Chapter: Chapter 138: Entrap Me, Miss WilsonAmber picked up her setting spray and splashed it on her face. She had spent the last two hours adding flashy makeup to her face, and she couldn’t sleep all night as she had contemplated the abortion several times, but she was still indecisive after coming up with fifty reasons why she shouldn’t keep it.It didn’t help matters that Liam hadn’t called her since two days ago that she missed his call, she didn’t call him too as her conscience kept prickling her, probably Liam was pulling out after his encounter with Diane the previous day, she couldn’t be sure but one thing was certain, she wasn’t ready to trap him with an unplanned pregnancy.She wore her five-inch heels and made for the door. She turned back to the mirror to double-check her effort, and it all looked perfect as if she was on her way to a red carpet event. On a day like this, she craved some alcohol, but she knew it would be a terrible idea, considering she was heading in for surgery.“You look stunning Miss Wilson”.He

Chapter: Chapter 137: To The BattlefieldLiam opened his eyes slightly as he heard Amber's loud yell over the phone, he saw Diane hovering over him and consequently jolted up in awe. She looked over at him and smiled sweetly. To further worsen the crime, she had him bound to the chair.“Sweetheart, was your dream pleasant?”Liam scoffed loudly and tried to remove his shackle but obviously Diane had done a great job of fitting it tightly enough to resist breakage.“How could I when I woke up to such an irritating sight as you”?Diane picked up her bag and swayed her hips; she acted unaffected by his spiteful words; Liam contemplated taunting her further, but remembering how temperamental Diane could be, he decided against it. She didn’t say anything and just walked out of the door leaving him stranded.A few minutes later, Adrian and Amber rushed in, breathing heavily; relief flooded their minds as they met him unharmed, with tears in her eyes; Amber started untying him while uttering inaudible curses under her breath, which

Chapter: Chapter 136: Love Me AgainDiane stood in Liam's way smiling sweetly at him. Liam felt irritated from the depth of his heart; Amber was in danger; he needed to be there.“Where are you headed in such a rush?”“None of your concern Miss Donaldson”.Diane scoffed loudly; hearing Liam refer to her as that infuriated her. She adjusted her stance exuding dominance. She was certain he was aware of her leveling up and dining with the upper authority now; she had to live up to it.“I need to talk to you; let us go back to your office, Liam”.Liam checked his Rolex watch as his heart was beating loudly. He was about to yank Diane out of his way when his phone rang and he picked it up instantly.“What is the situation?” He questioned suspiciously looking into Diane's amused face.“It is all under control. Don't come, Mr Hickson”, Adrian said calmly.“I have Miss Donaldson right in my face here”, Liam pointed out.“Great! Keep her occupied. Don't worry, Liam, I will keep Amber safe”.Liam dropped the call while still star

Chapter: Chapter 135: Caught UnawareThe evening wind blew in Rissa's face allowing her to inhale the healing nature has to offer. She slightly touched the strangle mark on her neck as her mind drifted to it.“Are you okay?” Adrian questioned worriedly. Her quietness had made him uncomfortable and he blamed himself for risking her life by bringing her to the party.“Who would be okay after a conversation with the devil”.Rissa said sarcastically and Adrian laughed. They had all exchanged uncomfortable looks when Mr Denver had requested that they hand over something of his in their possession.Amber had discreetly drawn out her dagger from her undergarment in case they got attacked right there, but to their surprise, Mr Denver laughed hysterically and called his word a sick joke.The joke was really depressing in reality!He had left their table afterward and focused his attention on mingling with other guests. Relief flooded their minds, and they planned their quick exit before they got whisked into something dangerous t

Chapter: Chapter 134: Hello Mastermind!The older man chuckled softly as the reaction he got from them was exactly what he was hoping for. Adrian exchanged knowing looks with Liam who was as taken aback as he was.“Seeing the top two business Mongols and competitors sticking side by side, Miss Donaldson must really be something”.“We are…..” Amber tried to cut in, but Liam stopped her discreetly. Obviously, they aren't at a tea party trying to gain ground. This mastermind is unknown, they shouldn't match up to him yet.“Oh, Miss Wilson, I heard your parents passed away last year; my condolences.”Amber swallowed hard; who the hell was this man? He seemed to be conversant with them so well that he acted so familiar, yet they had never met him before. Amber was not the type to be big on surprises, and she most definitely hated this particular one.“Do you run a company too?” Adrian's voice came through; he tried to sound confident and firm despite his heart thumping loudly in his chest.“Nah! I don't like the business world;

Chapter: Chapter 133: The Uninvited GuestsWith another glance at the mirror, Diane felt proud of herself; a few times she visited an exquisite spa, her skin was glowing and radiant once again. The makeup artist had done a flawless job which made her look beyond perfect.It was her day, she kept reminding herself despite knowing her birthday party was a mere facade. It was a gathering of murderers hiding behind the mask of the law.“Miss Donaldson, the party is about to commence”, Her personal assistant reported to her.“Thank you Bridgette”, she responded enthusiastically. The fair-skinned petite girl bowed slightly and left.Being a puppet ain't all that bad, unlike Sydney, who tried to play the princess; Diane knew her place better and was ready to stick to it. She definitely owes them her life for getting out of her crime unscratched.Strangely enough, her victim committed suicide out of guilt for framing her in the first place. His suicide note was detailed enough to include that piece of information.Diane stood up abrup
