I am sorry for the late update. Too busy this week. Almost pass out every day :D
Aria took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She had to calm down and put on her sweetest smile even though right now she felt like she would faint.She needs the money for Grandma. If she wanted Grandma to get better, she had to fight.Feeling a little bit relaxed, Aria opened her eyes and immediately screamed in shock when her eyes met with someone, looking at her from behind the curtains.“Laura! You scared me!” Aria patted her chest out of shock. Laura immediately felt bad and apologized to her."I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." She went inside, her lips pouted as she didn’t mean to make her even paler than she already was.“Are you ready for today?” Laura asked her and Aria nodded slowly. “It's going to be a long and rough night today, lots of guests coming and we'll probably be done by four in the morning.” She continued."Okay, I'm ready." She sighed once again. Lots of guests meant lots of people would buy drinks and she would also get lots of tips. But that also mea
"He didn’t pick up his phone.” Kiel impatiently checked the screen on his phone. Alexander didn’t pick up his call now and something is urgent. Young Master was checking several factories on a remote island owned by the Grissham family and at the same time executed some 'rats' there. It most likely the Young Master was taking those ‘rats’ by his own hands. Now he was trying to contact the only heir of the Grissham family, but it didn’t work. And he had to think on his own how to protect a young girl that already attracted the attention of Alexander Grissham. Yes, you read that right. Alexander Grissham took interest in a young girl. An Alexander who despised every living thing on this planet including his own father and family, got closer to a young, innocent girl, these couple of months At first, Kiel thought that Alexander only lost his mind a little when he was shot that night, since he even asked the girl to help him. If it was the usual Alexander, he would shoot the girl rig
Aria arrived in front of VIP room number 5L, just as Laura had told her. "Okay, let's do this." Aria breathe in the air as much as possible. She would knock on the door four times, go inside, put these bottle on the table, and leave. She was determined not to care about what would happen in there later. All she knew was that she only delivered drinks, nothing more. Aria closed her eyes and knocked four times on the door. After waiting for two seconds Aria turned the knob, opened the door which was quite heavy. She was already prepared her eyes on what had happened in this room, as she expected something that would make her uncomfortable would be there. She thought she would hear drunk people yelling, laughing, or very loud music from inside. Apparently, it's not what she hears or sees. She heard low music and saw a bright room. Aria almost thought that there was no one in here and she had entered the wrong room. But then, she looked around, there was someone sitting on a long, re
“Open the fucking Door!”“Y-yes! Young master!” The club manager, with shaking hands, tried to open the door to the VIP room number 5L. Its was actually unlocked, but becoming even more difficult due to his nervousness.It was reasonable for him to feel scared to death right now because his life was at the end of the gun that attached to the back of his head.Alexander, who couldn't wait, looked at the him with a murderous gaze. What was this fool thinking? Didn't he know who Aria is to him?He couldn't hear any sound from inside and this worried him.Worry? He frowned, since when did he have that feeling again?With lightning speed, he lifted his foot and kicked open the heavy door while the manager's hand was still there. The manager slammed harshly onto the floor. He groaned but didn’t get to say anything when Alexander’s men quickly grabbed him and dragged him to the corner.The sight inside was something Alex never wanted to see again in his life.Aria was lying on the floor, pal
The Bloom Garden was absolutely breathtaking. Every flower in this place blooms beautifully and is planted neatly according to its colors. They were just like colorful blankets on the ground. Aria's small smile appeared on her face as she looked around.This was the first time she visited this place and everything around her was enough to amaze her and make her forget for a moment what had happened today.“I've heard about this flower garden since they talked so much about it. But I've never been here.” Aria said while exhaling a long breath. She breathed in the fresh air again and closed her eyes while enjoying the cool dew drops falling on her skin.It's already nine o'clock in the morning. The sun was bright and shining, but in highland areas like Blooms Garden, dew will still fall in the heat of the day. This area was famous for its chill air and fertile plants.They were in the highlands area of this province and the journey to get here takes two hours from the city center. Alexa
But, will it hurt her even more when she finds out who he is? when she found out what he did for a living? She lives in a different world than him. She was the light and he was the darkness.But he wants her. Only her. No one else. The more he looked at her, the more he heard her voice, and the more obsessed he was with her.She spoke to him so excitedly, so innocently, while he arranged this wicked trap to cage her forever."You need more money, that's why you work in that club." Alex stated it as a matter of fact.Aria smiled embarrassingly and nodded. She looked down at her feet and realized that the little white and red stones on the paved way were placed neatly in the shape of a flower."My Grandma is sick, I need more money for her medical bills." She answered truthfully. “It's a lot you know. But I will make it out, my Grandma is all I have. I'll find the way…” She whispered more to herself.Alexander hated it. He hated it when she was actually tired and in pain but she still a
Alexander drank a lot tonight but he walked with steady steps towards the room where he could find him. His alcohol tolerance is quite high so he could walk down the stairs easily.His room is on the second floor. He didn’t want to live on the same floor as him.He stopped right in front of the bedroom door and closed his eyes for a moment. Preparing himself so that his anger wouldn't immediately explode when he looked at his face.Without knocking on the door Alex turned the knob and opened it with one swift motion. Women's screams of shock could be heard when he opened the door without warning.He did it on purpose.“Alex! What the fuck are you doing?!”Oh, of course, Alex knew what was going on in this room. That old fuck was fucking a bunch of whores but he didn't give a shit about it.Alex looked at him with a cold expression. Hansly Grissham was busy putting on his trousers and shirt as he calmed down the ladies. The two naked women hide themselves behind the blanket, looking at
Alexander took a long drag on his cigarette before he stomped it with his feet on the ground. His back leaned on his car as he looked around, waiting for whether he got inside or he got back into his car and drove away to meet Aria. He exhaled the smoke from his nose and mouth and decided to take care of this matter first, then he could spend time with Aria longer later.He then walked into the empty warehouse which he had specifically set aside for a certain purpose.The sound of Alex's shoes echoed throughout the brick building. He walked casually, with both hands in his pockets.It had been several weeks since he had last been here. It wasn't because he hadn't detained anyone here since then, but because he still had business outside the city. Bargaining with foreign investors took quite a long time and made him almost bored. Not to mention the problems with the White Tiger gang, made him stay longer to take care of them first.The smell of dampness and moss in this place makes the
Hi! Whalien52 is here! First of all, I want to convey my biggest gratitude to all of you my dear readers. Thank you so much, for reading this book until the end, even though it took so long for me to finally finish it. And I am sorry. I know some of you are upset because I suddenly disappeared and took a long time to finish this book. But let me tell you, I was upset with myself too. Not a single day I felt fail and anxious that I didn't finish this as quickly as possible. But being an author part-time and doing other jobs at the same time made me almost not sleep a single wink in a day. But here we are, finally at the end of this book :) Once again thank you so much! Writing is my world and no matter how busy I am, I will always write stories from my unlimited imagination and a beautiful world hidden inside my head :D (I am working hard to finish my other book and write new ones now, so, stay tuned!)Guys, please be happy, healthy, and safe out there. See you at my other books! By
“Himaa!!!” Saoirse screamed in excitement when she saw her beloved pet sitting casually under the stairs.“Himaa!! I miss you, Mommy and Daddy said you could come with us wherever we go now!.” She hugged the big cat's neck tightly.Aria's attention was now diverted to her daughter who was hugging a large, white-striped tiger, that sat lazily on the floor. Saoirse looked so small compared to her pet.Alex found the tiger roaming alone in the forest just behind the mansion when she was only as size as a regular cat. Baby Hima was lost and parted from her family. Turned out that her mother died from a gunshot wound. Alex guessed that they were running from illegal hunters and ended up on his property.He took her home and immediately became the star of their attention. After just hours Alex brought her home, and Aria gave birth to Saoirse.Noah named her Hima, and she became more like a sister to them than a pet. Saoirse often did her makeup and put some cute ribbon on her, and Hima woul
“Why don’t we go back to the mansion and live there? We can play with Nana and I miss Hima...”A five-year-old girl, with chubby, blushing cheeks, said with a pout while folding her arms across her chest. Her eyes were squinted because of the glare of the hot sun shining on the seawater, her small red lips pouted making her even more adorable. Her older brother, who was five years older than her, pinched her cheeks.“Don’t you like the beach?” He asked his little sis who suddenly sat down beside him after playing sandcastle not far from the sunbed where her big brother was.“Hmp! I like it! But I miss Nana and Hima…” She started to sound like she was about to cry. Her brother tried to comfort him, even though it was the hardest thing for him to do because Noah wasn’t an expressive person, just like his father.“Saoirse, you know Nana is very old and it is impossible for her to travel far.” He said softly while stroking his sister’s long, soft hair, “How about I tell Mom to bring Hima
When they reached the third floor of the building, the first thing Aria saw was a hallway with purplish lighting that seemed to be dimmed. This floor was much quieter although she could still hear the sound of music from the rooms that lined each side of the hallway.She and Alex entered one of the rooms. Inside, Aria was thankful that the music wasn't deafening. Instead, it was just the soft strains of the instruments that made her quite relieved.The room was bright and quite spacious. Soft velvet sofas surrounded the sides of the room and teak tables were in front of them. From the design, this was clearly for special guests because all the furniture was luxurious and expensive.“Master Grissham! My Lady!”A man with a beautiful woman quickly stood up and bowed to them. Aria rolled her eyes when she saw how messed up the woman’s dress was. She could almost see her nipples behind that dress. It seemed that they just did naughty things before she and Alex came in.Aria looked at Alex
Alexander wrapped his hands around his wife's waist and gently rubbed her. He sat her down on his lap, facing him, with both of her legs beside his. He licked and sucked her lips, domineering her in this kiss. Telling her how much he wanted her now.Aria, being so little in his arms, felt breathless. She tried to push him away but she was nothing compared to his strength.“Alex…hmmpph!” Aria hit his chest lightly, telling the big, burly man to let go, she couldn’t breathe anymore.When Alex finally parted their lips, he didn’t completely let her go. His lips moved to her chin and neck, kissing her soft skin, repeatedly squeezing her buttocks gently, caressing every inch of her he could reach.“Hh.. Alex… not here…” Aria held back his naughty muscular hand, but her husband’s strength was beyond her control.Alex seemed not to hear her, he remained like a hungry beast. When his hand had reached the inside of her thighs and was stroking what was between them, Aria firmly pushed his hand
“I thought he was just…sick…” Aria whispered to her husband beside her. They had now arrived at a mental hospital in the city. Aria stared at the man sitting across them with frown eyebrows. He seemed to be sorting and checking imaginary documents in front of him.“Hmm… this is okay, it could be our project for next year…” He muttered seriously, opening the invisible pages in his hands.“This is also good, but it needs improvement. I also need to know how much the budget is…” He continued, still with a serious expression.Giovanni sat like he was working like usual, wearing a patient's uniform and a pair of toy glasses that a nurse had given him. He asked her for a pair of glasses and said he couldn't work without them.Apparently, Giovanni thought the nurse was his personal assistant.“Sir, Madam, he is not communicative. He will continue to be like this until it is his time to sleep,” said a nurse who accompanied them in the visiting room.Aria looks at Giovanni Wellbert, the former
Aria, Alexander, and Grandma sat at the dining table in the main dining room of the Grissham Mansion. Even though there were only the three of them, but the room was full of warmth. Alex's cold and intimidating aura was defeated by the warmth that Aria brought to the house. He is a man with an intimidating aura, his tall figure, and bulky, tatted body could make anyone scared. But when it comes to his wife, he could only obey her.Like right now. He had to be home in time because Aria had already cooked for dinner.Alexander certainly didn't want to miss out on his wife's cooking.“Here, eat it, I planted it, especially for your herbal medicine.” Grandma took a single, green leaf from a bowl that Aria had noticed since earlier. She was confused earlier because she didn’t cook that one. Aria immediately frowned when she recognized it.“Grandma….” She immediately complained.“It’s been boiled and given a little spice, it won’t be too bitter.”Aria doubted which papaya leaves were not bi
With his head leaning on the couch, Alexander stared at the high ceiling. In his mind, he saw his mother's sunken face, she looked exhausted and weak. Even though on her body there were no more bruises and wounds like back then, but her weak and sad gaze made him worried. She was sick. And he had to take her away from there.He took a deep breath before continuing, “Those missions, all my work facing the dangerous and tricky situation made me stronger. One day I completed a dangerous mission and the reward was a big deal. After almost seven years I became a slave for my father and tried to get the old Grissham's recognition so that they would treat me and my mother well. I finally gave up. I returned with victory and hoped that my mother and I could go far away from that hell. Starting a new life, a normal one….”But Aria could already guess that what Alex had planned at that time did not go as expected. And she was hardly ready to hear the rest.“I came home after almost three weeks
This time, Aria was silent and Alexander was the one who spoke. Although sometimes there was a pause for a few seconds, Aria patiently waited for her husband to tell the story of his past and family. She understood that Alexander was not as fluent as she was when telling a story. It's just the way he is, Aria thought. Because Alex was a man with a few words and now tried to tell and explain to her about the wounds that he actually wanted to keep hidden forever.They were still in the VVIP room in the hospital. Aria had changed her clothes, she was wearing a short, peach skirt and a simple oversized shirt with the same color as her white shoes. She liked her outfit today and people wouldn't believe her if she said that Alex was the one who chose it for her.Meanwhile, her husband was wearing his signature black t-shirt and trousers. She sat sideways on Alex's thighs, and his husband's hand kept stroking hers. He looked troubled in the first minutes. He opened his mouth but then closed
