You are dead, Romeo.

I pulled away from Sienna quickly and looked towards the door. Aspen, Serena and Troy were standing at the door in shock. If a gaze could kill someone, Aspen had already killed me. I gulped nervously and got up, holding my pants. Sienna instantly wrapped the cover around her body and sat up on the bed, her face got pale.

"Hi." I muttered, embarrassed and zipped my pants quickly.

Troy pursed her lips together, trying to hold his smile. Meanwhile, Aspen was shooting daggers at me, his hand clenched. Serena grabbed his arm as she guessed what was going on inside of his head. Troy gestured to me that I left quickly with a head gesture.

I was staring at my parents and brother in panic while holding the cover against me tightly. Meanwhile, Romeo was staring at my father, frozen, his face white like a sheet. Troy gestured to him to leave as my father's body tensed up. He looked like a wild animal ready to pounce at his prey.

"Umm... I have to go. Goodbye." Romeo mumbled in fear as he grabbed his other clothes while just wearing his pants and stormed out when my father rushed towards him to punch Romeo. Fortunately, my mother and Troy stopped my father from hitting my boyfriend.

I pursed my lips together, looking at my furious father, embarrassed. I was sure that my cheeks turned crimson red.

"Despite the fact he came back a few days ago, he has already managed to get into your pants." My father barked, frustrated and shook his head in disapproval.

"Dad!" I exclaimed while I couldn't stop myself from blushing.

"With this speed, you will be a grandfather soon." Troy joked, amused.

"Troy!" My father warned furiously.

I gave Troy a dirty look. What was he trying to do?! Getting Romeo and me killed?! He mounted sorry and pursed his lips together, trying to hold his smile.

My father turned his gaze from him to me and said in an authoritative tone. "If I see him half-naked in your bedroom again, I will kill him." Then he stormed out without letting me say anything.

I breathed deeply, ruffling my hair. My mother shook her head, smiling in amusement, and left without saying anything.

"Warn my friend to protect his little friend. Dad can solve the root of the problem any time." Troy chuckled in amusement.

"Troy!" I warned him angrily, giving him a death glare.

"Don't worry. Romeo is a smart bastard. He will protect his precious jewel. I am sure he will make me an uncle in the near future. Maybe sooner than I think." Troy winked at me and left the room, laughing.

I was working in my office when my assistant informed me that my father asked me to visit him in his office. I grabbed my phone and went to his office.

"Sit down, please." My father said while signing some documents as I walked in. I nodded and sat down in the armchair beside his desk.

He closed the file, exhaling, and grabbed another file. "You know about our eco-friendly hotel project with Aspen." He reminded, extending the file towards me.

"Yes, you told me we bought the land where we plan to build it." I stated and looked at the paperwork.

"Good. You have an hour to examine the details before the meeting with Aspen and his team. You will be in charge of the project from our side. And Aspen plans to give the project to Sienna. So you will work together." My father informed firmly, giving me a knowing look.

A wide grin appeared on my face as soon as I heard it. It was the best news for today. Working with Sienna meant we would spend a lot of time together.

"Thank you, Dad. I will not disappoint you." I said happily, giving him a grateful smile.

I knew my father gave me this project purposely because I could be with Sienna and spend time with her.

"Just be careful. Don't incur Aspen's wrath." He warned me.

"Don't worry, Dad." I nodded and gave him a reassuring look.

"Fine. Go and get ready, The meeting will be in their company." He informed me.

I parked my car in front of Anderson Enterprises Holdings Inc. and got out of it. I took a deep breath and walked into the building. I should admit I was slightly nervous because of what happened yesterday morning. I was sure Aspen was still frustrated.

"Don't tell me you will work on the project." Troy stated, raising his eyebrow as soon as he saw me in the hallway.

"Yes, the lucky one is me." I teased him as we shook hands.

"Are you not afraid of your life? You came here after what happened yesterday." He commented, amused.

"I just hope my best friend will have my back." I winked at him.

He rolled his eyes, trying to hold his smile. "Come on, they are in the conference room."

Sienna looked at me, confused as soon she saw me. Meanwhile, Aspen gave me an intimidating look.

"Be brave, bro." Troy whispered in my ear, amused.

"Shut up!" I snapped in a low tone. He giggled, covering his mouth with his hand, and informed them that I would be in the charge of the project. Aspen's jaw clenched as soon as he heard it, and he shot daggers at me. I sighed and sat down beside Troy.

When we left the conference room, we bumped into Henry.

"What a lovely day!" I mumbled under my breath, irritated.

"Sir, I was going to see you. I brought the file which you wanted." He told Aspen, showing the file in his hand.

"Didn't I tell you to call me Aspen when we aren't in a meeting?" Aspen gave him a warm smile. "You are like a son to me. And I am glad you work in our company. Our company needs bright people like you." He added, tapping on his shoulder after giving me a dirty look.

I gritted my teeth in frustration. If it was possible, he would gladly get rid of me and give his blessing, letting Henry marry Sienna.

"Thank you, Aspen. It is an honor to work with you." The bastard gave Aspen a polite smile.

Aspen nodded and resumed in an authoritative tone. "Examine the file with Sienna and give me a report about it tomorrow. Then we will discuss the other details about it."

"Sure." Henry said happily.

Smarmy bastard!

I clenched my fist angrily and gritted my teeth. I would gladly smash this smile off his face. However, I didn't provoke Aspen's wrath. He already hated me; I didn't want that him to hate me more. Especially now, when I had important plans about my future with Sienna in my mind. So I had to earn his trust and prove myself to him.

As Aspen left, Henry approached Sienna after giving me a cold glare. "How about discussing it over dinner? I have a few meetings: so I am afraid I don't have time now." He said and gave her an apologetic look, resting his hand on her arm, looking at her like he was eating her with his eyes.

My jaw tightened as I looked at him. I was boiling with my anger. When he stroked her arm gently while talking to her, rage pulsed through my veins.

When I clenched my fist in frustration and tried to approach him, Troy grabbed my arm, stopping me. I gave him a warning look, trying to pull my arm away while I was shaking with anger, he shook his head without releasing his grip.

"Come with me, Romeo. I have to talk to you." He said and dragged me towards his office without letting me say anything.

"Why did you bring me here?" I snapped, irritated and ran my hand through my hair angrily.

"You should thank me, instead of scowling. Do you know what would happen if you hit him?" He stated firmly.

"What? Do you like Mr. Perfect too?" I asked mockingly and rolled my eyes in annoyance.

He heaved a deep sigh, resting his hand in his pocket. "You have to keep a low profile if you want a future with Sienna." He commented in a bossy tone. "And I hope you are serious with my sister. Otherwise, you will have big problems." He added threateningly.

I rolled my eyes in annoyance. "You know very well how much I love Sienna."

"So calm down. And act wisely." He stated confidently, resting his hand on my shoulder.

I breathed deeply and informed. "I asked Sienna to move in with me."

He raised his eyebrows in surprise. "What did Sienna say?"

"She accepted, but we have to convince your father. I hope you will help me with it." I said, giving him a begging look.

"Fine." He nodded and gave me a grin. "Why do I feel that you will be my brother-in-law soon with this speed." He teased me.

"Who knows?!" I winked at him. He chuckled, shaking his head and sat down on his seat. "Umm... Would you like to have dinner with me?" I asked, rubbing the back of my neck while resting my free hand in my pocket.
