Stolen heaven Chapter 19: Second Chance At Life
Rissa sat with her hands crossed over her chest, watching Luke and Matthew carrying Stella's luggage.It has been two months after her first visit and being true to her words, she had quit her job and moved in." That was the last one, Miss Stonebridge”, Luke informed her, breathing heavily."Thank you, Luke”, Stella said excitedly as she unpacked one of the gigantic boxes.Rissa rubbed her protruding bump out of habit; she looked over at her phone and checked Diane's last message, which was over two months ago.She had woken up to use the restroom when she dropped her a text stating that she was thinking about her.To Rissa's bewilderment, after she responded, Diane blocked her access to her, which she found unusual." You should have informed Abraham, too," Mariah said to Stella, pouting.Stella's pompousness wouldn't let her as she likes to believe she was independent." Help me with the fruit”, Stella said to Mariah, feigning ignorance at her word relating to Abraham.Deep down, s

" You cannot be resting at a crucial time like this, Miss Stonebridge,” the Asian supervisor shouted nettled. " I am sorry… was ...I mean I got lightheaded," Rissa pleaded desperately The man eyed her with disdain, and he stormed out of the processing department, muttering inaudible words to himself. Rissa nodded her head pitifully, and she felt tears brewing behind her sardonic eyes. " Ignore him, Rissa; he is a sadist who despises everyone else but himself," an older colleague said reassuringly, and they both laughed. " Thank you granny" Rissa responded pleasantly " Take all the time you need, young lady; he is just an awful jerk who knows nothing about pregnancy,” another woman contributed. Rissa's mood lifted slightly as she felt the loving support all around her, she joined the fruit processing department as a contractual manual worker to earn a weekly wage. She stood up abruptly as she noticed the Asian supervisor walking back into the department. He walked so

" Yes, I do”, Diane screamed excitedly, ignoring the scoff from the back seat in the mini hall.Her focus was sorely on her groom; she had finally done it, and she had become Mrs Hickson." I pronounce you man and wife,” the priest said enthusiastically, and applauses rained at the moment.She couldn't wait to be told as she latched on to Liam and kissed him fervently.Her mind drifted back to all the humiliating moments she had to endure to have Liam to herself.She even went as far as employing her devilish cunningness to become Mrs Hickson in place of poor sloppy Rissa Stonebridge.Liam felt so overwhelmed that he just kept smiling while reciprocating her loving moment.It was his second time in less than a year to hold a wedding, his wedding.He was glad he had avoided the bloggers and reporters getting wind of the wedding.Even that very morning his company just took down a post from an anonymous blogger on the rumor of him getting married.He had promised Diane he would keep her

Matthew fixed his gaze on Rissa as his lips quivered. “Aren't you late for your music class?" his granny said, eyeing him suspiciously." I will leave soon”, he responded, avoiding her grandma's laser-eyed stares." Pass me the rag, Matthew”, Rissa said suddenly, which caught him unaware; he quickly picked up the rag with lightning speed and handed it over to Rissa, feeling pleased with himself.Rissa looked at him but kept on dusting the shelves in the pharmacy, but Matthew remained fixated on the spot, shivering slightly." Spill it, you are making me uncomfortable”, Rissa screamed at him and his grandmother laughed hysterically.Without a word, she walked out on both of them to tend to her cat." I...I .. want to say...it was just a....r.. rumour," he stuttered, avoiding Rissa's intense gaze." I don't understand," Rissa said confused " I...mean Golden Fingers CEO's ... wedding”, he said, throwing her a side glance.Rissa's countenance darkened but she pretended to be unaffected.

" Then he is a virgin, aren't you?" She turned to Luke who was too embarrassed to respond.To further worsen the situation, Rissa couldn't hold in her laughter at the moment, which further made it unbearable for Luke.He ran out avoiding the question. The girl looked stunned initially but smiled knowingly." He is so cute, isn't he?" the girl said to Rissa, giggling like a teenager.Rissa just smiled back pleasantly, she didn't know how to handle the awkwardness of the moment." I think I want to date him,” she said playfully, walking out of the pharmacy in haste, leaving Rissa's dropped jaw." She definitely has to be one of the city spoilt brats; even her accent is woke”, Rissa said, feeling a pang of jealousy at her boldness.Luke was truly breathtakingly good-looking despite the fact he was born and groomed in the countryside.His caring and innocent personality makes him an amazing catch too, but Rissa knew better than to get carried away by that.Rissa saw that PimPim made its

Abraham hastily pushed open the doors of the pharmacy with the old pharmacist lying unconsciously in his arms.The women were at his heels, panicking along with Matthew and Luke, her grandsons." We need to get her to the hospital in the next town now!" Stella shouted in awe." That is too far away, she wouldn't make it!" a tiny voice screamed, and all heads turned in the direction of the voice.To Rissa's surprise, that was the same lady who bought a leg cramp cream a few hours ago." Let me check her out first; I am a medical student,” she shouted convincingly.Abraham and Stella exchanged looks as Luke also nodded in affirmation. Mrs Wilson was already paling out, and they knew the risk of not getting her medical attention instantly could not be underestimated.Abraham placed her on a slab in front of the pharmacy, and the lady performed some first aid on her, which, to their surprise, awoke her consciousness." She is awake!" she announced proudly as everyone gathered around her

" Do you know him?" Camela's question hit Rissa as they walked on after escaping the wrath of their supervisor." No…I don't; he only reminds me of someone", she said, smiling sardonically.Her mind drifted off to the first day she met Liam at Golden Fingers; the moment he walked in, all heads turned in his direction, including hers.It felt like the world stood in stance for a while, and right then, she knew she had fallen in love with him.Camela tapped Rissa gently, jolting her out of her trance. "I said he is drop-dead gorgeous though". Rissa just smiled sadly; Camela wasn't exaggerating with that; the aura the man emits outweighs that of even Liam Hickson.They both walked into their changing room and wore their work boots and safety clothes." I bet he has tons of girls dying to date him, as I am also smitten," Camela said in hoarse whispers, and Rissa laughed." I know he is out of my league; let me keep fantasizing”, she added jokingly." I didn't say anything" Rissa shrugge

The antidepressant fell out of Rissa's grasp as she felt a sharp pain in her pelvis, she stilled on the spot as she felt liquid trickling down her legs.Her heart thumped loudly at the thought of what could be wrong as she managed to look down in between her legs to see the water trickling down it.She had immersed herself deeply in the bookish knowledge of the inexperienced childbirth enough to know what that means.Mrs Wilson picked up the drug and put it on the shelf with her trembling hands, where Rissa was about to arrange it." Is anything the problem?" she asked as her countenance was laced with concern " Granny! the baby! I think the baby is coming," she shouted as she felt another round of pain.Mrs Wilson's eyes widened immediately as she scrunched out immediately to call on Stella. Her blurry sight made making calls difficult for her.Rissa placed her right hand over her stomach and breathed in and out while the contractions lasted.She had read that it lessens the pain; w

Stolen heaven Chapter 138: Entrap Me, Miss Wilson
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
Stolen heaven Chapter 137: To The Battlefield
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

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
Stolen heaven Chapter 135: Caught Unaware
The evening wind blew in Rissa's face allowing her to inhale the healing nature has to offer. She slightly touched the strangle mark on her neck as her mind drifted to it.“Are you okay?” Adrian questioned worriedly. Her quietness had made him uncomfortable and he blamed himself for risking her life by bringing her to the party.“Who would be okay after a conversation with the devil”.Rissa said sarcastically and Adrian laughed. They had all exchanged uncomfortable looks when Mr Denver had requested that they hand over something of his in their possession.Amber had discreetly drawn out her dagger from her undergarment in case they got attacked right there, but to their surprise, Mr Denver laughed hysterically and called his word a sick joke.The joke was really depressing in reality!He had left their table afterward and focused his attention on mingling with other guests. Relief flooded their minds, and they planned their quick exit before they got whisked into something dangerous t
Stolen heaven Chapter 134: Hello Mastermind!
The older man chuckled softly as the reaction he got from them was exactly what he was hoping for. Adrian exchanged knowing looks with Liam who was as taken aback as he was.“Seeing the top two business Mongols and competitors sticking side by side, Miss Donaldson must really be something”.“We are…..” Amber tried to cut in, but Liam stopped her discreetly. Obviously, they aren't at a tea party trying to gain ground. This mastermind is unknown, they shouldn't match up to him yet.“Oh, Miss Wilson, I heard your parents passed away last year; my condolences.”Amber swallowed hard; who the hell was this man? He seemed to be conversant with them so well that he acted so familiar, yet they had never met him before. Amber was not the type to be big on surprises, and she most definitely hated this particular one.“Do you run a company too?” Adrian's voice came through; he tried to sound confident and firm despite his heart thumping loudly in his chest.“Nah! I don't like the business world;
Stolen heaven Chapter 133: The Uninvited Guests
With another glance at the mirror, Diane felt proud of herself; a few times she visited an exquisite spa, her skin was glowing and radiant once again. The makeup artist had done a flawless job which made her look beyond perfect.It was her day, she kept reminding herself despite knowing her birthday party was a mere facade. It was a gathering of murderers hiding behind the mask of the law.“Miss Donaldson, the party is about to commence”, Her personal assistant reported to her.“Thank you Bridgette”, she responded enthusiastically. The fair-skinned petite girl bowed slightly and left.Being a puppet ain't all that bad, unlike Sydney, who tried to play the princess; Diane knew her place better and was ready to stick to it. She definitely owes them her life for getting out of her crime unscratched.Strangely enough, her victim committed suicide out of guilt for framing her in the first place. His suicide note was detailed enough to include that piece of information.Diane stood up abrup
Stolen heaven Chapter 132: Blown Out Of Proportion
“Everything looks unusually quiet”, Rissa said tapping her feet as she was feeling uneasiness from the pit of her stomach.Adrian moved close to her and wrapped his arms around her curvy hips seductively, he lifted her chubby cheeks to face himself and looked into her eyes.It has been a month since his discharge from the hospital and his horny feeling has almost been blown out of proportion. Rissa had denied him intimacy on the ground that he wasn't healed enough yet. He was more than thrilled to return to her that day after his checkup to share the news of his full recovery and hopefully make love to her.To make matters worse, he had returned to meet Rissa dressed the part as the short dress she had on had accentuated her shape and barely left anything to the imagination. He knew the feeling had been mutual but Rissa was always more logical than he was in that regard.“Can we not think about that for a second?” he whispered into her ears seductively, and she smiled inwardly.Sensin
Stolen heaven Chapter 131: Fallen Jezebel
Rissa reached into the bag and adjusted the brown jacket to fit in properly before zipping it shut. She had insisted on packing up Adrian's luggage, resisting the bodyguard’s helping hand. Two weeks of watching him recover from his near-death had left her with a form of clinginess to him.They were finally leaving the hospital premises discreetly, but Adrian's countenance suggested he wasn't happy which was really strange.“Is anything the problem babe?”“Not really, I am just baffled that the other party has been quiet for some time”.Rissa understood perfectly well, they were dealing with powerful opponents who wouldn't take defeat for an answer. Sydney was a mere weapon to them, if she had died, she could easily be replaced.Sensing his uneasiness, Rissa dropped the bag she was packing and wrapped herself around him gently, loose enough not to touch his wound. They both stood there for some seconds comforting each other in peaceful silence.“Let us look out for unmistakable foul pl
Stolen heaven Chapter 130: Make Up Your Mind
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
