2021-12-20 00:42:46Lisa looked around the room and noticed Ricardo, who was sleeping peacefully on the couch with his hands intertwined in each other's, and slowly climbed out of bed.
She was relieved that he was still sleeping, and she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to study him up close without being challenged by his icy eyes.She thought of Angels that she had read about as a child in some of her children's story books as she studied his face and imagined what it would have been like if his face could have been this angelica forever.Her gaze was drawn to his lips, and she exclaimed as flashes of memories converged."How could I have?" She pondered. "How could I possibly have kissed him? What on earth was I thinking? How am I supposed to look him in the eyes from now on? Oh, Lisa? Lisa? What have you done?"Lisa was able to recall everything that happened the night before. Everything. How she had kissed him and how he had stopped her, and she was more than ashRelated chapters

"Lisa!" From his office, Mr. Harry Byers yelled.Lisa sighed deeply and made her way to his office."Sir?"Mr. Harry Byers raised his head from his computer and locked his gaze on Lisa."How did you know the new CEO?" He inquired."I... I.. I" Lisa stuttered."Did you know he'd be taking over after Mr. Desmond Kincaid?""Not at all, sir."Mr. Byers gave her a serious look and said, "You are not telling everything to me. Did he help you get this job?""No way!" Lisa stated irritably. The last thing she wanted was for people to think she was hired because she knew who Ricardo was, and it was at this point that she began to consider the negative things that people would say about her. She hadn't given it a second thought until now.She had worked hard to get here as a secretary in one of the city's biggest companies, and a night with Ricardo could ruin her image and possibly her career.Mr. Harry Byers scoffed, his eyes piercing hers, and said. "Can

All employees were summoned to the main hall thirty minutes after his arrival for formal introductions.With the hall as silent as a graveyard, Ricardo began walking to the podium, his shoes echoing around the hall and every step he took feeling like a ticking time bomb that could go off at any moment.All of the employees were tense, with some holding their breath.Ricardo finally came to a halt in the middle of the podium. He looked around the hall with his glassy blue eyes full of daggers, making people shiver in their seats, until his gaze fell on Lisa.Lisa shivered as his cold eyes fell on her, but her stubborn side quickly took over, blocking out the coldness in his eyes.Lisa returned his gaze, maintaining eye contact until he averted his gaze and began speaking."Good day, everyone.""Good morning, sir," the employees all said together."My name is Ricardo Kincaid, and I am the new CEO of Megabiz. I'm not an expert in many areas of th

"I've seen the girl, and she's a scumbag." A lady voice said outside the restroom door that Lisa was the following day."That's exactly what I thought when I saw her. How could a CEO be interested in a woman as unattractive as she is?" Another lady stated.Lisa, who had finished urinating, struggled to get to her feet and walked out of the room. She was embarrassed that people thought she got the job because of her p***y rather than her brain."I even heard she was standing by his side as he read his taking over speech," said the first woman."Really?" The second lady questioned."Yeah. And she isn't even ashamed of herself."Lisa stomped to her feet, drew her skirt down, and flung open the door, enraged. Her stubborn side had had enough of this nonsense and would no longer take crap from anyone.When she opened the door, the two women who had no idea someone was inside the room immediately became quiet.When they saw the woman who had just st

On Friday afternoon, Ricardo frustratedly dropped the pen in his hand, sat back in his seat, and threw back his head.He sighed deeply and shut his eyes. Lisa's face appeared out of nowhere in the darkness, and Ricardo angrily opened his eyes."Fuck," he yelled.Ricardo hadn't been able to think clearly since the night Lisa kissed him, which annoyed him.He intentionally distanced himself from her in order to stop his strange feelings for her, but it didn't help his situation. In fact, it aggravated his situation and made him crave her even more.And on Wednesday, when he stood up for her in front of her coworkers, he wanted to do more than just hold her hand; he wanted to kiss her but he stopped himself.First, because Lisa might not want it, and second, because he knew it wouldn't help the situation she was in at the time.Ricardo sighed heavily as he imagined what Lisa's thin, pink lips would feel like on his.He discarded the thought, pick

Lisa walked out of the company like she'd just won the lottery. Her face was flushed red, and she couldn't believe Ricardo had walked all the way down from his floor to hers just to kiss her.She smiled as she remembered him telling her to look at him as she waved down a taxi and bit her bottom lip."I suppose everything went well today." Summer teased as she noticed an obviously overjoyed Lisa who had just entered the house."Yeah." Lisa replied and smiled at her."Does it have anything to do with your Mr. Ceo?" Summer asked, suspiciously."Yeah," Lisa replied, slumping down on the couch. "Yes, it does.""What happened?" Summer asked, expressing her enthusiasm."Ahhhh." Lisa sighed and smiled at her friend, "You can't understand.""Then make me.""He came to my office and..." Lisa trailed off as the memory of that moment replayed in her mind."And?" Summer asked. "He kissed me." Lisa gushed."Did he?" Summer exclaimed unb

Lisa hardly slept throughout the night because she was busy thinking about how Ricardo had kissed her inside her office but she later fell around past five in the morning and woke up at quarter part ten.The first name that came into her mind the second she woke up was Ricardo and she hurriedly sat up on her bed, looking around her room as if she was expecting Ricardo to come out of a corner.She took a soft breath and told herself to calm down."Stop stressing yourself, you can just visit him in his hotel room." Her stubborn side said."That isn't going to happen." Lisa replied and annoyingly got out of her bed. "What if he turns me away?""I don't think he will. That kiss was superb." Her stubborn side said."For once, I'm supporting you." Her subconscious said to her stubborn side."Okay, fine" Lisa said in surrender and headed to their bathroom.She intentionally put on a skimpy blue skirt on a black crop-top, picked up her purse and heade

"Hello, Lisa, are you there?" Her mother's worried voice could be heard on the other end of the phone. "Lisa?"Lisa slowly picked up the phone, attempting to slow her racing heartbeat."Yes, mom. I'm here.""What are we going to do now?" Her mother questioned."I don't know." Lisa replied sorrowfully. "That's a lot of money. What are we going to do now?"Her mother wept. "Okay, baby, I'll get back to you later. Bye.""Mom, I'm sorry.""It's okay.""I will try and come tomorrow or next tomorrow." Lisa said."You don't have to. Your dad wants you to focus on your job. Bye baby.""Bye, mom." She replied and hung up the phone.She sighed heavily as she put the phone down and had no idea that she was crying until a drop of tears dropped on to her hand.She wiped her tears away, sat up on the bed and started thinking of what to do."Hey Lisa." Summer called, knocking on her door.Lisa raised her head an

Lisa's apartment doorbell rang about 45 minutes later.Summer got to her feet and shouted, "I'm coming!" as she made her way to the door.She opened the door without checking the visitor through the peephole and received the shock of her life.Her eyes widened in fear and amazement as she looked at the extremely handsome man standing in front of her with glacy blue eyes."How may I help you?" Looking down, she asked."My name is Ricardo; where is she?"Summer, dumbfounded, pointed to Lisa's bedroom door and watched as Ricardo walked past her and into the room.He knocked once, and without waiting for an invitation, he pressed the doorknob and entered the room."Lisa?" He called out worriedly, shut the door, and walked over to her bed. "What is the matter with you?"Lisa wiped away her tears and turned to face Ricardo. His eyes were not cold, but rather filled with concern."I'm sorry, my friend lied. There is nothing wrong with me."

Ricardo opened his mouth as he focused his hard gaze on Susan and stated, "Apologies, baby sister, but I'm afraid I can't let this go. I can't fucking let this go!"He walked out of the room without looking back and neither was he aware of Lisa running after him. He slid inside his car and as he was ready to start his car, the passenger's door opened and Lisa slipped inside the car."You should have stayed with her." He said as he started the car and accelerated out of the parking lot."I... I want..." Lisa stumbled over her words, unsure of what to say."You don't trust me?""I trust you but... you are upset right now and I'm afraid you might hurt him.""No one, not even you, can stop me from hurting him.""Ricardo.""Now is not the time to Ricardo me.""No one, including you and Susan, will benefit from your being imprisoned. Neither Susan nor I want that for you, and I'm sure you don't want that for yourself either."Ricardo said as he slowed his car

"Can you tell me what's going on?" Lisa questioned, her brows raised in concern."Susan is at the hospital," he said as he turned to face her. "I'm sure the news came as a shock to her."Lisa sighed, gently pushed herself out of bed, and said. "I'll go with you.""But...""Shhhh...I've got this." With a shrug of her shoulder, "I'm strong enough to even go back home. I'm not sure why they haven't discharged me yet."She walked up to Summer and gave her a bear embrace. "Thank you for everything you've done. I love you."Summer wrapped her in a bear hug, tears welling up in her eyes as she did. "I love you as well.""You should go home right now; I'll come around when I'm strong enough."Summer smiled cautiously and nodded.≈"I'm here to see Susan Kincaid." To the nurse in charge, Ricardo said.The nurse looked down at the computer in front of her, typed in a few letters, then looked up.Ricardo and Lisa hurriedly board

Timothy Freeman slid open the van door, nodded to his colleagues, who were still seated in the car, put on a wireless earpiece, and closed the van after getting a text from Mr. Kim a few minutes earlier.One of Timothy Freeman's coworkers had already hacked the neighborhood's CCTV cameras, and they all watched as Timothy Freeman, with the help of Mr. Kim, entered the Kincaid's property.Two minutes later, Timothy Freeman was in front of Ricardo's apartment, and cracking Ricardo's password was not a difficult task for him.He walked in and went right to the kitchen, taking out all the cups and putting two drops of an unknown drug into each one before putting them back in their places.Then he went into the dining room, where he placed a camera in a flower vase that was strategically placed in one corner of the room before heading out the door.He and his team had been waiting all day and were overjoyed when Ricardo and Ellen started eating, but they stopped s

Ricardo connected his chilly, melancholy, and curious eyes with Mr. Wu's as he entered his hotel room and said. "What exactly were you talking about?"Getting to his feet, Mr. Adrian Wu headed toward the corner of his room where a board had been set up with many photographs pinned to it and numerous drawn arrows connecting one picture to the next.He pointed to a picture of a man with an extremely flat jawline, beady eyes, and a straight mouthache and said, "Him."Ricardo looked at the man with a look of complete incredulity on his face and said, "Go straight to the point, Adrian.""This investigation is just as important to you as it is to me. I've been working nonstop on this case, depriving myself of sleep, food, and the pleasures of women. I've been working on this case for 10 years in the hopes of discovering what I've been missing, and just a few months ago, I began an even more thorough investigation into him.""Kim?"Mr. Wu replied with a nod of

When Timothy arrived at the port, he quickly packed his truck, grabbed his small bag, and got out of the car, praying that he hadn't made a mistake.After completing all boarding procedures, he began walking towards the ship, completely unaware that a man in black was keeping an eye on him.With lightning speed, the man in black went closer to Timothy and pulled a small, sharp knife that looked like a pen, cutting through his stomach in a single motion.Timothy Freeman felt a searing pain in his stomach, and he immediately put his hands on it, attempting to figure out what was wrong."Blood," he mumbled as he looked down at his hands, which were covered in his own blood.His legs began to shake and his vision grew blurry as he looked around, attempting to figure out who had done this to him while wincing in pain.Within seconds, he was on his knees, grasping his stomach, and he couldn't make out any more images.No! In fear of dying, he thought. Tr

Standing in front of room 304, Lisa breathed a deep sigh, not trying to grimace in pain as she did.She took a few seconds to read the number on the door before deciding to knock.Knock. Knock.No one answered, but she got a strong feeling that someone was inside the room, so she knocked again.Ricardo walked up to the door and peered through the peep hole to see who was knocking. When he realized who it was, a wave of rage swept through him, and he opened the door."What are you doing here?" As soon as he stepped through the door, he asked coldly.Lisa flinched as Ricardo's cold blue eyes met hers, and she immediately summoned her stubborn side to take control.Her stubborn side suddenly took over, shrugging away all the coldness in Ricardo's eyes."To talk to you Mr. CEO." She replied."I don't want to talk to you.""However," she said, raising the envelope in her hand, "I want to talk to you about this.""You still need to be

Two days later, Lisa sluggishly opened her eyes, scanning her surroundings to ascertain her whereabouts, and Summer's face began to take shape in her vision.When she saw Summer, she immediately thought to herself, "I'm dreaming." Because the last time she and Summer had seen or talked to each other was the day she and Summer had clashed over Ricardo's true identity."Summer?" She spoke gently to the laughing figure in her vision."Yeah." Summer replied, heavinga relived sigh. "It's me, Lisa. How are you feeling? Let me go get the doctor."She grabbed Summer's wrist before she could walk away and asked weakly. "What is going on? Where am I?""It's a long story but thank Heavens you're alive. Let me go and get the doctor.""Doctor? Where am I?" She questioned again, looking around the room."In a hospital." Summer replied while attempting to walk away."Am I about to give birth?"Summer's heart sank when she heard this, and she had t

Ricardo hailed a cab and made his way to the local police station. The police were taken aback when they saw him, but they sent him to the interrogation room, not as a suspect but as a witness. A few hours later, after answering all of their questions and without leaving any stone unturned, he walked out the door of the police station and headed straight to his apartment, which was cordoned off by yellow police tapes.He stepped into their bedroom, avoided glancing at their bed, and then picked up his phone and debit card before walking to his garage.He slipped into one of his cars and sped out, all the while dialing a phone number."Hello." Into the phone, a feminine voice said."I'm Ricardo." He stated, his voice as icy as ever.For a few seconds, there was a long, awkward pause before the feminine voice replied. "Yes?""Your friend is sick. She's at a hospital." He answered."What have you done to her?" The feminine voice asked, her loathing fo

Ricardo gently opened his eyes and looked around the room, trying to make sense of what was going on and forcing the awful dream he had just had to the back of his mind with the thought that he would not allow anything bad to happen to Lisa, at least not while he was still breathing.Someone by his side sighed in relief, and he tilted his head in the direction of the sound."Thank Goodness he is still alive." The voice said as his gaze met Mrs. Kincaid's face, who was clearly the owner of the voice. "Ah...Ric, thank Goodness you're still alive."Ricardo's brows knit together and he opened his lips as his eyes were drawn to a bag of blood on a dripstand that was being connected to his left hand. "What am I doing here?"Mrs. Kincaid sighed heavily, tears in her eyes, and she said. "Thank your lucky stars that you're still alive. I was beginning to believe I'd lost you.""You're not answering my question. What exactly am I doing in a hospital? Where is Lisa? Wh
