Stolen heaven Chapter 123: Outgrown Attraction
Liam felt his back hit the concrete wall; his hand danced in her hair, ruffling it vigorously; Amber didn't mind as her lips were totally occupied teasing Liam's.They kept undressing each other in haste that nothing made sense at the moment, not even the fact that he had just heard that he could get a bullet hole in his head any time and from anyone.He moved his mouth from hers, and Amber reluctantly let go, arching her body to his so that his erection was bulging close to her stomach. She giggled weirdly as a teenager in heat.Liam's hand cupped her breast, and she moaned softly; it had been a long time coming, but it never got to happen; now it was happening, and Amber could hardly believe it.She looked into his eyes, and the pure lust and ecstasy in it excited her; it didn't matter if he couldn't love her; if he desired her this much, it was enough to make up for his stubborn heart.“Li…Liam”His name escaped her lips as his tongue met with her nipples. He tickled and sucked on

Rissa reminisced over Mr Peterson’s words for the whole day. She wouldn't have been so bothered if the man had anything to lose, but obviously, there was no connection involved.She had inquired curiously about why he discouraged their relationship but her questions were met with annoying silence. Mr Peterson had never been a likeable person from the start.Working under his wings in the past had given Rissa the impression that his cordial relationship with Rowen Hickson had been severely abused and that junior staff were like pawns in his board game.Rissa only earned his respect when her engagement to Liam Hickson was announced back then. Telling her off to marry Adrian Grey without any stated reason was both suspicious and cruel.“Mum, I said I won the race”.Caleb yelled, Rissa had been ignoring his enthusiastic words while being lost in her subconscious mind.“I am sorry pumpkin, congratulations”.“Dad said he was going to come over with a new game board for me”.Unconsciously, R

Rissa rested her head dejectedly on Mariah's shoulder sobbing bitterly. The older woman wasn't in a better state either; she just rubbed her back gently in strokes that screamed okay when everything obviously wasn't okay.Caleb had watched on innocently, but his eyes never wavered from Stella, his grandmother, who seemed lost in thought. The other twin, Paul, lay restless on Abraham's shoulder.Since two days ago, his brother had been missing, Paul has refused suckling and barely eats, just as Stella has been. The state of confusion had engulfed everyone, silenced tears, and depression had been the domineering aura in the house.The kidnapper’s handwritten note at the scene of the crime revealed the intention behind the kidnap.“Catch me if you can Edward's bastard!”Adrian had yelled his lungs out the moment they got to the crime scene in the countryside and read the inscribed words on the wall and the handwritten note containing the same words. Obviously, they had known he had Rissa

Adrian opened his eyes slightly, but everything seemed foggy; all he could hear were distant, inaudible words; he felt his body being moved on a flat surface as usual and lost consciousness again.He was lost in his subconscious mind and kept screaming loudly, but nobody seemed to hear him, or did they decide to ignore him? Rissa's voice would have given him hope and courage, but unfortunately, he couldn't hear it.All he heard were deafening beeping from the machines that surrounded him, utterly annoying and frustrating. The priceless hug Rissa had given him before he lost consciousness was worth the risk he took to get Peter back to his parents alive.The moment he drove off after giving Rissa his word to ensure the boy's safety. He had called on his private military mercenary organization and four of their agents were dispatched to aid him.Adrian knew their opponents were no joke, so he offered to use himself as bait, which he did successfully, following the kidnapper's coded inst

Rissa watched with tears in her eyes as Adrian was surrounded by the top doctors in the hospital. Finally regaining consciousness after three days had made him look so pale.She rushed over to hug him, but one of the doctors stopped her on the way, making his recovery the major priority. Rissa couldn't contain her heart; she felt like she was going to suffocate at any moment.Looking down through the gigantic windows of the VIP room from the seventh floor, her eyes could pick some people hooded together, clutching tightly their cameras, ready to announce Adrian's death or recovery.Rissa walked out feeling torn and overwhelmed as she was; she couldn't bear to face Adrian in that condition. She moved out and was about to take her first step on the stairs when she heard Bianca's unmistakable shout at one of the doctors blocking her way.Rissa had to resist the urge to go back into the room and walk down the stairs. With each step came flashbacks, the good days and the bad. Everything s

Rissa took small steps closer as she was at a loss for words. Adrian gave her an encouraging nod, which signifies his agreement to the interview alongside Liam Hickson.“I must say, Mr Grey, Mr Hickson, I am honoured to be granted this opportunity”, the interviewer said pleasantly.A wide smile rewarded his word and Rissa sat down close to Adrian. Her eyes kept travelling in between the two powerful men she found herself around.“Mr Kentucky, I hope the filming hasn't commenced yet”, Liam said enthusiastically pointing towards the camera.“Of course not, Mr Hickson; I need to give you all the time you need to get ready”.“Great”.Liam lowered his voice and faced Rissa whose confused expression lightened up at Adrian's reassuring smile.“We need to clean the mess we caused, Rissa; I do not want you to be in a difficult position, and so does Mr Grey. Rissa fell in line as realization dawned on her: the controversy on the internet was not only dangerous to her but also to Caleb and thei

“Let me start from here, Amber Wilson, I am willing to give myself to you completely”.Liam opened the small package and brought out a tiny necklace with an emerald green pendant. He turned around Amber's back and gently fastened it on her neck. With one look into her eyes, his heart melted.The intensity of the color matches her eyes giving it a stunning glow.“It looks beautiful on you”“Green has always been one of my strengths; although everything looks good on me, I have got a great body, remember?” Amber said playfully, and they both laughed.One good thing about their relationship has always been the fact that Amber's natural sauciness had never irked Liam; he had only avoided her in the past because of the women in his life, Rissa and Diane.Diane's eye settled on Liam's handsome face and the facade of a smile he had on to deceive the camera. She paused the interview rerun and focused solely on him. He had proudly announced having a girlfriend. She shook her head as realizatio

Rissa's hand gently massaged Adrian and he reciprocated with a heartwarming smile. It had only been a few hours since he regained consciousness, and too many overwhelming emotions had formed in his heart.Diane Donaldson‘s shameful arrest that was circulating all over the internet added to the list. She had really been an unrepentant criminal. Just when he started seeing a good side to her, she had ruined it all with her impulsiveness.Bianca walked in with a tray of fruits. Her face lightened up instantly as her eye made contact with Rissa, and she gave her a reassuring smile. After the heated argument they had before the interview, she thought Rissa would despise her afterwards, but relying on her flooded her heart when she didn't.Everyone knows Bianca Grey’s terrible temper, she assumed Rissa must have thought.“Crybaby, have some fruit, you need more vitamins now”.“Thank you, Bianca”. Rissa said and collected it from her, she diced it into smaller pieces and started feeding it t

Stolen heaven Chapter 175: A Daisy Dose Of Misery
She crushed the paper she was holding; anger brewed in her; she had to put up with that saucy bitch because of a mere slip-up from that wretched opportunist. Mr Denver's eyes shot up and her late husband’s stoic face from the wall frame bore into hers as if he was judging her harshly.Mrs. Denver hissed angrily, it was a marriage of convenience from the start so he couldn't have expected faithfulness from her, he never attempted to show her love either, he was busy frolicking with that coward bartender, but now the outcome had come back to bite her in flesh as Diane Donaldson, the thick-skinned bitch.She picked up her private phone and stared intently at it, the message was simple and clear enough, but can it be trusted? She had grown up with the knowledge of walking on eggshells around everybody else, just one slip could lead to one’s destruction.“Mrs. D, We can turn the table around; our mutual enmity could be put to good use; call me if it resonates with you.”Mrs. Denver could s
Stolen heaven Chapter 174: Plan And Action
Rosa kept throwing occasional suspicious glances at Diane who was busy cementing her usual flawless makeup. She couldn't shake off the possibility of her finding out about their plan before they were able to execute it. She had desperately hoped that Diane hadn't tapped her phone as she did bug her car.With her sensitive discussion with Bryan, and their rebellious scheme to overthrow her or probably eliminate her for good, Rosa had made up her mind; she was going to risk it; how long was she willing to lick the floor that the bitchy woman walks on.From the day she had set her eyes on Diane at the organization, she knew for a fact that she was trouble, it was just unfortunate that men’s blind lust for her had cost the previous general, her bedmate his life, not that Rosa cared, after all, she had only taken to his bed to save her own miserable life.She looked down at her hand, and her eyes flicked over the tattoo in her hand, her lifesaver, which had ensured her survival all along,
Stolen heaven Chapter 173: Freedom At A Cost
“Told me what?”Adrian questioned suspiciously, his heart thumping loudly in his chest; he sincerely hoped it wasn't what he was thinking. If it turned out to be, it would make him a total jerk. He looked Rissa in the eye; she didn't blink, and no shift in her countenance scared him more.“Were you hoping she was pregnant for you Hun!” Bianca said sharply, cutting off the awkward silence in the room.Adrian couldn't hide his embarrassment; he tried to deny it, but the words proved difficult to say; he looked over at Rissa, who wore a disdainful look. She smoothed her expression and smiled warmly at Bianca who kept up with the nonchalantly. “I am planning to resign from my position after the competition ends”, Rissa said softly.Adrian's countenance dwindled, replaced by instant grief? Was Rissa planning to walk away from him? Her eyes spoke volumes; it didn't look like she was going to have a rethink; she was on the verge of making up her mind; confusion engulfed him; she hadn't give
Stolen heaven Chapter 172: Guess Who Stopped By?
The meeting was getting too long and boring, but the board of directors kept clamoring for a solution to their fears, a problem whose solution date was long past. Adrian wished he could bail out but he imagined his grandfather throwing dagger shades at him for running away like a coward.He kept on nodding in agreement, urging the agitated bald man, whose ferocious behavior was well known, to keep up with his analysis. With one look at his phone, he was tempted to pick it up; Rissa had dropped him tons of messages that he didn't open, and the last one caught his attention: the kiss emoji.The unmistakable glint in his eyes had urged the speaker, unknown to him, that Adrian had fallen into the world of his fantasies. Another message surfaced on the notification bar that got him hooked.“Guess who decided to stop by?”Adrian had always known Rissa didn't bluff; he hastily picked up his phone, and to the director's displeasure, he mouthed a quick apology and hastily dialed her number; be
Stolen heaven Chapter 171: Throne Of Thorns
Amber's eyes never left Diane's; she had confidently walked into their home as if she owned the place; of course, she was once the lady of the mansion, but that was all in the past; her tenure was long gone. An unpleasant memory flickered in Diane's eyes; she was throwing glassware on the floor to appease her rage, and Amber was standing there with fear in her eyes, holding tight to her son, Rowen Hickson, shouting back at her. That very day, she had lost something important, her very first and only pregnancy.A feeling of loss took over her heart; she tried to shake it away, but it proved abortive; Diane had sat there for about ten minutes cross-legged. The awkward silence in the room unsettled her; Liam looked more composed than she had ever seen him in all the years they spent together in the past. He looked like a man with rational reasoning rather than his initial gullibility.“To what surprise do we owe this unpleasant visit?” Amber questioned sarcastically, glaring at her.Dia
Stolen heaven Chapter 170: The Consensual Dominance
“Is that a teardrop Adrian?”Embarrassed was an understatement of what he felt; he had hidden his emotions well enough, but Rissa still managed to catch a glimpse of his weakness. Adrian smiled warmly, hiding his feelings; he hugged Rissa, who was still shocked by it but decided not to question him.The day went by slowly and uneventfully until Mrs Denver decided to make a press release stating her stance on her late husband’s illegitimate daughter. To the nation’s surprise. Diane had shown up alongside her at the conference room.The countenance she wore had given the world a clue that they had reached a consensual agreement, only that Mrs Denver needed to pronounce it publicly. Mr Smith threw his phone across the room as he watched the live conference.This had not been his intention when he sent Diane the DNA result; he had tried to set up three strong parties against her, hoping one of them could take her down. Liam Hickson had rejected his offer, and Adrian Grey's stance was stil
Stolen heaven Chapter 169: Close To Perfection
Rissa pouted angrily. Was this all a sick joke to him? Three years of commitment and all she got was a casual proposal! She was about to turn him down bluntly and state a thousand reasons why she thought he was inconsiderate when Adrian's phone rang.He had to excuse himself to pick up the call and Rissa sat there sulking like a rejected teenager. Liam Hickson, in the past, had made her a grand proposal that melted many hearts, including the envious Diane Donaldson. Rissa ruffled her hair, she didn't want to think about it.The comparison of both men wasn't healthy; she knew that Adrian might be an inconsiderate jerk sometimes, but she was certain of his true affection for her. Her phone chimed, and Camela’s video call request came through; she picked it up, and it turned out to be a conference call.“Hi Rissa”, Camela and Mandy chorused “Let me guess, you are in Mr Grey’s office; the background is…. exquisite”, Mandy taunted, and they all laughed.Rissa blushed sheepishly; she had a
Stolen heaven Chapter 168: Bluntly, Plainly And Weirdly
Diane alighted from the car, and the paparazzi rushed after her; she smiled inwardly but managed to maintain her facade of hurtfulness. Mr Denver's wife had watched her display from the CCTV footage, but she kept her composure, barely giving off any emotion of weakness.The first day she had read the anonymous blogspot about the bastard girl, her heart had almost given out; her late husband had promised her in the past that he was certain he had tidied up all his loose ends, but here she was, back in one piece.The uneasiness she had felt twenty-seven years ago when the news of the burnt house didn't record the child’s corpse had come back to haunt her in the form of a stronger force to reckon with. If her suspicion was right, she was dealing with a devil’s playmate.Beatrice had grumpily told Diane about what she had heard about her before she left the orphanage, the strange man who had dumped her there with a lump sum of donation had firmly insisted she must never be adopted by any
Stolen heaven Chapter 167: Twice Beloved
“Mum, we are building a sandman”.Caleb's enthusiasm melted Rissa's troubled heart, she sat in the far end of the beach house dressed in a sexy teal green bikini and a slightly draped kimono. They had put off the beach visit for too long, fearing attacks; their lives had been at a standstill for too long, and unwinding turned out to be the best idea.She looked over at the all-powerful CEO of Perchy Peach packing some earth with his bare hands; he looked too happy doing it that Rissa scoffed inwardly; his authoritative aura had been replaced with a childlike look; she was glad they had taken Mrs Robinson’s weird advice.With one look at the peacefulness of the ocean, Rissa wished she had such a life, but unfortunately, hers was filled with too many dramatic encounters and dangerous turns that she barely remembers what it felt like to be at total ease.She kept on glancing at their phones that had laid helpless on the floor, Adrian had come up with the idea that they switch off their p
