Aiden, having reached the limit of his patience, stood up to leave. The other shareholders eagerly awaited this moment, unable to tolerate the delay any longer. Their happiness was akin to that of a bride anxiously awaiting her groom's arrival because finally the meeting was going to adjourned. Just as Aiden rose from his seat, the office door swung open, revealing a slender lady with a flawless figure. Her attire reflected her personality, emphasizing her petite frame and shapely body. Her hair flowed freely, long and loosely curled, cascading over her shoulders and down her back. Her eyes were stunning, reminiscent of an autumn lake, and her radiant smile accompanied her apology for being late. Whether it was her beautiful eyes or her luminous smile, the board of directors, prepared to unleash their anger, suddenly found themselves enchanted and pacified. "No problem at all," they responded, waving their hands dismissively. They were captivated by her beauty, each secretly yearning
Emine's grip tightened around Marianne's hand, her eyes filled with an unsettling mix of anger and fear. As Marianne felt the suffocating weight of Emine's gaze, a chilling sensation crept over her, causing her to break into a cold sweat without even realizing it. She desperately tried to find her voice, but the words seemed to be trapped, as if an invisible barrier prevented them from escaping her trembling lips. "Repeat what you just said!" Emine's voice erupted with a force that startled the onlookers, their joyous faces now contorted with fear. The intensity of her presence made it nearly impossible to meet her gaze. Marianne's body shook uncontrollably, rendering her unable to utter a single word. Her mouth hung open, silently attempting to form a response, but it was as if her throat had constricted, leaving her speechless and helpless. "Are you going to repeat it?" Emine's tone softened, and the menacing aura that had enveloped her dissipated. As Marianne noticed this sudden
"I demand the results within thirty minutes," she asserted firmly before abruptly ending the call. A smug grin played upon her lips as she thought, "Marriane, you've truly provoked the wrong person, and I guarantee you'll never open that stupid mouth of yours. I will make sure you never talk again. I will teach you a real lesson for talking I'll of my mother. A notification chimed on her phone, capturing her attention. She swiftly checked the message, sent by her assistant. "Boss, you've received an offer. Mr. Rich wants you to eliminate this man," the message conveyed. Attached was a picture of a middle-aged man with a cold demeanor and intricate body tattoos. "What's the price?" she inquired. "Five hundred thousand dollars." "Impressive. Gather more information about the target; the job must be completed today." "Understood, Boss." Emily was not an ordinary assassin. She selectively targeted individuals who deserved retribution—those who preyed on the vulnerable and made their
"You better pray you'll still be alive by then." "What do you mean?" Mr. James had a sinking feeling, his instincts telling him that the girl before him wasn't as fragile as she appeared. He realized he needed help before his life was taken from him. "Help!" he exclaimed, but before his voice could be heard, Emine swiftly covered his mouth with duct tape. She bound him to a chair. "Excellent. Now, let's get back to business. Do you still desire my... satisfaction?" She stood up and approached him. Mr. James vigorously shook his head, indicating he no longer wanted it. Who was this girl, and how had he offended her? He wished he could ask her. Emine sensed his curiosity and decided to quench it. "You want to know why I'm here for you and whom you've offended. Alright, let me satisfy your curiosity. You have offended many people, but due to your powerful background in both politics and business, you fear no one and commit crimes even in broad daylight. Unfortunately, your recklessnes
"I apologize for sending this package at such an hour; we encountered unforeseen issues along the way," the delivery man expressed genuine regret. His sincere words put Marriane at ease, lessening her suspicions. She reassured him that it was alright and accepted the package. Curious about its contents, she settled on her bed and began unwrapping it. Despite her initial intention to wait until morning, the package's allure sparked her curiosity, compelling her to take a peek. In shock, she exclaimed, "Aaahahaa!" and hastily threw the package away. Fear consumed her as she called out, "Mom, dad, help me!" Her mind immediately flashed back to the disturbing image of blood she had witnessed just days before. Inside the package lay a human hand, boldly marked with the words "Devil Queen" on its surface. Memories of a recent murder flooded Marriane's thoughts, leaving her questioning why the Devil Queen would send such a macabre package. Rushing to her room, her mother witnessed the grue
When Aiden came into view, everyone's jaws dropped in awe. Gasps escaped the lips of the girls, captivated by his unparalleled beauty. Even those who were accompanied by their dates or boyfriends couldn't help but shift their attention to Aiden. Jealousy brewed among the men as they realized their own light had been overshadowed, their girlfriends' gazes fixated on this mesmerizing man. How could he be more beautiful than any woman? They couldn't help but wish they possessed his striking handsomeness. But who were they to complain? They could only harbor bitter resentment, aware that no one dared to challenge this divine deity."I can't believe he's more beautiful than me. Nature can be so unjust," one of the ladies lamented."Wow, he must have been fashioned differently, not born like the rest of us.""You're joking, right? If he wasn't born, how did he grace the Earth with his presence?""Oh, I would do anything to make him mine," another sighed longingly."Don't even think about it
Aiden stood in awe, utterly unable to believe his own eyes. How could it be possible that the stunning figure before him was Emine? Had she hidden her true beauty all those years they were married? It seemed inconceivable to him. This woman, who had snatched him away from her own sister, had never bothered to dress in a seductive manner. The only thing that had ever attracted him was her natural scent. Stupefied, Aiden remained frozen, carefully concealing his emotions. Emine felt the intensity of his gaze and their eyes met. Yet, she showed no reaction, merely giving him a fleeting glance as if they were strangers meeting for the first time. Anger surged through Aiden. How dare she pretend not to recognize him? To him, Emine owed him her very life, and she had no right to ignore him. But Emine, looking at him briefly and continuing on her way, cared nothing for him. All the feelings she once had for him were lost, replaced by a seething hatred for the man who had destroyed her life.
Everly stood frozen, unsure of what to do next. "No, I refuse to be bullied by this girl. I must stand up to her.""You! How dare you speak to me in such a manner? You're nothing but a useless promiscuous woman who knows how to manipulate men," she sneered, pointing an accusing finger, capturing the attention of everyone around them.Aiden stood there, intrigued by the unfolding drama, curious to see how Emine would handle the situation. Ever since Emine found her strength, she had made a promise to herself never to let anyone insult or humiliate her without repercussions. She was determined to fight back, regardless of who her opponent was."If you dare open your filthy mouth again, I'll make you regret ever being born on this planet. I'll yank out your rotten teeth and show you the consequences," she coldly warned, but Everly chose to ignore her. After all, she was the young mistress of the influential Harrison family. Who was Emine to threaten her? Everly lifted her head high and p
"Okay, I will stay," Aiden agreed to stay.Emine settled everything and called MC when she got out of the hospital. "I was ambushed today, I found the mastermind.""Queen, are you alright?" MC asked with a worried tone."Don't worry, I am fine. But we will have to find out who did it. Wait, you should go to the place where the incident happened; the men have been wounded, so they wouldn't be able to go far. Bring anyone who is alive. I need to interrogate the person.""Okay, Queen, but you will have to go to the hospital to check if you are really okay.""I said I am okay," Emine said and hung up. She set off for the meeting."Your boss was wounded because of me. Please do well to take care of the rest. He might come home in two days," Emine said to Finn."My boss has been admitted?" Finn was surprised. His boss would never accept being in the hospital unless he is in a critical condition. He just told him he wouldn't be able to make it to the meeting. Maybe it might be serious."Whic
Intrigue flared in Emine's eyes as she coolly responded while holding her waist, "And how exactly does that concern me?"Rage surged within the leader, his anger unabated, his words venomous, "You're asking for death, you slut." They had believed she was on their side, but her true intentions had caught them off guard. Now, with their brother incapacitated, the future of their legacy hung in jeopardy.Emine's gaze remained steady, her voice dripping with defiance, "If you're after my life, let's see if you can even get close."The assassins' fury intensified, their leader stalking closer, menace oozing from his presence, "I'll make you suffer beyond imagination..." His hand raised to strike Emine, yet an abrupt scream of pain pierced the air, freezing their actions. "Release me, you bitch!" he howled, even through his agony, finding strength to curse her.Amid his cries, Emine's composed demeanor remained unshaken. "Your pain hasn't dulled your tongue, I see," she remarked, twisting h
Grey chimed in with a thoughtful suggestion. 'Why not take things slow? Instead of jumping ahead, consider paying her a visit,' he advised.Aiden mulled over the idea. 'Visit her at her company?' he asked.Grey shook his head gently. 'No, not at her workplace, but at her home. Given all the times you've come to her rescue, she probably won't hold any grudges.'Aiden's intrigue grew. 'That's not a bad idea,' he admitted.The scene was set on a bustling Monday morning, as Emine geared up for another workday. With Ryan away on business and Sandra the sole presence at home, Emine was caught up in her routine. Sandra, who had been at Emine's place the previous Saturday, piped up, 'Emine, I want to tag along with you.'Emine's response was firm but friendly. 'No, you're staying here to whip up some delicious dishes.'Sandra's pout was hard to miss. 'I'm not your maid,' she retorted.Emine reassured her. 'I know you're not, but how about you be a dear and hold down the fort? I won't be headin
Finn's gaze pierced his boss, as if he were studying a complete stranger. Enn, his boss, had undergone an astonishing transformation."Grey, I need you to swing by the house today," Finn overheard his boss's unexpected request."Hey, what's the deal? Something up?" Grey's surprise was palpable. Aiden seldom reached out spontaneously, especially during work hours.Finn's ears strained to catch the words. His boss was forsaking the office for an offbeat rendezvous at home with a friend."Uh... is," Finn's words stumbled out."Got any troubles?" Aiden inquired, a hint of a smile gracing his lips."Nah, boss, no issues. But we've got that sit-down scheduled with Mr. Steve. You realize how crucial that meeting is, right?""Changed my mind. I just scrapped it. I'm diving into the art of winning my wife's heart. Gotta make sacrifices to woo her, you know? You handle the mess, alright? And here's a bonus for your trouble." Aiden slapped Finn's shoulder genially before exiting.Finn pinched hi
Mrs. Harrison's anguish overflowed, her tears an uncontrollable torrent, yet she stifled the sobs that threatened to escape her lips. The sight before her was unfathomable – a video depicting her own son in captivity, his fate hanging precariously in the balance. The torment etched across his face left her heartrending questions unanswered. "Is this truly my flesh and blood? What unfathomable ordeal has befallen him?" She stood there, bewildered, the video's grip on her soul relentless.Meanwhile, as the haunting footage left the couple shattered, the hospital doors swung open to reveal the medical team emerging from the emergency room. With a heart as heavy as the questions in his mind, Mr. Harriot Harrison rushed forth, desperation etched into every line of his face. "Doctor, please tell me – how is my father?" His voice trembled with a mix of dread and hope.The doctor's gaze carried the weight of sorrow as he met Mr. Harrison's eyes. "I regret to inform you, Mr. Harrison, that desp
Say another word, and I'll throw you out," Emine threatened, leaving MC to silence himself, fully aware of Emine's power.Perhaps MC was onto something; Aiden had been rescuing her lately. But what were his true intentions? Paying him a visit might uncover his motives. She would pay him a visit one day. She can't afford to owe him.They brought Eastwood to the basement, where he was tied to a bed. Five strong men entered, and fear shook him."No, no, Emine, please," he begged, hoping for a miracle, praying for someone to rescue him."Mr. Eastwood, like I said, no torture or hitting. Just giving you what you want," Emine said, holding his chin with a wicked smile."No, no, I don't want anything. Let me go, and I'll stop my family's pursuit. Your grandmother won't be a target again. Please, spare me," Eastwood pleaded sincerely, understanding Emine's ruthlessness. He wished this nightmare would end."Ow," Emine sighed as if pitying him. "Too late now. If you dared to kidnap me, you must
Amidst a whirlwind of playful banter, Aiden cunningly remarked, "Well, alright, my lady," his voice dripping with mischief like honey.But Emine's eyes rolled, clearly not in the mood for games. Bigger fish were to fry - Eastwood was right there, writhing in pain and waiting for her next move.Emine, a blend of defiance and cool determination, shifted her gaze to Eastwood, and with a sly grin, teased, "'Fancy a taste of what I've got, huh Mr Eastwood?"'Eastwood was left bewildered, sensing that things were about to take a dark turn.Then, suddenly, Emine's attention darted to Aiden, catching everyone by surprise with her question, " Are all of your men into men, I mean are any of them gay?" The room fell into stunned silence, her words having hit them like a bolt from the blue.Aiden turned to his men, who all shook their heads, confirming their unwavering loyalty to the ladies. Emine's next words sent shivers down their spines. 'Since your men aren't exploring that realm, leave Eas
Eastwood finally couldn't hide any longer and showed his face. He called his men who tied Emine to the chair."Well, it wouldn't be bad if I can get through your beautiful thighs. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Tonight I am going to have a great feast," he said with a lustful voice as he caressed her soft cheeks."I might be weak, but I will never forgive you if you ever let me go," Emine said in a weak voice."Well, I wouldn't give you the chance either. I might as well not kill you and make you become my sex toy, well that will be a better idea." Aiden rubbed her mouth with his hands. She is very beautiful, even more beautiful than his sister. He had always wished he could have her someday, it seems the heavens were on his side today."You son of a bitch, your company will surely go bankrupt. Even if I die, I will make sure you die along with me. And do you think I will come here alone? I am not a fool," Emine spat on him."Slap, slap, you filthy garbage, how dare
"Who are you and what do you want from me?" With no fear in her voice, she inquired. "It's quite simple, Miss Emine, talk to Mr. Aiden, and your grandmother will be alive." The voice said without showing his face. "Oh, I see, so is Harrison's. What has my grandmother got to do with this? She is not to be blamed for your incompetence." Emine was boiling in anger. "I see, so you actually have the gut to talk back while grandmother's life is still at stake. I think you don't really care about her." The shadow said. "You dare?" Emine roared. "Why don't I dare? A wounded lion will do anything in his power to survive. Harrison's company has been in power for almost a hundred years, why must it vanish in just a month. Isn't it unfair?" You could hear the helpless tone of the one in the darkness. "Well, that wasn't my fault. The Harrison's have forgotten that no matter how strong or how old you are, there is someone stronger than you. You wanted to rely on your power and suppress the we
