Angel stepped out of the house with her car keys in hand , she pressed her key button for her sports car to beep twice and unlock itself.When she sensed movement behind her , and turned to see her driver walking to her with hurried footsteps.
" Jason it's fine I will be driving myself today"Jason knew what the young miss would eventually say if he insisted only nodded and stepped back , " I will take a taxi to the company later to drive you home , Incase you over-stress yourself like yesterday " . He purposely said so as to stay on her safe side not knowing he infuriated her." What"? Angel asked him with her voice showing signs of anger" Young miss " , have you forgotten yesterday you were so stressed that you slept in the car on the way home " .Angel hissed in remembrance of the past day occurrence , when she heard the info that the fraudsters where it again that the duped an old woman leaving no trace. She over-stressed herself looking for clues that will help her nail their location , but eventually ends up with a dead end , because she can't get across to Adams .Speaking of Adams she made a note at the back of her mind to call him and give him a piece of her mind for leaving her hanging. she stamped her foot on the ground . noticing Jason is still there she tried to cover her emotions with a slight shrug ."Jason , I understand your fears, that I might over stress myself today again, eventually resulting in me sleeping while driving or putting myself in danger" . she said all at a go. " What the hell did these people take her for ? , a princess that can't protect herself?, anyways how can she totally blame them they don't know her other identify of course , she said to herself. ". you know what Jason I will give you a call after closure to pick me up" she said hoping to convince Jason because out of all the guards her father assigned to her he's the one that persevered till date, and also understands her." Ok young miss , on the condition that you will take care while driving" he said like a father giving instructions to his kid daughter. " I heard you Jason " I will be going then ", she waved at him and drove off for the latter to wave back when the car was outside.....Truth is that Jason knew his young miss identity but decided to keep it to himself , because he believed she would tell him when she deemed fit, he wanted to earn her trust so he intended to help her in the shadows without her prior knowledge with an undisclosed identity. He knows what made the young miss decide to grow strong and help the weak, he can't help but sigh when he remembered her kidnap when she was still a teen and the trauma she passed through, since then he has been on her side despite her proving stubborn and not needing help .Deep down he knew she's still a lonely soul seeking for comfort , he fished out his phone and sentq a text to anonymous with three words " Check her gps" after sending it he turned and walked inside with light footsteps .Angel drove straight to her company underground garage, she drove to her own private slot and parked, turning off the engine she made to walk out when she saw an anonymous incoming call knowing who would dare call her with an unknown number picked the call without much haste. ". Yes, Adam you better have a good excuse for leaving me hanging yesterday you know better than anyone else how important that was to me"!! she holler on the phone.On the receiving end Adam who was lying leisurely on the bed with his cellphone in hand on hearing Angel's infuriated voice sat up from the bed with a start , panic written all over his face . He knew he had to pacify her or else the outcome would be disastrous for him.Smiling to himself he knew the tactics that normally work on her , he keyed into it at once.". My , my ,my , Angel you've managed to break the remnants of my heart , while I am still trying to pick up the pieces that's left of what Ella broke. He said with a voice as though he was
Angel walked into the company with a straight face and calculated steps turning heads whenever she walks. She walked to the private elevator leading to the 17th floor of the building of her own office .Ding ! came the sound of the elevator , knowing is her boss and her cue to welcome her , Linda with the hot mug of coffee in one hand and a tablet in another, stood at the entrance of the office. on seeing her with a small smile walked to her" Good morning ma'am , I presume you had a good night ? " she said, still smiling ." yes Linda , I did " , Hearing her brief answer Linda went on to brief her on her schedules for the day ." Meeting with the board by 10am"". summary of the launch programme by 11am" lunch with your bro----" Skip it I will talk to him later, am in no mood for his troubles and family drama, it's not like he's in the country anyways interrupted Angel." ok in place of that appointment of the new web developer by 1pm""That will be all ma'am"" Angel halted her st
Angel was discussing with her staff when her phone beeped with the message , seeing it she shut the phone quickly to discharge her staff so as to know her next line of action . After a series of discussions she discharged them to go back to their duties , so she can focus on the mission at hand , glancing at the clock it's way past lunch time . She rang her secretary , when the line went through she told her secretary to come to her office.Linda was shuffling the necessary files for her Boss next meeting when her office phone rang, " To my office now " was all she had for her to sprint off to her Bosses office . inside the office silence reigned for some minutes when Angel spoke up ." What's next on my schedule " Linda immediately scrolled her tab ," Interviewing the new web developer " Linda replied to get a nod from Angel." You can handle that , and also after that you're free to leave the office today afterwards". Angel said for Linda's face to lit up with excitement but
In Front of the Tennyson towers was a black Maybach as shiny as the stars in the sky , with a private plate number. Inside the car sat Elliot leisurely with crossed legs and his hand out of the window, his head leaning on the car seat , and his eyes shut. It's been thirty minutes he sent Kelvin into the building to fetch Mardy his sister , but the duo are yet to be back and his patience is wearing thin , his eyes opened when a call came in .". Boss ,young miss refused to come with me ", Kelvin said with a tone full of panic waiting for his boss to lash out on him but all he heard was ". make her come out by all means " ". But she told the security not to grant me entry into the building"" Alright come back for now " Elliot said in a calm voice despite his veins trying to burst out in anger.". Seems like I have to do everything by myself ", he hissed and stepped out of the car but his movement was halted when he saw something in slow motion.A power bike drove into the premises in
After reprimanding Kelvin the duo left for Mardy's audio studio floor to fetch her . Since he heard of her departure from their family house he felt guilty of not protecting her interest like a good brother should do . And now he had made up his mind to support her, and help her pursue her dreams after taking her with him to talk sense into their father's head.Mardy was talking to her producer about not releasing her album yet , she feared what her father might do if he found out that the reason she's been disobeying him all this while was because of music . When she saw her brother and his assistant she reported earlier as a threat coming in her direction , hiding behind her producer she began to shake visibly and clutched the hem of her dress tightly not minding the stares being thrown at her. Producer Xavier formally known as Mr X was persuading Mardy to launch her album that has one of her hit songs `` titled free as the wind " because it has been getting views despite not being
Earlier When Angel got into the floor that served as an office of the fraudsters she walked past an old woman pushing a large rolling contraption filled with mops, brooms and various cleaning supplies .She stopped to talk to the old woman , observing her concluding she must be her mother's age mate. She called out to her with courtesy.". Good day ma' am, please how do I get to the manager's office ", she asked smiling.looking up from what she is pushing, saw a beautiful lady asking for directions with smiles , she didn't hesitate to answer her.". Good day dear , bless you my child , his office is around the corner and the first door you will see is him." ok , thanks ma'am,"she replied sweetly And continued on her quest along the corridor, around the corner after a few steps she came across a door with the inscription " Manager office " .She pushed the door gently after knocking twice when she heard a brief come in. Angel walked into the spacious office that consists of only a b
Looking at the figure holding her like she will run away if she released her grip. Angel, who could not understand what's going on , turned Mardy to look closely at her, but what she saw was a tear stained face looking at her with pleading eyes that said " please help me". Seeing her tear stained face many thoughts run through Angel's mind. Maybe they wanted to kidnap her or they were trying to force her to do what she didn't like . But the latter was true. But the man in black suit and gray tie that his suit looked it was tailored to fit only him . Didn't look like a kidnapper neither did he look like a bad guy "something is amiss'' here she muttered to herself" It's ok, am here they won't hurt you" she held her and reassured her like a mother protecting her child from the bad guys.After the girl in her arms seemed to adjust to her , She locked eyes with her, making sure the girl was looking directly at her , Angel bent low and whispered in her ear . " What's the issue , let Big
At a five star hotel in Switzerland , Rested chairman Smith sat in a cozy armchair with a newspaper in hand , but his attention wasn't in the papers he was holding because of his wife pacing around the room. ". I've told you Margaret to calm down and sit at a place you make me feel dizzy by your continuous pacing " he said in a calm voice trying to coerce his wife to sit at a place.". How can you tell me to stay calm , when Angel isn't taking my calls. " Maybe she's still angry with us ". she said with her tone a bit raised and panic written all over her face.Seeing her still worried about their daughter, Chairman Smith walked up to her and pulled her in for a hug , she sobbed quietly on his shoulders , Caressing her hair he said in a soothing voice." I think she's a little busy that's all, you're getting worked up over nothing, trust me " , she pulled away from the hug with a look of disbelief written all over her face ." But Elaine said she hardly come home early"" she skips m
Angel blinked her eyes at him, she rummaged her fogged memory trying to remember what she did the other night. She ran her fingers through her her in frustration of not remembering anything.Elliot watched her expressions , seeing her lost in her own word, perhaps trying to remember what she did brought a subtle smile to his lips. He teased her further, " You look good in that" he said pointing to his shirt she was putting on, snapping her out of her thoughts.Angel bent her head a little to check the cloth she was putting on, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment when she saw she was wearing an oversized shirt that stopped midways on her thighs. and her nipples were erect, kissing the shirt she was putting on due to the cold temperature of the room.Fuck ! , Angel you messed up big time ! she scolded herself inwardly and hissed. Bringing her legs together she raised her head with an awkward smile on her lips. " Uhm---- , Mr Elliot, am so sorry for the inconveniences I've caused you.
In the Penthouse of premium star hotels , laid a petite figure on a king-sized bed , with a white duvet covering her body up to her shoulder, she slept soundly facing the window. The morning sun shone on her face, and the wind blowing gently her hair to cover half of her face. Angel's eyes flickered open to an unfamiliar bedroom, she closed her eyes for a while to reboot her brain, in a bid to synchronize it . So as to know how she slept here and most importantly who she slept with ! she propped up her upper body, she checked out the room . The bedroom was larger than hers , with a vanity mirror as tall as a door adjacent to the bed , her hair was in disarray and her clothing were changed ! she glanced around to see if there's any other person in the room, but non came into view. She clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction, of the interior decoration . " Whoever owned you is boring ! plain colors ? gray and white ? which era is he/she from?." She said out loud not minding if she was t
Bam!The door of Angel's hotel room burst open, and some debris fell off, and dust filled the room . revealing the enraged Elliot, his pupils shrunk , dangerous aura emitted from him, he gave Tom a murderous look. when he saw him pointing a gun at Angel. He wanted to dash forward and tear him into pieces for that . But he couldn't act rashly when a gun is being pointed at her. As much as he wants to beat the living hell out of this rascal, he wouldn't risk Angel's life . Not when she's immobile and unable to defend her self, making her to be at his mercy. which wasn't pleasant to him not at all ! .Seeing the door burst open and making a lot of noise , anger grew within Tom , he rised up to see who dared to interfere in his matters, but his eyes came in contact with the eye's of the devil , that's the name that came to his mind when he saw those murderous eyes, he can sense the killing intent in them oh ! if really, eyes can kill he will sure be dead by now .Elliot's mind kept runnin
Angel walked pass Elliot in an aloof manner , did he see me ? was it really a coincidence that I met him here? is he trailing me ? questions runned through my mind, but I chose to ignore it. I have to nail complete the mission this night at all costs.Angel came out from the shower and donned a bathrobe, yes she heard it right, someone is at the door. But who was it ? I didn't order for room service ! when it dawned on her that it might be Tom. She opened the door to see Tom standing leisurely with one hand in his pants and the other holding her purse.The door opened to reveal Angel in her bathrobe and her hair packed neatly up , it's obvious she just came out from the shower." You forgot this" he held up the purse to her face " Thanks ! but how did you find my room? , I remember I didn't tell you the number.He flashed her a evil smile " a gentle man has his ways " he replied nonchalantly " may I come in ?"" of course you can " Angel said and opened the door wider for him to ente
Angel was very busy the whole day trying very hard to tackle some issues she felt was important to handle before it escalates , She was browsing through some files when her phone screen brightened indicating she had a message." As per your request to acquire a house from us, we have a house that is in town and very much affordable and befitting for a lady like you. Drop by at our office later today to check it out.TomAngel clicked her tongue in satisfaction that he took the bait and hurriedly sorted out the ones she could and left the rest for her secretary to attend to.She arrived at Tennyson towers in some minutes and went straight to Tom's office , Tom was on his way out for lunch when Angel walked in so he coerced her to join him to have lunch and she agreed without much effort and the left for a popular restaurant in the city.After receiving their orders they ate in silence when Tom's phone rang , he excused himself and went out to take the call after receiving the call he c
Elliot grinned mischievously at her and sat down on the comfy couch adjacent to the shelf that held the numerous awards she had won , crossing his leg on top the other he leaned back on the couch and his eyes scrutinized the shelf for his brows to furrow almost immediately .Angel gaze still not leaving him watched him sat down and explored her award shelf, noticed him staring at a particular spot that contained her portrait of her and her Italian partner , he was holding her waist and she was smiling beautifully at him when the camera man took the shot . She saw something briefly in his eyes but couldn't explain exactly what it was because it disappeared almost immediatelyBut she couldn't understand why he's been staring at the portrait for some minutes. Elliot face grew darker at the thought of a random man holding her waist all in the name of investing in her new product project .Angel couldn't fathom what's running through his mind , she tried dismissing the thought of him from
Angel was having a hard time in stirring up a conversation after the awkward lunch they had earlier. She couldn't bring herself to look him straight in the eyes, she could feel her skin heating up because of his intense burning gaze on her , 'f***k' ! how they hell is she going to cope with this guy with her being this way ! . When did she become a mute ?This is not just happening right ! how did she got here in the first place? Being in the same room with this infamous CEO, sharing the same air, and eating together for heaven's sake .The room became stuffy all of a sudden for Angel she read one article thrice because of her emotions not been in check, she dare not look up because of her fear of being mesmerized by those beautiful hazel eyes staring deeply into her soul.Elliot couldn't tear his gaze off her , she intrigued him without knowing , in his twenty seven years of existence this woman has been the only one that prickled his interest , making him feel inferior about himself
At the Parks residence the door of Chairman Park study swung open revealing a middle aged woman with who walked in with her shoes kissing the cold floor of the study and making a disturbing noise , one can tell she was doing it on purpose with the way she was dragging her feet.". How could you do that?, you promised to hand over the position and shares to Will ", she shouted , seconds passed but she got no response in return which made her anger to raise to its peak. Grabbing a flower vase she threw it on the wall the poor vase broke and littered everywhere, panting she hit her hand hard on the table " answer me" she roared, but the man quietly removed his glasses and kept it safely inside the case and put his hands under his chin.His calm demeanor surprised her but his response shocked her " Is that why you're ranting like a mad woman and disturbing my peace"Taking in deep breath she told herself to be calm but it seems like her anger wasn't that easy to control , she laughed hy
Margaret blinked at Mardy in surprise when she heard her say she was Angel's friend because her daughter never had any female friends non that she know of , all her acquaintances were male, business partners Male except the come with their wives.She knew that her Angel is yet to break out of her trauma of being betrayed by a friend and someone she branded as her best friend. She was still trying to enquire more from Mardy about her friendship with Angel when the door swung open revealing Angel and Elliot silhouettes.Margaret "Angel"Mardy. " Brother '"Mardy knew her brother was coming to get her , "but not this early she hissed , not when things are getting good.Snapping out of her shock of seeing Angel with a man in her house , she went and embraced her daughter with her eyes still not leaving Elliot who was obviously shocked at seeing his sister being so carefree and lively for the first time after coming back from the states ." You unfilial daughter you now know not to pick yo
