Do you have boyfriend

At exactly 8 am, Aria stood by the roadside just outside her apartment, prepared and waiting for the driver to pick her up. Michelle stood beside her, vowing that if the driver seemed suspicious or frightening, she wouldn’t allow her friend to get anywhere near the car.

A sleek black Rolls-Royce Wraith parked directly in front of them. Its tinted windows obscured whoever might be inside. Aria and Michelle exchanged questioning looks, unsure of what to expect.

Aria immediately considered stepping aside, assuming their presence might bother whoever owned the car. Michelle shared the same thought, prompting them to start moving away, tightly holding each other's hands.

However, someone swiftly emerged from the car, as though in a rush, causing them to halt abruptly. "Miss Booker?" he inquired.

Aria seemed momentarily lost, as if unsure whether she was indeed Miss Booker. Michelle nudged her arm, prompting a blink. "Uh, yes?" she responded, studying the man. He wore a sleek black suit with a white shirt underneath and a matching black tie. From head to toe, everything about him was black, even his shoes and the shades he wore. He exuded an air of discretion.

"Mr. Hunter sent me to fetch you," he stated, noticing her unease with his appearance.

A sigh escaped her lips; she'd been holding her breath. "Why do you look like someone from a kidnapping movie?" Michelle's voice interjected.

The man scrutinized Michelle before deciding to answer the question, all the while directing his gaze at Aria.

"I’m his bodyguard. I’ve been sent to get you. Can you hurry up and get into the car? Mr. Hunter doesn’t like being kept waiting,” he stated, more as a warning.

“Rude,” Michelle murmured under her breath.

As Aria gazed at him, she recalled seeing him the previous day walking behind Mr. Asher.

Turning to Michelle, she reassured her, “Okay, I’ve gotta go”

“Now, are you sure you will be safe? You don’t know him.”

“Well, not exactly, but he was beside Mr. Hunter yesterday,” she explained, smiling.

Michelle glared at him again. “If anything happens to her, I will break your bones,” she threatened.

He scoffed before moving to the other side to open the car door for Aria.

Aria sighed and entered the car, stealing one last glance at Michelle as the bodyguard drove off.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived outside the most luxurious building Aria had ever seen in her life. Though she had seen images of the Hunter's empire building in magazines, its real-life grandeur surpassed her expectations!

“What was that? A 50-story building?” Aria's mouth hung open in astonishment.

Thankfully, she noticed the bodyguard smiling slightly, prompting her to close her mouth promptly.

“This way,” he directed, leading her. They bypassed the reception area, heading straight to a side walkway that seemed distinct from the main building.

It led to an elevator. Using a card, the bodyguard opened it and gestured for her to enter. Within moments, they were already greeted by someone, presumably Hunter's secretary.

She smiled at the bodyguard, but her expression turned cold the moment she glanced at Aria.

“He is expecting you,” she stated.

The man nodded and held the door wide open for Aria to enter. It was clear their journey together had concluded.

Aria took a deep breath before cautiously stepping into the office. Dressed in a navy blue clean-cut suit with a partially unbuttoned white shirt and a tie that seemed perpetually adjusted, Mr. Hunter's meticulous attire caught her attention.

It was curious how she noticed these details with the most penetrating set of eyes fixed upon her. His gaze had locked onto her the moment she walked through the door, almost as if he anticipated her presence without diverting his eyes from the entrance.

As he stared at her intensely, Aria found herself frozen.

She couldn’t avert her gaze, nor could she summon the courage to step into the office. His eyes remained fixed on her as he emitted a cold laugh while adjusting his tie, seemingly attempting to loosen it further. A shiver ran down her spine as she observed his odd laughter; it didn’t reflect in his eyes. It resembled the laughter of a devil, foretelling imminent destruction.

“Miss Booker,” he uttered, almost with frustration, his gaze locked on her. Her red hair and grey eyes glimmered under the light, a striking combination that held his attention.

How can a human being look like that?

he pondered silently.

“Won’t you come and take a seat?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Uhmmm... Yeah,” she responded, her mind spinning.

Keeping her head down, she walked over to a chair and sat, followed by a thick silence. She was certain he was scrutinizing her while she kept her gaze lowered. Sensing his eyes probing her, a growing unease surged within her, but she remained composed.

“I didn’t expect you to dress this way to meet me,” he remarked, his words slightly irritating Aria.

She didn’t respond but lifted her head, gazing at him questioningly.

He shrugged, “Many would dress formally, presenting an appealing appearance. They try to sway me with their looks, unaware that it's their intellect that truly matters.”

The more he spoke, the more her anger simmered.

“Whatever do you mean, Mr. Hunter?” she retorted, her tone curt.

She wore a pair of baggy jeans and a fitted shirt—her preferred style, unless an occasion demanded otherwise. This didn’t feel like such an occasion.

He let out a subdued chuckle, genuinely amused this time. “Feisty. I didn’t notice that about you last time we met. Interesting,” he remarked, flashing another smile.

Finally, something diverted his attention from the excruciating heat of her presence and the urge to draw her close. She was just a mere human. He felt as though he was being punished—not only for finding his mate late but also discovering she was human. This was the ultimate test of patience. He knew he wouldn’t win, but he could try.

She seemed unfazed by his looks, neither scared nor swooning. Not yet, at least. Aria noticed the cold sweat on his forehead beginning to dry off, which only fueled her irritation.

“What exactly am I here for, Mr. Hunter?” she inquired. If there was no valid reason, she might as well leave.

It doesn’t seem like he would sponsor her project anyway.

Why waste her time.

He gazed at her, his expression shifting to a serious tone. “A couple of reasons, but first, do you have a boyfriend, Aria?”

Blinking three times, she chose not to dwell on the way he called her name , focusing instead on the absurdity of such a question.

He continued staring at her, feeling an unexpected surge of anger at something as trivial as this what he observed. Despite her scent—reminiscent of marshmallows and strawberries—there was another scent lingering, someone else's.

“Why would you—”

“Break up with him.”

    Aria observed him. She had surpassed the phase of extreme shock, now regarding him as though he were utterly foolish. She blinked, then repeated the motion."Excuse me?" Aria queried.Asher snorted, maintaining an unwavering gaze at her. His golden eyes appeared to blaze, momentarily losing their golden hue."You heard me," he stated, disregarding her incredulous expression, seemingly unconcerned by the inappropriateness of his remark.Despite numerous men seeking her attention, Aria was unattached. Yet, it felt entirely amiss for this man she'd just met to dictate her actions."I heard you, but what gives you the right to dictate that?" she asked, displaying slight irritation.He glanced at her, a smile forming at the corner of his lips.Her red hair gleamed in the light, her eyes sparkling, and her slender physique...Yet, despite her striking beauty, her body didn't align with his usual preferences.

    Helene squealed and jumped up and down, her feet noisily thumping on the ground below.“Shh, you're making a lot of noise,” Aria stated as she tried to stop Helene’s movements.“I don’t care. I’m so happy. Do you know what it means? I bet we’d be the best graduating students,” she said, squirming as she grabbed Aria’s arms. She was so excited.Aria didn’t know why she wasn’t as excited as her; she was supposed to be. She had put in so much effort that she had planned to celebrate if they succeeded. Now she was just looking at Helene and Scott with a tight expression. She just hoped that she wouldn’t have to see Asher all the time. It was just sponsorship; it didn’t really require him to keep showing off his face every time.“Calm down; it’s not over yet. He hasn’t signed anything yet; he could change his mind at any time, you know that,” she said, sounding like a pessimist.Helene’s smile faded, and she immediately slapped Aria’s arm.

    Aria almost ran to the restroom. Immediately she got there, she slammed the door and thankfully, she was the only one there.“Fuck,” she screamed.Why. Why, why!Why was he here? What did he want from her? And it wasn’t coincidence. It almost seemed like he just wanted to be everywhere she was. She thought she had dodged him but inviting them right to his club? She wouldn’t want to flatter herself, of course, but damn, it almost seemed like he was making desperate efforts to be close to her.What did he want from her?There was only one answer. And it was the fact that she thought he was a pervert. Maybe she wasn’t the first person he had agreed to sponsor with the motive of getting under their pants.“Shittttt.”Why didn’t she think of that earlier? Was that what he wanted with her?“I thought I was smart,” she muttered to herself.She really needed to tell him to fuck off even if it meant that he would take back his offer.

    Was she dead? Of course she wasn’t; she had moved a couple of times in her sleep, and he checked. She was still breathing. But why didn’t she wake up despite all the noise he made while getting ready to go to work? Some were even deliberate.Hunter couldn’t look away as he watched Aria all cuddled up under the blanket. Her shiny red hair was spread dreamily on the pillow, with some strands laying across her face. She looked like a baby; she was cuddled up in a ball that he wondered if she was still cold.He had covered her with another layer of blanket earlier, thinking she was cold, but she pushed it off her and went back to sleep, after muttering unintelligible words. He stared at her from the chair across the room in his bedroom, wondering to himself why he couldn’t bring himself to leave when he was fully aware that he was late for work. But he was the boss, wasn’t he?Moreover, he wasn’t going straight to work. He had that bastard who tried to lay his finger on his woman to

    If she was his girlfriend, she definitely wouldn’t smile as bright as she was smiling now. Aria took a breather, she wasn’t about to be massacred. His sister. Wow. There’s something about Asher that made it feel like having a family would make him look weird. He doesn’t fit to be a family man. “Uhm, it’s not what you think. I’m leaving right now” she said as her eyes began to roam around for her clothes. Now she wondered where they were. Lana, Asher’s sister seemed more intrigued by her as she laughed even deeper, whilst looking at Aria adoringly.They are different, she is free-spirited while Asher? Was he an abandoned kid? Did he want to be loved by his parents so much but they only cared about their daughter? Aria shook her head. That sounded absurd. Maybe he is just a sadist who is worried about the number of kills he’d have for the day and the number of womehe would kidnap.Lana looked from her brother to his mate, now she didn’t know if what she walked into was romance a

    It’s been over 24 hours since they left—Aria and his sister, Lana. They had left him alone to "cool off," as Lana had mentioned while driving Aria away. Oh, he did cool off, because now he felt the sudden urge to leave her alone. Fuck, he wished she had a wolf. He wouldn’t be the one being possessive and demanding; she would.He would let her be, he knew he would never know how to chase a lady. Even in his next life.So he decided to tame himself. He would.One must not live with their mate must they? He felt resolved and decided.Asher left the house that morning in a normal polo shirt and denim pants, his hair brushed messily to the sides of his face, his golden eyes flat. Because he was going to leave her alone didn’t mean he would let the person who harmed her live.His most trusted man, Ronny, a loyal beta, greeted him with a bow as he held the door open. "Everything is set, Alpha."Without a word, he got in. Daniel, another beta, seemed loyal until he proved otherwise. Unlike

    The two alphas faced off in the middle of the road, their eyes locked in a fierce stare. Alexander, his fur fluffed up in agitation, snarled and bared his teeth. Asher, his eyes gleaming with a calm intensity, didn't flinch.Without warning, Alexander charged, his massive body hurtling towards Asher with a deafening roar. But Asher didn't move. He simply raised a hand, and Alexander was suddenly halted in mid-air, as if an invisible force field had stopped him.Alexander struggled and snarled, but Asher's grip on him was unyielding. With a flick of his wrist, Asher sent Alexander flying across the clearing, the other alpha crashing into a tree with a loud thud.Alexander scrambled to his feet, his eyes blazing with fury, but Asher was already walking away, his back turned dismissively. "You're not worth my effort," Asher said, his voice low and even.Alexander's face contorted with rage, but he knew he was outmatched. Again.With a snarl, he turned and fled into the forest, his tail

    Early in the morning, the sun had not even risen yet when Aria's phone vibrated. She gave a grumbling sound as she rolled over and tried to go back to sleep. But that's not like Aria at all; the tiniest of sounds woke her entirely awake, especially at the early hours of the morning. After a few seconds of lying still, she sighed and picked up her phone. It was too bright, she squinted her eyes as she tapped on the new message on her screen. It was from her school; she had been offered something, but they didn't state what. She was to go to the senate office for more details. That was strange but not exactly out of place; she had been offered scholarships and also had the opportunity to work at particular industries when she was ready. This might be one of them, and whether she wanted it or not, she'd have to attend. She sighed; it was supposed to be her free day. She didn't do history. Rubbing her eyes, she got up lazily from the bed and went straight to the bathroom. Her sl

    She had a million questions she wanted to ask. But as the car pulled over at Asher’s mansion, she got almost all the answers. She thought he was taking her to dinner dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. Someone helped her open her side of the car immediately the car came to a stop. She walked behind him like a submissive little lamb until they got to the living room. She knew how his sitting room looked, so it was extremely shocking to see the sight that she was seeing. Ladies were there, not just ladies. A full dress stand was in there, with makeup artists and their makeup boxes. She saw a line of shoes in different colors and sizes. Aria literally gasped. Immediately they saw Asher enter, they all stood together and bowed their heads silently in greeting. “What I asked for, is it here yet?” he asked, totally ignoring their greetings. The woman he had his gaze on nodded furiously. “Yes.” She started to walk to the dress stand. “Here it is,” she said as she pulled out the most st

She found it interesting how her friend seemed like she wanted to curl into her own body.She was red, but she didn’t know if it was out of embarrassment or because of Asher’s presence…She felt his gaze land on her body; she could literally feel it.“Aria? You call your students with so much familiarity?” Aria’s breath hitched as she heard Asher say those words.Did he just scold their lecturer?She turned now to look at the sound of that. His face was passively aggressive, but he didn’t give himself away.He sounded so calm yet correcting.Mr. Hilton laughed awkwardly, “No, no.” His face was red with embarrassment.Of course, it was obvious that Asher was implying he should

    "Everything is going well so far," Helen mentioned as she sat beside Aria in school that day before the lecturer came into the class.Aria nodded at her with satisfaction. "You all are doing a great job," she said to them with a grateful expression.Scott smiled at her. "We all are. Although we rarely see you. These days, you just push your work to the group chat. Busy much?" he asked with a grin.Aria looked at both of them, their eyes full of suspicion and expectations for her to spill the beans.They had been indirectly asking her about the sudden internship, which apparently everyone now knew about.It was the hot topic in school."Yeah. I’m quite busy these days," she said as she pretended to be busy, picking her books out of her bag.It was the last class, and Aria wished she had sat where she would be less visible.Or better still, missed the class completely."With what?

    When the door to the boarding room opened, both Aria and Asher stood up to welcome their contracted partners.She watched the door that had been opened to them by the receptionist as they came in one by one.She counted until the last person entered. They were four of them.And looked at Asher then herself. They were only two.“Not the big man Hunter” a man dressed in an expensive looking suit and hair brushed back sleekly said.He was looking like he was averagely in his 20’s. But he looked a little bit older than Asher.She gathered that he was the boss since his clothes was more neat and expensive looking.Just like Asher’s.Also, it looked like they were acquaintances, judging from the way he entered with a broad smile.To her surprise, Asher returned the smile, as wide as the man had.“No wonder. So it’s you Nate!” Asher said with excitement. Aria didn’t sure if she was seeing things. She swallowed as she looked between them.The remaining people that followed the boss, who was

    A call came to Aria's desk at 4:00 p.m. The loud ring made her jump. She wasn't yet used to the telephone and wondered who had set the volume so high. Also, she wondered why firms still used telephones; she understood the reason but didn't like the idea. It was too old-fashioned.She hissed as she picked up the phone and pressed it to her ear. "Hello, Aria Booker speaking. How can I help you?" she said after clearing her throat. She hadn't spoken since Asher left her room, and she hadn't moved an inch."The reception table. Is Mr. Asher free? He has important guests who would love to hold a meeting with him," the person on the other end said.Huh? An impromptu meeting? And at this time of the day?She almost groaned, she was tired. She had come to the ‘internship’ immediately after school.She hated having people at her house without calling first; now this? She instinctively searched through the schedule. Did she miss the meeting? Who were they?"Name?" she inquired, grabbing h

    As she ran into her office, she leaned against the door. Her heart was beating way too loudly; it was thudding in her head more than she could bear.What was that she saw? She remembered that lady. She remembered her clearly from the first day she had been in Asher's office. The lady had walked in with a domineering attitude, making Aria literally run from the office. But she hadn't seen her again and didn't even know her name, so she totally forgot about her.So they were together? So Asher Hunter really had a girlfriend; he wasn't single. Yet, he kept hovering over her, trying to control her life. He was a cheat! And she almost fell for his scheme.Aria shut her eyes again as the image of the lady kneeling in front of Asher, his cock in her mouth, appeared in her head. She shook her head several times. "No, no. Please stop," she told herself, walking to her desk and sitting hard into her chair.That was hard because the image kept playing in her head. Shock gave way to pure

    It was as if her feet were held in place. She couldn’t move, she couldn’t say anything. Her lips were still parted in shock. And she heard Asher say, “Red.” She finally came out of her trance. She blinked.At the same time, the girl who had been sloppily swallowing him whole looked up at him; it seemed she realized he wasn’t looking at her, his attention seemingly glued to the door.His depth slipped out of her mouth with her saliva slowly slipping down his dick. She turned to the door. She almost screamed when she saw Aria looking at Asher with deep eyes and Asher doing the same.“Who the fuck are you?” she yelled as she stood up. Her eyes were red from gagging, her lips swollen and shiny. The saliva was everywhere on her face… she was really doing her job well, wasn’t she?“What the fuck are you looking at? Get out of here!” the lady screamed at the top of her voice. Aria was brought back to reality at the sound of the girl’s sharp voice boring into her ear. She trembled and a

    “The alpha’s turn out?” Alex asked with a flinch.Aria frowned. “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the place? It’s okay if you can’t go; we’ll just get a cab.”She didn’t miss the way his eyes shifted from worry to contemplation. She really didn’t want him to think he couldn’t say no.“No, it’s not that. I’m just surprised. You work there?” he asked her with amusement.She didn’t even try to hide it. “Why? Is the place bad? Do they kill people and hide their bodies?” she asked jokingly.It was an obvious joke, but the fact that he didn’t smile and seemed deep in thought wiped away the smile on her face. Worry crept in. “Hey, should we be worried?” she said with a serious expression.Alex burst into laughter, and Aria slapped his arm when she realized he was teasing her.“You watch too many movies, don’t you?” he asked, laughing even harder.“It’s not my fault that I read your expression. You had me worried.”“Well, for what it’s worth, Asher is not a killer. I know him; w
