2024-10-29 19:42:56After the shower, I trudged downstairs to make myself a cup of coffee, wishing it'd help me with my growing headache. Though the medicines Adrian forced me to gulp helped with the pain, it still ached a little.
The memories of this morning flooded into my mind.
The way he held me in his arms when I had the little panic attack, the way he carried me to the bathroom because he didn't believe I could walk on my own and the way he took care of me afterwards.
A blush rose up my cheeks.
I wonder what he's doing right now…
Wait, why am I thinking of him again?
Ughh!
I need to stop thinking about him to stay sane. But how could I when he sent several messages to ask how I was doing or ordering me not to roam around much? And of course, I didn't reply to even one of them.
Though he deserved a

Silence fell over the room once everyone was gone and the door was closed. Dad's eyes met mine. "You must know by now that you can't go out of the house after what happened that night." I opened my mouth to disagree but his sharp glance stopped me. "Listen to me first. They're looking for a chance to harm you. If you go out right now, you'll be giving them that chance. And it's not only about you. Every member of our family is in danger at this moment. Practically, we are at war now." "But everyone is going out without much restrictions, then why me? I understand that they're after me for some reason which I don't understand, but I was fine until that night, wasn't I? It happened because I gave them the chance by going to that secluded washroom far from people. But I'll be fine in the office. There's no need to leave my job!" I was desperate. Even though I had gotten myself ready to fight for
The Game Of Chase His personal assistant?
Fuming, I headed towards the devil's den with Tim following me closely. How dared he do this to me? When I reached my desk after meeting Jason, I found Rose, a girl from our team, working there, on my chair and computer. Once asked the reason for her working in my place, all she said was that she was ordered to take my place from now on. She didn't have any other ideas other than that Adrian freaking Larsen himself sent Sasha with the news that my post was given to her. "And what about me? Where will I work now?" I had asked her, flabbergasted. "I don't know. It's better if you talk to the boss himself." That asshole! How could he give my post to Rose just like that? He didn't even inform me about it! Now what was going on in his demonic head? Leaving Tim behind and ignoring Sasha outside, I stormed inside his cabin an

I stared at the red faced woman, shocked.Some of her blonde strands fell on her forehead as her enraged brown eyes threw daggers at me."What the hell do you think you are doing, Sasha!" Pushing her off, I stood straight. "What's wrong with you?""And what the fuck do you think you're doing?" she spat.I pursed my lips, eyes narrowed. "What are you talking about?"A bitter laughter left her. "So you're playing saint now? But I know what you're trying to do. Wooing the boss to climb the social ladder faster? But let me tell you, just because he's good with you, doesn't mean he will fall for you. A lot of whores like you roam around him everyday, so a bitch like you won't be able to lure him into your web."With my jaw slacked, I just watched her in astonishment. How much could someone spit out venom like that?She thought I was after her boss? But damn
The Game Of Chase Yes, Sir!
Adrian's POV I just finished the video conference with my Canadian business associates when my mobile buzzed on my desk. A message from Liam. Bro, you have got a quite hot PA here! I'm seriously jealous now. But no complaints, I'm absolutely enjoying her company right now. My fingers curled around the phone. He's with her right now? I thought I had clearly warned him to stay the hell away from her after that party. But it seemed like he didn't pay any heed to my words. Getting up, I strode to the door and pulled it open. The door of her cabin was slightly ajar, and the sound of their laughter ticked me off. With my fist tightening around the door knob, my jaw clenched. He was clearly trying to flirt with her and she was letting him! I didn't know if he was doing it on purpose to get under my skin or not, he shouldn't have crossed his line. And he will soon know what were the consequences of playing with Adrian Larsen. But first, I will have to deal with my beautiful PA.

"She has a brother," replied David from the other side. "Alex, I know that. What's so important about that?" I loosened my tie, frustrated. I wanted to get a hold onto something meaningful that could lead me to Sofia's secret. "No, the other one. She has another brother. The McCommer's elder son." Now that captured my attention. "What? Sofia has two brothers? Then how come no one knows about him?" "That I don't know yet. From the information I got, she has another older brother. And he doesn't come into the light. I even got some photos of them together from some CCTV cameras, but his face was hidden in each of them. But I'm certain, it's him, her brother." The confidence in his voice told me he was saying the truth. But why would a family hide one of their children from the world? Nor have I ever heard Sofia mentioning him, not even Alex or
The Game Of Chase Let it go...
Tears blurred my vision as I ran down the hallway, Sam and Tim close behind me.My heart thumped down my chest while I prayed to God for my brother's wellbeing.When Sam told me about the incident and Alex's being admitted into the hospital, it felt like the history was repeating itself. But this time, it chose my brother instead of me.Oh God! Why him?The brother who always stayed away from the underworld and bloodshed. And now he has become another target of their hatred.Furiously wiping the tear that slipped from my eye, I rushed towards the exit."Sofia, slow down!" Sam yelled, following behind me.Other staff cast me weird glances, some even gave me the concerned ones, but I didn't care. I just wanted to be with my brother right now.I was too lost in my panic that I didn't notice when someone came

Stirring the coffee, I read the message Sam sent me about Alex's condition.He was doing well. My shoulders sagged in relief.After he regained consciousness an hour ago, he refused to meet anyone, even Mom and Dad.I was really confused about his behavior, as well as everyone else. We were so eager to see him, but he requested the doctors to give him some privacy.We didn't know how to react to this. But Robert told us that he might need some time alone to digest everything; after all he almost escaped death. Even though it was so unlike his behavior, we understood his condition and let him be.I wanted to stay at the hospital, but Robert didn't let me, not anyone else. He said he and Tim will handle everything, and Sam would be there too. So reluctantly, I agreed to come back home with others.It was almost midnight and sleep wasn't anywhe
The Game Of Chase Jealous?
Taking a deep calming breath, I pushed at my boiling temper that sneered through my veins, persuading my mind not to smash the coffee mug on my boss' head.I was standing outside of his office door right now, holding the third cup of coffee he ordered me to make for him; taking my time to cool myself down.When I went to his cabin as he commanded me to go earlier this day, I found him in a meeting with his uncle and Liam. John was also present there. His freaking boss had totally ignored me for straight 10 minutes, not even sparing me a glance. And when I asked if he needed anything, he ordered me, in an icy voice, to bring them coffee.Like really? After ten minutes of waiting?Biting down my tongue, I followed his instructions and made coffee for them. I didn't really mind when he told me it wasn't hot enough, even if it was, and to bring him another one.My t

As soon as Martha walked out after showing me our room, I was pulled flush against a hard chest. With one of his fists clutching my hair, my face was inches away from his furious one. Even when he was livid, the arm that wrapped around my waist, gripping me tight, was protective. His hold on my hair was gentle."What the hell do you think you're doing?" he hissed. Electric blue eyes were dark and flaming."What am I doing?" I blinked, licking my lower lip. "I just needed rest."His gaze followed the action. With a groan reverberating throughout his chest, he cupped my chin. Giving my lower lip a firm brush, he thrust his thumb in my mouth.My heart raced down my ribcage as I sucked on his finger, with my hooded eyes set on his. The desire came back to life in my veins.Letting out a grunt, he pressed his mouth against mine. A breathless moan escaped me as I pressed my

"Sofia!" Strong arms wrapped around me, pulling me back from Anastasia. "What's wrong, baby?" Turning to her, he growled out. "What did you do to her?"Flinching back, she clutched Dominic's hand. A fear along with concern laced across her face."I… I didn't do anything.""Adrian." Putting her behind him, Dominic warned him.Just as Adrian was about to snap back, I held on his shoulder."She didn't do anything. It's the baby. It kicked." Rubbing my tummy, I took a deep breath.It often kicked, but today it seemed like my junior Adrian was overly energized today.A sigh of relief left him. Kissing my temple, he cupped my cheek. "You alright? It doesn't hurt, right?"Nodding, I turned to Anastasia. "It seems like this little one already likes you. Otherwise it doesn't kick that hard. And I'm sorry abo

As soon as the car came to a halt, the driver was fast to get out and run to the door of Adrian's side.He pulled the door open. But his employer didn't make any effort to step out. He kept typing his phone at a furious pace, a permanent frown was set on his wide forehead.A sigh left me.Nodding at the awkward driver, signaling him to leave, I turned to my achingly beautiful and infuriating husband."We are here," I said.No answer.Not even a glance."The pilot is waiting for us."Ignored.I rolled my eyes.He has been in this foul mood since Sinister called and invited us to a very important family event in Russia. And Lilly's being there with her former yet new partner was the main reason behind the stick that stuck up my husband's ass. Lilly shifted to R

Glancing over my shoulder, he looked at the priest. "You can start now. And yes," his features hardened, "Make it quick!""Y-yes, of course, Mr. Larsen!" Came a timid reply behind me."Eager for the honeymoon?" Dimitri teased. Liam burst into laughter at that. While John had a small smile dancing on his lips, Dominic looked unbothered.All of them donned tuxedos, much similar to Adrian.As my soon to be husband sent a murderous glare at Liam, the ambience around us cackled with mirth.The priest came over and we exchanged the rings. And then everything seemed to pass like a blur until the priest asked the most awaited question."Do you, Adrian Timothy Larsen, son of Sinister Timothy Petrosyan, take Sofia Annabeth McCommer as your wife?""I do," he answered without any hesitation.My heart pounded down my c

My lips parted at the sight of him.The charcoal black tux he donned with a white shirt underneath hugged his broad and powerful upper body perfectly. Black pants, shiny black shoes and a blush pink pocket square, matching my gown, completed his look. With his dark strands combed back neatly, his jaw was clean shaved. My hands itched to touch them.Gosh!A breathless sigh left my lips. My eyes couldn't move away from the Greek god before me.He looked… sinfully gorgeous.My poor heart had difficulties to beat normally in his presence.And with that particular intoxicating cologne of his wafting to my nostrils, it just made the butterflies in my tummy crazy.I was so busy drooling at my man that I almost didn't notice how his eyes trailed down my body. Slowly and sensuously.A shiver ran

The dry leaves and wee trunks crumbled under my feet as my hesitant legs trudged through the eerie tacit cemetery. Only the chirping of the birds, hidden behind the heavy branches of the mighty trees that surrounded the cemetery, could be heard around the silent graveyard.Placing down the fresh Lilies before the newly wrought tombstone, my eyes roamed over the epitaph engraved on the stone.'Tim Jonathan Reeves1968-2020A doting father and a courageous man we will always remember with pride in our hearts.'"You shouldn't be here, you know? It's your wedding today," a whisper came from beside me.Blinking away the moisture in my eyes, I turned to her. Her gaze set on the gravestone before us."I came to seek blessings from the person who has treated me as his own daughter all his life." And to say thanks too. After all, because of him I

"Miss, you should get some rest now. You're sitting here for hours. And your injuries should also be taken care of. Otherwise you can get an infection," said the young nurse as she gave Adrian another visit to check on him.It was the fourth time she asked me to get myself treated. But nobody, even my family, couldn't move me from here. From beside the man who reigned over my heart.The man who hasn't opened those electric blue eyes yet. And since I got my consciousness back, without wasting any second, I rushed to his side. They moved him to another room after his operation.My heart clenched as my gaze roamed over his paler than usual features, ruffled hair and limp body. Just his broad chest rose and fell along with his breathing. That was the only thing that told me he was still with me.With my throat tightening, my eyes burned with tears, I gulped. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm

A scream tore out of my mouth while the love of my life was on the ground, clutching his chest. Even when his features were tensed, his determined hard eyes never left mine. Pushing at Monet's shoulder with as much force as I could gather, I somehow managed to break free from his grip and got off the chopper. But his fingers were soon to wrap around my wrist. A fury flashed through Adrian's blue eyes. Getting a hold on his gun, he tried to get up on his feet again. The veins of his neck stood out as he did so. Glancing back to Adrian, Monet raised his gun for the second time. Ready to shoot again. My heart lurched in my chest, eyes widened in horror. "No! Don't!" But my desperate shout went ignored as his finger curled around the trigger. "No!" As he was about to pull the trigger, a hand wr

Sofia's POV"They are here to take us out of here!"My heart stopped. For a moment, I was frozen. And then a tear slipped down my eye. A surge of happiness burst across my chest.They were here? He was here?For me…But then the fear for their life soon crashed on me, making the smile slip from my face.What if something happens to any of them? Monet wasn't weak or foolish. He wouldn't go down without a fight.Hurrying towards me, she started to untie my hands and legs. A wince left my lips as I moved my hands after hours. Not to forget the cuts were still fresh. Though the painkillers did reduce the pain somewhat to a bearable point."Don't worry, sweetheart! We will get out of here soon. That loathful man wouldn't be able to touch you again," she said. With shaky hands, once sh
