ELENA“Drat!" As if my day wasn't shitty enough because of how late I woke, an idiot decided to splash me muddy water with his sleek red Audi.So freaking irking!I didn't envisage my first ever interview to be this exasperating and exhausting. Luckily, the bastard that sped by me had only splashed water on my leg which could be resolved. I brought out the flask filled with water I always carried around, used some of the liquid to rinse my leg before stepping to the front of the company's gate. Awestruck, a smile lighted my face as I gazed at how magnificent the glass-walled seven-storey structure stood.At last, I was in Aiden inc. The most reputable company in West Vale.I was ushered in by the gatekeeper without many questions.“Top floor." He murmured, pointing to the direction of the elevator. Clos

AIDEN“Is that all?"The girl whose name on her tag reads Kate asked. Her eyebrows puckered and a small smile played on her lips. Her brown eyes darted here and there as if she was scared I would pounce on her any moment from now. People often had that expression whenever they come close to me save for people that knew how harmless I was. Perhaps, it was my six feet, two inches height or the scowl I often sport on when I noticed girls were throwing suggestive wink my way.Whichever it was I didn't care.What I loathed the most was conducting interviews with any applicants interested in the company for the company's welfare. Because the people I do put in charge most especially, Ellen was too soft and tends to be very sympathetic, therefore accepting the wrong people into the system.It had always been like this since I opt-in to take care of the family's business. I was the oldest of fi

Groaning, I snatched my phone from the nightstand as I came awake. “How long had I slept for?" I questioned myself whilst gazing at the clock on the chipped wall which reads 10: 45 PM. So early to be awake. I wouldn't have much sleep anymore and I hoped that the reason Renee had disturbed my precious nap was for a good reason. I sat up on the small bed which barely contain the space I had stationed it in. It was close to a small wooden wardrobe next to the nightstand and my reading table was at the other corner. I did a semi stretch and swiped up the screen of my phone to answer the call. “Hey." I murmured, rubbing my eyes. “I'm sorry babes, I keep disturbing you whenever you are sleeping." She pleaded, making me wonder if she was ever sorry. She said this word all the time and I was somewhat used to it now. “How did the intervie

ELENA"I can't still believe Aiden Crook is your betrothed," Renee muttered in between swallowing of the cereal in her mouth. That mistake again. "Sold to," I said, correcting her slip. She shrugged, dropping the spoon with her in the cereal bowl. "What matters is, at the end of the day you'll get married to him."I winced at the blunt reminder. I would get married to him because I was used as a means of payment.Heck, if I began working, I don't know when I would accumulate that amount of money. Still, I believe there was no harm trying. The most aggravating thing was, he had fixed a wedding date, I and very sure my family wasn't aware. That jerk and he wasn't even bluffing. "Over my dead body. I'll rather die than seeing myself married to the pompous idiot.""What do you intend doi

AIDEN"So, big bro, will you tell me what that was about, earlier today?" Ellen lifted a brow as she stared at me. "What?" I questioned back. Though I know what she was talking about. Still, I wasn't ready to tell her anything. At least not in front of my three other siblings and parents who now gazed at me with peaked interest. Nosy bunch of people!"That girl. She left your office in anger and almost murdered Claire with the look in her eyes." Ellen shook her head, chuckling. Perhaps, pleased with the scene. I chuckled as I imagined her and Claire going one on one. Claire would no doubt shred her into piece yet I wouldn't watch that happen. Anyone that touches her, have me to answer to because she was my responsibility even though she hadn't realized it yet. "Don't give me that look. All other participant came out
