"I can't believe Kim did this to me." I said crying. "I have to go." Oliver said as he heard footsteps outside the door. He quickly left, slowly closing the door behind him.I looked at the ceiling and tears tickled in my eyes. I wondered what I ever did to her to make her hate me. I couldn't hurt anyone, I wondered why she hated me so much. I didn't know when I slept off.I opened my eyes and yawned. It felt like I only slept for five minutes. I stared at the ceiling, I managed to look at the time. It was already 9AM.I winced in pain and struggled to escape again when the door swung open and James walked in. "Morning, my princess." He said.He was dressed in a suit and he was holding a bunch of flowers which he dropped on the bed. "Let me go." I replied and shot him an angry look.He continued to stare at me, watching me through his dark eyes. "We're getting married today." He said and I looked at him shocked.My heart raced. He waRelated chapters

Alex's POVI walked into the compound and found James. He pointed a gun to me and I shrieked with fear. "James, put the gun down." I said.He laughed and raised the gun up, he fired a shot in the air and pointed it back at me. "What do you think? Do you really think that I'm scared of you?" He asked."The cops are going to be here any moment soon, I didn't except you to do this." I answered with a frown.He scoffed. "I'm also in love with your girlfriend."With that, I punched him in the face and kicked his legs, he fell down and rolled over to the other side, his gun slipping off his hands.I kicked it away and jumped on him. I gave him the first blow and he pushes me off him. I sprang up and dodged his attacks. "I don't know where Lisa is." He said as we fought."You kidnapped her, you liar." I replied and he ran towards the fence. I tried to run after him but I heard a gunshot.My heart raced, could it be Lisa? I ran with rage into the

Alex's POVI was restless, I tried calling Oliver's phone but it was switched off. "Have you been able to call him?" My mom asked.I shook my head sitting down on the sofa. "His line is switched off.""Why would you guys be so dumb to the extent of trying to rescue a stupid lady who can't defend herself." She said."Don't call her a stupid lady." I replied sharply with a frown.My phone rang and the caller ID showed that it was James calling, I hurriedly picked it up."Where's Lisa?" He asked."I should be asking you that question."He chuckled over the phone. "You have Lisa, why don't you give her back to me?"I scoffed. "She's my future wife and I won't let you hurt her again.He chuckled again. "The cops can't investigate me because they won't find all the evidence." He reminded."I'll look for evidence.""I don't play dirty games, I know what I want and I always get it. I'm a skilled criminal."I threw my ph

Alex's POVI walked into my organization with a smile and everyone scurried to their seats. James walked towards me with a grin on his face. "So are you ready to lose your company?" He asked.I looked at him before looking outside. "I don't think you should talking to me early in the morning." I answeredHe chuckled. "You're still arrogant.""I can't stop being arrogant, I'll fight to the end.""Death is the end," he reminded with a smirk. "Be ready to pay the price just like Lisa because you'll be the next person walking out of this organization."I frowned. "Lisa is dead, don't mention her name." I warned.He laughed and we climbed the stairs together, I didn't want to talk to him. "I wanted to get married to Lisa before Oliver stopped my plans." He said as we reached the corridor."You'll never get married to Lisa." I replied and walked into my office. "The management meeting will commence soon, be ready for your doom." He said from outside.

James's POVI walked into the hotel room that Kim agreed to meet me. I found her on the bed frustrated, I slammed the door behind me and walked towards her. She stood up when she saw me and slapped me.I winced in pain and stepped back. "Kim, what did you do that for?""You're senseless, how could you not know who you signed the deal with?" She asked."I didn't know what to do, should I have pointed a torch at the buyer's face. I don't know where she got the money from." I said as Kim slapped me again."You're so stupid.""I'm better than you who thought you would kill her by burying her alive, what we should find out is who gave her the money to buy the company back.""Isn't that obvious?""What's obvious?" I asked rudely."Oliver rescued her and handed her to his father. She got the money from Alex's father and paid you all the shares, bought the company in Alex's make and you didn't even bother to go through the documents." She said angrily as she pushe

Lisa's POVI shrieked in fear as she screamed. Alex came running towards us. "Mom, what happened?" I asked."Don't call me Mom, I'm not your mother." She answered with a frown and I became embarrassed."Mom, you didn't have to talk to her like that." Alex told her with a frown.His mom laughed. "Can you imagine what she cooked?"Alex stared into the plates and looked at her. "Mom, she doesn't know. It's not her fault.""She prepared noodles for me in my own house, I'm sure people sent her to poison me." She said loudly as I stared at the two of them confused."I don't understand." I was forced to ask them what was going on.A smile plastered on her face. "She's just being dramatic, she doesn't eat noodles. You don't have to worry, I'll prepare something for her to eat."His mother pushed him and walked towards me, she dragged me towards the kitchen. "Don't you know how to cook?" She asked and the kitchen door flung open.Alex walked in. "Mom,

Alex's POV"You don't have to fear." I told her to dump the eatery's nylon in the bin."How are you so very confident?" She asked."I guess I inherited that from my dad." He answered.She frowned. "I haven't even met your dad.""You can open the door now." I answered and she opened the door immediately. Mom walked in with a frown."I thought you guys were making children. I love your food." My mom said and sniffed the air.Lisa giggled excitedly as she tasted the food. "it's nice but I'm surprised.""What Mom?" I asked, concerned."How did you manage to cook this meal within thirty minutes. I can't possibly prepare a delicious dish within thirty minutes." She answered."Some are talented and some are not." Lisa said and I chuckled.My mom dragged her ear and squeezed it lightly. "Are you insulting me, woman?" She asked and I laughed.A knock was heard on the door. "I'll go get it." Lisa said and walked out of the kitchen."I shouldn't lie

Lisa's POVI looked at Alex, he couldn't even say a word. He was very chuckled. I looked at the food and forced a smile."Yes, it's my traditional dish and it has many names, I don't know the name Alex told you but I call this meal, Rich carrot soup with rice." I answered.She smiled. "Rich? I didn't expect it to be poor, I enjoyed your noodles more and Alex called the dish, carrot pepper soup with mashed rice." She said and I laughed.I just couldn't stop myself from laughing, he called the food pepper soup. "Why are you laughing?" Alex asked, embarrassed."I'm sorry," I replied still laughing as we climbed the stairs. I opened his bedroom door and walked in. "It's just that the name sounds funny." I replied and laid on his bed.He frowned and locked the door. "At least, I saved you from my mother's disturbance. Aren't you going to eat tonight?I faked a smile. "I'm not hungry, your mother ruined my day." I replied as he sat down on the bed."I love you, Lis

Lisa's POVNext Morning.I and Alex stayed in the visiting room while the cops brought Oliver. He looked lean already and I felt pity for him. "We've gotten you out of here, you're free to go." I told him."I don't want to go."His words took me aback, I was shocked. "Why?" Alex asked, also shocked."I just don't want to go." He answered, adamant.I shook my head and squeezed his hands gently. "I'm not leaving here without you.""You should go, Kim and James next target is the both of you and I'm planning on working with them to save you." He explained.I frowned. "I'm not going to let you work for those bastards to save us, we're safe already." I said. "Living in fear is safe? Isn't it?" He ventured, cautiously.I looked at Alex unable to answer him. "Mom's having her blood pressure rise, she needs you. When she heard the news, she was demoralized." Alex lied and I looked at OliverHis face showed concern for his mother. "Where is she now?" H

THREE YEARS LATERLisa's POVThe house was dark when I walked in and I wondered what was going on. I couldn't even think straight because of my pregnancy. My husband would call it pregnancy hormones but this was different.My heart skipped a beat as soon as the light was switched on and I found Alex staring at me seductively with a cake on his hand. "Happy birthday, wifey." He muttered.My birthday? Wait, how could I forget my birthday. "Believe me, I didn't even know today's my birthday." I said as he placed the cake on the table."Pregnancy hormones!" He mocked jokingly."So what did the doctor say?" I inquired.He grinned in reply. "He said you're close to giving birth." He answered and walked towards me.He removed my clothes and I could feel my body shivering with fear. "What about the baby?" I asked as he also undressed."This is the best birthday gift ever." He answered with a smirk.I closed my eyes as my naked body touched him, arching my

Alex's POVLisa was my girlfriend and we had planned to get married before I got attacked in the restroom of that restaurant by Kim's men.The memories came back to me easily and I could recall everything that happened.I jumped into the pool to save her and found the engagement ring on her body. I held her and brought her out of the pool.I waited for a second to catch my breath before looking at her. I checked her breath to check if she was breathing. She wasn't, I felt my heart beat increase rapidly.Gently, I tilted her head back and used one hand to hold her chin and lift it up, I kept her mouth open using my thumb.I placed my other hand on her forehead and pinched her nose with my index finger and thumb.I silently hoped it worked so we could be together again. I didn't want to lose her, I wanted her to live a normal life with me.Taking a normal breath, I covered and sealed her open mouth with mine, and blew into her mouth for ab

James's POVDaniel stopped as soon as we climbed out of the tunnel. It was not an easy way of escaping jail but I was still excited because I escaped. I could now revenge and make Lisa and Alex pay for their sins."You're excited, huh?" Daniel asked as we walked into the forest."I'm really excited because I know that I'm now free and I don't have to do anything other than killing my enemies." I answered.He stopped by a stream and drank water. "Heard that it makes the body stronger and bigger."I let out a loud laugh. "I'm sure you know that you're totally wrong. Drinking untreated water such as bore water, river water or spring water can lead to illnesses such as gastroenteritis and diarrhoea."

Lisa's POVThe stars were bright and I was already ready for the party in my pink gown with different colour stripes which made me look elegant. Alex had just left the room and I was already feeling sober.I just couldn't wait for him to recall the times we spent together and had fun. I couldn't wait for him to remember that he wanted to marry me before he lost his memory and totally forgot me.My heart was hurt and I was also hurt, I wondered why I couldn't do anything to make him remember that I was his wife. Why couldn't I do something that would make him recall our love? I loved him so much and losing him was not an option.I couldn't do without him even though I tried to pretend that we were just friends. Tears filled my eyes as I remembered the fantastic and funny moments we shared even though it was short, it was fun and exciting to me.The door opened and Eliza walked in with a cool smile. We didn't really talk earlier because the guys were getting

Alex's POVThe door flung open and Oliver walked in. "Where's my ring?" I asked him quickly and he threw it at me."How did you know it was with me?""Your curiosity exposed you." I answered with a smile.He chuckled. "Amanda is really crazy, she thought I was going to propose to her."I smiled at him and scratched my cheeks. "I bought the ring as a gift for Lisa even though she's engaged."He frowned and slanted me a look. "Engaged?""Yeah, I saw a ring on her finger but she didn't tell me anything about her love life. Is she secretive?" I asked him.Oliver let out a slight chuckle with a grin. "She's not secretive, you'll find out everything soon." He answered happily.I blinked and narrowed my eyes at him. "Really?" I asked her, surprised. "I don't think I even know her, I'm not sure how I feel right now but I'm in love with Lisa and I can't help it."He frowned and sat on my bed. "You're really amazing, Lisa deserves someone like y

Lisa's POVI looked at him, wondering if I should tell you the truth. "I can't tell you. That's for you to find out on your own."He touched his head and sighed. "I don't know, I get these weird images and there's always a lady there. I'm confused."I knew I was the lady but I couldn't do anything, I couldn't keep on hurting myself."You'll figure it out soon." I reassured him with a casual smile.He looked at my hands and pointed to my ring. "That ring! Are you engaged."Tears tickled in my eyes and I nodded. "Yeah, I was supposed to get married before an unfortunate thing happened to me." I explained, trying to hold the tears that wanted to come out of my eyes.He smiled and touched my cheeks. I wondered why he couldn't recall giving me the ring. He was the one who slid the ring through my finger and proposed to me but he couldn't remember."Amanda invited me for a party this evening, will you like to come?" He asked, politely."When did she invite

Lisa's POVWe walked into the cafeteria and occupied a seat at the back. Amanda irritated me with her lousy and naughty attitude."What will you like to have, sir?" The waiter asked Alex as he came to us.Alex looked at Amanda before looking at me. "Lisa, what do you think I should eat?" He asked."I don't know." I answered."You should tell me, I'm interested in whatever you eat." He told me."Don't you care for my opinion?" Amanda asked and touched his cheeks.I almost stood up to slap her, "I don't care." Alex answered bluntly and I chuckled.He was never interested in Alex, I believed that the both of us were soulmates. It was definitely true, we were both connected in a way.I squeezed his hands gently and he looked at me. "You should try Cobb salad.""What's that?" He asked."I'll explain it to you soon," I turned to face the water. "Bring two plates of cobb salad.""Make it three." Amanda said and eyed me.I laughed. "Whatever." I

"You should have had a headache by now, I didn't want to wake you up in the night, I had to sleep on the other sofa too." He said.I smiled with a nod. He was definitely right, I felt a sharp pain at the back of my head. I slept late thinking about things to help bring back Alex's memory. "I'm worried about Alex." I admitted as I yawned.He stared at the ground for a few seconds before turning up to look at me. "I don't know what to do right now. I'm actually fed up with everything, he doesn't even seem to know you.""True love will definitely bring back his memories."Oliver laughed and quickly stopped laughing when he realized the frown on my face. "This is definitely not the time to laugh. I'm trying to be positive here cause I'm seriously losing my mind.""We have to follow the doctor's advice, telling him anything right now
Ruthless Billionaire Chapter Thirty-Eight
Alex's POVI walked into the house with Oliver and found Lisa on the sofa. It was surprising but I never asked them for a maid. I was even totally pissed off when I walked in and found her sitting down on the sofa comfortably."Are you dating her?" I was forced to ask."No, I'm not." He answered with a frown.I chuckled. "It's obvious that you're dating her because she's not behaving like a maid.""Because she's not a ....." He paused and stared at me. "Just leave her alone, don't make her angry." He added.I chuckled. "This is also my house and I won't tolerate any bad habits."My mom climbed down from the stairs and hugged me. "I've missed you my son and believe me, Lisa missed you too." She said and I felt dizzy.The name 'Lisa' seemed to affect me, I caught Oliver nudging her with an elbow.I held my head in agony."Why will Lisa miss me?" I asked loudly waiting for answers.Lisa stood up and walked towards me. It was obvious that she was crying. "Sh
