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 mother. “Oh sorry sweetheart, have you been taking your sleeping pills?” Her mother asked. “Mum I don’t need it anymore, I sleep perfectly well now”, Annabelle explained but her mother was having none of it. “I got new prescriptions for you from the doctor I will send them to you” Her mother stated given her no space to refuse. “Fine Mum”, Annabelle said finally giving into her mother words. “I heard you got yourself a new driver,”. Her mother stated, “Yes mother I did, The last one won’t be coming back. So I just had to accept this one and he looks capable and has been so far”. Annabelle said. “Okay dear, you should come visit soon. I will have to now, I have things to do” “Okay mum, I will be over by the weekend, have a nice day, I love you” Annabelle said “I love you too sweetheart, okay I will be expecting you”. Her mother said and the call ended. Her door opened and her personal assistant walked into the office with a file and a cup of coffee in her hand. “Ma’am, they are waiting for you in the board room”. Lora stated. “Thank you Lora, I will be there in minute”. Annabelle said as she watched Lora place the coffee on the table and walk out of the office. She followed shortly after, she got to the boardroom and met with the CEO of the company, who was surprising a woman like her, it was so unlikely to see a woman leading a company. The meeting went by smoothly as they ended it in agreement with the two parties. Annabelle walked back to her office, she had decided to lodge in a hotel to clear her head before she could stay in her house, she didn’t still feel safe yet. She entered her office to see Aiden sitting in the visitor’s chair with his long legs crossed. A frown appeared across her face. “What are you doing here?” She said pulling his attention to her “I came here to talk to you”, she heard him say and she walked over to her chair and sat down, hopefully this man was not planning on leaving soon. “Okay Aiden, what is it you plan on talking about?” She said, looking at the man in front of her. “You should get a body guard for your personal protection” He said calmly. “What? Why would you even say so?” She asked surprise evident in her voice. “Because you need it Ms Annabelle, and I would advise you should follow my words” He said and Annabelle frowned the nerve of this man. “You...”, “I want to be your bodyguard”, he said interrupting her. Again Annabelle was speechless at this man’s audacious words, what the hell had she gotten herself into. “Are you crazy?” She couldn’t help but ask. “Yes I am crazy but that isn’t the case here, I want to apply to be your bodyguard” He said calmly. “And why do you think I will employ a crazy man to protect me” She asked. “Because you employed a crazy man to be your driver, you very much know I am capable of protecting you” He said and they both stared at each other in silence. After a moment, Annabelle finally spoke. “I would think about it, you can leave” Aiden raised from his chair picked her coffee from her table on his way leaving the office. “Where do you think you’re going with that?” He heard her ask. “I want it” he said simply and with that he walked out of the room shutting the door behind him. He entered the elevator looking at the coffee in his hand, Ding! The elevator opened and he threw the cup into the trash can and headed towards the car park. He hopped into the car and zoomed off, his eyes were fixed on the highway as the car moved on a high speed, he made a turn entering a building. He jumped down the car walking towards a man with dark hair, the dark haired man stood behind a brand new black Lamborghini. “Good afternoon sir” The man said with a thick Mexican accent. “Keys”, Aiden asked stretching his hand, as the man placed the keys of the car into his hands, Aiden walked around the car as his eyes moved around the car, as if he was looking for something. His jaw tightened as he stared back at the man who had beads of sweat on his face, he immediately pulled a handkerchief from his breast pocket and wiped his sweaty face. Aiden caught his movement, his eyes darkened as he stared at the man, “You fucking bastard”. He cursed loud enough for the man to hear. The man turned his head to look at him immediately, but Aiden pulled a gun from his back pocket and shot the man in the middle of his head. The man’s lifeless body fell flat on the ground.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
She was done from work, after an exhausted day all she wanted to do is to soak herself in a hot tub. She had just gotten into a hotel in the city, she had chosen a random hotel because she didn’t want to handle any formalities for now. All she need was space and fresh air to breath. Opening the door with her key card, she steeped into the room closing the door behind her, the room was painted all white. It wasn’t her usual expensive looking room but it was moderate enough for her, she began to pull off her clothes one by one, she walked into the bathroom and filled the tub with warm water, pouring the vanilla soap into the water. She watched it as it filled to the top, turning it off she stepped into the tub fully naked dipping herself in the water, a sigh of relaxation escaped her lips as the body touched the warm water. She rested her head as she enjoyed the feel of the water on her skin. The soap also smelt so good. Closing her eyes, she gently tapped her feet in the tub
Ariana stilled looking at the man in front of her, he was so close to her, his hands placed on the table locking her between in arms. Even with the dark glasses, Ariana could still feel his strong gaze on her, his face not holding any emotions. It was difficult to know what he was thinking or even feeling at this moment. There was something about the way this man smelt and looked that got her mesmerized, as much as she wanted to look away and yell at this man for getting in her personal space her brain didn’t just cooperate with her. Aiden just stared at her, not making any movement. Dingg!!! Ariana’s phone rang breaking the trance between them, Ariana cleared her throat as she looked away to where her phone was lying. Aiden too looked away taking steps backwards to let her move to her phone. She walked to the table and grabbed her phone placing it in her ears. “Oh, Alright. Thank you Lora have a wonderful night”. Ariana said calm even though her heart was still racing. Placi
“Hmm, I can only guess he must be filthy rich,”. April said “And what makes you think the buyer is a he? I thought you knew nothing about it”. Ariana asked. “Of course it would be a he, which normal woman buys a freaking casino. Only men make such stupid and risky decision”. April explained,” Anyways Ari, I had to go make coffee before my husband wakes up”. April added. “Look who’s doing wifey duties, oh my gosh I am so jealous”. Ariana said teasing her friend. “Whatever weirdo, have a nice day. Bye.”, “Bye”. Ariana answered before hanging up the call. Looking at the clock it was now thirty minutes past six. She heard to prepare for her visit, picking her cup and empty pack of cookies she walked to the kitchen, throwing the empty pack into the trash can, she gave her cup a little rinse and placed it back on the table. She headed to her restroom for a bath after taking all her clothes off and changing into her robe. Turning on the shower, she placed the robe on the
Ariana couldn’t believe what she had just heard ears, could it be that she had heard wrongly. Never in her life have she heard her parents say anything about marriage to her and definitely have not suggested someone for her to marry. She would have said they were trying to prank her but by the look on their faces she highly doubted that and it wasn’t even April first. She opened her mouth to speak but she couldn’t form any words, her lips just shut close as they opened. She saw the worry and sadness in her parents eyes, swallowing the big lump in her throat she decided to say something. “You are joking right? Aren’t you? Mum? Dad?”. Ariana said as she looked between her mother and father, but her father gave her little nod telling her he was serious. “We are sorry sweetheart, this is very serious. And the decision had been made already”. Martha said lowly, her voice filled sadness. The pain in Ariana’s eyes turned to anger, she felt her fists clutched tightly as she raised
A staring competition had started between Ariana and her parents. She desperately needed answers because she couldn’t understand why this strange man had decided to ask to marry her out of all things he could possibly ask for. Her mother sighed. “Alexander savage is a multi billionaire”. Martha said. “So?” Ariana raised her brow at her mother, her mother had mentioned him being a multi billionaire as if it was supposed to explain why he was suddenly interested in marrying her. “Mum what if he is a billionaire, why does he want to get married to me?” She asked. “Ariana we don’t know why, he just gave us an opinion. All we know is he is a powerful man”. Her father explained. “So tell me dad, have you met this man? What does he look like?” Ariana asked, her eyes widened as she saw her father look away. It didn’t take long for Ariana to understand why his sudden change of position. “For Christ sake dad!!!” Ariana said and then tucked in her hair hardly as she paced in the di
“I am a generous man so I will give you 24 hours to convince your daughter to marry me. Or else...I will take her by force, Goodbye in laws and have a wonderful day”. With that Alexander hung up the call pushing the phone into the back pocket of his trousers. “Tiger, What do you think you’re doing? Threatening a family for a girl, come on. This isn’t even worth your time.” Carlos said, as he walked towards the chair and sat down. “I know but I want her, she has been in my mind since I saw her, so I want her and what other way to do that than have her marry me”. Alexander said, picking up a glass of wine and taking a sip. “But man, why her? You can have any woman you want here so why all the stress, and beside we can just bring her here to you”. Carlos suggested. “I can do that but I won’t, I want her to willingly agree to me. And no I don’t want those ugly strippers. I need something new, she’s beautiful and has a nice ass. She’s a feisty and interesting woman who won’t
Again, Alexander had left them speechless. And just like Carlos, he enjoyed seeing the expression on their faces. How dare this man offer him his bitch of a daughter for marriage? Even though Alexander hadn’t seen her in a long while since she left to study abroad, he knew what she was doing. He heard news from his men over there of how she gave herself to different men of different ages and sizes just for fun, because he was a hundred percent sure she didn’t do it for money because she had loads of it to last her a lifetime. “If there’s nothing more to discuss, you can take your leave now”. He added. “You have to re consider Alex, you yourself is no different from her. You have also had a lot of women in your bed so who are you to judge her?” Lopez said as his anger was beginning to peep through. “Don’t put words in my mouth Lopez, I never judged her. I was just simply telling you my qualities in a wife. So please leave, I’m beginning to have an upset stomach just seeing
