Eduardo just stood transfixed. She's the mother of the young master? She's probably the woman the boss was searching for in Z-City for a few years.

This news came to him like a shock. But then,a faint smile appeared on his lips. He hoped a chemistry would grow between them when all of these are over.

Emily Jason placed the remote down and hissed between gritted teeth. She is not interested in the news anymore. Why wouldn't the various channels find proper news for them rather than feeding them with such news?

"Arianna is too forward. I know she did it deliberately to find a convenient excuse to avoid her engagement to the Keyamo family eldest master" Emily stuttered.

What a smart woman. But no matter how much she pretends to escape her marriage to the rascal, she will eventually get married to him, except she dies.

"What gave her the nerves to try protecting Jace Hudson? Is she stronger than him or does she have the power and influence he has?" Elisa bellowed.

After his second tenure elapsed as a senator, he left Z-City and went for holiday for three years in Spain. His only son was then rounding up his medical school and went to work as a housemaster in X-City. He was through with his program and immediately got hired by the hospital. It was only when Adrian and his wife Jane decided to return to Z-City did Richard resign and came to join them working as a consultant in general medicine at the Hudson's hospital.

    Richard nodded and sat properly. He glared at his parents. They are a family of three but the love that bound them together is stronger than the strongest cord ever. Nothing is going to take place without their collective decision. His parents are definitely going to take a decision or embark on a mission and need to get his consent and opinion. "I have discussed with your mom already and she already supported my idea. I need your consent as well. You are my first family and the most important people in my life" Adrian regarded. "You still haven't told me anything yet. What do you need my opinion on?" Richard asked, already yawning and feeling exhausted from the day's experience and work. "I know Richard. I am intending to run for the office of the prime minister" Adrian broke the news to his son. He glared at Richard, waiting for what his reactions would be. Richard's lips parted and he couldn't help but smiled broadly. He didn't say anything but was happy. H

    "I will interrogate the assassin that was captured. But the police have with them, the other one shot. I hope they get his statement before he dies. But for now, nothing yet" He would so much torture the rascal that he would prefer death to life. He would make him cough out the truth except he is not surnamed Hudson. The two brothers ended their conversation and Jace sighed audibly. He went to take a bath for the third time that night, if perhaps, he would be able to get some sleep. Next morning, before dawn, his bodyguard called him and told him the scoundrel was awake. He got his robe on and used the underground pathway to slide into the basement. His bodyguards surrounded him and the light was turned on. He saw the haggard looking man, his face with patches of dried blood, glaring at him with hostility. No matter what happened, they had sworn the oath of secrecy, he would rather die than expose the identity of their clients. Nothing on earth is going to make

    "You fucked his girlfriend and got her pregnant. He was taking revenge on you" he blurted amidst pain. He was sighing in pain and the thoughts of going through the same pain for another three times sent a cold shiver down his spine. Arianna! Jace's mind went to her. She was someone else's woman and he slept with her and got her pregnant with Eli. So that is it. Perhaps he was right to be suspicious of her then. "Who is he?" Jace demanded. Already feeling disappointed about Arianna. He asked her the day he met her in his office and she said she has no boyfriend,no fiance and is not married. So she was someone else's woman after all. He needs to know more about her and perhaps shouldn't think she's really innocent as he now thought. The assassin was quiet, he wouldn't say anything else. He was frolicking with someone else's woman and expected not to get murdered? "Since he doesn't want to say who the fellow's name is, continue with the bloody surgery. And when yo

  • One Night With Mr Billionaire    Just Die, Arianna

    Richard wanted to look away and just nod his head. When had he become a buddy to Jace Hudson? But he couldn't, his eyes met with Jace's and the broad smile he had on was contagious. Richard chuckled and smiled back. "Good morning CEO Jace"he said and their eyes lingered on each other more. Jace walked further into the room as he cast a glance on Arianna. She was still unconscious and he hoped she would come back to consciousness soon. "Good morning, bro" Chase chimed, going over to his brother and giving him a hug. He is so happy to see Jace, better looking than the previous day. He seemed to put the emotional breakdown of the previous day behind and embrace a new dawn with great expectations. Jace went over and hugged Richard. The latter initially was reluctant but then,he respected Jace for taking the first initiative. They hugged each other and Richard said "I'm sorry, CEO Jace, about yesterday" "It's alright, it's in the past now" he said and passed ano

    Richard's voice was frosty but his facial expression was cool. His eyes were glancing at the Defibrillators. It was restoring Arianna's heart beat to normal and his lips hived up for a smile. "Richard" Genesis called him. She was unhappy with the way he was handling things. Sheet wanted to go forward, but her wrist was gripped by a soft but firm hand. Genesis was shocked. She glanced at her hand being grabbed by Jace and glanced at him. She was shocked when she saw Jace's countenance. His eyes were red and there were tears in his eyes. But he was holding back. He suddenly realised he was holding Genesis. He let go of her hand and sniffled "sorry, but don't distract Richard" Genesis just nodded like a zombie. Was she hallucinating? CEO Jace Hudson, having teary eyes? Oh her life, she wants to wake up, perhaps she is dreaming. Soon, the doctors left and Richard sighed softly. Arianna's heart beat has returned to normal. But beyond that, it showed that she was g

    Jace paused. He didn't say anything but Eduardo knows he has to say something. "James Maslow," Eduardo announced. Jace's eyes turned dark. He glared at Eduardo with an icy state. What, Maslow guy? How come, he is the man he went to sign a deal with at the hotel before stepping out into pandemonium and Arianna ending up in the hospital. "James Maslow?" Jace asked. This is really difficult. Isn't he related to Clara? At least that's what he's always believed they are to each other. "Yes, Your dear Clara's cousin" Eduardo smirked. He saw the looks on the boss' gaze. He also felt that way, a while ago. But he gradually overcame the shock and brought him a report. Jace didn't say anything else. He got into the elevator and left. He needed to attend to more important things. Then he would come back to deal with that bastard. Clara had fooled him all the while they were together? She always refers to him as her cousin, her maternal cousin and he never doubted her, beca

    When Jace stepped out again, he glanced at Arianna and said "I'll check on you tomorrow" he said and said goodnight to Genesis. When the door shut behind Jace, Arianna sighed. She asked where her phone was. That was when Genesis remembered that her phone was in Jace's car. "It's in Jace's car,"Genesis said. Arianna frowned "what is my phone doing in his car?" She asked, feeling furious. He once got her phone and scrolled through it, looking for the contact info of the person who sent her after him. "After you were shot, your bag was placed in his car as he tried getting you to the hospital…" Genesis was saying when Arianna interrupted him. "And after, you couldn't get it out of his car? I want my bag and everything that is inside must be complete" She declared. "He shouldn't have gone far. I will go after him and get it" Richard said and walked out. By the time Richard gets outside, Jace is gone. He called him and said Arianna's phone was in his car. Jace

    When the couple alighted, Chase held Rosalinda's hand, intertwining his fingers ders with hers. They drew closer, and a few securities walked over to their boss. When Chase walked over he turned and glared at the securities in hostility "the next time you opened that gate to some unwanted guests, your job in this house is ended!" He thundered. "We are not unwanted guests Mr Hudson. We are law enforcement agencies with a search warrant…" One of the police officers was saying when Chase snapped at him. "If you have a search warrant, do you also have a gate pass?" He asked, his usual arrogant personality taking over the calmness he portrayed at the orphanage. For a few seconds, none could say a word until the man next to Amanda Smith introduced himself "I am Barr. Clifford,Miss Amanda Smith's lawyer" he said, dissipating the awkwardness in the air. "We have a search warrant from the head office to search your mansion for Miss Bella Smith, a girl you adopted fr

    How dare he say she needs the advice the most when he was the one who hurt her and rejected the baby? How can he refer to himself as Bella's father after ordering her to have an abortion back then. If she had gone ahead, she would have flushed Bella away. Now, he brought his face before her and said he is Bella's father? She's not afraid of him anymore. What she wants is her daughter and nothing else. "Amanda, I know that you are hurt. I also know that I made you hurt. But please, I'm begging you let's talk about our daughter please" Chase pleaded. "Yes, Miss Amanda. Just give him a chance and talk to him. This mother is pleading with you as a mother, listen to Chase" Rosalinda coaxed. "I don't have anything to talk to him about. You wanted me to have an abortion back then. You paid for it and told me not to come before you again. And I didn't, I never came to find you ever again. And today you call yourself my daughter's father? How is that possible?

  • One Night With Mr Billionaire    An unexpected turn

    The both of them stared at each other in shock. Chase remembered the dream. Everything played fresh in his memory and he was afraid of the rest of the dream becoming a reality. Amanda Smith glared at him. She was thinking about him without knowing he was standing next to her. What is going on here? She remembered the past. How she was involved with Chase and became pregnant. How he urged and persuaded her for an abortion. He transferred a large sum of money into her account and told her not to come before him again or return someday with some damn baby to blackmail him. He is a Hudson. A billionaire and has power. But she's a nobody. She had to hide away and carried her baby in her belly and gave birth to her without his knowledge. She doesn't have the ability or the name to fight him. Now, after a few years she met with him again. But she hopes he's not the man who adopted her daughter? From the words of the matron, she hopes her daughter hasn't found h

    Chase kept his gaze on her confused facial expression. He chuckled softly and said "No. She's my daughter by adoption. And now, the orphanage wants to see me along with her" Rosalinda shook her head in disapproval. She'd always thought she's his daughter for real, that is, by blood connection. And she didn't bother asking him about the girl's Mom. And the resemblance, how come about it then? She takes after Chase 50% in appearance. Her eyes looked a lot like Eli and his dad. "But Bella looks like you and your family…" Rosalinda interjected. This is unbelievable. If Chase hadn't told her himself, she wouldn't have believed it if someone else told her. "It's a coincidence. We're not related by blood" Chase replied, smiling. Somehow the girl looks like the Hudson's. That's one other reason he insisted he would adopt her. She would fit perfectly into the family. "Are you sure none of your ex…"Rosalinda trailed off. It's enough. If Chase said she's his daughter by

    The matron nodded and smiled. The only kid in the orphanage that goes by the name Bella was the one adopted a few months ago. "Can we get the information about your daughter and the legal documentation you signed? Amanda smiled and brought out all the necessary documents and placed them before the matron. After glancing over it and comparing it with the copies in the orphanage. She realised that it's her daughter indeed that has been given off in adoption. "We waited for you for many years. Other parents returned to get their kids and many were adopted except Bella…"the matron trailed off. They couldn't reach her. She changed her address and her contacts were forever switched off. Since there was no information about her, they couldn't inform her that her daughter had been adopted. "I'm sorry about that ma'am. Life was unfair to me so I decided to go away for a few years. But I'm back now. I have a job and I've returned to fetch my daughter" Amanda Smith

    Jace couldn't curtail the excitement surging in him. Arianna is pregnant again, it only means he's eventually going to be a father again. "Thank you" Jace chimed. He smiled broadly. Richard smiled too. He can't wait for the day when he will also receive such good news as an expectant father. "Watch her diet Jace, if you can. Especially the intake of alcohol is not good for the baby" Richard advised. "Yeah, sure" Jace nodded. He glanced at the direction where the ladies went and felt like going after her and hugging her affectionately. She's carrying his child, Eli will have his request granted in a couple of months. They had hardly finished the party when Jace had Arianna come upstairs. There's a kind of excitement in him that she hasn't seen before. He almost was going to spoon-feed her. This deep expression of love, she doesn't know what she'd done to deserve it. Anyways she accompanied him. "You'll have to do a test. I bought five different brands

    Her heartbeat almost skipped. She stood gazing at the two people she least expected to come and see her. Is she dreaming or hallucinating? She blinked her eyes and opened them again, but they remained at the same spot, smiling broadly at her. She turned and glanced at Chase,the latter shrugged. Chase went to see them, is that why she didn't wake up to find him next to her? She swallowed hard and wanted to say something but her words choked in her throat. Chase has impressed her over and over with his ability to reconcile people together. "Congratulations baby" Pricillia Black was the first to make an utterance. She opened her arms and walked towards Rosalinda. The latter mumbled "mummy" and her eyes went cloudy with tears. She got into her mom's arms and hugged her. Her tears gave way and for some seconds, they both couldn't say anything but remained in each other's arms. "Mummy,I missed you," Rosalinda confessed. She sniffled and swallowed hard. Her mom's t

    "... I'm sorry . I know I have been stupid in the past. I trespassed. I bruised your ego and I said demeaning words to you, but I sincerely apologise to you and I seek nothing but your forgiveness. Even if you don't want to forgive me, for your daughter's sake, forgive me. Rosalinda is broken and unhappy. For the rest of yesterday, she's sobbing secretly. Do you want your daughter to be unhappy? No mother or brother ever wishes so for their daughter and sister. I humbly request you to forgive me for her sake. Rosalinda loves me a lot. She hadn't stop loving me for once. I fell in love with her after she miscarried my baby. I swear that I regretted my actions. I tried to apologise, but you both didn't give me a chance. I am a different person now. I love your daughter more than anything else in this world. Please give us your blessings, dear mother inlaw…" Chase pleaded. Pricillia Black was speechless.

    She had been unexceptionally quiet all the way from the registry. After her encounter with her family, her excitement went down and she had only been forcing herself to appear happy. But Chase wouldn't forfeit the pleasure of his wedding night simply because the bride wasn't looking cheerful. He has to take his conjugal right. Rosalinda was not giving him the expected cooperation. She wasn't in the slightest mood or interested to consummate her wedding. If Chase can just spare her that night. Before the next day, she would have been able to put her emotions together and willingly give herself to him. And she cannot tell Chase about it. And the latter refused to interpret the attitude she was giving him. Chase just doesn't want to understand at all. "What's happening Rosa? Don't you want me to make love to you?" Chase asked, feeling annoyed already. He had to undress her and despite that, she was stiffening her body. He suspected that she doesn't want to cons
