Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE (The Search)
The house didn’t change a lot, except that it was missing a few loads. Mum had changed the drabs, painted the ceiling, and got a new cooking gas. I met her making dinner, and although the doctor had said she was fine, I was still seeing some traces of pain in her face. Perhaps because the wound had not fully healed. I dropped my bag on the table and went inside the kitchen to help her. It was a moment I have missed, during those times, laughter always filled the house. Even old granny will come out to check if it is just laughter or that someone has been hurt. She will as ways complain to her sons whenever they visited that her tenants want to bring down her house with laughter. “Mum!” I called out as I stepped forward, although there was a glint of happiness in her eyes, she still looked surprised. Perhaps because I did not inform her that I’ll be coming. “How are you, Helen.” I hugged her from behind and started crying, she turned towards me at once and gave me a tight hug. “What’
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX (Lucas Search)
Lucas I was behind the door all this while listening, the words of advice that came out from her mum were pleasing to my ears. I was extremely busy today, attending meetings, supervising work, replying to important emails, etc. I was restless until when the thing was done and the office calm a bit. Mr. Philip and I were working on a project that will be sent to one of our companies in France the following morning when I remember that I haven’t called her since morning. I picked up my phone and dialed her number, but she was not taking calls. I dialed the number twice, yet she didn’t take her calls. I ordered Mr. Philip to track her and from the tracker she was still in the agency. I wondered what have kept away from her phone for that long. To be sure she was safe, I had to push aside all I was doing at that time and head to the agency. It was almost dark and people were going in and out of the agency. After waiting for some time, I asked Mr. Philip to check the tracker to see if sh

Helen I wasn’t sure that my mum’s suggestion was a good one. I know Lucas, he will not allow me to say a word before questioning me. But whatever the case may be, I trust her. She might be right about Lucas. I still fixed my gaze on her, making sure she knew from my face that I was just doing what she said because I didn’t want to disobey him. And I didn’t want her to think of me as a head-hardened person. Just when I wanted to dial his number, a knock landed on the door. “Are you expecting someone?” I asked with my eyes wide open. She shook her head and at once I knew that it was him. The sound repeated and my mum stood up and headed for the door before I could say a word, she was already halfway. “Hey, you guys decided to come unexpectedly, why so.” I closed my eyes as those words ascertain that he was at the door. I listened to hear him reply. “Hello, how are you doing today” his voice was always calm and soothing, it sent a chill to my veins. “I have been trying to reach my
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT (Assurance)
Lucas When she mentioned Catherine, though I was shocked she called her my fiancée, I knew that she must have said that to still place herself in a higher position. The dots started to connect, I understood everything now. I understood why she had refused to pick up my calls, nor reply to my message, why she sneaked out from the agency, avoiding me. She must have spoken to Catherine today. A strong anger rushed through my system. I imagine what she had told her, with the number of words she said in a minute I bet she doesn’t even remember she had told Helen such a thing. I decided to remain quiet, but it hurts me more when she cried. I must do something to make her feel better, to make sure that she has the same happiness she had in the morning. She didn’t stop asking questions at a point I couldn’t handle it any longer. I clarified to her. “I am not Catherine's fiancée and I will never be, I don’t have any intention of dismissing you before the contract expires. That’s why I mad
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE (Where is he)
Helen Throughout that week, I didn’t go to the agency. There were no phone calls from them except on Saturday when the photographer called to inform me of the week shooting on Monday. The day was already bright, fair, and happy. I had no reason not to join the chorus. I looked at the time, and it was much earlier than when I do wake. I thought it was because I slept early the previous night. I stay in bed for an extra hour with the mindset that I will stand up from bed when Lucas was ready to go to work. I noticed that I have not seen him for 4 days now. He doesn’t throw his suit on his shoulder when I wake again. Before I could freshen up and join him downstairs, he has already left. “The job has really gone a better part of him,” I thought to myself. But today was a new week and I have woken up much earlier than usual I waited on the bed, and yet he never showed up. I stood up from the bed and started a walk towards his sturdy. I tried to open the door, but it was locked, I sigh
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER SIXTY
“Is that how to treat a client? Why are you laughing in front of a client? Is that what you came here to do? What does she want” “I’m sorry ma’am, the lady came and requested to see Mr. Lucas, she claims to be his wife” I turned to see who she was talking to, she jerked at once and her eyes wide open. “Good afternoon, Mrs. Dowell, I am sorry to keep you waiting, Ma’am. Please come this way” I turned to the receptionist, and she was already crying and packing her stuff. “I’m sorry about her attitude ma’am, I will handle her ma’am with your permission” I didn’t know what to say to her. I kept mute, the anger and embarrassment the receptionist gave me had slowly been replaced by shyness. Everyone was still in awe at the reception hall. Some started to murmur and pointed at me. I overheard one of the staff say. “I remember her now, I saw her picture on the day of their marriage.” I didn't say a word again, I turned and followed the lady. On our way, she introduced herself as Diana
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER SIXTY ONE (Never Leave Me Again)
Three days have passed since Mr. Philip said Lucas will come back, and he hasn’t he has not for once answered his calls. Since school has not yet resumed, and I only go to the agency twice a week, I mostly spend my day in the house. Today was the dinner party I was invited to by Catherine. I didn’t want to appear dull, like someone who has been mourning the death of a loved one. I decided to hang out with Sandra. I have not seen her since she was discharged from the hospital. It was already 11 am, and I was still in bed. That’s how it happens when I sleep late. I stayed up till 3 pm again trying to reach Lucas. I was surfing the internet when I saw a message popped up on my phone, it was from a strange number. Recently, I have been waking up to see messages from people I don’t know. Most of them are upcoming models that want to know the secret of modeling. I always laugh when I see such a massage, modeling has no secret, if it will even have a secret it’s hard work and practice. Som

“I won’t, I promised” he replied. I canceled everything, and everywhere I wanted to go that day except for the dinner party. It was another blissful day. How funny that I have forgotten about Catherine and believe Lucas's words instead. He didn’t go to work that day, so we stayed together all through, except for the fact that he sometimes had a long call and go to his sturdy at intervals. We were mostly on her phones and I keep showing him my pictures from the internet. He will only smile and say you’re gorgeous. I told him about the dinner party, and he lit up his eyes and asked. “You were also invited?” he told me he had a role to play in the party. I knew it was about Catherine, I didn’t want anything to spoil my mood and most importantly or moment, so I keep mute. He knew what I was thinking, I saw it when he looked at me after he sprang. “Can we go there together?” he asked me with his eyes still on his phone. I curled up my legs on the sofa and smile a bit before I frowned. I

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
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED
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
