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
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
"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
In a dimly lit room, a man with an emotionless face stood beside a wretched lady, her hands chained on the bed. Blood oozed from her wounded wrists."Why must I abort this child?" the lady inquired with a perplexed look, her voice filled with despair. " For Christ sake, it is your own flesh and blood, Aiden."Aiden sneered at her words, his voice dripping with disdain. "Ain't you shameless to utter such shameless words from a murderer like you. That thing inside you has transformed into a human, and I want it gone within twenty-four hours. You took away the love of my life, and now you want to tie me down with your pregnancy, huh, dream on."Tears streamed down the lady's face as she felt helpless. ".Please, even if you hate me, save our child, Please."But Aiden's coldness remained unyielding. "That thing can never be mine. You're a murderer, and murderers don't deserve to carry my child. I'm sending you to the hospital, and you will abort it. Let it go and join my love. Was she rea
Aiden's intense gaze locked onto the doctor, refusing to waver. The doctor, overwhelmed with regret for his ill-chosen words, simply yearned for the opportunity to escape this man's presence. After all, he was only carrying out his duties. But why did this man stare at him with such piercing intensity, as if he had uttered the gravest of secrets?With his hands still tucked into his pockets, Aiden moved slowly towards the doctor, causing his legs to tremble uncontrollably with each step. The pounding in the doctor's chest felt like the prick of a needle, threatening to pierce his heart at any moment."M... Mr... Aiden," the doctor stuttered, attempting to form words, but before he could finish his sentence, Aiden's grip tightened around his neck."How much did she bribe you?" Aiden demanded, his fingers constricting around the doctor's throat."Cough, cough... She didn't bribe me," the doctor managed to gasp, his words strained and his eyes bulging.Just then, Emine's weak and trembli
"Indeed? Let's hope you survive. We can discuss that later. But for now, you don't deserve to inhabit the same world as decent human beings, Emine. Send my regards to Nora and tell her how dearly I miss her," Aiden smirked, before coldly exiting the ward.Unbeknownst to anyone, a sigh of relief escaped him as he reached the door.Emine had already slipped into unconsciousness, still trapped in agonizing pain.................After regaining consciousness, Emine found herself in an unfamiliar room filled with strange equipment. She instinctively checked her stomach and discovered it was sealed, leaving her bewildered."Where am I?" she murmured, fear creeping into her voice. All she could remember was, she fell unconscious at the cemetery because she was afraid of the chilled wind that blew around her . But how did she end up being here?Suddenly, the door swung open, revealing a man in a white lab coat. His voice was reassuring as he greeted her, "Finally, you're awake."Anxious and
"Keep hiding, Emine. No matter what, I will hunt you down, and you will face the consequences of your actions," he sneered, relishing the thought of the chase."Keep digging deeper. Inform Ella to bring me a cup of coffee," Aiden commanded as his secretary exited the room.Shortly after, a knock interrupted his solitude."Come in," Aiden granted permission."Boss, here's your coffee," the secretary announced, placing the glass on his desk."Wait, stay," Aiden uttered just two words, but his secretary understood his preference. Conversations were not his strong suit, leaving her to wonder if he had someone special in his life.Aiden picked the coffee as he was still glancing through the documents, he took a sip and spit it out. Her secretary heard her boss angry voice, snapping her back to reality."You imbecile! Did you not check the coffee's temperature? Do you want to scald my mouth?" Aiden's roar echoed through the office, startling his coworkers outside."I am sorry boss. But last
...At Emine's Office......In a separate office space, an exquisite lady graced her surroundings, her countenance radiating an air of seriousness. Beside her, her loyal secretary stood patiently, awaiting her every command."Mildred, why did Mr. James suddenly alter his stance?" she inquired, her curiosity piqued."My sincere apologies, madam. It was my fault. When I sent the file to him, he attempted to harass me, but I adamantly refused. He threatened not to sign the documents in retaliation." Mildred recounted the incident to her employer."Oh, how audacious of Mr. James to harass my secretary. You acted admirably. I refuse to stoop to the level of a scoundrel. You may leave," she waved her hand impatiently. As her secretary exited the office, she picked up her phone and dialed a wrong number."I want you to sever the right hand of Mr. James Cook, the CEO of James Company. Make sure it is accomplished by tomorrow," she ordered, her voice cold and detached."Yes, queen," the strange
