In Love With You 23. Lost<2>
Victoria sat on the train just tapping her foot. It seemed to be getting darker outside. There was a teenager sitting next to her, who was texting on his phone, so she peeped to check the time, it was 6:14 since she didn't have a wristwatch on.'Twelfth station.' She heard the train speaker announce. The doors opened and she stepped out. Climbing up the stairs that lead out of the subway, she saw a cab parked, waiting for passengers."Can you take me to grande hotel?" She said at the driver's window."You've got fare?""Yes.""Okay get in." He opened the car lock and she got in and he began to drive.*********Tn studio"Who is it?" Brown asked looking up from his tablet, when he heard a knock." Oh, it's you, Amber, right?""Yes.""Why are you still here, it's..." Brown stopped and looked at the time."It's almost seven.""I know...I was waiting for Tori....""Tori? Who's that?""Victoria, She isn't back yet, I called her phone but she isn't answering, and Brie just called to let me k

Tn headquarters.Brown walked out of the elevator when it reached the top floor. Drew was waiting for him."Is he finished with his meeting?" Brown asked as they walked to Jake's office. "Yes, and he knows," Drew said, making Brown stop to look at him."You told him?""He was there, the whole time of our call.""Are you joking?""I'm not, when you called, he was having a virtual meeting, but signaled me to take the call since it was you.""Shit." Brown slapped his forehead."Good thing you said it was your fault the whole time," Drew said in a bid to ease him.Reaching Jake's office, Brown saw someone else talking to Jake. He turned back to Drew, with a ' Should I leave' look."Evan's here to help," Drew whispered to him."We've tracked the phone's location." Evan left a tablet on the table, so Jake could see for himself.After he had looked at it, he raised his head and his eyes fell on Brown. Brown immediately looked downwards to avoid Jake's dark eyes."How did this happen? You sa

"Mr. Topher! Quite an honor to see you here." Mrs Darnell smiled when one of her helpers walked in with him, but got no reply from Jake.He just stood at the entrance with his hands in his pocket, looking around."Is your daughter home?" Evan walked up to her."Yes, she is." She still kept her smile wondering if Jake came for Chloe." Go get Chloe." She ordered another helper who stood there expecting her order.A few minutes later, everyone presents looked up at the top flight of the stairs when Chloe screamed."Be calm Chloe." She said to her excited self. When she saw Jake, she didn't know when she let out a loud squeal. She had always wanted to see him in person, she even followed her dad to a business party once, hoping to see him but he didn't come, now he was at her house."Did he ask for me?" She whispered to her mother when she got to where she stood, her eyes still on Jake."Here's my daughter, may I know why you asked of her?" Her mother neglected her question and said to th
Last Updated : 2023-06-20In Love With You 26. The arrest
The next morning.Tn headquarters."I want her arrested," Jake said to Evan, typing swiftly on the laptop in front of him. He had driven to Grande Hotel alone as soon as Brown had finished talking to see Victoria, but he didn't meet her.He just parked at a corner and watched her friends gather around her asking questions. He was irritated at what they were doing, she looked cold standing there in their midst. He thought the least they could have done was to let her go and have a hot bath.Drew said nothing, he was trying as much as possible to be quiet around Jake since last night. When he came in this morning with Jake, Evan was waiting."We know she paid someone to impersonate an officer, yes, but her father would bail her out in a matter of hours," Evan replied Jake waiting for his next words."Then find a way, I want her to pay for what she did. She did all this intentionally." Jake stopped what he was doing on the laptop."At age nineteen, she once accused her English lecturer o

"I'm doing the advertisement shoot with this other guy, so I'm in love with him, but he doesn't notice me till I get this perfume and it somehow makes him attracted to him," Victoria explained as they walked down the hallway together.Amber had asked her what the announcers had discussed with her."So when are they shooting it," Kim asked."Two days from now said they'll send a script for me."They went downstairs and got on the bus that usually transported them since they came to city A now. They were heading back to the hotel. Kim had taken a cab, she couldn't visit their hotel with them today."I'm hungry. What are you gonna order when we get back to the hotel." Amber asked her best friend while sitting lazily though she didn't do anything much today."You're always hungry," Brie said before looking back at her phone."I don't eat with your mouth, do I?" Amber said and Victoria had the urge to laugh but didn't want to stir up anything between them so she muffled it.***************

Amber walked back to where her friend was when she noticed her uneasiness."Are you okay?" She bent beside Victoria to ask."Yeah, she's asking me to marry her son, can you believe that?" Victoria replied in a hushed tone. She wasn't generally angry, but she found the whole thing unusual."Yes, I can." She heard Amber reply to her rhetorical question."No Amber, you don't get, she..." Victoria wanted to explain to Amber that she got it all wrong, but Amber pulled her up from the chair."Ssshh." Amber hushed Victoria's words. "Excuse us for a minute?" Amber smiled dragging her friend away from Gemma."We should call Brown right? Why didn't I think of that." Victoria said once they were out of Gemma's earreach."No. Why would we involve Brown in this?""I don't know. In case things go wrong.""We are at a hotel, what could go wrong? There's camera everywhere, except for the rooms." Amber folded her arms across her chest."Things could still go wrong, you know.""You worry too much Tori,

In Amber's hotel room."What are you going to ask her for?" Amber said falling to the bed as soon as they returned."What?" Victoria asked absentmindedly, taking off her flats."She said she was willing to do anything, what do you want her to do before you accept her proposal.""Gosh Amber, I already told you I'll decline it," Victoria said going into the bathroom."You also told her you'd think about it," Amber said in a louder tone so Victoria could hear her in the bathroom."That was due to your influence, I will call tomorrow and say no to her." Victoria wiped her hand with a towel, coming out of the bathroom."Come look at this." "What is it?" Victoria joined Amber in bed to see what she was looking at.It was pictures of a teenager who looked 19 or so. "When she said his picture was not on the internet, I knew it was impossible," Amber said."Is that her son?" Victoria took the phone from her."His old photos, I think.""No recent ones?" Victoria asked again scrolling through

MorningJake closed his eyes, his head thrown back as he sat in his home office. This wasn't the first time Drew was seeing him do what he just did. He knew his boss was often tired and didn't get just enough sleep to complement the times he stayed up working.Sitting back up, Jake rubbed his eyes with his thumb and index finger. He clicked through the emails on the laptop in front of him, where he didn't receive work-related emails. Drew was busy sorting out the files from last night on the table.Jake stopped scrolling and he noticed. He also noticed Jake contract his left fingers into a fist and then release them repeatedly. "Is the president here?" He heard Jake ask if Gemma was at the mansion."Yes, I think so." Jake closed the laptop and left the office. Drew followed immediately but not because he needed to, he just wanted to see what Jake was angry about, to know what he saw in the email."What did you do?!" Jake walked up to the opposite end of the table where his mother wa

In Love With You 80. Can I Kiss You?
"I'm desperate Vee, I won't lie I am." He touched her forehead with his,"I just want it to be how it used to be, except that we are older now and I don't need to hide before I can spend time with you. I just want you and your love, I just want you to love me as much as I love you." Victoria didn't interrupt him while he spoke. She was confused just as much as he was drunk. When he said he wanted it to be how it used to be, she felt like he couldn't be lying or saying rubbish like she initially thought. She wished she could just remember the things he was speaking of and be sure he wasn't just saying those things because he was drunk.While she was still in thoughts, she felt his lips on her forehead. Jake kissed her lightly on her forehead and left his lips lingering over her head, wanting to kiss her in more places than just her forehead but he also was trying to control himself. He hugged her in hopes that it would calm him down from losing himself. He hugged her tight, his nose re

While Jake returned to where Victoria lay to check on her, Hale got a call from Felix and went and handed the phone over to Gemma."Felix," he mentioned who it was calling after she took the phone from him."The guests are beginning to notice young Mr Topher's absence, Mrs Topher." He informed her."Sir Gregory gave a cheer speech to his nephew's new age and asked for him to come clink a glass of wine with him and now everyone's wondering where he is.""Keep everything under control, we will be on our way back very soon." She told him and went to Jake."We have to go back...""She needs to be taken to the hospital." Jake couldn't believe her. He wasn't going to leave Victoria till she got to the hospital safely."Someone will take her," he noticed how his mother was back to being autocratic now that Victoria wasn't dead anymore."I will go with her to this hospital and be with her.""Jake!" Gemma got angrier than she could contain."Do you have any idea how bad things will get if you don
In Love With You 78. Years Ago: Saving Her
Jake got to the beach of the sea and stopped the car. He quickly got out and went to where a car was parked. There was no one in the car so he looked around the water and saw the people he was looking for. They were on a yacht so he ran towards the water."Stop!" He yelled out but they didn't seem to hear him so he yelled louder."Stop! Don't do it!" He waved as he yelled."Can't you hear me?!" He screamed out but the yacht only went farther on the water till it stopped going. He stopped screaming, thinking they finally heard him and that was why the yacht was stopped but that wasn't why.He saw them throw a person into the water, he could see the water around there splash. He immediately took off his suit jacket and dived into the water.Gemma and Hale got there just in time to see him jump into the wavy water. Gemma got out of the car immediately and ran to the shore of the water."Jake!" She panicked when she saw him swimming further into the water. "Hale, do something!" She turned

Jake snuck out of the party like he did the first time and made sure no one was following him, especially his nanny. He knew she wouldn't let him into the room again after letting him the first time. His mother had instructed her to make sure he didn't talk to or meet Victoria but she risked her job when she let him; she might not let him again. Looking left and right to ensure that no one was around, he opened the door to Nanny Therese's room and went it. He was surprised that the lights were turned off because it wasn't when he was here earlier. He wondered if she had fallen asleep for the lights to be turned off. He went to where he knew the switch would be and turned on the light. Victoria wasn't on the bed sleeping like he thought. He picked up his neck chain and went to the bathroom door to knock."Vee?" He called out to her, strangely feeling worried. Victoria didn't respond to his call after he called out two more times so he opened the bathroom door and looked around.
In Love With You 76. Tears Ago
"Jake?" He was called back just when he was about to go into Victoria's room. It was his eighteenth birthday and his mother had prepared a big party he did not ask for. After meeting many business men and women and thanking them for coming like his mother asked him to, he snuck out of the party which was holding in their large, hall-like living room.He hadn't seen Victoria since morning that day so he went straight to where he knew she would be, her and Nanny Therese's room."Jake?" It was Nanny Therese."What are you doing here? Do you want your mother to get angry at you on your birthday too?""I just want to see her," he explained to her."No. Your mother prohibits you.""Why is she in the room alone, I want her to be at the party.""No.""Did mum ask you not to let her?""Jake, please, just return to your party before the president notices you are gone." Nanny Therese worried that his mother might find out he left the party and she knew she wouldn't be happy to know that he came

"I would do that," she gave a reply to his question."I would drink a glass of wine so suddenly like that." "Why? You don't like me that much?" He asked and she didn't know what to answer so she opted for the only thing to avoid that question."It's not your turn to ask. It's my turn.""I'm waiting." He complied."Why don't you like your brother?" She asked something he didn't know if he could answer or not. He was starting to realize that she had lots of questions he wouldn't want to answer and he could end up drinking more than he could handle."You really want me to get drunk, don't you?" He asked and Victoria's eyes widened."Me? Get you drunk? No. Of course not." She swallowed and started to use her hand as a fan even if the air conditioning was working well."I make stupid decisions when it's you involved. I shouldn't have agreed to this, I'm surely getting drunk tonight.""You don't have to play the game if you feel like that." Victoria said to sound innocent and hoped he didn'

Victoria sat in the car while the helpers put in suitcases in two of the cars. She couldn't believe she actually did agree and was about to go to the airport and take a flight to the renowned Katar beach in M-city. She had always wanted to go there so she picked that place. At least, there would be an advantage to her agreeing to go on a honeymoon trip with him.She had spoken to him after her call with Amber yesterday and he assured her that they will be back two weeks before the preplanned fashion show so she can return to practicing with the other models.*****M-city."Wowww," Victoria let her eyes wander around her when she got out of the car that just stopped in front of the beach's resort."Do you like it?" Jake came up behind her."I love it. The place is beautiful. Much more beautiful than I thought." She had the biggest smile on and it made Jake happy."Your room," the hotel manager showed them to an executive suite and waited for Jake's comment but Victoria spoke first."It

"So, how's my brother-in-law doing?" "O my god, Amber, it's just for some months," Victoria told her friend and heard her laugh out loud over the phone."Mark my words, it's gonna be longer than that, way longer. I know love when I see it.""Here we go again.""You know I have a way to detect love when I see it.""And is that because he's billionaire Jake Topher?" Victoria laughed back before getting a knock on the door."Who is it?! Cora? Emily?" She asked, but when she didn't get a response, she decided to go for the door, leaving her phone on the bed."Give me a second, Amber,""Alright..." Amber replied to Victoria who was already by the door."Emily, I told you already, I eat all the types of fruits, so anyone you use to make my fruit salad is okay." Victoria started to talk before opening the door."Please don't come up to ask me again," She said on opening the door but saw that it wasn't Emily and neither was it Cora."Are you busy right now?" Jake asked her when she stood for s

"How did I? I guess I have a superpower, like you do" he reminded her of what she told him yesterday when they were alone in the kitchen.She laughed shortly."Okay, let's do this..." She had an idea to get him to tell her more of the things she wanted to know about him."How about I tell you about my grandma and our not-so-good relationship and then you tell me about you and your mother, and maybe your brother too?"Jake nodded. He didn't need her to tell him about her grandma because he knew her well, he knew about her relationship with her grandma but yet he nodded, anything to please her."Okay, I'll start." Victoria smiled. "My grandma is a nice woman, the nicest, I love my nana but...I haven't been on good terms with her since I turned eighteen, I mean there were a lot of things that led up to that but when I became eighteen, it kinda got out of hand." She paused and looked up from fiddling with her dish. After seeing that he was listening, she continued."I was in my Nana's roo
