Her lousy phone smashed her from her thinking. She stared at her cell phone blankly at the Caller ID and a frown settled on her pretty face. Why was she calling? that was the first question that came to her mind. After hesitating for a while she answered the phone without saying a word."What happened to her? and why are you just telling me now? which hospital? send me the location and I will be there " she said in a concerned tone." okay I will send the money right now" she assured the person on the other side of the line. She sighed a relief after hugging up the call"mm, please drop me hear," she said politely to the driver. she stepped into the commercial bank and did the transfer. She thought deeply about it after all that was her first payment in King's group and now she was spending it on something out of her budget.She boarded a taxi and rushed to her old residence where she used to reside with her mom before life turned black for her. That same mansion was acc
Suspension? Does this kind of punishment still exist in office work? He said coldly as if it was no big deal. Emma didn't dare to stare at his face. She didn't know whether to feel at ease or feel bothered but in the end, it still hurts.She had no idea whether it's as because of her feelings for him or because she love her job.One thing is for sure, this so-called suspension can take forever. And now she had no money to spend, fishing for a new job was another huge problem."get out" his voice startled her. He watched her attractive back coldly as she closed the door.Just after that, he picked up his cell for a phone call" I want to know everything about my Secretary. Do a good job of delivering it by the end of today and I don't want her work for anyone" he ordered with his usual cold expression."yes, boss. Consider it done" a deep submissive voice replied from the other end. Maxwell gazes blankly at the wall as he placed a cigar in-between his cute lips. At
"Why the sudden question? are you planning on courting me? ahh!" she moan at the end of her statement as Alex keeps pounding her.These two people are shameless. How can they be doing such in the men's washroom? when an eye has seen them. Maxwell saw them but he was not the kind to interfere. he doesn't give a fuck about anyone, of course, except one person that he can not bring himself to ignore ." I don't care even if you like my brother" he said in a hoarse voice" really?"Lily's voice came as a whispered.***"son came here" grandma King gestured a hand towards Maxwell with a smile"son, meet Nash. Daughter of the state" she introduced them and left them to other guests.Grandma Kings was happy to see both his grandsons present at her party. She had initially thought Maxwell wouldn't attend because he was the difficult one who never shows up in public.Nash smiled brightly, she was heavily dressed in a light green gown with her long brown hair moving freely behi
Sampson was stunned, he knew Max as a heartless man but he never acts on impose. His gun was only reachable to people who overstep their margin. Such people receive no mercy as far as his principles are concerned.But why is he treating the girl as if she was his property? Per what he found out about her, she was a kind-hearted person with a little difficult character.Sampson wanted to say something but Max hate contribution. He wants everything to be done his way. working for him does not make you a part taker in his decisions unless he want you to."say whatever you want to say Sampson" he heard his indifferent voice and sat opposite him in his study. He was going to talk to him as a friend, not a guard or employer.Sampson was a military personnel some years ago until he was given a death sentence because he killed his stepfather who was making life smell like shit for his mother.He returned home on one of his holidays to spend time with his mother but he, un
He gritted his teeth firmly his hands dipped in his pocket like the gentleman he was. His anger was only visible in his stilled ocean green eyes. The eyes can swallow anything at any moment with its stillness."boss should I stop them" a guard dressed in all black just like himself spoke calmly. Maxwell said nothing, his gaze directly on Emma as if she was the only person present in the bar.Just then a beautiful woman walked in his direction "please came in" she smiled politely, that was when he realized he was still at the door.Immediately his feet stepped into the bar, eyes turned in his direction but the men were busy catching every movement of the two dancers on the stage. He frowns and flared his gaze back to his favorite person after he sat comfortably in the middle of the bar, where he would be able to have a clear view of his chosen character.The young women were staring and whispering to each other. They lick their lips whenever they gaze in his dire

He wondered what she did to earn such a comment from Alex.The guard behind him was a little shocked when he saw the smile on Maxwell's lips. Maxwell was known to be a heartless killer so he had lived to that for the past decays.He had never shown a soft side nor smile to anyone, not even his grandparents but now he was smiling because of his ex-Secretary."you are required to report to work tomorrow" he authorized."what!" Emma turned to face him. But she stepped back to create some appropriate space between them.Maxwell's hands were in his pocket as he always does. He turned to walk away when he heard her speak." I can't." she screamed so he could hear her.After she was suspended, she thought it was a result of the chat. She had searched everywhere and found it in the trash bin. She returned to apologize but he refused to see her, She was even thrown out by security.Who the hell does he think he is? "quit your job" there comes his cold authoritative vo
She stared back at her cell phone and there was a text message written boldly in block letters on the screen. She hesitated for a while before parting her lips."I guess I will have to go out now," She said but Ashe couldn't catch the expression on her face.She just came and she is leaving? what in the world is going on with her? Ashe made a confused face glaring at the door.Emma just arrived in their two-bedroom apartment, In less than thirty minutes a text showed up on her phone and she had to run like an errand girl. Ashe felt something was wrong If not why isn't she talking?Emma strode into a fancy restaurant. She was not sure who the sender of the message was but she had to obey because the text was not a request and that only mean Maxwell was the sender if her thoughts were to be right."miss you can't go in" an attendant stopped her at the entrance. She looked questionable at the man. He was dressed in a white suit and black long pants with a shiny
Maxwell was holding her close to himself, his eyes bored into hers "are you okay?" there was fear in her voice. She feared he had been shot again. He smiled at her as if everything was okay.Another gunshot broke the silence, he shot a pin at the shooter. The same man who released the first bullet.He held his side stomach covering the bullet wound.Alex threw him a punch which landed him on the floor. He stood and blocked his next punch throwing him on the bed.Alex threw his leg which ended on his stomach, he quickly bounced In him hitting him like a punching bag. Maxwell was weak because Of the two bullets in his body. He was losing blood"please stop!!"Emma screamed at the top of her voice crying like a little girl.She continued pleading for Alex to stop, Maxwell was bleeding, and he is losing consciousness.I have to do something, I need to save him.No I can't let him kill him.Her sight fell on the gun beside the jerk that Maxwell killed with a pin. Without hesitation, she relea
"Did you find anything?" he asked Sampson who was behind the typing guy in a cold tone" we will find her" he assured him"boss, it seems they used multiple means of transport"the guy sitting behind the laptop said."so are you suggesting they took her out of the country?" the guy nodded.Yes, that is what he needed to know" where are you off to?"Sampson asked the angry Maxwell. He was sure if he doesn't do something this guy would not hesitate to burn the whole city" she needs me"there comes his cold voice.Sampson sighed, thanks to Emma he is now used to his other self and tired of his cold personality." where are you starting from?" he ask but he strode out of his sight not even bothering to look back.He knew Alex was playing games with him. He wants him to think he migrated with her but he already knows what he is trying to prove.He rode in his car heading to the southern side of the city. This is his first time driving without his men behind him.He knew where to find Alex after d
Mrs. King? where is that Mrs. King? She stared around to confirm what the lady said. But there was no one in the room except for herself and Maxwell and of course, the service lady who is now at the door. She was confused about what she meant by that. Did she refer to her?" I think there is a mistake here" she said but before anything else, Maxwell took the bag from the lady"thank you sir" she said with a dry smile before moving her heels. Emma raised her chin only to his heating gaze. He was standing spaceless behind her looking down at her"don't you like your new name"?" he asked calmly as if it was normal. Emma was still not getting what was going on "dress up" he gave her the bag and headed to his seat with a smile without any explanation.He instructed his men to take her home because he had meetings to attend. Emma stared at him as if she didn't want to leave his side" I will see you again" he said lovely and held her head against his chest. Did she want to ask him when? where?
He kicked the bathroom door open, Emma's hands were around his neck with her left breast pressed to his naked hard muscle chest. His face was all that she kept staring at until she heard the door unlocked.Her mouth was left open for flies to enter if there were any.Really!!!!She blinked like seriously!!oh God, the bathroom is times two of the bedroom!! the white walls seem clean and untouched as if nobody had settled there before. The bathtub was as big as a double bed, it can even contain three people who are as tall and broad as him.She swallowed hard to dry her mouth when she thought about how close their body is to each other.He walked her to the already filled tub and placed her gently in it as if she was a softshell or something. Her attention falls on the different types of gel and shampoo at the far edge of the tub. She wondered if her brand was in, she gazed at them searching for the right one to use. She suddenly covered her chest wi
She rolled on the huge bed with a wide gray blanket spread over her body. The light in the room rained on her beautiful face though it was not morning the brightness of the room said otherwise. She rolled her fragile body to the end of the bed with her eyes still closed. Her black long hair covered her face.She struggled for a while before she was able to open that eyes of hers and clear the sleep off her sight.She scanned the room, the white curtains, the white sofa, and the full-length glass window that displays a very beautiful view of the city were not in line with the familiar things in her mind records.She wondered what happened and how she ended up in such a place, just then last night images started loading up.She recalled drinking two glasses of wine which flamed a certain desire in her. She felt hot and her core started aching all of the sudden breaking cold sweat on her body. Joanna left her in a room after the party saying someone would attend to
" Why don't you ask me anything you want ?" he gave her ' the go-ahead look but Emma was hesitating as if afraid to say something.He wanted to disclose the secret before her but didn't want to be the one to provoke it. At least she should ask and he would answer with honor. Now his lips are on hers, she couldn't even resist him.The kiss began from passionate to deep kiss. He bit her lip which was undoubtful bleeding, she tried pulling away but he held her tightly by the waist "are you still running from me?" he asked in between kisses. His voice was hoarse, he is already turned on.She had done the magic. He pulled away and gazed at her wounded lips "that is your punishment for avoiding me" he said licking her bottom lips which had his biting on.His ringing phone distracted him. He pulled it from his pocket and held it against his ear, his left hand on her waist and his gaze on her, watching her every move.Emma was melting in his arms, her legs felt
She stared at his expressionless face. He gazed at her softly extending a hand for her to take it.She stepped out of the car ignoring his attention.That is the last thing she needed. She was doing everything to keep a space between them, after finding out he was married.She never bothered to ask or inquire about whoever she is since she could easily guess and get the answers.He stared at Sampson and lead the way to the Kings Mansion.His grandparent seeks his present to clarify something.Emma stared at Sampson with a beautiful smile and followed Maxwell.Great! it's dinner time and she has to join in. Her discomfort surfaced" no one is going to eat you alive"Maxwell's cold voice sounded in her ears."Welcome son" the old man tapped his shoulder and led them to the dinner where the family had gathered.He pulled a chair for Emma, she glared at him for a while before occupying it. All eyes were on them as if they were newlywed couples.She lowere
She uncomfortably tosses In the bed as if having a nightmare with a little sweat on her forehead as sharp breath escapes her lips constantly with her eyes close.She flipped her eyes open in horror. She sat on the bed with her eyes roaming the room, she placed her left hand on her chest and sighed a relief when she realized it is just a bad dream.But her heart was not settled. She started wondering if. Maxwell is alright. She laid back on the bed staring at the ceiling as if in deep thought, she blinked a few times. Sleep Is out of her reach.Who would sleep after a horrible nightmare? considering her nightmare she was not comfortable.She sit back on the bed and left to the washroom after a while.She was unsettled, remembering the pain she saw in his eyes when they were heading back to the private island, something was not going on well with him, and her heart was feeling his pain.He decided to take her with him since trouble seems to follow her all
The door was batched opened violently the moment he laid his filthy eyes on her breast with three men standing on guard with their heads held low.Jonas was caught off guard and attempted to use Emma as a hostage as he recognized those men but Maxwell walked in elegantly with an expressionless face in his all-black style as usual.He pointed his gun at him"boom" the bullet pierce through his arm, the hand that he was going to use to hold her. He winked in pain and moved back from her as blood oozed out.He strode toward her and covered her with the blanket and carried her out of the hotel room to his car. She stared at him feeling happy, her heart was beating very fast and she got afraid thinking he might hear. It has been a while since she saw this handsome face. She wanted to hug him tight but he is her boss.She couldn't stop staring at him for only god knows how much she has missed those lips, the way he force his lips on hers and how possessive he was with
