Getting to the apartment, Max saw Olive looking so dejected. Olive is someone who always wants to look good no matter her situation. Seeing her look this way was weird even for me. "Ok get up, what the hell happened here," I asked, lifting her off the ground. "King was here just now," Olive answered. "What!" He yelled, dropping her back to the ground in shock. "You mean King was here? And you made me come upstairs right after he left?" Max yelled " What if he saw me? Are you out of your mind?" He yelled again at her. Olive tried to get herself together but she couldn't, everything she worked hard for could crumble before her eyes if Mr. King takes action and reveal the evidence he has against her. "I will be done for if he decides to reveal it," Olive said looking at Max. "You have to help me, Mark, I can't go to jail" Olive held onto Max's hands. "What exactly did you do six years ago that makes you so scared of King" Max was curious he wanted to know. Olive stared at him
Olive came back to the living room with a bottle of expensive wine and two glasses. “Why do you have wine in your bedroom,” Max asked looking super confused. Olive smiled at him, sat next to him, and handed the wine bottle to him. “It’s a freaking expensive wine, it has to be treated as such” She smiled and stretched her glass to him. Max poured out the wine and poured out a little for himself as well. “Oh I get why it’s freaking expensive, it’s damn good “Max raised the glass and cheered . “Ok back to business, how close are you to becoming a major shareholder,” Olive asked. “I just need Mr. James’ signature and we are good but that man is the major problem, he is so devoted to Mr. King that no matter what I do or offer him he still makes his stand clear” Max signed “If you can’t get through him, you go over him,” Olive said with a smile. Max looked at her for a while and suddenly he smiled at her and they both smiled. He picked up his phone and made a phone call. “Get me
“Someone sent another mail,” Mark said showing the mail to Mr. KingFor the past month, anonymous has sent us five emails and to our greatest surprise these emails are all against Max and Olive.I could not wrap my head around who could send the emails but that was the least of my concern right now.It’s Sal’s death anniversary, which made it seven years since we lost Sal and seven years since I left home.I could not focus on any of the information the guys were detailing.I got up, picked up my car keys, and dashed out of the house without looking back.“Hey Boss where are you going, we still have a lot to look into” Mark called out to Mr. King“Leave him be, he acts this way around his time of the month every year, it’s as though he is mourning someone dear to his heart” The housekeeper who has been serving Mr. King since he moved in on his own explained to the rest of the team who has been worried sick about Mr. King who has been acting worried sick all day.I went to the beach to
Waking up next to Mr. King was something I didn’t imagine happening so soon.Last night was one of the best nights in a very long time.Mr. King and I had so much, I was worried about what was bothering him but as long as he was happy I was fine with it and I will be right here when he ever he feels comfortable telling me.“Good morning Darling,” he said placing me on his chest and I could feel his muscled arm wrapped around me.Mr. King is the king of cuddles, sometimes I feel he takes a special class on how to cuddle.I could feel his steady heartbeats and could preserve his morning smell I didn’t want to let go as much as he doesn’t.“Morning,” I said moving closer like I would enter him, which made us both smile.We both felt relief as we were both honest with our feelings at those moments.We were neither shy nor anxious.“Should we spend the rest of the day like this?” He said looking at me without letting go.“Should we?” I asked smiling still fully wrapped under his arm withou
I got up in search of Mr. King, I kept wondering if I went too far."Is he mad?, Did I push him too hard?, What is wrong with me? My mind came up with different questions that I don't have answers toI wandered around the restaurant searching but my mind was clouded and I didn't notice him walking behind me the whole time till he pulled me back."Let's go home," he said with a smile on his face.I was lost."Why is he smiling?" I kept asking myself as I followed him back to the car."Why is he smiling?" I could not get the question out of my head.He kept smiling though deep down he was extremely nervous.I needed to change the mood, it was what I wanted but it felt a too hot and I didn't want to show how desperate I was or how much I crave for him "Let's get some groceries, I miss your morning recipe," I said with a fake, I can't tell if the awkwardness was obvious but the look on his face said it all. We got down at the grocery store to get some stuff and headed back to the car.G
Mr. King's POVWaking up the next morning felt different, she was right next to me sound asleep. I could hear her breathing slowly and it was cute.I got up from the bed, took a shower, and decided to make breakfast. The intention was a breakfast-in-bed surprise but she was up so I decided to call her out for breakfast."I made breakfast, come out when you are ready," I said and she was cut off guard.She was trying to get the robe to cover her naked body when I walked in.I was going to leave her to get ready but I couldn't take my eyes off her. I ran back into the room, hugged her, and gave her sweet kisses.I never thought I could be this sweet, my relationship with Olive was romantic but this felt different.We went back to the kitchen together and she watched me cook. We sat together for breakfast and it was so much, we laughed and talked and I wanted it to last and I am going to wait no more."Would you mind joining us for this weekend's family dinner?" I asked."Are you attendi
A gentleman with dark long hair looked a little rough but his face did justice to that. He was truly handsome with blue eyeballs and silk lashes, quite tall as we raised her heads to get a better look at his face.But matter how hard we looked we didn't seem to recognize him.Georgia pulled me behind and made her way toward him.“Who are you,” she asked.I watched from behind her as she stood firm in front of the good-looking stranger.Mr. King came running to the living room to defend the stranger. As far as I know, his only child and his cousins are not in the country currently.“Who is this stranger and why is my man protecting him,” I asked myself.Mr. King pulled this guy to the couch and gave him a plate of fruit parfait.“Mr. King” Georgia called out as she signaled with her eyes asking who the guy was.He looked at me after she signaled me and I was stunned.“Why is he staring at me, I have no idea who he was” I defended myself with my eyes when Georgia asked me with expressio
MR. KING’S POV“Yes, I called you all here today to let you know something important,” I said looking at Aurora then Mark and Georgia“But first I need to apologize for keeping things from you Mark, I am sorry,” I said with a smile.Mark is an easy person mostly to people he cares so much about. I moved toward him and have him a hug.“I know your worth buddy, you are very important to me not just as a member of the team or company but as a companion and good friend” I whispered loud enough for him to hear and everyone around.I looked at Aurora but she wasn't pleased and she still wasn't looking at me.We went for breakfast and she sat next to Georgia who was 3 seats away from me.Georgia looked at me to ask what was wrong but I didn't know what to say so I overlooked it and continued eating.“Are you still on bad terms, I heard lovers don't go to bed angry especially when they sleep on the same bed?” Jerry said, looking at Aurora and me.“I overheard the argument, I couldn't help it,
Our happily ever after Preparation has began for the wedding ceremony, finally after two years of war and near-death experience they are finally getting married. “I am so happy for you my dear, you are getting married!” Aurora’s mum said excitedly has she hugged her daughter. “I remember the day I was getting married___” “For the hundredth time mum, You’ve said that story like a thousand time now but can just stay my side and comfort me and tell em I am going to be ok and that you love me and that you are proud of me and that____” Aurora could not stop talking and her mum gave her a tight hug. “I am so proud of you, you are going to be okay, King loves you and you are in good hands, go get married my dear, married live is sweet” Her mum said and gave her a peck. “Aunt, The twins won't stop crying” Lilith rushed into Aurora’s room. “Oh, I will take it from there” Aurora’s mum said and rushed out of the room to go check on the twins. “Look at you in white!” Lilith teased and sat
“Woah, I think my account is empty. I can't afford to check how much I have left” Jerry joked as he saw the debit notification dropping on his phone.They all burst into laughter from his joke but soon they all received the same debit and soon they were making a joke of themselves.“I am glad I am not the only one experiencing this debit,” Jerry said, still laughing.“I am glad you decided to ask Georgia to marry you, both of you deserve to be together given what you’ve been through together,” Mr. King said and patted Mark on his shoulder.“I know, I hope she feels the same way” Mark said looking down, he dropped the petals on his hands on the floor and walked slowly to take a seat.Mr. King and Jerry walked toward him and sat next to him in their garden.“After what happened that night, when I was in a coma at the hospital I heard Georgia cry and blame herself for what happened to me that night, every night at the hospital she would cry and pray that I would wake up, do you know she
“Lilith, you have to get ready today for his burial ceremony, I get that you are sad about it, the little time you spent together meant a lot to you but you still have to attend” Jerry comforted Lilith.“I can't believe he is gone, I don't want to believe it” Lilith said in denial.Jerry looked at her and smiled, he pulled her into his arms and rocked.“What about Aurora?” Lilith asked with a worried look on her face.He sighed and nodded his head.“She is with Georgia upstairs,” Jerry replied.“I should go check on her, I am sure she is more hurt than I am” Lilith said and made her way out of the room to check on Aurora.“I’ll come with you” Jerry offered and followed Lilith to Aurora’s room.“Ok” she replied._________“Hey guys!” Lilith said as she opened the door after knocking.She saw Arora sitting in front of her dressing table with a black flowing dress on.Aurora turned around and saw Lilith walk into the room also dressed in black.“You’re here,” Aurora said barely.“Yea, of
“Hey!Hey! Look at me don't do this please I am begging you please!” Tears flowed out of Aurora’s eyes as she saw Mr. King was covered in blood with two bullets one on his right arm and the other in his stomach without an exit point which means the bullet is still stuck inside him, which is bound to cause a lot of internal bleeding.I__I__Lo_ve __you Aurora” Mr. King stuttered as blood kept rushing out of his mouth.A sharp pain from Aurora's head, it was like her head was going to split in two.“Hey!“Hey!“So you brought my mum, dad and Charles?”“Of course u know you miss them”“So can I call you sweet names when we are together?”“Will you marry me King?”“Will you marry me Aurora?”“I love you forever Aurora”“I love you forever King”“No! My love no please don't leave me, I remember___ I remember everything, so please fight my love fight please, I missed you so much” Aurora bawled out still holding on to Mr. King’s hands.Mr. King smiled and tried to place his hands on Aurora’s f
“Don is out of the picture, now let's get down to business shall we?” Max said as he used the gun with him to itch the back of his head.“There is only one way out, Take Aurora and leave and I will help King get to safety,” Olive suggested to Max.They both turned toward Aurora and Mr. King “Make your choice!” they both said in unison.Mr King pulled back Aurora to himself “in your wildest dreams” He said as he held Aurora firmly.“Do you think she will let us go in peace, just take a look at her, can you see the way she is staring at you? She will never let us go alive and you know it!” Aurora blurted out.Max turned to Olive “Do you think I am not aware about that?” Max said with a mysterious smile on his face.Olive gave him a weird look “Well as long as you don't lay a finger on King we're good” Olive said admitting that she did have the thought of killing the both of them.Max turned to her “And so you are saying, if we leave you will let us go without laying a finger on Aurora e
“BREAKING NEWS!”‘The President of JETTING HOLDINGS was said to be kidnapped by Don Gonzales with his accomplices Max Washington and Olive BakerThey were said to be located outside the city and also there has been an accident blocking entrances out of the city, making it difficult for the police or anyone to do anything at the moment.Police officers around the town where Don was said to have placed his hostages have been alerted and are all doing ground checks to find Mr. King, Miss Aurora, Attorney Mark and Georgia, Lilith Washington, and Jerry Smoke.The location was given but the spot was not mentioned in the tip we received from Mr. King before he went out of contact.So if you are out there out of the city in the following location that is displayed on this screen please help us out, helicopters have been dispatched as well.“Hang in there Mr. King we are coming to your rescue” The reporters ended the information.And just as she said in her report on the news, helicopters were
Aurora ran over to Georgia.“Are you alright?” Aurora asked as she searched her but there was no gunshot, not even a scratch on her body.“I’m fine, I'm ok!” Georgia said as she could not also believe that Don did shoot her.They all look at Don with confusion written all over their faces.“What are you doing?” Aurora asked as she was using her body to block Don from firing again if he was going to.Don just stood there like he was lost as well, he had a look of disbelief on his face.“Well, I guess, you are a chicken as well then,” Olive said as she used the gun on her hands to itch the back of her ear.“Nah, I don't miss, I have never missed,” Don said with a smile on his face and he slowly walked back to his corner.Lilith and Aurora looked around Georgia again but there were no bullet holes or whatsoever.“What game are you playing?” Georgia yelled.“Just get this over with Don!” Georgia yelled again.“Ok let me give you a hint, I did fire but where did I fire at or by any chance,
While the argument was going on, Don saw how Olive continued to struggle to set herself free but the rope tied to her chair where so sight she could not set loose no matter how hard she struggles.Don took the opportunity and walked up to Olive, he pulled her away to a separate corner, without anyone noticing due to the chaos between Max, Aurora, Lilith, Georgia and Mark.“Who would you kill if I gave you the gun instead?” Don asked“Aurora and Max, they are the biggest pest of my life,” Olive said without flinching.“But you know I will kill you after you kill them right?” Don said smiling with his tobacco in his hands.“Well, why don't we strike a deal, I will be you get off the country and help you start your business again in any country you want, I can help you get back everything you’ve lost and when things die down, I will bring you back to the country and by them there will be nothing left for them to do to you, I just need you to help me achieve my goals right now and I will
Max looked around, as he placed his hands on the trigger, he felt chills all over his body.“Why are you resisting?” Don asked as he placed his hands around Max’s neck.“Are you having doubts now that the gun is in your hands?” Don asked as he looked at Mr. King.“I don't have anything against you Mr. King, I just want him to accomplish something before he breathes his last breath and this is the least I can do for him,” Don said and have Mr. King a wink.Max stood looking at Mr King but he could not bring himself to point the gun at him or even fire it.“Oh Come on, Max, are you telling me there is absolutely no one here you would like to kill?” Don said.He took away the gun from him and walked toward Mark “This guy here, do you know how many lawsuits he filed against you, and how many times he help Aurora escape your grip, if it doesn't upset you enough fine, we can forgive him,” He pushed Mark away from the way and went toward Lilith.“What about your little sister, well you never
