Stolen heaven Chapter 34: Surprise! Surprise!
" Aren't you supposed to stop me from playing video games for hours? Isn't that what babysitting is about?" Caleb asked Mandy yawning lazily." Boy! I agreed to babysit you my way, not your mum's," Mandy said, shrugging her shoulder with her focus on the cortex she was applying on her legs." I think I like your own way,” Caleb said enthusiastically, picking up candy from a pile he had already munched on." Well, I guess I will make a terrible mother after all”, Mandy responded nonchalantly.“Of course, you will make a terrible mum”, Caleb responded, showing off his missing tooth.Mandy laughed hysterically, scaring Caleb, but she threw him a reassuring smile."Your accent is funnier than your blunt remarks Caleb," she said, pinching his chubby cheeks.Caleb's eyes were focused on the video game for much longer till a knock at the door distracted him." That must be mum," he said excitedly and rushed to the door.He felt a pang of disappointment when the door swung open, and a tall, f

Rissa picked up a bunch of flowers and wiped it over Diane's shocked pale face." How dare you!" She screamed out her lungs staring intently into her face." I am sorry, Rissa, it just happened”, Diane shouted back and busted into uncontrollable tears.Liam stood in the distance, watching their brawl with less interest, and crossed his arm over his broad chest." I trusted you; how could you marry my lover?" Rissa shot back." You betrayed him first, remember? Now he belongs to me”, Diane responded swiftly, wiping off her tears and walking into Liam's outstretched hand.She kissed him on the lips, and Rissa rushed over to attack her when she felt shaken, and Caleb's voice rang in her ear." Mum! Mum! Mum!" Caleb called out rubbing his sleepy eyes.Rissa jolted up from her dream, her conscious mind felt bad for her silly dream." What was revenge going to serve me," she muttered to herself." Mum, I want to use the restroom," Caleb cried out sleepily. Rissa picked him up and ushered hi

Diane placed a small book on her lap and scribed some words on it.She smiled satisfactorily as everything seemed to pleasure her. Her mouth twitched slightly as she thought of what else to pen down, but nothing else came to her mind.She opened her minute safe, put the small book into it, and locked it up instantly. A knock on the door jolted her out of her trance.She quickly rushed to the door and turned the knob, to her dismay, Rowen stared intently at her disdainfully." It took you long enough," he said with a hint of anger in his tone." Father, I didn't know you were back,” she said, smiling pleasantly although she felt the opposite." Were you hoping I don't return?" Rowen responded hastily getting bored of their conversations." Of course not; I am pleased to see you back, Hale and hearty.Rowen scoffed loudly, turning his back on her "I didn't come for a chitty chat; I was told you took some days off at work; are you pregnant?" he questioned bluntly." Unm... father..no,

Adrian paced endlessly as the child was wheeled into the emergency unit." Mr Grey, we found his mother, she had been contacted," Doctor Snow said reassuringly and walked out of the waiting room swiftly.Adrian's heart thumped loudly, and he ruffled his lustrous hair, desperately hoping the media hadn't got wind of the unfortunate situation.His driver and butler also stood by his side, quavering guiltily; he didn't bother to spare them a glance as his mind kept praying desperately for the child to survive.Doctor Snow rushed out of the emergency unit "Mr Grey, we need an urgent blood donation for the child, he has lost too much blood and his type isn't in our blood bank at the moment" Adrian didn't think twice before responding immediately, "Test us if you can find his match". His hasty decisions surprised Doctor Snow, who, without delay, sent their blood samples to the laboratory for testing.Mr Black, the butler, was hesitant but concurred eventually with a sharp threat from Adria

"So it was you?" Rissa questioned glaring at Adrian while pacing endlessly in Doctor Snow's office.Adrian was agape as he kept staring blankly at the paper he was holding."Is...is there a possibility of the result being wrong?" he asked, facing Doctor Snow, whose countenance remains unshaken."Mr Grey, I can assure you it was accurately done," Doctor Snow responded firmly.Adrian sat back on the chair, dejected; how was this any way possible? Fathering a child he does not know of.Before he could gather his thoughts, Rissa faced him angrily “You ruined my life and marriage!" She said it with so much hate and spite.Her words juggled Adrian's dwindled memory, he had dreamt of a woman telling him the same thing."It was you! Room 302 Charleston Hotel, November 3rd, seven years ago," Adrian rambled on wide-eyed.Before he could complete his words, Rissa smacked him across the face and walked out angrily.Doctor Snow was perplexed witnessing the awkward situation, especially for a man l

"I am sorry I was late Mr Stockholm," Adrian said with a pleasant smile and shook the other man's hand."It is fine Mr Grey, the dinner is just about to commence," Mr Stockholm responded pleasantly.Mr Stockholm's bodyguard opened the door for Adrian, and he walked in swiftly with his head up high; his domineering aura took over as the domestic staff bowed slightly at his presence.He walked past them into the spacious dinner hall decorated with a shimmering interior."Mr Grey, you are welcome," numerous prominent personalities were greeting him the moment he walked in and he kept shaking their hands politely.Despite every fibre of his being, he would have rather spent more hours staring into Caleb's mesmerizing eyes.His smile faltered when he saw Liam Hickson who pretentiously reached out to honor his presence."Welcome Mr Grey," he said in an icy cold voice despite the mockery smile plastered on his face."I know you are familiar with each other already, Mr Grey, and here is Mrs D

Rissa stole a glance at Adrian as he passed by, she hid behind the bronze statue at the front entrance of Perchy Peach.It is still unbelievable for her after two weeks that her son's accident perpetrator was his father and her boss.She watched the staff and security personnel bow slightly as he walked in.To be honest, Adrian Grey's aura was really domineering and authoritative.She closed her eyes at the memory of smacking him across the face at the hospital."Miss Stonebridge, are you okay?" she heard Mr George say.Adrian stopped in his stride and looked towards the direction of the voice.Rissa closed her eyes in embarrassment and surfaced from behind the bronze statue."Yes....I ..am fine, Mr George," she responded, stuttering.To talk about wrong timing! Mr George always had it."Good morning Mr Grey," Mr George said quavering as he noticed the CEO's presence.Rissa bowed slightly still embarrassed "Good morning Mr Grey," she said and bit her lower lips.Adrian smiled coyly ob

Liam kept picking drinks from different manufacturers and checking through their ingredients before throwing them into his shopping cart.It was his usual periodic habit of tailing their competitors and tracking new products and acceptability.He picked up a can of drink and was about to throw it in the cart when a child ran towards him, and the drink fell from his hand to the floor.Caleb stopped in his stride with guilt written all over him; he picked up the can and handed it over to Liam. "I am sorry," he said, scared of the intimidating figure in front of him.Liam, sensing his unease, bent slightly to meet with his shorter height and ruffled his hair lovingly."It is fine, young lad; you want a drink?" he said, smiling.Caleb didn't respond as Rissa had warned him sternly against taking things from strangers.Liam smiled and stretched out his hand with two cans of drink, gesturing towards him.Caleb collected it reluctantly and ran back, disappearing to the third row of the depar

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
Stolen heaven Chapter 136: Love Me Again
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
