Stolen heaven Chapter 85: The Food Panelists
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

“Miss Donaldson, are going to continue living in denial?” the therapist said with a raised brow.“Denial! Denial of what exactly?”“Of the fact that your thirst for revenge supersedes your chance of forgiveness”, the therapist responded worriedly.Diane laughed hysterically, “I must say, you aren't a sham; no wonder Liam Hickson comes all the way here to you”.“Mr Hickson! You know him?” the older woman asked with a confused expression on her face.“Let's say, I do in the past”, Diane responded nonchalantly.The therapist heaved a deep sigh.“Are you his ex-wife?” She asked sternly.“See! You are really smart”, Diane said sweetly.“Are you here for a therapy session or to stalk him?” The woman asked calmly, maintaining eye contact with Diane.“Both actually”“If you will excuse me, Miss Donaldson, I have a place to be now”, the woman said, standing up abruptly.“I can see he had bad-mouthed me a lot to you”, Diane said.“I am not obligated to reveal to you my session with another cli

Liam crossed his legs and smiled widely scanning through the official invitation sent by Perchy Peach to him.He wouldn't have considered such a late offer if he weren't playing hooky with Adrian Grey's integrity.He looked over at his father's peacefully sleeping face and rage engulfed him.“Hang in there dad, I will show you my strength soon”He looked around the room and his eyes settled on several bunches of flowers that had been sent by well-wishersPeople are so gullible enough to fall for whatever they hear on the internet, he thought inwardly.He stood up abruptly and left the hospital ward.He had missed three scheduled therapy sessions already.Liam got into his car and zoomed off at high speed.He alighted in front of the building and walked in putting his initial worries all away.This was his safe haven, he thought inwardly.“Mr Hickson, it is such a pleasure to see you again”, the therapist said excitedly.“Thank you, I am sorry I cancelled our initial schedules thrice;

Rissa glanced nervously at her reflection in the mirror.Mandy had done a great job, no doubt, but it had been a long time since she had been a spectacle at a workplace dinner.During the time she was dating Liam, many of her female colleagues would throw her disdainful glare at the company dinner as Liam's eyes were always on her.Now it is Adrian Grey, a more fierce lover; she glanced nervously at the watch, picked up her phone and dialled Adrian's number.She heard Caleb scream from the doorway.“Mum, dad is here”Her mind felt at ease and she got up abruptly to see him.The moment Rissa walked out, Adrian's eyes widened, and his jaw dropped in awe.“Wow! Mum, you look so beautiful”, Caleb said enthusiastically.Rissa blushed furiously as Adrian's eyes scrutinized her from head to toe.He smiled warmly at her and Rissa blushed furiously.His silence and charming smile said more than words could express.They got into the car and he couldn't take his eyes off her.“You are already m

“That wasn't nice, Adrian. Am I not welcome in Los Angeles?” Bianca responded, pouting.“Sorry, Bianca, I was just quite overwhelmed; you can sit; the dinner is about to commence”, Adrian responded, forcing a smile on his face.Bianca Grey, his young Aunt, is always a load of trouble.The only good thing in her life was Gracia, the only daughter she had from her third marriage which crashed before the child was born.Bianca threw an intent gaze at Rissa who bowed her head slightly in greeting.Her countenance remains expressionless, and she looks away, giving Rissa an impression of doubting her likability.The dinner commenced and everyone threw away their grievances to enjoy it.Liam threw occasional glances in Rissa's direction but she ignored it.Rissa was getting more nervous as the dinner progressed.She took a sneak peek at Bianca whose boldness weirdly intimidates her.Exotic delicacies and drinks were served and people kept digging in.Most bloggers were taking significant pic

Caleb watched helplessly as their luggage got pushed into the car.“Mum! You said we will be leaving on the weekend!” He cried out bitterly.“Sweetheart, the week ends tomorrow, a day earlier doesn't change anything”, Rissa said persuasively.Mandy was silent as she watched her crush, one of the bodyguards loading the car truck full of their stuff.She knew Rissa had her mind all made up, ever since she returned from the dinner the day before.She has been hellbent on moving out so quickly.Mandy had to resist the urge to question her about what triggered the firmness of her decision.Caleb, too, noticed a change in his mother's countenance when they returned from the dinner.Rissa's mind wandered as she had to pretend to be excited about moving back to their home.Liam's outrightly provocative behaviour at the dinner still pisses her off.He had hugged her tightly while millions of eyes were glued on them.She noticed Adrian's balled fist the moment Liam pulled away from her.The awk

Stolen heaven Chapter 161: Can I Believe You?
Rissa clutched Caleb tightly in her grasp, not letting go; she kept weeping in agony, leaving Adrian no choice but to watch the scenario unfold as he helplessly stood there. Caleb yawned lazily and was startled by his mother's tears. He hugged her lovingly basking in her warmth.This was it, Diane Donaldson’s last straw, how dare she threaten his child! He gently patted Rissa's shoulder and helped Caleb's nanny to her feet; Martha's face was pale as if she had actually seen a ghost. She had prayed silently in her heart for a peaceful landing when she had the gun pointed at her skull.What average nanny gets to find herself on the bad side of gangsters? The three bodyguards woke up looking really tired, they straightened up out of embarrassment the moment they saw the murderous look on Adrian Grey's face.“What did you have in common, probably consume?” he questioned suspiciously with a slightly raised voice. The tallest of the trio kept fidgeting; he had suggested they order some gri
Stolen heaven Chapter 160: Used To Be There
There was no point in asking; Rissa knew Gracia's father was Bianca's latest boyfriend; who was she to judge? Her two close friends just dropped some bombshells about their love lives at their girl's time, and she still finds it difficult to wrap her head around them.She was out of Adrian's office when she got a video call from Camela who was beaming with smiles. “Girl! You look like you just got off a red carpet and won an award with that flawless makeup on your face”, Rissa said playfully and Camela blushed.“I went on the first date with my supervisor, apparently Rissa, he was really romantic than he let on”, Rissa laughed heartily, time indeed heals most wounds, two years ago, Camela had suffered from a messy divorce which left her really bitter, but now she looked happier, love is really great.“Congratulations, babe,” Rissa said blissfully; she tried to hide her own sorrow, but Camela was too quick to catch on. She questioned her about Diane's charade, and they spoke for much l
Stolen heaven Chapter 159: Flashlight
“Then you get to take a shower after killing the cockroach laced in your hair”. Diane laughed hysterically at the mere memory of the general’s word. She remembered how she had jumped up and ferociously pulled at her hair in a bid to get it out. Unfortunately, she just got herself fooled by the cunning bastard. Everything was going to be over soon. Finally, she was going to get her happy ending, which she had strived endlessly to achieve. Rosa had reported seeing Amber rushing into Perchy Peach and the scowl on her face a few minutes later when she exited. They must have had a bone to pick. She made for her wine cellar and brought out the best there is but she didn't have the flair to pour more than a few glasses, she had to disconnect her spy recorder in Rosa's car that minute, she was tired of hearing her moans while on missions, Mr George seems to have been digging her right. Mr Smith was right; coming back to Los Angeles was a difficult task for her, having to hide from raising
Stolen heaven Chapter 158: To Our Esteemed Guest
“Don't you think we should…..”The door opened, cutting Rissa off her word; Amber rushed him; she looked unkempt and uncomposed, and both Adrian and Rissa looked stunned. It took them quite some time to react to her presence.“Mrs Hickson, this is a…..it's a pleasure to see you.. please have a seat”, Adrian offered.“I know all too well that it is not a pleasant meeting, not at a time like this, but I have no choice.” Amber burst into uncontrollable tears, and Rissa moved closer to console her. Even at the most dangerous moments, she had never been this shattered.“Mrs Hickson, what is going on?” Adrian questioned suspiciously.“Liam is being blackmailed”, she said, dabbing her tears with a handkerchief.“By Diane?” Rissa questioned suspiciously.“Not her; he tells me everything about her moves, but this was an anonymous person.”Rissa felt a pang of stabbing jealousy at Amber's words; Liam hadn't been the type to hide things, unlike Adrian, who was prone to. She wished he never had t
Stolen heaven Chapter 157: Deliberately Misunderstood
Mandy hugged Caleb for the umpteenth time. She felt herself moved to tears, and it took all of her self-control to hold it back. Caleb was sulking, too; he had really gotten used to Mandy's presence for the few days that her departure was about to leave a void in him.His mother, Rissa, had been quite…..distracted these days that she barely had time for him. Also, his father's business was at a huge turning point; he had been keeping himself company with the numerous video games, but right now, he was getting bored.“Don't worry, pumpkin; I will come to visit soon with a lot of chocolate.” Mandy's reassuring smile did little to cheer him up, he nodded innocently. “Now baby, you wouldn't want Aunty Mandy to miss her flight, will you?” Caleb nodded in affirmation and shifted back into Rissa's embrace. He kept waving goodbye till she was out of his view.Rissa's eyes were glued to Mandy's departure, she felt sad but also was happy that nothing negative had happened during her stay in Lo
Stolen heaven Chapter 156: For All Our Sake
Rissa felt her cheeks heating up; she opened her eyes slightly as Adrian kissed her lips gently. It feels great every time, she thought inwardly. She wrapped her arms around him in a bear hug, pouting innocently. He looked into her eyes and laughed heartily. Rissa Stonebridge sure is full of surprises.“I got you some gifts”, Adrian said with a charming smile plastered on his face.Rissa disentangled herself from him; her eyes shot up; what was the occasion? It wasn't even her birthday. She turned her head to her bedside and saw a crowded bunch of wrapped gifts, Just looking at them from a distance, she knew he must have spent a fortune.“What is the occasion, Mr. CEO?” she said teasingly.“Nothing special; I just achieved my aim of seeing a sweet smile on my girlfriend’s cute face,” he said, squeezing her cheeks playfully. Rissa rolled her eyes and laughed “I am everything but cute! Nah, I am way past that, thanks to being thirty”.He hugged her tightly and kissed her cheeks; Adrian
Stolen heaven Chapter 155: Something Dumb To Do
Mandy waved enthusiastically and Caleb rushed into her arms. They both couldn't contain their joy; she hadn't had a video call with him in weeks, and it felt like years; she almost got thrown on her back by his huge hug. Rissa walked up to her smiling pleasantly.“Caleb is all grown; I almost fell on my butt from his hug.”Caleb laughed as he disentangled himself from her. Rissa hugged Mandy, too, and kept on blabbing about the jet lag and how she was craving a cold shower and some home-cooked meals. She reached into her pocket and handed over a chocolate box to Caleb which he collected enthusiastically.“You have lost a few pounds, Mandy. Have lectures been stressful?” Rissa questioned worriedly.“Very stressful, but I love it, it keeps me on my toes, and I only have one more year to endure the hard part.”Rissa nodded in understanding and they all walked out of the airport beaming with smiles. Mandy had called her three days back to inform her about her return to Los Angeles for a f

Diane kept gulping down more wine; she was beyond drunk, her face was swollen, and her lips were plump. She smiled inwardly as she listened in on her Bluetooth headphones. The soft moans, her mind drifting off to its imagination, parted her legs slightly and inserted two fingers into her core.The moans intensified, and so did the thrusting of her fingers; she heard the male groan, and her senses flew up; she felt the shift in power and his vigorous thrusts on the female; she felt herself reaching her peak and let out a soft moan before withdrawing her hands.Diane felt herself weakened on the sofa, her juice flowing out freely from between her legs, she smiled satisfactorily. She hadn't had the time to do that in the two months since she arrived in Los Angeles.“Can we do this a few more times?”“Don't you dare dream!”She heard the words and laughed hysterically, Rosa hadn't been aware of the bug in the car, but Diane knew she couldn't trust anyone. Stupidly enough, her assistant de
Stolen heaven Chapter 153: Brainstorming Sex
Everything else was grand except that the plan itself was fruitless; Adrian's eyes scanned the report on his table; he held up his head with his left hand and ruffled his hair. Confusion set about in his countenance; how could their brilliant idea go down the drain like that?Perchy Peach developed a new marketing strategy and product packaging, and within two days, the internet was filled up with negative reviews of it. He had tested it out privately, and nothing seemed to be out of place, but some people seemed to be hell-bent on tarnishing their image.His phone rang loudly, and he dipped his hand into his pocket to retrieve it; he picked it up instantly, and Rissa's voice came through. Caleb was reported to be ill from school, and she had to rush out of the office to get him to the hospital.Fear gripped Adrian, was this coincidental? He knew Diane was going to come for him and Rissa, but he desperately hoped for her own good that Caleb wasn't gravely ill due to one of her mischi
