The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 108: A Night with Aria

It was 3.00 am when Victor reached the residential island. this was the same one he lived in before. but his new mansion was located a little far away from his fatherʼs.

Although Victor was tempted to give his mother a surprise visit, he chose to go toward his own mansion. It was too late right now.

When he entered the mansion he was greeted by Kai who stood up with little difficulty and bowed. He seemed to have been napping on the sofa. He had a red slap mark on his cheek, and Victor quickly recognized it as Lilyʼs hand. He must have tried to boss her around, or maybe look behind her veil. If he had tried anything more than that, Victor was sure that his corpse would be discovered in the morning.

He didnʼt blame him, on the contrary, he felt sorry for him. Lilyʼs beauty can make men do unreasonable things. And Looking at the awkward way he stood up, Victor doubted this man would have the courage to do it again.

”Young master, how was your business?ʼ Kai asked after a cough.

”Fruitful,” Victor answered as he looked around with a frown. ”Where is Lily? ʼʼ he asked. He expected her to be waiting for him like usual.

”Ah, she told me to inform you that she would spend the night with her sisters in the master bedroom. And that you should use Aria instead of her today.” Kai answered the gulped. And touched his crotch with a painful expression.

”Oh, Where is Aria then?” Victor asked as he smirked. Lily understands his intentions.

”She is sleeping in the third room to the left on the second story,” Kai replied.

”Anything else?” Victor asked as he noticed that Kai had something else to say.

”Itʼs just that your esteemed mother called and wanted to invite you for dinner, but Miss Lily took the liberty to tell her that you were busy spending the night with your new maids and you would go there for breakfast. I tried to correct her but... she slapped me.” Kai said in one breath as if he was some schoolboy telling on his classmate.

”Is that all you really did?” Victor asked as he squinted his eyes making Kai sweat.

”I may have knocked out her veil while trying to take the phone from her hand,” Kai replied with an aggrieved voice.

”Oh, then you deserve it. I will punish her later anyway. But it is better this way,” He said making Kai more aggravated.

Victor nodded then headed to the kitchen under Kai’s complex look.

”Oh, and Lilyʼs commands are the same as mine, remember that, You should call her Mistress from now on,” Victor said as he left the room, Making Kai sweat even more.

In the kitchen, he found nothing to eat. Despite having complete furniture and appliances this mansion was not stocked with food yet. So he took a pack from his storage ring and prepared a cup of hot chocolate for Aria. He knew that she acted tough, but she was very fragile and would not be able to sleep easily.

...

He was right, Aria lay on the bed staring at the decorated ceiling as tears fell from her eyes.

She felt utter despair right now. She was sad about her mother. About the whole thing. And didnʼt know what to do in her life. Maybe Victor would be bored with her after playing for a few months and then let her go free to do whatever she wants. Maybe not. All Von Weise males are very possessive.

Would Victor sleep with her tonight? She wondered with a light blush as she turned to face the wall. She only had one boyfriend before. He courted her for three whole years in college. Despite accepting his confession, she didnʼt let him touch her. It was to protect him from her family as she was sure her father would kill him if he touched her without his approval. But that fool got angry and they broke up.

Victor was not bad at all. Although somewhat of a pervert, he was really handsome. But because she thought he was her brother she never dared to think of him this way before.

She was wondering if tonight would be her first when she suddenly felt someone sit on the bed behind her.

Ah... is it Victor? She recognized his unique smell. Why didn’t he knock on the door? She didnʼt know what to do but nervously feigned to be asleep.

”If you want to feign sleeping you better take your hand out of there,” he said, making hastily pulling her hand back as she blushed deeply when she realized what she was unconsciously doing while thinking about him.

”I know that you are awake. Sit up and drink this..” Victor said, making her bashfully sit down and look at him with hesitation.

”Take this, ʼʼ he said, giving her one of two cups in his hands.

She took it and looked inside wondering what kind of drugs he put inside. Does it matter?

“There is nothing in it, But you seem to be yearning for me to drug you.” He said with a smile making her blush again while choosing to remain silent.

“Don’t worry. I already told you. I will not touch you unless you ask me for that.” He said, “I just wanted to talk to you and ask you. What do you want to do from now on?” He asked.

“Whatever the young master wants.” She said with a low voice while watching the steam coming out of her cup. She felt some disappointment. Why am I thinking that? She wondered.

“How about you become the manager of all my businesses?” He asked. Making her look at him with surprise.

“Do you trust me enough for that?” She asked.

“The system has decided that you are a good merchant. And I trust the system. Let’s start with the business in Vein city. That’s all I have now anyway.” He said as he suddenly put his hand around her shoulders and hugged her.

“I told you. From now on we are a family.” He said, making her blush.

“Today would be your first mission, Dear Lily has given her position to you so you better cherish it.” He said as he pushed the surprised Aria onto the bed and then hugged her.

“You said you wouldn’t touch me.” She said in a low timid voice.

“This is not touching. This is just hugging a new pillow,” he said as he fell asleep, he was really tired after using his disguise skill all night. It drained his stamina completely.

Aria was embarrassed, she didn’t get what he meant until she heard his snores. Slept? Really? Just Like that? She didn’t know what to do, but strangely she felt peaceful.

“Maybe it is not that bad after all.” She thought as she dozed off in his embrace.

…

“See, I told you. My young master is the best.” Lily said proudly, to her sisters who were hanging from the roof outside the room’s window while peeping into Victor and Aria’s conversation.

“But he still hugged her to sleep.” A girl said.

“He will hug you all sooner or later. But he will not force you. He is much better than that scumbag Guy.” Lily retorted.

“We know.” The girls said with a blush, Their new young master was really handsome.

“But why did he tell that piece of shit butler to call you mistress?” another girl asked Lily making her blush.

“Well… He said that he wants me to be his main wife.” Lily said with a heavy blush making all the girls gasp. They knew what the main wife meant in such a family. It was a very high position that meant she could represent him. and only a few family members would give such a position to any of their wives.

“Don’t tell anyone about this.” She warned them as they climbed down.

“Should we get rid of the butler?” one girl asked. “How dare he try to look at big sister.”

“No, I punished him enough, but if he tried anything to any of you just tell me. Next time I will cut it altogether.” She said looking at a faraway corner before dragging her sisters to the master bedroom. It’s been a while since they slept together.

…

Kai left the shadow of the corner while sweating. He decided that he should keep his distance from this crazy girl.

”But damn, she’s beautiful.” he thought. As he went to find a doctor. Her kick was not light at all, and if it were not for his formidable defense he might have become a eunuch.

…

Alex was standing on the balcony of her room whilst cursing. That f*cking Margret was going to drive her crazy.

Not only did she keep bothering her all night. She even broke into her room and drilled into the bed with her. Insisting that she is a girl. She was definitely doing this as revenge because she spanked her.

Thankfully Alex was able to discover Margret before she could start touching all over her body. “Damn her! Slut!” She cursed as took out her spear intending to do some warm-ups to let out some steam when suddenly she noticed a movement in the woods below.

Although the night was dark, Alex’s enhanced eyes could make out a few men who were approaching the mansion from the forest.

Alex didn’t panic. He quickly touched the bracelet that Hilda gave him and pressed the button on it.

“We have intruders. About 30 Mortals, maybe more.” He said,

“Roger,” The reply came.

“I will move first.” He said as he jumped from the balcony to the forest. Ignoring Hilda’s protesting voice coming from the communication device.

The first man didn’t know what hit him. And the second one only saw a spear cutting his neck.

…

The battle lasted 3 hours, and that was because of Alex who stood with her face down in shame while Hilda berated her.

“I told you we need to trap them first. Thanks to you we had to hunt them in the forest all night.” Hilda said as she looked at the bodies. They were all muscular males and they had similar tattoos. A black Lotus. gangsters. The young master did say something about the Lotus gang.

“What if one of them was a player? Have you ever thought of that?” Hilda yelled again after taking a deep breath.

“I am strong enough.” Alex protested as she flexed her muscles.

“But the girls arenʼt. What if those guys ran into one of them after they ran away from you.” Hilda asked, pointing to the frightened girl who was forced by her to move the bodies to build their resistance.

“I am sorry,” Alex nodded with tears in her eyes, having realized her mistake.

“What if they had fire weapons or bombs?” She asked.

“One of them had a gun, but I cut his hand,” Alex said, making Hilda look at her more fiercely.

“Be careful next time,” Hilda said as she sighed. This mansion was severely understaffed and under guarded. It was not fit to be an elite heir’s residence. But again, in the history of the family, when has a mansion of theirs been attacked in the last 30 years? Especially in a major city. It never happened. Who dares to do it?

What sh*t luck. The young masterʼs mansion was attacked twice in one week!

She is going to find out who was behind this, and she will make sure that they pay the price. She swore as she looked around.

“Now where is that girl Margret? Didn’t she hear the alert?” She asked.

“Ahh… It may be my fault. I totally forgot about her.” Alex said while sweating as she ran back to the mansion to untie poor Margret who was left tied like a dumpling in the room.
