Masuk"Alright, alright, stop laughing—time to get serious. Bryan, turn on your camera," Arjoona commanded.In an instant, the room shifted from loud laughter to intense focus as they gathered around a TV screen serving as Bryan's eyes and ears."Audio is live. Shawn, can you hear me?" Bryan asked, testing their comms."Yep. I'm heading out now!" Shawn replied, activating his body cam before starting the engine.Arjoona turned up the volume so everyone in the room could hear clearly. Shawn drove for 30 minutes to get to Malikha's neighborhood, checking in periodically throughout the trip until he reached her street."Do it, Bryan!" Arjoona ordered.Bryan moved swiftly, hacking into Malikha's cable network and killing the signal. "Signal's dead!" Bryan reported.Arjoona nodded. "Hold your position, Shawn. Be ready in 10 minutes."Moments later, a customer support call from Malikha came in. Bryan rerouted the call to his own phone, switched on the speaker, and posed as a customer service repr
"Alright, now tell us what your plan is, Joona!" Shawn said, pressing Arjoona for answers.Arjoona rubbed his palms together and gestured for his friends to lean in. Aidan finally slid his chair over to join his six best friends. Arjoona then laid out the clues, the overview, and the specific role each member of The Seven Wolves would play."But Aidan, you have to be prepared for the possibility that Malikha might reject you in the end," Joona encouraged him. "Just remember one thing: you are the father of the baby she’s carrying. Bruce can never take that away from you. Got it?"Aidan smiled and gave a firm nod."Alright, we start the plan tomorrow. First up, hacking is your job, Bryan Alexander. Do exactly as I told you." Bryan gave Arjoona a thumbs-up and grinned broadly.The next day, Bryan and the rest of The Seven Wolves—who were staying at Aidan's apartment—began executing Arjoona's plan. Before going to bed the night before, Bryan had hacked into the main system of the Beverly
Glenn then took Lucy out for dinner at a restaurant and pub in Manhattan. Neither of them spoke much, simply sitting down, ordering food, and starting their meal. Lucy was overcome with nervousness—something Glenn was well aware of. He kept his composure to ensure she wouldn't feel defensive."Are you..." Lucy paused, leaving her sentence hanging."What? What were you going to ask?" Glenn interrupted.Flustered, Lucy bit her lower lip. "Do you know where Mr. Aidan went?" she asked, pivoting away from her original thought.Glenn scoffed with an annoyed look on his face. "You really haven't given up, have you? Mr. Aidan has rejected you a hundred times. If a guy who actually liked you saw you like this, he'd run for the hills!" he sarcastically retorted before taking a sip of water.Lucy’s lips pouted immediately upon hearing the sarcastic response. "What did I do wrong? He's single now, isn't he?" she argued in her own defense."You've done plenty wrong. You had the nerve to flirt with
Lucy McClaine couldn’t concentrate on her work after leaving Aidan’s office. The unexpected gesture from Glenn had left her daydreaming like a fool. Not only was she completely dazed and confused, but she was also forgetting basic things.Glenn’s kiss was no ordinary kiss. Anyone who experienced it would know that a kiss full of passion like that was every woman’s dream. How could Lucy have overlooked Glenn, who was actually at the top of every female employee's wishlist at Orcanza?"No... this can't be happening. Mr. Aidan is the sexiest one. I can't let anyone else take his place," Lucy muttered, patting her cheeks. She tried to snap herself back to reality, telling herself that whatever had happened in Aidan's office was just a dream. But the harder she tried to fight it, the redder her cheeks became. The kiss still lingered on her lips, refusing to fade away."Aaahh... what is wrong with me?!" Lucy cried out in frustrated resignation.Just then, someone knocked on her door. She lo
Aidan pulled over a few meters away from where Malikha and Bruce parked their car. Bruce could be seen affectionately holding Malikha’s hand as they walked into a restaurant together. Aidan swallowed another bitter pill of disappointment, watching Malikha with another man. He finally paid the driver and stepped out of the cab to follow them inside.From the entrance, Aidan glanced to his left and spotted Malikha and Bruce sitting at a table in the far left corner of the restaurant. Pulling his cap further down over his face, he adjusted his glasses. A table right in front of theirs was vacant, so Aidan requested it immediately. He sat down, positioning his back directly against Bruce's. If he was going to stalk them, he had to do it right. He needed to hear every single word of their conversation.By sheer coincidence, Aidan ended up ordering the exact same dish as Malikha: a Tuna Pasta Salad. Lately, Aidan’s tastes had been aligning more and more with Malikha’s, especially when it ca
Aidan arrived in his black BMW M4, parking near the street in front of Malikha’s house. He had intentionally chosen not to drive a flashy luxury supercar so as not to draw too much attention. He had been there since early morning, even bringing along a sandwich for breakfast. His only hope was that he wouldn't suddenly throw up while playing the stalker. Sitting inside his car, Aidan waited patiently for Malikha to come out and go about her day.It wasn't until around 8:30 AM that Malikha finally stepped out, dressed casually in a plain dress and a cardigan. Wearing Converse sneakers, she looked more like a college student than an office worker. Malikha had made it a habit to stop wearing high heels due to her pregnancy and because she chose to walk everywhere every day. Stepping off the porch and locking the gate behind her, she walked along the sidewalk, passing Aidan’s car in the opposite direction.Aidan bit his lower lip and leaned back in his seat to avoid being seen. Almost sim
Aidan smiled as he listened to Malikha’s reaction on the other end of the phone.He could already picture her expression—wide eyes, trembling lips, that soft, overwhelmed look she always had whenever something touched her heart. The thought alone was enough to satisfy him.“Do you like the surprise?
Malikha froze the moment she heard his voice.“Hey, babydoll!”Her heart skipped as she slowly turned around. Of all people… she hadn’t expected to see him here.Aidan flashed a charming grin, acting warm and friendly, almost like an old friend.He stepped out of his car like he had all the time in
Malikha didn’t sleep that night. After Aidan left, she stared emptily, thinking about his apology—not because of the job offer. Aidan had changed in a click. The way he had looked at her before he left somehow made her blush, and she couldn’t stop. Her conscience told her to leave, but her heart as
Malikha forced a smile as she walked into her mom’s room, steadying her breath before anyone could notice the tension in her shoulders. The moment her eyes landed on the tall, handsome, mature man standing near the bed, her smile stretched wider.“Good afternoon, Mr. Caesar,” she greeted politely,
