Claiming the Billionaires Frosty Heart TAKING CHANCES
WRITER'S POVIt had been over an hour since Karen confirmed she had been called and she had missed the interview. But she couldn't bring herself to leave the interviewing surroundings. What was the essence of leaving? Where was she going to go? Lost in her own thoughts, staring at things but seeing nothing, people walked in and out of the interviewing room. One after the other, people got interviewed. The place got emptier by the minutes. The woman calling out names came out each time announcing a new person to get ready to be interviewed next. Karen wished for a moment that the woman would change her mind and let her be interviewed. But the woman never said a word to her the entire time. It was as if she never saw her. Deep into the afternoon and it was now remaining just a woman waiting to be interviewed. Tiffany sat up and scanned around. How could she just go? She looked at herself. She hadn't even been able to get some quality sleep the past nights. All for this interview.

WRITER'S POVJay finished the last of the documents he had brought home to look through. He had been so tired the previous night he couldn't do it and dozed off as soon as his body touched the sheets. He lowered the papers and covered the laptop. His eyes found the wall clock. It was already past twelve noon. He wasn't planning on turning in early for work that day and wasn't bothered. He sighed as he stood up. Yawned and stretched. It had been over five hours he was seated going through the documents. He then remembered he was informed a few hours ago by one of the servants to have his breakfast. He made his way out of his room. Perhaps he could eat with his grandfather. In front of his grandfather's room, a memory flashed in his mind. It was the exact spot he had fired Karen the very first day he had seen her in his house. His mind drifted. He refused to agree that Hugo was right. That he had joined the interview because of Karen. Although he had to quickly end his meeting t

WRITER'S POV“I am done for,” Karen mumbled, sprawled on the floor. She looked at the door that just went shut where Jay had disappeared into. Was he aware?Was it just her eyes or did she really see a hint of smirk in his face?She couldn't tell but one thing was certain, she could not accept this job. But she needed it. She needed it so desperately. She sighed heavily and began to pull herself up from the floor. Karen couldn't help but think of her luck as she trudged home.She was just about to call Tina when her phone started ringing. It was Tina calling.“So much for I will be posted to one of their subsidiaries…” Karen muttered and stared fixedly at her ringing phone. “I was just about to you…”“How was it? Do you think you did well in the interview? How were their faces?” Tina’s questions bombarded Karen's ears. She had to slightly shift her phone away from her ears. “You said Mr Jay wouldn't be there.”“Wait…was he present? Really?! That's strange.”“Yes. Very strange,”

Karen knocked once on the door just as she had seen Mrs Connie do before she entered. As she expected, Jay was engrossed with work. For some seconds she stood wondering what she was supposed to say. If she was supposed to say something or just delve straight to what had brought her to his office. “Yes? How can I help you?”Jay asked, breaking into her contemplation thoughts. Karen snapped back. “Sir, this…”Jay's eyes left his desk and fell upon her. Karen felt her tongue hook to the roof of her mouth. “I really had no idea I was going to be in your presence ever again. It's just that I really needed this job and…”Jay's eyes left her and focused back on his desk. Not a word did he say. Karen swallowed and bit her lips. He was going to act like he didn't know her. Fine. It was better he acted that way. It would make things a lot easier for her. “How may I help you?” Jay asked again. Karen felt a bitter bile rose in her chest. Her hand clutched tighter on the file she held an

Mr Hugo finished parking Jay's briefcase for his meeting. “Sir, do I have to come along now that Miss Karen will be present for this meeting?” Mr Hugo asked as he handed Jay the briefcase. Jay collected it. “What is it, Mr Hugo? Do you have somewhere else to be?”“I… no, it's nothing. I will get the car ready at once.”Mr Hugo turned and headed for the exit. “You are dismissed.”He heard Jay say and immediately halted. “What?”“Go home and take your family to some fine dinner. Say happy birthday to Junior on my behalf.”Mr Hugo’s ears twitched. His heart swelled with gratitude and a sense of validation and importance took him. Jay hadn't forgotten what the day was to him. It was his son's birthday and that morning before he left for work, he had promised to be home earlier to spend time with them. “You remembered.” He mumbled. Jay casted him a glance. Then he made a nonchalant shrug. “Well, I owe junior one so I am fulfilling it by doing this. Tell him one of these I might pop i

“Oh no! I’m sorry… I'm so sorry…” Karen muttered hastily as she knelt and began to pack the scattered things. Every eye rested on her including Carol Fowler’s and Jay's. A hurried footsteps followed immediately. The hotel staff that left to check for a vacant room was back. She whispered something into the ears of Director Harvey. Director Harvey immediately turned towards Jay, relieved. “Chairman Jay, good news. I have just been informed by my staff here that one of the best meeting rooms is available. Shall we head down there right away?’Carlos was infuriated for the interruption and glared down at Karen. He had ruined his moment to destroy Jay's image. He continued to glare down at Karen who stylishly avoided raising her face up for fear that he might recognize her. Jay saw Karen's body reactions. And quickly caught on. “Have a good meeting, vice chairman Carlos Fowler,” he smirked at Carlos and then went to Karen. He made to stand in a way to prevent Carlos from getting a

Thankfully, Mr Hank’s presentation impressed Jay, giving him no room to regret not giving Miss Kimberly and Miss Sheila a chance. Karen managed to focus during Mr Hank's presentation but she found herself wandering off at intervals. She had a feeling Jay behaved out of ordinary for a reason. A reason she couldn't quite put a grasp on. Jay stood up. “Mr Hank, that is a good presentation but it is lacking in some things. Make a revision on the areas I commented on and send it to my secretary.”“Yes sir. I will not disappoint you chairman,” said enthusiastic Mr Hank. As if he knew the meeting was over, Director Harvey trotted into the meeting room. Walking closely behind him was a slim and tall woman. “I must be here at the right time. Chairman Jay, at your order, Miss Maggie here would give you a tour of Conil Hotels and you can taste our fine dishes and services. Of course it can't compare to that of Adams but I do hope we will be able to impress you.”Jay turned around toward Kare

CARLOS FOWLER'S HOUSE“Damnit!” Carlos Fowler growled. In a matter of seconds, he shoved off his suit coat and tore off his neck tie. His teeth grinded in his mouth as he stormed to the wine cabinet and grabbed a bottle of Penfolds Grange. Mr Garrison, his secretary sprawled on his knees, sweat had broken out on his face as he rubbed his damp palms on his pants. “I'm sorry sir… I didn't know Chairman Jay would be there…it will never happen again sir.”Carlos pulled out a wine glass and poured the wine into it. He downed the entire content. And then threw the glass at Mr Garrison. It missed Mr Garrison and crashed on the floor, shattering into pieces. “Did you just dodge?” he asked as he marched to him. “No…sir…I didn't dodge…” Mr Garrison stuttered, feeling the stiffness around his neck increased by more than a notch. Carlos' eyes darkened. “Ah, you mean I am the fool that missed my target? Stand up.”“Forgive me sir…”“I said fuvking stand up!”Mr Garrison scampered up at once.

KAREN'S POV Arriving at Denva after one month of being away felt like I had been away for so long. Like I was stepping in a new place. Maybe it was just that part of me that was feeling a bit refreshed. I got out of the long bus dragging my echolac along. One of the things I wanted to do the moment I returned to Denva was visit Jessica. Glad she was being punished for her crimes. I also heard about Collins Morgan. Maybe at one point, I thought he was cute but not until I learned the other side of him. After I read the things he did to women, I could never see him in a pure light again. He was in jail too. He got what he deserved. As I sat in the visitor seat waiting for them to bring Jessica out, I imagined me being the one on the other side. I mean, it was almost me if not for Tina “I didn't expect to see you here. What is it?” Jessica slurred as she settled down. “Me neither.”“So?

A MONTH LATERJay pulled up in the empty space of Anderson ‘s front yard which had turned to become his personal parking space in the last month. He had just opened the car door to step down when the frontage of the house opened and both Lily and Mr Anderson poked their heads out. He didn't need them to speak to see the magnitude of disappointment in their eyes. Of course he knew they would rather have Karen be the one appearing in front of the house and not him. And he also knew they always ran out to check each time a car pulled up in front of the house in the hope that it was Karen. They might likely not know because he never showed it but he missed her more than he could describe. He sighed and his teeth grinded in his mouth as he finally stepped down. “Hello, Mr Anderson,” he greeted wearing the smile he had learned to wear in the last month. Mr Anderson, like he always had done, took his hand into a firm shake and welcomed him inside. Mr Anderson offered him his usual kol

WRITER'S POV“You…how…what are you doing here?” Margaret waved a hand as she walked in majestically. “Hello fiancé.” Collins gaped in shock. slowly everything began to make sense. “What did you do to me?” He snarled. “Oh, come on, shouldn’t you say Hi to your fiance first?”“What did you fuvking do to me!”Detective Defoe ordered that Zach and Hunter be taken away from the room leaving only Collins and Margaret. Collins was still clenching and fuming. “You have been spiking my drinks…you are the cause of all this…”“Like how you and your friends have been doing to those innocent girls? Oh, common' you don't think I can stoop to that level now do you.”No matter how much Collins reasoned it, there was no other explanation as to how drugs were detected in his blood. Either detective Defoe tampered with the original results or it was the devil before him. “What exactly did I do to you? Why are you out to get me? Why! Why! No matter how I think about it, I have not offended you in any

WRITER'S POV Jay spoke to the lawyer in charge of Karen's case. What the lawyer told him worried him. Karen risked being detained in the holding cell after twenty four hours. He had already hired a private investigator to investigate the case. His eyes appeared weary. He had not had a moment of rest ever since Karen was taken in. Adams group needed him but Karen needed him too. Against Hugo's wishes, he had opted to stay back in the police station while he let him hold the forte back at the company. Even though Karen sent him away, he had refused to leave. He knew she was upset at him and he completely understood. All he wanted more than anything was to get her out of here. Later he spoke to the officer to let him speak to Karen again. To his relief, Karen permitted. “I spoke to your lawyer,” he said when they were given privacy. “What did he say?”“It's more difficult than we thought. The hitman maintains you sent him. We need solid evidence to disprove his claim and I asked t

WRITER'S POV “Your hands at the back of your head!”Zach's gleeful laughter was booming in the room when the door burst open and a team of policemen barged in. Instantly it seized. Pistols aimed at their faces.Alarmed, Collins sat up. Hunter and Zach frightfully pushed away the girl who looked half dead from the drugs she had been made to shove down. “Who called the cops?” Collins gritted, shooting glares at Zach and Hunter. “We should be asking you that!” Zach slammed back.“Your hands at the back of your head!” The officer repeated his warning. Collins could feel his shirt soak with sudden perspiration as he looked around in utmost disbelief and fear inside. He had been arrested for a lot of things but had never been caught right in the act and why in this place of all places. “Shit!”Detective Defoe stepped forward, a victorious smirk lingering in his lip. “Is there a need for us to read your Miranda rights…this wouldn't be your first rodeo,” he said and pressed the cuff firml

WRITER'S POV A FEW HOURS AGO BEFORE KAREN'S ARREST “What!” Jessica's yelp and her palm finding Craig's face happened in quick succession. “Say it again. What did you just say?”Craig’s jaw grinded. It pained him how he had been foolish to want to accept the challenge of tolerating a spoiled brat. Now he was too deep into the shit to take a step back. “It was Miss Tina that was shot. The hit man mistook her for miss Karen as she saw her coming out of Miss Karen's house.”“Simple job! Just a simple thing to do. Useless people! Can't get anything done right.” Then she spun at Craig, “You brought that idiot to me. You told me he was skilled. What happened? He couldn't take care of one person, just one person! He has been caught and he shot the wrong person. Who did you fuvking bring to me!”She stalked to the wine rack to grab a drink, each step she took fueled by barely contained fury. She had to do something before the man said a word to the police. She had to do something. She had
Claiming the Billionaires Frosty Heart NUMB
KAREN'S POV From learning that my friend got shot to hearing the worst news of my life. My friend of many years had wanted me dead because she wanted my man. I couldn't move in my seat. I couldn't, even if I wanted to. I shut my eyes hoping to wake up and find out that everything was all a nightmare until I felt my hand being grabbed and the cold metals clasping my wrist. Maybe it was because I was already numb of any feelings at all that I didn’t feel a pain as the thing locked my arms together. As I was being cuffed, I heard Jay try to speak to one of the officers. Didn't make out his exact words nor the officer’s response but soon they started to take me away. Down the hallway, the pitiful and judgemental gazes of people washed me head to toes. I followed humbly as they led me outside. “I'm coming to the station with her,” I heard Jay say to the officers as they pushed me into the hilux. “No. You don't need to. Officers let's go,” I refused. The last thing I wanted was to wa

WRITER'S POV“What’s wrong?”Jay asked frozen Karen. Karen didn't move. Her hand dropped lifelessly beside her. Every bit of colour was drained from her face as she struggled to process what she had just heard.“I’m sorry, but I have to leave now,” she mumbled absentmindedly and her legs broke into a run. “Wait, Karen!” Jay rushed and grabbed her arm.“You are going the wrong way,” he said. Karen looked and saw she was heading towards the back of the building. She let out a shuddering breath. “I have to go…”“Please, tell me. What's wrong?” Jay demanded softly. “Tina was shot in front of my house,” Karen murmured. “Shot? How…”“I need to leave now. I need to go to her…Tina needs me…” Maybe this was the answer she needed. Tina was more than a best friend. She was her family and she would not have to be made to either choose her or not in order to be with a man. If there was one person who had always been by her side and she would never want to lose, it was Tina. “Jay, about what y
Claiming the Billionaires Frosty Heart TOUGH CHOICE
KAREN'S POV It was one of the fewest times I ever wished twenty four hours didn't have to end so quickly. After the exhilarating night, it would have been exhausting if I had to wake up early the next day for work or anything at all. It was already mid day by the time my eyes saw daylight. It was the warm light rays that woke me up. The window, although still closed, allowed a generous trail of sun rays trickling inside. Jay was nowhere to be found. Thinking he would be somewhere in the suite, I called out to him but no response.Something in me kicked. I had seen a similar scenario. Like those times when a man brought his lover for a vacation only for the woman to learn it was actually supposed to be their last time together. Stepping outside the suite and I was welcomed by the workers going about their duties with the nice smell of food and fresheners. I walked up to one of them. “Hello. Excuse me…have you seen a man…”“Yes. He is somewhere around. How about you sit in the wa
