Stolen heaven Chapter 40: Driven By Rage
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

Diane felt the hair on the back of her head stand as Liam's car zoomed in.She stood stiff to the spot hoping her sincerity could get to him.Liam alighted from the car, he was dressed in a casual Tee and jeans.“Liam,” Diane called out and rushed over into his arms.Liam didn't stop her, he just stood rooted to the spot.“I am sorry Liam,” she pleaded desperately.“Did you do that?” Liam questioned with a raised brow.“What?” Diane responded swiftly disentangling herself from him.“Rissa's son! Were you the anonymous source that reported it?” Liam questioned suspiciously.“I didn't,” she said unfazed.If Liam didn't know better, he would have believed her.But Diane was a lying fox, how could he discern her lies from the truth?“I want to have a conversation with you babe,” Diane said sweetly.“Don't call me that! It is disgusting,” Liam said and walked out on her.He entered the mansion and his gaze fell on the spot where broken glassware was.Obviously, Diane had tidied it up.He m

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
