The Black Scorpion
Ch. 7

Upon entering the school building, Aaric is greeted by a young woman who appears to be attracted to the man.

"Good morning, Mr. Aaric. Good morning Abellard and Damien" said the young woman.

"Good morning, Miss Bebe," Abellard and Damien replied together.

"And this..," said the young woman hanging at the sight of Adrienne.

"He is the one who from now on will take care of all the needs of Abel and Damien. If you need anything or there is a problem with them, please contact this woman directly. Her name is Anne" said Aaric disguised Adrienne's status in the presence of Beatrix, or Bebe's familiar name, by the school's children.

"Oh okay. Nice to meet you, Mrs Laurent," said Beatrix languidly shaking Adrienne's hand.

"But I..," Adrienne's speech was interrupted by Aaric who immediately interjected.

"Abellard, Damien, farewell to Anne" said Aaric firmly.

"Bye Mom" said the twins together and stepped inside while being held by Beatrix.

"Mom?" adrienne muttered while pointing at herself.

"Not to think too much. From today on, you're known as Mrs Laurent at this school. It's good for the twins and you can take care of everything about the twins easily" Aaric said.

"Mrs? Laurent?" adrienne said as she followed Aaric's steps.

Aaric stopped his steps and turned his back to face Adrienne who was following him behind. Because he was thinking about the thing earlier, Adrienne did not stop and instead hit Aaric who was in front of him. His body staggered backwards and nearly fell if Aaric did not swiftly hold the woman's waist.

"Please watch your step" Aaric said after Adrienne rebalanced her body.

"Sorry" said Adrienne.

"You still thinking about that?" ask Aaric straight to the point.

Adrienne simply nodded without answering a word.

"You've been called Mrs Laurent and I'm not correcting that statement either because you will take care of the twins. Laurent's my surname and if you're called Mrs Laurent, that means you're already considered my wife. If later there are things about the twins that need a guardian and I'm not in place, you can replace me as their guardian. That's why I didn't correct the woman's words. Clear?" aaric explained at length.

"good. I understand."

"Yes, let's go. I have a meeting in half an hour and you're going to be with Anna" Aaric continued walking and got in the car.

Adrienne followed Aaric's steps and got into the car. The car drove along with the sad gaze of Beatrix who was heartbroken because her heart was married.

Arriving at the office, they all immediately do their respective activities except Adrienne. He was confused as to what to do and finally decided to make coffee for Savannah and Aaric. While laying coffee for Savannah, Nikolai steps past the woman's desk.

"Ah Nikolay. I'm sorry I forgot to make you coffee" Adrienne said.

"It's okay. Let me make coffee for Niko" Savannah sumringah said.

Adrienne soon realized that Savannah had a heart for Nikolai. He decides to stay quiet and brings in coffee for Aaric followed by Nikolai behind him.

"Aaric, I'm making coffee. Go ahead" said Adrienne.

"Thank you," said Aaric softly who successfully made Adrienne's heart feel restless.

"Well bad. I'm not considered," chanted one voice from the direction of the sofa.

Adrienne immediately turned her gaze to the sofa and saw Bellagio sitting leisurely with some files on her hands and lap.

"No need, Anne. You are my personal servant so you only serve me and my family, excluding others" Aaric said without turning his eyes away from the file before him.

"So I'm not considered family? Whoa, you, Rick," said Bellagio in a sad tone made up.

"Ck. Too drama. Yes, Anne made super bitter coffee for this one man."

Adrienne nodded and went to make coffee. Along with Adrienne leaving the room, the phone in the room rang.

"Hello. What's the matter, Anna?" ask Aaric.

"Sister, below are some people dressed in black who want to meet you. It looks like they were the ones who wanted to hurt Anne yesterday" Savannah said across the phone.

"Allow them in" Aaric said, then hung up.

"What's wrong?" bellagio asked as he looked at Aaric's change in facial water.

"Dign humans yesterday have come" said Aaric coldly.

Just as Adrienne entered with a cup of coffee and placed it before the Bellagio, the door of the room opened violently. Adrienne and the surprised Bellagio turned towards the door. Adrienne's face instantly paled while Bellagio's face turned flat.

"Wah wow. It turns out the big boss is. It's lucky that**** this is getting rich men," said one of the herd, who was like their leader while holding Adrienne's chin.

"Don't touch my woman with your filthy hands or I'll break her" said Aaric coldly.

The man threw Adrienne's head violently so that the woman's head fell to the side. A clear thread immediately flowed from the beautiful eyes of the woman who was crazily afraid of her to the man before her. Aaric stood up and approached Adrienne and held her cheeks and checked for any injuries. Slowly Aaric removed the clear globules that fell onto Adrienne's cheek.

"I apologize to my woman" said Aaric.

"For what? He is indeed*****," said the man.

With a quick movement, Aaric grasped one of the man's fingers and broke it.

Kraaakk.

The sound of broken bones that make anyone who hears it grate. The man could only growl stifled so as not to look weak in the presence of his men.

"I'm sorry," Aaric ordered.

"Sorry" said the man and Adrienne nodded.

"All right then. Now tell me why you framed my woman in that hotel" Aaric ordered again.

The man told the exact same thing as Adrienne had told him the night before and Aaric nodded. He saw the gaze the man glanced between him and Adrienne.

"What do you see?" ask Aaric.

"none. It's just that he doesn't seem to have a relationship with you" the man replied.

"You don't believe she's my woman? I'll prove it."

Aaric held the back of Adrienne's head and pushed her towards him then kissed the woman's lips. At first Adrienne is silent but seeing the fierce man's gaze towards her, she replies to Aaric's kiss and they kiss hot for a few minutes until Aaric releases the link of their lips.

"Now do you believe?" aaric asked with a flash of anger in his eyes.

Seriate...
