"Oh! Come on Grandpa, you can not do this to me." Mark raised his hands then dropped them in frustration, as he leaned on the office desk looking at the stubborn old man.

Raising his eyebrows, the old man looked at him the way he mostly did at the conference room.

"Grandpa, that promise was made years ago when I was a small boy. I didn't have anyone in mind then, but now I already have someone I like."

"You! What do you mean someone you like?" Pointing at him, he questioned getting more agitated.

"I love someone else grandpa, and this marriage with Sasha won't be a happy one. If I'm not happy, I can't run the company well, besides we don't need a merger, the company is doing well. We will keep doing business with them anyway." Using what he believed was his grandfather's weakness, Mark made his argument.

"You think I only care for the company, huh?" The old man questioned looking at him intently. "I love you my grandson, and very much want to see you happy, but I can't let you mak

    Mark Johnson was her host? Staring at him, Melissa still couldn't believe it. She had told herself no way they could meet until she believed buy now here he was. He was much more handsome than he was in those damn magazines, and she didn't know what to do. "Should I run? No, you can't, smile and act like nothing happen. Just smile Mel." She convinced herself but her face was frozen, she could only frown. "Melissa dear are you okay?" Mary inquired seeing the frown on her face. Still in shock, she looked at Mary forcing her brain to coordinate with her body. "Yes I...I'm fine. Wel..welcome sir." Moving to give way, she felt dizzy almost falling as she lost her footing but Mark held her. As his arms wrapped around her tiny waist, an electric bolt ran through her spine. "Hi, Melissa are you okay?" He smiled still holding her gaze. Unable to form any words, she nodded stepping from his arms flinching when he tried to support her again as she hit the chair behind her.

    "Oh! Melissa, what is wrong with you?" With a deep sigh she fell on the bed burring her face in the pillow. "How could you let him get under your skin that easily?" Dragging herself from the bed, she lamented walking to the bathroom. After having the longest shower, she got in bed but couldn't sleep. Still remembering her make out session with Mark, she touched her lips reliving the kiss and feeling disappointed at the same time of how easily he pushed her away. "You're so stupid Melissa, how could you let your guard down like that? You can't fall for him, this is no time for love." She reprimanded herself for thinking about that kiss. Since that night four years ago she was wary of men touching her. Turning down every man that asked to be more than a friend, but tonight she let Mark touch her, and it felt right and natural to lose herself in his arm's. Melissa had never let her mind think of what happened that night, but while lying in bed her thoughts took her back to the smal

    "Ahem! Miss we're here." As they pulled up at the mall parking lot, the driver announced waking her from her deep thoughts. Last night lying in bed a few doors away from Mark messed with her mind. She couldn't sleep very well as that kiss kept popping in her mind making her imagine of doing more than just kissing him. Hoping to buy time to think of what she would do next, she left early avoiding running into him. "I want you." With his words still lingering in her mind, and after what happened between them, Melissa wished she could leave his home, but it was not that simple. "Thank you Adams and please call me Melissa, you don't have to be so formal." Meeting his eyes on the rearview mirror, she spoke smiling at him. Being an employee like them, it did not feel right being treated as the mistress of the house. "Okay, sure won't forget next time." "Fine, and oh, don't wait up for me, I'll be meeting with a friend later, but I'll call when I'm done so you can come pick me up.

    Thinking of Mark , and the fact that she had to live in his house, scared Melissa a little. Him being her boss with the history between them made her uneasy having to face him everyday at home, but luckily it was just for a few days."Just act like any other employee." She told herself holding a second cup of steaming coffee in her hand. She needed to find that man, get the evidence her father had against Mr Steven, and make him pay for all he made her go through."I have to get that information before I complete my project." She thought to herself feeling the pressure almost overwhelming her. Melissa only had a few weeks for her contract to expire and when it does, she won't have a reason to live in Mark's house. Though she planned to tell him about her son, she didn't think she could use him to stay a little longer. Or could she? Thinking about it, Melissa hoped it wouldn't get to that. "Hi Mel, sorry I'm late. I had to pass by the office first. You know how it is running you

    With Diana's insistence, Melissa didn't have a choice but to introduce Adam's as the person who was hosting her. "Oh wow is that him?" Seeing the man leaning on a limousine, Diana asked with a frown. "Yes, that's him. He works as a chauffeur." Seeing Diana raise her eyebrows, Melissa had to explain so she didn't think she was with a rich guy. Afraid of making her more suspicious. "Oh I see, I thought your host was some old rich guy." Diana scorned a sly smile on her face as they walked over to Adams. "He's my aunts old friend, guess he's trying to impress me so I can put in a good word for him." She hated the lie but she had to. As they neared the car, Adams walked over to greet them. "Uncle Adams, thanks for coming to pick me up." "It's no problem, I was dropping off a client not far from here. Who's your friend?" Adams questioned following her lead. "Oh, this is my friend Diana, the one I told you I was meeting today. We actually grew up together but lost contact when I left t

    At the Steels logistics and transport company, Diana walked into the office with elegance and authority. Being both beautiful and successful, most of the employees admired her. Supporting her as she worked hand in hand with her father to run the transport business. Though her father was the boss and owner of the company, she worked hard, handling all the shipments, and supervising everything personally."Dad!" When she got to the office, she hugged Mr Steven who was not surprised by her childish stunt. Though Diana was all grown up, he always treated her like a child. Spoiling her more than he did her younger sister who was never interested in the transport business. Always at loggerheads with her father and her elder sister, she choose her books. Since she joined the university to study journalism, she kept to herself mostly avoiding family gatherings."How did the meeting with Melissa go?" Mr Steven inquired, taking a seat on the coach. "It went well dad, we met as planned." Diana

    "Hi, sorry for interrupting." Knocking softly, Melissa poked her head in the office. "Can I have a word with you?" She asked walking in. After what had happened, she wanted to make her request first in case he decides to send her away. Though he was busy signing the numerous documents on his desk, he stopped to look at her as she walked in."Yes, have a sit. I also want to talk to you about something, but tell me first. What can I do for you?" He invited leaning back on his chair."Ahem." Sitting on the office chair opposite him, she cleared her throat feeling self-conscious from his scrutiny. "I know we have not gotten along well, but I need your help to find out what really happened to my father's company." With his serious gaze on her, she couldn't beat around the bush."Oh! You want me to help you?" He questioned getting from his seat. "Yes." Responding, she sat up straight as he leaned on the office desk beside her. "I don't see how I can help since their was never a case.

    Seeing how upset he was, Melissa grew anxious. Afraid he would take back his offer or worse, take Tommy from her, she stood there despite how shaken she was."I'm..I..I'm sorry. We just met after four years, and I didn't know how to tell it to you." This was the day she dreaded the most. Mark was wealthy and powerful, she couldn't fight him. If he chose to take her son she didn't know what she would do. Her investigation would end as well. Her job too, but she didn't regret telling him. He deserved to know and well she thought knowing about their son would strengthen her foot in the Johnson's family. "Is that all you can say after keeping my son from me for three years?" "I'm sorry Mark, I didn't plan to keep him from you. When I found out my life was so messed up, and I couldn't look for you then." As she spoke remembering all she had gone through, tears shimmered in her eyes."Sorry I couldn't tell you when we met at the hotel." She spoke sniffing back the tears. "Why?" Loo

    “Richard, you’ve come." Cassandra rushed from the first floor carrying a doll in her hand and a lady dressed in white running after her. "Aunt Cassandra!" Mark stared at her as she wrapped her arms around his waist. "Cassandra!" Her sister peeled her from Mark. “You see, I told you Richard will come for me and our baby." She smiled, holding onto Mark’s arm, stopping him from leaving. “Yes Cassandra, let him have some rest first." Sasha’s mother took Cassandra’s hand forcing her to let go of Mark. “So sorry for that." Sasha’s mother apologized holding Cassandra back. “They diagnosed her with dementia. Most of the time she makes things up and confuses people." She explained to Mark who froze staring at Cassandra. After learning of Cassandra's evil scheme that kept his family apart, Richard sent her away. They didn't have her imprisoned but Richard declined all communication with her. “Oh! I'm so sorry." Mark took a step back when she tried to hold his arm again. Staring at what

    At the states, Sasha sat opposite her mother and grandfather, biting her fingernails. She couldn’t dare look her grandfather in the eyes. “Please forgive me. I never meant for all this to happen. Mum!” When her mother overheard her phone conversation with Diana, she forced her to confess to her involvement in Melissa’s kidnapping. “I can’t believe you are capable of this Sasha. Do you see how your obsession with Mark has hurt people?” Her mother asked with tears in her eyes. “I’m sorry!” She sniffed trying to hold her mother’s hand. “This is my fault. I pushed my daughter and granddaughter too hard. I turned them into heartless monsters. Being a Johnson was my dream and now my children suffer because of my greed.” Sasha’s grandfather said ashamed of what he had made them do. “No father, you only did it thinking of their well being. Don’t blame yourself father, they chose to force what was not working.” His eldest daughter tried to console him. “But I put the idea in them. How

    "They are moving, I have to get to Melissa." Mark glanced at the tracker in his hand. "We are almost there." Robert fastened his seat belt. "Once they pass the bridge it will be too late. Call Andrew and the police chief, they have to close the road." Mark instructed him. "I can't lose you again Melissa." He said to himself looking at the wedding ring on his left hand clutching the steering wheel. "Careful bro. We can't save her if we are dead." Seated beside Mark, Robert cautioned as he accelerated the speed. "We are running out of time, Robert. I promised to protect her." "And you will get her back." On the other side, David and his security team raided the house. They shot dead most of Diana's men, injuring several of them. "Where did they take my sister?" He beat up one of the guards but no matter how hard he hit him, he didn't say a thing. "Stop, you're going to kill him." The lady who helped Melissa shouted.

    "Ma'am, we have a problem." One of Diana's men got into the office out of breath. "Our men on the perimeter just informed me, there are several vehicles with armed men ending this way." "What? Are they police?" Diana asked as she gathered her things, stuffing them in a travel bag. "No, they look like the men from Edward's security." He explained. "Damn it. How did they find us?" She ran a hand through her hair. "What do we do now ma'am?" "Get my car ready. We have to get to the plane." She ordered walking out. "You think you can outsmart me?" Diana banged the door open and woke Melissa up. "What happened? Ouch, you're hurting me.""Get up." Diana pulled Melissa up by the hair then frisked her body for a phone. "You brought them here." "What's going on? I have nothing on me, Diana." Melissa cried out as Diana pulled her hair. "What is this?" Diana asked, looking at the tiny red light on Melissa's necklace. "What?" "F*ck, this led them straight to us." Diana plucked off the n

    Two days earlier. In Mr Edward’s office, Mark almost went mad calling everyone on his contact list. As he looked for ways to get Melissa back, David and Mr Edward organized a search team with the police and his security team when Luke Edward barged in. "You have to get out." "Luke!" Mr Edward roared as the door bust open. “There is a bomb in the office dad. We have to leave now.” The three men stared at him as he checked the bookshelf and the cabinets.Trying to get information on the new gang in town, Luke sent one of his trusted men to investigate. The man was later captured and tortured. While locked up, he overheard the plan to bomb Edward's mansion and as they took him out to finish him off, he escaped. Then went straight to Luke's office. When Luke got the information, he instructed his men to take him to their private doctor as he ran to the mansion. Though he never saw eye to eye with his father on most things, he still loved him and was willing to risk his life for h

    When Melissa opened her eyes, she glanced from the blue bed sheets to the gray painting on the wall. With her hands and feet tied, she looked around the unfamiliar room. A few minutes later, the door opened inviting in a young lady carrying food and water on a tray, followed closely by one of Diana’s armed men. “Take some medicine for your head.” The lady instructed, handing her the glass of water and a white pill. “Please untie my hands.” Melissa requested which the man obliged to. Then cuffed her left hand on the bed. “Make sure you eat. I’ll come for the plate later.” The lady instructed, after making sure she had swallowed the pill. “Where is Diana? I want to see her. I demand to know if anyone survived the explosion. Hey, where is Diana?” She asked, but no one talked back to her. They left the room, locking the door. Curled on the bed, Melissa stared at the food for a while. Watching the explosion felt like her world had ended. She didn’t want to imagine life without Mar

    Driving from Edward’s mansion with her brother, Melissa got a message from Sasha. She asked to meet at a hotel a few miles out of town for some interior deco inputs on an office she was opening in the States where she planned to relocate to. “I’m afraid I can’t come with you to the company. Sasha wants us to meet for lunch. She needs my help with something.” She informed David after reading the message. “Are you sure it’s okay to meet with her alone? I can take you there.” David said, feeling restless about the meeting. “She is not that bad of a person when you get to know her and I have to be friendly with her for Mark. The two families are very close. Whether I like it or not, she will always be around whenever we go for any of Johnson’s family functions.” She said, trying to ease his worries. “The driver will take you. Be very careful. If you suspect anything, get out and make sure to call me once your meeting is done.” He instructed, still feeling reluctant to let her go a
