KIDNAPPED BY THE CEO

Chapter 12

Time flew quickly, as Maria spent the remaining part of the afternoon working in Adrian's office. He barely said a word to her and when he did, it was about getting clarity on certain dates and details of the contracts.

Maria itched to talk to him and rant about how quiet the office was, not like she enjoyed his company and she hadn't even forgotten the event that happened the evening before, but she hated the unnerving silence that flowed between them.

"What's the use of being here if you planned on finishing what is remaining of my life with boredom?" Maria summoned the courage to ask.

Adrian clicked his tongue and typed away, infuriating Maria who was expecting an answer from him.

"I know you heard me Mr Adrian," She continued to grate on his nerves, even though she knew what he was capable of doing to her.

Adrian lifted his gaze from the computer and fixed it on her. "And what am I supposed to say to you? I am your boss and unnecessary chatter

    KIDNAPPED BY THE CEOChapter 13Maria and Kelvin exchanged surprised glances. They couldn't stand each other and the last thing she expected was Adrian asking him to take her in. "What do you mean by that? How can you ask him to take me in, isn't it better I crawl all the way in," She yelled. "It's either you stay outside alone or you allow him to take you in. Is that understood?" He asked, his voice slightly raised showing how irritated he was by her defiance. She nodded slowly and sulked while Kelvin swept her off her feet. She didn't bother to resist as she had enough for the day. Her body ached for the soft mattress in her room and she couldn't wait to lay on it. "Can you hurry? Your arms aren't so comfortable," She bemoaned and rolled her eyes. Kelvin increased his pace until he got to her room. He dropped her gently on the bed and while he was about exiting the room, Maria stopped him with a shocking question. "How did you feel after watching that innocent man die?" He tw

    KIDNAPPED BY THE CEOChapter 14 Kelvin sighed after leaving the shower. It had been stressful at work as his boss, Mr Adrian, kept sending him on errands. He couldn't complain because he was faithful and enjoyed working for him. Only that, he had become more edgy recently so he had to tread carefully or his life would be on the line. His boss didn't tolerate mediocrity or disloyalty, and he wouldn't think twice before dumping him if he ever found such characters in him. He heard a knock on his door and yawned, then stared at the clock hanging on the wall. It was almost 9pm and all he wanted to do was to sleep. "Who's there?" He asked, tossing his pajama short. "It's I, Ryder." He rumbled and Kelvin rolled his eyes, fighting simultaneously with the sleep that was about to claim him. "Come in then," He said and laid on the bed, his head on the soft and fluffy pillow. "I've never seen you this tired before. Was today really stressful for you?" Ryder asked with concern and lowered

    KIDNAPPED BY THE CEO Chapter 15 Maria's breathing grew rapid because of the discomforting position Adrian put her in. "Let me go!" She hollered demandingly but Adrian only regarded her like a mere servant that had no right to make orders. Frustrated and angry, she tried to kick his stomach but he was able to sense her move and block her legs from touching him. "Why do you like to test me, huh? There was obviously no need to escort him to the door, you just wanted to sell yourself to him." He paused while Maria wore a deep frown, thinking of what to say to save her pride. "I told you earlier that you'll be going to work tomorrow, but you argued and called me names. Now you have decided to be very nice to the doctor." "How is that any of your business? He was very kind to me and he is more of a human than you'll ever be," She said and scoffed. "Oh really?" He narrowed his brows and smirked, lowering his face towards her since he was taller than her. "I wonder who trained you becau

All she had to do was to tell Adrian about his schedule and enjoy her free time.The telephone beside her laptop rang and she picked it up immediately without having to guess who the caller was. "Maria on the line," She said enthusiastically."In my office, now!" Adrian barked and ended the call.Maria stared at the receiver, shocked by Adrian's harsh tone. She didn't expect him to be that demanding even though he didn't like her.Her ankle was healing slowly, but she wasn't about to let Adrian know about it or he'll add more workload to what she already had. She adjusted the band of her wide leg pants and stood up.She walked slowly and took in deep breaths to keep herself level headed as Adrian knew the right button to press to get her angry."You sent for me, sir," She said after getting permission from him to come into his office."I

    KIDNAPPED BY THE CEOChapter 17 Maria, who was elated because of the contract that she was able to get, became sad at her boss's choice of words. If it were to be Mr Raymond, he'd have praised her and even give her some money. While she pondered on what Adrian said to her, the door of her office swung open and she knew exactly who did that. "Hi! Bestie, congratulations," Rachel stormed in and hugged her tightly, then sat on the little couch in her office. They had been best of friends since Maria started working in the company. But it didn't just happen, Maria who was very jovial and outspoken once helped her when she noticed that Aurora insulted her. Not being able to take it, she barged into their conversation and made sure that Aurora never spoke to Rachel in such a manner. Rachel was very grateful and she insisted that they went for lunch together, and since then, they had turned to soul sisters. She had been absent from work because she went on leave, and they communicated

"Calm down, Rachel. It's his fault that he can't recognize the blessing that has been given to him. I'll make sure that we go out together on Friday night and we'll have a good time," Maria promised, feeling bad at how Carlos disrespected her friend. But she couldn't blame him completely, Rachel hadn't told him about her feelings even when she pressured her to do so. She had said that Carlos was supposed to be sensitive enough to know that she liked him. "Fvck men! I don't need them," She exclaimed. "Don't say that, besides, you haven't come clean to him about your feelings so how do you expect him to know that he likes you?" Maria asked, rubbing her hair softly to ease her pain. Rachel stopped sobbing, her eyes lit up with hope then she became sad again. "That isn't an excuse, Maria. I've given him

He didn't want her to get suspicious of what he had done or notice the tension between him and Maria. "I came to see my boy, of course. Is there anything wrong with that?" Veronica asked with a small frown. "Nothing is wrong with that. I'm just surprised and unprepared for your visit, and I can see that you are settling in well," He said, taking a glance at their entwined hands. "Sure. I like her already, she's so beautiful and homely," Adrian scoffed and hugged her briefly then darted his eyes towards Maria who kept staring at Veronica's nails until she was sure that he wasn't looking anymore. Veronica noticed the slight tension between the both of them and cleared her throat. "Ummm . . children, I know you are both stressed with work, so I'll head to the kitchen right now and prepare something

    KIDNAPPED BY THE CEOChapter 20 It was Friday evening already. Maria and Veronica sat in the living room, talking about an incident that happened to Maria and how she met him the first time. "He was very kind to me that morning and I even wanted to compensate him for not creating a scene, but after working with him for almost a week, I just want to kick his butt." Maria bemoaned, causing Veronica to giggle lightly, but she stopped almost immediately when she saw Adrian behind Maria with a frown on his face. "You really want to kick my butt, huh?" Adrian's deep voice interrupted her chattering. "I didn't know that you were listening to my conversation, besides it's bad to eavesdrop on people's discussion," Maria scolded him lightly and watched him scoff. He wore a black long-sleeved shirt that he rolled up before his elbow, leaving two buttons open so that his chest would be exposed. The shirt was tucked into a pair of gray pants with a black matching loafer. Maria scanned his ou

This wasn't going to look good for either of the family. "Why? Why are you telling us this? Did Steve cheat on you? If he did, then we will give him a piece of our mind."
