Ruined mood

Luisa's POV

"What's going to happen to them?" I questioned, breaking the awkward silence in the car.

Adrian's sapphire blue eyes landed on me.

"Miguel will take care of it. I already sent him a text" He replied. "As for the video, it's been taken down. Those fools are only going to offer an apology to make things clear. You have nothing to worry about."

"I know," I said, and cursed inwardly. What's that going to make him think I found him reliable?

I looked at him, and our eyes met. I couldn't stop staring at his lips as it reminded me of the kisses we shared.

"I don't mind you staring" I heard him say, snapping me out of my daze.

Damn! Can't believe I got lost in his eyes.

I scoffed, and looked away, praying silently for an opportunity to get away from me. Though, I doubted that was going to be possible.

A few minutes later, the driver drove through a large iron gate attached to a high fence. The outside was quite ordinary, but the inside......it was mind-blowing.

    Dangerous ideas.Valerie's POV"Jude, have you sorted out my dress for the ball?" I questioned as he drove.He looked at me through the rearview mirror, his brows furrowed. "I thought you wanted to go pick your dress yourself. I already made a reservation for you.""Very good, but before that, kindly release a picture of that brat and the evidence of the surrogacy procedure" I ordered, smirking. "It's past the deadline and they haven't met our demands. Perhaps, they don't want to take us seriously. We need to show them we're not playing.""Alright, ma'am" Jude responded, holding his phone with one hand and controlling the steering with the other. "I'll text a friend of mine now."My eyes narrowed. "A friend?""Yes, he is the one who's good at the tech stuff. He's also very reliable and trustworthy" Jude explained confidently.I kind of had a bad feeling about it, but I brushed it off.My eyes brightened as I recalled something."Jude, what do you think we can do about Alicia and Jason

    MadrilenoAdrian's POVGeorge of all people??She knew how to ruin the mood. We hadn't been on a talking note since last night. I was thankful she never answered my question last night.Meeting my grandfather was equivalent to opening the gate of hell. At this point, I wasn't ready for trouble. I would consider letting him in on the truth, but not anytime soon.As soon as I was done getting ready for work, I headed straight to the dining area. I met Charles supervising the maids to set the table."Good morning, Master" He greeted the moment our eyes met.I nodded in response. "Did she have breakfast before leaving?" I questioned.Charles shook his head. "Madame said she couldn't wait, but she'll surely come home for dinner."I scoffed. "Of course, she will. Unless she wants to test my patience."I sat down to have breakfast, and in just ten minutes, I was done.I grabbed my jacket and devices and strutted out of the house. Kyle was already waiting by the car. Soon, we hit the road.Ar

    Plan BValerie's POVI took a deep breath, sparing Jude a glance. He understood immediately and moved around, placing a file on each person's table. As soon as he was done distributing it, I gave him an order."Go through it and tell me what you think. Remember, this is all about business.""Such impudence!" An old man roared, banging his fist on the table and standing up violently, causing his seat to fall backward. "How dare you? This is the highest order of disrespect."I burst into laughter. "Disrespect? Impudence? You use those words like those papers aren't telling the truth. They're authentic and just one mail to the police would get you all arrested.""We won't accept this!" Another board member yelled. "Who on earth gave you the audacity to dig dirt on us? Even your father doesn't have the guts."I shrugged, unaffected by their deathly glare. "That's one of the reasons why I intend to take over from him. He has been quite lenient with you all, which is the reason why you all

    EscapeAdrian's POV"Ugh.. you can't just come here and act like the boss of everyone" Valerie scoffed."I can" I retorted, smirking. "That's how powerful my name is. You of all people should be aware of that. Make your choice now, Valerie.""Hmph..." She grumbled, listening attentively to the words are assistant was whispering to her.I had a bad feeling about it, but well...Gradually, her lips curved into a smile of triumph; one I found suspicious."Let Alicia's children go!" I ordered again."What makes you think I took them?" Valerie questioned with a raised brow. "She means nothing to me and so do those brats. Don't you dare accuse me wrongly?""Don't play with my intelligence, Valerie. You and I both know you kidnapped those kids" I argued firmly. "Let's settle this thing maturely."Valerie chuckled. "In your dreams, Adrian. Like I said, I don't know what you're talking about."I noticed Miguel trying to say something, so I leaned closer."What is it?" I questioned.He lowered

    ResumingLuisa's POV"Hmmm....." I took a deep breath, staring at the name *Spotlight Desk* inscribed on the building in front of me.I still couldn't believe I chose to come back so early. Normally, I should have resigned, but my heart was still with them. I mean I grew my career here.With a deep breath, I took a slow and confident walk into the building. The receptionist at the front desk greeted me with a simple nod and a smile that took me by surprise.It wasn't just her. The workers did the same. They were all acting so nice that I almost puked.What was that all about anyway? Or was it because of the incident with Isabella and Rose?Well, I had just one way to find out. I made my way to Gabriel's office. A woman dressed in a black suit paired with black pants stood outside with a cold face."You can't go in, ma'am" She stopped me with a cold voice. "My boss is having a meeting with Mr. Gabriel. You have to wait."I shrugged and complied. "Okay."I sat in the lounge, keeping my

You have the building all to yourself. We've also given them the apology package you paid for.""Good" I commended. "Any text from the driver?""He is on his way with Miss. Fernanda" Jeff replied, his tone stern. "But he sent a text about being followed. I have a feeling the people on their trail are the bodyguards Mr. Martinez put in place to protect Miss. Fernanda."I chuckled amusingly. "Tell him to find a way to lose them.""Won't they inform Mr. Martinez about it?" Jeff asked with a raised brow.I smirked. "They will, and that's exactly what I want. Very soon, she'll be mine. I want that brother of mine to know he can't have everything he wants."Jeff sighed, his voice laced with caution. "Alright, sir, but I would advise you to exercise caution.

    DefeatValerie's POV"Where is this place?" I asked with caution, staring at the old structure before me.Levi cleared his throat. "It's a temporary hideout. We're staying here for a day, then we leave and never come back. I need a day to prepare a permanent solution."My brows furrowed. "Did you just say never coming back? I still have tons of tasks to complete here. I can't just leave like that. I have no intention of leaving."A moment passed before Levi replied. "Then you shouldn't have called me out of my hiding place."He sounded angry, but I didn't care one bit."We didn't have a choice" Jude chipped in."No" Levi rebuked strongly. "I can vividly remember telling you to call me only when you need to leave the country for good. It was meant to be a last-minute decision, but you used it for something this meaningless.""I got furious. "Did that look like a meaningless situation to you?" I snapped.Levi smirked, his eyes filled with disdain. "Then, let's assume you're not as smart

"According to him, a driver came to pick her up; he took her to Red Ruby Restaurant. You know who owns it."My lips parted in shock. Anger surged through my veins as I bit my lips."She's so stubborn" I snarled. "Where did she get the guts to ignore my warning?""Mr. George probably invited her to have lunch with him" Miguel explained. "He can't possibly harm her, though I doubt he knows who she is to you yet.""Yeah," I nodded in agreement. "Still, she shouldn't be seen with him. You know how sly George can be. Only God knows what motive he has for trying to get close to her.""You should call her then" Miguel suggested, and I agreed, digging out my phone from my breast pocket.Soon, I had her on the other line."Luisa" I called, masking my vexation.My ears were sharp enough to hear the distortion in

    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

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. "The ride to the event center is five minutes."A knock on the door grabbed our attention. It was one of the maids in the mansion."Master demands f

    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
