"Just relax baby. Daddy just wants a welcome kiss" he muttered. She raised her hands against his chest and said " you must be very tired having to manage such a large company, aren't you? " The little woman never care about his love and not to talk about his work! What game is this little lamb trying to play with him? Lim gave her an I-know-what- you- want look, "Not tired" he replied lazily, but Laura didn't want to give up that easily. "How?" came Laura's quick question. "You are the CEO of the biggest group in America, dealing with many things and so many people every day. I believe you must have had a busy day and a lot to worry about. Why don't you just go in? Shower up and take your meal" she kept talking in his ear, in order to distract his burning desire for her. What a smart little woman, but he'd appreciate her little effort to draw his attention to something else. Lim laughed and stood straight, " You're talking so much today, like a real housewife. Seeing you like th
The man didn't pay more attention to the girl and bowed down his head. "Good afternoon, young master."Lim turned and saw a man laying down his head like a royal servant."You are here?" He said, and stood up from his chair. He signaled his hand to the man, who clearly understood what he meant and left the dining room with him."What brings you here" Lim asked sternly, as his expression became cold as ice."Your father sent me here" the man simply replied, with his head still facing the floor.Lim chuckled, what does that old man wants this time? He thought."Go to the point, Rich, and stop acting like a fool!" His voice was cold. Rich shivers under the sound of his voice and quickly reports the reason. He was here."Young master. Your father has sent me here to inform you about his up-coming birthday party. He really wants you to be there, young master.""Hmm, is that so?" Lim asked, creasing his eyebrows at the shivering man. Rich hates this. Why does the old man always send him to
"what are you saying?" Steve asked, not getting what the girl was trying to explain. "Sir, I am sure Laura has been kidnapped", Ava said, " Kidnapped? By who? " " I don't know but I am certainly someone who is powerful" Ava explained. Steve wasn't buying her word. Someone powerful? What was she trying to report? Steve wonder. Just that time, his phone dipped, distracting him. He looked at the caller ID. It was no one but his father! " Ava, I will call you back later" he said, hung up the call and answered his father's call instead. " Where are you! " Mr Smith snapped on the line.. Steve rolled his eyes but answered, " I am at home." " Home? What home? " " My private home, Dad" Mr Smith sighed. He just doesn't know why God blessed him with such a useless son who couldn't stand up for himself in society. He had always considered Steve a good- for- nothing son since the day he had chosen to go for his modeling company instead of the family heritage company. Mr Smith gritted his
"Smart moves" Charles murmured. He surely loved the way the game was going. "Alright", he stood up from the couch and grabbed his loose jacket and shirt on the floor."Get ready, you are going with me to Mr Walter's birthday party. Then, you seen your friend" he said without a spare glance at her." What? " Jasmine asked but got no response from Charles.. she just watched blankly at his retreating back."What is going on?" She asked herself, while her eyes were still on his back.******The Walters Mansion...Old Walter was seated on a couch waiting for Rich to show up with the worst news. He knew deep down that Lim would refuse his invitation to come to the party. In the past, Lim always came up with one excuse or the other to avoid the gathering of the whole family together. Then, Old Walter thought it was because of Mrs Walter until she died. Yet the boy didn't show up, not at her funeral, not come in sympathy with the family. But he never blamed the boy for his actions. In fact, h
Tiana was heated up in frustration. She couldn't believe that little scene she just made in Classy Ball was already displayed in the media! Written , #that, populous model Tiana was thrown out of Classy Ball like a dog. The post was pasta on top of the video. All the media platforms were picking up the news as it kept going viral within a minute. With this type of news, her reputation would easily get smashed! "Gosh! What's wrong with these social media? Can someone have privacy in her life!? " She shouted and threw the phone on the couch. This is a complete disaster! "Cat!" Tiana called angrily. Suddenly, a lady in a colored causal dress runs in like a mouse chased by a hungry cat. "Yes, Miss Tiana. You call" Cat said, and bowed low. "Yes you fool, I know I call!" Tiana snaps. Cat has been her personal assistant for years now. And she had gotten used to Tiana's outburst. She always like whether angry or happy! The girl has no respect or regard for anyone. She had always seen he
When Lim cut the call, his blue-sparkling eyes darted in the direction of the pure innocent girl. Who was feeding on her food like he was never beside her.. He smiled, looking at her pinkish lips as she scooped a spoon into her mouth. "Do you know how your lips work?" Lim asked with an amusing smile on his lips. Laura stopped eating and looked up at him. " It works hot when I kissed it" he stated. Laura pursed her lips. This shameful man, there's no shame in his voice as he speaks. "Bastard" she murmured inwardly, biting on her lips before she went back to her food like he never said anything shameless to her. "Are you going to ignore me the whole day?" Lim asked, creasing his eyebrows at her. "I am done!" Laura hurriedly asked, not wanting to spend more time with him in the same room. She stood up and head to the door, not caring if the devil responded to her words or not. Before she could hold the doorknob, a strong grip on her waist grabbed her back. She felt her back hit on t
" Lim, the phone!" Laura shouted on top of her voice to get his attention. Lim, who saw that the girl wouldn't give up, not until the phone was picked up. And who knows might be calling him at this time?"Yeah, I will answer it" he said, and release her, which Laura was grateful for.At least, he didn't take it too far.Lim sighed, and picked up the vibrating phone."Hello? " "Hello boss, the cat has been caught""Alright, I'll be here" Lim said, and cut the call.Immediately, his face was covered with a mocking smile, replaced with a serious cold look. He turned to Laura, who was catching her breath."Ma!" He called and turned away. Suddenly, a lady in her thirties dressed in a maid's uniform runs in."Milord" she bowed."I am leaving, make sure to take good care of her" he said, and didn't spare a look at Laura before he dragged on his loose jacket on the cushion of the couch and walked out the room.Laura stared at his retreating back and wondered if something might have happened.
Laura woke up from bed, feeling a little dizzy. She looked around and didn't see the devil she was expecting to see. Then, she realized he haven't come home since yesterday afternoon when he left. She wondered what must had happened that made him not to return home. "What's wrong with you Laura?" She scolded herself when she thinks she was missing his presence behind her on the bed. "I must be stupid" she mumbled and got down from the bed. Just at that moment, a gentle knock played on the room door. "Yes, who's there?" Laura asked. "Milady", a girlish, sweet voice answered behind the door. Immediately, Laura knew that it might be one of the house- maids. She walked lazily to the door and opened it. "Good morning Milady" the maid bowed. "Good morning" Laura answered, and looked around the corridor to see if the devil was there but he wasn't even in sight! "Laura!" She screams her name in her head. She didn't understand why suddenly a part of her was missing Lim! "Milady..." "I
(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
