BACK AT THE BAKERY.

Ruth.

I was about to leave when Rose suddenly came back and I cursed inwardly. I wanted to go without her knowing.

“Where are you going, Ruth?”. She asked me.

“Out as you can see”. I replied rather harshly and I hoped she wouldn't become suspicious.

Because she knows I don’t normally leave the house by this time and if I do, I'll wait for her to be back from work before I go. But this time around, I purposely wanted to leave before she came back so she wouldn't notice but boom, here she is.

“Do you mind telling me where?” Rose asked me again.

“It's no business of yours. As you can see, I'm in a hurry so get out of my way and quit asking me stupid questions”. I replied and pushed her out of the way.

I was really getting irritated with her questions. I quickly left the house and hailed a taxi to my favorite cafe. I kept on looking over my shoulders to be sure I wasn't being followed.

When I got there, I then remembered that I didn't even know what the lady looked l

    THE PLOT AGAINST WINNIFRED.Ares.I was in my office signing some documents when my phone rang and it was an unknown caller ID that showed. I decided to ignore it since I didn't know the number.But the person kept on calling and calling and I decided to pick on the fifth ring.“Yes, who is this and why are you disturbing my peace?” I said harshly into the speaker.“I'm sorry, please am I speaking to Mr Ares Masters of Masters Global?” Came the shaky reply. From the lady's tone of voice, it was obvious she was scared.“Yes, I am. I don't have all day and you haven't answered my question”. I replied, more harsh this time.“I'm sorry to disturb you sir but your wife, Winnifred is in great danger”. The lady said.Immediately I heard Winnifred's name, I bolted out of my seat and started pacing around in my office.“My wife? In danger? How?” I asked impatiently.“My sister and a certain lady are planning on kidnapping her tomorrow. I don't know if they have any other person working with th

    NOBODY MESSES WITH MY WIFE.Ares. I activated the tracker and was able to track Winnifred's location without problems. My bodyguards kept on updating me and they were there when Winnifred was abducted but they were well hidden so they couldn't be seen.Some of them brought the cook and the driver back to the mansion after making sure they hadn't sustained any injuries while the rest of them followed the car that took my wife.When they got to an abandoned warehouse somewhere in the bushes, they stopped and dragged Winnifred out of the car. I could see she was unconscious which meant they had drugged her.It took everything I had not to go there immediately and teach them a lesson they won't forget in a hurry. Based on what that Rose lady told me, they would call to ask for a ransome and I wanted to be there before they did.So when my bodyguards had secured the perimeter, I left my mansion and was on my way to bring my wife back home. I went with another set of bodyguards and left th

    ARES TO THE RESCUE.Ares. My patience was really running out as I wanted nothing more than to burst in there and carry my wife away from there. But my guards kept holding me back.My phone finally rang. It's about time. I said to myself.“Hello, who's this?”. I said, immediately I picked the call on the third ring.“Ares love, it's me, Amelia, your baby”. Amelia said over the phone. Anger immediately surged through me as soon as I heard her voice.“I've told you several times to stop calling me that and what do you want from me”. I replied impatiently. I wanted her to get to the point.“I'll just let that comment slide baby. Well I have that piece of trash you call a wife here with me and I can promise you she's not in a good condition”. Amelia responded and many things started running in my head.I hoped she wasn't hurt.“Hmmm”. Came my reply. It was all I could say to prevent me from bursting out.“Amelia, if you so much as touch a strand of hair on her head, you won't live to tell

    OH HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED. Winnie.I didn't know what Ares meant until a few seconds later. I hoped it was what I was thinking, I really hoped so.“To your face? What do you mean by that? Don't joke with me Ares”. Amelia replied over the phone. She seemed a little bit scared and I smiled inwardly.“Ohhh Amelia, silly Amelia, I mean why don't you look up and tell me that to my fucking face!!”. Ares shouted and immediately ended the call.A few seconds later, a group of men burst into the room and Ares came in last. He looked at me and I could see pain in his eyes. The ladies were all surprised. They definitely were not expecting this. Who would have known Ares knew about their plan.He immediately took a gun from one of his guards and used it to shoot his secretary on her leg. I flinched at the sound of the gunshot and she let out a loud cry of pain as the gun fell out of her hand.I was glad a gun wasn't pointed at me anymore but I somehow felt for herAres's guards surrounded th

    TAKING CARE OF HER.Ares.The doctor continued the rest of his job in silence and I was glad about that. When he was done, he packed his things and left.I couldn't bother seeing him off so the cook did that. When she was back, she prepared something for Winnifred to eat once she woke up.We both stayed on either side of her bed as we watched her, none of us willing to disrupt her sleep by waking her up.Few minutes later, the cook slept off and it was just me. I don't know when I also joined her to sleep.A certain movement woke me up and I discovered Winnifred was awake and was trying to sit up with difficulty.“You're awake. Don't stress yourself trying to sit up. How are you feeling? Do you still feel pain?” I asked her all at once. I was really concerned, I wanted her to get better soon.She smiled and I think it hurt because she winced in pain immediately she did and I wasn't happy about that.I didn't like seeing her in pain. I felt like taking away all her pain but that wasn't

    HAD I KNOWN.Amelia.What have I gotten myself into? What exactly was I thinking? Did I forget it was Ares I wanted to mess with? How did he even find out? It was all going so well.How stupid was I to think that Ares would actually come back to me. He made it clear to me the day he ended things with me that he didn't care about me at all. I knew he didn't but hearing him say it was really hurtful. It pains me when I see Ares caring about that lowlife because he never did that when we were together.He was always treating me like I didn't matter to him. Like he was just using me to pass time and I really didn't care at the time because being his girlfriend was really helping my modeling career so why would I care if he cared for me or not.But as time passed by, it began to get to me. People started doubting if we were actually dating or not and I didn't know how to convince them we were together.The day Ares ended things officially with me was one of the worst days of my life.

    ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.Winnie. Ares kept staring at me after I was done eating and I didn't know why.“Are you sleepy?” He finally asked me.“Not really, I just woke up after all and I don't even know how long I slept. I don't feel like going back to bed again”. I replied. I couldn't possibly be sleepy after just waking up from sleep except my drugs contain sedatives which I wasn't sure of.“So, what should we do then?” He asked me.“I really don't know. I can't think of anything at the moment”. I replied.I was really happy that Ares actually wanted to talk to me. He wanted to have a conversation with me. I thought really hard on what we could talk about but nothing came to my mind.I decided to ask a random question. It's kind of been on my mind throughout today.“By the way, you didn't go to work today? Why?” I asked him.“How would I have gone to work when my wife was in danger. You were kidnapped, Winnifred, by those stupid people who thought they could mess with me and get away w

    THE PROPOSAL.Winnie.I couldn't believe what just happened. I began replaying everything over and over in my head again. It all began when I woke up and was preparing coffee. Ares went to the living room without greeting me and started watching the News. He suddenly called for me and I went to the living room to meet him.“Where did you go yesterday?” He asked me and I was just staring at him, trying to process what happened yesterday.“I asked you a fucking question!!” He yelled at me and I blinked with a surprised look on my face. Ok, I had definitely remembered now. Why is he asking me this suddenly and why didn't he go to work today?“I didn't go anywhere.” I replied as I sat down on the couch.“Alright then, let me be more specific. What did you go to do at the hospital yesterday?” He asked me. I was shocked as to how he found out about my visit to the hospital.“I went for a check up.” I replied, not meeting his gaze. I knew that I had promised not to lie to him but this situat

    THE DIVORCE.Ares.I was in my office when I got a call from Adam, Winnifred's driver. I hope nothing happened to Winnifred. I picked up the call immediately.“Yes Adam, what is it?” I asked impatiently and he hesitated for a moment before replying.“Good afternoon sir. I wanted to inform you that your wife went to the hospital today”. He said and I immediately stood up from my seat.“Hospital? What happened to her? What was she doing there?!!” I thundered over the phone as I started getting ready to leave the office.“No no sir, nothing happened to her. She's fine. She said she wanted to go for a check up”. He said as I sighed in relief.“Why did you call me then?” I asked, calmer this time around.“I think she lied sir.” He said and that got me curious. “And what makes you think so?” I asked him again, curious to hear his response.“I just had the feeling that she was lying and when she came back from the hospital, she seemed lost. I kept on asking her what happened but she was jus

    PREGNANCY?Winnie.I didn't know when I slept off but I found myself on the floor of my room when I woke up and I was feeling really tired. It took me minutes to stand up from the floor and when I finally got up, the whole room began to spin and I had to hold on to the wall close to me to prevent me from falling down.I wondered why I had started feeling dizzy all of a sudden but I couldn't seem to come up with an answer. My stomach started grumbling and I wanted to ignore it but it only got worse so I decided to pay attention to it.Since I was obviously really hungry, I went downstairs to find something to eat after the room had stopped spinning. When I got to the kitchen, I found a note on the counter addressed to me from Ares. It read…“I've gone to work, don't think I have run away again or that something happened to me. I'm perfectly fine and will be back in the evening.”I smiled after reading the note and for a second, I thought that things were back to normal but I woke up fr

    BACK HOME.Ares.Winnifred had been calling me for sometime now but I didn't pick up. I'll just look at it ringing until it cuts. I knew she would be worried because I didn't tell her anything but I couldn't care less.By the way, why should she be worried? She can as well go and meet the guy that was flirting with her at her bakery earlier today and not bother about me. I'm sure that wouldn't be hard to do.She stopped calling for sometime then after a few minutes, Judy called and I picked up immediately.“Good morning sir, your wife said that you're not at home and she's been calling you but you're not picking her calls. She's been waiting for you to come back home.” Judy said over the phone and I paused a little before replying to him.“You can tell her not to bother waiting up for me as I won't be going back to that villa for sometime. I'm in one of my other houses and I don't want to see her either. I need space away from her. If that's all, I'll hang up now.” I said and immediat

    WISHFUL THINKING.Judy.I was surprised seeing Winnifred's name as the caller ID when my phone began ringing by 1:00am. What could be the problem? I picked after the second ring and I was shocked by what she said.“Hello, I'm sorry for disturbing you but do you know if Ares is still at the office? He's not yet back and I've been calling him but he isn't picking my calls”. She said, clearly worried.“Ares didn't come to work today. Didn't he tell you? I'll try calling him and see if he picks up”. I told her as I yawned.“He didn't tell me. Well, I left for work before him so there was no way he would have told me. Alright please do and call me back if he picks your call”. She said and ended the call.Why didn't Ares tell his wife that he didn't go to work and most of all where could he be by this time? I decided to call him and I was surprised when he picked up immediately.“Good morning sir, your wife said that you're not at home and she's been calling you but you're not picking her c

    THE BREAKDOWN.Winnie.I stayed awake all through the night waiting for Ares to return but he never did. I lay on his bed as I watched the sunrise and my heart was heavy. I decided to dial Judy's number again and luckily, it went through.“You never called to give me feedback.” I told him immediately he picked up the call.“I'm sorry about that, I just didn't know how to tell you.” He responded, his voice a little bit shaky.“How to tell me what?” I asked, more curious now.“When I called Ares, he said that he isn't coming back home so you shouldn't bother waiting up for him and that he needs space away from you.” Judy replied and my face fell immediately.“He isn't coming back? Did he say where he was and how long he'll stay there?” I asked again, my voice beginning to break up as I fought hard to control my tears.“He's in another of his apartments but he didn't say how long he'll stay there.” Judy responded.“Do you know that I stayed awake the whole night waiting to see if Ares wo

    THE BIG DECISION.Ares.As I was driving, it all became clearer to me. All these changes I had been noticing concerning me. The way I was now calm towards her. I never wanted to see her sad. I never wanted anything that would hurt her. I always wanted to see her smile and happy.How did I let all these happen? Where is the cold hearted Ares that doesn't give a fuck about anybody's feelings? “Aaaarrrrrggggggggg”. I shouted after parking my car by the corner of the road. I wanted to throw and scatter something so badly but I couldn't do that. Instead, I slammed my hands on the steering wheel so hard that it hurt.When I had calmed down a little and was able to drive properly, I resumed driving. I definitely couldn't go to my company in this mood so I decided to go home.Home? I can't do that. I took another turn that led me away from my mansion. I had made a decision. I won't live under the same roof as Winnifred again. That way, I can avoid her with ease.This was what I'd have to do

    CAUGHT IN THE ACT.Winnie.I sat down in my office as thoughts of last night flashed through my mind. I couldn't help the blush that crept up my face when I recalled all that had happened.From the surprise to the dinner to the sex in the pool to the continuous sex in his room, all were very memorable and I enjoyed every one of them. Last night was a really fun night.“Someone's here to see you ma”. I heard Anna say, bringing me back from my thoughts.“Who is the person? Did the person leave a name?” I asked, curious because I wasn't expecting anyone.“No ma, he just said he wanted to see the owner of the bakery”. She replied.“Alright, I'll be out shortly”. I told her and she left. Who could be looking for me? I guess I better go and find out then. I left my office and went to see who it was.When I came out of my office, I saw a handsome young man with very black hair and green eyes that reminded me of Ares. He looked like he was in his early thirties. Well he is good looking I'll g

  • Taming the Billionaire    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN: SUCH A CUTE THING.

    SUCH A CUTE THING.Judy.I was still finding it hard to believe that Ares actually thought of something like this and helped in executing it. If not for the fact that I was there when it all happened, I wouldn't believe that the Ares I know would do something as romantic as this.I was really happy when he suggested the idea and I observed how joyful he was when he was picking out Winnifred's outfit. I don't think I had seen him that happy in a long while and to think that Winnifred was the source of his happiness warmed my heart.I hoped things continued this way without changing. I was also glad that Winnifred loved the surprise because her expression when the light lit up was priceless. My hard work paid off.They didn't even wait for dinner to be over or at least for me to go before they started their make out session. They started doing it right there in my presence.“Isn't it too early for that?”. I had told them when I couldn't take it anymore and they composed themselves. I ch
