Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER NINETEEN (Meet Catherine)
CHAPTER NINETEEN(Meet Catherine)When he noticed that my eyes were barely looking at him, she shook my hand gently twice, and it sent a signal to me that I have traveled too far. I arranged myself instantly and smiled a bit.Mr. Dowell, this is my daughter Catherine, she just came back from Sweden. She’s a model and manages one of my modeling agencies in Sweden.” Mr. Adam said, pointing at the lady. “Nice to meet you Catherine, you have a beautiful smile” i tried to be as polite as possible while reaching out for a handshake.“It’s my pleasure, Mr. Lucas. Your dad has told me a lot about you, and I am looking forward to knowing you more” she took my hand.I sat down and wink at my father, signalling to him that I have little time to spend. Like he knew already, he glanced at his time and nodded in response.“I know you have limited time, Lucas, so do i, but when my friend Adam told me that his festival is here i had to grace it myself at least that how to pay back a good friend lik
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER TWENTY (Fixed date gone wrong)
With the way Catherine was fawning over me, I couldn't help but think she would probably act the same way. I couldn't take any chances. I also had my own share of the problems that came with dating gold diggers. It was while I was in college, that time I was still vibrant and sexually active. Thanks to this tedious job that has made me the oppo Although, I didn't act like I was from a rich home, somehow the news filtered out about who I was and then all the ladies had their attention on me. I tried my best in evading them until I met Keisha. Keisha, who was shy and usually kept to herself. At first, I wanted to introduce myself to her as an average guy, but I decided against it since my family background was well known. I would not want her to feel like I lied to be with her. Since I could afford to, I got her gifts. I mean, real expensive ones. Most times, I would take her to places which she had never dreamed of getting to in her life. We continued dating, with her acting all lov
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER TWENTY ONE (The Agency)
Lucas“Are you leaving so soon, Mr. Dowell?” Mr. Adam was smiling, although his face speaks a lot like someone whose plan has fallen in place.I smiled inwardly to myself as I understood the game he was playing. He had banked on the fact that sure to how urgent I was required to marry a wife, I wouldn't have been able to reject his daughter. He must be nuts for thinking along that line. I liked taking my enemies by surprise, as I don't want people guessing or predicting what my next move would be. “ I’m afraid, yes, I have an urgent issue I need to attend to myself,” I replied care freely as I eyed Adam, whose countenance wasn't looking too good. I didn't want to stay too long here or else, I would have called him out, but I had to leave him for now. “I will have to leave with him too, thanks for your reception Mr. Adams, we will keep in touch.” my dad added, and we walked out of the courtyard.Outside Mr. Adam’s house, I walked my father to his car. I was tired of everything, I nee

I reached the Agency with full spirit, i possessed the spirit of anger which i am yet to unleashed on Bobby and on the same body the spirit of happiness which came from knowing that my mum will have a better health care service in few hours. The agency, to me, was a place of life apart from staring at the mirror, because only there was i able to expressed my God given talent care freely pushing aside my agony and heavy burdens. When i stepped into the agency, i notice the receptionist mumbling some words to one of the models, i paid no attention to them. My happiness was that the incident was just a rumor that can only spread in low tone around the agency, not one that my face and name will appear on social media. I have too much on my mind to think of, a cheep gossip can never get through me, To make them know that i don’t careless about their side talks, i showed then how better model i am by hitting my heels hard against the floor with a finale walking style, causing a noise th
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER TWENTY THREE (Heavy Heart)
LucasThe day was long gone, and my mind was still wandering around yesterday’s events. I sat on my office desk, absent-mindedly taping my fingers on the table. I was lost in thought, it started from the scowling eyes of my dad, to the parrot like mouth of Catherine and the provocative figure of Helen. Everything was annoying today, I have not even had breakfast because my cook was just too scared to asked what i care for seeing my face this morning. What really got me annoyed is the blunt refusal of Helen, she was just too much of herself. She had nothing, absolutely nothing to get herself off that awful situation, but still relent from grabbing a generous offer i gave her. I exhale and rub my hand on my forehead trying to think of something new what will hasten up my plan of getting married in two weeks. If she had gone through the document and decided to accept my offer she would have been here by now, it's 12pm already. To think of, considering my dad’s approach nearly got me si
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR (Signed document)
It won’t be a surprise if she came in and tell me she can’t accept the offer. I have observed her actions all this while and I have seen that she’s not the myopic type of lady that a mare bundle of cash could convince her to do what she doesn’t want. Saying no to my offer is what she could do. “Bring her in, let’s see what she’s up to today.” I was exhaled softly and rubbed my hands on my forehead, hoping that she comes in with good news that will brighten my day. I lift my eyes that I’d dropped on the table and watched Mr. Philip walked out, I tried to think out his reasons for walking like a jerk till he was out of sight.I was still on the same posture when Mr. Philip walked in with Helen on his side. She wore a fitted gown that reveal her firm legs, every move that she made was delicate, I couldn’t stop noticing. She had amazing, glowing skin that made me wonder if she’s really a poor model that can’t afford anything tangible. Her pink gown highlighted her beautiful slim body. I
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE (Move in with me)
Helen Inside the car, I reflected on what had happened earlier. I didn’t know how to react to Lucas's benevolence, although it’s a win-win, Lucas has played the biggest part. I couldn’t stop thanking God that Lucas had kept to his words, but then, my greatest fear is being able to play a perfect wife role without messing it up. I had almost jumped out of my skin when he held my hand, I wonder if that’s how it will always go. He had a soft hand which make me believe he had never done and hard job all his life. Then I started thinking about how lucky I am after seeing the luxury that I have to experience. I never expected to live this kind of life, at least not this soon.Sitting inside a limousine that approximately cost 9 million dollars, a type that isn’t up to 3 in the whole country. I was indeed the luckiest girl in the world. But one thing that kept tugging my heart was what people will say when they see me with Lucas, especially Bobby. He will take it upon himself and escalate n
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX (Black card)
“You don’t have a choice, married couples stayed together. You won’t expect my mum to visit and request to see my wife, and I tell her that she’s in her house somewhere in Barbados. It’s easy to convince the board of directors with the certificate, but not my family. They’ll always want to see you and in my house.” I thought about it for a while. Lucas was right, no sensible man will stop to suspect, it’ll be very odd for a wife to stay separately. But then, the thought of staying with Lucas got me wondering what will happen next. “Alright, you have a point” I replied, pushing myself closer to the door, trying to escape the proximity. “So once we get to the courthouse, grab the certificate, a car will be waiting to pick you up to your apartment to pick up your stuff.” “Why so quick? I don’t stay here alone, my mum stays with me, where will she stay when she’s discharged from the hospital, she needs a place to stay“ Lucas was quiet for some time, and he returned his gaze to the drive

HELEN POV"Why are you crying, Mr. Downell," I said between my breaths, trying to sit up."You are surely stronger than you look. I never expected this from a woman." He stretched out his hand and helped me sit up. I chuckled. "There was a fire outbreak, I saw it spread before my eyes while I was on the phone with you. It was so violent that I thought I would die. But a man came in and saved me. I need to thank him.""The man is right here, I saved you. The little witch wanted to kill you." Perplexed by his words."Did you come with a chopper?" I watch him gently."And who is the little witch that intends to kill me? I believe I was careless with the gas cooker. I must have forgotten to turn it off after heating the water." "After the incident, there was an investigation. Every room was searched and a gallon of fuel was found in Catherine's room. The police even saw your room card in her purse. She set the room ablaze to kill you." My mouth widened, and a rush of chill ran down my s

Helen POV" You should have called before you came," Lucas said as he poured glasses of wine."Can't I surprise my husband again?" He smirked and handed over one of the glasses to me."You keep making me dismiss meetings. The point is I can't focus while you're waiting." A wry smile escaped my mouth. He sounded sweet and sexy. "It's not my fault then, you are probably drunk on love." I teased curling up my legs. He ran his hand over his face before revealing a beautiful smile. Watching him smile like that was rare, but trust me it was remarkable. I don't know Lucas as someone who could indulge in conversations that require teasing. But here he is smiling at it wholeheartedly."Well, I couldn't go home since mum is always busy with cooking. So I decided to stop by and share with you the good news I heard in the office today." Lucas's eyes lit and he rested on his chair."Alright then, I'm all ears." "It's about the Oscars, Catherine told me I should be expecting not less than 8 award

Helen POVI opened my eyes to a familiar sight and a chuckle escaped my mouth. I thought everything and everywhere would all be painted white, my garments white and my shoulders would grow wings. I closed my eyes, sucked in a deep breath as I sprayed my legs over the soft hospital bed. I had longed for heaven but it seems it's way far from me."Good morning." A soothing voice whispered behind me. A rush of adrenaline flushes through my system. I knew the voice. It was also familiar. I didn't know if I was thrilled to hear his voice again but I was certain that something inside me wanted to go back to sleep."Aren't you going to at least answer?" The then whispered voice sounded cold again. "Good morning, Lucas," I answered with my eyes still closed. Then the memories came in like wildfire. I remembered a vague gunshot, the bubbles, and the shortness of breath, all of them filled my head that instant. I sat up and flicked my eyes to clear the thoughts as my heart continued to pound vi

The anger of seeing Helen in pain engulfed me, the wicked adrenaline rushed through my veins and I felt like consuming Buzz whole like a wildfire. But each time Helen cries out my heart aches. I felt weakened and broken. I have just realized yet again how much she's into me. Helen has eaten up the greater part of me and the only thing I found worthy of doing was to make her smile again. Make her free from pain, give her rest, and reunite her with her mother.It wasn't impossible, I had been trained in a paramilitary program, and I graduated from different martial arts schools. The strategy was simple, it was even fun to use it with Buzz. He's nothing but a piece that needs to be shown its place. So fixing him was not a problem.I only needed to exhibit a bit of professionalism to think out the right way to deal with him. If I pay attention to my anger like the first time, I might get shot again. I wasn't surprised when I heard Helen shout. To her, it was a shock so she needed to rea

Helen POVStanding head to head, eyeballs to eyeballs I could feel Lucas's anger. His eyes have narrowed. That wasn't a good sign. If his anger gets over him, we all will be dead. His men were a distance away. There's no way they will reach us before Buzz men who were already on standby with their guns pointed at them pull the trigger.Tears escaped my eyes. Before me, Buzz had vowed to make sure Lucas felt the same pain he felt. With the way he held his eyes, I noticed he was dead serious. Buzz smirked and stepped backward avoiding Lucas's forehead which had almost scratched his face."You are quite brave for a man. I admire that. But your snare can not move me an inch, it can not stop the mission either." Lucas maintained a calm aura, he looked up at me and I begged him immediately to turn back and go."It's better to die alone than to die with you, Lucas. Run, please, save yourself so you can take care of my mother." Lucas's eyes became wet as he fixed his gaze on me, ignoring the

the chain rolled to the waters. "Buzz! Lucas called out with a megaphone. The muscles in his neck stood with his hair. Buzz lifts his hand and the cage stops rolling. He grinds as he realizes that he has finally been able to control and make the mighty Lucas who has never bent a knee to anyone succumb to his voice. " Please, let them go, Buzz. Take me. Is it not me you want?" That was the first time I heard Lucas beg. I watched him break down on the floor of the floating boat. That wasn't the only thing, his voice shook like someone in deep panic. What a rare sight of Lucas. I felt his inner pain and my heart ached for him. I wanted everything to stop, I wish it was just a dream. But sadly, it was a reality that I couldn't escape from, I had to face it till the very end. At this point I was ready, I knew Buzz would not let me go without hurting me because I caused everything that Lucas did to him. But if he must kill me, he must set my mum free. At least I can joyfully die knowing
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER NINETY-SEVEN: THE RESCUE
Helen's POVMy bones ached, Buzz had pounded me, and his beatings were brief because he feared I might die and his mission to make Lucas succumb would be aborted. "You've had enough, for now, but I must apologize for not giving you the same beatings Lucas gave me." He started a cruel laugh. There was a pause when one of his men approached and whispered in his ears."Quick, cover her up and put her in the cell." He ordered before walking out of the room. Just as Buzz had ordered, one of his men immediately grabbed me by my shoulder and dragged me out of the room. It was then I knew that I was on a sailing cruise ship. The cold breeze gave me goosebumps. When I saw the water, my stomach rumbled, and I threw out chunks of what I didn't remember eating. "Filthy slut, come over here" I felt a heavy blow on my neck and I lost balance and fell to the ground. He wrapped my hair around his palm and pulled me to himself. I howled in pain but he ignored my voice. He signals another guard."Y
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER NINETY-SIX: Hospital Bed
The smell of antiseptic filled my nose and I opened my eyes to the sight of strange but familiar surroundings."Damn, I'm in the hospital again." I breathed out. I hated this place called the hospital. But there I was, in an automated bed, amid big machines and equipment without a clue about how I ended up there. I tried to lift my hand but I was too tired to lift it. A beeping sound kept resounding in my ears from the direction of my left hand and I looked down only to find a female hand wrapped around my chest. I gathered all the strength left in me and managed to adjust. "You're awake, you scare me. Please don't do that again." She said sobbing. I widened my eyes as I stared at my mum's pale skin. "What are you doing here?" I managed to speak and I felt a sharp crack on my neck. I groan in pain and bend my neck to one side. She raised her hand frantically. I saw the panic in her eyes and it hurt my heart."Stay still please, don't talk. I'll go get the doctor." She got up immedi
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE: Help my husband
A flash of panic hints on my face as the TV goes blind before me. I needed to do something, I can't just stand here and wait for a miracle. First, it was my mother, now it's my husband. What will happen to me If anything bad happens to them? I would have not just stayed back, had faith that Lucas could handle the deadly gang stars all by himself. Where will I start from? How will I be of help? I slide my hand into my hair as I think of what to do. I was uneasy, walking around the sitting room like a mad woman. No one would see me and not think of me that way. "What would I do if they were captured? I would find the secret place where they hid them and rescue them." I thought to myself. Now, if my thoughts are correct, how will I find the hidden place? My brain was not helping at all, the thoughts that came were negative all through."But the broadcaster said there was a shooting in Enfield, what would happen next if Lucas was shot?" I started analyzing again. "Certainly, Lucas would
