Taming The CEO's Heart CHAPTER 286
“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

“I am returning this gift that you gave me back to you.”Rejection? But it felt like it is more than that word means to Aaron. Worst he couldn’t show his dismay towards Lindsey knowing who he is and where he stands in her life. “Don’t you like it?”“That’s!”Yet he voices his disappointment, that though he didn’t mean to do it, he somehow unconsciously did so. This makes Lindsey panic and is startled as to what she should reply, with his expression that is a first for her to see. “It’s not like that.” Lindsey started explaining, taking a deep breath and collecting her thoughts in an organized and gentle way as much as possible. “I am thankful that you are thinking about me, but I couldn’t accept such an expensive gift. My husband---”“I get it!”Taken back and somehow in her eyes and the way she perceives those words from Aaron is like irritation and anger. A jealous call that she immediately shakes out of her mind. “I’m sorry.” Aaron immediately apologizes upon immediately realizi

“SO, do I, Mr. Wayeright.”“Tsk!”Aaron couldn’t help but click his tongue and smirk in disappointment and anger to himself upon remembering those words that Lindsey just address him. Like they both went back from the beginning and addressed each other formally. “Damn! You are foolish, a hell lot in that sense.”He curses to himself, and the fact that was a slap to his face. Shaking him up for the reality that there is nothing for him to look forward to and that what he had done for a while now is a mistake. “Did you just say your heartfelt goodbye and was that for good, Aaron?”“Tsk! Do not make me laugh, Hiro.”Hiro’s teasing and all along was listening to his conversation with Lindsey. Now even taunting him with the cunning smile that he wants to erase from his face with a punch. Yet, it will not be enough, knowing how sly Hiro is all been and the fact that he was the one who offered him the easiest escape that he is now pondering if he will finally take. “I am not trying to.”“

“MY name is Hiro. I am here to deliver a message from CEO Wayeright.”“Message?”Honestly alarmed and had more than just doubts. Lindsey whisper and ask herself the facts that the person in front of her just said. Introducing himself with the casual clothes and sophistication that reminded her of both Aaron’s employees and the members of the organization that she just escapes not long ago. “I beg your pardon, but I couldn’t think of anything that CEO Wayeright wanted me to know.”She played it safe and didn’t inform the gentleman that she just happens to meet and talked with Aaron not just long ago. A fact that she also finds suspicious, knowing that Aaron will find her personally if it was urgent. Not to mention he can just message her and ask to meet. “I apologize, but I think you got the wrong person.”Lindsey’s guard and suspicion are all on point. Which makes this little scheme difficult for Hiro. “The CEO’s instruction for me is clear Miss. Lindsey Lawrence.”He uses the card

TRAP. That is the word and the first thing that Lindsey immediately thought when more than realizing the predicament that she is in right now. She had no choice but to clench her hands and swallow the fear that is creeping up and slowly eating her inside. “Why don’t we take this talk more privately Miss. Lawrence.”The invitation, no the broad daylight blackmailing and smoothly taking her like everything is just a simple talk between acquaintances. A scheme that Lindsey knows and the kind that in the end, she couldn’t defend herself in the future because she willingly followed him. Yet. “The clock is ticking Miss. Lawrence, and I have no patience for this kind of thing.”Cornered. That was running inside her mind while assessing the situation and the possibility that she can get away from there unscratched. With the people around, in the broad daylight, and the twins that probably by now reach Cath and Sam and inform them what is happening. She can escape, and probably waltz her wa

TROUBLE. The van is moving at a constant speed, not that fast but already covered a fair distance from the Hotel. It took a careful turn and is now on a dirt road making it shaky and leaving some dirt and dust behind. Cath opens her eyes, waking up from the bumpy road and feeling a bit dizzy, she tries to pull herself up and stay conscious after what just happened not long ago. ‘WHAT THE!’Curses that she can screams and protest only inside her mind. Now fully conscious, yet in pain from the tight bound of the rope on both of her wrists and legs that are grazing her skin from each movement that she will do. ‘COLE!’Her worry and at the same time her anger upon seeing Cole unconscious, tied and gag like her and all unconscious laying just across her. She closes her eyes firmly in irritation for failing to protect the young boy and putting him in this dangerous situation because of her. Fully aware and not just pointing fingers nor jumping to conclusion that Lindsey’s disappearance,

“DAMN!”The immediate curse and scream of anger that Hiro utters after receiving some wounds and scratches from the explosion and ensnare that they just received from another party that he is quite aware of who. Worst, that person is out of his mind of challenging the organization and putting his life to death for what he just did. “That f***ing hell of a bastard!”He clenches his fist, and punches the tree beside him after escaping their predicament and just in a split second. Managed to save himself, some of his men, and Lindsey. With his wounds and Lindsey’s now unconscious state from the blast of the bomb luckily the car that was directly hit and is now in dust and pieces is the second and middle van identical to what he uses with Lindsey is the third and the last following the first two. “Stupid!” he once more curses. “Something like this is likely to happen that’s why I plan everything perfectly and accordingly with a decoy and two and a dozen of my man. But this type of game

“MOMMY!” The twins, Monique and Cole opens the door and runs up to her with excitement and twinkling adoration to their eyes upon seeing her. “Wow, you look like a princess, Mommy.” “You do, you do!” Monique’s comment with wide smile and agreed by Cole. Admiring her beauty as she is dress in a sophisticated white dress. Her wedding gown and the day that she will finally tie the knot with Sam. After all the problems that are resolve, the secrets that are said, apologize, forgiven and done. With the twin’s biological mother gracefully out of the picture by her death. Everyone is there in that very special day to witness and congratulate them. “Thank you.” Cath smiles and giving the twins one kiss each on their cheeks. Making the twins giggle more in excitement. Just then, the wedding coordinator knock on the door and asks her. “Miss Catherine, shall we?” “Of course.” She couldn’t contain her happiness and smiling all the way through. With the wedding theme of like mystical fore

“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. Is more than a heavy reason for her to believe. No, she had no choice but to believe. For in between the organization and Francis, added with the fact that Cath strikes a mutual deal with the organization. One thing is only left for her to choose from, and that is to follow the plan Hiro just told her about, and put everything of the blame on Francis.“I got it. I’ll prepare everything as soon as possible. I’ll call you when everything is ready.”“Thirty minutes.
