The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

~ At Sy Residence ~

A man in his mid-20s was sitting inside his study, facing his laptop screen. Even the way he sat on his chair exuded confidence and power. He was emanating a cold and frightening aura, enough to intimidate everyone.

His face was stern, having a pair of deep-set brown eyes matched with a pointy nose and square jaw. If he would just smile, cute intriguing sexy dimples would appear on the right and left sides of his mouth.

Unfortunately, this man seldom smiled, often frowning while wearing his cold and aloof expression.

His dark eyebrows complimented his eyes very well, making him look fierce. One glance from him could either melt a woman's heart or intimidate her.

Even his hairstyle which was crew cut signified that he wanted to be in control of everything. Just like other corporate men, he was also clean-shaven.

He was Clifford Sy, the rising CEO of the Sy Corps. He was also one of the famous handsome young businessmen in the City of Empire.

If Tristan was the happy-go-lucky type of CEO, Clifford was a complete opposite of Tristan because he was a very serious and aloof type of CEO. He was strict and not easy to deal with because of his unapproachable behavior.

When it came to beauty, he was not on par with Tristan. He also had a unique charm and sex appeal that could attract women despite his very cold personality.

They said after failing in love once, Clifford's heart became stone-cold and woman-hater. Because of the betrayal of his fiancee, he had sworn to himself not to trust women again and never to fall in love again.

Women and dating became a taboo topic to him. He spent his time, making their company big and successful. And his goal: to surpass the Heavenly Star Enterprise.

He was not only competing against that big well-known company. This was also part of his revenge. He wanted to bring down Tristan Davis, his sworn nemesis… the person who caused his heartbreak and the main reason for the betrayal of his fiancee.

Clifford was engrossed doing something with his laptop when he heard the knocking sound outside his door.

"Come in," Clifford said, giving permission to the person outside to enter his study.

The door was opened and Alveena emerged from it. Her smiling face greeted Clifford's eyes the moment he shifted his gaze from his laptop to the person who came inside.

"Hello, my dear brother! Your assistant called me, saying you wanted to see me, that's why I am here," Alveena said with her cheerful voice. She walked over to sit down on the vacant chair near Clifford's table.

Clifford frowned upon seeing her sister wearing her denim pants and simple plain white shirt matched with her leather black jacket.

"Where have you been again? Don't tell me you joined a street race again, Alveena?" Clifford asked her with his stern cold voice.

Alveena just scratched her face and smiled at him sheepishly. "Brother, why are you so worked up? Can you calm down and relax? You look older than your actual age because you are always grumpy. Can you change your attitude so that I can finally meet my sister-in-law?"

Alveena teased his brother instead of answering his question. She knew that her brother would never forget to scold her.

She was already used to his personality. He would always be her strict nagging brother. He even replaced their mother's role for that.

Thinking about that, their mother should be the one nagging and scolding her, and her older brother should be the one spoiling her. But it was the opposite.

The crease in his forehead deepened upon hearing Alveena's last remarks. His face darkened in annoyance and irritation.

Clifford extended his right hand in front of her, saying "Give me your car keys. You're grounded for one week. Not allowed to use your sports car."

Alveena's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Eh?!! Why? I didn't do anything wrong. Why are you grounding me?" Alveena whined, complaining to her brother.

But Clifford didn't waver. "One month!"

He was glaring at her. Alveena forgot that she was not supposed to talk about a girl in front of him or either mention the words like sister-in-law.

She ruined his mood that's why Clifford was punishing her now by grounding her and collecting her car keys.

"Brother!!! That's not fair. I will inform Mom and Dad about this. You're becoming unreasonable." Alveena spat back at him, putting her arms on her waist.

Clifford just smirked at her but there was no hint of humor in that smile. It was a kind of smile that could threaten anyone.

"Alveena, you know the fact that Dad and Mom will listen to me, not you. Though they are spoiling you too much, once I say the word, they will not argue with me."

Alveena pouted after hearing that. Her brother was right. That's the reason why she was somehow afraid of him.

In their home, his brother's words served as the Rule. Breaking his rule only meant punishment and consequence.

Now, she wondered what rule she had broken this time. After a few seconds of thinking, Alveena gasped, covering her mouth as she realized her mistake.

"Brother, forgive this hot-tongue of your talkative sister. It was just a slip of the tongue. Please just forget about what I have said a while ago. Please, handsome brother. Please!" Alveena rubbed both hands in front of her brother while giving him a pleading look.

Clifford's expression was still unreadable. Alveena didn't know whether her charm worked on her brother or not. He was just staring at him with a blank expression while lifting an eyebrow.

"Please, brother… please," She begged again with her puppy-eyed look.

Clifford just took a deep sigh and glanced back at his laptop's screen.

"Start working at our company tomorrow. Stop messing around Alveena. You lived your carefree life for five years now. You have to start learning about managing our family business." Clifford was dead serious now.

Alveena felt like crying. She didn't want that but her brother's decision was already final. He won't give her freedom now. Now he was giving her some responsibilities in managing their company.

She could only nod her head, "Alright, brother. I understand."
