Evan saw Adrian holding his wrist in the middle."You were only welcomed here to talk to my wife, Mr Evan Davis," Is all he said before throwing a vigorous punch on Evan's face, throwing him on the ground. "And I think my wife has gotten done talking to you, so you can see yourself out of this place now," He offered a fake grin at Evan, whose mouth was bleeding after his abrupt hit. Evan got up on his feet and gawked into Adrian's barbaric gaze. "And yes, you were wanting more money. Weren't you? So tell me how much more do you want?" He asked, casually. "Tell me, Mr Davis. Don't feel shy to tell us the level of your hunger for money?" Adrian smirked and Evan scoffed. He got up on his feet and then rubbed the corner of his lips which was bleeding. "I want an additional 5 million more," Evan announced, shamelessly, causing Adrian to chuckle. He tilted his head a bit and looked at Melanie who was staring at Evan entirely startled and still shocked. Adrian tossed his head at Evan
"So now let me help her in understanding my words in a slightly painful but extremely pleasurable way," he rasped against her lips and then captured them in his mouth.Adrian expected her to struggle or protest but what he got was her complete silence. She wasn't even moving. He slightly pulled back and witnessed something which shivered his heart.She was just staring at him, without even batting her lashes. Tears were silently rolling down from the corner of her eyes. She was looking like a lifeless body which was just breathing."Have you already given up to your husband, Mrs Salvatore?" His words came out as an acquisition. Adrian saw more tears to fill in her eyes at his question but a painful tiny beam formed on her lips."I have already lose my everything, so giving up the last thing which I have left to someone isn't something strange to me," Adrian heard her saying those words to him with no emotion on her face."Because if not you, someone else is going to definitely snatch
Her breathing hardened by finding his feet started reducing the distance between them. His eyes didn't leave her and were daring her to do the same. His voracious presence made her understand that he had already heard everything but Melanie restrained herself from showing any kind of fear.She stood by her ground. He stopped before her, leaving a very little distance."So you've already started invading my life, Melanie?" His voice was laced with venom.She knew why he was saying it."I'm not invading anyone's life. She's a part of my life too, so I've every right to know about her,"Melanie saw him hoarsely chuckling at her answer. He laughed like a maniac and then fixed his barbaric gaze at her. He removed the last inch of distance between them and then clutched her arms in a painful grip, causing her to hiss."Part of your life?" He tugged her closer. Melanie felt like his grip was tearing her skin, his hold was that painful on her."Then how did you let that part of your life get
Melanie didn't even know for how long she was crying. Her eyes had started hurting. Her body was paining, sitting in that same position but still it hadn't reduced the pain inside her, not even a bit."Melanie,"Melanie slowly took her eyes up and saw that staff girl, Kade standing at the door. She was holding a tray of food."Can I come in?" She gently asked. Melanie rubbed her eyes and slowly nodded.Kade walked in and came towards her. She placed the tray on the bed and sat beside her on the ground."Am I allowed to ask why are you crying?" Melanie didn't reply but just looked down. Kade was a bit hesitant because somehow Melanie was his boss's wife and she had no right to be so personal with her but still she did that for the sake of humanity.She placed her palm over Melanie's palm and asked"Do you want to talk about it?" Melanie just shook her head slightly, causing Kade to sigh. She clutched her palm"I know it's not professional and I apologise if this would make me overste
"I want to talk to you," He arched his brows in suspicion at her words and then saw her stepping inside the door. "I haven't allowed you to come inside my room," His firm words caused her to halt. Melanie found his hardened facial features turned more cold but she was not there to argue or fight with him. "I wouldn't have done it if not for you getting inside my life without my approval," His gaze turned rigid at her comeback but he didn't say anything further. Melanie took a couple of steps towards his direction and stopped, maintaining a rational and decent distance between them. "I'm just here to ask you the cost of the favours which you're giving me here," she asked, making him a bit untidy. "Like giving me food to eat, clothes to wear and a shed over my head. I want to know at what price you're rendering all of this to me," she stated, daringly. "Because if your cost involves something which I'm not capable of giving to you then I don't want your favours," They both
"You can work for me by being my personal assistant,"Melanie tossed her head and looked at him, confused. He chuckled watching the confusion in her alluring hazel eyes."You know, personal assistant's work? Like helping me in taking my bath, changing my clothes, feeding me and sometimes, even…." He halted and grinned more evilly.Her eyes widened more. She immediately shook her head and tried to push him away."I've no interest in becoming your personal anything, so leave me and go become your own assistant, Adrian Salvatore," He chuckled at her words and tightened his hold around her. Melanie protested while frowning. He bumped his nose with her and uttered."Use your mind just like your big mouth, Mrs Salvatore," Melanie scoffed at his statement. He grinned and further stated."I need a personal assistant at my workplace. I want you to work for me in my company as my assistant," Now the confusion left from her face. She stopped struggling."But I don't have any work experience a
"Melanie sounds better because Mrs Salvatore sounds quite ugly to me, Mr Salvatore," Adrian's jaw clenched at her brave reply, especially when he noticed some maids, gasping and some, were even lowly chuckling. Melanie gave him an innocent smile before uttering to everyone. "So you all can call me Melanie. I have no problem with it," Everyone nodded at her except him, who was practically killing her with his gaze. "And what about me, Mrs Salvatore?" She again tossed her head at him and saw him smirking. Adrian shoved a blackberry in his mouth "What should I call you, Mrs Salvatore?" He chewed the berry, teasingly, earning a deadly glare from her but Melanie immediately flashed him her fake beam. "I would suggest you to not to call me at all, Mr Salvatore," This time every maid chuckled at her answer. Adrian gritted his teeth. How he wished to seal that big mouth of hers with his. Melanie innocently batted her lashes at him. "Come, Melanie. Have your breakfast," Kade said
Melanie was standing at that huge glass door with his name written on it with dark bold letters. 'CEO.. Adrian Salvatore'With a firm sigh, she pushed the door open and her eyes straight fell on him who was reading some papers and was sitting on his chair.She knocked to grab his attention but he didn't look at her. She scoffed. Had he turned deaf? She was about to knock again."Half an hour has passed since your appointment time," he uttered, still focusing his eyes on the papers."Now you can see yourself out, Mrs Salvatore," Her eyes enlarged at his words. She gritted her teeth and invited herself in."It isn't my fault that you hadn't given the proper instruction to me of your appointment schedule, last night," she blurted out. He finally took his emerald eyes at her."Well that was your precious responsibility to ask me about it but you didn't feel the necessity of doing it, Mrs Salvatore," he uttered, calmly but there she was burning like a volcano."There was traffic, so how w
"Happy birthday, mommy," Slowly unlatching her lashes, she blinked in order to clear her drowsy vision and the first thing that caused her attention was those beautiful green orbs of her 5 years old daughter. She sat on the bed and then opened her arms for her daughter. The 5 year old jumped on the bed and got on her mother's lap. "Thank you so much, my baby," the kid giggled in happiness until. "Happiest birthday, my doll…"that voice rasped in her ear from behind. She stretched her head and this time her eyes met with another pair of gleaming emerald eyes of her husband. "Thank you so much," she flashed him a beam. He leaned to her face and kissed her forehead. "Papa was hiding under the bed to wish you, mommy," their daughter informed her mother. Melanie chuckled at her words. "Well, you forgot it was your idea, my pretty lady, Adriana," Adrian said while picking his daughter, Adriana, in his arms. His daughter tittered and then pecked his cheek. "No secrets from mommy,"
"Congratulations. Mrs Salvatore is pregnant," Both Melanie and Adrian were too shocked to even react after hearing those words of the doctor. They both stared at the doctor like she had just slapped both of them on their faces.The doctor smiled at the couple's reaction and then cleared her throat, taking the couple back to their senses."Mr Salvatore, please bring Mrs Salvatore to my clinic tomorrow in the morning. I need to run some tests on her to confirm the news," she said and then got up, after passing a smile to the couple.The doctor left, leaving them alone. Melanie gulped and slowly travelled her eyes at her husband who was still standing beside her like a statue, completely frozen.She slowly got up on her knees on the bed and then cupped his face."Rian .." she softly took his name. He blinked before fixing his gaze at her. He lifted his palm and gently touched her tummy and took his eyes down at her abdomen. He stared at her tummy, still without saying anything."Rian…
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our beautiful couple of the night, Mr Adrian Salvatore and Mrs Melanie Salvatore," Everyone started clapping their hands after hearing the MC's words. The spotlight flashed on the host couple which caused a beautiful smile to appear on their faces.They both gave each other an alluring glance and then Adrian wrapped his arm around her waist. The guests started cheering and congratulating them. The couple thanked everyone, wholeheartedly."Many many congratulations, Mr and Mrs Salvatore. Hope you both will have an amazing and beautiful married life ahead," one of Adrian's clients wished them.The couple beamed at him and thanked him. The large beautifully decorated cake was served in front of them which caused a big smile to form on Melanie's face because Adrian had personally told the makers to make and decorate it as per her liking which was even a surprise for her."It's looking so beautiful and tasty," she couldn't help herself but to whisper
Staring at her reflection in the mirror, her hazel eyes started beaming. Her eyes wandered over her entire body and then shifted towards those clothes and jewellery, placed in front of her. She gently brushed her fingers over them and then smiled to herself until she felt those arms getting wrapped around her abdomen.She didn't even need to turn around to look to know to whom those arms belonged. Her smile widened by feeling the beautiful warmth of that embrace."And why is my wifey still not ready for our wedding celebration party?" That raspy voice softly cooed in her ear. She slowly shifted her eyes up from those clothes and looked at the mirror where her eyes met with those alluring emerald eyes which had captured her heart in them.Her heart tingled in content. She wrapped her arms over his and leaned against his chest."Looking handsome as always, Mr Salvatore," she complimented him by gazing at his attire which was a matte black tuxedo.A beam crept on his face at her words.
"Because till the day, I am alive…I won't let any person or thing harm or hurt her," Adrian yelled at his tossed head.He was about to hit Arthur again but Melanie held back his palm."Let it be, Rian," He snapped his head and saw her staring at him with her teary eyes. Melanie looked at Arthur."Do you know your one wrong step has resulted in destroying so many lives, Arthur?" Her voice didn't hold anger or rage but hurt, disappointment and pain."I lost that person whom I used to consider as my mother," her tears turned more vigorous, aching Adrian's heart."I lost that person whom I used to consider one of the strongest pillars of my life from my childhood," her voice started breaking."I lost everything just because of your one pathetic plan and wicked want, Arthur,"Adrian clutched back her palm and wrapped his arm around her back by witnessing her state."You have just lost your company today. Someone has taken your wealth from you today and it's hurting and bothering you so mu
Arthur and Daniel dashed inside Hayes Corporation at the same time. Anger and confusion was burning in their eyes as to why they had been kicked out of their own companies by saying the shares of their companies had been transferred to someone's name who had ordered not to let them step inside their companies anymore. They had transferred their shares to Erica's name. Only she had that authority to do that but why would she do that and for those answers, they had reached the Hayes Corporation.The security let them inside and Erica's manager told them she was waiting for them in her cabin. They both stepped inside her cabin with uncountable questions emerging in their heads.They saw her chair was turned around and its back was facing them."Ms. Hayes, what is this? Why have we been told that you have transferred our shares to someone else's name and that person has restricted us from entering our own companies?" Daniel uttered, completely displeased and angry. On the other hand Arth
"Welcome, Mr Waylen and Mr Gomez, Ms. Hayes will be here soon," Erica's manager informed them.They had come to Hayes Corporation to sign the contract. They had agreed to accept her condition because their greediness for that profit margin of the project was too much to let it slip from their hands so easily, especially when they didn't have to spend a single penny but in return was getting so much. They were too blinded by their greediness to thoroughly check the pros and cons of the deal."Good morning, gentlemen," Erica stepped inside the meeting room. They both stood up from their seats and offered a wide grin. She returned the gesture with a plain smile and spoke."I am very glad to know about your decisions. Thanks for accepting my deal," she walked towards the table and extended her palm to them one by one.They shook her hand with her and then Arthur said "We are glad that you want to work with our companies, Ms. Hayes. We are honoured by your approach," She flashed him a p
"Ms. Hayes, they both are here," Erica's manager informed her which caused a slight grin to form on her face."Let them wait for a while. Tell them, I'll meet them within 10 minutes," she said. Her manager nodded and then left from her cabin.Erica grabbed her phone and called him."Hello, Adrian," "Hey, is everything alright?" He asked."Yeah…. they have already reached here," "Perfect. Don't rush things and make sure they sign those papers at any cost," he uttered. She hummed."Don't worry. I will do my best," she stated."Thanks. All the very best and be careful," "Okay…take care," "Bye," Erica hung up the call and then looked at her watch.Meanwhile in the meeting room, both Daniel and Arthur had reached, along with some other businessmen because Hayes Corporation had issued a proposal to a couple of enterprises and all of them accepted their proposal because Hayes Corporation had a tremendous reputation in the business world and was one of the most successful and powerful c
Melanie slowly opened her eyes and found herself wrapped in her love's arms. He was also asleep. She smiled by watching his alluringly handsome face. Indeed her husband had gotten a blessed beauty. Yeah.. she remembered getting jealous of his beauty but who thought one day that beauty would be hers because now he was her. Melanie pulled the duvet more and covered their tangled bodies. Last night, they both took a shower together and then prepared dinner together and ate it. After that, they watched a movie together and she didn't even remember when she passed out in his arms in the middle of the movie. She pecked his lips, gently and slowly whispered in his ear."I love you so much, my handsome hubby," She thought he was sleeping but that smile crept on his face after she said those words to him. Adrian slowly opened his eyes and looked into those celestial hazel orbs. He pecked her forehead and pulled her more in his warm embrace."I love my wifey the most," he uttered in his morn
