>EMPRESS HOTEL, PRESIDENTIAL SUIT<
A group of people escorted the young man in the middle, ten fierce bodyguards accompanied the troupe as he walked in long strides across the hallway.
With his slender figure and long legs, one would mistake him for a Model. His posture exuded confidence, Accentuated by a slim-fitting suit that emphasized his broad shoulders and trim waist.
Bathed in the Cooley-lit passages and elevators, his demeanor remained cool and collected, adding to his stoic allure.
His bloodshot eyes held no emotions as he picked up his phone that was ringing.
“Yes tell me”
There was a cracking voice at the other end of the phone then a hoarse voice rang through the phone.
“Boss, we have the woman in our custody”
The young Boss sighed in relief, but his cold expression did not change a bit as he replied. “What of the goods? Did you find them in her possession?”
“No Boss, but we made sure that we caught the right person and took her to your room”
His brows knitted. what is he talking about? Did they take a woman to his room? His hold on the phone tightened.
“What are you saying? Did you take a woman to my room? Have you forgotten she is a client?”
The man on the other end of the phone must as well be shocked like the others with his cold voice for he was silent for a long time before replying with a stutter.
“The... The...Grandstand Master ordered it”
The atmosphere grew heavy, everyone following him knew that today was their doomsday if anyone made a slight cough.
“Did you take orders from Grandpa or me? Did you take me as a joke?”
The man on the other end knows that he doesn't dare make another sentence or else his life will come to an end.
Without waiting, he walked briskly towards his room and shut the door to the face of the group following him, he removed his coat and tie and tossed it across the wardrobe.
He was the only one in the room and then, 'click' the door was shut. Before he had time to know what was happening his phone rang from the bed which he had thrown it.
He checked the caller ID: Grandpa
He picked it up while trying to open the door, he heard a cheeky old voice from the other end. "Hi son, Have you seen what I prepared for you? How can you let beautiful clients like that go?"
"Grandpa, what are you doing? That woman took our goods to the wrong vendor, she was still owing me $50,000, that's why I ordered her to be brought to me" Miguel argued.
He knows that not much of an argument could make his grandfather submit to a resolve.
"Enjoy it, son, if you had gotten yourself married, I wouldn't have to do that" The old man ended the call. When he tried returning it, the number was not reachable again.
Miguel Rodriguez stood outside the bathroom door he noticed that there was someone there with an angered look. The sound of water droplets could be heard from outside where he was standing.
With his lips distorted at a strange stiff angle, he pushed the door open. She was owing his company $50,000 and she had the guts to take a bath in his room?
Soft hums were heard behind the white veil dividing the bathroom and the bathtub where he was standing. She can even hum as if it was her house.
His feet became rooted as water vapor from the water heater she was using escaped through under the veil and clouded his face.
As the vapor disappeared, and the white veil dragged to the side, he saw the woman.
There was a woman in his bathroom!
He saw her long exquisite first, followed by her simple pretty face and full lips. Her big eyeballs were lively like a geographical Galaxy screen.
Miguel Rodriguez who was used to seeing many beautiful ladies before this and most would do anything to see his smile was stunned.
Is she the client who owed him money? Looking closer at her, he became very convinced that she was not the person.
He rushed back to his room and put a call through again,
"I hope you have said your last prayers for tonight, you'll become a dead meat?"
The latter from across the phone was shaking from head to toe now, he knew he was in deep trouble.
They had taken the wrong person!
Without expecting his reply, Miguel continued: "Find the real woman and kill her! prepare for your funeral as well as hers! Nobody trespasses and go Scott free"
Then he hung up and waited for her to step out.
Miguel Rodriguez, the head honcho of the Agatha Mafia group, the notorious drug dealer and the most competent business mogul, was in total awestruck as the lady walked out of the bathroom.
She was indeed beautiful even more than most sluts he had seen so far. Most are used to Makeup and facial surgeries but the lady standing before him exuded natural beauty from head to toe.
The lady looked directly into his face, and then he saw her lively eyes very well, and slowly she reached her hand out.
What is she doing? Is she trying to dance tango with him before Introducing herself or hasn't she noticed that she was mistaken for someone else?
When she received no response from Miguel, she suddenly grabbed his pants! His muscles froze up as her hand touched his skin.
His skin crawled more on his body as she ttraced theeagle tattoo that was broadly on his chest.
This was the first time he felt something under his pants stir up as if a sleeping dogwas awakenedn. His body was suddenly displaying some sort of unpleasant reaction that he had never felt before.
He wanted to push her back. He wanted to say to her face that she was caught in place of another person, but something in him didn't want her to leave. Which had never happened before, he only made sure any lady that ended up on his bed got the better sex of their life even though he wasn't feeling it.
What is happening? Did she drug him or what? Her innocent big eyes kept boring into his, thus he was left cluelesabouton what to do.
Before he could figure out his thoughts, she suddenly grabbed his hands and dragged him toward the bed and made him fall on it see towered over him like a looming doom and slowly kissed his lips.
She looked at him with those wide stary eyes and said,
"Kiss me"
The next morning, Bella Trump woke up with a sore body as she realized that she was naked and was lying in the arms of a man. “What is this? Who's this man?" She said aloud trying to remember how she got on his bed. Miguel Rodriguez stared awake from his sluomber and saw the woman sitting beside him with a naked body. He gasped as he saw a slender shoulder full of hickeys. The pink lip marks were everywhere, even near the mole at the arousing position. Still with her mouth gaped, Miguel stared at her face, she was looking shocked as of she didn't know how she got there.The lady jerked off as soon as she saw him with the duvet around her body."You... You.... Who are you? What have you done to me?" Bella asked with a shaky but firm voice. Miguel remained silent and looked around the room. His gaze fell on the glass of wine sitting on the stool which he hadn't seen before which meant she was drunk from the narcosit drug-laced wine.Her lips and eyelashes were blinking gracefully. Sh
The study room was just adjacent to the father's room. Bella vamoosed into the study room with a lump in her throat. As she sat down on the chair opposite her father, she silently prayed that her inner fears were never confirmed. The study room was silent save for the flipping of the books left by the window side. The long silence made her more nervous. After some time he began, "I don't blame you for staying out last night but I am just slightly afraid" then paused again. "You're an adult, so I don't expect you not to have a friend or anyone that you will visit but I just to want to know" Bella tightened her grip on her wrists. What is he going to say? She could feel her heart shaking in her chest. Without knowing, tears ran down her face. The father stood up and his once fatherly care expression suddenly disappeared. His face formed a scowl and his arms akimbo. "I am sorry Dad" she managed to say. The tears on her face didn't make a difference to the father as he began his wor
Bella sat like a lifeless log on the chair in the study room. The stepmother was there too adding more fuel to the already burning inferno in her father’s heart. She wondered how it would have been if she was Bianca. Her one-night stand from last night added to her grief. “I hope I don’t see the bastard again because if I do, I’ll skin him alive” She swore in her mind.The atmosphere around the room was heavy. There was no sound. Each occupied in their thoughts.“The choice is yours, Bella, if you want to make it big in the movie industry, you have to agree to my terms” her father reaffirmed. Bell sighed. What is the use of having a rich father and still suffering alone? She decided to agree to his demands if that was the only chance for her to get to the top that she had always wanted to get to. “Okay Dad, I accept your proposal, but how do I spy on them? Where do I start from?” Her father broke into a cheeky beautiful smile. The stepmother also smirked. “Good decision daughter,
“STOP!” a cool and serene voice was suddenly heard. Before Bella and Camilla could know it, two fierce bodyguards stopped them.Bella and Camilla looked back and damn they were facing a handsome man whose face was stern and cold. Camilla almost turned into Jelly as they walked up to him. Bella was as well, shocked as she saw the handsome faced man clearly. She opened her mouth ajar."You?" She called with her eyes popped open.The man amidst the train of bodyguards also opened his eyes in Surprise, isn't she the woman that was brought to his room by mistake?Why on Earth is she here? He gestured to his bodyguards and made to leave the scene by entering his car but Bella stopped him."Hey, Hey, Did you think you can leave me without explanation like you did yesterday?" She blurted.Camilla and thr bodyguards that were around were surprised at that question, they wondered where the boss knew the crazy woman. Camilla moved closer to Bella and asked, "Babes did you know him?" Bella di
Miguel sat majestically on his seat as he looked at the lady before him. He silently cursed his grandpa for making such a woman end up in his room. Bella stood like an obedient child looking around the room, trying to get a hint about his post in the organization. She saw the name plate at the centre of the table bearing, "MIGUEL RODRIGUEZ, THE PRESIDENT OF AGATHA INTERNATIONAL FIRM" She froze. This man was the leader of Agatha and she was wasting her time to find him? Miguel Rodriguez was his name? "You... Are you really the bearer of this name?" She asked with a surprised tone. Miguel raised an eye with caution and disdain, "What if I'm not?"Just then, his secretary came in with a tablet about the information of Bella Trump he has asked about. Miguel was shocked as he read the information about her on the tablet.She was Cartersville Trump's first daughter. What could be her motive for coming to spy at his company? Miguel couldn't have thought of any other possibilities as he
In the next minute, Bella Trump came out of the huge building of Agatha group of companies with the boss of the organization holding her hand protectively. Camilla, who was standing outside waiting for her friend was shocked to see her coming out with the man that hand bundled her in earlier. She wanted to rush towards Bella but was stopped by the wave of bodyguards that were surrounding them so Camilla could only stare at her friend from afar. Bella Trump sat beside the man whose gaze was fixed in the road. She tried recollecting how stupid she was earlier but her brain only blamed her instead. 'What have you done to yourself Bella?' She asked herself inwardly as she looked at the man again. After a few turns, they stopped in front of the marriage registry. Bella opened her mouth in awe. How Impatient of him. She had thought that he was taking her to her father but he had actually brought her to a Marriage registry. She shot him a glance, "What are you doing? Why did you bring m
Still shocked, gentle footsteps came down from the stairs making Bella raise to her feet immediately. She tapped Miguel who seems less interested in the person walking down the stairs.Slowly, his face was visible, the man looked like he was in his late sixties. He doesn't look that old and very well kept. As he approach, Bella felt her heart thumped loudly in her chest. What does it feel like to be close to a Mafia godfather?"Yo Old man, you never subscribe to the fun TV programs, always with news and old school songs" Miguel said with his gaze on the TV to the old man. Charles Rodriguez took his seat opposite Bella who was standing and looking at him timidly. He cleared his throat and grabbed a pillow and threw it at his grandson. "Since when have I warned you to always inform me whenever you want to come home? Just going and showing up like a ghost?" He asked with a very stern and fearsome voice still ignoring the lady standing before him. Miguel threw the pillow aside, "it's
Bella Trump and Charles Rodriguez sat on the wide dining table eating and laughing happily as if they were old time friends. The old man was very comfortable with her around. She had a very jovial and charismatic air around her. For the old man that was always around old Mistresses that he mostly has, being with a younger woman is very pleasant for a change. When he had asked for her family background, she only told him that she was an orphan.“My dear, don’t hesitate to ask me anything, Grandpa will get you everything that you ever want, don’t mind Miguel that arrogant jerk, I spoiled him too much” He said.Bella smiled pleasantly even though she was cussing him silently in her inner mind. “Yes Grandpa, I like you already” After dinner, Miguel came back. Grandpa had already went upstairs. Miguel looked at Bella, “You will be staying here with Grandpa and I” “What? You will be staying here too?” Miguel shot her a glance, “Why not? We are married, why should I be staying alone,
As Miguel left the rooftop, he took a moment to focus. His mother protected him from Cartersville only for him to marry his daughter. His mind became chaotic as he didn't know what to do. When he saw that the doctor had arrived, he followed him into Bella’s ward.The doctor had already examined Bella’s injury. The wound on her thigh was recovering well and she was going to be able to walk again very soon.Miguel watched from the side. Within the time that he went out to answer the call and talk to his grandpa, she had already completely cleaned out the food. Not only that, she had even started a discussion with the doctor about how the room looked so good.She was truly a far contrast from her heartless father. Miguel wondered how he could ever let such a woman go because of the Agatha Mafia boss position.Miguel looked at the scar on her thigh and said to the doctor, “Can the scar on her thigh be removed?”The doctor rushed to speak to Miguel, respectfully and cautiously, “That dep
At Emerald Villa, Charles Rodriguez paced up and down with worry. As he calls Miguel, his worries deepened. Miguel and Bella has been untraceable for two days and to crown his frustrations, Miguel didn't call him. As he was still worried, his phone rang and Charles picked immediately with expectations of hearing Miguel's voice but it was an Agatha member."Yes, tell me what happened?" He asked partially angry. "Grand Master we have a problem! Our coast has been cleared. Immortal has bombed one of our pirate ships again, we're at their mercy right now!" the latter informed him hurriedly. The anger in Charles Rodriguez's heart deepened. "Arrange a meeting with Cartersville Trump right now!"Minutes later, at the small bar behind Emerald Villa, Cartersville sat opposite Charles Rodriguez with a smirk. "Old man, why have you summoned me?" He asked at last. Charles Rodriguez cleared his throat, "After all the instructions that was given to you, how dare you cause more trouble?" To C
Miguel paced the entrance of the ward so she could sleep when she heard her grunt from her sleep. He rushed to the ward and touched her forehead. Bella is having fever as her body temperature raised more than the normal temperature. "Bella are you fine?" He asked gently. She is finding it hard to open her eyes she grunted in pain, "Miguel, it hurts. My whole body is painful"Miguel looked at her small face all scrunched up. She was as pale as a sheet of paper and her small and weak lips were shriveled together. Her appearance made his heart seize up.He raised his head. “Don’t you hear that? My wife said that she’s in pain. Get the doctor to treat her quickly!” he snapped at the nurses on standby. When the nurses left to fetch the doctor, Miguel's gaze stayed on her face. She had opened her eyes now but didn't want him to see her on pain. When he saw her turning her head away, his eyes darkened and he blamed himself immediately. He used his large hand to turn her face towards hi
To oppress Bianca that day, Bella called Miguel to come and pick her up from the movie location regardless of several eyes watching. When he arrived, he tossed a paper at her without sparing her a glance, “Here, Grandpa is gifting you”Bella snorted and collected the file from him and read the contents which reads that she is now the new owner of a particular land in one of the marketable areas in Liverpool. Bella’s eyes widened, “is this really for me?”“You have won his heart so he gifted you that land to use for whatever that you like you should be very grateful for it. Not many people can afford an Agatha land” He replied still focused on the road. Bella didn’t reply but instead was focused on the paper in her hand and admiring it with a big smile on her face. Deep down of him, that land was gifted by Miguel under his own name but he had to give her the land under Grandpa’s name for some reasons. Bella still smiling to herself like someone that won a lottery bluffed, “Grandpa
The next day, Bella did not see Miguel when she woke up in the morning. Perplexed, she asked grandpa “Where is Miguel?”The old man replied with a smile, “That arrogant punk left for work earlier today, did you sleep well?"She smiled simply, "Oh yes, and you Grandpa?" Bella thought to herself, as she walked to the dinning, Miguel Rodriguez is getting more creepier by the day. The more she tried to understand him, the more difficult it is.Thinking of it that way, she began to pity Miguel for carrying the responsibility of the great Agatha.Filming for the television series was going to begin soon. Bella was to play the role of an upright yet evil second female lead. The first filming site was in Liverpool filming studio, so on the day filming began, they gathered there. The sign on the door had the name of the series, “Tears of the sun”, written on it. The novel had been insanely popular when it was released, so there was a lot of hype over the series even before filming had begu
Miguel's eye widened, he sighed in exhaustion, "Bella Trump what did you know? I'm doing all these for your own benefit yet you're being obstinate? You should be prepared for all these when you came to my office to ask for marriage! With your stupidity, you definitely won’t be able to survive in this world of organized crime. Your father caused all these so you should deal with it. I don't like repeating myself, especially to people of questionable intelligence like you.”Bella listened to him rant with clenched hands and said angrily, “If you have something to say, say it properly. Don’t insult me for no reason. What’s wrong with my intelligence? I came to ask you for marriage why did you agree? You should handle whatever you and your Mafia gangs are doing, I'm not moving out!” Bella could not help but think that the conflict between the two of them was likely caused by another demand from the Agathas. She wondered what they asked of him to prompt all these. "If anything happens to
As Miguel drove to the office that morning, his mind keep flashing back to what his grandfather said about the Agathas request. "Can I really let Bella Trump go?" He wondered. As he continued to drive, a school boy in a bicycle suddenly overtake him almost causing an accident which made Miguel stopped the car. That's when Miguel realized that he had to take her away from Emerald Villa. He had his own house, he can as well take here there. Grandpa went for golf club as usual when Miguel returned home only to find his wife at the dinning table eating Noddles. Miguel watched her pick up her chopsticks, twirl it around some noodles, and stuff it into her mouth as she started to eat heartily. He closed his eyes, exasperated at her foolishness and called out “Hey Bella Trump can you have some bit of courtesy?.”Immediately, Bella turned her head in surprise. When she saw Miguel, she almost fell off her chair.“Hey! Are you practicing how to be a ghost incase you die? Must you always
Bella woke up in a warm embrace with a splitting headache. She slept well, like she never did in days. But due to the effect of the alcohol, she was having headache.She raised her hand to rub her eyes and saw patches of green leaves from the window above her head. Bright and beautiful sunlight was streaming through the haps in the Leaves and shining warmly on her body. There was even melodious chripping from the birds nestled gracefully above the peach tree."Where is this?"Lowering her had to scan the environment she got to know that she was in EMERALD VILLA and she was actually sleeping in a car. To even burst her brain, Miguel was sleeping peacefully beside her which means she had slept in his embrace for the night.'What the heck!!"Bella tried to get up from the car but hit her head on the roof of the car. She bit her finger subconsciously what a mess she had put herself in. "Alcohol is my greatest enemy" she lamented"What are you doing?""I was thinking if I had get drunk a
After finally reaching their home, a problem arouse as they were getting out of the car. Bella rushed to Miguel 's car and hugged it like a big white darling as she refused to let go. . "Oh my baby, how much I love you" Miguel 's expression was changing furiously like traffic lights as he watched her drunken antics. Remembering the stress he had passes through to get her out of the hotel made him want to cuss at her for calling a car baby instead of him. "Everything is my fault. I would have left her there then she wont have came here to be admiring a car" He thought to himself as he looked at her. Bella Trump moved to the bonnet of the car and flung herself on it, "Oh my big darling, I want to marry you!!" She shouted to the night. Miguel Rodriguez almost erupted in laughter as he heard this. And suddenly he wanted to curse, he wanted to curse Alcohol! He wanted to curse Bianca and her family for making her so depressed to the stage of getting this drunk. With angry face,
