Diane smiled satisfactorily to herself after walking away from the gullible-minded guy who gave her quite a scare.She made her way into a public restroom and stared back at her reflection in the mirror, she looked so different thanks to her makeup skill.She removed her blonde wig and her long lustrous hair fell below her shoulder " That is some relief" she muttered to her reflection in the mirror.She removed her false lashes and dabbed a wiper over her face to remove the exaggerated, excessive make-up.After she was done, she changed her clothes to a body-fitted maxi dress and also her shoes.Her phone chimed and another of Liam's messages popped up on the display screen " I said I am sorry, Diane”, he wrote with a pleading emoji.Diane laughed hysterically "What a softie”, she thought, and she responded with a crying emoji, which made Liam drop another message worriedly." I trust you, my instinct just got cold feet because of my experience" " And you think accusing me of havin

"You won't be dying on my watch" Abraham wrenched the knife from her hand as his blood spilt on her.With shaking hands, Rissa dropped it and stared at his bleeding hand in disbelief.Abraham hissed loudly and scrunched up his nose. "I wouldn't be able to tend to the garden for somedays”, he muttered to himself." What! Is that even the problem, for goodness sake? You are bleeding!" she thundered and quickly made for the first aid box in the shelf corner." You thought it would be easy when you decided to take your life”, he retorted, rolling his eyes.Rissa scoffed "Who told you to meddle then?" she spat out at him while dabbing his wounded palm with wool and antiseptic." Should I have watched you die?" He retorted arching his chin up her face.Rissa drew back, feeling nauseated from the garlic smell he emitted “It is all done”, she announced after bandaging his hand." You should have”, Rissa said out of the blue, taking him by surprise." Pardon?" he responded baffled, " I said yo

" Call me father”, his word rang loudly in her ears. She was too weak to respond, and Mariah just laughed awkwardly." You aren't her father, you know right!" She heard Mariah snap back at him "So quit your nonsense Aby"" I know, but I will adopt her once Stella and I get married”, Abraham responded boldly." You are too delusional for your good," she heard Mariah say as Rissa dozed off out of fatigue.The two bantered with soft words for quite some time, although the garrulous Mariah had the last say as usual.***In an exquisite restaurant sat Liam. Across the table, facing him was an Asian man; they both laughed at his joke and shook hands." It has been a pleasure working with you, Mr Kim; I hope our relationship extends to the future”, Liam said, smiling." Of course, Mr Hickson, thanks to you, my company won a recent bid in my country, Korea”, he responded excitedly." I am pleased to hear that”, Liam affirmed, sipping on his wine." I am sorry about the recent ruckus in your l

The angry blaring of her bedside alarm jolted Rissa from her sleep; she adjusted her soft pillow, covering her ears from it.To her ultimate surprise, she felt a tingling sensation in her stomach, and she rubbed her hand over her baby bump.She felt a stronger jab, and her eyes flew open instantly. "My baby just kicked!" she soliloquized in disbelief.The strong jab occurred again and she laughed excitedly "he kicked!" she shouted joyfully and rolled out of her bed.Her joy knew no bounds at that; it's been two months since her suicidal attempt, and her mother's friends have been supportive.Abraham made it his duty to check up on her every day after work, and Mariah brought her snacks daily.She picked up her phone to share the news with Mariah, but unfortunately, she didn't pick up.Rissa trotted into the kitchen to make herself breakfast and was humming her favourite Taylor Swift breakup song as usual.For a short time, her mind drifted to Liam, but she shook it off instantly; his

Diane felt a wave of nausea at Rissa's smiling face in a picture they jointly took on their first promotion at work." Everything comes easy for that bitch" she muttered to herself and tore the picture throwing Rissa's part in the dumpster.She picked up her Louis Vuitton mini bag and made her way to the office, amidst the terrible traffic." What the hell is happening?" a stout man shouted at the bus driver who retorted." Are you too blind to see the crime scene?" the driver shouted back eyeing the questioner with disdain.Diane bit her upper lips in regret for rejecting Liam's offer to buy her a new car when her car broke down recently." I need to act like I am not interested in his money," She had prepped her mind, standing her ground despite his insistence.Going to exquisite restaurants on dates and shopping had been their norm, but she still avoided raising his suspicion.She knew Liam wasn't a total pushover; he is the CEO of a top-tier company, so dealing with people's gree

" Diane Donaldson, will you marry me?" Liam had suddenly popped the question while on his bended knees.Diane felt like the world was at a standstill, waiting for her to make the first move; she watched blankly as all faces pleaded desperately along with Liam.She felt like a Cinderella in her designer comfy shoes, and amusingly enough, Liam doesn't fall short of a Prince charming." Yes! Yes!" She screamed excitedly as all hands jammed together, and Liam took her slim fingers into his; he slipped a diamond ring into her finger.Surprising breaths were drawn from other female onlookers, "this ring must cost more than my annual earnings," Diane thought to herself, smiling satisfactorily.She hugged Liam tightly and kissed him with enthusiasm; never in her life had she expected her fantasy to become a reality after all.Not just dining with prominent personalities but getting married to a billionaire CEO who is extremely charming." I love you”, she whispered into Liam's ears, which he

Stella paced endlessly still staring intently at Rissa's protruding stomach." And you kept it away from me?" She thundered obviously hurt by it " Mum! I knew you would be devastated, I didn't want that," Rissa responded touching Stella's shoulder Stella closed her eyes and opened it again, her watery eyes stared at her daughter, pity written all over it." Is it Liam's?" She asked slowly but Rissa's disapproving nod confirmed her suspicion." So it is for the strange man?" She bellowed calmly settling on the sofa, her hand gripping it tightly." Yes”, Rissa responded downcast; Stella was speechless for some seconds, contemplating how to handle the situation." It is a whole lot to take in Rissa; forgive my reactions; I know you are hurting too," she said at last." I know mum, it wasn't easy for me either, I....." she started, but Stella stopped her putting a hand over her mouth." Don't explain anything.

" I was betrothed to someone”, Liam said calmly, maintaining eye contact with Diane, whose heart shattered immediately." Not anymore... Diane.. not anymore, I swear," Liam added, shaking his outstretched wrist dismissively.Diane was dumbfounded; she buried her head in her hand and ruffled her lustrous hair, disappointed.Her newly bestowed diamond ring felt heavy all of a sudden.Diane summoned all the courage she could muster and looked Liam in the eye." Who?" she asked hoping desperately his response won't fit with her suspicion."Amber, her name is Amber, she is....." Liam started but Diane hastily interjected." The fashion blogger?" She asked in disbelief, and Liam nodded in affirmation, confirming her fear.Her mind wandered off to the lady's attitude towards her at the proposal party." And you still invited her to the proposal!" She screamed out loudly " I didn't Diane, I was surprised to see her in attendance but we weren't an item anymore so I didn't think much of it," L

“Then you get to take a shower after killing the cockroach laced in your hair”. Diane laughed hysterically at the mere memory of the general’s word. She remembered how she had jumped up and ferociously pulled at her hair in a bid to get it out. Unfortunately, she just got herself fooled by the cunning bastard. Everything was going to be over soon. Finally, she was going to get her happy ending, which she had strived endlessly to achieve. Rosa had reported seeing Amber rushing into Perchy Peach and the scowl on her face a few minutes later when she exited. They must have had a bone to pick. She made for her wine cellar and brought out the best there is but she didn't have the flair to pour more than a few glasses, she had to disconnect her spy recorder in Rosa's car that minute, she was tired of hearing her moans while on missions, Mr George seems to have been digging her right. Mr Smith was right; coming back to Los Angeles was a difficult task for her, having to hide from raising

“Don't you think we should…..”The door opened, cutting Rissa off her word; Amber rushed him; she looked unkempt and uncomposed, and both Adrian and Rissa looked stunned. It took them quite some time to react to her presence.“Mrs Hickson, this is a…..it's a pleasure to see you.. please have a seat”, Adrian offered.“I know all too well that it is not a pleasant meeting, not at a time like this, but I have no choice.” Amber burst into uncontrollable tears, and Rissa moved closer to console her. Even at the most dangerous moments, she had never been this shattered.“Mrs Hickson, what is going on?” Adrian questioned suspiciously.“Liam is being blackmailed”, she said, dabbing her tears with a handkerchief.“By Diane?” Rissa questioned suspiciously.“Not her; he tells me everything about her moves, but this was an anonymous person.”Rissa felt a pang of stabbing jealousy at Amber's words; Liam hadn't been the type to hide things, unlike Adrian, who was prone to. She wished he never had t

Mandy hugged Caleb for the umpteenth time. She felt herself moved to tears, and it took all of her self-control to hold it back. Caleb was sulking, too; he had really gotten used to Mandy's presence for the few days that her departure was about to leave a void in him.His mother, Rissa, had been quite…..distracted these days that she barely had time for him. Also, his father's business was at a huge turning point; he had been keeping himself company with the numerous video games, but right now, he was getting bored.“Don't worry, pumpkin; I will come to visit soon with a lot of chocolate.” Mandy's reassuring smile did little to cheer him up, he nodded innocently. “Now baby, you wouldn't want Aunty Mandy to miss her flight, will you?” Caleb nodded in affirmation and shifted back into Rissa's embrace. He kept waving goodbye till she was out of his view.Rissa's eyes were glued to Mandy's departure, she felt sad but also was happy that nothing negative had happened during her stay in Lo

Rissa felt her cheeks heating up; she opened her eyes slightly as Adrian kissed her lips gently. It feels great every time, she thought inwardly. She wrapped her arms around him in a bear hug, pouting innocently. He looked into her eyes and laughed heartily. Rissa Stonebridge sure is full of surprises.“I got you some gifts”, Adrian said with a charming smile plastered on his face.Rissa disentangled herself from him; her eyes shot up; what was the occasion? It wasn't even her birthday. She turned her head to her bedside and saw a crowded bunch of wrapped gifts, Just looking at them from a distance, she knew he must have spent a fortune.“What is the occasion, Mr. CEO?” she said teasingly.“Nothing special; I just achieved my aim of seeing a sweet smile on my girlfriend’s cute face,” he said, squeezing her cheeks playfully. Rissa rolled her eyes and laughed “I am everything but cute! Nah, I am way past that, thanks to being thirty”.He hugged her tightly and kissed her cheeks; Adrian
Stolen heaven Chapter 155: Something Dumb To Do
Mandy waved enthusiastically and Caleb rushed into her arms. They both couldn't contain their joy; she hadn't had a video call with him in weeks, and it felt like years; she almost got thrown on her back by his huge hug. Rissa walked up to her smiling pleasantly.“Caleb is all grown; I almost fell on my butt from his hug.”Caleb laughed as he disentangled himself from her. Rissa hugged Mandy, too, and kept on blabbing about the jet lag and how she was craving a cold shower and some home-cooked meals. She reached into her pocket and handed over a chocolate box to Caleb which he collected enthusiastically.“You have lost a few pounds, Mandy. Have lectures been stressful?” Rissa questioned worriedly.“Very stressful, but I love it, it keeps me on my toes, and I only have one more year to endure the hard part.”Rissa nodded in understanding and they all walked out of the airport beaming with smiles. Mandy had called her three days back to inform her about her return to Los Angeles for a f
Stolen heaven Chapter 154: Blinded By Distrust
Diane kept gulping down more wine; she was beyond drunk, her face was swollen, and her lips were plump. She smiled inwardly as she listened in on her Bluetooth headphones. The soft moans, her mind drifting off to its imagination, parted her legs slightly and inserted two fingers into her core.The moans intensified, and so did the thrusting of her fingers; she heard the male groan, and her senses flew up; she felt the shift in power and his vigorous thrusts on the female; she felt herself reaching her peak and let out a soft moan before withdrawing her hands.Diane felt herself weakened on the sofa, her juice flowing out freely from between her legs, she smiled satisfactorily. She hadn't had the time to do that in the two months since she arrived in Los Angeles.“Can we do this a few more times?”“Don't you dare dream!”She heard the words and laughed hysterically, Rosa hadn't been aware of the bug in the car, but Diane knew she couldn't trust anyone. Stupidly enough, her assistant de
Stolen heaven Chapter 153: Brainstorming Sex
Everything else was grand except that the plan itself was fruitless; Adrian's eyes scanned the report on his table; he held up his head with his left hand and ruffled his hair. Confusion set about in his countenance; how could their brilliant idea go down the drain like that?Perchy Peach developed a new marketing strategy and product packaging, and within two days, the internet was filled up with negative reviews of it. He had tested it out privately, and nothing seemed to be out of place, but some people seemed to be hell-bent on tarnishing their image.His phone rang loudly, and he dipped his hand into his pocket to retrieve it; he picked it up instantly, and Rissa's voice came through. Caleb was reported to be ill from school, and she had to rush out of the office to get him to the hospital.Fear gripped Adrian, was this coincidental? He knew Diane was going to come for him and Rissa, but he desperately hoped for her own good that Caleb wasn't gravely ill due to one of her mischi
Stolen heaven Chapter 152: Solace In Your Demise
Winter sure was as expected; Mr. George walked out of the prison yard smiling pleasantly; a few weeks ago, she had promised to help him out; he didn't know she had such influence; two days earlier, his parole was granted without any hassle.He waved his hand excessively the moment he sighted her standing beside a luxurious car he hadn't come across before, his eyes shone in admiration of the car and the stunning owner.“Congratulations”, she said nonchalantly as he approached.“Thank you”.They got into the car and drove off instantly; Diane alighted in front of the restaurant opposite Perchy Peach; she put on her sunglasses and curvy hat, a perfect disguise for someone who had been presumed dead.Mr George didn't ask any questions; he had done his research on her secretly. She was supposed to be dead, burnt beyond recognition, but he didn't care how she survived as long as she could be an instrument in his revenge.“I got you a place and job”.She said, sipping on her coffee; the re
Stolen heaven Chapter 151: Like All The Others
“You have a visitor”.Mr George turned and eyed the warder maliciously, he looked tired and haggard from the day’s strenuous activities now he had distracted his nap time. He wondered who his visitor could be but he couldn't wrap his head around it, his girlfriend had stopped visiting two months after his verdict had been stamped, his aged parents despised him a lot now, they were devoted Catholic, how could a child of theirs commit such great atrocities.“Who?” He questioned casually.“Get your ass up, inmate 7505; I am busy”.Mr George rose and yawned lazily; he silently hoped Liam or Adrian hadn't come seeking him for some kind of forgiveness; he laughed hysterically at the thought of that. He braces himself ready to dive into whatever lies ahead of him.The door flung open, and he walked out; he eyed the keys in the warder’s hand; if it had been the only key to get him out of the whole prison, he would have stolen it and absconded.“Aren't you going? I told you I am busy inmate 7
