Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX (Catherine trait)
LucasI have known so many negative sides of Catherine. She kept showcasing new ones every time she spoke with me. I would have not known this particular one if she didn't call me the following morning. I was in the office when my phone rang. I looked at the screen and saw her name. I felt reluctant to answer the call, but to clear her once and for all that I wasn't interested in any game she wanted to play, I touched the answer button. "Hello, handsome." She sounded strange as always. Fast and weird. I held the phone up to my head."What do you want?" I sounded as harsh as I could be. But Catherine has grown a thick skin. She chuckles like she had been expecting my outburst."Calm, Lucas. I want to see you in your office. I will be there in 20 minutes." Before I could say a word, she had already dropped the call. I slowly dropped the phone on the table. I rob my forehead, as I think of how to get rid of her in my life. Just as she said, she was in my office shortly. Her smile did i

I couldn't lift a finger after Catherine left, she struck my heart with words that stick. Like an unfortunate deer, struck by a steel spear, I crumbled on my table. Her words keep resounding in my head and for a second, I doubted my love for Helen.I managed to get up from my seat after a while, pick up my phone, and headed sluggishly like a drunk giant supported by a mosquito limp outside. When I reached the reception, the looks on my worker's faces made me realize that I was truly out of place. I saw Mr. Philip's chaotic face too as he rushed toward me. He must have sensed my dilemma and offered to help.Seems untrue and hard to believe that a giant man, like me, would be so frustrated by a woman's words. “Are you alright, sir?” He asked after he had taken his place beside me. I tried to get a grip on myself and acted normal. I ignored his question and continued my journey. He twitched and hurriedly joined me.“Cancel every appointment and meeting, till tomorrow. I need a quiet mo
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT (A Trip to Dallas)
Like every other person, the first day flying on a plane would have been momentous. A day to lean back on the soft sofa, call the plane attendance and order everything nice while enjoying the beautiful sight from the clear blue sky. Those were what I would have done if my mind wasn’t spoiled before leaving. The fear of death couldn’t allow me to lift my head. Thank God for the headrest. I was moody throughout, even two days before departure. Lucas’ has tried every possible way to make me happy, but I still couldn’t find a single reason to be happy. The fact that he had discussed it with Catherine behind my back added to the feelings of betrayal I have. I expected him to talk to me about Catherine after the day she said she will meet him in the office. Not saying anything about her means a lot. He could be secretly seeing her. During breakfast, he didn’t offer to take me to the airport, he only nodded when I told him I will be leaving for two weeks. This single act concretes my suspi

I turned to Jane, and carefully watch her expression. I smiled and leaned towards her and whispered. “Is this how it’s done?” on hearing that, she farrowed her eyebrow and rolled her eyes left and right. She had a perplexed face, I could tell from her face that she had no involvement. But who can tell? Her master would have already met up with the plane attendance and instructed them to poison the drink. “You mean inside a plane, ma’am?” she finally spoke out after a few minutes of thinking. I nodded, trying to not what comes next from her. “This is my first time, ma’am.” I acknowledge with a nod and returned my gaze to the fine lady beside me. “I think I am fine,” I said to her with a broad smile, as I pushed forward my long coat to cover my chill feet. It was obvious that I felt cold. I could tell by the way she looked at me when I declined. She returned the smile after a brief examination and then, pushed the tea to Jane. “Do you mind, ma’am?” that was when I knew I have acted d
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER EIGHTY (The Poison)
HelenIt was a good thing to be a celebrity, I knew that my fame had escalated, but not outside of Austin. When I set foot there, everyone stood and started clapping, I widened my eyes in confusion. What the hell are these people doing? I hope they know it's the wrong person. I duck my head and imagine how embarrassing it will be when they figure out that I am not the person. I waited for them to stop before I brightened my face to light again, instead, they continued clapping and mumbling in between.“Make some noise for our latest model.” It came from Sir Mark, I turned in his direction as soon as I heard the voice, and in no time I looked behind him, around the door, but no one else was there other than us. He winks at me before giving the loudest clap.At that point, I knew it was me, everything was now falling into place. Well, certainly I didn't know how to react to that, but something in me pushed me to wave, and I did. Surprisingly, it works. After a few more rounds of applau
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE (The Poison)
The first thought that I picked was forcing the drink down her throat."You want to give me that, Jane?" I noticed her stillness when I asked and I smirked"Huh?"She readjusted in the bed, covering herself with the duvet before nodding with a smile."huh hmm, sure it's for you, have it." She extended farther to my face. I shook my head and shifted to the edge of the bed."I am fine, thank you. " I tried to smile while watching her reaction. Her forehead tied up instantly, and her brow folded. Just as I suspected, she was disappointed. She must have thought I would give in to her weak praise and drink from her cup.I know she would probably not poison this particular drink, because of the insecure environment. Still, I didn't want to give her a chance or should I say, any reason to think I will eat with her. She knew if I got hurt that night, if no one else should know, the bodyguard behind the door would certainly know she had a hand. I think she wants to gain my trust first. To m

I got off the bed immediately, with all the speed I could generate at that moment. With the way I jump from it, one could suspect that the bed was burning my butt. It was like a natural reflex that I couldn’t help The mention of Jane in the kitchen brought terror and despair, even confusion instantly. Her presence in that kitchen could only bring death. I may not be the victim, because I know of her motives, but another person may be, so I have to stop her immediately. Helen, think of something, I muttered to myself as I rolled my eyes up and down. “Excuse me ma’am” The voice on the other end sounded again, and I realized that she had held her breath, and waited for me to say something. “Oh, that’s nice. I have to wait then. Thank you.” I dropped the phone and rubbed my forehead. I smiled when I realized that I was sitting and rubbing my forehead like Lucas. I guess he has transferred some of this threat to me. This isn’t a time to think about Lucas. For God's sake, it’s a human lif
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE (Poison Truth)
She stepped out of the elevator which looked like a house, her face was all bright up with a smile. I tried to maintain a calm face too while accessing every detail of her expressions. "I brought your food, ma'am Helen," she said after stepping closer to where I was standing. "My food? You didn't tell me you were a chef Jane" I said to her still smiling. I stepped forward and peeped inside the cart. "What's in there?" I pointed at one of the covered foods. "It's a special egg benedict, I know you'll like it, I made it with hollandaise sauce and a bit of beacon." She said smiling. The name of the food was enough to reject it. I was never a fan of poached eggs. Even as a kid, my mum would always try her best to convince me to eat it, but all her effort was abortive. I placed my right hand on my mouth so I won't be tempted to vomit. "What's that? Don't you like eggs?" She must have noticed my unusual face and probed. "Not really, so Jane, when did you become a chef?" She smiled

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
