Wayne's POV
Questions were popping in by the beautiful journalist, she is beautiful with long brown hair that cascades beneath her back, she has pink lips that give a perfect description of her beauty. She is light-skinned as she possesses a captivating brown-muddy eye.
With her innocent smile exposing she asked me a question, I tried restraining my anger “of course a secret is a secret” I replied, I knew this show was a set up to disrupt the plan between I and the Manson oil company.
“And, that will be the end of the show. My name is Arianna Fletcher, good bye and have a nice day” the lights went off and the recording also.
I stood up immediately anger boiling inside of me and veins already visible, I really needed to see the host in charge of this show, how did my company plans leak out.
“”’’
*””””””’”””’’””””””””*
“Lead me to your boss'' I yelled at the camera man, with all my veins protruding even more.
“Ohh, ok..kay you m..mean Mr Kim” I cut in, “take me to him now!!, I yelled yet again.
“Alright” he nodded, fear visibly showing on his face.
He led me to the front of his office. Just when I was about to give a to the door, the anchor Arianna came out.
Many thoughts ran through my mind, “should I ask her who sent her” I whispered to myself, all of a sudden.
“Come back here” I ordered, at first she stood still before turning towards me, my face looking stern as always..
“Who sent you? I asked her immediately.
“Huh?” she asked, visibly confused.
“Don't act as if you don't know what I am talking about” I replied tickling my hands into my pocket while she scoffed.
“Who do you think you are? To approach me in that manner” she replied.
“Don't you know who I am?”
“I know you are the richest” with two hands mocking the word “billionaire” she replied unhinged.
“,shit, I hate when people get on my nerves” I pointed my hand to her “if you are not careful I'm getting you and your boss sued” I directly barged into his office, he was on a phone call with someone, upon seeing me he triggered in shock.
“I …..w..ill..call you back” he stammered and hung up the call.
Looking at my face in fear, “now tell me what the hell is going on, where did that question come from? I asked him.
Almost immediately my phone rang, it was Marc, my lawyer, I picked up the call “don't do anything Mr Knight, I know you are angry now, but you need to come and let's discuss” I hung up not moved by what he said.
“Shit” I whispered, how did he know what I was about doing.
“Hello Mr Knight” Mr Kim said with a clown smile.
“I need every detail of the anchor who questioned me, with immediate effect” I asked him
“Is that all you need”
“Don't you dare ask me one more time again” I replied flaring my eyebrows, he grabbed his keyboard in front of him typing something on his computer.
“Sent” he said with a broad smile, my phone notification popped in, I opened it to confirm.
“Bitch” I walked away, going towards my car
I entered into my convoy, I dialed Marc's number..
“Where do we meet” I questioned him
“I'm at the bar..” before he could finish his sentence I cut the call, I was expecting that from him always in the bar as usual.
“Drive me to the red bar” I told my driver..
“Okay sir”
I brought out my phone and looked at the information sent to me by Kim, “she is damn pretty” I whispered to myself, I didn't know when that escaped from my mouth, I cleared my throat, a sense of familiarity showed.
I was trying to recollect where I had seen her before, I got pissed and threw the phone to the other seat of the car.
******************”***********.
We drove into the red bar, music was sounding from the entrance.
I entered the bar, my presence drawing as much attention as I walked to Marc's favorite seat spot.
“Hello” he waved at me, I walked up to him and sat down.
“Tell me, what are we going to do” I asked him
“It seems the media are working for my enemies” I added curiously.
“Of course, your enemies won't want you to succeed” he put the cigar into his mouth while smoking it…
“So what do you think I should do” I asked him
“To can a monkey you behave like a monkey” he sparked in parables, I scoffed
“How can I do that”
“Marry your enemy” those words sounded like a triggering bullet to me.
“Marry my enemy” I repeated the word
“That is how you can get your enemy otherwise they will get you”
“You see that girl who anchored you today?, I smell innocence in her,I checked all of the workers there, I found out she was the new girl and they took advantage of her ignorance” he said
“Hmm, I see”, most times Marc might be after business but apart from that, his brilliancy is top notch.
“So should we make the girl our target” I asked
“A win win for you, marry her present her to Manson oil as your fiance, she will protect you in the media, having someone like her is better, than putting a spy there, they can change anytime, but once love is involve a woman would do anything to protect her lover”
“How do I do it, I can't just go to BBC and ask for her hand in marriage”
“Figure out a way, Mr Knight, and let's get this damn contract, so I can make some money,” he said, smoking the cigar in his hand and puffing out smokes.
“I know your own interest is about the profit you get” I chuckled as he laughed out loud.
“Thank you for knowing” he grabbed the glass of alcohol and gulp it down.
“A big party is going on in new York, I think you should have received your invitation by now”
“What invitation” I asked, I opened my phone and checked.
I smacked my lips, I had no idea a billionaire party was going on in New York where business companies come together to pull off.
“I think I need to get a new Valentino suit”
“But you have numerous suit why did you want to get another one” Marc asked
“Because I'm rich and I can afford that” I smirked.
Arianna's POV“I guess there is some politics going on at the BBC. I don't understand my encounter today,” I said as I entered the car.“Mommy!” Liam hugged me from the back seat, cuddling me with his hands.“How are you, my sweet charming prince?” I asked him.“I'm fine, mommy,” he replied.“Aunty Brenda took me to the park,” we all laughed.“I hope you had fun,” he nodded. “Good, now sit down, we are about to drive.”“Okay, mommy.” I looked at him through the front mirror, and he immediately sat down, playing with his tablet.“You were muttering some words earlier,” Brianna asked me.“I really don't understand what happened at BBC News at all,” I told her, folding my hands.“Firstly, why would you ask such a question to a Knight?” Brenda asked, her eyes focused on the road, gripping the steering wheel with caution.“Shit, did I do something wrong, huh?” I asked her.“You really did something wrong. Asking him the secret he kept from the other company on the air is despicable.”“Oh,
Arianna Fletcher's POV"Welcome to the billionaire's party. May I have your invitation?" the usher asked."Sure," Brenda winked at me. I took out my invitation from my purse and showed it to the usher."You can go in. Have fun," she said as she unlocked the door. We walked into the mansion, which was well-decorated with balloons, flowers, and glittering lights. There were golden tables and chairs around, men dressed in suits, and ladies in luxurious gowns. The air smelled of wealth, and there were different types of dishes and wines placed on tables.As we walked further, I saw the media around, including the BBC. I was shocked and checked my phone."Oh my god, shoot," I said out loud."What's going on?" Brenda asked."Guess what, I'm supposed to be interviewing the Knight family tonight.""Are they here?" Brenda asked, looking confused."Of course they are."“All right, bae, you can still go ahead and join them," she said with a broad smile. I nodded and walked towards Mr. Kim, wh
"Please, don't do this!" I screamed, my voice cracking with fear as I struggled against the man attempting to restrain me with handcuffs."You'll pay for your father's betrayal," he sneered, his grip tightening around my wrists as he secured them to the bed."Let me go!" I pleaded, desperation creeping into my voice as I thrashed against the restraints, but his hold remained unyielding."Everyone, leave," he commanded with a snap of his fingers, and the room emptied, leaving me alone with my captor. I strained to catch a glimpse of the person approaching me, my heart pounding with dread at what was to come.(Before the Incident)My evening had started innocently enough, just hanging out with my best friend Brenda as we often did. We ended up at a club, where I indulged in one too many drinks, losing myself in the music and the buzz of alcohol.Brenda cheered me on as I danced, her encouragement fueling my uninhibited movements. But as the night wore on, the effects of the alcohol bega
"May his soul rest in perfect peace," the Reverend father said, his solemn words echoing through the cemetery. Tears welled up in my eyes as I slowly poured the sand over my father's casket."Take it easy, don't cry, okay?" Brenda's voice broke through my sorrow as she gently patted my shoulder. Despite her efforts to console me, the tears flowed freely, unstoppable in their descent."The only man left for me was strangled to death. I was in so much pain. After the incident, they still went ahead and killed him," I confided, my voice heavy with grief and anger.*****Seated in the somber silence of the sitting room, I gazed at the framed photograph of my father, wiping away the tears that continuously streamed down my cheeks."Sorry, Ariana, it's over. We just need you to get to safety first," Brenda offered, extending a cold glass of water to me."You don't get it. That man is everything to me. I don't understand why the man that assaulted me kept talking about my father in that mann
As the plane touched down, the familiar sights of home brought a smile to my face. Five years away had been too long, but now I was back where I belonged."Ahh, it's good to be home," I remarked to myself, peering out the window at the bustling airport.A sleek Lamborghini awaited me on the tarmac, and without a word, my personal assistant sprang into action, greeting the driver and overseeing the loading of my bags."Welcome back, boss," the driver greeted me with a nod as he collected my luggage."Thank you," I replied, acknowledging his gesture with a nod of my own.As I settled into the plush interior of the car, the cool air and soft music provided a moment of respite from the whirlwind of my return."Hello, boss," Sophia's voice crackled over the line, but I swiftly ended the call, my mind already racing with the weight of responsibilities."Sophia, please arrange a meeting with Marc as soon as possible," I instructed, tapping my fingers on the armrest."Right away, sir," she re
As the tension rose in the room, I couldn't help but feel a surge of adrenaline coursing through my veins. My palms were sweaty, and my heart pounded in my chest as I prepared to confront Knight Wayne, the enigmatic CEO of the Forte company."What!! How can the case be closed?" I exclaimed, my frustration boiling over as I slammed my hand on the table in front of the officer."I'm sorry, but some people came over telling us to close down the case," he replied, his tone apologetic but his words doing little to quell my anger. With a swift grab of my bag, I stormed away from him, my mind racing with thoughts of retribution."I will be back, and you will provide me with those who came behind my back to close down the case," I declared as I stormed out of the room, my determination palpable in every step I took.As I entered Brenda's car, her words of caution grated on my nerves. "Come on, girl, I told you to forget about this case," she chided, her tone infuriatingly dismissive."Forget
CHAPTER FIVEArianna's POV“All right, here are some questions from your fans. Can you tell us about the secret you are trying to hide from Mason Company, that your fiancée is dead, and you won't be able to get the contract?” I said to him, making sure I didn't miss a line in the question I studied.I waited for about five minutes for his response. I cleared my throat.“Should I repeat the question?” I asked. He nodded.“Can you tell us about the secret you are trying to hide from Mason Company, that your fiancée is dead, and you won't be able to get the contract?” I ignorantly read it out loud, smacking my lips together.He suddenly smiled, “You are my fiancée, don't you know?” He questioned me back. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.“Oh, yes, I would gladly love to be one of the billionaire's fiancées,” I scoffed. Of course, who doesn't like better things? If he would marry me, I would agree, but it's just awkward when he said that.“Well, my fiancée is not dead and is very much
