He take a deep thought before he strode into the office room. There will only be one reason the Demon have called him to his office, it will rather be his business plans and nothing more. He had never shows him love like the way father loved and cared for his child. All he wants, for Steve to do things he that pleased him, taking over the family business while the young man have his own dreams to followed. His passion for fashion and modeling. That have been his dream right from the beginning! But the man he called father, never wants to hear of that or even seen him in that company. His father was on focus on his business than his own family. The man was a demon business man, A man that was so greedy and always want more in his life. Becoming the third richest man in city, wasn't enough with him. He still envy the powerful family in the city. The Walters. He had tried everything to be compared with the Walters but never have a chance comes. How wish his son will paid more time in th
Laura stumped tirelessly on her bed. Today have been one of the exhausted day ever. She couldn't anticipate what just happened in the closet room. Tiana appeared to be a demoness lady in there. The girls have been practicing all through the day, from sunset to moonset. It's wasn't easy though, as the steps were hard to keep up with. She told them to demonstrate a straight cat walk which was difficult for some of the girls who haven't been able to know more steps in the field. It was really frustrating and annoying at the same time since she couldn't give them a break! The worst path, Tiana attention seem to been on Laura all through the participation. Her eyes never give the girl a breathing space! She mocked in slient when she saw the girl was worse in every aspects of modelling. In spite of her pretty face and shaped. A five year old child is well better than her. "Such a loser, you think you can make it to the next step?" Tiana asked inwardly as she glanced joyfully at the girl
Laura cannot fancy what's the receptionist problem if her feet is swollen or not. Thus she just a resident in the hotel and not a president daughter. Even with her unpleasant looks on her face, that do not make the receptionist to stop her undying care. Laura won't understand the receptionists intention. It would be would be better if she cares for the boss woman otherwise, there would be a different story when the boss find out his woman have a swollen feets and no one care for her that would mean death! To Laura is just a feet because she didn't know the position she is but the receptionist it's seen as a trouble. Must miss Tiana be this wicked? Why did she gives the girls a hard steps. What if I didn't come to her to check her up. I wouldn't have find out and if the boss find out early than anyone his woman have a swollen feet. We all be in trouble" The receptionist complaint inwardly. She hate the slight of that fancy model who seen herself on top the world. " I have told you
A perfect and graceful figure stood at the end of the balcony, glancing in far distance with no direction. His handsome devilish face glow due to the beauty of morning sun reflecting on it. He was like a godly man descend on earth. Charming and captivating but dark inside. In spite of the gorgeous appearance this figure execute but his face was filled of coldness and subduedness. He couldn't get a good night sleep late night after the report Fred bought to him. Why? Why haven't he been able to sleep all because of this girl. She becomes a part of him that he could not understand. He was so restless late night that he did not have a good night sleep. His thoughts, mind were all occupied by her! He tried to peek on her late night all because of her swollen feet but he restricted himself back. He should give her some space. All he had planned, after the shooting for three days, Laura will be his forever! He will make sure of that she goes back home with him not some block headed guy th
Laura subsisted on bitting on her lower lips to thinks of what to say to them. What she is wearing under was so short. The short nighties in fact reveal her under pants! That's to tell how too short it is!She was more in tense in embarrassment."He would bare to look at you when I am here"Immediately Laura lit her face to meet his burning gaze. Something never feel right. Why did she feels so uneasy around this guy. It seem she might have met him before but where? The more dilemma situations. This man remind her of Mr A!"Let me" he said warmly, like he was talking to his wife. Before Laura could think of obliging. Lim simply raised up a half side of the blanket to reveal her feet only..Sam was shocked!. Did the devil just care for someone? He was short of word and couldn't understand what happening in front of him.Lim who never care like this to anyone. Who this girl that have drwas the devil attention?Laura watch the way he moved the blanket side a little. Slowly and softly his
The girls present were all struck dumb.The man coming were dressed in a black pure suits, tall, broad- shouldered, and slim. He was endowed with a noble and dignified manner, which made him sterner.His blue sparkling eyes now flared with anger, falling coldly on Tiana. The bitch hurt the feet of his woman! He was burning in rage but never shows it out.Tiana shudder and lower her head. She couldn't understand while Lim came to support the low class girl? Isn't she his woman who deserve his care and support? Tiana thought confusedly.The room become slient like the dry desert. She could feel her heart pounding While the devil walked to her in a ghost steps. He stop few inches away from her."Laura, isn't coming to the practice today. She need to rest because of her swollen feet" he said coldly and sternly.Tiana blinks, " she has a swollen feet? Oh my gosh!' she exclaimed pretended. "Is .. she fine? No one even told me about it. Hope she is alright, now"Lim smirk devilishly, such a
Jasmine have been in her room for a day now. Thinking and trying to stop this unwanted feeling that was growing inside of her. She just can't stop thinking about the kiss! What the hell have Charles done to her that she can't get back to her usual self! What! She kicks frustratingly on her desk. Kicking on it to inflict her anger and frustration on the poor desk. "Gosh I hate this!" She gets tired and stump on her bed lazily. Close her eyes and open them again. "What's happening to you Jasmine?" She whispered. Pick up her phone and check the call contact to seen if Charles might have call her. But no sight of miss calls on her phone! Not even a single message! But, while is she bother if Charles call her or not! " I must be stupid! " She murmured and spank her head. " This is frustrating, gosh! Why can't I just get over a kiss! " She stumped on the bed again. Just then, a knock hit on the door gently. " Who is there! " She asked. " Milady, someone is here to see you" A maid an
"just stop it!" Mr Williams shouted. He just can't take it. Jasmine is his only daughter and precious diamond. He just can't lose her the same way he have lost her mother. He came here to explained himself to his daughter. He had never meant for any of that to happen. He never meant to hurt his precious wife Mrs Williams. It was a painful day for all the family members. His heart was broken and shattered when the news of his dead wide was bought to him. He wasn't home that moment she had a panic that lead to her death. He really wants to settle things with his family. A way to make up for his mistakes and affair he accidentally had with his secretary. It have happened years ago. He was drunk and horny that night when he arrives home from one of his friends party club. Mrs Williams was not at home that night. He stumped on the couch drunken like a mad man. Speaking to himself when it seen to him, he was in a meeting conversation with business men. What to say? Drunkenness... Yeah bl
(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
