"Because I've already made up my mind. Plus, you're my girlfriend and will be the next Mrs. Walker, so your place is right next to me. The place I can see you!"The next Mrs. Walker!? I swallowed. Does that mean he'll get down on one knee someday? Or he is proposing to me now. I frowned but my jaw dropped." Don't tell me you're surprised to hear that! " I nodded in response to his question. "I don't think it's something you'll be surprised since you already know my intention to make you mine. That's why I made you my personal assistant. To be close to you."I didn't detect any lies when he said that to me. It was as if he was born to say those words and make me his. Has he been this sweet all along?He reached out my hand to intertwined with his hand. "I'm sorry. I set you in my plans. It cause you lose your dream job but you should know this too. You can be more than just being a graphic designer. I've seen your potential. You deserve more than the company has to offer you. ""Or mo
Both Eliana and Jackson laughed out loud while mom tried her best to cover up her laughter as well by biting her upper lip. Did I miss something? At the same time, I looked at Mr. Walker.Eliana wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She nodded as she spoke. " That's a good joke. " while taking a deep breath after she stopped laughing."So you two fell in love after your first meeting huh? Awe… so sweet." She repeated the question again and also answered it.Now I know why they laugh. They must have thought I was joking when I said Mr. Walker forced me to sign a contract not to mention with the fact that he was on a love mission to make me fall in love with him. It is indeed true."No. We-" I shook my head as I wanted to explain it again to them but was cut off when my phone rang. One of my cousins called me. I picked up the call."Hello Chloe."" Arghh!! Is it true? Is he really your boyfriend? Oh my god Violet you are so lucky. How did you know him? You know what, me and my
I stood at the side watching Mr. Walker being forced to drink a large glass of tonic drink. I don’t know what my cousin has put in it to make it look greenish plus have a very strong smell.As soon as we entered the spa, the men who were there quickly grabbed Mr. Walker and took him to another room. While I was left with the other girls as they wanted to hear my love story and gossip. The spa was specially closed for us this afternoon as all my cousins and even their spouses were here.The girls were so excited to find out my love story and shot me with all sorts of questions. I told them the real thing while some parts of Mr. Walker’s background remained a secret. For now, they just know that our relationship is new and still growing.They were so excited to find out that I had met someone and moved on to another next phase. But they were surprised when I told them how we met especially Eliana because she thought I was joking about it this morning.After the girls were satisfied wi
At eight in the morning, Mr. Walker and I were heading to the office from his apartment. After we back from the West Virginia last night we headed straight to the bunker where Alex detained a few days ago. As soon as we entered the bunker, William was already waiting for us in the small room. All this time they were trying to gain information from Alex. But Alex stubborn he did not want to cooperate.They had no choice but to keep him under tight supervision to keep an eye on him. And through these few day Alex has starved himself, refused to eat the food given by Mr. Walker's men at mealtimes.I stood behind a one -way mirror looking at Alex. His hands were tied to the armchair with a rope cable. He looked down at his feet as he closed his eyes. I noticed there were traces of blood on his shirt and also on his lips, I don’t recall if he had any injuries that night. Did they beat him?As I watched him suddenly he looked up and looked right in front of him. As if he was looking at me
Thomas drove the car to Mr. Walker’s apartment as we would be staying there for the time being. During the ride, the three of us just kept quiet and it lasted for a while until Thomas turned on the radio. Arriving at the apartment Thomas left us both in Mr. Walker's apartment after he put my luggage."You can take a shower first. I need to make a call." Mr. Walker said to me as soon as he came out of the room. I headed to the room without replying.I reached for my shirt and pants for me to change after the shower and headed towards the bathroom. I heard a deep sigh before I closed the door it definitely from Mr. Walker.While I was in the bathroom, I took the opportunity to relax all my tense muscles. It was a tiring day for me. All of these things made me tired along with our little quarrels. Before we left West Virginia a few hours ago we had a little quarrel.It started when he told me he wouldn’t be with me while I stayed in his apartment tonight. He has something to do and he w
I don’t understand why dad has this videotape with him. "Is this why Alex looking for my family? Because dad has this video with him?" I asked for an explanation from Mr. Walker as my forehead furrowed while shrugged.My eyes are still staring at the tablet screen. " Not only that!" Mr. Walker said. I turned to look at Mr. Walker. My eyebrows are getting deep furrowed.He took a deep breath and looked into my eyes before saying cautiously " Your father… is Bianchi!" He dropped the word in one breath. That's not the answer I expected.I don't know how to react. My jaw dropped in shock as I looked into Mr. Walker's blue eyes. Study him to find out if there is fraud. " More precisely, he’s the eldest son of Salvi Bianchi. " I still focus my attention on Mr. Walker."Who is supposed to inherit Bianchi's property which is written in the will as your great-grandfather said. And that also means you are Bianchi and will be the next Bianchi heir who inherits Bianchi's property." Mr. Walker con
The tragedy happened a few years ago when I was ten years old but to this day the pain is still there. I closed my eyes feeling a very familiar pain in my heart. My body trembled as I started crying."Did they kill my dad? Did they cause the fire? They killed him. Just to have this stupid video?" With my eyes still closed I inquired. The question began to play in my mind.I have a feeling that the incident was planned by them. If they can send someone like Alex to threaten my safety. They must have done the same to dad.I did not hear any answer from Mr. Walker and when I opened my eyes he was looking at me with a look of sympathy. He didn’t have to say anything because I think I already knew the answer. I feel like my throat lumpy. My heart shattered to pieces.I felt my knees weaken and shivered from the shock before I fell. Mr. Walker managed to catch me before I fell to the floor. "How could they! Their own blood! Dad!" My hoarse voice cried in Mr. Walker's arms."Dad." The name k
Today I learned a few things about Bianchi. Surprisingly they are dad's family. With every piece of information, I knew about them, I concluded that they wanted something from dad. Something related about a will.And among the Bianchi, I have a lot of interest in James Bianchi. I think he knew who I was all this time and somehow I got the instinct that he was the mastermind behind this. It didn’t matter how many times I read the agreement or watched the video over and over again.Only one question that always played in my head. Why him? Why did dad make an agreement with him? why? I think I’ve got the answer but I don’t want to make any assumptions.I still have to find solid evidence to show that he was the perpetrator. And to find that evidence requires a lot of work. I need to know what their motives are? Why are they looking for the videotape? I’m sure whoever planned this, they must have made the move a long time ago.And they are also very persistent towards what they want and w
