Quinn was totally flabbergasted. As it turned out, the animated characters in the short “movie” were Lucian and Thalia. Quinn knew the night would end with a proposal from Jake. However, she didn’t expect this surprise. As she was processing everything, one of the cars in the parking area opened and Jake stepped out majestically with a bouquet of premium roses in his hands. He was clad in a tailor-made navy suit with his hair styled into a slight quiff. His whole stature resembled a nobleman from an aristocratic movie. Quinn thought he looked like a Greek god. Only that god was her man.“I think this is the time when you step out of the car,” Claire urged excitedly. Quinn was bereft of words. She stepped out of the car, her movements looking like she was moving in slow motion. Her eyes were brimmed with tears as she stood outside, waiting for Jake to reach her. She could hear her heart pounding loudly in her ears. Behind Jake, the screen kept showing their pictures from all the
At the Kent Investment Company on a Monday morning.“I know you’re an adult, Liam and you can do whatever you want, but enough is enough! You’re going to marry Ashley Burton and that’s final!” Hunter Kent yelled at his son in the CEO’s office.They were just from having a board member’s meeting where Liam Kent’s reputation was put into question. Hunter Kent promised the board members that he would make sure Liam got married to remove his playboy image which wasn’t good for the company. So, he followed Liam to his office to tell him his decision. When Liam ignored him, Hunter banged his hand on the table and yelled, “I’m talking to you! Ashley Burton is twenty-five and she’s a very kind woman. I’m sure you will like her-”“Dad, please. I told you I’m never getting married,” Liam replied, cutting his father’s words off. "I don't want to marry and I don't want to have kids."Hunter’s face turned red from anger. His nose appeared to be releasing smoke and he looked like a pressure cooker
The young woman smiled. She glanced at Liam and said, “Good morning, Mr Kent.” Liam gulped. He swallowed empty air as he stared at the stunning young woman in front of him. He couldn’t believe his eyes. Who knew she would grow into such a beautiful and attractive woman? “Aria,” Liam remarked, his voice hoarse as he stared at her in awe. The young woman was none other than, Aria Carter. She was the daughter of Adrian Carter, Henry Ford’s best friend who was also a former soccer player. Liam knew Aria through Oliver. He also knew she was in love with Oliver. Six years ago, she was just eighteen and he thought she was just an unruly teenager who was obsessed with his friend. However, she was now a full-grown woman who unwittingly made his heart race. Liam was stunned because this had never happened before. No woman had ever made his heart race until now… Was she always this beautiful? Or was he blind back then?Damn... “Sir?” Liam was brought back to the present when his assista
Oliver Ford had gone to court to watch his wife, Claire Hamilton Ford, in action. Ever since he joined one of her court sessions, he had become addicted to seeing her do her thing in court.As he watched her work, he realised why his wife was called the she-devil. She was a powerful lawyer who rarely lost cases. Watching her dominate the courtroom turned Oliver on. It was like a new aphrodisiac he had discovered. He made sure to make love to his wife after every court session. That day was not any different. After delegating his work to a few directors, he went to the high court to watch Claire since she had a case she was working on. He also went there to offer emotional and physical support. After all, the people she was going up against had ties with the mafia. Claire was defending a man who was framed for murder. It was a difficult case and had already been tried in a court before the accused, Michael Knight, appealed his unfair sentence and hired Claire to be his lawyer. As i
“I knew you would end up like this,” Liam remarked, taking a sip of his whiskey. Aria glared at Liam. She spat, “If you’re here to make fun of me, then go away… I don’t need your sympathy.”“I’m just worried. You’ve been drinking beer like it’s water. You’re drunk,” Liam remarked. Aria scoffed and asked, “Why do you care? Are you trying to get into my pants?”Liam furrowed his eyebrows. “Do you think I’m always trying to get into someone’s pants?”“Yes!” Aria admitted. “Everyone knows the Kent heir is a manwhore.”Liam narrowed his eyes. For some reason unknown to him, he didn’t like what Aria thought of him. “I’m not a manwhore,” he said in a low voice, frowning when he thought about his past endeavours. He didn’t know why but he was starting to regret how he had lived his life. Why was he sleeping around with all those women when he got no gratification from it?“Right. And I'm a virgin. Haha!” Aria laughed and then, she began to cry. “Hey, what’s wrong?” Liam asked, looking at
Liam was unable to resist Aria. In fact, he tried hard to push her away. However, there was something about the way she felt in his arms that made it feel so natural… like she belonged there in his arms. Her scent was familiar too… it reminded him of the time he got drugged and ended up sleeping with his bodyguard. However, Aria seemed more familiar to that woman than his bodyguard ever had. Aria's face kept overlapping with the woman from that night... could Sophia have lied? She was in his bed when he woke up the next day though... Liam felt confused, however, he brushed those thoughts away and enjoyed his time with the woman in his arms. A simple kiss was all it took for Liam to lose control and take Aria right there in the backseat of his car. It was wild and hot and if they weren’t on the side of the road, he would have wanted to go on and on until morning. This was the first time he was having good sex in a long time… Aria’s body was so soft. The way she moulded into him… r
Aria got to work, trying to crack through the hacker’s computer. It was someone skilled with experience seeing how they managed to hack into the system and make it look like she did it. With such skills, an average IT professional can not easily crack the hacker's code. The hackers were confident in their skills and that's why they were bold enough to hack the system of such a large enterprise. They left no traces of their actions.However, they had never met Aria before. There was a reason she graduated with a perfect score in software engineering. There was no code that she couldn't crack. She sat on her comfortable high-end chair, typing rapidly on the keyboard. Her face was serious with a look of determination as lines of code flashed before her eyes. It didn’t take long for her to find the IP address of the hacker. After running a series of commands and bypassing basic security measures, the screen flashed with progress bars as she decrypted the information. Aria furrowed he
Claire was off from work, so she called Quinn and they went shopping at the mall. Since she had some free time, Claire wanted to get a gift for her husband to appreciate him, so she dragged her best friend to the mall to help her choose the perfect gift. “What gifts do you think men like?” Claire asked her friend as they walked around the mall. “I have no idea… doesn’t he have money already? Maybe give him something he can’t buy with money,” Quinn suggested. “I know he's rich but I still want to get him something. Maybe a watch? It will be special since it’s from me. He always gets me gifts, so I want to return the favour,” Claire remarked. They entered a jewerly shop and Claire purchased a limited edition Rolex watch for Oliver. She had it engraved with, ‘I love you, Oliver’ and had it wrapped. She then went to a clothing store and chose some clothes for him. “I know he has plenty of clothes but it would be meaningful to buy him clothes with my own money. He has an expensive tas
