Annie's eyes popped out, she rushed to her brother who lay as if thou he was lifeless. One of the guys held her back. She fought back tears, struggling herself away from his hard grip."Let her be" the devilish looking man who she assumed to be their leader commanded and the guy who held her let her be.
She wanted to run to her brother who still lay still but Mr devil was quick to close the gap between them. He now had on a black mask on his face.Annie wondered why was that.She couldn't see through his face but she can feel the fact that those cold unfeeling eyes of his were piercing through her body. It was very obvious."Let my brother go, you beast" Annie yelled at him, she even spat at him.
He let out an evil grin and held her chin, pressing her against the wall."Do you know what I did to the last person that spat at me?" He asked."Why should I care to knowRelated chapters

Travis eyelid opened to bright light of the day. He got off the bed and walked into the bathroom. He stood under the shower for long, different thoughts running through his mind. He thinks of nothing asides his chains of company. Now that Ran Yu, his strongest competitor is back in town, Travis has every reasons to double his efforts.He came out of the shower, in an expensive blue robe. He carefully removed the diamond earrings in his ears and place them on the table stand. He had forgotten to remove them before sleeping yesterday's night.Thinking of what to eat, he heard a knock at the door of his bedroom. He knew who it was, it was Mine. The only maid he has kept for years and the only reason he kept her was because she is an old woman, old enough to be his mother. If it were to be some young ladies, Travis was sure he wouldn't come. Before, he had always had young ladies around as maids but what they all did was to seduce him and he hat

Annie sat alone in front of a fountain, her mind flash back to the time at the restaurant. She remembered the moment the mysterious man kissed her. "I should have slapped him hard" she bit her lip in regret. She was in deep thought when she suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice call her name. "Good morning, Annie. I'm Lila, Lila Santiago. Would it be possible to talk to you? In private," the unfamiliar voice asked. She was a woman in her late fifty's. Annie nodded innocently and Lila sat beside her on the bench. She removed her sun shades and faced Annie with a smile. "Do you come to the bay often?" She asked. "Excuse me?," Annie pouted, wondering why the stranger woman picked interest in speaking with her without knowing her from nowhere. "We all have our secret spots. I also had a place like this in my youth,"Lila started a friendly conversation. "And then?," Annie smirks. "I realized

Annie couldn't sleep at night. Her brother's tormentor had called several times, threatening him that he had three more days to pay up his debt, else they would come to take Annie away.Annie needed someone to talk to and so she snuck out of window and rush off to see her best friend, Hana.Hannah was surprised after she narrated everything."Are you serious? That's not possible! What kind of a man is he? Handsome or ugly, tall or short, kind or cold?. What if he is some kind of a psycho?" Hannah asked.."Now you're scarring me. Maybe I should say no. Why do I always end up in situations like this?" Annie sobbed.Hannah rubbed her shoulders. "Annie listen to me. You're looking for work, take it. Say yes. How else will you survive if you don't take it?""What if something happens to me Hannah? The guy can abuse me or kidnap and sell me, what if he's some beast or drug lord?

"Speak up" Travis urged, his eyes staring back into hers only. He hoped she would say what he wanted to hear.Annie knew it was better to keep quiet and not remind him that she was the girl he kissed at the restaurant."Come on, speak up" his masculine voice vibrated in her ears. It was a ragged command. He approached her slowly."You're almost naked!" She shouted, her eyes glued to the tattoo on his right arm. His tattoo was beautiful.Travis scoffed. He knew he was no where close to nakedness, he had on his joggers and he was shirtless and that's because he just left the gym. "I will be right back. I will go get my shirt" he glanced at her once and left.Immediately he left, Annie slammed her forehead, wondering what she has really gotten herself into."Why him? Oh god!" She muttered, close to tears because she knows she knew she was into real trouble. She only hope he doesn't remember her.

"Rose? Which Rose?" Annie asked innocently."I see" Travis replied and walked out if the elevator.* * * * * * ** * * * * * ** * * * * * ** * * * * * *"Travis why did you change the models?" Shirley asked but Travis eyes was elsewhere. She traced his eyes and it turned out he was staring at Annie whose office was opposite to his. He was staring at her through the transparent demarcation.Shirley didn't know what to say or feel at that moment, she could only sheath inwardly."How.....is your new assistant doing?" She asked, anger in her mind.Travis looked away immediately. "Annie? I don't know. She is new. She just starred" he replied absent mindedly.Shirley let out a smile. "Where did she work before?""You will have to ask Luke. You know he is the one that hired Annie fir me and he is the one in charge of personnel" Travis replied."I know sweetie" she replied."Hmm Tr

Annie woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of her beeping phone. She has missed lots of messages from Mrs Santiago."You didn't call""Why aren't you answering my calls?""What happened?""I want to know everything""I'm coming over""Come downstairs, I'm waiting"Annie frowned at the missed messages. The woman wants her to come out so late at night."Now I'm in trouble" Annie muttered, jumping out of the bed at the same time. She quickly fit her legs into her flip flop and rush out if her apartment to the street. She was quick to see Mrs Lila's car packed at a distant from her apartment."Evening ma'am" Annie greeted, rushing towards her."Come here, hurry up" Lila ordered her, authoritatively."Tell me, what happened at the office? What did he do? I hope you didn't ruin it? Did he say anything about your new ringtone? Dud you tell him it's rose of Seville, go on tell

"I hate squash.....I hate you" he whispered and that was the final straw..He moved away from her in a swift, she also quickly went to grab her back and pretended as if nothing happened, she pretends she didn't hear the words he said to her.The both approached the door at the same time. She stopped at the door, backing it in other to face him. Even though he kept pushing her away, she still wants to try push it once more."I wanted to ask you something." She bit her lower lip."And that is?," Travis furrowed his brows."I have to ask you, we've met before. It might be a coincidence. Do you remember that we've met before?" She asked."When and where?," Travis asked, flatly.Annie went dumb. Since he doesn't remember, why then does she needs to remind him. Even if he knows, nothing is gonna change between them. He only kissed her to get away from another woman. He wanted a trick at that moment and she was th

He placed her foot gently on his leg. "Bring me the first aid kit" he ordered. He opened his bottled water and used it to wash her foot carefully. Annie was surprised that the grumpy CEO could be so caring. "I'm very sorry, Sir. I didn't mean it. It was an accident. I tripped and knock the model into the water by accident" Annie said, pleadingly. "Bring me the first aid kit or do I have to keep yelling" Travis said, it was a ragged command. "Do you see what he is doing? His assistant is getting all his attention while he is ignoring me. A little fall won't kill her. What's up with that?" Shirley said, really pained. "What do you want him to do? Ignore her? Just relax" Luke replied. Shirley hissed and walked away. One of the staff brought the first aid kit. Travis collected it and dropped it on the nearby stand. "When I talk to you and you don't answer, I feel e

"what's happening?" He raised his brows suspiciously at how close they stood. He wondered what was with the look with Travis. Annie hastily moved away. "Nothing. We were....just cooking and we are already done. The Italians should be here any moment from now" she rushed words, nervously.Luke had caught Travis spoon feeding her. "Yeah..." Luke replied, maintaining an eye contact with Travis.Travis dropped the plate and tucked his hand in his pants pocket."I will go get ready" he replied and walked out of the kitchen.Luke faced Annie who looked away immediately."Are you okay?" He asked."Me??? I'm fine" she smiled and made to leave the kitchen but he appeared in her face."Are you sure? Did Travis hurt you? You look so uncomfortable" he said. Annie blew herself with her palm."I'm fine.... Can I?" She asked.Luke excused her and she walked out of the kitchen. That was a huge relief.She recalled all that happened before Luke c

"listen carefully, she will probably be here for 30 minutes, then another 30 minutes to drive back. Take your time, I know you can do it" Mrs Santiago assured Scott."I don't like this, Mrs Santiago. I don't think I can do it" Scott replied over the phone."You will manage my dear. Has she left yet?" She asked."She is on her way" he replied on seeing Shirley heading towards the elevator."Let her come" Lila grinned and dropped the call."Ohh hmmm" Scott quickly picked a new design cloth and pretended to be doing something with it."Scott" Shirley called. She walked up to him"What are you doing? Aren't you suppose to be in the computer department?" She asked."You should know work never stops. I'm trying to keep up to date with the new stuffs, dear. Otherwise people will walk all over me" he replied.Shirley laughed. "Always a joker. I take it you don't have a lot of work to do for today or you had been on a shoot on a beach un

Annie turned slightly and saw a glimpse of the grumpy CEO behind her. She wasn't sure if he was really staring at her or at something else."You must be thinking too much" a voice said in her heart.The man is so hard hearted and wouldn't stare at someone like her. At times, she had wondered if she would be able to do what she signed for. How the hell is it possible to get pregnant with his child within six months! She turned again and this time, their eyes made contact which she quickly broke by blinking. "Hello, sir?""This menu won't work. I want to add things but they are not allowed to. Please tell them to listen to me. It has no tea or coffee. How could that be?" She asked. "Alex will go get some" he replied."Hmm...I was in the bathroom just now, there are no guest towels. Maybe we should get them some slippers too?" She suggested. "Okay, stay calm. I will get the slippers" he replied. He faced the guys working on the preparation of

Travis walked into the company relieved. He doesn't know where the relief he had came from. Where ever it came from, he was glad it came at the right time he needed it badly. "Travis are the Italians coming this evening?" Luke asked, coming his way."I believe so, Annie is busy with preparation in my house" he answered"good to hear. I'm glad you took her back" Luke said. "That's not important. What are we going to show the Italians when they arrive is the most important thing now" Travis retorts "You will show them what you've got. What else can we do? Nothing, Travis" Luke pacified."Any news about the shoe?" Travis raised his brows, hopefully."Not yet but I will find out. Prepare yourself for the worst" he tapped his shoulders."Do you think the designs got to Ran Yu ?" Travis asked. "It's possible" Luke answeredJust then, Shirley cat walked towards them."Gentle men, are we ready for our guests?" She asked with a smiling fac

Scott tip toed into Shirley's office. It was a very difficult task for him to ensure that no one saw him sneaking into another's staff office."Mrs Santiago, have entered. Where should I search?" he asks over the phone. "That nonsense...you're not searching well. It has to be in her office. The shoes have to be there" Mrs Santiago replied and Scott started searching Shirley's office. Unknown to him, Shirley already arrived in the company and was already at the receptionist. She had on a smiling face as she said Hi to whoever comes her way. "Did you hear me?" Mrs Santiago asked."Yes I did" he mouthed."Listen carefully, stop fussing around. If you look under her desk, there are set of drawers, check them" Lila ordered."This one is locked" he answered."Force it open...." She replied."Argh, I can't do it Mrs Santiago" he said."Uhm...I can feel my blood pressure riding and my nerves are shattered, Scott. Just open the drawer okay!" She s

Annie returned home that evening feeling so fulfilled. The fact the Travis pleaded with her made her felt so special. She's glad she is gaining his trust little by little but then she felt sad. "What if one day he finds out that she is just in his life for money?""Annie, you have a visitor" Selena interrupted her thoughts."Who?" Annie asked, snapping out of her thoughts as fast as possible.She fit her feet into her flip flop and rushed outside. Mr Thomas Santiago was the visitor."Good evening" Annie greeted, wondering why the man had visited her."Can we talk?" He asked."Oh yeah, do you want to come inside?" She asked."No, can we go else where?" He asked."Here is okay" Annie said and quickly spread a cloth on the chair. Her blue eyes glistened as she waited for what he has to say to her."Tell me, where were the shoes in the meantime?" He asked."I had them. I went to the office, then I went to the bathroom and then to his

Shirley stood in a corner, watching Annie discussing calmly with the receptionist. Emily appeared in her face, distracting her from watching the duo. "Mr Santiago is interagating all the employee about the stolen shoe" Emily uttered.Shirley took Emily's hand and pushed her away from her sight so she could continue watching the duo."What's that for?" Emily asked. She trailed Shirley's eyes and it landed on Annie."Ohhh" she mouthed."Don't you want to publish it in the papers? What do you think? Word for word" Shirley said."Not a word. We don't know anything, do we?" Emily asked. "Mmmm" Shirley hummed."I think Luke is really anxious" Emily added."Forget about him, have you seen Travis?" Shirley asked."He got angry and left. Maybe he would be back soon" Emily replied. "Is Travis in the office? What did you mean I can't go in? I'm here to see him" Annie yelled at the receptionist. She had first spoke to her calmly but she refu

In TS corporation, there was tension, each and every staffs were being careful not to make a mistake. Not even this time that their boss is looking very furious."Should we can the police, Travis?" Luke asked, bringing a new suggestion."The stolen goods have no value. Calling the police won't help" Travis replied. He was dressed in a simple and very casual outfit of black t-shirt on a black dark jean trouser with a black face cap. He had on a single diamond bracelet. A lot has been on his mind lately. He hasn't even been thinking straight."Listen, suppose Ran Yu stole the shoes. If they start producing the shoes, it will be the end of us!" Luke exclaimed."What are we going to do?" Travis ran his fingers into his hair."Wait a minute. Draco works in their production unit, let me find out if anything is going on today" Luke said, bringing out his phone in a swift to make a call.

"You should be ashamed of yourself. I took pity on you and this is the thanks that I get!. You stole the shoes!" Mrs Santiago yelled at Annie, who had on a teary face."Do you have any idea many strings I had to pull to get you in there? How I had to twist the truth? How could you do that""Ma'am, I did nothing wrong I swear" Annie said, trying to convince the angry woman."Shush!" Lila silenced her."I paid you what you asked for. Not even a cent less. The money I paid you is equivalent to an entire neighborhood income plus they pay you salary too. I buy you the latest shoes and cloths. Tell me, why did you steal the shoes?""I swear I didn't steal the shoes. I took the box and got into the car, the ln I drove from there to Mr Santiago's mansion to pick his tuxedo and went back to the office. I used the bathroom before going to give him the box" Annie explained, truthfully."Why did you steal it? Don't you have enough? How could you do th
