Grandfather, what should we do?" Everly asked in a panic.Her grandfather looked at her sharply and asked, "How did you offend her?""Grandfather, it was just a trivial matter. It was nothing important. She was the one who took the necklace from us, so I decided to teach her a small lesson. I didn't know it would lead me here," Everly replied, telling a white lie. Her sincerity left no space for her grandfather to doubt her."Everly, are you sure of what you're saying? I heard that woman is very formidable. She is the only one who could challenge the Clark company. I knew one day you would end up bringing trouble to this family. Have you seen what your good daughter has brought?" Old Master Harrison scolded Sharon, hitting his walking stick on the ground."I am sorry, grandfather. Let's find a solution, and then after everything is solved, you can punish me," Everly said, bowing her head like an obedient child."Yes, father, Everly is right. Let's find a solution to this problem. We sh
Sandra's sharp tone cut through the air as she questioned, "Why are you asking him so many questions in such a rude way? Mr. Aiden might already be put off before you even ask him what he wants to drink," Sandra said, rolling her eyes.Emine looked at Sandra silently and walked away without reacting."Mr. Aiden, please sit down and don't mind her attitude. She's just not in a good mood this morning," Sandra said, trying to smooth things over.Aiden smiled at Sandra, but his gaze followed Emine as she walked away. He felt his heart ease without even realizing it.Emine returned to the hall with a cup of tea in her hand and placed it beside where he sat. She then threw a clean towel at Aiden."Emine, be nice," Sandra scolded.Emine shook her head while looking at Sandra and then looked away."It's fine. By the way, thank you," Aiden said to Emine with a warm smile.She didn't reciprocate the same gesture and sat down a bit far from him, with Sandra between them."So, what brings you here
Here you go," Emine said as she handed a glass of juice to Aiden."Thank you, Miss Emine," Aiden replied awkwardly."Ahem, ahem, I have somewhere to go. I have to meet a client," Sandra said abruptly and quickly left the room without giving Emine a chance to respond."This traitor, how could she side with Emine and abandon me." Emine mumbled under her breath. She was really disappointed in her. Tsk,tsk she will teach this naughty girl a lesson," Emine muttered under her breath, disappointed in Sandra's actions. She felt betrayed and vowed to teach her a lesson for siding with Aiden and abandoning her.Now that Sandra was gone, Emine and Aiden were left in an awkward silence, not knowing what to say to each other. "Mr. Aiden, the rain has stopped, you can leave," Emine said, gesturing towards the door."Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Emine," Aiden said and stood up to leave. He tugged at the door handle, but it wouldn't budge. Confused, he wondered what was happening and why he co
Aiden tasted the food and it was damn delicious. He sworn to himself not to miss Emine's food again. Emine stared at the man who was eating gracefully. If it was at first, she would have been happy but now she has no feelings for him. Suddenly, Aiden's phone rang and the caller was Finn. "Good boss, I just received news front he hospital that the old master had awaken. He wants to see you." "Ok, I am on my way." Aiden said hung up. "Thank you Emine," he said reluctantly and left. Emine stared at his back with miss emotions.Next morning, Emine's phone rang while she was fast asleep.With sleepy eyes, she took her phone and answered it, saying in a grumpy voice, "This better be good. It's a Sunday morning, and I was planning to sleep in.""Queen, something big happened," MC's urgent voice could be heard."This better be good, if not prepare to leave for Africa this afternoon to work on the new golf line found there. And believe me when I say I will make sure you stay there for two y
Emine walked out of her office with Arriana, feeling a mix of annoyance and curiosity about the unexpected meeting."This better be good. If not, prepare to resign; I don't like people who cannot even do something as simple as work on a schedule. Why did I even employ someone like this?" she complained on the way.Arriana, on the other hand, was praying this works; otherwise, she will lose the very job she is proud of.As they entered the conference room, she saw an unfamiliar young man sitting there.His look took her by surprise, and for some reason, she felt she knew him somewhere, but couldn't put her finger on where.He was looking very handsome with sharp Asian features and dressed in a sleek black suit that accentuated his impressive physique.Emine raised an eyebrow, sizing up the man before her. "Who are you, and why do you want to meet on a Sunday?" she asked in a no-nonsense tone.The man stood up with a polite smile, extending his hand towards her. "I apologize for the inco
Everly took a deep breath, mustering all her courage, and decided to visit Emine at her office. She looked at the tall abs magnificent building before her and felt entangled in her heart .But remembering what her grandfather said she could only keep it hidden and walk in with a calm look. She hoped that maybe, just maybe, she could reason with her and find a way to clear her name without compromising her principles. As she walked through the elegant corridors of Blay Company, her heart pounded in her chest, unsure of what to expect.Upon reaching Emine's office, she knocked on the door. "Come in," Emine's voice sounded cold and commanding.Everly entered, trying to maintain her composure. "Emine, we need to talk. I believe you know why I'm here."Emine looked up from her desk, her eyes locking with Everly's. "Oh, it's you. What a surprise," she said, faking concern.She smiled coldly at her and looked away. "I know you're behind the news that surfaced about me. I don't want to beg
When Everly's grand mother return after visiting her husband at the hospital, she angrily put Everly under house arrest for two days after she failed to convince Emine.Everly was finally out and decided to pay a visit to her grandfather. Everly's heart pounded with anxiety as she entered the hospital with her mother.She felt a mix of guilt and worry about her grandfather's health and the trouble she had brought upon the family.They made their way to the ward where her grandfather was admitted.“Good afternoon. Are you here to visit Mr. Harrison?” a nurse asked.Everly's Mother hurriedly answered, “Yes, we are. I'm his daughter, and this is my daughter Everly.”The nurse nodded with understanding, “Alright, you may proceed. Just a reminder, please try not to do anything that might agitate him. His health is not as robust as it used to be.”Everly's Mother assured, “We'll be careful. Thank you.”As they entered the ward, Everly saw her grandfather lying on the hospital bed, looking fr
"Kincaid Bruce, just as Ramsey said, you are indeed David's son. I'm proud to be the aunt of a smart nephew like you," Monica said with a cold look. Her expression was different from Ramsey's calculating expression."I can't say I'm not flattered. You guys hid yourselves very well, making it hard to find you. But it just so happened that Ramsey here, or should I say Alec, gave you both away," Kincaid said with a calm expression.Seeing the one person he had always been yearning to meet again, his heart was heavy as he hated her. But before his worst enemy, who was as smart as ever, he didn't want to act recklessly, in case this crazy woman had a backup plan."Did you probably get him when you two had a fight, and he defeated you, right?" Monica asked as she looked at Ramsey with a cold look."You can say that. Well, he was desperate to show off his powers that he didn't even notice the chip I placed in his body when I injured him. Just when I thought I couldn't be more wrong, my assum
"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
