Grandfather had insisted they stayed there until the wedding day.Ariana found a way to get closer to the family, on the other end Sofia and lily were allowed to study her every movement so they would kidnap her. Today would be their lucky day because she was going to be all alone around the house.Ariana sat under an umbrella In the garden, she watched as the maids cleared the weeds that had grown. They asked for Noah to do so but they. Couldn't find him anywhere so Ariana volunteered. They tried to stop her claiming she was getting married she needed to be fresher than ever and her body needed to revitalize itself, she needed beauty baths and skin care but she said she was going to be fine. but Ariana was too stubborn to listen she went ahead and did as they told her not to."My lady don't you need at least a glass of water," A maid stopped before her to ask if she needed
"Who are you?" Calhoun questioned. "We were asked to come here to pick up a girl named Ariana and she Was supposed to be sold to us," The shorter one said. Lily wanted ground to swallow her at that moment. She felt uncomfortable and everyone was staring at her. Everyone were out of their room at this point. She just denied the fact that she ever did it. And now the proof was in front of her. This people came an hour earlier than planned. Sofia stared at Calhoun then the men, she wanted to Deny that she knew nothing of what they spoke. But Calhoun was smarter and sharper than she was. "Do you recognised the voice or the face of person that called?" He asked. "Yes they were two females, the both of them," the taller one said as he pointed towards their direction. "Have they collected any advance for the payment?" Calhoun questioned. "Yes, an advance payment of fifty thousand dollars," The taller one added. "We are sorry for the trouble they caused you. Before the end of to
Chapter 207: The wedding had passed in the Lawson's mansion. Ariana and her husband had left for their honeymoon.

Noah was still heartbroken after Sofia left, Nikita made Matt the happiest man everyday. Noah believed that one day he was going to find the love of his life just like Calhoun. Noah sat across Matt on the dinning table with their laptops. "Where is Mom?" Noah asked Matt as he typed furiously on his laptop. "I don't know where she is," Matt said. "She is probably poking her nose in somebody's business," he said. Matt's phone rang and an unknown number popped up, he squeezed his face in a frown before he pressed answer. "Hello?" "Good day to you sir, am I speaking with Matt? Lily's son?" A woman's voice answered. She sounded like she just finished cry
"They are here!" Elsie squealed as she saw Ariana and Calhoun's car approach the house.They drove inside the Mansion and Mrs Lawson could not contain her excitement. In one month she was going to deliver a baby.Today was the gender reveal party. This was supposed to be done on her forth month. But there was so many things she couldn't do it.Elsie rushed towards the car to help Ariana out.Her baby bump was bigger and she was fatter than the last time she came. She almost looked like a ball.Ariana struggled out of the car and with Elsie's help then finally she came out."You look lovely as ever," Elsie said as she caressed her face, she placed both of her palms up and kissed them lightly."Thank you aunt Elsie," she said with a sweet smile."Don't call me aunt, I'm not even old enough to give birth to you dear,"she said"I'm sorry Elsie," she replied."What is this redness on your palm?" Elsie questioned wth a frown as she stared at them."Oh that's just a bruise I got," Ariana sai
"Congratulations, Mr Lawson your wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy," She said.Calhoun lowered himself to his knees. He had never prayed in his life but at that instant, he knew there was a greater being that listened to his cries. He couldn't have imagined what he would have done if something was to happen to Ariana and his baby. He didn't care what gender it was. He never actually cared. All he wanted was to see Ariana smile and happy about the pregnancy. All he wanted was for her to be by his side and make him happy.She had gone through so much in life the least he could do was to make her happy. Now Sofia wanted to take her away from him."May I see her?" He asked the doctor."Ofcourse. The baby is being taking care of right now. You may only see him much later when the nurses bring him in."Calhoun didn't even wait for the doctor to finish with her explanation before he started walking to the room. Ariana was still in the ICU side of the hospital but Calhoun didn't care. He
"It's okay Matt. If she ever loved you, I am sure she will come to her senses. Give her some time and let us see what the future holds." Calhoun advised Matt as he cuddled his child. Matt had come to see him and give him an update on how the situation with the withdrawal had gone and he was surprised to find him taking care of his son. He barely let Ariana touch the boy. And this wasn't because he wanted Ariana to relax properly. It was because he was connected to his son. He loved him beyond doubt and refused to be separated from him. "I thought men were closer to their daughters and not their sons?" Matt asked as he watched his cousin. "I don't know but my boy is too cute, I can't help it," Calhoun replied and they both laughed about it. Their lives weren't perfect but their future was going to be if they kept being this supportive to one another. Ariana was more than grateful to have gone to that bar that night. The experience that had started bitter finally ended in joy. She h
A new book Name: Chased by the heartless billionaire (A night on his bed) CHAPTER 1 PROLOGUE She peered around and had no sight of him—this is the only chance she had. A chance to run away far from him, she can't stand him anymore. She can’t stand looking at him, giving orders like he owned the world and no one can terminate him from his power. She inaudibly creeped through the living room and handled the door. Mildly to evade making a sound, she turns the doorknob. It made a ticking sound, making her to grimace at the sound. It sounded as though the whole world could hear that precise sound. And she wouldn’t want to risk getting caught. She bit on her lips as she scanned the room, making sure no one heard her. The room was silent. No sign of the maids or butler, just not yet. It was still dawn. The sun hadn’t shown yet—it was dark and hazy. She heaved a sigh of relief went ahead to open the door. A smile of pleasure escapes on her face as her eyes sparkled with bliss. She cou
A loud thud echoed fiercely on the door, making chaos in the apartment.Laura's little brother grasped her tightly. The young boy appeared to be unnerved.Who might be knocking this late in the evening?Laura had a baffling look as the reflection danced into her head while she gazed at the exit. She was sure she knew who was at the door, her suspicions brought in a wave of panic that overwhelmed her. She shivered slightly at the thought of the bastard at the door. The monster has come back to harass them again!"Who's there?" She inquired, in an attempt not to feel panicky as she heard food steps inching closer to the door. The question wasn't needed since she knew who was at the door. Still, she demanded notwithstanding, feigning obliviousness."Open up bitch!" the icy voice of a man roared furiously."Open this door now before I smash it!" His voice echoed with monster fury and alert.Dennis held her tighter as he stood behind her back, shaking like he heard the voice of a beast. Sh
(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
