2021-12-24 16:13:41Lisa 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 headeRelated chapters

"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 parked his car in the hospital parking lot three hours later and tilted his head in Lisa's direction."I'll be waiting for you here. Take your time.""I appreciate it." Lisa said as she stepped out of the car and shut the door. She began walking towards the hospital entrance but abruptly came to a halt, turned around, and waved at Ricardo, who was sitting inside the car, before continuing on her way.She paused for a few moments before opening the door to her father's hospital room, sighed heavily, and slowly opened the door.Her mother tilted her head in the direction of the door, thinking it was one of the nurses, but when she saw who was there, her mouth dropped open and she got out of the chair in shock."Lisa?" She called as she was motioning towards the young lady who was standing by the door. "Is that you, Lisa?"The woman sobbed as she tightly hugged her daughter.Lisa returned her hug."I didn't think you'd come.""Mom, I

Lisa began reading the paper, and when her eyes caught a sentence, she looked up from the paper and looked at him, bewildered."I will be staying in your house the entire time?" She asked when she could finally speak."Yeah." Ricardo replied. "Do you have a problem with that?"Lisa's mouth dropped open and she struggled to close it."N...no," she mumbled. "I...but...""But, Lisa?"She sighed heavily and replied. "Never mind," and kept reading the contract, which was detailed enough, detailing everything that would happen if she stayed with him.When she was done, she took a pen from the table and signed the contract, signing away her virginity and her dignity as a woman.She passed the paper to him, stood up, and said. "I'd like to get going."She turned around and began walking out of his office without waiting for his response."Lisa." Ricardo called.Lisa came to a halt and turned her head."Did you read the part where i

Ricardo arrived a few hours later and went straight to the shower.Lisa nervously studied her phone clock, knowing she was about to lose her virginity in a matter of seconds.Ricardo opened the door and walked in wearing only his boxer shorts, exactly fifteen minutes after entering the shower.Lisa's heart pounded faster, forcing her to breathe more forcefully and she wraped the blanket around herself more tightly.Ricardo laid down next to her on the bed and waited a few seconds before placing his hand on her.She spotted goosebumps as his hand made contact with her skin, but she was still nervous and began blinking her eyes uncontrollably."Lisa?" He called to see if she was still awake.Lisa sighed heavily, and the next second, her stubborn side took over.She turned around and looked into his beautiful blue eyes, which were neither cold nor soft.After a few seconds of staring into each other's eyes, Lisa moved closer to him and

The drive to the company was cold, silent, and awkward, and Lisa wished she hadn't signed the contract at one point.They arrived at the company after some minutes of driving. Ricardo parked his car in the VIP parking lot and stepped out, still as cold as he had entered the car.They walked to their respective floors without saying anything to one another.Lisa sighed as she walked into her office, dropped her bag, and began to wonder what Susan and Ricardo were talking about.Lisa was certain that something had happened in the past, and that incident was the cause of their relationship breakdown."They must have been very close." Lisa muttered as she made her way to the managing director's office, holding a fresh flower in her hand.She took out the old flower, replaced it, and sighed deeply. She was still thinking about that conversation, trying to connect some dots but failing.Lisa finally settled on a phrase after too much thinking. "Lisa, sto

A part of Lisa told her to message Ricardo about the letter but another part of her declined the suggestion so, she headed to the restroom, showered, put on a new gown and applied a very little amount of lipstick just to look presentable.Before stepping out of the house, she heaved a sigh, tried to calm her beating heart down and finally walked out of the house.Even though Lisa had never seen or been to Mr. Desmond Kincaid's house, she kind of knew the direction and started walking towards it, thinking it was only a five-minute walk, but after walking for fifteen minutes without stopping, she began to have second thoughts but still continued walking.She sighed heavily when his house finally came into view, readjusted her gown, slowly climbed the stairs and knocked on the door.Within a few moments, the same woman who had given her the envelope opened the door and smiled at Lisa."Hey." Lisa said."Here you are. Come on in." The woman said as she step

Ricardo hadn't made another move on Lisa since the first night, which had begun to botherLisa, but tonight was different. Ricardo moved closer to Lisa and began kissing her the moment he joined her in bed. Lisa kissed him back, relieved, but the kiss lasted only a few seconds before it stopped. "Goodnight," Ricardo said as he returned to his side of the bed and drew the blanket over his head. Lisa sighed, cursing the day she vowed to remain a virgin until she met the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. She kept a close eye on Ricardo's breathing until it became shallow. ≈"No!" Someone yelled, and Lisa turned around on the bed, half-asleep."No! No! No!" The voice screamed once more. Lisa opened her eyes worriedlyand turned on the bedside lamp. "No!" The voice shouted again in a terrified voice. Lisa turned quickly to face the direction from which the voice was coming, and lo and behold, it was Ricardo.

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
