Rescued

Adrian'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

    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

    CaughtAdrian's POV"It was all Rose's idea" Stanley began, breathing heavily as he stared at his younger brother who had passed out.James, on the other hand, was busy cleaning up his tools. I was sure he was listening with rapt attention."Go on" I encouraged. "Who exactly is this Rose? How did you get to know her and what has she got to do with Miss. Fernanda?"Stanley sighed deeply. "Rose works in the studio department in Spotlight Desk. After the drug scandal, she came to us and made an offer.""What offer?" I probed."To get rid of Luisa for her" Stanley replied. "It seemed they had issues a long time ago, so Rose saw the drug incident as an opportunity to have her revenge. She fabricated the lies, she also gave us the lady's house address. We were only doing our jobs.""So you're saying she has no sick mother?" James chipped in, his brow arched.Stanley shook his head solemnly. "No, she doesn't. Like I said, it was all a lie to draw the lady out to us."At that moment, my phone

    RealizationLuisa's POVI slowly opened my eyes, wincing at the bright lights. My heart throbbed and my mouth felt dry. Where was I?My eyes fluttered around as I became conscious of my environment. Machines beeped and IV tubes snaked down my wrist. There was this banging pain in my head that doubled as I tried to recall the incident before I blacked out."Arhhhhh" I growled in frustration.Suddenly, I heard the door creak open. I strained my eyes to see a young man wearing a white coat with a stethoscope wrapped around his neck."Oh... I see you've woken up. That was fast" the man stated with a bright smile that made my heart beat faster."How did I get here?" I asked, my throat patched and my voice hoarse.His brows arched. "You don't remember? You were drugged and Mr. Martinez brought you to the hospital.""Adrian!" I exclaimed in surprise. "How did he find me?""That means you don't remember anything" The doctor sighed deeply. "You should try to relax your brain for the time being

    EmbarrassedElizabeth's POV"Is everything set?" I questioned harshly, glaring hard at the maid who stood before me, shuddering in fear with her gaze fixed on the ground.She nodded her head vigorously. "Yes, it is.""I want no mistake" I warned sternly, satisfied with her reaction.Yes, they were all supposed to fear and respect me. I was the future mistress of the Martinez family and should be treated as such.I stole one last glance at the kitchen, before turning to leave.I must admit, George was a smart man. Who would have thought he could come up with a plan like that? Up until now, I had only thought of him as a bed warmer. Good for him, he managed to change my view.Unfortunately, I haven't seen him for two days now. I heard he got busy at the company, so I had been the one visiting Martinez's familiar mansion discreetly. I just hoped I wouldn't get caught before the D-day which was tomorrow.I found my way to the living room, I grabbed my bag from the cushion, and turned to l

    Discharge papersAdrian's POV*Oh, Adrian. Why did you speak to her like that?* I questioned myself as I headed to Ruiz's office to sort out Luisa's discharge papers.I was just so irritated by the fact that she was fooled. I mean why did I have to take out my anger on her when the main culprit was in prison awaiting judgment?My thoughts ended the moment I got to Ruiz's doorstep. I knocked lightly and opened the door after getting an answer. He was having a conversation with a nurse, who left the moment our eyes met."Excuse me, Sir" She muttered as she walked past me.I simply ignored her and walked in, making myself comfortable in the visitor's seat."I want her discharged today" I declared.Ruiz pouted as he adjusted his glasses with his index finger."I'm confused. Her treatment hasn't been completed yet. She still needs to be monitored for at least two more days" He tried to explain, but my mind was made up."I can't trust that she'll be safe here while I'm away" I countered fir

    BootlickingElizabeth's POV"Are you ready, Liz?" My mum questioned repeatedly as she fixed up my dress.I nodded every time to satisfy her and to avoid more questioning. You know it was such a blessing to know that Elder Martinez hadn't mentioned a word about our encounter to my parents. It would have been disastrous.Well, let's just pray he doesn't say anything during the gathering. I..."Argh, mum!" I jolted out of my thoughts and screamed out in pain the moment my mum tightened my corset excessively. "What was that about?"Her face was so full of innocence as I looked at her through the mirror."Your curves have to be visible, you know that, right?" She questioned with a voice of conviction. "Your dad won't tolerate mistakes."I rolled my eyes in frustration. She was always bringing that man into our conversation."Mum, I think we're done here" I stated, trying to grab her hands behind me.She swatted my hands away. "No, we're not. We still have some more fitting to do, or do you

    A liabilityAdrian's POV"Ugh... Took you long enough to get here" The old man scoffed the moment our eyes met."I planned on coming when the party was almost over. Thankfully, my assistant took it upon himself to clear my schedule" I retorted, my voice full of mockery. I had come fully prepared for his shenanigans.My eyes scanned the whole area as I recognized my brother and the lady in a red dress. The rest must be the parents of the young lady."Don't stand there, Big bro. Join us" George chipped in with a soft voice, his gaze full of pretense.I smirked and walked up to the seat on my grandfather's right hand. I made myself comfortable and cleared my throat."What's my business here?" I asked, my voice flat."You're here for a family gathering with the Lopezs. We already talked about this" The old man snarled. "Before we dig into our meals, let's have a little introduction. Mr. Lopez, do you mind introducing yourself?""I don't" I heard a thick voice say. I looked up to see the s

    DruggedElizabeth's POV*How dare he call me a liability?* I grumbled inwardly, angered by the insult.Why did I have to work when I had shares in my name with rich parents catering to my needs? Labor was meant for only those in the slump.The fact that he had suggested I got married to George was even more outrageous. Initially, I was scared, wondering if he already knew something about our affair.Hmm... Very soon. Yes, I just needed to be patient for a few minutes. I was going to make him eat his words by the time I was done with him.I, Elizabeth Lopez, would be the only woman in his life. No one, not even Adrian himself or the old man, was going to stop him.The moment he sipped the wine, my heart leaped for joy. I was quick to notice the signs he was revealing. Yes, I had won. Just two more steps, and he'll be mine.The moment he stood up, I knew the time had come. Instantly, he slumped to the ground and lost consciousness.Everyone stood up with shock written on their faces. I

    HopelessValerie's POVMy eyes shot open, and my chest heaved. Sweat beads trickled down my face as I tried to recall the details of the nightmare.Wait. Was it even a nightmare?"Oh, the princess is awake, huh?" A male voice whispered, his voice laced with mockery.At that moment, my senses woke up and my sharp gaze settled on the two men standing...No, they weren't standing. They were obviously kneeling before me. The two of them were shirtless, revealing the snake-like tattoos on their bodies. The one who spoke was blonde haired with grey eyes and a slender physique, while the second one had black hair with a touch of grey on it. His brown eyes was filled with mix of disdain and lewdness. His sturdy build was the most scary thing.What the hell was I doing with them?"Who are you guys? Where am I?" I questioned, my voice hoarse. A sharp pain shot through my head as I tried to put together the scattered pieces of images in my head. I couldn't help but wince in pain."Oh, she has a b

    DisappearanceAdrian's POV"Tch... You bitch" I cursed, almost biting my tongue.I couldn't understand how we managed to bump into her without getting a warning from James.I shifted my gaze to Miguel. "What did he say?"Miguel shook his head slowly. "Nothing. He isn't responding.""If you're talking about the friend you left outside, he's probably dead by now" I heard Valerie say, and my blood boiled in anger."What do you mean?" I snapped.Valerie snickered. "Exactly what you heard. I already made plans just in case Jude and the waitress messed up. My men would have ambushed him by now. Now, back to our discussion. I have my terms and conditions."I frowned with a disturbance in my heart. "What terms?"Valerie smiled. "It's simple. You ditch that kitten, we get back together and you announce it to the world. Also, you help me get my company back."I was stupefied. "You're insane!" I snarled."I know" Valerie retorted. "Do you agree with my terms and conditions or are you going to re

    TwistValerie's POVFlashback......"I hope that dirty waitress does her job perfectly well" I snorted, eyeing Levi suspiciously. I was still yet to understand why he decided to stick around after stating clearly that he wanted nothing to do with us anymore."She will" I heard Jude say. "She knows the consequences of failing.""Good," I stated, my eyes fluttering around the room we were in as I marveled at the scent of luxury. "How could she even afford this kind of suite in a club?"Jude chuckled. "She's the club owner's favorite and his bed warmer. What more can we expect?"She was already enjoying her boss, but it seemed her greed was insatiable. I mean, why else would she agree to my proposal?I laughed, shooking the thought of it off my mind. It was her business anyway. My only concern was to get what I wanted without mistakes."Good riddance" I smiled. "How many rooms do we have here?""Two" Jude replied curtly. "We've already prepared one for the mission. You can use the other

    A Bomb DetonatorAdrian's POV"Don't forget we had a deal" Jude chipped in, glaring hard at the young lady. "One word from you, and you'll be dead."I smirked, studying her body response. "He's surrounded; he can't touch you. His words are just empty threats. Tell me the truth and I'll have you protected by my men till everything is over."The overwhelmed lady broke down in tears, her body trembling. "I... I.... don't know" She stuttered, falling to her knees.Javier was getting impatient. He walked up to her and cocked his gun, pointing it to her head. "You don't what?" He snapped. "Don't even try to scream or you'll be meeting your maker the second you do."The lady covered her mouth with her right hand, breathing heavily. Her body was drenched in sweat, and her skin was burning hot."Speak!" Javier barked, and the lady whimpered."I'll tell you" She stated. "But you have to promise to let me go. I'll pretend like nothing ever happened."I burst into laughter, stunned by her confid

    The SearchAdrian's POV"She switched dresses with her" Javier stated the obvious, infuriating me further.I banged my fist against the wall, letting my anger control me. The next thing I did was to land a punch on the wall mirror, shattering it into pieces. I ignored the blood dripping from my knuckles and landed another blow on the next mirror."That's enough, Adrian. This is not the best way to solve this" Javier warned sternly.But I was too livid to listen. I swiftly threw a punch at him, but fortunately, he dodged. I didn't have enough time to withdraw my fist before he grabbed it and threw me a punch in the face."Get yourself together, man" He shouted in anger.I grabbed the sink and leaned on it for support."Shut the fuck up!" I cursed, spitting out blood. "I can't even find her. Who knows what they've done to her? How do I face her after this?""You're overwhelmed, Bro. I've never seen you like this" Javier revealed soberly. "You're forgetting it's a live video. They haven'

    ImpersonationAdrian's POV"Where the hell is she?" I cursed silently, looking out for Luisa and the man she danced with. I couldn't believe my carefully mapped out plan to make sure she danced with someone we were familiar with failed woefully.As I searched for her, something kept tugging at my heart - the image of a lady behind a cat-like mask. The lady I danced with. We didn't exchange a word, but her smile kept me troubled.Who exactly was she?I felt a light tap on my shoulder, making me turn swiftly, on high alert."Chill, bro. It's me" Javier whispered. "I'm sorry that happened. I've checked everywhere but I can't seem to find her.""Tch..." I clenched my fist in anger. "What about the man she danced with?""Also nowhere to be found" Javier replied with a solemn voice.Instantly, my eyes caught sight of a familiar silhouette, dressed the same way I last saw her."Wow!" Javier exclaimed, staring at her. "Where did she go?"I ignored him, walking up to her. I grabbed her tiny ha

    A SyringeLuisa's POV"Tch... Who made such a rule?" Adrian gritted his teeth in annoyance as he grumbled with a low voice. "This is the first time such is happening."I couldn't respond, because it was my first time attending a masquerade ball. I never really knew the rules.My eyeballs suddenly widened in realization.I turned to Adrian. "Who's the host?"He shrugged. "No one knows. There's a familiar signature on it; one that I'm used to. If not, we wouldn't be here.""Wow!" I exclaimed in amazement. It sounded daring but dangerous."Everyone get into position" The MC stated, signifying the commencement of the first dance. "Make sure to stand on the large blue flowers on the tile. It will help you guys maintain a reasonable distance."Blue flowers? Oh... There were imprints of blue and white flowers on the floor."Shouldn't we go join the others?" I asked, but Adrian squeezed my hand in reply."I won't let my wife dance with a stranger" He muttered.I read his lips, which left me

    Dance PartnersLuisa's POV"You look stunning" Anna complimented with much sincerity, her eyes glittering with praises.She was indeed a top-notch make-up artist, who knew exactly what was good for her clients. I, myself, couldn't believe what I was seeing, my eyes fixed on the mirror."Of course, she looks stunning. It's my work of art" A sissy voice chipped in, full of pride.It was the fashion designer who helped with the dress fitting. Orlando, or what was he called? The guy couldn't just stop blabbering for a second. Nevertheless, I was grateful. Though the diamonds were too much, I still appreciated it.I didn't dare to think of reprimanding Adrian for spending his money on his wife. The masquerade ball was indeed not for the weak."Oh.. we have fifteen more minutes before the ball starts" Anna mentioned, her eyes on the wall clock.

    A Dangerous JokeLuisa's POVThe tiny hope brewing in my chest turned to dust the moment the pervert pointed a gun at my belly. I was too young to die.Again and again, I kept falling into the hands of an enemy, and Adrian kept on being threatened, having to go the extra miles for my sake.Guilt washed over me as I watched them argue back and forth. I couldn't even summon the courage to make a sound, let alone speak out."Don't you dare try to hurt her" Adrian snarled."I will if you don't do as I say" Jefferson retorted."This is bullshit" A man standing next to Adrian cursed. "How dare you harass a woman? You haven't changed one bit.""And I'm guessing you're still that little kid who can't fight for himself" Jefferson fired back."You bet" The man replied."Enough!" Adrian commanded. "I'm done listening to your rambling. What do you want, Jefferson?"The pervert's lips curved into a mischievous smile. "I don't know who this woman is to you, but I know what I want.."A moment passed
