to the office. He had felt uneasy at not hearing from Ava, he thought maybe she was upset about Christine. Then he had his mother's, the next auction, Bruno investigating Ava and Christine with her engagement statement.-Sir, I am informed that Miss Gray has not arrived at the rendezvous point. -Björn turned around before he reached his desk, then frowned.- What? -he looked at the clock and realized it was seven o'clock, Ava was always ten minutes earlier already in the office. Björn took a breath and let it out slowly, he didn't imagine anything wrong, it was just a delay. -I'm going to call... -He said, already feeling uneasy."It's only ten minutes, Björn."-Good morning, Mr. Hoffmann. -Ava announced as she entered the office

Amelia was sitting on the terrace sipping her cup of coffee that she usually had at that time of night, she looked at her branded watch, then averted her gaze to the lights of a car approaching her property, she imagined it would be Björn. There was a knock at the door and she ushered him in.-Mrs. Miller, Mr. Hoffmann has arrived.-I guess he's my son and not his father. -She muttered to herself, unheard by the security man. -When he arrives, send him in and don't let anyone interrupt us unless it's something more important.-Yes, ma'am. -the man left the office, Amelia took a sip from her coffee cup, then a couple of minutes later, Björn came in, she noticed a change in his face, he looked more relaxed, "And how could he not be when his sex life has been activated?" she thought.-Good evening, mother. -Björn saw the woman sitting on the terrace with the doors open and watched him from there.-Good night, Bj.

Ava had been lost in her own thoughts without realizing that Björn had arrived at the office, she let out a sigh that made her snap out of it, looked up and saw him.- What did he say to you, Christine?" asked Björn, crossing his arms. He was still furious inside, but he didn't care about the others, but about Ava.-He informed me of the announcement of his...-Ava wrinkled her brow, -commitment.Björn walked over to her and sat back on his heels, took her hand and stroked her knuckles gently.-You know what will happen, ignore Christine.-When she sets her mind to it, she's kind of.....-Toxic. -He completed the sentence for her. -I've known her for years and quite well.- Did you have a thing with her? -Ava was curious.-Yes. But it was a passing thing. She wanted something official and I didn't.-And now that there is something official between the two of them, she shouts it from the rooftops.-Bu

Ava pushed the elevator button to bring it down.-Oh, I had a setback. -Then she looked back at the numbers.- What setback?" asked Christine, Ava turned her face and smiled again.-A personal setback.-I hope it's the first and last time that happens, now that Sussan is not here because of you, I can't be diverting calls to reception. Do you understand?" the sound of the elevator bell rang, the doors opened and the two of them entered.-Yes, it won't happen again. -Ava replied as the doors closed in front of ther. Her gaze was fixed on the elevator numbers.-I hope so," Christine looked at her in profile. -By the way, since you didn't arrive at your work station at your scheduled time, you didn't read the announcement I sent out earlier in the day. -Ava tried to control the anger that was running under her skin, she knew she would rub it in about her engagement to Björn, but what Christine didn't know was that this marriage was not wha

Ava paced back and forth thinking about what Björn's mother would be saying to her. How had desire-driven them? She asked herself that question over and over again. The door to the room opened, and Björn appeared.- Are you ready? -she nodded quickly.- ¿The Mrs. Miller?"Björn noticed her concern.-My mother is fine, don't worry," he paused, casting a fleeting glance at the clock. -I'll change, and we'll go. -Ava nodded. He moved closer until he was facing her, leaned toward her ear, and whispered: "Did you like the panties?She gasped. The warmth of Björn's body pierced her warmly.-Yes, thank you. -she said a little, shaken, then bit her lower lip, "Why did he turn me on with just one question?" she mentally asked herself.-Good," he smiled without her seeing him, straightened up, and left her to get dressed. -Breath, Ava," she whispered to herself as she disappeared into the closet.Fifteen minutes later,

Amelia Miller went into her room and checked that everything was intact as she left it last time, she threw her bag on the bed and walked over to the panoramic window, she had always liked spaces with natural light, the pool was always basic in any place she came to stay and that was her favorite.There was a knock at the door. Without turning around, she gave the order that she could come in, she was expecting her head of security, Albert. But it was Björn.-Mother. -She heard her son's voice behind her back.- Are you decent now? -she asked, and when she didn't hear Björn, she folded her arms and turned to him with a frown on her face. -Wow, you've been quiet. -Strange of him, since he always had something to say in his defense.-I am for the first time, -he paused, as if he couldn't find the exact word to describe it. -Apprehensive. -he confessed.Amelia raised her eyebrows in surprise.-Well," she didn't know what else to
