Diane stood in Liam's way smiling sweetly at him. Liam felt irritated from the depth of his heart; Amber was in danger; he needed to be there.“Where are you headed in such a rush?”“None of your concern Miss Donaldson”.Diane scoffed loudly; hearing Liam refer to her as that infuriated her. She adjusted her stance exuding dominance. She was certain he was aware of her leveling up and dining with the upper authority now; she had to live up to it.“I need to talk to you; let us go back to your office, Liam”.Liam checked his Rolex watch as his heart was beating loudly. He was about to yank Diane out of his way when his phone rang and he picked it up instantly.“What is the situation?” He questioned suspiciously looking into Diane's amused face.“It is all under control. Don't come, Mr Hickson”, Adrian said calmly.“I have Miss Donaldson right in my face here”, Liam pointed out.“Great! Keep her occupied. Don't worry, Liam, I will keep Amber safe”.Liam dropped the call while still star

Liam opened his eyes slightly as he heard Amber's loud yell over the phone, he saw Diane hovering over him and consequently jolted up in awe. She looked over at him and smiled sweetly. To further worsen the crime, she had him bound to the chair.“Sweetheart, was your dream pleasant?”Liam scoffed loudly and tried to remove his shackle but obviously Diane had done a great job of fitting it tightly enough to resist breakage.“How could I when I woke up to such an irritating sight as you”?Diane picked up her bag and swayed her hips; she acted unaffected by his spiteful words; Liam contemplated taunting her further, but remembering how temperamental Diane could be, he decided against it. She didn’t say anything and just walked out of the door leaving him stranded.A few minutes later, Adrian and Amber rushed in, breathing heavily; relief flooded their minds as they met him unharmed, with tears in her eyes; Amber started untying him while uttering inaudible curses under her breath, which

Amber picked up her setting spray and splashed it on her face. She had spent the last two hours adding flashy makeup to her face, and she couldn’t sleep all night as she had contemplated the abortion several times, but she was still indecisive after coming up with fifty reasons why she shouldn’t keep it.It didn’t help matters that Liam hadn’t called her since two days ago that she missed his call, she didn’t call him too as her conscience kept prickling her, probably Liam was pulling out after his encounter with Diane the previous day, she couldn’t be sure but one thing was certain, she wasn’t ready to trap him with an unplanned pregnancy.She wore her five-inch heels and made for the door. She turned back to the mirror to double-check her effort, and it all looked perfect as if she was on her way to a red carpet event. On a day like this, she craved some alcohol, but she knew it would be a terrible idea, considering she was heading in for surgery.“You look stunning Miss Wilson”.He

Adrian turned and stole a quick glance at Liam whose countenance was no different from his. It had taken them one hour to drive in silence before they got to their destination, but their consistent phone ringing sent uneasiness to their soul.They got out of the car and waited patiently by its side, none bold enough to switch off their phones, Rissa’s eyes had thinned dangerously while warning Adrian of what she would do if he died. He knew they had to face their challenge head-on at that crucial point.“Congratulations on your…. engagement”.Liam smiled sheepishly at Adrian's words. He didn't know if it was the best moment, but he was glad to have his competitor say such.“Thank you”.They both try to pretend not to be shaken by the precarious situation they are in. Soon enough, a red Rolls Royce zoomed in and they both adjusted their stance, hiding their vulnerability perfectly.The car came to an abrupt stop a few steps from where they were standing. Liam looked around; it was a pe

“Boom!”Mr. Denver’s body fell with a loud thud; Diane opened her eyes gently and watched Mr. Smith tuck the gun back into his back pocket. She opened her mouth several times but no word came out of it.“Was it fast and painless?”“What?” Diane spat out, afraid; she took another look at Mr Denver's corpse.“I said when you killed my daughter Sydney, was it fast?” Mr Smith questioned again; this time around, his voice carried a pent-up emotion.“Sydney was your daughter?” She questioned wide-eyed.She had no idea about anything when she took up the offer, only that she had to save her life and be rid of her crime. She took the hand that showed up to help, despite it looking like it was sent from the pit of hell.“Answer the damn question bitch!”Diane's lips quivered; she was already accustomed to being called a bitch that she didn't feel pained by it, only that she didn't know the possible response that wouldn't lead to having a bullet hole in her face.“I…I…it was ... fa... fast”, sh

The car came to an abrupt stop, and Liam alighted from it; he stood for a split second, staring intently at the thirty-storey building his father had faced hell to build. The more steps he took closer to it, the more the reporters and bloggers rushed after him, all attempting to put their microphones close to his lips. He ignored them and left the trouble of keeping them a bay to his bodyguards.Liam walked in and the aura in the room was gloomy and depressing. Some of the staff have confused expressions or unkempt looks about them. The news had broken up at about 12pm so everyone had heard it by morning.He had to switch off his phone all night as the persistent calls he was getting from investors and business associates of Golden Fingers who were contemplating pulling out were infuriating.Amber had paced endlessly about in the room, biting her fingernails unconsciously and coming up with ridiculous ideas on ways out of the mess his father Rowen Hickson had caused; karma did choos

“When am I getting a brother too?”Those words raised Adrian's pent-up emotions; his eyes met Rissa's, who rather looked embarrassed. They had been dating for over two years now, and he hadn't popped the big question yet, which he knew Rissa must have started getting worried about.His memory of the day she had blatantly told him that she wouldn't be having another child yet until she was certain they were already committed surfaced in his head; he bit his lower lips, feeling like a failure.He had promised himself in the past that if they could survive the Pandora's box ruse, he was going to propose marriage to her, but all thanks to his desperation, the Pandora's box had turned into an endless cycle of trouble.“Sweetheart, Mum, and Dad aren't ready…yet”, he heard Rissa say.Rissa could feel her cheeks heating up as she had to defend something that had been baffling her too; their relationship could be envied; why the hesitance on Adrian's part? She wasn't desperate but more afraid

Adrian felt his blood boil as he flung open the door just in time to see the bartender caressing Rissa's exposed lap; he felt a murderous rage, and he rushed over to him and punched him in the face. The latter fell on his butt wide-eyed.“How dare you touch my woman!” He thundered.He rushed over to the chair and picked Rissa up who was muttering inaudible words. The bartender stood up abruptly, ready to fight back, when a strong hand held him in place. He looked up at the giant, muscled man in a suit, and fear gripped him.The bodyguard bowed slightly to Adrian and dropped the agape bartender back on the floor. He rushed past him to open the door of the bar and made for the car. Martha had reached out to him as Adrian had instructed her before he left hurriedly.They alighted from the car in front of the house and Rissa gently stirred awake. She closed her eyes again afraid she could be having a silly fantasy of Adrian. She remembered bashing him with spiteful words and rushing out

The door opened with a loud thud and Adrian jumped up abruptly, his heart thumping loudly that he could barely manage to stand up straight. Rissa rushed towards them, and they all gathered around the surgeon, who threw a casual look at Rissa's exquisite shimmering flowing white gown.“The surgery was successful”Just one word and jubilation filled the air; Bianca and the baby boy had made it, and to their relief, Caleb hugged his cousin Gracia, who was still so overwhelmed that she had gotten a little brother at her teenage age. Bianca’s husband broke down in tears and Adrian had to console him.Adrian held Rissa's hand, and they exited the hospital; now that the baby had been born, they could enjoy the later part of their wedding party in merriment. Once they returned to the venue, Rissa rushed back to her changing room, where her designer was waiting patiently; Adrian had booked her for the whole day’s worth, so she had no problem with their little charade.“Let us skip the second l
Stolen heaven Chapter 199: Something Dumb To Do
The cool breeze blew in Rissa's face, and she felt bliss formed in her heart; for the second time in her lifetime, she heard the priest announce her arrival.“Here comes the bride”All heads turned in her direction, and thousands of eyes followed her gentle stride; from the pleasant look on their faces, her designer had done a flawless job. The stress that came with fitting her bulging stomach into the elegant dress she chose was a really hilarious moment for Camela. Rissa had vowed that her pregnancy wasn't going to stop her from slaying to her wedding.Abraham got up, Stella gave him a reassuring nod and he made for Rissa's side. She gave him a soft smile as the feeling of safety engulfed her; he had been nothing short of a wonderful father figure since she met him, and she wasn't willing to trade him for anyone, even if her real father were to show up, which was very unlikely. Walking her down the aisle, Abraham had truly earned it.Rissa's eyes met Adrian's, he looked at her so dr
Stolen heaven Chapter 198: To Call Your Bluff
Rosa kept shooting daggers at Adrian, but he didn't care; all that mattered was getting them deported out of Los Angeles. The police officers ushered them into the van. Bryan was silent, which bothered Adrian a little, but he overlooked it.Mrs Denver didn't show up; she had invited them, Bryan and Rosa, over only to hand them over to Adrian, who was hellbent on putting them behind bars or getting them deported. Unfortunately, Bryan had no other recorded crime aside from illegal entry, but Rosa could spend a few years behind bars for abetting Diane's crimes.Rosa was being dragged forcibly by a policeman when she screamed out; he released her arm as black blood was seeping out; Adrian remembered their last encounter, the bullet wound, and explained to the officers; they allowed her to undress the wound, to their surprise, it was rotting away.Adrian closed his eyes, disgusted by the pungent smell coming out of them; they decided to take her to the hospital while Bryan was to go into d
Stolen heaven Chapter 197: Bygone!!!
“I believe you are holding our family's treasure, Mr. Hickson.”Mrs Denver's loud voice cut through the air, the amusement behind her voice, a loud sound of victory. Liam contemplated calling off her charade but he decided to be civil about it.“I thought you said she wasn't your husband’s illegitimate daughter?” he questioned with a slightly raised brow.“I lied, but now that the three of them are dead and I don't have to take sleeping pills to force myself to sleep, I need to rub it in my husband's face by burying her ashes beside his”.Liam paused for a few seconds savouring the bitterness behind her words. She wasn't totally wrong. Diane’s bad blood was inherited from her callous father, Mr Denver, and they didn't really deserve any mercy. He looked down at the ceramic he was holding and stretched it forward to her.He had achieved his aim already, so having her ashes taken away by her family wasn't a big deal. His mind drifted off to the day he got their divorce papers signed, th
Stolen heaven Chapter 196: Who You Were
*Diane's Dream*Clara tried holding Diane's hand, but she pushed her hands away; the pain in her eyes, the unspoken resentment, she wondered how she even recognized her, but none of it seemed to matter; she just wanted to get out of her sight.“I am sorry my child”Diane turned around and gave her a disdainful look as if it mattered at all; all she wanted was to return to Rissa's ward and infuse the poisonous substance into her bloodstream. She looked around herself, everywhere looked so bright and deserted.She walked on, ignoring the helpless lady standing by her side pleading for her forgiveness; her life had been made miserable all thanks to her mother's reckless choice of man.“Diane, I never abandoned you, it is just….”“Save it to yourself, woman; I do not think I want to hear your excuses; I just want to get the hell out of here.”To her surprise, the woman did as she said, within a split second she disappeared, replaced by an all too familiar face, Mr Smith. Diane felt fear
Stolen heaven Chapter 195: Mend My Soul, Mr Grey
“Adrian, am I pregnant?” Rissa wanted to scream but she held it in. An awkward silence ensued in the room; Adrian looked away instantly, avoiding Rissa's piercing gaze. Liam took it as a clue to leave, his bombshell seemed to have caused a shift in the atmosphere of the room.“I will check up on you later,” Liam said and winked playfully at Caleb, who smiled warmly in return. He walked out of the room with Adrian by his side. The moment they were out of sight, he apologized profusely to Adrian for spilling the beans. He had unintentionally eavesdropped on Adrian and the doctor's conversation earlier, which made him realize she was pregnant at a very early stage.“It is fine; congratulations to you, too. I guess Mrs. Hickson must be overwhelmed.”“She is, our daughter Bella is barely eight months old and……wait! Why are we talking about this?” Liam said bewildered.“Beats me too; we aren't friends after all,” Adrian responded, and awkwardly, they both laughed heartily.Adrian and Liam
Stolen heaven Chapter 194: Blinded By Greed
Bryan paced endlessly, agitated by the silence around him. She had promised to reach out to him when the coast was clear but apparently something unfortunate had happened. He ruffled his lustrous hair as frustration welled up in him. Rosa wasn't the type to ghost him indefinitely.He thought inwardly about taking the offer discreetly. Mrs. Denver had reached out to him without Rosa's knowledge; she had warned him of her two-faced plot, and he was caught between calling it a bluff or actually naming her a traitor.Diane and Rosa have their pictures and videos circulating the internet. He was certain they were together but had she changed her mind and taken Diane's side again? He didn't want to talk about it.A knock sounded at the door, and he opened it immediately; he staggered backward, startled; he had expected a hotel attendant, but to his amazement, two prominent men in Los Angeles had paid him a visit.“Can we come in?”Bryan’s eyes widened, and he stared intently into Adrian Gre

Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-ThreeWhen It Seems to Be OverLiam couldn't help but feel impressed by Adrian Grey again. He had always surpassed his expectations in every way possible. The news of his family's safe return had raised a lot of jubilations that made even Liam happy.When the news of Rissa and Caleb's kidnap was aired, fear gripped him; he couldn't take his eyes off his family for days. He felt bad for Adrian, but he felt worse because it was Rissa. Bella crawled up to him enthusiastically flaunting her rattle in his face.Liam picked her up and wrapped his arm around her, she was growing up way too fast that it gave him unexplainable joy. Amber entered the room looking dejected and Liam got worried. He walked up to her and inquired what the problem was, her response shocked him to the bone marrow.“You mean we are having another baby?” He questioned wide-eyed.Amber responded with a short nod and busted into tears. Liam left the room immediately to drop Bella with her n
Stolen heaven Chapter 192: To Ruin The Day
“Shall we play a game, Adrian?” Her devilish wink sent shivers down his spine; he looked down at Caleb, who seemed to be fidgeting too; he exchanged knowing looks with him, assuring him of having the situation under control.“The rules are simple: just nod your response, no talking, you talk, he dies! non-negotiable”.Adrian closed his eyes and nodded in affirmation, Diane sat up on the chair and faced him while still on his knees. Adrian could feel his knees hurting, but he didn't care at all; all that mattered to him was getting his family out of the hellhole.“Did Mr Smith offer you a deal?”Adrian nodded affirmatively, and Diane cursed inwardly; she suspected that sly bastard was up to something; she should have thrown him to the fishes when she had the chance.Her phone rang, and she looked over at it; she exchanged stiff glances with Rosa, who got the message clearly. Rosa came close to her and held Caleb by the shoulder while Diane left to pick up her discreet call.Rosa star
