A large boulder was thrown and the bodyguard hastily nodded it.Liam Hickson watched agape as the bodyguard fell and lost consciousness.His eyes widened in shock as the painful reality dawned on him.The boulder was aimed at him initially, if it had hit him, he would be spending the next few weeks in the emergency unit.He quickened his pace as the other bodyguards kept shielding him except one who was attending to their fallen colleague.Some Paparazzi rushed forward to block his way, but he and his bodyguard fought through the crowd, giving him a chance to escape.“Block all the other entrances, they must not come through”, Liam barked the orders desperately.He got to the elevator and made for his office floor.Immediately he got in, he threw himself on the sofa and heaved a deep sigh.Liam picked up the phone and dialled a contact.“What is the situation over there?” He asked worriedly.“We are managing it, Mr Hickson. The hospital security personnel were also of assistance”, the

“I am so ashamed of myself for accusing Perchy Peach CEO”“I am so pissed at Golden Fingers right now”“I will never restock their drink ever!”Rissa read through the comments on the social media with mixed emotions.She walked up to Adrian who wore an expressionless gaze.“Public sympathy is in your favour”, she said calmly.“Why does that make me feel uneasy?” Adrian responded sincerely.“I am baffled, too; who else apart from you is aware of this?”.“I can't be so sure, my grandfather was a man of few words”, Adrian responded, baffled.“To say he or she is even aware of the evidence you have in your hand”, Rissa pointed out desperately.Adrian gave it a thought but he took his mind off it as fast as he could.“Babe, I have been having this head-splitting headache since last night. Can we talk about something else?” Rissa nodded slightly in agreement, knowing Adrian had had enough of the trouble already.“Mum called earlier; they just got back home. Thank you, babe”, Rissa said wit

“Mum, Miss Bernard is Alice’s mum”, Caleb said hastily, skipping pleasantries.“Manners young man”, Rissa said, giving him a disapproving face.“I am sorry, hello mum”, he responded instantly.Rissa hugged him lovingly and thanked the bodyguard who brought him back.“Who is Alice by the way?” Rissa questioned, confused.“Mum! You forgot my girlfriend; I am disappointed”, Caleb said, pouting.Rissa rolled her eyes inwardly and drew him closer.“Okay, sorry, what about her?” She said smiling“It turns out our teacher, Miss Bernard, is her mum”, Caleb said enthusiastically.Rissa's memory resurfaced, and Miss Bernard hit on Adrian openly during the last encounter they had.“So did you give Miss Bernard the shoes?” Rissa questioned.“Not yet mum but her dad was scary, I guess Miss Bernard likes my dad because he is not scary, but Alice said you will hate dad if Miss Bernard likes him”Rissa busted into uncontrollable laughter surprised by the little kid analysing their life.“Your mum won

“To Liam Hickson, I would say all will be well”.Rissa said and smiled warmly at one of the kids rallying around her.Liam scoffed inwardly and picked up his spoon.He kept munching on his food hungrily quickening the pace.“You are going to get indigestion at this rate”.Amber said, watching him with a raised brow.He didn't respond to her because he knew better than to.Amber picked up her bag and stood up abruptly.“Well, I am not idle either, Mr Hickson; I am a CEO; I will see you later”.She turned to leave but Liam held her hand.“Thank you, Amber, I mean it”Amber smiled warmly and walked out without another word.Liam picked up his phone immediately and dialled a number.“How is my father doing?” he questioned.“He isn't yet awake, Mr Hickson, but his heartbeat remains steady”, the receiver responded instantly.“Okay, have you traced the blog's address?” Liam questioned with a huge lump in his throat.“Yes, but it was opened in a foreign country, China to be precise”, the rece

“Mr George!” Rissa shouted wide-eyed.“Miss me?” Mr George said mockingly.Mrs Robinson scoffed loudly “What is this dimwit doing here?” She muttered under her breath eyeing Mr George maliciously.“Well, I came as a well-wisher, aren't I even privileged to be one?” He said teasingly facing Rissa.“I guess you were well disguised enough that the security didn't recognize you”, Mrs Robinson said scornfully.“Ouch! That stings a bit, but let me ask you,” he said, turning to Mrs Robinson. “Am I a criminal now? From what I know, I am a free man; I only lost my job here; that's all”, he said grimly.“If you had any honour, to begin with, you would be ashamed to set your foot into Perchy Peach, you fucking traitor!” Mrs Robinson shouted at him.Mr George laughed hysterically “I can see you haven't gotten over me, too bad, the charges were dropped, weren't they?” Rissa was quiet for a while watching their duo banter with words.“Why did you do it?” Rissa asked calmly, out of the blue facing

Adrian sat in the front row, watching the international panelists do their job.His mind was muddled as he thought of what the results would eventually be.He watched them simultaneously penning down some things that were far beyond his line of vision.Flashes of camera light filled the air as the bloggers and reporters were busy taking their fill of it.Adrian had spent a fortune in inviting these highly sought-after panelists from the world food production Regulations.If their assessment of the new products developed turns out negative, it will have a negative impact on their already existing products in the market.It was a calculated risk he was taking as a businessman.Rissa was literally shivering on her seat so were the other members of the new product development department.This was the second day of their staff week and the most crucial of all.Adrian's keen eyes was focused on the bald panelists on the far left seat whose countenance remained blank.His eyes met Rissa's an

“Can I tell you a secret?” Rissa whispered seductively into Adrian's ears at the time that the elevator ding opened.They instantly tore apart out of sheer embarrassment; they stayed quiet as the amused look on the face of Mrs Robinson said it all.“Mr Grey, congratulations to us for today's victory, Miss Stonebridge has been breaking through the toughest boundaries”“Stop flattering me Mrs Robinson, I am starting to get shy”, Rissa said playfully.“She wasn't flattering you, Rissa; you have indeed been making us real proud”, Adrian said, taking them both by surprise.Rissa blushed furiously, Mrs Robinson left them and took the elevator while they went into Adrian's office holding hands.Liam couldn't help but scoff loudly as Rissa’s smiling face showed up on the internet again.“Perchy Peach has been taking their sweet time basking in the limelight because we got hit for a short time”.“Adrian Grey is a businessman, don't blame him”, Amber said, munching on an apple pie.“Aren't thos

“If Caleb wasn't in the picture, we probably…. would still have met and we would fall in love like this”.Adrian said, holding her hand in his and kissing it softly.Rissa blushed furiously “Then I would have been a perfect Cinderella twice”.Adrian didn't respond to that, without Rissa being the mother of his child.He had been smitten by her the first day he had seen her through the CCTV footage on her first day at work.Seeing her as his victim's mother and confirming she works with Perchy Peach further supported his belief in their twisted fate.“Your turn Adrian”, Rissa said smiling.Adrian's mind was clouded; tons of questions swirled around his subconscious mind, begging to be unleashed.“Were you deeply in love with him? I mean back then”, he asked shyly.“If you are referring to my ex-husband Liam, I was in love with him or let's say, I thought I was until his feeble mind got the best of what I thought we had”, Rissa confessed sardonically.Adrian was silent for a split secon

Stolen heaven Chapter 120: Lie To My Heart
Rissa locked herself in the restroom and cried her eyes out. Obviously, Adrian had listened to her voice message, but he didn't respond nor rush over to her office seeking her.Seeing that Sydney had walked into his office when she was about to leave, she couldn't get it out of her head that he could be having a steamy time with that wench!“What in God’s name is going on!” she muttered repeatedly, banging her hand on the wall.Was Adrian already tired of her now that he had met another that fit into his fantasy? Or had everything been because of Caleb from the onset?Confusion engulfed her, for the first time, another woman intimidated her effortlessly. She took another look at herself in the mirror and her eyes widened.Her flawless makeup had been ruined by tear lines. She wasn't about to become a spectacle if she walked out looking pitiful like that.The rapid change in Adrian continued to amaze her; a few weeks ago, they were both wrapped around each other, watching their only s
Stolen heaven Chapter 119: Take A Break
“Mr Grey, I am glad your company won my heart”“Thank you, Mr Winter, I appreciate this”, Adrian said enthusiastically.“Don't thank me, Sydney insisted you deserve it”Adrian scoffed inwardly while trying to maintain the pleasant look in his eyes. Sydney has been true to her word, obviously, which made Adrian more sceptical about it all.Every fibre in his body wishes to warn Mr Winter of the impending danger he is in, but he has people worth protecting. Sitting by Caleb's bedside, watching him sleep peacefully the previous night had given him more reasons to tread carefully.“I have to leave now; I have a flight to catch; Sydney will stay back and handle the rest”.Adrian shook Mr Winter's outstretched hand. But his mind kept throbbing endlessly on the fact that Sydney had played her cards right. She had totally fooled her adopted father to the brink.“It was nice having you around Mr Winter, I will be sure to come to visit when I come over to your country for vacation” “I will be

“If you keep staring at me like that, the steak will get burnt”, Sydney said nonchalantly.“Oh!” Adrian hastily reduced the heat of the grill and started dicing the steak.“You are not as dumb as the record suggests; I guess you figured it out already; you are different from Edward, your father”.“Is Mr Winter in on this too?” Adrian questioned suspiciously; at that point, he knew showing the fear in his heart would be a great weakness. He had to move along with the flow to save everyone he loved.“Mr Winter is my adopted father. I found my birth father a few years ago, and with this case, I have to prove to him that I am worth carrying his bloodline”, She picked up a fork and grabbed two diced steaks; she munched on them, savouring the taste.“What if he is using you?” Adrian questioned challengingly. Sydney laughed hysterically. “You care about me now? Do you think I am dumb enough not to have considered that? Well, I have proved useful too many times to be discarded”.“Okay, good l
Stolen heaven Chapter 117: The Guess Game
Adrian outstretched his hand towards Rissa offering her a sparkling clean handkerchief. Her inaction towards collecting it made him draw her into his embrace.“Let us be positive, the doctor assured us that he will be fine”.Adrian's soothing words didn't do much to help Rissa's darkened countenance. Her mind is focused on tearing Mr George and his accomplices into shreds.She hadn't imagined Caleb and her son becoming a victim of their cruelty; she had felt sympathetic towards other victims from the onset, but now the pain runs deeper.Adrian took the television remote and increased the volume hastily, he watched Caleb's face as he slept peacefully. His fatherhood bond tugged at his subconscious mind telling him to make sure the perpetrators pay.They were still focused on the drinks before it was unknown to them that the candies had been copied too.“What! One of the victims died already”, Rissa said jolting out of her sorrowful state. She looked over at Caleb praying desperately fo

“Mr Grey, you have a package”, Mandy said, handing it over to him.“Who would send a package here for you, aren't you supposed to get them at the mansion?”. Rissa said, handing him a fork. He picked an apple slice and munched on it.“Beats me”, he said nonchalantly while opening the package.A note fell off it and Rissa picked it up.“From your number one fan, I hope you like it, Mr Grey”. She read out.Adrian could feel the heat radiating from Rissa's eyes as she clutched the note tightly as if she were ready to punch its sender in the face.Adrian smiled inwardly; for some reason, this jealous girlfriend version of her intrigues him a lot; he hid his desire to rub it in her face as he knew she would draw back.The package came off, and sunscreen was seen as a gift. They exchanged confused glances and it hit Rissa. She turned the note in her hand to the back.“Seeing how smooth your skin is as a porcelain jar, use this to prevent any blemishes that might try to ruin it”.“Sydney!” Ri
Stolen heaven Chapter 115: Crushing On Mr Grey
“We have another problem, Mr Grey,” she said hastily, her side glance thrown in Rissa's direction.“What is it?” Adrian questioned suspiciously, hiding his agitation; what else is about to go wrong? Mr George was just apprehended now just when he had his first breath of fresh air in hours, another problem has surfaced already.“That …that…”, she started.“Stop stammering already; we are all adults”, he said, referring to her walking up to his romantic moment with Rissa; after all, their relationship is public already.“I am sorry, Mr Winter just showed up unannounced”, she said at last.Adrian jumped up instantly with widened eyes, Rissa felt uncomfortable standing there watching them cluelessly.“Who is Mr Winter?” She questioned suspiciously.“A moneybag who could elevate the company but is very vicious and picky before investing, this impromptu visit puts us at a disadvantage”, Adrian rambled on feeling dejected.“Mr Grey, I think you should come now, we cannot keep him waiting and
Stolen heaven Chapter 114: Make A Wish
Adrian's eyes widened in amazement, he had actually wished he could call on a fairy godmother as he usually imagined as a child. He was an adult now, such delusion could never solve his problems.But Alas! One has shown up all dressed stunningly turning all heads. He was tempted to rush out of his office as he stared intently at the CCTV footage where Rissa was surrounded by multiple paparazzi.She looked too confident to be calling whatever she was saying a bluff. Was her unexpected presence a solution or going to escalate the problems further?Whatever she was trying to do, he wasn't sure it would be effective except for her stunning look, which obviously had the best effect already.“Mr Grey, Miss Stonebridge has found us a solution”His secretary's words jolted him out of his depressed state. He didn't care about being classy and rushed down the stairs to the front door of Perchy Peach where Rissa was being interviewed.“As I had said earlier, those are the differences, check it o
Stolen heaven Chapter 113: Pretext Of Attention
“What do I want? So annoying when you ask in that manner” “What do you want Mr George?” Adrian questioned again; this time, his voice was firmer and dangerous. “Wow! So scary, well if you must know the only desire I have is to watch your company crumble”, Mr George said laughing awkwardly. Adrian resisted the urge to punch him in the face. This definitely was a bigger conspiracy, obviously; Mr George wasn't capable of orchestrating such alone. “Tell your sponsor that you make a great puppet, smart move on his part, someone would have to take the fall eventually…. someone easily dis..pen..sable”, Adrian said, smiling wickedly and taunting him. One of the few tricks he had picked up in his years as an actor. He stared intently into George’s eyes, his furrowed brow satisfied Adrian. Obviously, his trick had hit a nerve. “I am nobody's puppet! We are into a respectable partnership agreement, and we both have equal rights”, he responded defensively, crossing his arm over his chest.
Stolen heaven Chapter 112: Shattered Mirage
Adrian locked hands with Rissa who put her ear gently on his broad chest. It feels like home, very homely, but it was too good to last a century.Adrian stared blankly at her, hoping desperately the world could be in favour of all their wishes. Everything was going on fine, so smoothly that he was feeling quite uneasy about it all.Tracy had committed suicide in prison after leaving a note stating she had gaslighted Bianca Grey and Diane Donaldson to do her bidding.They both got out unscratched after paying a meagre fine. Bianca left Los Angeles willingly after apologizing to those she had hurt, and Diane disappeared into thin air.Adrian couldn't be sure of how Liam Hickson handled the evidence he gave him secretly. But Golden Fingers seems to be back in all its glory, fiercely competing with Perchy Peach in the market.The only thing that reminds me of the scar of the battle is that Adrian insisted Rissa stay in his apartment, and this time around, she didn't refuse.The happiness
