"Yes Lim, when are you getting married? " Old Walter asked, sipping on his wine and glaring at the boy, who seemed not affected by any word uttered by Cindy."You aren't getting any younger you know, or do you want all your nephews to get married before you?" Old Walter asked jokingly But Lim didn't show any concern about it. He ignored his words like it was the wind blowing through his ears."Grandpa, I don't think Uncle Lim is ready to get married now, maybe he still needs more time to find the right person " stated Luke. The best way to get to the devil was to show him your respect and support. Since he had refused Nick, he had to play his best role and win his icy heart."Some time?" Old Walter asked."If Uncle Lim had found the right person, he would have gotten married earlier. But he still needs more time. You know it's difficult settling for one woman with all the cheating that women do these days. it would be difficult to find the right one especially because he's the head of
Jasmine was roaming around the living room with worry biting on her lips thinking of how to find the true identity of Mr. A.After the mysterious death of Mr. Rogers, there was a lot she did not know about this man called Mr. A, one thing she knew though was that he was a very dangerous man.She picked up her phone and dialed a number." Hello? Can we meet up at my house? I will be waiting for you", she was about to end the call when something else flashed into her head."And one more thing, please don't tell anyone you're coming to see me," she said and hung up the call."This is crazy" she muttered to herself as she slumped on the couch like a hopeless woman. After the day, Mr. Charles had called her, she was not herself, she felt unsecured like someone was watching her every move. She didn't know the man and felt very uncomfortable with the things he had said.Her heart was still troubled, she was worried the man might be up to something violent following the incident with Mr. Roge
In his domination, Kill had finally gotten what he wanted, his prize was beneath him, and he could smell her sweet scent, and it drove him crazier as he violated the breasts that were before him."Baby girl, you know you look tempting, right?"He was looking at the red-eyed Jasmine with an evil smile." You're mine today and I'm going to have you the way I want."No! This was not happening to her. Jasmine thought it had to be a really bad dream.She shouted for help as loudly as she could. She didn't know whose name to call"Mr. Charles! Help - Charles- " she cried fearfully, not knowing whether the man was still there spying on her. She didn't know why, from all the names she could have called, that name came into her mind. And frankly, she didn't care who it was, someone had to save her from the beast that was on top of her. All she could hope for was for someone to barge in suddenly."Charles! - help! " She screamed again, her brain getting fuzzy at this point.Kill was enraged at
Her heart was throbbing as the man left. Could he be Mr. A? No, that can't be. The two voices don't sound the same, Mr. A's voice was cold and unkind, but this man had a warmness to his voice when he spoke to her, like he had genuine care for her safety.This was a bit weird coming from a stranger who probably knew very little about her. It could have been a sweet gesture if this man had been spying on her in the first place."Jeez! Jasmine woke up and used your head! You don't know why he's here or stalking you" she said to herself in her head,She sat down and tried to calm herself. She wasn't sure who this man was and what he wanted from her, but one thing she knew was she had to be calm.She got a cup of water from the kitchen and went to the living room with it. She drank the whole glass and as she dropped the cup her mind drifted towards Kill. She was angry with herself. She definitely should have had a plan in place if, in case kill decided to come for her after she played him,
"Are you Mr. A?" Jasmine looked at Charles as she askedThe atmosphere of the room became sour, it was as if she had said something she wasn't supposed to. Even Sam, who had almost finished packing his tools, trembled a bit. Why was this girl saying this name so casually? Sam said to himself inwardly.Jasmine stared at Mr. Charles, waiting to hear his answer to her questions. Although her heart was racing, it didn't stop her from trying to know the true identity of this man.Charles stood silently examining the pale girl sitting on the bed and the look on her face. He smiled and strode towards her silently without uttering a word which made her nervous. Was this alias known in other places as well? She thought.Charles walked towards her with a different look on his face, the warmth in his smile had disappeared and was replaced with a cold crooked smile.Sam, who was clueless, watched what was happening in front of him, wondering what was going to happen next.Charles stopped and stoo
Jasmine strode out of the bedroom, she was still shocked by what just happened, everything happened so fast it felt like she was in some sort of badly written movie. First, Kill came and tried to rape her and then Mr Charles arrived from no where to save her, then went on to tell her he was Mr Rogers' murderer. What just happened? She asked herself inwardly. Looking around the living room for her phone, which she found lying on the glass tabletop. Hurriedly, she picked it up, dialed a number quickly, if Mr. A had found out about her and that meant her life was in danger. She needed to get the hell out of there before Mr Charles came back to her apartment again. The number rang and immediately the caller picked up, " Hello Milady" came Mr Robin's voice on the other at the end. Jasmine with a quivering voice that hadn't fully recovered from what had just happened. "Mr Robin?" Her voice sounded a bit frightened, she didn't know how to respond to him. Instantly, Mr Robin realised t
In a silent and lonely alley, a black Mercedes Benz pulled up from the roadside. As the car came to a halt, a man stepped out like he was in a hurry as he opened the backseat door. Immediately, the door opened and the tall figure of Mr Charles stepped out. He was still wearing the fitting he had on during the incident in Jasmine's apartment. He walked to the car trunk, which was obediently opened by one of his subordinates, In the boot, was a man who had been man-handling his legs and his hands were tied with tape covering his mouth too. He couldn't move, neither could he speak! That man was no one other than Kill! After leaving the Villa, he was brought here so he would be taught how to treat a woman with respect, according to Charles. Kill with a face full of fear , he couldn't guess what exactly he was doing here or why he had been bought here! But all he could tell was it was not going to be good. He had previous dealings with Charles and he knew his reputation along with the
A car stopped in front of a magnificently tall skyscraper,"We are here" Steve announced as soon as the car parked in front of the fascinating big building. Laura, who had been frustrated with this man that Jasmine had left with her was seated at the back. It had been a week now that Steve had changed all her plans from her regular routine , she no longer watched TV while eating snacks, or any junk food lazily ... All she did now was daily exercise to keep her body in shape! That had been her most frustrating week of all the weeks she had stayed in Canada.She rolled her eyes unpleasantly, and sighedJust at that moment, her eyes fell on something magnificent outside the car window. She was still trying to figure out where they were.She looked up at the building that had a huge sign with a name. The sign read 'The Brentwood Corporation'What were they doing at The Brentwood Corporation? Although she hadn't been to Canada before, she had watched numerous shows and news that had to do
(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
