Alice flinched when she heard Darius’ question. She turned back slowly while holding her breath. Darius sat still on his chair still maintaining his calm expression. However his demeanor was completely different from before. It was as if he changed from a friendly dog to a Lion as he calmly sat on his chair watching her. Alice gulped slowly before speaking up. “Don’t worry Darius. I know Michael. We are just going to have a talk and catch up with the past. You don’t need to bother about it.” Alice explained. “You still haven’t answered my question Alice.” Darius replied calmly. Alice sighed. She knew that Darius wasn’t the person he was anymore, as he was incredibly wealthy, but they were dealing with Michael Finn here, the sole heir of the Finn conglomerate! When she was in a relationship with Michael back in high school, no one had agreed to help her when she mentioned the situation she was in to them. That only showed her how powerful the Finn conglomerate was. Although Dariu

The next few days were incredibly tough for Darius as there were only two days before the one week leave granted to him ran out. He had spent the majority of his time in the study room going over several documents regarding the Reid consortium. However despite his efforts, he had yet to even finish 10% of the work he was supposed to do regarding the Reid consortium. After signing one more document, he leaned back into his chair and sighed. There were still several documents arranged neatly on the table waiting for him to go through them. He finally understood what his grandfather meant. There was no way he could handle this work alone. He had fully focused on working during the past few days, yet he had covered so little. He dared not imagine what the case would be when he resumed school. At this rate he would not even be able to get 1% of the work done. Darius sighed once more. He looked at the antique clock in his study room and saw that it was already time for lunch. He had work

They all stood up and bowed lightly as Darius walked in. It showed that they were not ignorant about the powerful background Darius had.Only when Darius had sat down at the head of the conference table did the other people in the room sit.The senior secretary to one of the upper echelon's higher-ranking members passed several documents to Darius before passing them around to the others present. When everyone had received the documents, the secretary stood beside her superior. It was time for the meeting.The meeting commenced with the unveiling of the new products invented by the various researchers in the Innovative research department. Darius maintained a stoic face as he scanned the documents given to him, but he was shocked at what he saw. The Nix Inc. really proved why they were worthy of being the number 1 tech company in the country. The documents contained the list of the products and the details about them, along with starting price for their launch. The upper echelons sta

Darius drove his car at top speed as he wanted to arrive at Eve bar as soon as possible. He was naturally breaking the speed limits as he drove, which drew the attention of various traffic officers to him. However when they saw the customized license plate and the expensive looking sports car, they turned a blind eye to his high speed. Such a person would definitely have a powerful identity. As long as he didn’t get involved in a road accident, they could overlook his misgivings.After one hour of driving at top speed, Darius finally arrived at his destination. The outside of the bar was already busy, with the loud music from inside the bar echoing outside the building. There was a long queue of people waiting to enter, showing that the bar was a popular one.When Darius pulled into the parking lot with his sports car, his arrival naturally drew a lot of attention.“Wow! Such an expensive sports car!” A male in waiting in the queue said.The moment the bouncers saw the expensive looki

Erin was being held roughly by the two men. Her black gown was torn in some places and their hands were groping her breasts roughly. She tried to struggle with all her strength but she was too weak for them. Not only that, one of the two men had clamped his hands tightly on her mouth so that she would be unable to cry out for help.When Darius saw the unbridled lust in the gaze of the two males and the tears dripping off Erin’s face, his eyes went red from rage. He didn’t need anybody to tell him what they wanted to do to her. Their actions said it all.They wanted to rape her.“What do you think you both are doing right now?” Darius asked in a very icy tone.The two men jolted from shock when they heard Darius’ voice. They didn’t expect anybody to be here at all.“How did you find us?” one of the males asked Darius.“That should be the least of your problems now.” Darius replied coldly.The other male removed his hands from Erin and started walking towards Darius menacingly.“I will

Erin looked at Darius with confusion displayed on her face. ‘Work for him?’ She didn’t even know who he was! As a matter of fact, she didn’t know how she got here. While she was still trying to figure out where the heck she was, someone appeared and without even offering an explanation, he candidly asked her to work for him. Erin wanted to curse at him, but considering the fact that she didn’t know him, and neither did she know this place, she withheld her curses. The man could be very dangerous and lash out at her if she misbehaved. The only reason she was a bit calm was because she was sure that the man bore no resemblance to the duo who wanted to rape her. Although it was a bit dark at the time of the assault, she still remembered the faces of the two men clearly. “Excuse me sir, but I don’t even know you, neither do I know what you do for a living. I don’t even know how I got here. How on earth am I supposed to answer your question?” Erin replied in an exasperated voice. Dar

When he saw her response, Darius smiled triumphantly. It was exactly as he had predicted. He inquired once more, this time in a confident tone.“So Erin Chrysalis, what do you think about working for me?”Erin didn’t answer him immediately. She was still stunned by the details in the documents and the contract offer that he offered. The documents contained the list of several companies that were globally acknowledged. As a former vice president of Numbers Int’l, she naturally knew several of the companies mentioned in the documents. The least of the companies in the documents was worth at least $30 billion, which was an astronomical sum! Even the nemesis of Numbers Int’l, Nix Inc. was listed in the documents too. Although she was extremely shocked by the companies listed in the documents, her shock reached a new high when she read the contract details. The contract stated that she was to help manage the several companies that were listed in the documents. However, her shock largel

“Erin! Is that you?!” Darius and Erin both turned to the direction of the voice. Erin in particular was surprised when she heard her name. The voice of the person sounded very familiar to her. She wondered who the person who called her name was. Soon enough the person came into their line of sight. Erin face instantly morphed from one of surprise to irritation when she saw the person. It was none other than her college classmate, Vanessa Floyd. Vanessa and Erin both attended a highly rated college in their district. Although it was a far cry from universities like Kingston University, which Darius attended, it was still a top university. Vanessa and Erin were both regarded as the goddesses of their college. Not only were they incredibly beautiful, they were also very brilliant book wise, as they came out with top results after every exam. However, despite being worshipped by both students and lecturers in the college alike, the two did not get along with each other. Vanessa most e
