Stolen heaven Chapter 70: Irresistibly Smitten
“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

“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

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

Rissa rolled her eyes and walked out of the living room.Adrian smiled inwardly at her ignoring his taunt.Her attitude had returned the taunt, the unsaid word “The joke is on you Adrian”He smiled at Caleb who jubilated that his dad was going to sleep over.“Dad, I will sleep in the room with you, Mandy could share with Mum”Rissa hastily rushed back the moment Caleb expressed his wish.She almost fell but quickly adjusted her stance.Adrian noticed but pretended not to; he knew mocking her wasn't for tonight.“Big guy, there are five rooms in the apartment so there is no need for Mandy to manage with mummy,” Adrian assured him.“Well, great then, Mandy sleeps in one room, Mum sleeps in another, and I sleep in a room with Daddy”, Caleb corrected.Rissa eyed him maliciously, making Adrian laugh.“Why are you laughing dad?” Caleb questioned with a confused expression.Rissa pretended to be focused on her phone while throwing shades at Adrian who was enjoying the torturous effect of it

The ferocious blaring of the alarm nettled Rissa.She felt like throwing it across the room but she held back.She could hear Adrian's faint whisper from the doorway “Don't disturb her Caleb, come with me”Rissa couldn't care less, she needed this long sleep.“Thank God we chose a weekend!” she thought inwardly.Her stomach grumbled impatiently and she knew it couldn't wait any longer.Breakfast was something she had always taken seriously.She sat up and smiled warmly staring at a tray set up in front of her.How thoughtful of Adrian, she managed to drag herself off the bed.Her body felt heavy from the impact of Adrian's favour.She managed to stand up and brush her teeth.The lingering sensation of the soreness between her legs haunted her.She blushed sheepishly thinking about it all.Just like it was eight years ago, he had crawled up to her in bed.She woke from her nap into ferocious kisses and smooching.Only this time she wasn't expecting Liam Hickson.It was the right man th

“Aren't we supposed to be strangers now? Why are you stalking me?” Liam questioned Diane.Diane didn't respond immediately, her focus rested on his left hand.Liam held a brown envelope which he clutched to himself.“You are still the same, gullible-minded as ever”Diane's spiteful words nettled him, but he struggled for control.“You haven't changed either, sly bitch” he responded swiftly.Diane smiled coyly unfazed by his words.“Why are you here?” he asked in an icy cold voice.“To help you”, she responded calmly, maintaining eye contact with him.“Do I look like I need your help?” “Of course you do, don't deny it, Adrian is a stronger opponent than you are in all ramifications”Liam scoffed loudly “How does that turn out to be your headache?”“Because Golden Fingers is…..” she started.“Can you get out of his face bitch! We have something better to discuss” Diane turned back to see Amber walk up to them.The crowded street made her hold herself back.She would have wanted nothin

Rissa hugged Stella tightly as she felt tears trickling down her eyes.Adrian stood behind them smiling pleasantly.He knew she would be overwhelmed by the surprise.He had reached out to Abraham to check up on the family and he invited them over with faith.He was excited when Abraham returned the call to inform him of their intention to visit Los Angeles.Rissa disentangled herself from her mother and hugged Abraham with affection.Caleb rushed into Stella's arms, screaming excitedly.“Grandma! Grandpa!” Stella happily hugged him while Abraham ruffled his hair vigorously.“You have added a lot of healthy weight; Los Angeles is so good on you, pumpkin,”, Abraham said playfully, and they all laughed.Rissa collected the baby from Abraham who released him despite him wiggling from the change of hands.“Where is his brother?” Rissa questioned.“Taking a peaceful nap in his crib” Stella responded.In all the bubbling reunion, Mandy just stayed behind and watched them fascinated.She had

“Are you sure you will be okay babe?” Adrian asked with genuine concern as Rissa turned the car door.Rissa gave him a reassuring smile and kissed his lips gently.She turned back to face the crowded paparazzi that had stationed themselves meticulously outside Perchy Peach.Adrian was used to the life of being harassed by the camera.It was nothing new to him, but for Rissa, he was having cold feet.She had stubbornly insisted on showing up at the company that morning alongside him.There was nothing secretive again, the whole world already knew they were an item.Caleb, accompanied by two bodyguards, went to school, and Mandy was home keeping their guests company.They alighted from the car and the paparazzi rushed out to them.To Adrian's surprise, Rissa held her head up high, her confidence top-notch; her defiant gaze made him almost smile despite himself.“Mr Grey, was there any reason why Mr Hickson was on his way to seek you out?” a brunette reporter questioned.Adrian scoffed “

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

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
Stolen heaven Chapter 198: To Call Your Bluff
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

“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
Stolen heaven Chapter 196: Who You Were
*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
Stolen heaven Chapter 194: Blinded By Greed
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
