I question, confused by how gentle he is tonight. He told me his rule: he will never be gentle, never kiss me passionately, never look at me with such eyes, but he has broken those rules tonight. Why? He pulls me closer to him, leaning in, he kisses me on my lips. * * * * * * * When the doctor informed Mae that her sister's illness was taking a toll and more money would be needed for her treatment, Mae doesn't think twice to get the money through any means. Even if it means being the little pet of the well-known playboy in town, Sin Hayes.

Funny enough, I am not surprised I am aware her father has a way of getting people's information, my only worry is how much she dug into me. "I also have my way of getting the information that I need.""No more lies then, but I have to warn you that a fake relationship won't stop me from wanting you," I inform her, I stand up from the chair and close the distance between us. I place my hand on the couch above her head and lean in. She swallows slowly, her eyes locked on mine, "I know you didn't come here only to sign the contract. You came here on a mission."Her lips curl up into a mischievous smile that takes me by surprise. Isn't she nervous? Doesn't she want me to back off from her? Instead, she touches my tie, twirls it around her hand, and pulls me closer to her until our faces are inches apart."What mission is that Mr. Wright?" She asks, her voice low and sultry. My e
NOAH"Sir, Miss Hayes has arrived," Brian announces stepping into the office and bowing his head slightly. I close the file in front of me and adjust my tie properly, pulling it up before leaning back into my seat. "Let her in," I order. Brian nods and leaves the office immediately to get her, minutes later he steps into the office with her by his side and all I can do is stand on my feet, my lips parting slowly, stunned by her outfit and appearance.Her hair is packed up in a ponytail, her makeup bold today, and the gown she has on. My eyes fall from her face to her body, the gown is so tight and short that I can already picture her naked. All it would take is to have her bent over on my table and claim her. I wonder if she is even wearing anything underneath this gown. "Mr. Wright," she calls out my name pulling me out of my thoughts, and I realize I have been staring at her so long that I didn't notice she was now opposite me with her hand stretched out for a handshake. "My apo
ARIAHe laughs, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Well, that's part of the reason, Miss Hayes.""....""I am waiting, Miss Hayes," he smiles staring at me. "Noah," I mutter, why am I getting nervous calling him by his actual name? So, awkward. "Thank you Aria, I will take it that you have forgiven me.""I didn't say that," I correct him, trying to sound firm but my voice comes out a little shaky.He chuckles, his eyes never leaving mine. "Oh, I think you did, Aria. You're a very forgiving person, I can tell just by looking at your pretty face."Did he just call me pretty? He is definitely drunk and will probably regret this conversation tomorrow. I roll my eyes, trying to hide my smile. Focus Aria, it's not like he is the first person to call you pretty, but why does it sound so genuine coming from him? He grins, his teeth flashing on the screen. "We should see tomorrow regarding the bet, the sooner, the better.""You really meant what you said?" I ask, even though I know he wasn
ARIAWhen I get back to the office, Stephanie is already halfway done with the paperwork. In a way, I am grateful for the lunch break, because all I end up doing is signing and stamping documents. As I'm signing the last document, I press the intercom, "Stephanie, I will be taking a break tomorrow to take care of some personal errands. Please make sure to hold all my calls and don't schedule any meetings for me until I get back."Stephanie's voice comes through the intercom, "Yes, Aria. I've got it. Have a good break."I nod, even though she can't see me. I'm glad I have a competent assistant like Stephanie who can handle things while I'm away. After the call, I tidy up my table, pack up all my things, and head home feeling exhausted.As soon as I get home, I drop my bag and head straight to the bathroom to freshen up. I wash my face, brush my hair, and change into something comfortable.I decide to check my emails before going to bed, sitting on the bed, I grab my laptop from the b
ARIAAs I step out of the restroom, I walk to my table immediately. My eyes fall on Noah's date and her eyes lock with mine for a moment, I can't tell if she saw Noah entering the female restroom with me. I avoid her gaze and join Ryan at my table. "Girl, why did you take so long in the damn bathroom? Were you giving birth or what?""I am sorry, I was em..." I didn't exactly think of an excuse on my way here."Locked up with Noah Wright?" Ryan raises an eyebrow. "What?""I saw him, his eyes were fixed on you like a hawk, and from the way he left his seat. I suspect he wanted to speak to you," Ryan says. "So, did he?" "What? No. I mean we did say Hello because you know his cousin used my services recently at his wedding," I lie. Well, technically it's not a lie, George Wright did use my services but I am not about to tell Ryan I just made a bet in that bathroom.A ridiculous one at that, one that I am starting to regret as I see Noah heading towards his seat and talking to his date
NOAH"Go to hell," she kisses her teeth making her way for the door, this time I not only grab her by the arm, I shove her back against the wall until she has nowhere else to go. Our gaze locks together and for a moment we just stare at each other, her eyes blazing with anger as she grinds the back of her teeth and mine filled with a sinister plan that involves her. She tries to move to the side in hopes of escaping me, but I place my hands on the wall caging her. "Let me go, what the hell do you think you are doing?" "I'm not letting you go until you agree," I say, my voice low and menacing."Agree to what?" she spits, her eyes flashing with defiance."To the bet, to the fake marriage. To the chance to win 100 million dollars," I say, my eyes locked on hers."You're crazy if you think I'd ever agree to that," she says, her voice firm."But you will," I say, my smile growing wider. I have always gotten whatever I wanted, even her father's company which I failed to acquire still lin
NOAHWhat the hell is she doing here? Or maybe it is I who needs to answer that question, Melissa had dragged me out for a lunch break and I had reluctantly agreed, hoping to get some fresh air and clear my head. But now, I'm faced with the last person I expected to see - Aria Hayes. And to make matters worse, she's sitting with that ugly-looking dude, laughing, chatting, and being all touchy. Who is he? I am familiar with her brother Arthur Hayes, I had been opportune to meet him during my meeting with Hayes Tech, so, I know that's not him. Perhaps her boyfriend? She didn't exactly strike me as the type who would have time for a boyfriend, maybe a fuck buddy, but not a boyfriend. Why am I even bothered by this piece of information and why am I getting pissed off at the sight of that guy touching her?What do I even care who she hangs out with? I'm here with Melissa, anyway. But my eyes keep drifting back to her, and I can't help but notice the way she's smiling, the way her eyes
ARIAIt's been two days since the incident with Noah Wright, I have been so occupied with work that I barely had time to think about him or the nonsense stunt he tried to pull in my office the other day.I don't know who told me that handling a lot of projects at the same time was a good idea to stay relevant, I mean it is, but why haven't I gotten any sleep in two days...Ahhh!I go through the file in front of me for the second time, making sure I have not made any mistakes with the budget placement and the color theme. The door of my office suddenly opens wide, and from the heavy scent of the vanilla perfume I already know who it is and all I can do is frown even more as I watch Ryan step into the office with his hands in the air and a big smile on his face. "Hello love," he says rushing to my side and kissing me on my cheek. "I have been calling you for two days now, not even a single call back or a message. Like hey, sorry Ryan but I am busy with work."I sigh, dropping my pen
NOAHI take a seat on the couch and Melissa joins me with a worried look plastered on her face. "Are you serious? She said something about surrogacy and I found it odd, I had it in mind to discuss it with you without her being a part of our discussion."I sigh, adjusting my tie, "There is nothing to discuss, I have made it clear to her that I do not want to get married or have a child.""Are you still on this decision of yours?" She questions. I give her a firm nod, it's been a decision I made for myself a long time ago. No kids, no wife, just me and my business. My mother probably hated the idea, but she didn't oppose it until this darn contract appeared.She still doesn't remember when she signed it, which I find odd, but she is hellbent on making sure I comply and not have the company and everything taken from me. Or maybe it's just her desire to make sure she doesn't get pushed to the sidelines after years of enduring her shitty marriage. "I know you have refused to tell me why
