Stolen heaven Chapter 93: Perfectly Gaslighted
“Who are you trying to seduce, Rissa?” Adrian said, looking into her eyes.Rissa stared intently into his eyes and busted out laughing.The others noticed their little conversation but pretended not to be eavesdropping it.Adrian Grey's confused expression made them realize something was definitely wrong between them as lovers, not employees and employers.“Myself, of course; I haven't had much time to dress younger in years”.Rissa's response set his mind at ease; it was really true; they both had to grow up quickly for individual reasons.They alighted at their picnic site and set up their tent.Music was put in place, and so were food, drinks and fruits.Rissa left Adrian's side and went ahead to sit with the women gisting about how the week had gone down.They started some games and merriment when a minibus stopped by the site.One look at the first person that alighted Adrian facepalmed himself.The other staff's countenance changed as they saw her too.Adrian, in a bid to salvag

Adrian kept throwing occasional side glances at Rissa as he drove her home.Seeing the picnic to an end had been his secret prayer.He stopped abruptly packing carefully by the roadside.Rissa gave him a confused look and questioned him on why he stopped.“I can't let you go home tonight Miss Stonebridge”, Adrian said scarily.Rissa was taken aback, what was this about?“Why?”An awkward silence ensued between them.“Adrian, say something! You are scaring me”.“I need you by my side tonight”.“Wait! Are you ill?” She asked, concerned touching his forehead.Adrian turns to face her but his expression remains unreadable.“Say something, Adrian. I am getting scared. Are you being threatened?”“Rissa, I had to muster all my self-control not to make love to you right there in the tent”.Rissa's face flustered; she felt an unusual heat in her body despite the car being well-ventilated.She slightly tapped Adrian's shoulder.“You scared the hell out of me silly!” She said playfully.Adrian h

Alice kept staring intently at Bianca whose attention never left Caleb as he rolled the ball.“Miss Bianca, are you interested in Caleb?”Bianca's expression turned confusing.“Excuse me?”“I mean, you have been staring at him all day”Bianca laughed hysterically, taking Alice by surprise.“Or you like his dad too?” She questioned suspiciously.“Because Miss Bernard looks at him every time because she likes him”.“Urgh! That crybaby, come on, spare me, Miss Bernard seems to like everyman”.“Don't talk about her like that!” Alice said and stormed off angrily.The sports period was over and the children were ushered back to their homeroom.Bianca picked up her phone and dialled a contact.Their conversation was quite lengthy and amusing as she laughed in between.Keeping an eye on her little nephew was turning out to be more fun than she had anticipated.She hadn't liked kids from the onset and never planned to have one.Two of her marriages ended when her ex-husbands decided to have af

“Why did you hurt Edward!” Bianca cried out bitterly.“Why would you accuse me of such?” the older man responded nettled.He dropped his wine glass on the table and glared at her.Bianca shed uncontrollable tears and sat down on the sofa dejected.“I am carrying your child”, she said in between tears.The older man scoffed loudly “Pregnant! Because of a one-time banging, how could you be so careless?”.He shouted at her, clearly irritated by her sight.“Is your husband aware?” He questioned her suspiciously.“He is”, she responded instantly.“Pretend it was his”, the older man shouted at the top of his voice.All light drained out of Bianca's eyes, she paled instantly.“I have an heir, I do not need an illegitimate child”.Bianca smacked him across the face, taking him by surprise.“You wench!” He shouted at her.“You are despicable, I am having this child!”“Wouldn't it be much easier and logical that your husband takes responsibility?”“He is fucking sterile! He has always been ster

Mandy heard a knock on the door and hastily checked on the visitor.To her amazement, Diane stood there smiling pleasantly.She pushed forward a cookie box to the door camera.Mandy scoffed loudly, she contemplated opening the door but eventually gave in to her curiosity.“I almost developed leg cramps standing out there all day”, Diane said sarcastically.“Unexpected guests should know that is a norm”, Mandy retorted hastily.Diane's countenance darkened for a few seconds but she managed to gain control of it.“Why are you here Miss Donaldson?”“Well, uhm…is Rissa home?” She asked innocently.“She is not”“Her son must be off to school then”, Diane said sweetly.“Why are you here Diane!” Mandy said with a dangerous glint in her eyes.“Oh! Steady there! The laser coming out of your eyes could burn down a whole building; I just bought some cookies hoping to make a friend; I was bored, you see”.She responded pouting innocently.Mandy laughed hysterically, “Cookies! Make a friend! Cut t

“May I come in?” Rissa's eyes stayed glued to Liam's; he didn't look like he was there to fight. Rather, he looked disturbed.Mandy and Camela contemplated retiring to the bedroom but stood their firm ground, who knows what Liam Hickson came there for.“How did you know where I live?”Rissa's question made him smile softly. This is Los Angeles, and he is the CEO of a big company in it; tracking anyone down is easy peasy.“Nobody is difficult to locate in Los Angeles”.“Oh!” Rissa knew instantly she had asked a silly question, the wealthy and powerful always get whatever they need except true love.“Can I have a minute of your time….alone?” Liam said, emphasizing on the last word.Rissa turned and almost laughed despite herself; Mandy and Camela were throwing daggers at Liam, which definitely made him uncomfortable.“Let's talk outside”, Rissa said.She turned to her friends and gave them a reassuring nod. She knew Liam didn't dare try anything stupid with her in her home. He had inte
Last Updated : 2025-01-11Stolen heaven Chapter 99: The Birthday Party
Adrian's stunned gaze never wavered from Liam's, the bombshell he had dropped earlier had got him really bad. Could it be true? If it was, what was Bianca thinking?His grandfather would have literally turned in his grave if he found out about this. Diane had unbelievably agreed not to press charges against Camela after their discharge.They had all left the hospital to their homes in silence, each in their own deep thought.Adrian woke up the next morning to the angry blaring of his alarm and repeatedly chiming in his phone. He rubbed his eyes and picked up his phone.“Not in the mood to give God his dues”, he muttered to himself skipping his morning devotion.He rolled his eyes inwardly as the three chimes were dropped courtesy of Bianca's messages.“I am throwing your niece a birthday party at the mansion tonight, you better be present”“You dare not show up late”.“You can bring your girlfriend along and my Cute Caleb”.Adrian scoffed loudly “My cute Caleb! Seriously Bianca!” He s

Tracy's boggy eyes irked Adrian. Did he just hear her mention Pandora's box? His hunch must have definitely been right.Bianca’s graceful return in the middle of the Hickson’s crisis seems too suspicious. But how many people know Bianca enough to consider her as the perpetrator?“I don't have it”. Adrian lied.He felt less of himself for doing that, but was he obligated in the first place to hand it over to his aunt or her friend?Curiosity engulfed him; who was this stern-looking woman whose simple smile changed her whole face in a glimpse and made her appear friendly?“I wasn't asking you to hand it over or agree that you have it”, Tracy said smiling pleasantly at him. He almost scoffed, the woman looked so accommodating with just one mere smile.“Adrian, my father told me about it before he passed on, should in case you were too clueless to find it; you were young and unserious back then, you know”.Bianca's words pierced his fragile heart. His grandfather didn't approve of Bianca'

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
Stolen heaven Chapter 118: Bumpy Ride Ahead
“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
Stolen heaven Chapter 116: Your Number One Fan
“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
