Few minutes to 9:00am,the new partner had arrived at New way corps and was been led to the boardroom for the meeting, A young man in his mid thirties, with blonde hair and green eyes. Tall and athletic. He had on a neat blue suit that complement his shoes, he walked behind Lora while two of his business associates walked behind him. He occasionally glanced at the decoration of the building, he was impressed. It was almost decorated to his taste. “Come in sir” Lora said as she opened the door and the gentlemen walked in. The boardroom was big and beautiful, still had the grey and white color,it could take like fifteen persons. The gentlemen took their seat in a straight row“Would you like coffee while you wait for the boss?” Lora asked politely as they moved to grab their seats.“We don’t have all day princess” The man said with a stern look.“We will have coffee, thank you...” The other gentleman said with a smile“Lora, you can call me Lora” Lora sm
She went out to the car park where her brand new red Lamborghini was parked, it was the gift she got from her father on her last birthday. She hopped into the car and started the engine. Not too long she was already on the high way. She decided to buy some gifts for who she planned to go visit, a supermarket was not too far from where she was. So she made a U turn to the direction of the supermarket. In almost twenty minutes, she was already in the car pack, locking the door of her car she stepped into the supermarket, all eyes were on her as she walked to the aisle but it was actually something that was very common, for people to stare at her when she walked into public places. And at most times when she wasn’t in a good mood she sent her PA or house help to get her the things from the store. It took her just a while to be done and she was back on her way, at exactly 4:15pm she got to the hospital. Grabbing the groceries from the seat of her car she walked int
Ariana looked at the city from the view her window displayed right in her office. Los Angelos h very busy place it was just half past nine and everywhere was so filled with people going on with their daily businesses. And here she was again in her office like usual, every day with the same routine. She sighed, what a boring life this was. She had the money to do whatever she wanted and so she used to think it was more that enough for her but as years went by, she realized money couldn’t give her what she wanted in life. Although she had been to more than forty different countries, over a hundred 5 star hostels and restaurants in the world, and she bought the most expensive designers clothes, shoes, bag and jewelries but it wasn’t still enough. She never had a true friend until two years ago when she met April, they have been very close back then and they still were but April had gotten married some months ago and moved to a new country with her husband. At the end of t
“$10,000” Ariana’s eyes almost bulged out of its socket as she heard the figure he called. “What the hell?” She said “I am joking, calm down. I will take any amount you pay me” He said watching her with amusement. “Oh, you must sure be a joker, what if I decide to pay you $100?” Ariana asked “We both know, you won’t what to do that, and I know you worth more than that” He answered. “Yes I am worth more than that, so how about we start from $4,000” She asked, wanting to read the man’s expression but he kept a blank expression. “We can work with that for now miss” Aiden said, his arms now crossed on his chest. “Okay, do we have a deal?” She asked, extending her hand forward for a handshake. He felt his eyes move from her face to her slender hand and then back to her face, “Deal” He said taking her hand into a handshake. His grip was strong but not strong enough to crush her hand, he was gentle in a way. She pulled away a
Her car was parked waiting for her at the front of the building, she walked elegantly and climbed into her car, her eyes met Aiden’s eyes from the side mirror. “Did you receive the location from Lora?” Ariana asked her new driver. “Yes ma’am” He answered, and the car zoomed off, in an hour time they got to their destination the drive was smooth, Ariana was impressed, he was indeed an experienced driver. Who was careful with traffic lights and speeding. A three story restaurant came in view as the car parked, it was one of her mother’s many restaurants. This particular restaurant was the most expensive because it dealt with international dishes, Italian, Chinese, Indian, Spanish. A 5 star restaurant with 5 star food. “Do you want me to wait for you here?” Aiden asked without looking at her. “Yes, I don’t have strength for father’s questions” She answered and climbed down the car. The security opened the door of the restaurant as sh
Ariana had got to her house and had freshened up, wearing a pair of her favorite blue pajamas. She sat down on her sofa facing the large window in her house. This was a very normal routine for her because she had nothing else to do, than drink her exotic red wine and look at the busy streets of LA. Her long black hair was in packed in a messy bun, she grabbed her glass again to take her drink when she heard her phone ring. She groaned and lazily turned around to grab her house. It was a private number, a frown appeared across her brows, who called her with a private number she asked herself. Hesitating for a moment she finally decided to pick the call. “Hello” She said with the phone on her ear, but she received no reply which was strange, “Hello, who is on the line” she repeated but the result was the same. No reply from the other end. And suddenly the call was ended from the other end. “That was strange”. She said to herself but anyways she wasn’t gonna think ab
She had arrived to the office, climbing down the car she moved towards the building. Her workers greeted as she walked past them. She replied them normally as she headed to her office. Entering her office she slumped on her onto her chair, running her hand through her hair. Her meeting was about to start in twenty minutes with the CEO of another importing company. She looked at herself in the mirror and adjusted her shirt, even though she had no makeup on she looked quite the same, many people had once told her she even looked better without makeup. Her phone vibrated in her table, walking over the table she connected her AirPods to her ears and picked the call, it was her mother. “Hey mum”. Annabelle said, flipping through the files in front of her. “Sweetheart, how are you doing?”. Her mother voice came from the receiver. “Yes mum, I am doing fine, although I had a weird dream yesterday but it felt so real. I don’t understand anything anymore”. She explained to her m
Aiden fumed in anger, his eyes were on the corpse which laid on the floor, the man had dared to place a tracking chip inside him car. Aiden opened the door of the car, he had easily seen the tracker, pulled it out he dropped in on the floor and crushed it with his shoes. Running his hand through his thick black hair he cursed silently, he pulled his phone from his pocket and dialed a number. “Hey boss”, The person said from the receiver in a calm voice. “Carlos, send the boys to come clean up this mess. It seems Rodrigo have decided to play dirty. He sent one of his men to place a fucking chip in my car”. Aiden said between his teeth. “That bloody idiot, we will look into the it. And I’m sending the boys now”. Carlos said, as sounds of keyboard was heard from his background “Good”. Aiden pulled the phone away from his ear and ended the call. With a sigh, he pulled the door open to enter his car. He started the engine and zoomed off. It was 1:45pm, and Alexander ha
Ariana opened her eyes to see her surroundings covered in smoke, she kept hearing a buzzing sound in her ears. A dry cough that escaped her lips as she slowly stood up to her feet. “Come on lets go, can you walk?” She heard someone say from behind her. She turned to look as who it was “Let’s go, the car is waiting for us”. Alexander said placing his hand around her waist before lifting her up. Three men dressed in all black rushed towards them, from the way they behaved Ariana could tell they were working for Alexander. “Don’t worry, I will carry her, so check my car” He said and headed towards the car, he placed her gently on the back seat of the car and sat beside her. “Are you both good?” Carlos asked turning his head to look at them at the back seat. “Yes we are good, she’s still in shock she will be good” Alexander said looking at Ariana who was resting her head on his shoulder. “Alright, I will be taking us to the penthouse it’s the closed to this place”. Ca
A/N: This chapter is supposed to come before chapter 24 which was honeymoon, I made a mistake while uploading, ****** Ariana felt her heart drop to her stomach, her eyes couldn’t believe what it was seeing at this moment. This had be some kind of joke or something, she opened her mouth to talk but no words formed from her mouth. The man in front of her just stared at her, he had no emotions on his face. “We are gathered here today to witness the joining of this wonderful man and woman”. The priest said with a smile, “please bring the rings here”,the priest added, a little girl came to their side with a small pillow in her hand where the rings laid. “Alexander Savage, do you take Ariana Smith as your lawful wedded wife, promise to hold and to love, in sickness and in health till death do you part”. The priest asked looking at him. Alexander’s eyes were on her when picked the ring from the pillow, pulled her hand forward and slipped the ring into her fourth finger. “I do”. H
Ariana was very much confused, she had never seen Alexander look so alert before he always had this calm demeanor and now he was like a totally different person. “We don’t have much time, walk fast Ariana”. He said without looking at her as he hold onto her hand tightly. When they finally got to the car, he entered the car and shut the door lock, pulling the seat belt over him he started the engine of the car. “Use the belt”. He said again without looking at her. She immediately did as she was told and watched him in silence, she had a million and one questions running in her head but she decided to just let him be for the moment because it clearly did look like a time for questions and answers. “Carl, I want you to track a car for me RV-441, do it now I will tell you everything when I get her to a safe place”. He said as he placed his earbuds into his ears. Ariana opened her mouth to speak but she stopped herself and just stared at him, she was beyond surprised how
Ariana’s breath hitched after hearing those words leave his mouth, this man was just unbelievable they were talking about something serious and here he was talking about...oh lord she to herself, she would have slapped her face with her hand but she couldn’t because this man was holding her arms. “Get off from me”. She said between her teeth. “No I won’t, you have to promise me that you would never such a thing like that again”. Alexander said. Ariana almost laughed at this man, so he was jealous she said to herself. “Why would I do that Alex? Besides you can do as you please I won’t be stopping you, I swear”. She smirked at him. He just stared at her still holding her hands in place. “You are going to be punished Ariana, you are being a very naughty girl right now”. He said so calmly. “Get off my Alex before I make you”. She grinned at him. Amusement flashed in his eyes, “Oh really? Then do it, make me Ariana” He smirked at her, he wondered what she would do to
When she was done with her work, she found the driver waiting for her and she entered the car with a sigh, she had a good day even if she was still bored at work, she was probably going to have a more boring day at home. She came out the car and walked into the house, she asked about Alexander from one of the security men and she was told he had gone out to do something. After taking a refreshing shower, she walked out of the restroom and changed into a loose shirt and black shorts. she quickly blow dried her hair and walked out of the room. Her eyes nearly went wide like saucers when she saw Alexander walk down the stairs of the other wing of the house with a woman by his side, the woman wore a short revealing black dress and had heavy makeup on her face. Ariana felt her heart squeeze in pain and for some reasons she felt jealousy flow through her. What was this man doing with that woman and who was she? She asked herself. She walked forward to them to make sure
Her neck had a love bite that was big and dark and it was a big spot. A frown popped up on her forehead and she narrowed her eyes, grabbing her powder from her bag and began to apply the power on her neck. Slowly covering the hickey on her neck, she pulled her hair to cover the spot on her neck. The silence in the room was so awkward she didn’t know what to say, “I will go get you coffee”. Lora said and walked out of the office. Thankfully Arianna was able to release the breath she didn’t know she was holding. She cursed at Alexander again for doing something as shameful as that, just then her phone rang and it was here mother who was calling . “Hey mum, how are you doing”. Ariana asked in a soft voice. “I’m good sweetheart, how are you doing?” She answered from the recover. “I am good Mum, how’s is father doing? How is everything there? How is the business going over there?” Ariana asked. “Everything is fine sweetheart we are all doing well and the business is going
It was the next morning and Ariana has already dressed in a beautiful black knee length dress, she was running a comb through her hair, as she circled her watch she was still on track. Picking her bag from the bed she walked out of the room to meet Alexander leaning on the wall with a cup of coffee in his hand. “You’re leaving already?” He asked. Ariana wanted to roll her eyes at this man, wasn’t it obvious from how she looked. “Yes I am” she gave him a small smile, and began to head out of the house. “Hey, come back here”. Alexander said making her stop in her steps, what did he want now? She asked herself. “Yes”, she slowly turned around to him. “Aren’t you forgetting anything?” He asked a smirk appearing across her face. “No I am not”. Ariana said almost immediately as she had double checked everything before she was leaving. “You sure? Won’t I get a goodbye kiss?” Alex’s smirked increased as he saw the surprised look at her face. “Seriously? There’s no on
Ariana who was listening to their conversation from behind the door cracked it open and walked into the living room, even though she was eavesdropping she couldn’t quite pick on everything they said. “Who was that? Is there any problem?” She walked up to him and asked him. “Just some thorns in my feet, it’s nothing you should be worried about I’ve handled the situation”. He replied. “Oh Alright, I wanted to ask you if I could resume work tomorrow, I’ve been away for a while and there’s nothing here to do so I will be bored.” Ariana rubbed her palms together as she spoke. It took a while before Alexander answered, “Sure you can but you have to listen to me, if you are going to leave this house you will have bodyguards with you at all times, and I meant it Ariana.” He said stressing each word. “Why would I do that? That’s going to be weird why would I have bodyguards following me when i am not some kind of princess or something like that”. Ariana raised her hands in the air. “I’m
Ariana could only nod her head because she knew her words would fail her at this point, “Good girl, come have lunch”. She heard him say before he let go of her thigh and walked out of the bathroom, Ariana let out the breath she didn’t know she was hiding. This man surely knew how to make her go crazy, after calming her heart and body, she walked out of the bathroom to see a tray sitting on the table waiting for her. She felt his gaze on her as she walked over to sit, avoiding his piercing gaze she began to eat her food in silence, After she was done it’s off she decided she was already feeling sleepy so she decided go rest her eyes before they got to their destination. Carlos also joined them in the plane, but He was already fast asleep on the chair Ariana walked to where the bed was and jumped on it, you didn’t take her long before she fell asleep. The next thing she heard was the pilot announcing that they were about to land, so Ariana walked back to sit down as she fastened her
