Iris Astor, the heiress to multi-billionaire Company is the epitome of confidence and determination. She knows what she wants, and she's not afraid to go after it.
Adrain Russo, the king of Business World is neither a hero nor a villain, but a Comp...
My head feels like it's about to explode. The constant murmuring isn't helping at all, it's just making the throbbing worse. Looking back, I really shouldn't have pushed myself to come to this party.
My attention keeps slipping. Adam is speaking, but I find myself drifting off and barely registering what he's saying. It's become a recurring issue lately. This zoning out actually helps me cope with the pain a bit.
Lost in thoughts, I absentmindedly swirled the whiskey in my glass. A jolt shot through me as I saw him walk in. My blood pressure spiked, and I clenched my jaw to control the urge to punch him.
Henry Astor walked in like he owns the place.
Big Fucking Mistake.
Henry may believe he can play and win, but I intend to make him regret this. He won't just fall; he'll be utterly destroyed in the process, and I'll will emerge victorious.
Wait, Henry's here? Maybe Iris is here too!
My gaze swept the room, landing on Henry for a fleeting moment. But she was nowhere to be seen.
Disappointment crashed down on me like a wave, leaving a hollowness in my stomach and a dull ache in my heart.
God, I need her. I need her like I need air.
The whiskey burned a familiar path down my throat, a poor attempt to numb the turmoil within. My mind felt like a battlefield, thoughts and emotions clashing with deafening noise.
My head pounded. I stormed out of the hall and into the garden, desperate for fresh air. A cigarette, an unusual habit of mine, seemed the only way to clear my mind. But as I stood there, inhaling, I heard voices.
Two voices... Familiar ones.... Henry Astor and Sebastian Allen: CEO and owner of Allen Group.
Hmm. Interesting.
The thought of encountering Henry filled me with dread. I couldn't imagine how I would react. Just as I was about to make my escape, the unmistakable sound of Henry's voice halted me in my tracks.
"She won't agree, Henry", Sebastian said flatly.
"She will, Sebastian", Henry said confidently. "Not maybe, not eventually, but definitely. She listen to me. After all, I'm her father", He added with a chuckle.
"I don't think she'll agree to this marriage", Sebastian doubted.
Marriage? What the fuck.
I hope this isn't what I think, because if it is, I'll become a force to be reckoned with. Henry will regret it most of all, and I won't hold back in destroying him.
"Iris will agree", Henry said darkly. "I'll make her".
Iris, So this is about her marriage. Bloody fucking hell.
It looks like I have to unleash the beast now.
Everyone trying to take her away from me will burn in my wrath, especially Henry. I won't let him win now.
"Adrain will unleash chaos. This will set him off", Sebastian said.
"Adrian won't find out. I've make sure of it. I tricked him into thinking. Iris knew about and helped me steal the shadow file. But the truth is, she had no idea. I saw him outside my office and lied to make him believe she was involved".
Henry's voice seemed to fade as his words sunk in. The world blurred around me as I realised he'd tricked me into thinking Iris knew about the shadow file and was involved in stealing it.
Fucking Hell, How can I not see the truth? How can I not believe her?
Fuck!
Her heart must have shattered into a million pieces, but I was so caught up in myself that I didn't realize how much pain I was causing her.
Shit, What have I done?
