Chelsea and Dylan exited the elevator and walked across the bar to the premises' exit. Hill stood waiting by the Urus with his hands clasped behind him. "Are the luggages insides?" Dylan asked Hill."Yes, Sir" Hill replied and opened the door for the duo, granting them entrance. Dylan appreciated the discretion of Golden Petals. If it were any other hotel or lounge, paparazzi and media agents would be crowning him right now, asking him all sorts of nosy questions. He sighed. The price for fame and status, I guess. He lampooned as he boarded the SUV after Chelsea went in. Before Hill closed the door, he noticed someone observing them from behind a car parked some distance away. He heaved as he sat, his eyes fixed on the car. Hill turned on the engine and soon they were en route to the mansion.They got home and alighted the vehicle. Chelsea proceeded to enter the building hurriedly while Dylan lagged behind. He engaged in a brief discussion with Hugo with his eyes fixed on her. He c
Joyce stood with her hands clasped in front of her, watching as Chelsea prepared for work."Is it his instruction that you watch me every morning before leaving for work?" Chelsea asked Joyce's reflection in the dressing mirror as she put on her earrings. Joyce smiled. Of course she always smiles. "It's just like I'll disappear into thin air or something" Chelsea continued. "I'm simply here in case you need anything" Joyce replied. "Oh please. We're not even in a relationship, talk more of being married. Just drop it, alright? The whole watching over thing. It's... suffocating" Chelsea gestured in exasperation. "He has made it clear to me that there is no escaping this property. Either the bullets get me or the wolves, either way I'm dead" she ranted as she put on the last pieces of adornments. She turned and saw Joyce still smiling at her."You look beautiful as always, Chelsea" Joyce said.Chelsea exhaled. "Thanks very much. Am I free to go now?" she gave an obviously fake sm
Chelsea facepalmed herself as soon as he left her office. She was showing her feelings way too much. And he wasn't helping matters either. Walking in, leaning so close to her with all those seductive fragrances oozing out of him was making her senses go numb. She felt a slippery moisture between her thighs and exhaled frustratedly. Why on earth was she getting wet!!! She cursed her body for losing its control. Then after some seconds she chuckled. After closing the Walmart deal she stood up and exited her office. She could see Dylan feeding his eyes off her body as she swayed elegantly, gently walking her way out of his office. She smirked but didn't acknowledge him. "Where to?" he called as she reached for the doorknob. She paused, exhaled and turned slowly to face him. Their eyes met and she immediately retracted hers. She didn't fail to notice the smirk playing at the corner of his lips though. How could she miss it? It had become his trademark ever since they went on a romanti
Selina gave a light gasp but quickly regained her composure. "Sir...I swear I wasn't stalking you. I was visiting a friend there" Selina shuddered. Dylan chuckled and stood up. "I pray it actually is what you say it is. As for the carelessness with the Cheshire deal, it better be oversight and it better not repeat itself again, ever!" He bellowed. "Yes, Sir. Thank you" Selina replied. "You may leave" Dylan ordered and walked back to his chair. Selina stood up, grabbed the files and exited the office. Dylan's voice called her back before she could close the door."One more thing" he said calmly. "Yes, Sir" she replied, bowing her head as she stepped back in."You better be very careful with your choices, Selina. Very careful" he said and gestured a conclusion. "Yes, Sir" she replied and exited the office. Tsk. Dylan sighed and swivelled in his chair as he waited expectantly on Chelsea. Not long later, she walked in, her face a bit sour. "What happened?" he asked her."Nothing"
The Urus got to the restaurant and they alighted the SUV. Hill stayed back with the vehicle while Dylan and Chelsea went in. They walked gently and elegantly into the premises, much to the admiration of onlookers. Dylan waved a few people, shook important ones and they were finally escorted to the VVIP section. They were the only ones on this section. It was reserved for Dylan as he has made a lasting impression as their number one patron. He frequented here also because of their discretion in terms with media publicity. They placed their orders and before long they were served. "Are you still interested in the jewelry business?" Dylan asked after they finished their meal.Chelsea looked at him thoughtfully. Truthfully, she had no intentions of starting a jewelry business. Even more so now that she had her eyes on the drug money from the cartel. But she had to play along."I'm still interested but I feel like I enjoy my assistance job more" she replied. Dylan smiled. "You enjoy bei
Dylan clipped the last buttoned on his shirt and threw on his suit jacket. He gently walked out of his room and headed to the living room. On getting there, he saw Chelsea standing and waiting for him with her hands clasped behind her. "Good Morning" she greeted with a smile."Let's go" he replied, not answering her greeting and walked away towards the door.Chelsea turned to Joyce who stood, watching with a smiling face. The motherly housekeeper nodded approvingly at her. She smiled and turned, walking out behind Dylan.They boarded the Urus and were soon speeding on the highway towards downtown. ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤At Cross Enterprises, Dylan called for a meeting with the executive board. He stood at the head of the table, waiting for each member to arrive. Chelsea sat by his right hand, her eyes fixed on the part of the table before her. Selina was the last member to arrive. Her face was sour and filled with dejection. Chelsea traced her eyes and saw that they were fixed on Dylan. Dylan h
Dylan got to the mansion and immediately alighted the Urus. He walked gently into into building, exuding the aura of a domineering personality. He walked steadily, his rage brewing as he headed for his destination, Hades.Hades was the torture room where the 7 Daggers cartel dished out gruesome punishments to defaulters. Any member of a rival mafia or anybody at all who disrespected or posed a threat to the Pope or the Daggers were captured and brought to Hades.As he stepped into the room, Dylan saw three well-built men chained in a crucifix fashion. Their hands were chained apart to the ceiling while their legs were chained to the ground. The chains on their hands lifted them above the ground so that their whole body weight hung on their chained hands. As notorious of the Daggers, they had beaten the three prisoners mercilessly. All six eyes had black all around them. Their bodies spoke of gruesome whipping, cruel beating and other services that left their bodies in anything but an
Chelsea placed the contact card in her purse and sat up on her chair. If he was playing a game, she would show him she knew how to play along good enough. If she could swindle moneybags and bigwigs what was a little back and forth game that she couldn't play?She opened her company Skype account and searched for Fred's contact. He had already sent her a message. She clicked and read the message. Truly, it was all about business. He was giving details of prospective deals and contracts that he had in store for Cross Enterprises. But every businessman had a bad boy button somewhere on them. She was about to turn on Fred's bad boy button. She typed a short but demanding response and hit sent. 'When are we meeting?' It read.Then she relaxed, awaiting a response. Before long, the notification dinged. She opened the message and saw a picture with a text underneath. The picture was a selfie. He was in a restaurant, sitting alone on a table, probably awaiting his order. Under the selfie he
