Chapter-1

Zavier's POV:

He cursed as he dialed a number, He waited silently for few more seconds till the call got answered. He said on the phone, "I thought you were dead for a second.... good to know you still breathe, Ares..."

Ares said to him, "I don't that spare time for you..... But, nice to know you are back in the capital..... Make yourself home...." the call ended.

Zavier whispered, "Son of a bitch.... Shame in name of a friend..." Zavier said to his other employ, "Carry the luggage..."

Zavier walked in the palace, he thought Ares's offered him to stay at their palace, so he would be here. But looks like he already left the empire.

Zavier fixed his leather jacket walking in, he only agreed because, he knew Mr. and Mrs. Morris might be out of the country, and no one was home just their youngest son Aiken.

His hand moved through his perfectly styled dark hairs, and brown eyes, he folded his shirt walking in. He looked more than excited actually, but the real injustice was hiding his toned muscles in that darn black shirt. He flipped his phone walking in like he had no care of the world, but his eyes spoke different he was more than serious more serious than ever.

He remembers Ares's voice from the last call, "AND... YEA... Keep eye on Aiken... I can't leave him all alone when no one is there..." Zavier didn't understood, where Ares went, but he will surely find out, when he is mood of course.

Zavier Fiore, Only son Greg Fiore, dear friend and employ of Mr. Seth Morris was quite familiar with this palace. He remember part of his childhood in this house.

In fact, he was good friends with Ares Morris, the elder son of the family even thought of Zavier being older than him. Zavier didn't mind having a good friend.

Silas, his worker for few months rushed in carrying the luggage. He said, "Mr. Fiore... this place is huge... but we can rent a place other than this right?... it looks awkward to walk in .... In Master Morris's property...."

Zavier smirked saying, "Don't worry.... Aunty Vanessa won't mind...." Silas asked, "What.... You.. You call Madam Aunty?"

Zavier did thought about renting a place for few months, till he get use to the city again, after long 6 years staying away. But he did failed to make arrangement on short notice.

And his Father, Greg?...

Well he would explain, his Dad is too energetic and has a colorful life style to be stayed. In fact Zavier hated his father's lifestyle, a damn playboy!!

Zavier likes some decent things in life, even thought being part of dark side of the world, he likes a private life.

Zavier noticed a young Man walking to him, they shared a friendly hand sake, the good looking handsome man with brown hairs said, "Finally!.... Brother did informed me about you coming...."

Zavier compliment, "You grew up, Young Master Aiken.... quite well..."

Aiken said scratching his head, "Don't make fun of me by calling me that... just Aiken for my people..."

Zavier smirked saying, "Such a kid.... finally I can share a drink with you......"

Aiken said, "not today though..... The maids will show you the room... I have somewhere to be...."

Zavier nod, Aiken walked away saying, "Make yourself home."

Zavier walked in pulling his glasses off, Silas asked, "Who was he?"

Zavier said, "That's Aiken Morris.... Remember to call him Young Master...."

Zavier said, "And.... get down to look at the office progress.... I am sure, there is a lot to do...."

Next morning,

Zavier sat on the sofa having his coffee, he was wearing some lose pants and t-shirt, a complete opposite of what he would be seen in normally. He messed his hair as he asked, "Silas..... what's plan for today...." the mansion was quite empty, he knew Mr. and Mrs. Morris were out for some business, Master Morris developed a tendency to take his dear wife with him when his kids became adult.... And He let his kids have the mansion to themselves, and shifted his permanent residence to somewhere else, he wanted them to have some privacy.

Silas said, "The office renovation looks promising right now... and..."

Silas stopped when he heard footsteps, he realized Zavier was looking at the main door as the figure walked in.

The guards behind her passed her luggage to the maids. They all bowed her as they rushed in to please her, and help her even when she walked in empty handed and effortlessly.

Her sun kissed face and sharp eyes stopped at Zavier, she was quite shocked to see him here, while Zavier didn't had a pleasing expression.

They surely didn't wanted to see each other.

The beautiful elegant women took few steps in observing the men in her house, even thought she was back for her summer vacation, giving her education a break she didn't waste a minute to show her presence.

She removed her sunglasses looking straight while he just got views of those eyes again. She was the reason he didn't wanted to step in this place, and agreed because he knew she only come back for vacation, but now her deep eyes were drowning her.

She would rather die than coming back to her house when this person was hoarding here. Her ice cold expression told her mind.

She stood there looking at him unknowing of her own gaze and hate dripping down those eyes.

He just sat there, filling his eyes with her view. It took them 6 years to finally meet in person. He made sure never return while she was on her vacation to home, while seemed like she did the same.

This time faith played it's game too well.

She said to the maid, "Stop acting like this house belongs to you..... This house seemed to filled with snakes...." The maid looked down in fear, but her words did hit the right target.

Zavier kept his eyes on her as if he didn't knew what else to do. But his jaw tightened on the taunt she passed, She walked away with fast angry steps.

Silas said, "Who is she?!!!... so rude!.... Does she work here for something?!!!.... Spitting fire for no reason...."

Zavier said, "Lavina Morris, Master Morris's daughter....."

Silas's face went pale realized his reaction, it could cost him everything if she heard it. Zavier looked at phone again like nothing happened, but more angry this time.

Silas asked, "Isn't she adopted?"

Zavier shot a glare at Silas as he said, "Mention that in front of her and see what comes first.... pain or death..." Zavier walked away ignoring everything.
