Conall tilted her head back then lifted her chin. He pinched her nose closed. Taking a normal breath he covered her mouth with his... Applying chest compressions as she still didn't move, his eyes darted around the surroundings as if looking for someone who could help but unfortunately, there was nobody else present there.And he had no idea where he kept his phone at that time. "Miss Miller." He called out, touching her cheeks softly when his eyes were impatiently waiting to see her open her eyes. After some more tries, she finally came back to her senses. Coughing out the water that she gulped earlier, Irene struggled to breathe. That sudden fear of dying almost got her, Conall helped her sit and she rested her head against his chest. "Take some deep breaths." He instructed in a gentle voice.'I almost died... ' when she was taking deep breaths, suddenly she focused on hearing the loud thud near her ears. Feeling her head touched against something hard, as she looked up she saw h
Sending a message to Luxury, Irene kept looking outside from the car window. She smiled as a cool breeze touched the warmth of her cheeks. Last time she left this city had taken away so much from her and she didn't know that she would even survive. If not for someone to save her at the right time...Irene let her arm out of the window, feeling the breeze she closed her eyes.'I've spent half of my life in this city but it only took things away and never gave back. Goodbye forever, I'll never ever come back here again.'The kids were also sadly looking at the outside and thinking if there was any way they could stop their departure. Seeing their mommy's face they could tell that if they were to tell her that they wanted to stay in the city then she would have questions and at the end, she would manage to let them agree to go back so they didn't want to try at all.Heaving a sigh, Ellaine closed her eyes and crossing her both hands, she prayed wholeheartedly, "Please, God. Let Mr. Angel
° A week later °A week has passed in the blink of an eye, Irene didn't dare to think of leaving the city after that day. And it didn't happen to worry her about why he made a ruckus in the airport that night. At the same time, she did not meet Conall nor did she get out of the house at all, but always spending time with the kids.Seeing Irene sitting on the windowsill, Rowan strolled to her. He sat next to her and asked, "Mommy, is everything alright?""Yes, baby. Everything is alright." Irene answered with a half-hearted smile. "But why do you ask?""You seem lost for some reason so I thought... Mommy, if there's anything bothering you then please tell me, I will make things right for you."Hearing him she couldn't help but laugh. Giving a kiss on his forehead she nodded her head, "My strong warrior, you are a grown up boy now huh! Mommy is happy that Win is a good boy.""Yes I am Mommy's good boy.""Come here." Taking him on her lap Irene hugged him tight. Finally she could relax,
As the truck was nearing faster than the wind, Sam sped up. Just before it could hit the car, he steered the car towards the right carefully. The chasers couldn't follow them at a close distance since Sam drove at a faster speed than them. "That was a quick call!" Owen cried out, wiping off the beads of sweat that appeared on his forehead.Sam looked at the chasers through the side mirror and remarked, "Boss, Mr. Davis. Please put on your seatbelt and be alert. I'm going full speed, let's hope we can take them down."The road was strangely deserted as if everyone went to spend a vacation. Though the truck was gone off the chart, those motorbikers kept their chasing continued. Suddenly one of them shot towards their car and Owen screamed loudly on top of his lungs. "Mr. Hudson, if it keeps going on we will all be dead. How about I call Max...""Sam, focus on driving. Owen, shut up!""Yes."Another gunshot echoed in the desolate road, this time Owen noticed that those two were having
In a spacious empty room where everywhere you could look at was dark, not even a single living being could be seen so far except for a small boy around 6 to 7 years old who was hiding at a corner in the room. With his hands and legs tied behind, brushes on his knees and hands he was sobbing in pain. Crying out loud, he screamed weeping, "Please let me go! Someone save me! I want to see Mummy." With every scream, his voice trembled. But oddly, every word he uttered came back to him at a double pace. And as those words echoed against the wall he moved backwards, dragging himself in much more fear. Knowing that nobody was there he couldn't help but be hopeless. The little boy once again tried to remove the blindfold over his eyes, he also tried to untie his hands and legs but no matter what he could not do anything at all. In his situation he could rarely move and because of the pain in his hand and legs he was more like a sick person. "Please let me go! I promise I will not say a si
In a hurry, Conall rushed out of the car as soon as it stopped in front of the luxurious villa that was situated in the north-east of the city. Once this villa used to look as magistic as it looked now, but sadly, it lost it's liveliness. After that incident with his parents, Conall stopped coming to this place. Only to visit Zoe sometimes, did he put his feet here again.Conall furrowed his eyebrows as he thought about Zoe. His face was full of worries and he looked a little pale. His rushed footsteps echoed in the long hallway as he walked faster towards the living room. "Grandma, how are..." Speechless at the scene placed in front of him, Conall stopped on his feet as he was surprised. His grandmother who was told to be very sick and bedridden was doing just fine, from nowhere did she look sick. In nice clothes with her hair done by professionals, Zoe was talking to some guests while keeping her elegance. The moment she saw Conall, she was taken aback... As if she saw a ghost.
Getting down the car, Irene checked the given address on her phone. "Are you Miss Miller?" One of the staff from the restaurant walked to her. "Yes." Irene didn't think much as she answered. "Please come with me." Irene followed the staff as quietly as a mouse. Though she had a straight face, she was observant of the surrounding and especially the staff who came to pick her up.Stopping near a table the staff looked at her and added, "Please wait here." And she was gone in a second. Irene took a seat on the chair, quietly checking her phone. When she was into her phone, a handsome man as tall as a tree walked towards the table. The man took a seat on her opposite and she looked at him. Tall, well-proportioned man of fine physique, though he was not as handsome as Conall but he could be mistaken for a model. It didn't take long for Irene to understand who he was. Oliver Hudson, the only one to whom Conall was like a Bane. Instead of going through the basic introduction, Oliver eye
Heading out of the elevator, Irene was flabbergasted at the scene. MacMillan along with his mates were waiting in line, to welcome her. "Hello, Miss Miller.""... Hello.""Please, this way." Irene felt somewhat weird, the way they were treating her didn't give her any good feeling. It was as if Conall was buttering her up. Unlike the past, they were rather treating her like an important guest now? Wow! Entering his office Irene watched him working on the computer. That highly egoistic face of his looked slightly narrowed to her. Irene let out a sigh and voiced, "Mr. Hudson, you wanted to see me.""Please take a seat."Taking his suit off, he casually walked to the sofa. After settling on the sofa opposite of her, he gestured at his men for them to leave. "I'll get to the point. I want you to work for me again.""S-sorry?" Unable to understand what he was trying to say she asked in confusion. There was no way he wanted her to work for him again, right? Conall pulled the sleeve of
"1, 2 and... 3."As Irene threw the flower bouquet towards the crowd, all the men and women ran to grab it. Surprisingly, Luxury picked it up and the crowd cheered for her.In the happy moment, Irene was watching how everyone was so happy. Her dream to have a fulfilled family finally became true.Irene was about to walk to Conall who was talking to his friends when suddenly a familiar face came to her view. Upon seeing her, the person quickly ran away."Babe, where are you going?""I'll be back soon.""Is everything alright?""Yes."Irene ran after the person, the faster the person ran the more Irene wanted to see who it was. For a moment, she thought she was hallucinating. Why would the person who hated her would attend her wedding?"Mrs. Thompson." Stopping at a point, Irene called out loudly and the person with a mark stopped. "If you came to see the bride's face, you should give her the blessings as well. Don't you know the traditions?"Hearing her, Alora turned to her direction.
• A week later •"There's only an hour left till the wedding starts. Mr. Hudson." Conall tossed his phone on the seat and sped up the car. If not for the sudden business urgency, he would have been in the wedding venue by now but... Ring!As his phone, Conall took a look at the front way then he leaned to get his phone. Boom! There, Irene moved back and forth anxiously. In a princess wedding dress, and with all the makeup and hairstyle, she looked like a princess.Checking the timing in her phone, she bit her lips then dialled Conall's phone number for the 16th time but she couldn't contact him at all.'It has been so long since the last time I talked to Conall, he said he would be here before the wedding starts but only fifteen minutes left till the wedding starts, he is nowhere to be seen. Far more, I can't contact him.'"Miss Miller." Luxury hung up the phone and hurriedly ran to her. "Did you contact Conall? Where is he?""Uhmm..."Seeing her pale reaction, Irene touched her
"Good morning, Miss Miller." Seeing Irene come out of the kitchen, Luxury greeted her. Irene put down the plate of fruits as she saw her. Noticing the file in her hand, Irene asked, "Good morning, why are you here? Is something wrong at work?""Ahh, no. I came here because Mr..." Just when she was about to answer her, Conall appeared there. "I have told Miss Martin to come, I've something important to talk to her." Conall added, walking to the ladies.Hearing him, Irene looked at him in confusion. She knew Conall didn't know Luxury so there was no way they were working together on something or maybe they did but she didn't know? But if that really happened then he would have told her about this, in fact Luxury wouldn't hide things from her, right?But that was not the thing which concerned her though, rather the file Luxury was carrying pulled all her attention."Wait, what's wrong? Did you find a solution for Mr. Desmond's case?" Irene questioned, sounding a little excited."It's n
"You know he is dangerous, what if he reveals your secret? No, no. I can't...""Shhh! Calm down. Just calm down, will you?" Pulling her in a hug, Conall tried calming her down. Irene told him everything Luca, and after knowing it all, he didn't seem to even bother."Conall, he is not as simple as he looks. He is really really dangerous, trust...""Shhh! Just take a deep breath first, then I have something to say to you."Irene wiped her years of and asked, "What is it?""Do you want to marry me? Do you want to spend the rest of your life with me?""But Mr. D..." Interrupting her, Conall held her hand and looked into her eyes, "Shh! Just answer me, I want to know your answer.""I do."Smiling lovingly, as he showed her his phone she was surprised. "Wait when did you...""When you were telling me about Luca Desmond.""So your men are already working on this?"Conall pulled her close, having her rest her head on his shoulder he kissed her forehead, "Yes, so don't worry. You just need to
"You know there are many beautiful places we can go to. There's k..."When Conall was excitedly describing about places to Irene, she kept looking at him from the distance. The words Mr. Desmond told her kept playing in her head over and over again, and everytime she remembered it, her fear of losing him got her bad. 'I know Conall can't be touched, he is more powerful than Mr. Desmond. But he has enemies and he has secrets that can ruin him... Far more, he raised me so if he wants, he can ruin me faster than I can even imagine.'As Conall touched her shoulder suddenly, Irene was taken aback. "What are you thinking of? Is it me in a wedding suit or us in wedding dresses?""Ahh yes. I'm fine..." She didn't smile at him at all, though his smile made her feel a little better but she was so worried. She knew Luca looked fine but at times, he could be very dangerous. Far more, Irene was the CEO of Desmond I. O. in name, the real one was Luca. He was still the sole owner of the company th
"I don't wanna stay like a guest. Let me work as well..." As Irene picked up the knife, Conall held a cherry in his mouth. He approached from the behind, grabbing her waist he turned her around and feed her the cherry. "You!" "Have some sweet."Irene wanted to leave but when she went outside, she found out that Conall took her to an island from where she wouldn't be able to leave by herself even if she would want to. Having no choice, she stayed with him. But so far, he didn't let her do anything with her hand. Even when she said she was hungry, he decided to cook by himself instead of letting the chef do it. "Have a seat, I will be done soon." Conall took her in his arms and then he put her on the counter. "Wait, I want to help."Conall watched her making a cute face as he walked to the kitchen. While he was putting on the apron she kept looking at him. Suddenly he took it off and uttered, "Since you don't wanna stay like a guest, how about you help me put this on?"'He just put
"I wished this before, I wished that she would break up with him and come back to me.""It's dangerous, get down..."Suddenly he jumped down, and hugged Maria, she was taken aback. "I know I am a bit selfish but I couldn't help. My love for her never died, it was always one-sided and even though I had a chance to make it both sided I... I have ruined it all with my own hand. But when I heard that she broke up with him nor does she love him... My mind was so... You know I was just so happy. So damn much happy! Haha." Those words echoed in her ears again and again, Maria felt uncomfortable for some reason. "Mr. Wilson, let go."Alvin let her go and looked at her pie-eyed. He touched her face and smiled foolishly, "I will marry her, Mary. I will... Right now, I'm just on seventh heaven."Maria felt bad somewhere in her chest, it hurted so bad that she couldn't say anything. Since the day she met him, she didn't think of him as someone special but now... She had a different opinion. "D
"Thank you." Alvin voiced, smiling at her. Giving a cup of coffee to Alvin, Irene took a seat opposite of him. She didn't look so good though, her face full of sadness and compassion."Are you alright?""Yeah, thanks for asking. Alvin." She gave him a small smile as she grabbed a cup of coffee as well. For a few moments, silence took place in the living room. Since he came to see her, he didn't see her smiling wholeheartedly at all. Alvin put down the cup on the table and crossing his chest he looked straightly at her. "Irene.""Yes?""I want to ask you something but I don't know if... If I should ask it or not.""What do you want to ask?"Since he asked for a chance, she didn't hold any grudge against him. So when he wanted to meet her, she agreed on their meet up. With a slight hesitation, he asked, "About Mr. Hudson... Are you planning on really marrying him?"The moment he took his name, Irene remembered how Conall clearly told her on her face that he couldn't marry her. Her ga
"Mr. Hudson, one of our men had found out Miss Miller's whereabouts.""Where is she?" Since she vanished into thin air, Conall had tried every way possible to find her but as if she didn't exist, there was no news of her so far. "Daddy, won't you play with us?" As Rowan called out for him, Conall gave him a small smile from the distance. "Let me take this call first, I'll join you guys once I'm done.""Ok, daddy.""Yes, she was last seen in a cafe with a man at the northern area of the city. It was an hour ago." The voice from the other end of the call came through and Conall furrowed his brows, "Who is he?""We couldn't find it yet, we are still searching for his identity."Conall kept his fists clenched even though he looked calm. "I want to know where she is right now, why did she meet that man and everything about their relationship. Inform me of every details, got that?""Yes, Mr. Hudson."Hanging up the phone, Conall let out a sigh. At least he could relax now since her last lo
