Taylor has been feeling somewhat ever since he met up with Asher. He had called and messaged his people and they’ve given him confirmation that Anamika was fine. A video of her was even sent, still, he can’t be rest assured. Asher and Quinn are still at the hotel and they’ve not stepped out of it. He checked the cameras he placed in their rooms and both of them were sleeping. Taylor ruled out the possibility that he might be paranoid, because he has no iota of trust for Asher. Asher gives him a vibe he cannot explain in words… a mysterious air hangs around him that if one were to tell Taylor that Asher was Lord Ash, he’d without a doubt, believe it. Feeling frustrated by his restlessness and feeling of dread, he messaged his people that were with Anamika again and he got a reply. Just as he was about to sigh with relief, his gaze shifted to the time of the reply. The message was delayed by one minute! Taylor frowned. That was not supposed to mean anything but to the paranoid Tayl
The lady pushed him off her and apologized but Taylor didn’t mind it. He wanted something else. He desperately wanted her. Right here and now! He pulled the girl closer, lowered his head and claimed her full kissable lips... It felt good! The guards were stunned, confused, and lost on what to do and think. Their boss is not the type to do things like this. The only woman he had ever kissed and touched was CEO Mika. On second thought, their boss is also a human with blood running through his veins. They were all men and understood that sometimes, their lust grows so strong that they can’t help but look for a woman to pour their milk into. After all, they take hard drugs, so they’re not like other average men. With that in mind, one of the guards stopped the elevator and they got out to give their master some privacy while they took the stairs. After climbing a few floors, they saw a male cleaner coming out of a room with his cleaning tools. He was about to take the elevator, but fo
Seeing that Asher wasn’t ready to speak, Taylor said, “If I kill you, your turfs will be mine,” he got up and pointed his gun at him. “Say hello to Cullen for me and tell him I’m disappointed at his worthlessness, Lord–“ The next moment, the door burst open and tear gas was thrown in. Immediately, a team wearing full tactical gear hurried into the room and apprehended everyone. “Taylor Smith, you’re under arrest for illegal activities…”By the time that the white smoke had subsided, everyone, except Asher was pinned to the floor while getting their hands handcuffed behind their backs. Nothing that the leader of the team said entered Taylor’s ears. His amused gaze was stuck on Asher, who was still sitting on the bed despite the heavy tear gas that had subsided a while ago. Taylor’s eyes and throat were still hurting but from the corner of his eyes, he could see Asher who was just taking the cloth away from his face. ‘So, this was what he meant when he said that I’ve lost? Is he
It’s been two weeks since Anamika was brought back, and like the doctor predicted, she drifted into a coma. Asher was devastated when the news hit him, because, according to the doctor, Anamika might spend days, weeks, months, years, or even decades in her sleep. However, with his kids right beside him and waiting everyday for their mother to move her finger, Asher refused to succumb to his heartbreak. Anamika’s businesses didn’t stay stagnant. With Emma running the business and giving Asher reports, coupled with the loyal employees, the company continued to strive and the shareholders’ racing hearts slowly calmed down. Quinn July had spoken to his family about what Lisa did to Anamika and the family came to a decision to call off the wedding, but because Lord Ash’s case was still trending, they decided not to publicize the matter of the wedding yet. Lucian had been visiting the court room ever since he was arrested as Lord Ash. All evidence pointed at him. His last hearing would b
Maybe if she had known that most of the family members had been having sleepless nights because of her, praying that she sends a message of repentance to the family, she wouldn’t have thought that they’d stopped liking her. Lisa couldn’t kneel anymore, so she fell to the side and just lay down. Faking fainting was out of the equation, because she had actually fainted a few times but each time, she was awakened by cold splash of water on her. “Cruel family… I hate you brother… I said I’m sorry…” she started crying again in her weak voice. “Are you telling lies in front of your ancestors?” Lisa froze for a long time. Was she imagining it? She had heard this voice in her head more than she could remember. This is another imagination, right? Despite what she thought it was, she hoped that it was real. She wanted it to be real! She wished that when she looked back at the entrance, she would see him standing there! Lisa slowly turned herself over on the floor and cried out when she sa
“No, brother. It was not a poison that would kill her. It was supposed to make her lose focus, like a hypnotism that would get her to reject Asher. I swear to our ancestors, I didn’t intend to harm Anamika at all.” “But the drink had poison in it, Lisa. It was a deadly poison. Had Anamika drank it, she would have died!” Lisa’s brows knitted in a frown. The scene of her obtaining the small bottle played in her mind. She got the bottle from Taylor and tried it on her beloved cat, Mimi to make sure it wouldn’t kill anyone. “I’m sure, brother. You can test Mimi, I’m sure the drug would still be in her system. I tried it on her before I put a dose in Anamika’s drink.” Quinn July frowned. When he watched the CCTV footage of the club house, he saw when Lisa and Anna asked the guards to throw the drinks away. Another CCTV camera captured when the guard flung the drinks into the bin, but some got on the floor. A few moments later, a dog came around the trash can. The dog died after it’s t
Just as Lisa promised, after she got better, she held a press conference and owned up to her mistakes, then apologized to everyone. Some people forgave her but some didn’t and her clean reputation got a dent. The Quinn Cooperation lost some partnership and shares went low. Not because the shareholders or business partners cared about justice for Anamika, but because the company was getting back lashes on the internet and some of their products were getting boycotted. If people didn’t know of Anamika’s influence in the world before now, with this matter, they got to realize that owners of excellent skincare brands should never be messed with. One of the hundreds of thousands of people in the world who didn’t forgive Lisa was Anamika’s dearest Emma. … Rose City… A beautiful penthouse sat in the heart of the bustling city. In its enormous and sumptuous sitting room that allowed a dazzling view of the gorgeous city and landscape, Emma was seen pacing back and forth, explaining somethi
“Ahhh!!!” an agonizing wail tore through her throat. At the same time, she felt a hand wrapped her legs and lifted her into the air. Everything happened so fast that even when Quinn July acted in mere seconds, the misfortune still happened. Emma didn’t care to know why she was leaving the kitchen but wasn’t doing so with her legs. The trauma from the uninvited thunder that came without the appearance of its counterpart– rain, was still coursing through her veins, even though the pain from the injury on her foot was gnawing under her skin. Setting her on the dining table, he asked calmly, though the anxiety in his voice couldn’t be hidden. “Do you have a first aid kit?” “Yes, in the kitchen,” she replied with gritted teeth and pointed at the open kitchen. Quinn went into the kitchen and returned with a kit. Looking at the bleeding foot that has a long shard lurched into it, he pursed his lips. “The wound is deep,” he mumbled. Pulling it out would hurt more than it already was. Emm
