‘The leather of this Rolls-Royce car is divine!’ It was the first reaction that came to Iris’ mind when her body touched the passenger seat of this ultra-sleek car. Alexander slid smoothly beside her, and he kept close contact with Iris. His broad shoulder nipped Iris’, and his sturdy legs took up the place so Iris must hurry over to avoid his big body. “We will go straight to the airport,” he said to the driver before he put the partition glass up to cover their privacy in the passenger seats. “Wait… wait… hold up! Airport?!” Iris whipped her head to see the man. “Yeah, we will go to my office in Baltimore before we go back here again. The are some businesses I need to check first.” He calmly answered Iris. Iris was at a loss. “If you are that busy! Why do you insist on having a date with me!” She could not hold her irritation anymore. “Just stop right here! Let’s call this thing off! I don’t think we are compatible at all!” She told him with a strong objection voice. And as

They landed on time and after that, they were escorted to a private helipad in another section and directly took the sleek black private helicopter with the golden cursive “B” word drawn aesthetically in the helicopter door. ‘That must be the abbreviation of Browning.’ Iris mused inside her head. She felt slightly relieved after she could stand her ground and refused his tempting proposal. But she would not trade her dream to have a dream wedding with the love of her life. Of course, ten million was a gazillionaire amount of money. But she was sane enough to decline the offer. Iris could not run away after turning down the man, so she was unfortunately stuck and had to follow Alexander's agenda tonight. The quick helicopter ride was awkward on Iris's end. She was quiet the whole time. Only Alex talked and barked some orders to a man that Iris assumed was one of his staff in the Baltimore office. They arrived around ten minutes later, and Alex offered his hand as support for Iris

IRIS Of course, Iris did not comprehend his words at first. What he said with ease successfully ticked her off. Iris finally burst out laughing heartily. “No, that’s impossible!” she stated. “What’s impossible?” he asked back. “Nothing is impossible. We can do it,” he added. “Sit here, Iris. Let’s for once… we talk like an adult.” His advice irked Iris. But to be honest, her heart skipped a beat when she heard his suggestion. Falling in love with each other, sounded like a perfect fairy tale. In the end, it was only a tale and not a reality. “Look, just let’s try first. I just need two years. That’s all. After that, we can part ways. I will be a perfect husband for you, you will forget it’s just a contract marriage.” Alex coaxed him wholeheartedly. “There will be a prenuptial agreement, and you can write down your requirements.” At that, for a split second, she thought and weighed down his offers. But again, it was a crazy proposition in the first place. And not to m

Sebastian frowned when he took the notebook. “My Mom mentioned it in passing. She was not writing it in detail.” Alex noted. “That’s a serious allegation,” That was what Sebastian responded. He returned the pages and skimmed them quite fast. “I will see what I can do for this,” Sebastian finally nodded and confirmed that he would take the case. “Have you heard about this before?” Alex shook his head. “It was a first time, only because I read that book, and I don’t have any lead for that,” he added. Alexander remembered the first time he read the passage. And he remembered th

IRISIris woke up groggily after she had a restless sleep last night. She opened the Pandora Box. Led by her curiosity, Iris finally made a poor decision by reading hundreds of articles, whether it was a business or a gossip trash article related to Alexander Roman Browning. And along the way, she was also reading about Julianne Ruthford, her family– their massive empire of corporations and businesses, and all the rumors encircling their high-profile lifestyle. As a result, she read until past midnight, and could not catch up with her sleep time because at 5 AM she had to wake up and start her day as usual. After taking a quick shower and preparing a simple breakfast, she drove to her store and prepared to make batches of cakes to sell today. She took the coffee this morning and drank heartily. But in the middle of scooping the flour, she vaguely remembered that Alex called her last night. But she had no idea what they were talking about because she was deep in her sleep and coul
