Stolen heaven Chapter 146: The Hickson Bride
Adrian couldn't help but smile inwardly as Rissa kept glancing nervously at the mirror checking on her flawless makeup and cloth hem. She had adjusted it for the up tenth time.“You look gorgeous already, babe.”Adrian held her hand in his and caressed them gently; it wasn't unusual for her to be nervous; she was attending her ex’s third wedding; what a hilarious turn of events.Rissa finally decided to let go of her insecurity as she adjusted the neckline of the flowing dress, her emerald green necklace matching perfectly with the floral pattern the gown was adorned with.Adrian had offered to recruit the best makeup artist in all of Los Angeles but Rissa had turned down the offer. Blending in with the crowd was the plan, but looking at herself in the mirror right now, she knew she wouldn't blend in, she was too stunning to blend in.They got into the car and zoomed off; the venue had been exquisitely decorated, as expected, with a shimmering interior. Adrian wrapped his arms around

The blind flung open, revealing the cool morning breeze; Liam breathed it in as he held his bundle of joy in his arms. She wriggled slightly, rubbing her face with her tiny palms.Amber giggled proudly as she watched the pure ecstasy on Liam's handsome face; he was grinning happily; a few hours ago, he had gotten a call from the hospital that his wife was falling into labor.He had left in the middle of a meeting with the top board of directors. He didn't care about the disapproving look on their faces when he decided what was more important, but he couldn't care; his child was about to be born.A rush of relief flooded Amber's mind when Adrian walked into the hospital ward almost out of breath and held her hand reassuringly. It gave her the courage to want to give him that joy he deserves.It had only been a few months since they got married, but their bond had grown stronger since then; Liam could barely do without hearing her voice for hours. Amber, too, wouldn't hesitate to call L

Relief flooded Adrian's mind, and his countenance lightened up instantly; both Perchy Peach and Golden Fingers had made it up to the top three. He smiled inwardly as Liam had winked at him.He made it outside the door of the big conference hall, holding Caleb's hand in his, looking down at his son; he had grown more to take too many of his very visible features. Was the war over? Of course not, he knew it was still far from it.In a few weeks, they were going to gather, and the winner would be pronounced to the world. The thought of it gave him cold feet, but celebrating this smaller win is a priority now, according to Rissa's advice. They made for the car parked outside when a petite woman rushed over to him.“Mr Grey, I am sorry for stopping in your way. Can I invite you to a dinner…..alone?” she emphasized the last word, looking sternly at Rissa.Adrian couldn't help but scoff, hitting on him right in front of his girlfriend was an outright disrespect. He wondered if declining rud

*Flashback* Diane kept glancing nervously at Mr Smith, whose concentration was sorely on his driving; she had wondered if he was going to have a change of heart; she had murdered his daughter Sydney after all. She had stilled the moment she sent a bullet flying into Mr. Denver's skull without thinking twice about it; why had he kept her alive? She wondered desperately. “If you are wondering why you are alive, you just had to fit into my sob story to get out of Los Angeles unscratched,” Mr Smith said without looking at her. “What story?” She questioned suspiciously in a barely audible whisper. “A father whose daughter was framed for fraud, and needs to lead her to safety,” the man said in a cold voice. Oh! Diane sank back in the car seat; it all made more sense; the immunity he had granted her lasted till they got out of Los Angeles. She knew she had to be prepared, but for now, she was safe. She breathed in dejectedly; her brain was literally shut off; she wasn't saved because
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-22Stolen heaven Chapter 150: Dinner At The Funeral
Mr Zurich's extended family sat with their hands crossed; a few minutes before the tragic incident, they had jumped up excitedly at the news that their company, Glass Brass, had made it effortlessly to the top three companies in the competition.They had prepared a grand dinner to welcome back the family with enthusiasm when the news of their tragic demise spread like wildfire. None of them had survived the car explosion, even the two children were burnt beyond recognition.The atmosphere in the air was stiff; Diane sat in between them, having a good time of her life, pretending to share their empathy. She showed up bearing gifts and condolence money which the family tried to refuse until she insisted vehemently.She downed a big bowl of the burial food, basking in the joy of it; her assistant Rosa looked over at her but kept to herself; she wouldn't want to cross the devil's way.“What are you thinking staring intently at me like that, did you just see the devil?” Diane questioned te

“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

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

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 200: Coolness Of Our Eyes
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

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

*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

“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

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

“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
