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
Without much thought, Mr Robin pulled her forcefully despite her fighting and struggling. "Where do you think you're taking her to?" A deep cold voice asked that sent shrivers down to the spine of everyone in the room. "Mr Charles" Jasmine whispered softly from her lips. Everyone was stunned and stuck dumb on their themselves. They couldn't process the fact that the man standing at the entrance of the door was no one but the demon they were trying to separate the girl from. "Where are you taking her to?" He repeated again. This time more cold and sternly. Suddenly, Mr Robin redrawed his grip on the girl. "Mr Charles!" Mr Williams called playfully. " What a great surprise. I never thought I could get the chance to see you again. Such a long time", he stretched forth his hand for a shake, but Charles did not give a fuck about that. His full attention was on the girl's pale face. She seemed sad. Since Mr Williams was there, he completely concluded he must be the reason for the girl'
Charles loved the looks of horror on the faces of Mr Williams and his accomplished Mr Robin. He loved the looks of fear and terror in their eyes. Just what he wants to see, their fear. "Scared kittens", he sneered. Hearing what Charles had just said, Mr Williams composed himself well to show he wasn't affected by the devil's calls. " Who's that Mr Charles?" Mr Williams asked heartedly. "Oh the devil" Charles answered, not even giving the old man a glance. "Hello?" He answered the call while Jasmine, who sat beside him, shivered. She couldn't understand why her body reacted that way, but maybe it was because of the call. She concluded, couldn't be able to bear more of the fear growing in her. She wanted to stand up and walk away but, she was held back by Charles. "Where are you going?" "To the bathroom" Jasmine answered. It would be better if she lied. Why can't Charles read the looks in her eyes and let her go! She can't bear the heat in here! For Chris' sake! That's the same man
Laura hotel room. She had managed to get herself ready on time, since the treatment doctor Sam had applied on her feet. It feels better that she can walk with it. Gently, she made her way out of the room and down to the stairs. Just on her way back, she barges into someone accidentally. "Oh shit!" The lady cursed. But when she saw the lady's face, she quickly apologized again and again. The lady wasn't just a simple lady, she was dressed in stylist's clothes, looking breath-taking. She appeared to be no other than Tiana. "Miss Tiana, I am sorry. I have no idea you are on the way?" Laura said. Tiana, who was about to curse with pain and hatred, quickly composed herself. After her last contact with Lim that morning, she didn't want to do anything that would provoke him. But for sure, she won't give up that easily. This girl would be out of the contract in one way or the other. It is just a matter of time. "You don't have to apologize, okay? Hope your body is alright now." Laura
At 12 pm, classical music resounded off the wall of the hotel lounge. The show had begun and the girls started going up the stage and down, displaying their beautiful outfits and professional steps like the professional models they had been trained to. Inside the dressing room, Laura's make-up was complete and she was now standing in front of the mirror in anticipation. Wearing a golden tight- fitting long dress, simple but classic, adoring the beautiful silver necklace giving off a beautiful appearance. Her blonde hair was tied back away from her face with a rose, she was absolutely stunning, like a pure angel descending on earth. Adam was speechless as he looked at the girl blankly. Inside he was thinking. If Laura were to stand still, she would surely attract the attention of everyone around her. No matter of time, the girl can be posted as one of the top models due to her incredible beauty. She would surely grow up famous soon. "You look beautiful!" Adam finally proclaimed. No o
The crowd was still on their feet applauding the beautiful performance of the goddess. Laura feels a little proud of herself when she steps off of the stage. She couldn't believe it either. "Did I just walk the catwalks in there?" She asked herself inwardly, smiling at her beautiful herself. Just then, she felt a slight pain in her feet before she could recall the pain, "Oh my darling!" Adams exclaimed excitably. Before, he blew a kiss on both of Laura's cheeks. "I'm so proud of you darling. You kill it out there!" Laura blushed faintly. "Thank you Mr Adam, but I think I tried" she said. "Tried you say? You're more than trying, darling. You're amazing! I just feel like crying right now! You're like a super model out there. I wish Steve had been there to see that! " Adam exclaimed while fanning his face with his palms like he was actually crying. Laura blinks at his reaction. This man is filled with dramatic shows, no wonder Steve easily gets tried by him! "Who said I missed the
(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
