Claiming the Billionaires Frosty Heart MAKE UP
“What?” Jay spun around almost knocking off the fancy lamp on the table. His brows furrowed. “Why didn't you tell me?” “She asked me not to—”His head tilted back and he stared unbelievably at Hugo.”When did you begin to do everything Karen asks you to do? And when did you begin to obey her orders? You know how dangerous Carlos Fowler is and you are just telling me. What—”Exhaling in frustration, he disregarded the rest of his complaints which he knew wouldn't change anything that moment and quickly finished wearing his neck tie. Ignoring the coat Hugo was extending to him, he dashed out. Inside the car he glanced at his wristwatch. It was past 7: 30 am. Karen was most probably going to still be at home. He groaned hoping he wouldn't miss her. He was upset with himself. Usually the business trip was supposed to not last more than three days. However he was happy to finally be away and in a bid to get Tina and Jessica off his tail much longer, he had stayed longer than planned. An

Jay nodded and flashed a smile towards Mrs Connie and then hummed into his office. Jessica wasn't at her desk as he passed. He had a feeling he would be having a great day. He took off his coat and hung it in the rack. Then settled into his seat and delved into work. Being away for one week took him away from some troubles but gathered more work for him. He sighed. There just seemed to be no rest for him. But then a smile curled up in his mouth. True no rest for me but then he didn't mind no rest in the arms of Karen.“Hello Jay. Good morning. Did you sleep well?” Jay looked up to see Jessica unaware of when she had entered. “You won't pick up my calls. Well, I have news. I am pregnant.”“What?”“You heard me. I am pregnant. I am carrying your child.”Jay slowly sat up in his seat. His head whirled. After a moment he stood up. “What the hell are you saying? Look, Jessica, stop messing with my head. I already told you nothing can happen between us again.”“Oh well, this isn't my fau

TINA'S POV Calling Jay seems not to work anymore. He must have marked my number ever since the first time I called him with it because even though it usually rang each time I called, he never picked up.Physical meeting became my best option. I wasn't going to go soft on him. I was going to remind him of our deal. If he had forgotten what I could do with the card I was wielding, it was best I reminded him. That morning, immediately I dropped my bag in the office, and I headed over to his office. On getting to his office, the middle aged secretary informed me he was in a meeting with someone. I expected to see Jessica at her desk but her seat was empty. Recalling Karen's suspicions of her, I became somewhat alarmed. Something told me she was the one in Jay's office. Karen had always told me how strict and extremely professional Mrs Connie was. But seeing as she allowed me to wait for Jay to be done with his meeting without making a fuss, I was certain Jay must have informed her

TINA'S POV Karen stepped out of the elevator hastily. “Are you coming from Jay's office?” “Urhm yeah sort of,” I said and hoped she didn't ask further. “Oh, about work? Is your boss stressing you out a lot these days?” she asked, glancing past my head towards Jay's office. “Not really. Well, where are you going? Don't tell me you are going to see Jay. We agreed you'd stay away from him to make him miss you.”“Not that…the news.”“The news, yeah. That man was the man that kidnapped you back then.“Yes. You remember him alright. He turned himself in.”“Oh c'mon. How could I have forgotten the man that tried to hurt my best friend. But Jay just left now.”“Jay? You call him Jay now?” Oh shoot. “I mean chairman Jay but what does it matter? He was your man and it's not bad to call him Jay when it's just us right.”“Anyways, where did he head off to. I need to speak with him.”“I don't know. He just stormed off.” Like I wasn't even talking to him about something important. “I need to

KAREN'S POV“What! Kill her? How can you say that?”I looked at my best friend, shocked. Understandable, anyone in my shoes would have hated Jessica, but killing her?“Calm down, calm down. Listen, Karen, I'm not saying you should kill her.”“That is what you just said now.”“Just the foetus. It isn't even a foetus yet. Just the embryo. Don't you want to keep your man?”“I do but…”“If you don't want to, then leave it. I don't want to be the bad misleading one here forcing her friend to get her hands dirty and kill some poppy seed. Well, I will be going back to work now. Just to add something, I have a feeling he isn't even interested in her pregnancy and she is using it to pin him down and get him away from you. Right now Jay needs you. He is feeling helpless but imagine how he'd feel if he learns Jessica isn't pregnant for him anymore. But whatever. You shouldn't soil your hands.”As I watched Tina leave, it made me realise the hidden answer to the question I have been pondering on.

KAREN'S POV “Where are we going?” I asked as I reluctantly put on the seatbelt. “To somewhere quiet.”“Isn't your office quiet?” I was going to ask but stopped. His office might be quiet but Mrs Connie won't be. As he drove off a lot of things occupied my mind. Yet all my head remembered was the time we almost made out in this car. And shamelessly my genitalia aroused.You are so shameless Karen. In one day, in a space of hours, I had agreed to kill a child and now I was getting horny for my ex boyfriend whom I just learnt had gotten another woman pregnant. “It's my secret house. Only my grandfather and Hugo know about it,” Jay's voice brought me back. I leaned up in my seat and saw we were in the compound of a bungalow. Should I be thanking you for bringing me here after getting a woman pregnant? He led me inside and we walked into the room I presumed to be the sitting room but with no fancy cushions. The inside of the house didn't look as uninhabited and dusty as I though

KAREN'S POVTwo queens cannot rule a kingdom ...didn’t mean one queen has to kill the other to rule the kingdom. For reasons I believed was to torture me, these words had refused to leave my head ever since then and as the day grew closer and closer, the more I questioned a lot of things. I questioned what was I becoming. Sleeping hadn't been coming easily for me since I began harboring the idea of getting rid of Jessica's unborn child. Tina had gotten the meds ready and all that was left was for me to fix a meeting. Now I had Jessica across from me and all that was left was watching her gnarl her teeth in pain until her foetus was gone. Now that I was finally going to do it, I was developing good feet. Before I arrived at this restaurant, I had sent a text to Tina to pause until I convinced myself why it was necessary I do it.“Surprised you wanted to have dinner with me,” Jessica remarked, smirking. “You even chose an expensive place, “ she added, glancing around.I could liter

KAREN'S POV I opened my eyes to a white acoustic unfamiliar ceiling tile. Took me seconds to process that I was lying on a hospital bed. For a split moment, I tried to rewind back but only earned myself a numbing pain from the needle stuck in my arm.A drip was connected to my body and seemed to have completely drained but no nurses were around to relieve me of the pin. My mouth parted to call for assistance but croaky sounds came out instead. I tried getting up and I wound up in pain. “ouch!”The seething pain traveled through me as I tried to raise my body. I had to pause for a few seconds before I tried again. Clenching my teeth, I finally managed to get myself to sit up on the bed. Blue curtains surrounded me. The first time Dad was admitted into the hospital, he was admitted into a place like this. Guessing from the curtains demarcation, I expected other patients to be next to me. The sound of what I imagined to be a stainless food flask confirmed my suspicions as it struc

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
Claiming the Billionaires Frosty Heart "I'm sorry"
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
Claiming the Billionaires Frosty Heart UNEXPECTED TURN
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
Claiming the Billionaires Frosty Heart SECRETS REVEALED
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
