Chapter 86:

Ariana sat on her couch with her legs crossed under her. It was a rainy Saturday and Lisa had come to spend time with her. It was supposed to be a regular weekend where she spent time with Lisa and Zion but today, Sarah meant to come but she and Zion were raining late.

Lisa had been poking her about Calhoun. It had been a week since she started working with Calhoun and it wasn't getting better.

"I don't know what to do Lisa. I literally melt when he is in front of me!" Ariana cried out.

"Wait, I am confused, when did you meet this guy, isn't a week ago?" Lisa asked Ariana. As far as she was concerned, Ariana just met the guy. How come she was melting?

Ariana pulled a pillow to her chest and hugged it. Even talking about it brought back memories of the nights they have spent together. Just two, yet it felt like it was a thousand times.

"Remember when I went out to the bar, a few months ago?" Ariana asked her.

Lisa moved her eyes around, thinking about the day Aria had come

    Chapter 87: "Grandfather, you didn't have to come here," Calhoun said hugging his grandfather. "I had to come. You were not returning any of my calls and I needed to speak with you urgently," Grandfather said as they walked into the large apartment at the highest building at the centre of the city. It was one of Calhoun's favourite houses whenever he was in the city. His grandfather knew that he would find him here. "You really shouldn't. Grandfather, you know i am very busy with this new clothing line I am trying to launch. Please come have a seat," he said as he ushered him to a seat. "Ah, don't worry about that my boy. I am here now, so we could as well just talk about what I came for," grandfather said as he settled into the seat. Calhoun was exactly like his son. He was always so serious with his work that he sometimes forgot about family. Not because he didn't love them but because he felt if he should be with his family then he should give them his hundred percent time and

    Chapter 88: With excruciating slow steps, she came toward him. She was in a dress so revealing and deliciously indecent. It was a white lacey and flowered short gown. It was painfully tight, so he wondered how she managed to walk with it. Unbelievably transparent, he wondered, too, the essence of wearing it at all when you could stay naked. She was barefooted, her long legs straight, smooth and silky. As she stretched out those long legs, taking slow steps towards him, it built his anticipation, each step skyrocketing his curiosity. She shone so brightly, implausibly emitting light like a bulb with so much energy and powerful electricity. She was the only thing lighting up the room, the room which he was yet to recognize. He was sure that he had seen an angel. At least, that was the only explanation he could give to something so incredible and impossible, realistically speaking. But an angel so indecently dressed? A fallen angel then, one certainly not from God. She was like

    Chapter 89:Calhoun threw his phone across the bed and walked to the television mounted on the right side of his bed. "What could possibly be wrong now?" He muttered to himself as he fetched the remote control from the side table beneath the television.The screen came to life and he scrolled through the channels. Zion didn't even say where exactly he should tune into but if it was as bad as hr was saying it then it had to be on business news. He was scrolling fast to get to the right channel when his eyes lingered on the entertainment channel. It was Alice."Silly woman," he hissed. He couldn't understand why the entire city worshipped her. To think that she even had the guts to ask him not to employ Ariana. "Crazy woman!" He muttered.But as he was about to change the channel, his eyes caught something on the message scrolling through the screen right under Alice Brentwood's bold name.It was his name. Calhoun Lawson."What?" He asked as he zoomed on the screen to see what was writ

    "Did you speak to Calhoun?" Mrs. Lawson senior asked.Mr. Lawson senior, walked slowly towards his bed and sat down. They had seen a note from the television station about the interview Alice Brentwood made before it even got to the media. This was why he went to Calhoun, hoping to get something. But he got nothing."That boy is just like his father," he said with a smile. "He won't say anything until next Sunday," he told his wife.Mrs. Lawson left the dressing table where she had been taking off her make up and jewelries to prepare for the night, "he is coming home?" She asked."Yes. He said he will come home and this time, he is bringing the girl he spoke of."Mrs. Lawson wasn't satisfied with his answer. "Did you confirm again if it is Alice or Ariana, that was her name right?"Mr. Lawson heaved a sigh. "We will just have to wait. I don't think we have another choice."She came and sat on the bed close to him. "But your friend will be worried. You promised him... We will lose a lo

    Ariana was shocked to see such an interview of Alice on the television. It felt like the Brentwood sisters were after her. Why did she have to be the one after Calhoun? Why?Why did she even fall for him?She stayed hidden in her room refusing to see him. She had told Lisa to stop him from coming to see her if at all he did come. Last time someone lied to her, was Ethan. And he had not even bothered to come offer an explanation until a few hours later.So, Aria felt Calhoun wouldn't come. Her heart almost exploded when she heard the door bell ring. Now that Lisa was by the door for minutes, she knew it wasn't Zion, it was Calhoun. He had come for an explanation.She had to admit, this made her feel a bit better but it wasn't an assurance. The Lawson and the Brentwood were really powerful families. It made sense that their children would want to get married with one another. What did a simple girl like her have to offer?She hugged her pillow and sniffed away her tears. This thing call

Just as the emotions swerved within her body without control, she couldn't tell what exactly she was feeling in one second."Tell me that didn't just happen?!" She exclaimed pointed excitedly at the door.Aria furrowed her brows in shrug and resulted to slumping on the couch but Lisa was not having it. She released another girlish scream and fanned herself."Baby girl! You are so made! Calhoun Lawson just asked you to marry him! Didn't you hear him? Why are you sitting and acting like you didn't just get the most exciting news in your life!?" She exclaimed jumping in over excitement.Aria clutched the pillow she had brought with her from the room unto her chest and just stared at her friend with a scowl on her f

No one messed up with Calhoun Lawson's affairs and went away with it."Good morning Sir!"Calhoun moved his eyes to the direction of the voice and saw Zion smiling politely in front of him. He simply nodded and continued to his own private elevator. But as he started walking down the corridor, Zion followed behind him.

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...

    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..."

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.

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.
