From inside a mansion study, Orion was sitting in front of his table, pleased with the document in his hand. His men performed well, following his specific instructions to acquire shares from BNX International. Moreover, he prepared gold bars from Aeros for that evening.
It wasn't a special day, but a party was held at the Bardins to celebrate both the birthdays of Victor Bardin's daughters, Anna and Esmée Bardin.
Orion meant to finally be known to Esmée that evening, and he was dressed to kill.
While the party was said to be for both Victor's daughter, Orion knew the truth. They never wanted to celebrate Esmée's birthday. She turned twenty-two last month. He scoffed, saying, "How can you celebrate my queen's birthday a month after?!"
Orion already self-declared Esmée to be his future wife and queen. There was nothing he would not do to make it happen.
