Stolen heaven Chapter 38: Unsheathed Sword
"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

Diane sank into a seat facing Liam, who was being fed by the housekeeper before she walked in.The moment he saw her, he stopped eating and ordered the housekeeper to excuse them.She batted her long lashes pitifully, her eyes sunken from lack of sleep and tears.Liam scoffed loudly "I think I get it now”, he said, nodding his head weirdly."What?" Diana questioned quietly."You were always such a good actress, always the best at flowing in with each scene”, he said, staring at her dry, chapped lips."I don't understand, babe”, she stated and burst into tears."Aren't your boxes filled with tons of makeup?" he asked sarcastically.Diane touched her dry face "I...I couldn't; I am too depressed for that," she responded downcast.Liam clapped his hands together in mockery "Terribly great actress""Babe, I can explain…I want you to believe me, I know......" She started but Liam interjected hastily."Do you know what Rissa told me? She wished me many more happy years in ignorance," Liam re

"Sweetheart, he....you know what! We will talk about that some other time; Mr Grey has to leave," she said, flustered.Adrian took the clue instantly and offered to drive them back home, which Rissa rejected, but Caleb begged her to accept."Mum! he was telling me a story", he pleaded desperately.Rissa rolled her eyes "Fine”, and walked up to Adrian's car sitting in the hospital parking lot.They alighted in front of the house and Rissa took Caleb to the front pouch where Mandy was waiting."Mandy! The doctor said I am fit now!" Caleb screamed excitedly, and Mandy laughed."That is my superhero”, Mandy responded, playfully hugging him."Mandy, please take him in; I want to have a word with Mr Grey”, Rissa said, pointing towards Adrian's car.Adrian waved to Caleb and Mandy as they looked in his direction.Mandy blushed sheepishly, she moved closer to Rissa's ear and whispered to her."Go out with him if he offers; he is so damn handsome and wealthy!" she said, and Rissa laughed.Ma

Diane stood frozen on the spot. Was it a nightmare? She had better wake up fast.To her dismay, the blood loss didn't cease.She heard the siren of the ambulance van from afar and quickly rushed out to meet up with it.The moment the ambulance van stopped, she pretentiously fainted, which hastened the paramedics to attend to her.Some others went into the house and Rowen was wheeled out with oxygen to support his shallow breathing.Words spread fast across to Liam, whose mind was shattered at the unfortunate situation the Hicksons were in.The same day, Rowen had emergency surgery, which left him in a vegetative state."Mrs Hickson, I am sorry it is gone now," the sonographer said sardonically.Diane closed her eyes and wept loudly; she clenched her stomach, slashing at it."Easy, Mrs Hickson, I am sorry, but the gestational sac that I saw yesterday has emptied and disappeared completely, but not to worry, miscarriages aren't uncommon," she said, trying to console her.Diane scoffed l

"This situation is quite tricky Rissa," Stella responded dumbfounded."I know mum, I am as confused as you are," Rissa responded, her voice faltered the moment Caleb walked into the room."Are you on the phone with granny?" Caleb said enthusiastically.Rissa punched the speaker on the phone and Stella's voice echoed in the room."Sweetheart, I have missed you," she said joyfully."I miss you too granny, is grandpa home?" Caleb questioned."No, he is down at the cabin tending to the flowers," Stella responded "That reminds me, I think we might be leasing the cabin out to tourists for Christmas visits""Great idea, mum," Rissa responded, smiling."Granny, I met two nice men, Mum's boss, the other her friend," Caleb said.Rissa rolled her eyes as her mother busted out laughing, leaving to Caleb; he wouldn't mind them hosting Adrian every day.But Rissa knows better than to be led by childish fantasy, Adrian Grey is no average man, and she was not ready to allow Caleb to be tagged as his

Stolen heaven Chapter 72: I Have Got A Rich Dad
Miss Bennett’s jaw opened the moment a convoy of cars pulled up in front of the school.She watched, amused, as two male bodyguards in fitted suits emerged.The car in the middle was opened, and a brown well-polished, sophisticated shoe emerged.Her heart thumped loudly in her chest. “Please don't be Mr Grey”, she prayed silently.She opened her eyes slightly to confirm her unanswered prayer.It actually was Mr Grey, he alighted looking as elegant as if he was carved out of a magazine.She stared dreamily at him.Caleb jumped out of the car and latched onto his father's shoulder.At that moment she wished she was his mother.“Miss Bennett, good morning,” Adrian said, smiling pleasantly.Three bodyguards followed him closely behind.“Oh Mr Grey! Good morning, I am so delighted to have you here”, she responded blushing furiously.She used her left hand to pack her hair slightly backward.“Good morning Miss Bennett”, Caleb greeted excitedly.“Caleb dear, I hope you had a great night?” Sh

“To cap it all, the general acceptance of the product has greatly increased to seventy-five percent in two months”, the production manager concluded, maintaining eye contact with Adrian.Applauses sounded from the listeners except Adrian.All eyes were focused on him as he had spaced out blushing sheepishly.“Mr Grey”, Mrs Robinson called out, jolting him out of his trance.Adrian's face flustered as he felt embarrassed by his obvious foolishness.“Sorry!” He said hastily, “Well done, Mr Crane” he announced, and applause rained all out again.After the presentation, Adrian excused himself as he knew gossip would follow his behaviour instantly.Rissa's countenance earlier that morning had distracted his mind from the present.She had overslept and had her hair tangled.But strangely enough, she still looks really stunning regardless.Adrian couldn't sleep a greater part of the night before so he had left home early to pick Rissa up to the company.To his amusement, she hadn't expected

“It turns out it belongs to a ghost”, Adrian said with a bewildered look on his face.Mandy almost dropped the package in fear but she managed to gather it and set it down on the table.“What do you mean a ghost?” Rissa questioned calmly, trying not to get Caleb upset.Adrian looked over at Caleb who was nonchalantly unwrapping his dinner.“The registered owner of the phone line was murdered a few months ago”, Adrian explained in a low tone.Mandy swallowed hard; she felt her appetite dwindle, replaced with fear.Who could have sent her such a threatening message?“Whosoever had sent the message is definitely dangerous; we need to be careful”, Adrian said, ruffling his hair.Rissa sank into her chair in dismay; what the hell is going on?She looked over at Mandy who was chewing on her fingers.“Do you have anyone you suspect?” Rissa questioned rationally.“None that I think of Rissa”, she responded hastily as if she had been expecting the question.“It is fine, ladies, do not panic, I

“You are moving to my house, all of you!” Adrian said, pacing nervously.Rissa and Mandy exchanged surprised looks.“Are you kidding me!” Rissa shouted bewildered.“Yes! Yes! Yes!” Caleb shouted excitedly.“Wow! Your house?” Mandy questioned with a slightly raised brow.“Give me your phone, Mandy; I have reached out to my contacts earlier; we will trace the IP address of the sender, but in the meantime, I cannot risk it; you all have to move out for security”, Adrian rambled on impatiently.Liam's words rang loudly in his ears, infuriating him further.“I…I do not think that is necessary; we can put security in place, but moving..to your house will raise too many speculations we both do not need right now”, Rissa responded, baffled.Adrian understood her concerns perfectly well.“It is fine; I am not talking about the mansion if it would erase your concerns; I have an apartment in close proximity to Caleb's school and the company; since Mandy works remotely, It wouldn't be hard just t
Stolen heaven Chapter 68: The Love Triangle
The door flung open, and Rissa walked in wide-eyedShe hastily rushed up to Adrian who was still holding Liam down.“Adrian, please! Let go”, she said pleadingly looking into his raging eyes.Adrian's stance softened, and he got away from Liam, who was yet to get over the shock.“What that hell man!” Liam shouted angrily holding his bleeding nose.“Leave now Liam”, Rissa said calmly, throwing him a warning signal.Liam turned his back to leave despite every fibre in his body not wanting to.He wanted to get back at Adrian Grey for the surprise attack.“That was for sprouting a nonsense back story!” Adrian called behind him.Liam didn't turn back, he stopped in his stride for a few seconds but walked out eventually.He was in no mood to have a brawl with Adrian Grey.How did he end up in a love triangle with such an ill-tempered jerk?Adrian felt ashamed the moment his rage disappeared.Rissa's silent treatment since he left his office has been unsettling.She had saved Liam Hickson f

Adrian entangled himself in Rissa's body and kissed her hungrily.She giggled like a teenager, the moment Adrian had requested her presence after the meeting.She had been suspicious of his motive.“You got me glued over there! Babe! You are amazing!” he said enthusiastically.Rissa blushed furiously, his compliment had gotten her good.She had always gotten compliments on her divergent intelligence but hearing it from her lover.It was so superb!“I always got A+ in college”, Rissa responded playfully.“I don't doubt it, babe, you have been making me proud all the way”, Adrian said.He rested his hands on her lustrous hair and ruffled it gently.He brought her face close to his and kissed her again.Rissa didn't waste much time as she wrapped herself around him.She disentangled herself the moment she heard a knock on the door.She felt a pang of embarrassment, they had both forgotten it was working hours.Adrian adjusted his suit and hair so did Rissa.He made it in time to his seat
Stolen heaven Chapter 66: Displayed Intelligence
He felt sweat trickling down his back as he thought about her words.“Liam! You can never win against me”Diane's words had left a chill in him; he tried to call it a bluff, but unfortunately, Diane Donaldson doesn't bluff.“Are you okay son?” Rowen questioned suspiciously.“I am fine; sorry I got distracted for some time; where were we?” Liam said hastily.Rowen didn't question him further despite knowing something was bothering him.“He is a grown man, he should be able to deal with his shit”, Rowen thought inwardly.“Discard those copied products, I don't ever want to be at that impudent Adrian Grey's mercy”, Rowan said authoritatively.Liam scoffed silently “I believe that should be my call to make father; I am the CEO, aren't I?” He questioned with a raised brow.Rowen was taken aback by Liam's newfound confidence.He had only used the said confidence in taking a firm stand on marital aspects against him in the past but never in business.His passive nature had always baffled Row
Stolen heaven Chapter 65: Private Encounter
“How do you feel today Mr Hickson?” She questioned adjusting her eyeglasses.Liam's face scanned the whole room, and he felt an unusual sense of serenity within himself.“This place is homely”, he responded nodding approvingly.“That is the theme, to make it homely and welcoming to everyone”, she responded enthusiastically.“You mean everyone with problems”, Liam said teasingly but the woman didn't seem to mind.She smiled along with him, “I want you to be comfortable with me, Mr Hickson”.“Obviously I am, I don't waste my precious time aimlessly”, he said, maintaining eye contact with her.The woman stood up and moved to the far corner of the left wing of the spacious office.“Coffee or tea?” she questioned.Liam raised a suspicious brow, he was about to refuse when the woman interjected.“Most of my clients come visiting for my coffee even after the end of our sessions”, she said playfully.Liam laughed wholeheartedly “I see you have a sense of humour. l will try the supposed tan
Stolen heaven Chapter 64: Rising Against Asunder
Adrian felt a chill in his spine as he watched Rissa stiffen beside him.He wanted to console her but he was yet to get over the shock of what happened earlier that evening.Caleb watched their blank expression and busted into tears.Mandy hastily consoled him and put him to bed leaving the two adults to their thoughts.“Could this be a mere traffic accident?” Adrian said defensively, breaking the awkward silence in the room.Rissa couldn't respond, her troubled mind couldn't figure out her exact thoughts.It was brief but she tried flashing back at seeing a glint of excitement in the uncovered eyes of the biker.This does seem more intentional, but is there any way to prove that?“I need to get some sleep, so do you”, Rissa said calmly, avoiding eye contact with Adrian.Adrian, taking the cue, jumped up on his feet, kissed her goodbye and left.Wasn't he supposed to console her more? He wondered.He made it home and undressed hastily in his room.In the course of saving Rissa, he sus
