"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
"What!? Are you stupid?" Jasmine asked, she couldn't understand what her friend just said. Laura wasn't this kind of person, this wasn't her world. She had always been shy when it comes to men but what could have happened to change such an innocent flower."What are you saying?" Jasmine asked again, eyes widened trying to keep her voice down as little Denis played phone games loudly at the corner of the room. "Dennis, go play outside with the secretary" she said as she opened the door and gestured him out of the office so they could continue the conversation in privacy. Laura didn't seem to care."Do you know what you're saying?" Jasmine asked again as she shut the door behind her.Laura nodded with determination in her eyes. She had made up her mind before coming here. She knew the nature of job Jasmine did, delivering girls to rich billionaires. With luck she would be able to raise the money or maybe get some kind of advance from Jasmine which she would gradually work off."Laura, t
The interior of the apartment was simply marvelous, it was small yet comfortable looking with some expensive looking furniture . Jasmine was proud of her apartment being that she did the interior design herself but she thought the apartment was rather small for her and she was definitely going to move into a bigger one. But to Laura it was like a hotel suite in one of the rich neighbourhoods in the area. Much better than where she lived in."Have a seat, let me get your bags inside" said Jasmine. She gestured to the sofas in the living room.There were three of them all white and softer than any furniture in their home, Laura thought as she sat on them. There was a huge TV set hanging on the wall. With what looked a digital fireplace, Dennis kept staring with wonder at the fireplace with curiosity."Oh that's just a screen!" said Jasmine when she saw the look on the little boy's face, "The room has temperature control" she said as she turned a knob on the wall. They could feel the roo
"A picture?" Laura asked a bit confused.Why would Jasmine need a picture of her? She thought with a puzzling look on her face, she really didn't know how this worked."Of course. We're going to need a picture for the client to know what you look like before he accepts you, its basic business protocol. This is how you you will make the money I hope you understand?" She said knowing too well how bad Laura needed the moneyShe simply answered "Okay.""Now I need you to pose sexy on the couch and give it your best shot. Let's see if that would be enough to peak his interest." she said to the girl as she looked at her phone."So you have someone in mind already for me?" Laura asked. Jasmine nodded keeping her attention fixed on the phone."I can't go into much detail, but he goes by Mr A. Our clients never use their real names." Jasmine said without removing her eyes from the phone.Laura wondered who this Mr A was but didn't bother to ask about that yet with the fear of being to inquisit
Jasmine was battling with her thoughts. She really didn't have much time and she felt Mr A was going to end the call soon. Assuming he did, that will be over and they would have to go through the list of clients to find another person suitable for Laura! She couldn't bear to lose this man now.He definitely was well loaded and capable of the job. If not Mr A it's would be hard to get the money just once in a night of sex. Laura would had to sleep with more than seven men to raise that money which she needed, Jasmine didn't want that for her friend she just wanted a quick fix.It would be disappointing if she let him go that easily. While still bothering on what to say or what to do. Laura, who couldn't take it anymore tried to save her friend by throwing out the unspeakable truth..."I'm a virgin!"Immediately, came a shocking look from Jasmine face.She wasn't expecting that at all, not now. There was an immediate silence in the room while the two girls' hearts pounded as they stared
Jasmine was in a pool of her own emotion.This was very peculiar, what did Mr A want to discuss with Laura that he couldn't wait until tomorrow to discuss with her.Besides, the girl wasn't running away but she really had no idea what he wanted to talk about.She quickly obeyed him and passed the phone to Laura, who was staring lost fully at her friend.Jasmine didn't tell her what had changed her mood and why she had started to look so moody all of a sudden out of the blue.Was the person on the other end of the line that scary? Jasmine passed the phone to her and whispered slowly but only loud enough for Laura to hear."It's Mr A" she mouthed out to the sound of the words coming out of her mouth.Immediately, Laura's heart started to pound like a music drum on a mission.'Mr A?' her mind recalled the name before she placed the phone close to her ears with shaky hands."Hello?" Her little sweet but scared voice said, making the man on the line to chuckled to the way her voice squeake
(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
