The man smirked. “I'm sorry, sir, but you have no authority over what happens in here, so I'd advise that you leave, or I will be forced to ask them to drag you down the stairs.”Tears welled in Lucas's eyes, his shoulders slumped, and his voice quivered as he spoke. “Let him go! He might just die from the pain. Please, I'm begging!”The man's lips parted into a deep smile. He said, “This is my job, and I hope you'll let me do it without any drama. Please, Mr. Lucas, take your leave, or I'd love to help you do that by all means possible.”With that, he walked back inside the room and slammed the door even before Lucas could follow him in. Lucas hit the door and began to scream. “Open up the fucking door! Let him go! I said let him go!”After a few minutes, Damian started to scream again in agony while Lucas was still outside. He slid down the door, hunched over, shoulders trembling with silent sobs as he kept hearing Damian scream for someone to come save him.Lucas made his way back

CHAPTER.Washington DC….This is your stop! I heaved a deep sigh of relief as the plane landed at the airport. I was back to all that I hated being around. I hated the city and the game being played, but not the people.It had been weeks since Vlad left me in Italy. I just hoped his mother was fine and recovering well enough.In the past weeks, I called him, and he said that the surgery was a success, but he still needed to stay with her for the time being. He assured me that he would be back in the next two days, and I didn’t tell him I was back in Washington, D.C. either. I wanted to surprise him and stay at his house, which was just a few steps away from mine.After a long ride, the car finally pulled up on the street, and the driver helped me take my luggage into Vlad's hallway.“Thank you, sir,” I said gratefully as I made my way to his door.As I stood in front of Vlad's door, I couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement. I was finally going to surprise him, and I couldn't wa

CHAPTER.I slowly sipped my wine, my legs crossed as I fixed my eyes on the television. I heard the press secretary telling the public about the campaign shift, but that wasn't my concern anymore.I just wanted to take my father out of Washington, D.C. He might have been a criminal in his past life, but staying in a cage for over a decade is enough punishment for his crimes. I wouldn't let my mom touch a hair on his head again.My phone rang, and when I picked it up, it was my dad. “What is it, Dad?” I asked.“Everything is wrong, Taylor. I have been locked in here for over two hours now, and all I could watch is the news. I should be on a plane now. What is happening?”I sighed. “The president has refused to give you any pardon, so I'm sorry, but you'll have to stay in there until your cases are filed again.”For the next few minutes, there was a sudden silence, and I couldn't help but wonder what was going on in his mind. He might be my father, but he still needed to answer to the l

CHAPTER Leon hesitated, unsure of how to respond. "Well, I... uh... I did offer, yes."Ivy's smile widened. "Yes, he did! And I would love to join him. Wouldn't that be lovely, Hailey?” She said, trying to get under her skin.” You can tidy up the office while I’m gone." Hailey's expression darkened, her eyes flashing with anger. She wanted to confront Leon—after all, she had ordered lunch for them both, and here he was, going out with his ex-girlfriend.Forcing a smile, she replied, "Okay, that’s fine. I’ll see you both later." Ivy's laughter sliced through the tension like a knife. "Oh, come on, Hailey. Don’t be like that. Leon and I have a lot to discuss... about the launch, of course." She paused deliberately, gauging Hailey's reaction, and it was exactly what she wanted.Leon met Hailey's gaze, a silent apology passing between them. But Ivy's grip on his arm was relentless, pulling him toward the door. "Shall we, Leon? I'm famished. Let’s take your car please” She said in a ver

A surrogate for my ex's uncle Chapter 1.REALISED A LITTLE TOO LATE.
Realised a little too late. Ivy raised her head to find her boyfriend Leon standing in front of the door with a white towel around his waist, one hand on the towel so it doesn't fall off and expose his nakedness, while her cousin sister laid on the bed butt naked as she clutched tightly on the package she had in her hands, her heart wrenching in pain at the sight of them. A minute ago, she had looked at the numbers inscribed on the door of the Santaro hotel before knocking. Ivy stood at the doorway, a neatly wrapped package in her hand when the man opened the door, only for her to see it was Leon. To her dismay, she saw him with another woman, but not just any woman - her own cousin! She felt as if she were in a nightmare. Could Leon truly be cheating on her? She held her breath, refusing to believe the unfolding scene before her. "Hailey," she called out, shock evident in her voice. In the hotel room was Ivy's boyfriend-Leon and her supposed cousin, Hailey, engaged in an in
A surrogate for my ex's uncle Chapter 2.YOU ARE FIRED!
You are fired! When Ivy got home, it was around 6:56 PM, but surprisingly, Leon wasn't there. He was supposed to be home by that time, but he wasn't. Ivy pulled out her phone and dialled his number, but each ring went unanswered. She didn't have a choice since her keys were locked inside. She sat out on the balcony of the house and waited for her boyfriend. She needed to talk to him about two things; firstly, she wanted him to try to defend himself,Atleast say that her cousin had seduced him, which would make her take him back. It was 9pm when Leon finally came back to the house. When he wanted to go in, he saw his girlfriend sleeping on the balcony. He hissed and entered the house. However, the alarm on Ivy's phone woke her up by 5:30 the next morning, and when she rose from the floor, she was disappointed that she had fallen asleep outside. But then, why did Leon not come back and carry her inside? She walked over to the door and turned the doorknob, surprisingly finding it u

Maybe it's payback time. At F&K financials. "What do you mean she wants to take over the company or pull down all of her shares?" Leon walked into his company, shock evident on his face as he dropped off his bag and walked over to his PA. "Sir, that was what the email entails, and our time has been exhausted already!" She hesitated. "We need to do something now." "This is clearly a breach of agreement! How could she want to take over a company that is not even hers? Who the hell is such a lunatic?" Leon felt a deep stab of annoyance in his stomach; he couldn't believe someone was trying to take away his company. The knock at the door snapped him out of his thoughts, and one of his staff quickly went to open the door. "Good morning... Who is the CEO of this company?" A tall, dark man asked. Leon turned around to lock eyes with them. Why were they looking for the CEO? He had never seen them in his entire life, but they looked like armed forces or military men, even if they
