Taming The CEO's Heart CHAPTER 280
“ONE MILLION DOLLARS!”Everyone was stunned yet again by someone who just bid a high amount and first for the item that is the same as the first one which Xander won. “One million dollars for the gentlemen in white!”The host declares, not that surprised anymore after what Xander did a while back. “A tycoon?”“Multi-billionaire.”The crowd started to gossip within their small circle. A kind of gossip that is calculated and observant. Weighing the facts for this entire event is not just to flaunt their influence, wit in business, and wealth. But to make the connection with the persons that will benefit them in any way. “Aaron?”Lindsey notices, now a bit interested in the current bidding war of the wealthy not because of the items, but Aaron’s involvement. “So, he wanted that item.”She whispers in a disappointed tone, thinking about the only reason behind Aaron’s action. “I bet he will gift it to Cath.”She deep sighs, but then immediately realizes that she shouldn’t be thinking

CATH and Sam were right after all. She shouldn’t have put herself on the line where she is not needed to. She should have been honest to everyone and told Cath the truth rather than solving it all by herself.Then she shouldn’t be in this kind of situation. The fact that she made a connection to Aaron through the orphanage and having these wavering thoughts and feeling that she currently having right now. For if she didn’t act though and all, everything will be alright and that she isn’t having any doubts for herself now.“Remember, we are still a mutual enemy.”Words from Lindsey that stings, and sadden Aaron. With his hands clench into a fist, he forced a smile, but turns out to be a broken one. Checking his emotions and not to show any negativity towards Lindsey.“I see. You still see me as a treat.”“In every way possible, yes.”Lindsey’s half lie that she braces herself for just saying those words. Hurting deep inside where she is also convincing herself that it wasn’t like that
Taming The CEO's Heart CHAPTER 282
“DO you think that I am on to that little plan of yours, Ash?”“Whether you agree with me or not. I do not give a damn about it, Hiro. Do what you want, and I do my own business. But having the current same goal at the moment is enough for me to trust you. If you want to protect that woman you can, but do not stop me from what I want.”Their intense argument over Lindsey. The plan that Hiro’s only intends is to make fun of Aaron, push him to the limit and admit his wants for the person that he knew that wasn’t for him. Yet, Ash wanted the violence at the end, his little revenge that doesn’t suit him in anyway.“The organization doesn’t ask of you for that matter Ash. If the higher up will have a wind of this, do you think that you can survive alive and breathing at the end?”The warning that Ash knew and deeply about. For the years and growing inside the organization’s laws and ways. Things that he couldn’t ignore or bend, for being the higher up’s enemy is like putting yourself with

“MR. WAYERIGHT.”“Cath—I mean, Miss Wayne.”Aaron is taken by surprise by the sudden recognition that Cath made. First that she calls him and made herself approach him. “May I help you?”“Can we talk?”Another surprise, but Aaron didn’t put his hopes up for he knew and a bit reading that it is not what he thinks it is, and that there is something else that was bothering Cath. He had a clue that is because of him and might as well, about Lindsey. “Of course.” He agrees casually, leading the way into one of the hotel’s restaurants and not that far to the famous hanging garden that the resort is popular with. “I apologize for my sudden invitation.”“It’s alright.”His assurance and being a gentleman, he made sure first that Cath is seated and comfortably right across his. “Shall we have drinks first, it's on me, and please do not hesitate” Cath requested and at the same time insisted. Being casual and sophisticated with the rules of the high society and the fact that she invites Aar

“YOU will know the answer once you find it yourself.”Words that Aaron said that are bugging Cath for a while now and after their conversation. All before she notices Lindsey at a distance and now that their entire family is at the beach having some quality time. “The orphanage.” She thought about it and had that certain question that she both wanted to ask and know the answer to and at the same time did not. That there is something about it that she knows, yet she couldn’t remember. Something that was once so important that she didn’t mean to forget. “Cath, are you alright?”“Sam.”Almost stuttering and shaking her out of her deep thoughts. Cath immediately draws an assuring smile towards Sam and even promises that everything is alright and that he needed not worry about a thing. For she knew deeply that she shouldn’t drag Sam into the kind of mystery that might be trouble in the end. “Are you sick? You do not look good.”Sam’s worry and more than about the health condition of Ca

“WHAT do we have here?”Surprised for a second then irritated and somewhat wanting to slap someone’s face because of arrogance and self-righteousness, Nadia couldn’t help but clench her hands in secret. Calms her nerve for a bit and wears her façade of a smile, when out of the blue someone that should be here in the first place is all entitled with the claims and words that Cath will have trouble upon. “Francine.” She controls her temper and composes herself as a professional journalist. “What a surprise! What are you doing here?” her immediate questions, expecting something from Francine that she will never like, for Francine is one hell of a b*** who thinks that everything revolves around the palm of her hands. “I didn’t come here for you Nadia.”Francine’s direct words and rejection of all of Nadia’s inquiries. Her bossy attitude with her cross arms and a complete look like a fashion queen that everyone in the company is only baring from her because of their jobs. “Well, half of

“CATH, I do not know how to describe this simply, but this is urgent. We are in trouble.”‘TROUBLE?’The word that immediately registered inside Cath’s mind. The word that is more than just a warning to her right now. Considering everything that happened and the things that are making their plates full. “Nadia,” she hesitates to ask at first, but she quickly calms herself and asks. “Did something happen with the both of you of Jun? Did Francis get a wind of our investigations?”She’s wishing deep inside that it wasn’t the case, that it was a different one, yet, she couldn’t think of anything else rather than that current fact and problem that they are working on.“Did you find out how much they have known?”“It’s not that, Cath, it’s a different one.”Nadia’s tone that is calming her despite the problem and worry that she just told her about. Taken her back and made her worry disappears which calms her worry with a deep sigh of relief. “Then what is the problem, Nadia.”She immediat

“THE higher-up called,” Ash informs, but more likely reminding Aaron in his firm and a bit of a commanding voice. “Now that everything is settled, the plate had already been delivered and we accomplish what we came here for. We need to go head back, Aaron.”Aaron couldn’t help but clench the arm of the chair and almost break the cup of coffee that he is currently drinking from those words. Which didn’t get away from Ash's meticulous eyes and immediate mind to know what he is thinking and currently disappointed about. “I see.”His short reply disappoints Ash. Knowing more of what he is currently thinking and that doubt that he couldn’t hide from him. “You know that the authorities are on our tail. It is just they are all too stupid to not even have a single clue of our identity, making our mission too easy and done perfectly.”“I am aware, Hiro brief me with regards to that fact.”“Then you are well aware that we do not have any reason to stay longer.”Their exchange and contradictin

“HOW long has it been since then, Leo?”The expected meeting, but the unexpected expression and tone that is in a mix of disappointment and anger that Cath is showing right in front of him. Left alone in the headmistress office and at first glance they are seem to share a casual tea time. He looks down, not in shame, but a bit of worry from how things unfolded. Which makes him think if he is regretting his decision of giving Cath a clue about the past.“Or should I call you now with your known name, Aaron?”“Tell me, do you hate me that much after what you have learn, Cath?”“Hate you? Why should I? You didn’t do anything to me which needed me to resent you. Instead I am the one who should be asking you of that question, for I failed to recognize my old friend.”Old friend. The words that means more than the shallow meaning of it. Words that will disappoint anyone, for it means more than just a rejection, but a total abandonment towards someone who only thinks about one person and dea

MORE than being stripped of everything that he had, Harry is slapped with the truth and faces the wrath of Adriella in her calm demeanor whom everyone knows that it is worse than a tyrant in that kind of mood. “You do not need to explain anything to me but sign the divorce papers, right now.”“I-I…”Definitely shaking within his wits, Harry couldn’t even utter a single word nor look at the face of his mother-in-law worst towards Lindsey whose expression is indistinguishable for lacking nothing to see. Worst with the atmosphere in the room that is getting heavy and dreadful upon their conversation that a while back is going smoothly and just like always. Only to be struck by the divorce papers and the secret that Harry is been hiding for almost a month now. “I stayed quiet and compose for the sake of Lindsey. But since it all comes to this and the fact that you are caught red-handed. There is no need for further discussion.”“But I… I only did it once, or maybe twice or thrice, but t

“WILL this be alright?”Lindsey’s worry and her thoughts about what Sam decided upon after what happened. Hiding the fact that they were kidnaped. Letting Jun handle the rest with the pieces of evidence at hand and the new ones that were suddenly sent to them just a while back. With all of them know that it was from Beatrice, leaving Francis in the air and saving herself. “This is better and the appropriate thing that we should all do.”Cath seconded, forcing everyone to have this talk and all from Sam’s protest. With her injuries and critical state in the first few hours after they are saved. Luckily Cole wasn’t hurt in any way nor the child is traumatized. But make sure, Sam sends his son to the psychiatrist, and is currently under the care of Adriella. Lindsey recovers fast, and can now move on her own, unlike Cath. “Let’s just leave it to Jun and Nadia. They both know what to do.”She added, hiding the fact that she doesn’t want Sam to know about the organization that Francis on

DAMN alive and still breathing despite his injuries and the gunshot that he just receives from Aaron a while back. Francis stands before Cath, with his gun up a bit shaking from his wound, but directly pointing it towards her. “I may stupidly fail at first, but this time I will not fail to end your life. You who put me behind bars, Catherine Wayne.”“Cath!”Two familiar voices echo in the air, but before Cath could look and see for herself who could those two people be? Francis fired his gun, missing Cath’s vital spot from his shaking hand due to his injuries. Yet still, inflict Cath with another injury and a gunshot to her left arm. Stumbling backward made her lose her footing and leads her to fall to the cliff.“Damn! Just die!”Two gunshot echoes, now directly to Francis's legs leaving him impaired and down helpless. “You cannot save her, she is gone! You failed to save your girl, Samuel Lawrence!”Consumed with anger, Sam clenches his hands tight, yet he didn’t blow up on Franci

STARTLED and quickly stops in her tracks, now standing and still. Lindsey instructed Cole to close his eyes and cover his ears. Do not let go no matter what happens and wait for her to say so. “Do you understand, Cole?”“Alright, aunt Lindsey.”The little boy replied and quickly borrow his face to Lindsey’s chest. Being an obedient child, Lindsey could feel the fear of her nephew with Cole’s shaking body and cold hands. “Stop, or find yourself swimming in your blood.”More than a familiar voice and the only person right now that Lindsey could think of who. She slowly looks back and is not surprised to see the Governor, no, Francis, pointing a gun right in front of her and with a cursing look on his face. “Just how low could you go for doing this to our family? Are you desperate to establish your dominance over us that you are going this far for your selfish desire?”“Low? Who, me? Tsk! Do not make me laugh Miss. Lindsey Lawrence.”Their exchange made it clear and more than to Linds

TRAIL OF BLOOD is visible from near. Cath’s breath is heavy and her sweat is dripping from her forehead. She’s easing the pain from the gunshot wound that she got to her left arm and right leg. Dragging her heavy body and following the path that she instructed Lindsey at first if anything might happen and they needed to separate. “Tsk!”She clicks her tongue in anger and irritation. Tired and has been losing a lot of blood after she fought and struggled against Ivy. Now holding the gun that almost took her just a while back. “CATHERINE WAYNE!”The name, her name that Ivy screams in anger at the last second when she pulled the trigger and put a hole in its forehead. Ending a nightmare that she took within her hand and fails to put her back behind bars. “Almost. Just how many it is right now?”Suddenly reminisced and the similar danger that she took and choose for her career and passion. She chuckles and a bit rested behind a large tree. Ripping her bolero and tying it around her leg

GUN shots can be heard from a distance and back. The exchange and the loud crash with the blow of a bomb shake the ground for a few seconds. Holding on to a tree while tightly holding Lindsey’s hand with her right one, Cath held her ground looks back when Lindsey screams in surprise at what just happened. Starling Cole awake, that worried Cath even more than she is under a lot of stress right now. “Lindsey, are you alright?” “I am. I am just startled.” “Mom? Mommy?” “Cole.” They both immediately coax the child back to sleep. Lindsey covered Cole’s ears while hugging the little boy tight into her arms. “Mommy, aunt Lindsey, what is happening?” “Don’t worry Cole, that was just nothing, just go back to sleep.” Relieved that the little boy is still sleepy and that it didn’t give them the hard time to coaxing it back to sleep. Cath looks around and a few steps away from where she instructed Lindsey to stay covered and safe with Cole. “Tsk!” She couldn’t help but click her tongue

“THIS is what you need to do.”Instructions that Beatrice needs to follow. Things that she is hesitant at first to do since it might drag her name along with the danger that she just run away successfully from Francis. But with Hiro’s assurance and the things that Hiro just told her. The plan and the fact that the organization has Cath, Lindsey, and Cole, the truth that the organization is the other party that is rubbing Francis's patience, and the little deal that Hiro on behalf of the organization strikes a deal with Cath.

I’ll prepare everything as soon as possible. I’ll call you when everything is ready.”“Thirty minutes.
