Beneath the Facade

As his voice faded, I left the wall, retreating back to the restaurant. My eyes fluttered, hoping he didn't see me. Mistakenly bumping into someone, I was stunned. With a simple apology, I stood at the restaurant front, gently awaiting his return from his call. After a few minutes, my eyes caught his approaching figure as I stood up, dusting my clothes. The closer he got, the more uneasy I felt, his last sentence echoing in my mind. "What are you doing out here?" he asked. "Just wanted some air. Can we go back to the mansion? I need to rest," I uttered. He hesitated before giving a nod. Alexander Knightbridge walked out after him, ending some discussions with Sebastian. As he then approached me, his presence made my legs instinctively step back slowly. "Can't wait to have you at my office tomorrow, hmmm, Mrs..." "Scarlet," I uttered sharply. He gave a slight chuckle, extending his hand for a handshake. My thoughts paused before I stretched back my hand, shaking his. His soft gr

The Revenge Plan

I checked out the file's details and found that he had been selected by his party to lead the project if given. My mind was filled with confusion and anger – I didn't want anything to do with him after he betrayed me. I wanted him to pay for what he had done.I remembered Alexander's words about being in charge of supervising the project and ensuring its success. I decided to use this power to make Aiden's life a living hell while secretly ensuring the project's success for Kensington Global Innovation. With a sly smile, I began planning my strategy.I would set impossible deadlines, assign the most challenging tasks to Aiden's team, and constantly scrutinize their work. I would make sure they felt the pressure of my presence at every turn.I pushed the other parties' files aside without a second glance. I did some research on Aiden's party using the laptop on my desk, gathering every piece of information I needed. After a while, I sighed and leaned back in my chair, taking a break.

Consumed by Ambition

Alexander’s POVThe office grew silent, the night’s emptiness echoing around me as I slowly stood up from my desk. I left and entered my car, driving home. But what was the rush? Who was I expecting, anyway?I slowly opened my door, entering my mansion as I sat down, placing a bottle of whiskey in front of me. It was all about getting drunk now.I wanted it all—the power, the money, the influence—but what did I get? Sebastian had it all.I hated him. He had everything I desired, and now, only to find out he’s married? How could his life be so perfect while mine drowns in misery? And what did I have? Eva?She was just a mere stepping stone I saw for receiving her father’s help. I needed her to further my growth, but she proved useless in recent times and now she speaks of love? Really? Love?I cradled my hands, recalling her warm touch... Scarlet. Oh, my. Her eyes seemed to draw me close. I was quite shocked to learn that Sebastian had married. I mean, he had lived a lonely life and alw

Two weeks later...Scarlet's POVA knock echoed on my door, resonating in my ears. "Come in," I uttered. It was Emily, slowly walking in."Mam, the party group has arrived...." she informed.Finally. After a week and a half of finalizing the deal with Nova Solutions, Aiden's party, the meeting for the project discussion was scheduled for today.

I said."Alright, Mam...."As Emily left my office, I gathered up some files of my research on the AI project needed for the meeting. As I braced myself, I knew it was the start of the first phase of my plan.I was sure Aiden must be so excited right now, but when he sees my face, that smile and excitement would wipe off within an instant.

Tensions Rise

Mehn....it just kept me craving if he just wanted me to please him, though there are many other girls out there. I mean, he is famous, handsome, and extremely wealthy. All girls would be throwing themselves at him in an instant, but he chose to sign the deal with me. But yeah, I am just overthinking this too much now.I am here right now, all under his power, but I don't plan on staying under his power for long. I aim for better, but first, I need to get my revenge plan rolling as planned. I shouldn't get distracted from that.I caught Aiden's glance as he retreated his eyes immediately; I returned a glance.

The Silent Warning

Sebastian's POVGetting out of my car, I slowly walked toward the door, which creaked slightly as I entered. Raising my gaze, my eyes caught sight of Nikolai. What was that fool doing here?My eyes darted to Scarlet, who was standing nearby. If I was sure of anything, it was that they were engaging in a conversation.I hoped this fool hadn't..."What are you doing here, Nikolai?" I questioned aloud."Oh, you're here, Mr. Hawthorne. Well, I'm just here to give you some updates..." Nikolai replied."Let's talk outside..." I said, inviting him out of my mansion.I could sense Scarlet's curious stare. I wouldn't want her getting a whiff of my dealings. I had always told Nikolai and anyone else I worked with not to bring business home.I mean, what if he were seen on the way to my mansion by one of the media hounds craving the next top story? Now they would see a chance, assuming I was getting paid by a wanted mafia lord.I retracted my glance after Nikolai was out, as I also left the mans

A Dark Turn

My eyes slowly blinked as everything around me started spinning. I felt a hand on my shoulders, presumably to steady me as I almost fell from the loss of blood. Sebastian led me out of the party, leaving Tristan behind, though I could feel the anger radiating from Sebastian's eyes.He gently helped me into the car, leaving the party, and drove me back to the mansion. He laid me on the bed, his hands rushing for the first aid kit. His behavior felt unusual; it was a strange mix of gentle and firm. He grabbed my wrist, applying medication to stop the bleeding. My eyes flickered open and closed, the pain gradually subsiding.His presence always exuded a dangerous aura that made me uneasy and scared around him. But his caring act tonight felt overwhelming, and I couldn't quite get used to it. He had never been this caring, and he often reminded me that this was just an arrangement. Yet, his actions seemed to contradict his words."Are you doing alright, or should I call the doctor?" he as

Blood on My Hands

Alexander's POVAs my eyes set on Sebastian leaving with Scarlet in his grip, wounded as they left the party, my eyes caught Tristan lying there in an unconscious state. That fool... how dare he?The party came to an end as the guests made their way out, bidding a gentle farewell. Furious, I left as well, driving off to the bar instead of my mansion.I needed to suppress the burning rage within me...I would surely teach Tristan a lesson. I hoped Scarlet was okay...I grabbed my phone, deciding to call her and let her know she should rest. I needed to let her know I care...But that fool would surely pay... he would pay for laying a finger on her, and I would see to it."Sir, your wine..." the bartender said, pouring the alcohol into a bottle as I downed it immediately."Pour me another..." I uttered, downing it as well.The lights were spinning as my legs began stumbling. I tried to steady my movements while taking another glass and downing it too.The night was approaching midnight,

Unraveling Secrets

Scarlet POVI sat down, unable to grasp what Emily had just informed me of. But how? Who could have had him killed? I admitted I wanted him to pay for what he did to me last night, but not by wanting him dead...But it can't be Sebastian, right? Those eyes and his weird act—I could feel the anger that was radiating from him. And precisely, I heard him calling for someone's death before, and the strangers, and all...But I can't just come to the conclusion that it is him. I mean, he couldn't have... But come to think of it, he wasn't at the mansion when I woke up. I never really knew where he disappeared at times. I'm pretty sure it wasn't work....A silent pain echoed in my head, giving me a headache. I let out a sigh, trying to relax myself and calm down my nerves. I knew Sebastian was dangerous, but he couldn't have killed Tristan, right?Gosh... But who would have, then? I mean, it could be anybody, supposing he had an enemy or so, but why die after the incident at the party...?As
