"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.

The Bad Boy's Obsession 69|change of plans
Brenda 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 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.

Brenda GSomething is wrong.I reached out to the glass of water beside the meal I had been busy pretending to be eating. Something in the food was not going well with my stomach. I could feel a gush of nausea churning down in my belly.I drank some water that pushed it down. I needed to focus and not ruin my composure at a royal dinner where everyone was busy enjoying the meal. I was the eye of the dinner, everyone kept glimpsing at me as though trying to see what I had to attract a royal prince.Beside me, Jake was busy devouring his meal, his one hand was gently rubbing my thigh while he used the free one to eat. I felt secure with him, he managed to ease my nerves ever since we arrived.Everyone was nice, I met Jake's mother who was average in height, beautiful, and always with a smile on her lips. The moment we arrived, she took me from Jake and toured me around the palace as she introduced me to other royal family members. Her husband was a straightforward person, I saw Jake in

Brenda GThe cold morning breeze nipped my skin, triggering goosebumps that swam all over my exposed flesh. I drew the shawl against my semi-naked body, in an attempt to generate some heat and hopefully snuff out the cold.The golden specks of the rising sun bathed my skin, replacing the cold with warmth. A smile curved on my lips as I watched the yellow ball of energy emerge beyond the horizon, splashing its rays on the azure ocean waters. It was the most magnificent view.We arrived at a beach house which was one of Jake's private properties. He mentioned it would be a good idea to lay low for a while together with my father and I agreed.Fresh morning air seeped through my nose, gushing into my lungs as I took a deep breath. Melodious chirps of birds and insects caressed my ears, soothing my soul.For a moment I was able to forget about the painful truth. That I was an adopted child whose biological mother died at childbirth and whose father was unknown. Did my father even know abo
The Bad Boy's Obsession 79|his claim
Brenda GSeeing my dad again, after so many months, was the most joyous feeling for me. I couldn't stop hugging and sobbing on his shoulder as he soothed me lovingly in his arms."Dad-I am so sorry. It's because of me that you had to go through so much pain and torment." I cupped his bandaged face in my palms as tears cascaded down my cheeks."None of this is your fault. Lance and Melissa are to blame." He replied. "I should have never trusted that woman." Regret filled his eyes. "A woman as horrible as her deserves to be punished for her wrongs. Your mother entrusted her with you-" He paused after realising that he had blurted something."Is there something you're not telling me?" I dug for answers."No child, I don't want you to find out the truth this way-" He avoided eye contact."What truth? Please tell me, dad." A plea left my mouth."Brenda, it's the truth about your real mother." He spoke."Real mother? Isn't Melissa my mother?" I stuttered."No, she's not. Brenda, you are our

Jake William"Take cover!" I spun Brenda around and then rushed with her to a hidden corner, somewhere in the room, the others followed."Finally! I thought that you'd never arrive." Harriet declared as the guards untied her and Melisa. "Kill them all!" Harriet barked as she and Melissa ran off. . It was an open fire as Lance's goons shot at us and we attempted to shield ourselves with furniture."They are too many, what do we do?" Emilio shot a question at me."We need to team up and fight them off." I prompted."No, Jake, it's dangerous." Brenda protested. "We don't have enough weapons to fight them off." She added."We can't hide here knowing they are approaching us," I whispered as I checked the bullets remaining in the gun.Death was lurking in the dimly lit room like a shadow waiting to devour each and every one of us. Lance's men were turning the place inside out, trying to find us. "Come

Jake WilliamI knew saving Brenda's dad would be hard but I never inferred that it would be challenging.We had everything planned out. Things were falling into place. Thanks to Adrian, we had Brenda's dad's location. I sent the coordinates to the agents, informing them of the retrieval. It was a delicate mission. It's why I deployed skilled agents to perform the task. I was certain that It would work-that they would find Mr. Hammond and save him. To my disappointment, Lance was a step ahead of us. He managed to outsmart us.His new plan was about my royalty status. He planned to get me involved in a scandal all over the media.I was not gonna give up though, I had to fight for Brenda and her friends.I was busy plotting a plan as Lance's men dragged us towards our doom. There were five men in total and all of them were armed. Even if I attacked, I couldn't manage to eliminate all five of them."Hey, I need to go to the bath
