《The Typhoon’s Wife》The Typhoon's Wife
Advertisement
Assistant Yang was sitting alone in the cafeteria of a posh club.Dressed in a crisp brown suit withhis tie loosened,he looked every inch the CEO he had become.Yang had been invited here by Mr.X.He had offered to book a private room but his offer had been refuted.Finally,he was going to meet the man after so many years of pretending to serve him.Mr X was an extremely cautious and paranoid man.If he had been invited to meet then there were only two possibilies.Either Mr X finally trusted him or he had been found out and he was called here to meet his end.
Sipping his coffee slowly,Assistant Yang pondered about the life he had chosen for himself.It was true that every choice he had made had been for himself and for family.He accepted the fact that he wanted all this to end so that he could live his life peacefully.Even though he was not old,his mind was tired of all the games and pretenses.He wanted to take a break and enjoy some time with his wife.They were not getting any younger.He wanted to have children.His wife had been after him for years now but he had her asked for time..He was scared of Mr X using any child of his as black mail.He dared not put his loved ones in such a vulnerable position.He and his wife were trained in martial arts and were good at fighting so they could take care of thmselves.But a baby would be defenseless.Five years ago,his wife had threatened to leave him if he did not want a family.He had begged her to grant him some time and she had relented.Those five years were going to end soon and he did not want to lose the love of his life!The end was almost near.He wished nothing would go wrong now...

Just as yang was lost in thoughts,a woman came and sat across him.He was about to ask the woman to leave,when she said in a soft voice,"Hello Assistant Yang.I am sorry to keep you waiting for so long..."
Yang was shocked at the greeting...Could it be Mr X was actally a woman?The woman was wearing a white pantsuit and looked to be in her late 40's.Her hair was parted in a retro style while she wore small studs at her earlobes and a pearl necklace arond her neck.Yang stared at the woman trying to discern the face under the makeup and match it to the old pictures they had of Mr. X.
The woman stared at the shocked man and said in a man's voice,"You seem shocked.You didn't think that I'd come to you without any defense.Yang,the maximum I can trust you is this.You are living in my enemy's pockets.I trust you as far as I can throw you.Now act yourself and let's get back to business."Taking out a laptop,she placed it in front of him and said,"I need you to explain the shares and stock structure of Lance Inc."
Staring at the laptop,Yang quickly looked down.However the man had made a small but important in coming like this.Once they had realized that Mr X was very good at disguising himself,Yang and Ryu had studied subtle nuances of make up and how to recognize it.In fact they must be the only businessmen who knew makeup better than most women.And Assistant Yang could see that the woman was not wearing much make up...So either this person was not Mr X or Mr. X was actually a woman.

Glancing at the woman once more,he opened the application and typed out the distribution of stocks and shares explaining in a detailed manner whichwas not known to public.Most people believed that Ryu Long was the biggest share holder of Lance Inc bt the trth was that he had only 14% in his name and the rest was divided amongst his brothers and rest of the directors.Mr X listened intently and then said,"Perfect..So you already have your 12% under your control.With Ryu leaving the country,he will transfer the power of attorney of his shares to you.So that means we will have 27% of the shares under us.We will need another 24% shares to accomplish what we need!Well done Yang.See if you can get any of the directors to sign over their shares to you."
As Mr. X got up to leave,she turned around and extended her hand to him."It was good meeting you Yang.We are about to reach our goal and soon you will be free.Let s hope you stand on the right side until the very end."
Yang shook hands with her but the moment she left felt his face turn cold.Mr X was actually Lady X and she was part of the elite families of the city.The ring on her finger was a symbol of the Jhenjin family.Tha last surviving members of the royal dynasty of the country were the only ones allowed to wear the symbol!

To Snag A Vampire
Where you would expect a brother-knight to be a paragon of virtue, discipline, and modesty — Oliver Arborough is a little off the mark, what with his frivolous, flippant nature and the tendency to give in to worldly desires. Teetering on the line between the finer things in life and the order’s tolerance, he faces a challenge that might just send him over the edge; On a routine assignment to kill some local legend terrorizing a rural countryside, our strapping young knight encounters an unparalleled beauty in the form of a young woman called Lenora — who happens to be said local legend terrorizing said rural countryside. And so begins the tale of a young knight and his reluctant companion, in a journey that the order most definitely would not approve of and could very well spell a life of hardship and strife for him in the future — but hey, doesn’t that just add to the thrill of it?
