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.

    “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!

    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!

    “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

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!

    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'

Silence followed before the initial voice he heard spoke again.“You aren't responding, Tracy; I said we need to get that proof from Adrian; Liam looks too relaxed”.“Let me think, Diane, approaching Adrian Grey didn't work out; he was just as pigheaded as I was told; he denied its existence”, Tracy said, nettled.Liam staggered backwards.

    “I need you to do something for me, Rissa”Adrian's words sent chills down her spine, what could he possibly want? Does it have something to do with Liam's visit?“Please, Rissa, move back into my apartment; I do not mind staying in the mansion”.Adrian's countenance made her sad; all she could read was desperation; it must definitely have something to do with Liam's visit.“Was he here to threaten you? I mean Liam”“No, on the contrary, he requested a truce”“A Truce!” Confusion engulfed Rissa; Liam was gullible-minded but quite pigheaded to request for a Truce with someone he wanted to show supremacy towards.“Yes, it turns out my sister, his therapist and Diane are trying to drag him down alongside his father for the secret I hold”.Rissa felt pity for Liam at that moment; he wasn't totally guilty; it was Rowen, his father, a man who takes pleasure in using other people's emotions against them.His bedridden state had saved him from taking responsibility for all the troubles his gr

    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

    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

  • Stolen heaven    Chapter 197: Bygone!!!

    “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

    *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.

    “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

    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

    “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.
