"Who the hell is Lily Lawson?" Lisa asked for the tenth time that evening. She had decided to take Ariana out to try and cheer her up and possibly get her to say what had been eating her up but nothing seemed to work. The only thing she was able to get was a name, Lily Lawson."I thought you said you knew all the Lawson's?" Ariana asked as she shoved a large spoon of ice cream into her mouth."I know who Lily Lawson is," Lisa said with a roll of her eyes. "I just keep asking who she is because it makes sense to ask. They do it all the time in movies..." She said.Ariana gave her a questioning look and the straight face Lisa had been trying to keep broke into laughter."Okay, fine I admit that makes no sense. But tell me, what happened. What did Lily Lawson do to you? You have been sulking since Monday! Its been four days and it's starting to eat at me too!" Lisa complained."Lisa, I don't know what to think... So how am I supposed to even explain it to you?" Ariana asked as another l
Ariana returned home from her ice cream trip with Lisa and moved sluggishly to her bedroom. All she wanted was to sleep and maybe she would forget all about her problems. The ice cream helped a bit but as soon as she got home and Lisa's supportive voice wasn't there she felt like the world was caving in on her and she had no one to save her.Literally she had no one. Her parents had stopped calling seeing that she had refused to pick their calls. She sometimes missed her father but she had to punish them for lying to her like that. She was working hard to make a living for herself and they were back there milking money from her like she was a slave.Ariana pulled off her sandals and changed into comfortable clothes. Not knowing what next to do she slumped on the bed hoping to sleep. She closed her eyes and tried to keep her mind blank. But each time images of Calhoun floated into her head. She stirred and turned around about sleep refused to come. Somehow she started getting images of
"I thought you'd be sleeping, where were you going?" Calhoun asked after they had settled into the foyer he sat on."I was going to make this," Ariana replied stirring her glass of milk.The television was playing on a low volume and they sat enjoying each other's warmth."Did you miss me so much that you couldn't sleep, love?" Calhoun asked Ariana wasn't staring at him but she could feel his devilish grin flashing down on her. Rather than smile, her brows met up as she remembered why she could not sleep in the first place. Their relationship was too complicated."Carl, what are we going to do about your family?" She asked in a small voice.Calhoun's breathing changed as his happy mood also vanished. "Forget about my family. They will have no choice but to accept you." He said firmly.Ariana was quiet. She contemplated if she should tell him about his aunt coming to threaten her in the office earlier in that week. Would it cause problems for them?"Besides, it's just my grandfather.
"Calhoun as much as I feel Lily went overboard, I can't let you get her arrested!" His grandfather reprimanded on the phone that morning.Police officers had marched to the house and they were requesting for Lily Lawson. My refused to leave her room and Benson had to go find his father so he could talk to them. At first Mr. Lawson Senior didn't want to intervene but he soon felt for his son and decided to speak to the police officers. He was shocked when they informed him that the orders were directly from Calhoun and they were instructed not to leave that house without her in handcuffs."Calhoun, she is your aunt!" He went on in anger. "Whatever happened between you two can't you solve it amicably? As a family!"Calhoun didn't want to speak that morning but this was his grandfather and he couldn't keep staying mute. The old man didn't deserve such treatment."Grandfather, first of all, Lily isn't my aunt! She isn't even my family! The last time I checked, she was just a woman your so
"I've missed this..." He moaned as he continued sucking unto the bundle of nerves from the top.Ariana was in her another realm as she curled her toes at the sensations that was passing through her body. Her fingers found their way into his hair and started to gently pull at it as her bottom lips went into her mouth.Calhoun slipped one of his hands into the shirt so he could feel her hardened nipples under his fingers. He couldn't still imagine the luck he had found himself in. Ariana was everything he had ever wished for in a partner and more. Pleasuring her was something he couldn't stop himself from doing. Her low moans were like music to his ears waking up the monster within his pants."You are so beautiful..." He mumbled as he moved the top over her head. His eyes settled on her perfect breasts and he couldn't help but smile. "Mine," he whispered possessively.Aria arched even further unable to wait anymore. She needed him to touch her and she was slowly growing impatient. She w
Chapter 114:"Get out of my way!" He growled ignoring Calhoun's question.Calhoun let out a chuckle that made Ethan hold back at what he was about to do. "What makes you think I am going to let you get through?!" He asked his voice resonating within the walks of the house. "Get out now or I'll be calling the police," he gritted and it wasn't an empty threat."You don't have to do that, I have called them already," Ariana said from behind him. Their noise had woken her up from the morning sleep she was trying to catch after that amazing sex they had.Ethan's eyes almost fell off his sockets as he looked at the blanket wrapped around her body and the towel on Calhoun. It was like a bomb had gone off in his head."Did you... Did you sleep with him?" He stuttered unable to even say out the words without feeling dizzy."That's my private life it has nothing to do with you! Please leave Ethan!" She told him off. Before Ethan could reply she moved closer to the door and pushed it closed whil
Chapter 115:Lily Lawson was pacing around in her room. She had just escaped humiliation by mere luck. "That boy dared to get me arrested!" She spat angrily."We need to act fast! That silly girl he brought home must have told him about your visit!" Benson said."Even if she did, so he wanted to arrest me for riling her up a bit? Shit!" Lily cried out. "Look at how low we have fallen Benson! I was almost arrested! Sent to orison! Oh my God!" She exclaimed holding her head.She had still been sleeping when the police had come knocking in their door. For the first time the police came to the Lawson's mansion and they had come for her. Not the foolish grandson Calhoun, but her!"Oh what embarrassment! Benson how can I face my friends now?" She cried out.Benson took a deep breathe and walked to his wife. He stopped her from moving about and held her shoulder. "Stop thinking so much about it. Nothing happened and that's what we should be grateful for. When all this us over, Calhoun will b
Chapter 116:Calhoun got the best real estate agents to search for a new apartment for Aria. She was now his responsibility. He couldn’t let her keep staying with those people she shared a building with. Plus that good for nothing ex-boyfriend of hers needed to be stopped. Calhoun didn’t care if he came from a wealthy family too, he would have to be stopped if he refused to stay away from Aria.He had just come out of a meeting with his associates when his phone rang out.“Calhoun Lawson,” he replied with authority.“Sir, Mr. Ethan is in the office building and he is refusing to listen to anybody…” Zion stuttered.Calhoun was about to wave the call off because he hated how Zion acted like a chicken sometimes but the name he had mentioned rang out in his ears. “Did you just say, Ethan?” Calhoun asked in a low dangerous voice.“Yes, he’s here and he’s making a scene.” Zion confirmed.“I will be down in a minute.” Calhoun ended the call and gave a few minutes for his associates to exit t
(EPILOGUE)A soft knock resonated against Lim and Laura's bedroom door. Laura was in the bathroom and she had left Lim still sprawled on the bed with their handsome son.She expected him to have answered the door but when the knock resonated again, she hurriedly rinsed off the soap from her body and hurried out of the bathroom with a towel sparsely tied around her body."Lim, didn't you hear the door?" She hissed as she made her way to the door."I pay them to handle things in the house not bring every little thing to me... I am tired..." He mumbled softly against his son's head.Laura couldn't help but roll her eyes. Lim was a changed person but sometimes he couldn't help but be cruel at the smallest of things.She ignored him and went to pull the door open. There was her maid standing with her head lowered to the floor."I am sorry for disturbing your afternoon ma'am but the driver taking you to the venue is here... You said I should let you know..."Laura smiled. "Oh, thank you so
LOST IN YOUR ARMS: (NEW)"Laura, you need to eat more," Jasmine said as she kept filling the plate with more beef meatballs. But Laura never paid her any attention. Her advice was like extra water to an ocean.For the past three days, she had become a food monster. She couldn't do anything without eating. She even woke up early in the morning to get food from the kitchen. Was that how pregnancy changed women? To night thieves?"Don't you think you'll turn her into a fatty?" Charles asked. He was sitting on the other side of the dining table with Dennis."That's none of your business! She is pregnant and she needs to eat more!" Jasmine retorted."Whatever..." Charles rolled his eyes and turned to Dennis, who was busy biting off his meatballs with both hands like a hungry lion. When he noticed that his hands were stained with the stew from the food, he dropped the fork in his hands and started licking his fingers.Charles got irritated by this and made pulled up a scowl that said exact
Marcus opened his eyes and the first thing that welcomed him was darkness. He looked around, desperate to see the surrounding he was in but it was difficult to see through the darkness. He should have known that Lim had a mind of his own. As far as he could remember, back in the abandoned house, he heard the sirens of the police cars outside. Wondering if Lim was ready to damage the family's reputation name by exposing them to the public as kidnappers. At first, that was what he thought but to his disappointment, the little boy had another plan.After the police left and they got moved, he became deeply concerned with what Lim was going to do to him and Thomas. Maybe being exposed to the police was going to be a better option.Fear suddenly cupped him. He became edgy like a psychopath. He had to free himself at all costs before the devil laid a hand on him.Just as he was about to move, he found out he was cuffed against a chair. "Fuck! I'm tied!" He grumbled in frustration. Then,
The police officer's eyes were strained on Lim's injured arm. He was eager to help in any way that he could but Lim waved him off."Don't worry, it is just a mere scratch. My woman is more important now. I need to leave.""Alright, sir!" The police officer saluted again.Lim turned to Charles and gestured to him, using an eye look that only the two of them understood."Don't worry, I can handle the situation here. You need to get Laura to the hospital. Go!" Charles said.Lim nodded and made to move but Steve shouted behind him."I'm coming too!"Lim glared over his shoulder. "Suit yourself!" he said and got into the car that had just parked in front of him. Steve ran the rest of the distance and also jumped into the car before the driver pulled off.The atmosphere in the car was thick as the two of them faced opposite sides, never saying a word to the other.Steve could not stop blaming himself. He wanted to speak out but he didn't want to anger the devil that was beside him.Soon, t
Her hands were covered in blood.The world went silent as her eyes scanned the man in her arms. Her heart was dragging painfully down her throat and she thought she would pass out from the pain."Lim!" Laura screamed in horror.Instantly, the men pushed Marcus down on the floor with great force. They were red with anger, both at themselves for letting this happen and at Marcus. How dare a rat like him shoot at their boss in their presence!?Marcus couldn't believe he blocked the shot. The bullet wasn't aimed at Lim but at Laura. She was the target Marcus had planned to shoot but stupid Lim took the hit instead. Marcus was so stunned that, his body became numb. Even as Lim's men continued beating him, he couldn't feel a thing.Their plan was completely messed up!Thomas, on the other hand, couldn't do a thing but stare at his brother with pitiful eyes. Lim's men were kicking and punching Marcus. Blood seeped out of him yet no sound came out.Thomas couldn't do anything to help him. H
"Why don't you take a seat?" Marcus stated, motioning to the couch in the corner of the room, just across the bed.Thomas moved briskly to the side and took Lim's gun.Lim gritted his teeth as his eyes shifted to Laura. She was so scared, he could feel it in his bones. He knew she wanted to say something due to the movement of her eyes but she couldn't, because of the gag in her mouth.Lim's heart squeezed in pain. He felt like an erupting volcano, but he couldn't bring himself to that state, he had to stay calm for the safety of Laura.He composed himself and sat on the couch with his legs crossed. Trying to be in a character that would not show his anger."So, where should we start?" He asked them with a smirk.Marcus smiled and gestured to Thomas to handle the files. As Thomas messed with the papers, Lim's eyes moved over the room, that was when he noticed Brent, tied up and left sprawled on the bed. "Hmm..." Lim sighed and raised an eyebrow. His brothers must have had another pl
As soon as the call ended, a grin of excitement appeared on Marcus's lips. He was happy that everything was going according to plan.A few minutes from now, he would become the rightful CEO of Walter's occupation all thanks to the little dove he kidnapped.Speaking of the dove, he turned to look at the other side of the room where Laura was tied up on the bed hopelessly like a lamb.There was now a light in the room, enough for Laura to picture the faces of her kidnappers. She should have known that not all of Lim's family members liked him. But now it was too late, they had her.The smile on Marcus's face expanded. It was just amazing to watch fear and all crawl into the girl.He was grateful that she had come into Lim's life when she did because if it wasn't for her, they wouldn't have known how to get the mighty Lim to surrender."So what did he say?" Thomas, who was sitting on a couch with Brent by his side, asked his brother. Marcus turned to them with his hands in his pockets.
Lim got down from his car in a hurry and rushed into the mansion, ignoring the servant's greetings at the doorway. Charles strode behind him trying to keep up with his speed. "Laura!" Lim called as soon as he entered the living room.His heart was thumping and panic was already flowing in his veins. He didn't want to think the worst, but at this point it was inevitable."Laura!" He called again. Not caring that he was being extremely loud."Lau—" Before he could complete his words, his father stepped out of his room into the living room looking wild."Lim, what's going on?" Old Walter asked from the stairs. He was walking down with the support of his butler, Mr May."Where is my wife?" Lim snarled like a wounded snake. His voice was filled with authority and anger so thick it was like a volcano.Old Walter looked at him quizzically. What was he saying? Wasn't the girl home yet?"Laura took her leave in the morning. Isn't she home yet?" Old Walter asked as he went down to the last st
Lim tried almost ten times and yet, it still said the same thing. At this point, he couldn't put the feeling away, something was wrong."The line still says the same thing," Lim said worriedly. He had sweat all over his face from the pressure.Charles was having the same thoughts and as much as he tried to calm his friend, he couldn't bring up the right words. "Isn't Laura coming already?" Jasmine asked as she walked closer to them. Lim sighed and returned his phone to his trousers pocket. There was no time to waste, he needed to go to Walter's mansion and find out for himself what was happening."We're going to Walter's mansion!" Lim stated coldly and walked out of the room. His expression had changed to something so dark and scary that even Jasmine could feel the change in the atmosphere on her skin.Everywhere suddenly turned cold and it wasn't the good kind.She turned to Charles with a worried look. "Is everything okay? Why is Mr. Ice so cold?" She stared at Lim's retreating w
