The sound of her phone woke her from her peaceful sleep and she jumped out of bed with an aching heart. Calhoun was still sleeping despite the loud ringing. She grabbed her bed robe and took the phone out of the room so as not to wake him up.

It was only Lisa.

"Aria, you won't believe what just happened!" Lisa screeched on her end.

Ariana smiled as she walked towards the kitchen with the phone clutched to her right ear.

"What's up, babes?" She asked.

"Alice Brentwood just called me."

Ariana shrugged. "What's the big deal?"

Lisa hissed and Ariana could already imagine her rolling her eyes.

"You don't get it do you?" Lisa cried out.

"Nope, I don't," Ariana said as she got to the fridge. She pulled it open and took out a bottle of water. Last night was full of so much love making she was feeling dehydrated and God knew she needed the energy and liquid to speak to Lisa.

"Well, Alice Brentwood just called, begging me to come back to work!" Lisa screamed in excitement.

    "Ariana!" Calhoun's sleepy voice rang in the corridor as walked to the living room. Ariana heard him but the image and writings going on in front of her kept her frozen she couldn't speak. She had seen this coming. Ethan was not bluffing. "I've been looking everywhere for you," Calhoun said walking over to where she sat motionless. He hadn't realized what she was watching. He got to her, and that was when he saw the shock and fear mixed in her eyes. "Ariana, what is wrong?" He asked sleep leaving his eyes completely. His heart squeezed as he hated to find such expressions on her face. She was talking. Her eyes were just fixed on the television as she tried to think about the next thing they could do at this point. Calhoun followed her line of sight and saw the news. "Ethan has attempted murder?" He read out loud. He clicked his tongue in irritation and held her hands. "Ariana, this guy is a joker. He is only doing this to get at you, babe." His words made her peel her eyes from

    Their chopper landed in Regatta Spring, Ariana could feel her heart retreat behind her chest muscle at the out come of their visit. There was a police car waiting for them and two SUVs lined the perimeter of the helipad. "One has the guards in it while the other is the one we will move around with," Calhoun explained pointing out to the vehicles. He got up and held her hands, leading her out of the helicopter. An attendant had already moved their bags to the car and all they had to do his walk to the vehicles on their own. "Mr. Lawson, welcome to Regatta Spring," The man said with a slight bow of his head. "Thank you," Calhoun said giving the man a firm handshake. "Meet my Fiancée, Miss Ariana Brown," Calhoun said. The man bowed further and smiled as his eyes met that of Ariana. "A pleasure to meet you ma'am. Please let's move to the car, the whether by this time of the year can be a little strange," He said. Ariana looked up to the sky and she saw the clouds pooling in. Though

    There were caution tapes around the house and each step they took towards the entrance, Calhoun could feel Ariana shrinking further into him. These must have be a tough thing for her. He wished he could just sweep her out of there in the next second but they had to settle the issues with Ethan and probably her parents as well. If they wanted money, he could put them on a payroll for the rest of their lives as long as they let Ariana live her life in peace.The police officer walking ahead of them pulled the door opened and Calhoun stepped in with Ariana by his side."We know nothing of this! He came here saying he needed Ariana and we had to get her here. We tried to call her but we didn't get her... We didn't even—" Brenda trailed off the moment her eyes fell on Ariana. She didn't even see the person with her as her anger zeroed in on her daughter whom she considered wicked, rebellious and selfish."What are you doing here?!" She spat with anger sipping out of her like a mature volca

    Chapter 140:Brenda's anger shivered away the moment she saw Calhoun approach them. She didn't know who he was yet, but the strong aura around him was enough to send her tail hiding behind her legs. She scooted closer to her husband and sat with her hands folded like a child caught lying."Good day ma'am, this is going to turn out a lot wrong but it needs to be done. I am Calhoun Lawson and I just saved you from serving a jail term because of the bond I share with your daughter. Now that doesn't mean I will cover up for your lies if I catch a sniff of it in anything you will tell me, it only means I will handle it myself," Calhoun began. He let go of Ariana's hand and pulled a near by stool to himself and sat down facing Brenda and her husband."Are we clear on that?" He asked with a voice Ariana recognised he only used with his workers, especially those who didn't meet up with their tasks.Brenda nodded unable to bring out the right words to say. She knew the name Lawson and he was s

    The young nurse finally got to a door. Sofia, who had all along been tailing behind, hoped she had opened the right door this time. Mr. John, Ethan's uncle had been guarding the name of the hospital he had taken Ethan too so the media wouldn't just troop in. Sofia had tried to reach out to him but the man was too stubborn so tailing after a nurse was what her love for Ethan had reduced her to. She thought the nurse was too sluggish for her liking but she had no join. She had heard the nurse speaking about a certain Mr. John and she was certain it was Ethan. Finally, she got to the right place. Sofia waited outside for the nurse to leave. And no sooner was the door opened to indicate the nurse's departure did Sofia fly in. Ethan was laying helplessly on the white sheets. There were several things attached to him. He was on a drip. He was on oxygen. He had on only a blue hospital gown that revealed his thighs. Sofia was almost drawn to touch them. But she held herself. "Miss! You sho

    Sofia sat in her car and wound up all the windows. It was raining outside and so was it inside. Her makeup was done for. Her heart was no longer beating she was devastated.Her phone rang again amidst her sobbing. It was Alice. She couldn't receive any call right now. She really needed to be by herself. The ringing persisted. Sofia finally picked up the call. She waited patiently for the person at the other end of the line to speak up first. "Hey, what's going on? You're not picking up your calls. Is everything okay?""Cut to the chase Alice, don't pretend to care," Sofia responded coldly. It seemed like whenever she was this broken Alice was always the first to call and mock her. This wasn't concern it was mockery!"Sofia, I love you and I care for you! You need to start thinking things through. The way you're going, you could end up in a mess soon, and I might not be able to get you out," Alice tried to cajole her but Sofia was now disgusted by her sister. Not only did she think A

    The door bell rang. "Just a minute!" Sofia sang. She was in the bathroom. Water was running but she wasn't taking a bath. She had been playing with her toys again. She put on her bathing suit and went for the door. Awestruck, Sofia appeared to have seen a ghost. "Hey, Sofia Brentwood. Nice to see you again." It was Noah. He walked pass her with his normal sense of arrogance like he owned the place.Sofia shut the door and watched as he made himself at home. He crossed his legs as he ate from the grapes in a bowl. "Where's Lily?" Sofia growled."Forget about my mother. She's too old to understand many things," Noah said casually. Sofia sat. Still wondering what was going on. "Why the hell did she send you?" "Look, Sofia. I get it. You're intimidated by my looks and intelligence. But I'm more useful to you than my mother can be. And certainly more than Ethan could ever be," he said and winked. Noah, just like his brother Matt had the sweetest of mouth. The problem was, he didn'

    Chapter 144:Calhoun swung on his swivel chair from side to side as he flipped through the memories he had made with Ariana. He couldn't believe she was all his now. There was no way he could get over her beauty, her softness. Last night they made love, and it felt more amazing than ever. Initially, Ariana was worried about the episode with her parents. But the ecstasy of the lovemaking erased every bit of her distress. They both knew how to satisfy each other until exhaustion took over. Calhoun's phone beeped. It was a message. It was from Ariana. "Hey babe," it read. Calhoun smiled sheepishly. He was in love. He'd never really known what it felt or meant. Now he was intoxicated with it. "I'm okay, honeypie. Was just thinking about you and last night," he sent, still smiling and turning on his swivel chair. "Can we talk?" came the reply. Calhoun paused. Something had gone wrong. He could sense it. "Meet me at the parking lot." Calhoun cancelled all his appointments for the da

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.
