Should he wait for her? Or just go on with the rest of the family?

Calhoun didn't have to think for too long as the dining doors opened and the bitch he had been searching for waltzed in. 

"Hello, family!"

As his eyes settled on her, his devilish chuckle escaped from his lips, catching her attention.

"Oh my gosh! If it isn't my favorite nephew, who am I seeing? Calhoun!" She screeched running to where he was. She bend down and placed kisses all over his cheeks. "Calhoun! How nice of you to be here!"

"Hey move!" She snapped at Rosa who was sitting closer to Calhoun. Nothing wanting her crazy aunt's wrath, Rosa moved away from the sit, letting her aunt take it.

This earned her a glare from her mother but Elsie paid no attention to it. Her mother had been on her neck to get married and she wasn't interested in such things. She completely refused marriage proposals from every man that was bold enough to even try. T

    The dining hall went as silent as a graveyard and cold air seeped between the Lawson's family as a ghost had visited them.The news caught everyone by surprise. It was utterly unexpected. Nobody could remark, everyone just stared at each other, waiting for the first to comment on the news Calhoun gave to them.Lily and her husband exchanged looks, deep down they dreaded this day. They had been punishing for any of their sons to get married since Calhoun seemed to hate the mere mention of the word. That would have been their only grace in the eyes of their grandparents but those two boys were stupid. They were too slow and completely irresponsible. Now, Calhoun had gone and made the major move before them.Thomas, his youngest uncle, and his wife were indifferent. They didn't care what Calhoun said or did. They had practically had enough of the boy's pride and ego.Aunt Bianca on the other hand was elated. Her only fear was that Calhoun cou

    With the look on Calhoun's face, they could all tell he was been serious about the news. Grandfather decided not to respond to Noah's question. They always thought he pampered Calhoun forgetting that he only treated Calhoun that way because he was a very intelligent boy. He focused on his business and grew his empire without demanding from anyone. Noah and Matt were just like their parents, they made a lot of demands and came up with nothing in the end."You really are serious about this, aren't you?" Elsie finally blurted after studying Calhoun. Calhoun gave a quick nod, taking a sip of his wine. This was all the confirmation Elsie needed."Oh, my God you are really getting married!" She squealed completely throwing Noah's question off the table."It's going to be the talk of the town! Just leave every arrangement to me!" Grandmother beamed with smiles."Grandmother, can I be in charge of the flowers?" Little Rosa commented ju

    Throwing Sofia out of his office was so satisfactory for Ethan, just the thoughts made him smile. Now that he had dealt with her, his focus was solemnly on getting Aria back.He sat back in his chair, thinking of ways to apologize to her. He had tried calling and pleading to her. But Ariana was being stubborn. He needed to change his tactics. He needed to bring her back into his life and make up for his misdeed and cunning game.He had already sent her a text message, in fact, multiple messages but she didn't bulge, she insisted on ending things with him. "What should I do this time?" He whispered to himself."Should I show up in her office tomorrow with fresh blooming roses hanging on my hands?" He thought aloud, but then he shook his head. That wasn't a smart thing to do. Ariana would not appreciate that. She hated being the center of attention and Ethan running there was going to draw a lot of attention. He was too handsome to ignore,

    On a flexible paved single lane road, was a two story building compartment of four apartments and one belonged to Ariana Brown. She didn't care about riches, all she ever wanted in life was to be fulfilled and be able to take care of herself. This apartment gave her all of that and more.Aria had just returned from work and she had her bath. Her boss had stressed her so much she got home smelling like a bag of rotten potatoes. She hurried to the bathroom to soak her hair in shampoo. She took her time to scrub every part of her body nice and clean. She was humming to herself when the doorbell of the third apartment rang out. She wanted to ignore it because she wasn't expecting any visitors but the bell kept ringing in urgency. Groaning, Aria tied a pink fluffy towel around her body then took a smaller one to wrap around her hair which still had shampoo in it. She ran out of her bathroom to open the door. When she got to the door, she picked up the h

    Ethan couldn't believe what he was seeing or hearing, Aria had dared to send him out of her apartment. His own Aria that he loved above other women. She was treating him like dirt. "Aria, please, let's talk about this calmly... I love you!" He whispered in pain. He felt like arrows were being thrown into his heart. It was never his intention to hurt Aria, he only did what he did to teach Sofia a lesson and nothing more. The woman he loved was Aria and nobody else could compare."I do not want to talk to you, Ethan! And never you say you love me because you never did! " Aria snapped, tears welling up her eyes. "You never did Ethan! You never loved me! If you ever did, you would never sleep with my best friend! Of all the women you have, you had to add her to the list Ethan, why?" Tears spilled from her eyes and she felt her heart break again like she was back to that moment she caught Ethan on top of Sofia. What was even more painful was the fact that even afte

    After the nice officer left, Aria remained on the couch and tears continued to drip from her eyes. She remembered the way she and Ethan had been. They were so happy until he started making it his life work to sleep with every woman he came across. That was a major ted flag but she didn't pay it any attention. She was blinded by love.Stupid love!Now, look at how broken she was.As for Sofia, she was so stupid. Aria thought she truly cared for her. She thought Sofia was an absolute best friend but in the end, she was only a means to an end. She didn't care about her. Sofia only wanted Ethan and Aria to make it possible.She was played. They both played her and now she was wiser she wouldn't be a fool anymore. Ethan and Sofia were now people that she once knew and nothing more.Her ringing tone filled the room and she jumped out of her thoughts. She got to the phone which was on the table and checked the caller, she half expected

    Ethan was heartbroken. He drove away from Aria's apartment. The plan was to go straight home but he couldn't do it. His heart was aching and his hands shook mimicking the movements in his heart. He couldn't believe Aria had humiliated him like that. He had gotten her so many expensive and valuable things yet she threw them all away. She thrashed them like they were with nothing. He throws his eyes to the back seat of his car and the shining materials and pieces of jewelry stare back at him in sadness.What else could he do?Whatever had happened between him and Sofia was a minor thing. She didn't have to make such a big deal out of it. He had been doing the worst stuff and she forgave him every time why then should this be different?Did she not love him anymore?No! —That wasn't possible.Aria could never love someone else other than him. She belonged to him. Her smooth virgin body was his to explo

    Shit!This couldn't be good at all, -Ethan thought.As soon as the door to his office opened, his uncle's gruff voice reached him."What in the hell were you thinking, Ethan?"Ethan gulped. He was a spoilt prince in his house but whenever his uncle shouted like this, it was never a good thing. And most of the time it was always related to them losing massive money to something that wouldn't bring profit.He would have to think of a way to calm the hold man -or things were going to get worst fast."Uncle, it isn't a big deal okay." Ethan tried to calm his fuming uncle up but his efforts only made the man even angrier."It isn't a big deal, you say?" His eyes narrowed into smaller beads and sweat dripped from his bald head.

    (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
