BROKEN CONTRACTS

CHAPTER 1:The Devil CEO

The rain poured heavily over the glass towers of FROST Global, turning the city streets into shining rivers of light.
Aria Bello stood outside the massive building, clutching a thin folder to her chest.Her heart was racing.This job could change everything.Her mother’s hospital bills.Her younger brother’s school fees.Their tiny apartment barely holding together.She had no choice but to succeed.Taking a deep breath, she pushed the revolving doors open.The lobby looked like something from another world—marble floors, towering glass walls, and employees rushing around in expensive suits. Aria felt completely out of place.
A woman at the front desk glanced at her.
“Name?”
“Aria Bello… I’m the new assistant.”
The receptionist’s expression changed immediately.
“Oh.”
That single word made Aria nervous.
“What?”
The woman leaned closer and whispered.
“You’re working for him.”
Aria frowned. “Him?”
The receptionist swallowed.
“Mr. Adrian Frost.”
The name seemed to make the entire room colder.Even the employees nearby suddenly looked uncomfortable.
“Why?” Aria asked.
The woman hesitated before answering.
“Because nobody lasts more than two weeks working for him.”
Aria blinked.
Great.
Twenty minutes later, Aria stood outside a large office door on the top floor.
The words CEO – Adrian Frost were written in bold silver letters.Her palms felt sweaty and her body felt shaky.She knocked.
“Come in.”
The voice was deep.Cold.
Aria opened the door.
The office was enormous, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city.
Behind a sleek black desk sat a man in a dark suit.
Adrian Frost.
He didn’t look up immediately.
He kept typing on his laptop as if she didn’t exist.
The silence stretched.
Aria shifted awkwardly.
Finally, he spoke. Looking at his watch “You’re late.”
Her eyebrows shot up and She quickly checked her phone.
“It’s 8:59.”
Adrian slowly looked up.
His eyes were sharp, grey, and completely unreadable.
“Yes,” he said calmly.
“My work day starts at 8:45.”
Aria stared at him.
Seriously?
“Well,” she said carefully, “nobody told me that.”
A dangerous silence filled the room.
Employees had warned her Adrian Frost was terrifying.
But she hadn’t expected him to look this… intense.
He studied her for a long moment.
“You’re Aria Bello.”
“Yes.”
“Your resume says you’re stubborn.”
Her eyes widened.what the hell
“My resume does not say that.”
Adrian leaned back slightly.
“It doesn’t need to.”
Something about the way he said it made Aria’s temper flare.
She crossed her arms.
“Well your reputation says you're impossible to work with.”
The air in the office froze.
For a second, Adrian looked genuinely shocked.
Nobody spoke to him like that.
Ever.Then something unexpected happened.
He smiled.But it wasn’t a friendly smile.It was the kind a predator makes before a hunt.
“This is going to be interesting,” he said quietly.
Aria felt a strange chill run down her spine.She had a sudden feeling she had just stepped into a storm.And Adrian Frost was the center of it.
Silence! Silence everywhere
Aria thought to her self "umm Adrian. Frost where is my office I mean where do I stay."

Adrian raised an eyebrow " Did you first of ALL! Call me by my name?"
"No"
"Go outside. Some one will escort you" he said in a cold way eyeing her up and down.
Aria feeling very uncomfortable with they way he was looking at her spoke " what are you looking at what's your deal!"

" Don't come to this office tomorrow wearing this again"
"What what's wrong with my dressing" Aria asked..she was dressed cooperate and alluring. Her shirt was open making her breast pop out a little and her skirt was so fitted on her to the extent where her shape was so visible and it made her bum huge.
Adrian Pressed a button talking to someone on the phone which made aria more confused and annoyed.
" She will get you the company clothes"
"She? And who is this she your talking about sir"
" Elena. She's in charge of the company clothes"
"Company clothes?" Aria suddenly remembered that when she was coming she saw employees wearing the same thing according to their job.
Adrian didn't respond he just said
"Hmm get out!"
Rude animal. Aria thought to her self.
.............
Outside the office, a man leaning against the hallway wall watched everything.
Lucas Knight.
Adrian’s best friend and Vice President of Frost Global.
He had overheard the entire conversation.
Lucas chuckled softly.
“Well,” he murmured to himself.
“That girl just declared war on the most dangerous man in the city.”
And somehow…
He had a feeling this was only the beginning.
Annoyed by what he said Adrian asked" what are you doing here don't you have your own office "
" I do but I came to see how you were coping. You know you can't screw this up if not the CEO title goes to your step brother. So yeah I wanted to give you emotional support"

"Umm the last time I checked I've been the CEO for 2 year now and because of me this company is now leading as the first in the whole country and 3rd world wide."

Lucas laughed. " Did u have to narrate the whole story Adrian"
"What's funny?"
"Never mind let's talk about your sexy assistant" Lucas said.
"Are you mad? What's there to talk about"
"Mmmm I like her" said Lucas
"Her vibe, the way she talks and She's very pretty." Lucas said smiling.
"Lucas are you drunk. You just saw someone for the first time and you like them"
"Nah this isn't the first time. I've met her and her friend in a club before"

"Club?"
"Yeah apparently she was working there before. So there was a day she was being harassed by her boss,so I went over there and you know all those kind of things. I just protected her. She thanked me blah blah blah. Though it seemed she could have protected her self with me. So I told her about the company and how you my friend needed an assistant."
"So that's how she became my assistant!!!"
"Adrian why are you yelling " Lucas said smirking
"I should have known it was you. Your taste is so bad that you had to bring it to work Lucas"

"Chill... Trust me she's the one for the job" Lucas said leaving the office.

Club? Adrian thought to him self
What kind of work did she do there. Was it serving old men or was it a waitress job or was it stripping?. "Why didn't I ask Lucas all this"
Sigh

ARIA POV
" Umm hello. I'm guessing you must be Mrs Elena"

"Yeah I am dear." Elena smiled beautifully. "And you must be Ms Aria "

"Yes ma'am that's right. I'm Aria Bello and I heard from my boss that you are in charge of clothes or something like that. Am I going to wear a uniform?"

Mrs Elena laughed " seems you are a little confused there.buh lemme explain a little....well... only people that do um assistant jobs or the one's in the lawyers department are the one's who wear uniforms.

"Uhhhh" laughs nervously "oh I get it now...so umm where can I see mine ma'am."

"Girl..just call me Elena and here" she hands her a clothes. "Her are your clothes...are these your size?"

"Umm lemme try it on" Aria replied looking at the cloth

"Umm apparently the rule hear state's that your supposed to know your clothe size because change of clothes ain't allowed."

"What? How do I, how will I know."

"Just size them up and take the one that you think is your perfect size."

"Okay I'll go with these.

Elena smiles warmly " your welcome Aria darling"
