"Hello Sir" came the voice of a man at the other end of the phone. "I want you to keep your eyes on her while she is in the country", Steve said coldly. "Sure boss, you don't have to worry yourself. I will give her my full attention!" "Good" he said, ending the call. He sighed peacefully. He could not understand why he was feeling this way towards her. He had just spent some days with her and he had come to care for her more than he had expected to. At first he was doing it as a favour to Jasmine, but with time he had grown fond of Laura. It was getting to a point where he might care for her as much as he did Jasmine. He didn't really understand his feelings towards her. Why did he get so emotional over things that happened to her, he didn't even want to see her unhappy? He sighed again. Put his hands into his pockets, and glanced in the direction of the airport as he walked away.. "What's happening to me?" he muttered. ********** A slender figure walked into the office after he
In front of the convoy of cars was a black limo, the ladies inside were seated delicately enjoying the sweet service of the valet in the car. This had turned out to be the audition of a lifetime for them. It was more like a summer vacation, because none of them had ever experienced such comfort and luxury. There were 5 girls in the group. They all sat in pairs except for Laura. They were having conversations with their eyes occasionally darting towards Laura . The girls knew each other but Laura had only been there a week, so they hadn't really been introduced to each other properly. How she got the gig with them even though she had just 1 week of experience was a mystery, she was new to their company and hadn't even entered the spotlight yet. But still, she was chosen to come along with those who had at least a few years of experience of each. They were professional models, so to speak. What was so special about this girl? The worst part was he just came in all of a sudden with a r
The room was not just a simple looking room, it was more like a presidential suite! Well designed in gold and white. Suitable for a top model to rest in, she was impressed. Was this my room or someone else's room? She asked herself inwardly. "Ma'am.. don't you think we're in the wrong room?" She asked, bewildered. "No madam, this room is yours." "Mine?" The receptionist shook her head obediently. Laura was more amazed . She wondered why her room looked more like a room for an important dignitary than for a model. Isn't this too much? She thought to herself. "What about the others? Are their rooms this way?" Laura curiously asked. She wasn't comfortable in this room. What if she was directed to the wrong room which wasn't hers.. The receptionist knew if she told the truth, the girl would refuse to accept the room. She had to lie to cover up. If not, she would be fired! "Yes, they're all in their rooms, and it looks just like that. There wasn't no space for you on that floor" La
His eyes were fixated on her body, like a predator on its prey. He could hardly breath,the sweet smell of her aura had covered the whole room, it was looking impossible for him to resist the temptation that was in front of him. The girl wasn't just beauty she was hot temptation, any man in his shoes wouldn't be able to control himself especially seeing her this way. His eyes darted to every part of her resistable body. From her lips, to her round bosom then her ass down to her beautiful legs. This was hard to take, he swallowed, strolling his fingers through his hair lazily. Why was this girl so tempting! He couldn't even think straight in this situation, she was his one weakness. He tried hard to calm himself down from his burning desire. He sat on the edge of the bed, covering her exposed legs and panties with the blanket on the bed. She was his woman, and her body should only be seen by him and no other person "Sweet girl" he whispered as a sweet smile washed over his lips. As s
Mr Robin was still speechless in the car with what he just saw. Did Mr Charles, a royal cat to the underworld king just kiss his mistress? He was clueless on what to do. What if the boy was having an affair with Mr Williams daughter? And to make the situation more delicate they were both children of the lords of the under world and one had to be careful when dealing with them, especially when it came to things like this If only Jasmine would have listened to him and had given up the search for Mr A the situation would not have lead to this. He had no idea the two had met and were going on dates with each other, he knew both families wouldn't approve of their children together. Jasmine had never even told him a thing about meeting Mr Charles before or anyone else for that matter Has this been going on behind this back? Did Jasmine have a relationship with Charles? And why did she never bother to tell him? Was that the reason she left her former Villa? He had so many questions runni
"Where is Laura?" Adam asked, as his eyes darted around the girls in the lounge. There was no sight of Laura in the room. Adam had become more worried and asked again "Has anyone seen Laura?" there was no response from the girls, they all seemed as confused as Adam about the question he just asked. When Laura was stopped behind by the receptionist they all assumed it was Adam that had decided to disqualified her or maybe he had come to realize that the girl wasn't qualified to be in the show in the first place and that was the reason she was kicked out "But sir, we thought you sent her back since she wasn't qualified for the audition" one of the girls answered. "W-W-What are you saying!" Adam snapped. What the hell is she saying? How come? How will i send back the girl Steve had assigned under his care? Perspiration started forming on his head as his mind was about to be drowned in the worries. Quickly he said. "Are you girls saying she wasn't in the same lounge with you?" "Yes M
The room was still intense, everyone was silently waiting for the devil to make a decision. But his devilish eyes refused to depart from the only gem he had longed for. "Please tell them who instructed you to separate Miss Rosary's room? " came his voice " You boss" she replied. Stella was startled by the receptionist statement. She looked at Lim with an altered manner of breathing, her heart was beating so hard that the sound could almost be heard out. None of the handsome male models in her modeling circle could be compared to Lim. Without any utterance she shuddered under his sharp gaze and could not say a word. They thought maybe Laura spent the day moving around trying to get high cash for her next position and Stella believed Laura must have played her way into the modelling industry in the first place because the girl confessed she had no experience in modeling. Because there was no way it would be that easy for her to get into the industry, it really was unheard of . She th
They were all struck dumb for a moment, recording what just happened a minute ago still wreck in their heads. Did Mr Lim just defend a low life model? A girl who haven't cross into the line yet. They shifts their heads at Laura and stared at her astounded. What about this girl that draws everyone attention towards her just by a look on her. What so special about her? They wondered but no one dare to say a word out. Since Mr Lim can do this to their fellow colleagues that means he might do more if anyone speak bad about Laura. Everyone have their suspicious about what must have happened between the two. Why did Mr Lim stands for her? Did she have a relationship with the CEO in secret? Different thoughts runs through theirs mind and keep their thoughts to themselves since no one wants the wrath of the devil on them. Laura stood there dumbfounded and sick to what just happened. She can't even process it or thinks about it. What just happened? She asked herself, staring at the back feat
(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
