A mesmerizing figure walked his way gently across the hotel lobby making some of the staff glare at him in amusement. He had this look that was so enchanting that it made the women there stare lustfully at him admiring his looks and wondering who the hell this handsome devil was. There was no emotion on his face as he looked like he was used to be gaped at on a daily basis,he kept on walking towards the elevator. Coming to the hotel today he wasn't ready to hear the same old story from Mr Rogers, he believed Mr Rogers must have fixed whatever was wrong by now if not his little company would suffer dearly for it. Lim had given him just three days to find this unknown girl called Laura, behind him were his men, following his every step ...... Meanwhile in Mr Rogers office. Mr Rogers had been bitting on his fingers, thinking of what to do to fix this mess. He knew if Mr Charles came back there, it wouldn't end well. Who must have been this idiotic that he thought it was a good idea
The room was enveloped with darkness, in the middle sat a man tied to a wooden chair. His mouth was blocked by a piece of cloth making him unable to speak. He was tied from his shoulder down to his hip on the chair, his legs were also tied to the chair.The rope on him was so tight that it made his skin bleed. In the dark room, the bleeding man was not alone. There were several men standing at each side of the room, wearing black suits and sunglasses.Their faces showed seriousness and not a single care about the man. The room was dark but it was dimly lit with a bulb in the middle such that you could make out the figure of each man in the room.The man tied to the chair had swollen eyes as a result of crying and pleading with them to release him. But no one bother or care to listen to his pleading, they all looked over him mercilessly.There was a moment of silence in the room as the room door was swung open , and an alluring figure walks in showing some reflection of the light out t
In the dark room the image of a man was displayed, he was bloodied beyond recognition, parts of his skin had been torn off. He sat there lifeless, the man had died in a horrible way. Even in his death, the bloody tears that probably came from him begging for his life could still be seen. Lim snapped his finger in a commanding way, and one of his subordinates passed him a handkerchief. He grabs on it and wipes his hands, "clean this mess" he instructed coldly and strode out of the room as the men attended to the bloodied dead man who had slumped weirdly on the woody chair. "Young master" a man bowed and greeted. "Is the room set?" Lim asked "Yes milord, everything is set and waiting for you" the man obediently replied with an anxious smile. Mr Lim smiled devilishly and walked into the room that had been prepared for him. Inside the room, on the giant royal bed, laid a skinny gorgeous lady resting seductively on the bed. she was wearing only a thong and a bra. She had a really
The strange figure had left and no one went into Mr Rogers' office again. He walked through the hallway with his subordinates following closely behind, they looked menacing as they walked pass the hotel staff, they kept staring wondering what business these men had with Mr Rogers. The hotel owner himself was scary to some of the staff so it was a surprise to see him intimidated to this point, they could see that his door was closed as well as his windows as if he was scared they would burst back into his office. The building was filled with different expressions about the unknown men. Some of the guests looked anxious as the staff tried to assure them that everything was fine and there was no threat or danger. At the same time some of the women admired the charismatic man leading the entourage as the men walked towards the door without looking at anyone stepping out of the building one after another. After a few seconds everyone went back to their normal activities. John one of the h
In the silence of the graveyard you could hear mourning, you could hear cries by people dressed in black as they weeped for the lost. The relatives of Mr Rogers couldn't stop crying as they were consoled by family and friends. The death of Mr Rogers was a shock to all, how could a man be killed in his own office without anyone hearing the sound of the gun shot. The police was carrying out an investigation about his death, and every employee present that day had testified that a young man was the last person to enter Mr Rogers office.. And yet no one knew who this man was.. or even knew his name! John who was the first person that saw the dead man and was brought in for some questioning. He told the police what he knew but didn't give out any of the information concerning Jasmine or the unknown girl Laura. He wanted to keep that one to himself for his own personal benefits. Among the people with weeping eyes, Jasmine was present. She stared confusedly at Mr Rogers' grave. What reall
The sun shun brightly, few cars could be seen moving on the road, there was a house with a car parked in front of a beautiful little Villa. Jasmine gets down and Mr Robin opens the door for her. "If anything happens, call me" he says She nods. The man didn't want to leave her alone especially now that things were getting serious with this dangerous man Mr. A but she had repeatedly assured him that she could take care of herself and would be fine .. " Are you sure you want me to leave? I can spend the night in the guest room if you want?" Mr Robin asked, he was scared the girl might do something that would put her in danger. Mr . A was a dangerous man and from recent events wasn't one that should be trifled with . . Facing this man was like facing a chance of death on its own. Killing Mr Rogers wasn't just going to stop him from seeking for what he wanted, these underground lords were crazy and he knew it. Mr Robin suspected that he would be planning his next move and he had to sto
Jasmine had been exhausted from all of the day's happenings.. She was seated in her living room holding a bottle of whiskey, she didn't even bother getting a glass as she took several gulps directly from the bottle She needed something strong to take her mind of the guilt and other thoughts about Mr. A that creeped into her head. She looked awful and had drank more than half of the content in the whiskey bottle. Today had been a long day and also a sad day for her, John had found out she was the one who tampered with the clients and her boss was dead due to her carelessness. What more could happen that would be worse than this? She stretched her hand out again and picked the bottle in front of her, she had almost drunk the whole of it, but at least she chose to be home, like a drunk queen in her own castle instead of a bar where some idiot would try to hit on her. She thrust up the whiskey into her mouth, she didn't have any one to pour her heart to and the only one person she c
Jasmine was still trying to figure out who this unknown voice belonged to and where exactly she had heard it before.. " I can see you're lost my pearl" the voice said "What can I say? . Springing up surprises is a specialty of mine" he continued. " I would love to see you again in person Miss Jasmine, our last meeting was too brief if we are being frank" Charles said with hint of sarcasm. There was no place for this girl to run or hide again. He could see her and even spotted what she was wearing at the time, and how awfully drunk she looked while gulping on the bottle of whiskey... With a drastic voice he said " I can see you" His words played slowly into her ears, making her shiver from the statement. Could he really see her? Frightened, Jasmine was awake from her drunk state as she started to look suspiciously around her. She looked around her living room and was sure she was the only one in. What the fuck was this man saying! "Who the fuck are you?!" Jasmine exclaimed Jasmi
(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
