Kylie's P O VThe crew member took us to a private presidential suit. I was shivering from the cold, though I was wrapped with several towels and a blanket."Miss Johnson, there is a hot bath prepared for you inside. You will feel better after this. The doctor will be here anytime," said the hotel staff. I nodded to her and went inside the bathroom."Should I come with you?" Cindy asked. She was worried sick for me and I could feel it."Nah, I am fine. You wait out here," I told her before closing the door behind me. I stripped off my wet clothes and then dipped my body in the warm water of the bathtub. A sigh of relief left my lips. The water temperature was soothing and it helped stop the shiver I felt a few moments ago.After soaking my body in the warm water for a few good minutes, I pulled myself out of the bathtub when I felt my body was warm enough. Only then did I realize I had nothing to wear. I saw a fresh bathrobe hanging on the stand of the bathroom. So I put it on before
Kylie's P O VI sighed and looked at his face and our eyes met. I don't from where I gathered up the courage but I did. And kissed him hungrily. The way he did a few minutes ago. The bathrobe was long and fell from my shoulders revealing my bare torso. I felt his hands on my boobs. He squeezed them and a moan left my throat."You know you can't meet other men while you are with me right?" he asked pulling away from the kiss."Yes," I whispered unbuttoning his shirt."Say that you won't meet other men or go out with them," he whispered near my ear. His hot breath fanned my sensitive skin near the neck."I won't meet any other man while I am with you," I replied back."And what about when you are no more with me?" he asked frowning. Really? I was horny like a bitch and he was asking me about my future plans?"I haven't thought about that yet," I snapped at him."So you will meet other men," he said like a statement."Can we not talk about this now? I want to please you, Master," I whine
Sebastian drove them to the corporate area of the city. Kylie had never come here because this area was only for big companies. Only elites and the top officials work here. Sebastian drove them to the parking lot of the biggest building there."I have some documents to sign here. Would you mind waiting for a few minutes?" he asked unclipping his seat belt. She shrugged, she didn't mind waiting for a few minutes."Are we signing any deal with this company?" Kylie asked as soon as they entered the lavish elevator. He chuckled and then pointed to the name board on top of the elevator buttons."This company belongs to you?" she asked surprised by the fact that she never knew how rich he was."This is the headquarters of the Smith group. I handled my business from here until I bought your company," replied with a pause."Star Media is a small company, I don't think you would need to run it personally. You can just appoint a manager to handle it and supervise from here," Kylie replied nonch
"Gran, can you stop your drama now? Can't you see you are scaring the poor girl," Sebastian said hugging his grandmother. Kylie was dumbfounded by them. Was she just acting to be tough?"Shut up brat! You spoiled all the fun," Old Mrs. Smith slapped Sebastian's hand away. Then walked to Kylie."She's so beautiful. Where did you find such a pretty girl?" she asked caressing Kylie's face with love."Hello Mrs. Smith, my name is Kylie," she said and went to hug the old woman. But was stopped mid-way."Don't call me that. You are now Mrs. Smith too. You can just call me Gran like that brat or you can call me Susan," she said with a scowl. But Kylie didn't miss the playfulness dancing in her eyes this time and chuckled."Okay, Gran. Did he ever tell you that you are adorable?" Kylie asked cupping her face with a grin."No, he didn't. And that's the reason I always asked you to get married," she told the last line eyeing Sebastian. Who raised his hands in the air making a sign of surrender.
Kylie woke up to an empty bed. Sebastian was nowhere in the room. She placed her hand on his side only to realize it was cold. That meant he left the bed a long time ago."He must have gone down to have breakfast with Gran," Kylie murmured before leaving the bed. She went to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, and fixed her disheveled hair. After wearing the clothes sent by his Grandmother she looked at the mirror for a final check before heading downstairs.Upon reaching downstairs, she saw Susan and Bella were talking about something serious. Bella watched her from the corner of her eyes and changed the topic all of a sudden."Mrs. Smith, you are already up. Had you had a sound sleep?" she asked with a grin. Though Kylie could read in her eyes that they were trying to hide something from her but she chose to ignore it since she's only a guest here."Good morning, Gran, and Bella. Sorry I overslept," she said with a bowed head."It's still very early dear, what are you talking about? Yo
"Are you dumb or what?" Alan chuckled and the dumbness of this woman in front of him. Kylie frowned at him. She was in no mood to entertain him, that was his job."What are you laughing at?" she asked crossing her hands in front of her."Of course, I am laughing at you fool. I am in the top ten most handsome men on the Forbes list. Girls are crazy for me. They can willingly give away their lives just to see a glance of me. Whereas you, you asked me if I was short on money because I asked you out for dinner?" he said with astonishment in his voice."I have never seen such a self-centered man like you," Kylie rolled her eyes then continued, "I know you are one of the most handsome men but I have seen better. As for the fact of having dinner with you, that I will think about and let you know," she said and was ready to see him out but the man was stubborn."Kylie Johnson, though you are just a mere secretary you have guts. And I like it. Now I am even more certain to have dinner with you
The car soon stopped in front of a lavish restaurant on top of a mountain. Kylie was lost staring at the natural beauty of the location and the decor of the restaurant."Look here," suddenly Alan called her. As soon as Kylie turned to face him she heard the click of a camera."There we go. The perfect selfie of the perfect couple," he said with a grin."Invading privacy or taking photos without permission are crimes, don't you know that?" Kylie asked angrily."I am a celebrity and public figure so I can click selfies with my fans. I don't see any legal issues here," he just shrugged his shoulder and got out of the car. Kylie sighed to calm her nerves down then followed him."Don't you think we should enter holding hands? See all the couples here are holding hands and acting so cozy," Alan tried to hold her hand but Kylie walked past him."Your loss then," he said and caught up with her. Alan was wearing a cap with a black mask and black sunglasses. No one could guess who it was by the
Alan dropped her in front of Sebastian's penthouse. Kylie watched him driving away. Though he seemed a playful person from afar she could feel he was hiding some big secret in his mind. When he heard she never went to country C he became silent after that. She also couldn't eat anything after the call from Sebastian. She sighed before walking inside the building. As soon as the elevator door opened, she felt a chill run down her spine. The whole apartment was dark and scary. She realized this was her first time being alone here. She searched for the switches in the dark and then turned the light on.A loud scream came out from Kylie when she realized someone was sitting on Sebastian's chair. Hearing her scream, the tall intimidating man turned around with his piercing blue eyes sending death glares to her."Y-you are back?" Kylie asked holding a hand on top of her racing heart."Would you be glad if I didn't?" Sebastian asked, his voice was dangerously low. Kylie gulped a few times b
"Mr. Smith, I just received a call from the secretarial office. Miss Lawrence's assistant asked for your appointment for a meeting. She wants our company to work on their promotional advertisement in New York," Paul informed Sebastian."Contact her and schedule a meeting for tomorrow," Sebastian said. After thinking momentarily, he added, "Also, ask Cindy to join the meeting with me.""Okay, sir," Paul nodded and left. Sebastian thought for a long moment about the similarities between Kate Lawrence and Kylie. Though their faces were somewhat similar, their personalities were far apart. That's why he asked Cindy to join the meeting. He wanted to see Kate's expression after meeting Cindy; since the latter was Kylie's long-time best friend.While waiting for her assistant Christine inside the car, Kate Lawrence checked the time on her limited edition wristwatch. She reached New York the day before yesterday. It had been hectic for her to go around between her new mansion and setting up h
Lying in the VIP ward of the hospital, Mae was playing with her mobile. Whereas Sebastian was sitting on the attached lounge working on his laptop. Mae was frustrated, she worked so hard to make Sebastian fall in love with her but he only thought of her as a friend. "Wasn't a Kylie enough in her life that a new threat Kate Lawrence appeared out of nowhere with the same face?" Mae muttered under her breath. She wanted to scratch the face of Kate so that nothing would remind Sebastian about Kylie. When she was plotting in her mind, she heard the sound of the door opening. Someone entered the front lounge. Because of the closed door of her room, she couldn't see the person but only heard muffled voices.
Mark Lawrence turned to his daughter with a questioning gaze. Kylie gave him an assured look with a smile. She didn't want her father to worry about her."Sure, and make sure you take good care of her. She is my only daughter," Mark said with a hint of authority making sure to let Sebastian know that Kate Lawrence wasn't someone he could play with. She was the precious daughter of Business tycoon Mark Lawrence."I would take good care of Miss Lawrence," Sebastian said before facing Kylie. Mark glanced at his daughter again before leaving them alone. "May I Miss Lawrence?" Seba
"Kate, I have guests who want to meet you," Alan said as he approached Kylie with Mae and Sebastian. Kylie's eyes changed several expressions sensing the presence behind her. First, her eyes became tensed and then cold before they turned lively. She turned around with a glass of red wine and a smile plastered on her glossy lips.Mae froze on her place seeing the familiar face before her eyes. She never thought she would see that face ever again. She was both shocked and scared of the face standing in front of her. Meanwhile, Sebastian was composed and calm compared to Mae. He had seen Kate's face before, he was just observing her expression and body language to confirm his suspicion."Kate, this is my best friend from school, Sebastian Smith; I have told you about him before remember? And she is Miss Mae Wiggins, the only daughter of Mr. Wiggins from the Wiggins Group," Alan introduced the guests to his cousin."Hello, I am Kate Lawrence. It's a pleasure meeting a great businessman li
"Hey, Mark, is it true that you found your long-lost daughter?" asked Senator Jackson to Mark Lawrence. The were very old friends."It's true. We almost lost all hope of finding her. You know how hard we tried searching for her after her kidnapping. Finally, Alan found her recently in New York. She managed to escape from the kidnapper and a kind couple rescued her and adopted her. They raised her as their own daughter," Mark Lawrence replied with a heavy heart."It must have been tough for poor Kate. However, I am impressed that she managed to become a successful designer. My daughter loves the dresses Kate designs," Senator Jackson praised Kylie with admiration. Mark Lawrence felt proud of his daughter."Well both me and Lily are proud of her. We are also looking for a potential life partner for Kate. Do you have someone in mind that is suitable for her?" Mark asked. He was aware of Kylie's tough life with Sebastian, thus he took the matter of finding a life partner for his daughter
"Did he recognize me?" Kylie was standing at the entrance of the garden. Seeing Alan returning she asked him."As expected, he suspected you. everything is going according to your plan. I told him you would need his help establishing your new branch there," Alan responded. The usual playfulness of his face was replaced with seriousness."Of course, I would take his help to destroy him," Kylie smirked with a scoff. "Do you think you could suppress your feelings for him when you would meet him? You loved him for four long years," Alan asked placing his hands inside his pockets."All the feelings I had him before were washed away in that river when I fell. I only have one feeling for him now and that is hatred. Don't worry about me," she said sitting on the swing in the garden."Have you ever thought from a different prospect? What if it wasn't him? What if he was also being deceived by Mae and his father just like you?" Alan couldn't help but the question that had been bothering him fo
"Hey, Mom and Dad, did you miss me?" Kylie chimed as soon as she entered the Lawrence Mansion. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence were having their evening coffee in the living room. Their faces lit up when they heard the voice of their beloved daughter."Kate, you are back. I missed you a lot honey," Mrs. Lawrence said and went ahead to hug her. "You just saw her this morning, Aunt Lily," Alan said leaning against the door frame."How could I not miss my precious daughter? I haven't seen her for twenty years. When I found her after all these years, you are taking her away again," Mrs Lawrence complained to Alan. She wasn't happy that her daughter was going back to New York. She had searched for her dear daughter for two decades after her kidnapping, Now that she's back after going through the dark part of her life, she should stay with her parents and enjoy a blissful life instead of going back to get revenge. Mr. Lawrence knew well what was going through his wife's mind so he decided to join in
Kylie's P. O. V"How could he kill my father? He's a bloody monster," cried my heart out sitting on the passenger seat of Mae's car. She didn't utter a single word from the moment we got inside the car and I was grateful to her for giving me some time alone.I don't know how long I cried until there weren't any tears left in my eyes. Mae was still driving the car. I wiped the tears from my eyes being composed after crying all my emotions out. Then my eyes landed on the road ahead of us. I wasn't familiar with this road."Where are we going, Mae?" I asked turning back to her but her expression was cold. She wasn't the cheerful Mae I had met before. Her eyes were like a maniac. I was feeling afraid suddenly."Mae, stop the car, I am not feeling good," I said grabbing her hand but she shoved my hand off."Do I look like, I care what are you feeling?" she asked raising a brow. I wasn't expecting this reaction from her so it made me shocked for a few seconds before the reality struck me."
"Sir, you have a meeting in the afternoon with the foreign delegate, before that you have a lunch meeting with one of our clients," Paul informed Sebastian about his schedule. Sebastian didn't respond to him, he was engrossed in the report in his hand. Paul sighed, he felt sad for his boss. If it wasn't for that accident three years ago and the disappearance of Mrs. Kylie then his boss wouldn't be a workaholic like this. "Mr. Smith," Paul said clearing his throat a bit louder. Sebastian frowned before rising head from the report."Any news on Kylie?" he asked and that was the most dreaded question Paul was facing for the last three years."Sir, our people are constantly searching but still they couldn't find any trace of Mrs. Smith. Police already lost all hope and closed the case. According to them, Miss Kylie didn't survive the fall and her body may have been washed away by the water. Why don't you also stop waiting for her," as soon as those words left Paul's lips, he heard a loud
