Bad newsAdrian's POV"What is it?" I asked sharply, annoyed by the suspense.She just kept staring at me. I wasn't that hard on her, was I?Luisa swallowed hard. "It's.. it's my manager. He wants me at the company right now."I eyed her suspiciously. "With your injury? How do you plan to hide that?""He doesn't know about the injury yet" Luisa replied, holding her wrist with the other hand. "I'll wear a coat to hide it from everyone.""Okay," I agreed.Normally, I shouldn't have, but I felt she needed a break. It was my fault such a thing happened to her in the first place. I should have made things clear to all of them in the building.I watched Luisa stand up and walk to the stairs. An idea suddenly popped into my head."Luis...." I trailed off, feeling my phone vibrate in my pocket.I stood up and removed it. I saw I had received a message from Miguel; a profitable one at that.With a smile on my face, I took my time to review the files and videos I had received. I couldn't help b

ApprehensionLuisa's POV"Ah! What is fucking wrong with me?" I cursed, hitting my head with my purse.Adrian's words this morning had been bothering me since I stepped out of that mansion. What did he mean by he had something to show me? Was he talking about the torture room or was he referring to... No, I was thinking too much about it. I should focus more on what was waiting for me at the company.Gabriel had called later on and told me to wait till morning before coming."God help me" I exclaimed, oblivious to my environment."Madame, are you okay?" Someone asked.It was at that moment I recalled that Adrian had gotten a personal chauffeur for me. He had approached me earlier today. I was hesitant at first, but I had to agree to avoid what happened with Sarah just because I wanted to take a cab.Normally, A TV personality and model like me had a personal chauffeur assigned to me by the industry, but I couldn't call him to come pick me up at Adrian's mansion. It would arouse suspic

IneligibleAdrian's POV"Who was kidnapped?" I asked icily. "Your mum?""Yes," Javier replied, his voice trembling. "I already checked the CCTV cameras. She left the house without informing anybody. To crown it all, I tried to track her location but found no traces The signal was damp."I exhaled heavily. "How then are you sure that she was kidnapped?""During the tracking, the cameras stopped working when she was out of our territory" Javier explained. "That's suspicious because our camera has a wide coverage. We also found one of her diamond earrings lying on the floor."He paused to breathe then continued. "We also found footprints in the same place, particularly for men. All this evidence points to the fact that she was kidnapped."Immediately, I dug my phone from my pocket and sent a text to James to work on it, starting from the Gonzalez's territory."So, why are we here?" Javier asked innocently.I scoffed. "To take the company back from the usurpers, of course. There should be

ElectedAdrian's POV"And who are you?" Ivan queried, his questioning gaze lingering on me. "How did you get here?""Who cares about his name?" Rufus snapped. "He should leave this meeting immediately!""Calm down" I stated with a cold voice, digging my phone out of my pocket. "I'll leave when I'm done talking."I paused to see if there was any opposition, but it seemed they were all interested in hearing what I had to say.I smiled in satisfaction. "Good. I don't think pleasantries are well appreciated here, so I'll just go straight to the point. Javier Gonzalez graduated with a first-class degree in Business Management. He's currently a PhD holder. We all were there when his intelligence saved this company from bankruptcy four years ago. How come nobody remembered?"They all exchanged glances, murmuring among themselves."Silence" I ordered, and they obeyed without hesitation.Yes. That was the level of authority I held, even in places I was unknown.I smirked and continued. "I'm su

GreedElizabeth's POV"Dad, why did Elder Martinez have to pick Saturday for the family dinner? Isn't that a bit far?" I grumbled, munching on a chunk of meat.Since I left Diego for my parents' house, my dad had refused to say anything about the family dinner until we had lunch. My patience was limited, but I had no choice. My father was a disciplinarian and wouldn't take no for an answer."Eat your meal, Liz" I heard my mum say, snapping me out of my thoughts.I stabbed the meat on my plate with fury. Unfortunately, a crack appeared on the plate. My heart stopped beating as I raised my head to look at the old man glaring hard at me.He banged his fist on the table and stood up abruptly. "You good-for-nothing child, why can't you do anything right?""I... I'm sorry. It was a mistake" I stuttered, my voice barely above a whisper.My words were meant to quench his anger, but it fueled it."A mistake, huh?" He snorted. "That's the only thing you've ever done in your life; make mistakes.

TwistAdrian's POV"Boss, it's ready" James announced with a smirk on his lips.I nodded in satisfaction and clicked my tongue. "Start with the one where he had a conversation with Miss. Lydia.""Alright, boss" He obeyed, and in the next few seconds, the video was played. Everyone could perfectly hear the words coming out of their mouths."Why is the poison so slow? Hasn't it started having an effect? Are you sure you've been putting it in his tea like I instructed?" Ivan in the video questioned, his voice full of a mix of contempt and impatience.Lydia, who had her gaze fixed on the ground, shuddered in fear. "Yes, I have been doing what you instructed. The poison is slow to react, but I'm certain it will take effect by next week. I can't give a particular day.""Hmph... I hope your words are true or you know the consequences" Ivan threatened. "I need him out of that seat so that I can become the next CEO of Gonzalez Infrastructure. After taking him down, we'll get rid of everyone th

JealousyIsabella's POV*Hmph...think you're better than me, hun?* I scoffed inwardly, maintaining a perfunctory smile.So bold of her to have asked why I left Korea to come work at Spotlight Desk. Not even the higher-ups knew the truth.My mother had died a long time ago and...."Miss. Fernanda, Miss. Moretti" A thick voice called, interrupting my thoughts. My smile faded away as I shifted my gaze off Luisa to see who had called.It was a young-looking looking naive man dressed in a blue suit and a pair of black pants."What is it?" Luisa asked indifferently.The man bowed slightly. "I'm sorry if I interrupted your peaceful time. The thing is Mr. Gabriel wants you to come for a photoshoot right now with Miss. Moretti.""Now?" I arched an eyebrow. "How come we weren't informed about it beforehand?""We also weren't informed, but who are we to refuse the directors" the man replied."Ugh...who leads like that?" I scoffed, looking at Luisa who strangely remained silent.She sighed and ut

A bold moveElizabeth's POV"Who told you I'm engaged to Diego?" I questioned, stupefied by the accusation.Raphael scoffed in disgust. "Isn't it obvious? He clings to you like a leech and you never shun him. Your parents are also not against him.""Wow, your imagination is beyond my understanding" I smiled mockingly, then snorted. "Don't tell me you keep tabs on me. If that's it, you better stop. You won't get anything good out of it. Besides, my dad won't be lenient with you if he finds out you're stalking me. You're dad's job...""I'm not stalking you" He cut me off sharply, his expression grim. "I'm not that irresponsible. I should also make one thing clear - I won't get over my feelings easily, so till I'm over you, stay out of my sight. Please...""That's my line, Raph" I retorted coldly. "It's my father's house and his company. I'm free to do whatever pleases me and appear wherever I want."Raphael's jaw clenched and his hands balled into a fist."Fine. Suit yourself" He grumbl

ConfessionAdrian's POV"Boss, I found something" Miguel announced. "Pardon me, but I hacked into Madame's phone.""Go on" I urged."The second to the last person she spoke to was a colleague of hers in Spotlight Desk. Her name is Rose" Miguel further revealed. "They were supposed to meet at Madame's house, but she met with someone else. That isn't the important thing right now. The main thing is the same Rose was seen going into Elite Club through the CCTV footage an hour before Madame got there."I was confused. "Unharmed?""Yes, boss" Miguel affirmed. "She went in on her own accord. We need to find her before she escapes. I believe the men you captured are in the best position to help solve the mystery.""Can't you dig further?" I queried, clenching my fist."I can, and I'm on it, but we need the men's confession too" Miguel stated with conviction.A moment passed before I replied. "Fine. I'll head to the basement when I'm done sorting the hospital issues. For the time being, focus

RescuedAdrian's POV"Get your filthy hands off her now" I commanded with an indifferent voice. I realized showing my emotions would only put me at a disadvantage. Yes, it was my territory, but I needed to maintain my image."Or what?" The man challenged, snapping his fingers. Two of his men tossed their guns aside and dashed towards me with their fist balled, ready for a fight."Hmph...." I pursed my lips and dodged the first fist effortlessly. I grabbed the second one and twisted it, making the man wince in pain.Satisfied, I sent him flying backward with a strong kick. The first man was staring at me with shock written on his face.It wasn't my fault. I barely showed my skills unless I was pushed to the wall. Also, controlling my strength was quite difficult. My blood was already boiling with excitement. They had angered me, awakening the demon in me.I swiftly grabbed his neck with his hands and slammed his head against the wall. I repeated the same actions again and again till he

AttackedAdrian's POV"He's gay!!" James yelled, his face etched with horror. "What the actual heck?!"I smirked. "I know, right? I texted Miguel before Philip arrived. I told him to prepare more men and get incriminating evidence that could bring the enemy down.""You mean you knew about this all along?" James questioned, looking upset.I shook my head in denial. Not like I owed him any explanation, but he needed to know the truth."I didn't know about the truth until you mentioned it" I countered. "I'm surprised too, but nothing in this world is supposed to catch us unaware. There's still more we haven't known of yet."James laughed wryly, scrolling through his phone. "I get your point, Big boss, but this man is old. Videos are trending online, except for the fact that his face is not visible. He's lucky.""He's not" I argued. "We made it that way. If he doesn't get his people off my land within the stipulated time, the full video will be released.""Gross!!" James whined. "It's dis

HopelessLuisa's POV"How much is the money?" I berated, cutting him off."Money?" The man laughed. "Who told you we needed your money?""What then do you want?" I asked, sensing an ominous sign."Keep quiet and hear him out. Stop jumping to conclusions on your own" Spencer chipped in, his tone threatening. I didn't dare speak after that.I remained silent, waiting patiently to hear their demand. Suddenly, the door opened and men holding guns trooped in with a grim look on their faces.My heart jumped into my mouth as I stared at them with fear written on my face. It was not what I planned for.My head snapped to the two men sitting in front of me."What's going on here?" I questioned, my voice trembling. "I thought the deal was between the three of us.""It is" Spencer replied, smirking. "We just need to make sure you follow every instruction given to you without showing even a tiny little bit of resistance. Stanley, over to you.""Now, listen" The elderly man called Stanley said, hi

A shocking revelationAdrian's POV"You killed him?" James asked, his brows raised. "Why?""He became worthless the moment he failed to perform the simple task given to him" The old man stated, blowing the smoke off the pistol in his hands. "I don't hold on to cowards for too long."I scoffed inwardly, observing the man. It was quite rare to find old men like him with such guts. Others would have left their lackeys to do the dirty work."Now, back to business" He broke the silence, glaring hard at James. "Were you the one who knocked my right-hand man down?"James swallowed hard and threw a glance at me. He wasn't scared, was he?The old man's gaze was piercing. Even the rest of the men my people had managed to subdue were shaking in fear. I guessed it was understandable.Getting involved was inevitable then."He did" I replied with an indifferent voice, dipping my hand into my pocket. "Your men trespassed by working on the land that legally belongs to me, so they had to pay. Don't te

First VisitLuisa's POV"Elite Club" I declared, getting into the cab I had ordered a few minutes ago. "Please, be quick."Strangely, the cab didn't move. I saw the driver frown through the rearview mirror."Elite Club?" He questioned, sounding displeased.I nodded in affirmation. "Yes, Elite Club. What's wrong?""Haven't you heard the rumors surrounding that place?" He questioned, his voice laced with warning. "You should have heard of people going in and never coming out again."I broke down in cold sweat. "What?!""Yes, it's a club everyone is familiar with here in the Philippines. You should have heard of it" The driver stated. "I don't mind taking you there since I'll be parking outside where the crowd would see me. But if you go inside, your life won't be in your hands anymore."It was my first time hearing about Elite Club. It sounded unique at first. Maybe it was unique in its way. At that point, I recalled my conversation on the phone with the strange man.I shook my head to

DefeatAdrian's POV"Big boss, I'll take care of the ponytail guy" James whispered, his lips curved into an eerie smile as his hands balled into a fist.I smiled knowingly. "I know. You can do whatever you want. Just don't get hurt, and try hard not to show all your trump cards; I can't risk allowing the enemies to predict our every move.""Roger that, Big boss" James replied absentmindedly. I was certain the wind had blown half of my words past his ears.Our men had already engaged in one-on-one combat with the enemies. The strength and teamwork of the enemies were way beyond what I had imagined. It was going to take a lot of guts to deal with them. I just hoped it wasn't going to lead to the part where I got involved."Okay," James snarled and dashed towards Scorpio, who already took a fighting stance.Instantly, the sound of fists echoed through the air. To my uttermost surprise, the Scorpio guy was quite deceptive; I could see it in his moves. James had received a few blows alread

AbductedLuisa's POVWhat in the world was she doing here?Immediately, our gaze met, and her eyes glittered with excitement. The thought of turning back and leaving crossed my mind, but for a reason, I couldn't move."Luisa!" She screamed out, rushing to me. "I've been trying to reach you for a week now."I inhaled sharply to calm my racing heart."How did you get my house address, Sarah?" I questioned with a cold voice, my gaze darkened.Sarah shrugged. "I had to speak to someone at Spotlight Desk. Don't blame me, it was the only way I could get to you. I was here last night, but you weren't around."I kept listening to her blabbering, anger rising in the pit of my stomach. Whoever disclosed such confidential information to her had put my life at risk. What if she came here with bad intentions?I took a deep breath. "Sarah, now that you've seen me, you can leave now."I tried to walk away, but she pulled me back. The image of the last incident flashed before my eyes. I swatted her h

SOSAdrian's POVIt was the audacity for me. Alvarez Innovation was a growing company that started four years ago, unlike Santoria Industries which has been in existence for decades now.Perhaps, their head knew nothing about the power we held in Asia. It seemed some people just needed to be lectured the hard way to instill discipline into them."Big boss" My bodyguards acknowledged me in unison.I nodded in approval and turned to one of them. "Go tell the head of our construction workers to keep working. Whatever's going to happen shouldn't bother them.""Noted, boss" He replied, and walked away.The rest of them didn't need to be told. They all marched towards the place the enemies claimed to be their territory. I didn't even need to be at the front line. Soon enough, bones cracked and shrill screams echoed through the air.James walked up to me with a satisfying smirk on his lips."Big boss, the man we spoke to earlier wants to say something" He revealed."Bring him over" I ordered
