"I apologise for my son's behaviour," Lance stated while adjusting himself back on his seat."It's okay, I understand." I paused, then resumed, "I didn't know that you had a son." I started a conversation in an attempt to extract some useful information from him. I needed to find his weakest link and then use it to bring him down."Where is his biological mother?" I pressed further. Lance glanced at me with creased brows then lowered his eyelids as though thinking about someone. Then his eyes met mine once more. A broken look was vivid in his eyes. I had never seen this side of him because the Lance I knew was arrogant and never showed any sign of vulnerability. His grey eyes were always void of emotions. But that day, his eyes were heavy with sadness and guilt."She passed away." He choked on the words while struggling to gain his composure. "When Adrian was five."My heart twinged at his revelation. A knot of comBrenda GAt a distance from me stood Adrian who was naked as a monkey's butt. His naked body was glistening with water that trailed to his posterior. It was evident that he had just come out of the shower.My eyes were glued to him, I had probably forgotten I was staring at a naked teenage boy who by the way was huge. I was dumbstruck, my brain failing me big time."Cat caught your tongue?" He cocked his eyebrow quizzically then reached out for a towel that was placed on a laundry hanger."I-this is my room." Was the phrase that flew out of my mouth. I swiftly tore my gaze from his nakedness. I had no idea why I had to see a naked man on my first day in a place I hated."Really? Is that what my dad told you?" I could hear him moving about the room but I did not dare look at him. I was busy caressing the cat and ignoring that I nearly went blind."No. But-one of the servants did." I stuttered."I am guessing her name's Be
Jake William"By seducing him." She prompted. My heart nearly skipped out of my chest at her revelation.Did she just say that?"Absolutely not! I will not allow you to do any of that." I hurled."Jake is right, Bree. Seducing Lance is risky. What if it backfires and he ends up having his way with you?" Gena reasoned."Guys, it won't backfire because I have it all planned out. I will add some pills to his coffee to weaken him then seduce intel out of him." Brenda explained her plan which was angering me even further. I couldn't let her throw herself at some other guy. More so if that guy was Lance."No. You will do no such thing." I declared in finality. "We will stick to the plan we discussed last night."Her face contorted with anger, "Wow. So you think that my plan is lame? That it won't work? I expected you guys to be on my side and support me through with this plan but I guess I was wrong. You know wh
Jake WilliamOne of Lance's bodyguards walked us into the mansion, escorting us to Lance. I kept shifting my gaze around the place in an attempt to locate her. To my disappointment, she was nowhere in sight. Maybe she was in her new room.The guard halted in front of a brown polished door and knocked on it. "Come in." A deep authoritative voice ordered and the guard complied by opening the door. "Wait here." He ordered us and stepped into the room ensuring to shut the door.I could hear muffled noises from the other side of the door. Gena pressed her ear to the door, to shamelessly eavesdrop on the conversation. Her face contorted into several hilarious gestures.Suddenly, Gena moved away from the door, an indication that someone was approaching. The door creaked open and the guard peeked through the small space, "You can come in." He instructed while opening the door wider. Gena walked through the door followed by Emilio and finall
Jake WilliamThe anger was visible in my visage as I stared at Brenda. She let the old shit peck her lips, she even went ahead and called him -my love. She was infuriating me.Lance's hand was running on her back. Caressing her like he owned her.I was an inch away from jumping on Lance's neck and strangling him to death when I felt Emilio's hand grasp my arm. "Jake, relax," Emilio whispered in an attempt to calm my racing nerves."Merci, Mademoiselle for this opportunity. I promise that we won't disappoint you." Gena declared then embraced, Brenda."You're welcome." Brenda retorted then broke off the hug moments later."My love, I will show the guests to their rooms. I am sure they are exhausted after their long trip." Brenda informed Lance who nodded in approval. "Come with me." She addressed us.No sooner had we stepped out of Lance's office than Gena grabbed Brenda's arm, halting her movements."Br
Brenda G"My love, you look gorgeous." His warm breath scorched my cheek as he whispered the words to me. My stomach flipped with disgust at his words, brewing nausea which threatened to rip my gut apart.The feel of his lips on my cheek triggered goosebumps of antipathy which swam all over my skin. His very presence, touch, scent drove me to the peaks of dyspathy. I desiderated to tear his hand from my waist and erase his touch from my skin because everything about him ailed me to the core."Thank you, my love." The words scorched my throat like acid as they erupted from my mouth. A smile made its way to my lips as I glanced at his form. He was clad in a black six-piece suit that hugged his rotund frame, accentuating his potbelly. Grey hairs matted his chin -an indication of his ripe age. His pair of silvery irises, interlocked with mine for a moment. An icy sensation crawled down my spine as his eyes stared into mine. It felt like he was trying to u
Brenda GThe event was getting boring and Lance was busy with his guests. He had some guests he valued too much that he ended up letting me slip out of his arms. Which was good because I was free to at least go and breathe.My gaze settled on Jake, Gena and Emilio who were conversing among themselves. "Excuse me," I said to one of the guests whom I was talking to and made my way to the three. "Hey." They shifted their attention to me."Bree." Gena gazed at me."Can we go somewhere more private?" I proposed. The four of us scurried to an isolated kitchen away from the party."I am nervous, is everything set?" I inquired while gazing at the three."Yes. Everything is set. All that is remaining is to get a call but our plan B is still on move. " Emilio explained. "By the end of the night, we will know your father's location."Jake took my hands in his and then gave them an assuring squeeze. "I have my team of
Brenda GHis question struck my ears like a bomb, leaving me paralyzed with shock. No words could come out of my mouth as I stared at the man who was on his knee with an expectant look in his eyes. My heart stilled in its cage, unable to beat.The temperature of my body dropped, triggering shivers that crawled down my spine. A mixture of emotions coursed through my being, shock being the main feeling.Why did he propose tonight? Wasn't the engagement supposed to be after a week?Questions swam through my brain, triggering confusion that ate at me mercilessly.Did he do this on purpose? To trap me? Does he perhaps know about my plan to ruin him?I couldn't find the answers to questions that were burrowing through my brain."Will you marry me?" He repeated the question while gazing into my stupefied eyes. I couldn't bring myself to say, yes. Not when I was so close to winning, so close to rescuing my dad. Not whe
Brenda G"It's me." The voice which was none other than Adrian's spoke. I could feel the coldness of his rings pressing the flesh of my mouth. "Come with me." He took my hand and led me to the unknown."Where are we going, Adrian?" Curiosity got the better of me."To your friends." He replied. "They asked me to fetch you." He added.A door was pushed open, to reveal a dimly lit room, "Where is this place?" I shot a question at him as soon as I walked in."It's an old guest room, no one comes here anymore." He replied."Where are they?" My eyes were scanning the place but couldn't spot anyone."Patience." I watched as he typed some numbers on a keypad that was engraved on a wall. A door creaked open -revealing a secret room."After you." He paved the way for me and I waltzed into a study room. Jake, Gena and Emilio were conversing when we walked in."Bree." Gena excitedly stated upon seeing me.
