Chapter 72:

Monday finally came and Ariana Brown didn't feel so confident anymore. She rolled on the bed waiting for her bedside clock to read six o'clock so she could go take a shower and prepare herself. She had gone back to the mail and it said she had to resume by nine o'clock that morning to await the CEO's arrival thirty minutes after that.

What if he rejected her?

What if he thought she was incompetent and that was why Alice fired her?

So many questions came to her mind and her head became heavy on her shoulder. What would she do?

She needed to read. He might ask her questions, she had to be prepared. she jumped off her bed and went to her reading table just a few feet from her bed. She pulled one of her management textbooks and started flipping through the pages.

She squinted her eyes at the book trying to picture what she was seeing but nothing came to her mind. The letters looked jumbled and she couldn't read them. She was too anxious. Her heart was already beating at a very

    Chapter 73:Mr. Lawson's chair was facing the large glass window behind him and as Zion spoke, he slowly turned the chair in their direction and Aria thought she had seen a ghost."You!"Zion turned to glare at me and I didn't even pay him any attention. The person I was seeing in that chair couldn't possibly be Mr. Lawson. It couldn't."Carl?" I asked just to be sure even if my eyes were looking at the devil smirk at me.He wasn't a tidbit surprised, he knew exactly what he was doing. He knew about this. Was this some kind of acting? Did he have a look-alike?My vision and my brain refused to correlate. I felt intense pain on the side of my head and I thought I would go mad. How could Carl, a sex worker be Mr. Lawson, owner, and CEO of the famous and powerful Lawson Group? How?I turned back to Zion, who remained by the door watching our reaction. While I acted like I had gone crazy, Carl had a satisfactory smirk on his face."Zion, is this your boss?" Aria squealed trying to lower h

He knew that Alice Brentwood had been giving his Ariana a lot of stress in the office and he couldn't be happier that she needed a job and one of his workers was a friend of hers.He had issues with the final signature because he knew that one would have his full name on it but he gambled with the fact that she would be too excited to check and the shock on her face said exactly that. Ariana had not checked to read what her boss's name was and what he looked like.Ariana turned around to peek at him before running out of his door. Calhoun sat back in his chair with a satisfactory smirk. Now that Ariana was just a few inches away from him, all he had to do now was show her his love.His phone started blaring, peeling him off his beautiful thoughts. He snatched the device off

Was the fool not doing her job?She needed to talk to Calhoun it was very urgent. She would have called his private line but he had blatantly refused to give her his number no matter how hard she tried."Alice you need to calm down. I am sure the secretary will reply. Don't increase your blood pressure by running around like this?" Sofia said from the corner of the office.She had been sulking about Ethan but since her sister also had problems of her own she had settled in a corner and had her legs propped on the table as she went through her phone."You know, when I marry Calhoun eventually, I am going to make sure, he sacks that annoying secretary of his! The silly woman never passes my messages I swear it!" Alice spat.Sofia rolled her eyes and focused on her phone, leaving her sister to rant about her probl

    Chapter 76:Aria was in a dilemma. She walked out of Calhoun's office and headed to the elevator like a Zombie. She still couldn't believe what she had seen with her own two eyes.How could he be Mr. Lawson? Of all the people in the city, it had to be Carl!"Oh my God!" She whispered as she got into the elevator. She couldn't think straight.She felt ashamed, scared, and shocked all at once. She remembered the day she had gone to that cursed bar, to begin with. The way she had pointed at Calhoun among his guards.She knew now that those men were his guards. The entire bar had gone silent at the sound of her voice. She was drunk at the time but she knew exactly what she was doing. The only problem now was that she had picked the wrong person. Calhoun wasn't supposed to be the president of the Lawson's group. He was supposed to be a sex worker."Aria, how did it go?" Zion asked shocking her out of her thoughts.She was standing outside the elevator now and for a second she lost her sens

Her blonde hair was sleeked to the back of her skull like an alien princess that have seen too many good days to understand how to treat lower people. She strutted towards the elevator without having the need to go to the receptionist and that one didn't dare stop her to ask where she was heading to.Even the elevator seemed to be scared of her as it moved without a sound up to the floor she had commanded it to go. The only thing left out of her ensemble was a tail for everyone that saw the woman walking down the corridor, shuffled far away. She was a true representation of the devil in the corporate world.Alice Brentwood.She stepped out of the elevator and moved with enough confidence to defeat even the most beautiful of pageants. She got to Calhoun's door and took a deep breathe like she was calming her already

It was late in the evening and she didn't realize how stressed she was until she slept off. She wouldn't have been up to it if not for the phone that had started blaring.Without checking who it was, she picked it up and placed it on her ear. "Hello," she replied with a sleepy voice."When your voice sounds this sexy, I have no choice but to stroke my cock, Ariana..."The sound of his voice got all the sleep out of her system. She got up from bed immediately and clutched the phone to her ears.It was Carl!Her heart started beating at a very fast rate and her core got tighter as she tried to control her hormones. She was going hyper just thinking of what to do."You owe me something, Ariana... Do you remember?" He asked in a voice Ariana could only describe as sensual torture. How could she work with this man?"Ariana... Say something," he whispered and Ariana felt the

Back then she thought he was a sex worker, not the popular and the richest man in the city!"I made that deal with someone who I thought was a sex worker, not you," she said stealing a glance at him. "You should have told me that night. I wouldn't have bothered you," she added.Calhoun took another impossibly close step to her and she was forced to move into the door. Her back was flat on the door and her eyes searched for what to focus on.He kept coming closer and the air became filled with scents of him. He was in her private space and she couldn't move without touching or rubbing into him. She stole another glance at him and saw that he was watching her every move. The fire in his eyes was enough to send her folds into another meltdown. No one had so much effect on her. She couldn't control herself around him. He was hovering over her and she became restless again. She searched for words to say to save herself from the doom

Now she was repeating the same thing all over again."Last time, you were drunk out of your mind. I hope you can take it now," Calhoun whispered as he came hovering above her."I wasn't that drunk..." She retorted and Calhoun smirked.He was tricking her. She thought he wanted a nightstand. But he wanted everything. He wanted her for himself. What he felt for her wasn't just about the passion, he fell in love with the fiery young woman the first time he set his eyes on her. He knew he would end yo marrying her no matter the odds."Think what you want beautiful... I am going to eat you out," he said as he lowered himself to her panties level.

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..."

    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.

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.

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.
