Chapter 95 

TILIAN 

Tought to have been somewhere else

Auden’s yearend bash wasn’t my cup of teatoo formal, too routine, and too many people putting on a good show about things they didn’t particularly care for These types of events were all about a stage, a show of power and control where a firm handshake might secure multimillion- 

dollar drak

I didn’t have to be here. I reminded myself that, more than once. I had work to do. Real work. Vigilon had acquired a new highprofile client whose security detail needed a total revamp, and I had more important things to do than stand here drinking whiskey and chatting with individuals. I did not care about 

And still. I found myself on the opposite side of the ballroom, drink in hand, observing the affair 

ny typical indifference

with my 

I assured myself that I was present merely for professional purposes. The growth of Archite Associates promised additional security deals, and a portion of Aiden’s backers would sooner or later be visiting Vigilon’s doorstep 

Leastways, this is what I intended to continue telling myself 

My reverie was broken by a familiar voice

Didn’t you tell me you had work to do?” 

I shifted my head slightly and saw Aiden standing next to me, his face as inscrutable as ever

“I did, I grumbled, taking a slow drink 

And yes, here you are

FreyaAiden’s wifewas smiling next to him. Don’t listen to him. Cillian. I’m glad you’re here 

Unlike her husband. Freya meant it 

Freya had a knack for rounding out Aiden’s rough edges that I still found faintly interesting. He was still the same brooding, workaddicted bastard he’d ever been, but there was a subtle comfort about him now 

Their daughter, Gia, had contributed to that as well. The little terror had Aiden tied around her tiny sixyearold finger

Freya son Aiden a pouned glance. Don’t push your brother. He showed up

Aiden just hummed, obviously not buying it. Yealt. I’m just wondering why 

didn’t her 

I didn’t get the chance to answer him before he went on, his tone way too relaxed

“Are we going to discuss the fact that youwho promised to the moon and back that you bad higher things to which to attendnow stand at my 

I shrugged. It’s good business” 

SureAiden smirked. And it has nothing to do with Erica?” 

let out a harsh breath. Jesus. You’ve been hanging out with your wife too much. Getting friendly

Freya grinned. Loy to be a positive influence” 

1 tuned them both out my attention on the whiskey m my glass

Aiden hummed once more, obviously not believing me, but before he could keep up the questioning the crowd moved. Someone new. I left the irritation set in before I even realized why 

Frica Davis 

She entered the ballroom with effortless grace, her dark green dress hugging her figure in all the right places. Those waves of red hair framed her face. There was no denying that she was a beautiful woiran

When I saw her for the first time, she was right, a year younger than the I thought she was pretty back then

Chapter 9,9 

Now! She was beautiful. Easily any straight guy’s wet dream 

But she spoiled it with her mouth. She opened her mouth to spit flames. She was a petual challenge

I didn’t pay attention to that, I didn’t have time to think about her mouth. No, my eyes homed in on the man standing next to her

Tüll. Blond. Unremarkable 

He resembled every other highnetworth investor in the roomdressed sharp, pricey watch, perfectly coiffed hair

Forgetable 

Forgettable was in 

was not Erica’s hand on his 

ann, though 

1 gritted my jaw as I watched them walk towards us

Aiden, ever perceptive, caught it. I see you’ve noticed” 

I had another slow swig of my whiskey, paying no attention to the way my hand grew tighter on the glass

Erica and her date approached us, and I observed her insently, my eyes fixed on her like a silent challenge

She sensed it

er characteristic assurance

In with her 

Her stance changed ever so slightlyjust the slightest glimmer of uncertainty before she covered it up 

Eveningshe said, her tone as silky as ever. She released her date’s arm and turned toward Aiden. I just came to check in and make sure everything’s going according to plan.” 

Aiden nodded. All looks perfect, as planned.” 

She looked at Freya, How are you doing?” 

Great.Freya smiled, resting a hand on her stomach. Though I have a feeling Aiden’s going to drive me crazy with his overprotectiveness

Erica smiled. Well, I’m all for it. Someone’s got to look out for you” 

Freya playfully rolled her eyes and left the group

That left ine, Erica, her date, and Aiden

And I was still cyring her 

Her date inched over slightly, the intensity of my stare making him shift unconfortably. He spoke up to Aiden, trying to clear his throat |_ Everything is terribic, Mr. Kniglu” 

Good to hear that.Aiden grumbled before I caught the faintest flicker in his lips. Though your date is the one who deserves the accolades” 

His emphasis on the term date wasn’t missed by me. He was doing it deliberately

The man beutated, obviously waiting for an introduction to me. Erica, however, didn’t provide one 

Clever girl

kayshe said, and at last filling the silence. I should go and take a look at a couple of things. See you later” 

She wheeled around, pushing past me, and I inhaled a whiff of her perfume- delicate, flowerscented, infuriatingly recognizable

I didn’t linch 

Didn’t watch her leave

Her date hung back a fraction of a second too long before finally taking his leave too 

Aiden grinned the instant he was out of sight 

You know, if looks could kill, that guy would be six feet under by now,”

1 finished the rest of my whiskey and slammed the glass down on the counter 

You’re delusional” 

Yeah,I growled. You’re imagining things” 

Aiden Laughed. Right. Because you just happen to glare at every investor who walks into a room.” 

I didn’t say anything. Because there was nothing to say

I wasn’t jealous. I wasn’t anything I was just annoyed

Yeah. That was it. And if Aiden or someone else had any other idea? They could go to hell
