Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER ELEVEN (The Visit)
Helen I sat on my bed with my knees curled to my chest and my two hands on my cheeks, reminiscing on the call I just received from the doctor. I couldn't believe what I had just heard. Was it a crime that I didn't have enough money to pay for my mother's medical needs? The news he had called with was a different ball game from what I had hoped for when I went visiting earlier in the day. He'd called to inform me about the slight change in my mum's hospital accommodation. Earlier today, when I went to the hospital, I was so excited that he’d said she is in a good condition and getting ready for the surgery, that all I had to clear was the outstanding bill before he proceeded, and I wanted a little time to gather some money. According to him, there was no cause for alarm, and I couldn't have been happier to receive that news. At least, one of the worries on my mind was out. I had a lot of burden on me, but the stress of also knowing that my mother was critically ill weighed down on

“Open the door, Helen.” a familiar voice I had come to dread fearfully echoed behind the closed door. “Just a minute granny” I said in a tired tone. Just as I suspected, my old landlady has probably come to remind me of the house rent that was due. I had been behind on payment, and she probably got tired of waiting for me to fix myself up. Maybe, she had come with her eviction notice. I braced myself for whatever she had come for, as I couldn't have had a worse day. The old lady has done enough to let me stay for two extra months for free in her house after my last rent expired, which is the only source of her livelihood. As much as i was afraid to look her in the face and inform her that i don’t have her money yet, i also had no choice than to let her know. At least, this was going to help her make her decision. She could decide if she wanted to have me ejected out of her house or decide to keep me till I would be able to sort her out. I shrugged at this thought and shuffled list

I wasn't expecting to hear that voice I heard speak those words he just spoke. I've always seen him as one who never cared about what the other party was feeling, as long as he got what he wanted.I knew that was very peculiar to businessmen who were successful in their various fields. They only identify where their aims and objectives are and begin to push in the direction without stopping until they've achieved the desired results.Since I already had his audience, it was better I turned and faced him, so we could get to business, although I shouldn't appear too eager in order not to shoot myself in the foot.Appearing too desperate may ruin the little chances I have to redeem my image before him in the future, and I wouldn't jeopardize the chance I have now.I offered a quick prayer and turned around to behold the face which had come to my rescue.I could see the car door was opening and a sleek shoe which probably cost more than all the money I had spent in my entire life peeked o

Lucas opened it and took a minute to run his eyes over the document in the file before he snapped it shut. “This is a deal you have to sign concerning the marriage i mentioned earlier to you, it includes in detail all the cash and incentives you will receive as my wife. ” he pushed it out to me with a look that showed he wanted to be done with this and get back to business. That was the problem with him. He was always in a rush. He usually does things like he was being forced and right now, he was acting like he wouldn't be here if he had a choice. Well, he really didn't have a choice if he was coming to me for marriage. Insure, he had already weighed the pros and cons of the matter, and I'm sure it was going to be beneficial to him in one way or the other. Successful businessmen like him wouldn't cut or make deals that wouldn't favor them. They went into a deal rest assured that their interests were protected, hence, the need for the document he was offering to me. I was reluctan
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER FIFTEEN (Buzz in Boutique)
LucasI took one last look at the girl, who stood transfixed and hadn't moved an inch from where she stood since I made my intention for coming known to her.She was like something within my grasp and yet it eludes me. I furrowed my brows trying to explain the feeling to myself, but there was no other way to explain it.She was like a deal I wanted badly due to the benefits I would get from it, and yet I wanted more than nothing to be associated with it. I glanced sideways at Phillip and could see that he was also engrossed in a world of his own.My thoughts traveled back to the girl who was still standing transfixed on a spot. Her guts annoyed me most, and on the other hand, it surprises me. With my experience in handling desperate people, I have never seen any that would hesitate to sign a 7-figure deal, requesting it goes by her terms.She didn't even take a moment to spare a glance at the document with her, unlike some of the others who wouldn't hesitate to append their signatures

I smiled at this thought, but then I frowned at my face, knowing she was taking more time than I was willing to give her. All I wanted her to do was to sign the damn document and save me from the embarrassment that the board of directors and my counterpart could bring to my family. Most of the directors were really expecting me to fail in finding a wife, as they were actually in support of the other person who was trying to contend for the position of CEO with me. They must have felt that since he was married, he was more responsible than I was and deserved to be the CEO irrespective of competence and character. My thoughts made me look sideways, and I could see that Phillip was lost in another world of his own. I hadn't heard him speak to me since we left Helen's place and was curious about what could be wrong when I saw that he was also immersed in his own thoughts. One thing that ever ceases to amuse me about Phillip was how he would appear to be faraway in his thoughts for a mom
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER SEVENTEEN (Buzz in the Boutique)
All the mean words in my mouth left me, that was exactly what I would have done. I wanted nothing more than to make sure the tongue he uses in defaming me hangs loosely by the side of his mouth or, better still, it should be cut off, so he wouldn't have the opportunity of going after another person. I chuckled inwardly to myself as this thought filtered into my head, but I had to keep a stern face at the man running his loose mouth, standing before me. I could see that my bodyguard and Phillip had already gotten into a defensive mode and had their guns clicked, ready to fire at any slight provocation from any of the Williams family. I didn't doubt what they could do at the moment, but we were in a shopping mall and the fight could get nasty which would probably affect others who had no business with it, so I have to be diplomatic about this. Buzz was an airhead who didn't care what happened as long as he got the upper hand, but I wasn't brought up to be a simp, but to be sensib
Entangle With The Billioniare CEO CHAPTER EIGHTEEN (Film Festival)
Throughout the drive to Houston, the thoughts of the previous event were all over my mind. Instead of getting angry, I made a firm resolve in finding a way to end Buzz madness once and for all. Buzz may be a clown, but he’s no fool, he knows how to pursue what he wants and will always try with all effort to get what he wants. Especially now that his father has fueled all his actions. His father never rebuked his attitude and actions, he’s even supporting him with his special forces to help him fight for the position. No wonder Buzz's father, Marcus Williams, had insisted right from the time, that Buzz should attend a different business and martial arts school like me. It's obvious that he doesn’t want the CEO position to leave his family. But Buzz as a clown who lacks interest in school had refused, with the conviction that to be a good CEO, plenty of education isn’t required. This revelation made me remember what had happened at one business school we had both attended one summer

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

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

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
