YOU MUST BE MINE 14. Mr. Ben Hearts is his name.
She walked slowly towards the elevator, this time not because of some emotional trauma but fatigue.She had done a vigil that night barely getting a chance to shut her eyes, her head felt heavy and so did her eyes but she was determined to get this done with.As she entered the elevator she leaned back on the wall with her head raised high, she closed her eyes shut, and wished it was possible to get sleep for less than ten seconds in an elevator.The elevator stop at the second floor and she walked out of it sluggishly and struggled to maintain her balance."First door by the right," She recalled before taking another step toward the right.Soon, she was standing before a glass door which she knocked on slightly to avoid making unexpected loud noises."Yes come in," John's voice was heard behind the door.After a deep breath and a swift prayer in her heart hoping for the best, Kloe reached for the doorknob and walked into the office.She was first greeted by the pile of papers on John
YOU MUST BE MINE 15. The next morning
She was finally able to get some sleep, curling up under the bedsheets immersed in the warmth of the soft cotton it was made from. Her head sank into the pillow and her messy hair was scattered all over her face.She had gone back home and fallen to bed without taking a shower, her servants who were lucky to be alive had come after the attack to clean the house up for her.The cup of lemon tea was still on her side table untouched, cold, and probably less refreshing.Ding, ding ding, a loud but harmonious melody played from a device on the side table causing her to return to earth from the unconscious Dreamland she had gotten herself into.Her face formed a squint as the sun rays peered through the window curtains into her eyes, she rolled over laying on her back, stretching her arms and legs, she yawned with her mouth wide open.She stared at the alarm clock which woke her up with so much displeasure before switching it off and throwing herself back on the bed, she stole a glance at

As planned, they took a quick stop at the hospital where Kloe intends to see Stacy before leaving for work, she stepped out of the car elegantly in her dazzling outfit that made all eyes turn whenever she passed.Walking into the hospital, she ran into John in the lobby who couldn't believe his eyes upon seeing her."Could this be the same Kloe he saw last night?"" Hello Miss Kloe, " He greeted her with a warm smile." Oh Mr. John, how are you doing today?"She asked him also with a smile that portrayed the beauty of her face."I am good, I hope you got enough sleep last night. You look well rested anyways so there is no need to ask, "John said to her making Kloe's broad smile get even prettier."By the way, I have come to check up on Stacy," She announced." Oh I'm sorry mam, Stacy left early this morning, her parents were here and she was discharged early, she feels better by the way so there is no need to be so worried but yes she has gone home now," John replied.Kloe sighed, not

"Is this so Miss Duran ?" Asked the detective, his demeanor was cold and he had a pale expression on his face."Yes, I do, I recognized the jeans which I had specially designed for him," Kloe responded." And have you seen his face or have you just assumed you know him because of these Jeans you had made? " The detective asked." I haven't seen his face yet but I caught a glimpse of it while driving,"" Here, "The detective said handing her a photograph."This is what the victim looks like," He added.Kloe froze at the sight of the pictures, her face went pale and her facial expression displayed horror, her lips went apart revealing get perfectly white teeth."This is my security guard," She said frightened, this sight would haunt her for the rest of her life.She hasn't recovered fully from last night's trauma and then this happened."Oh, I see," The detective uttered without an iota of sympathy in his tone." You will have to go to the station with me," He stated before entering the

"I don't know what this means, but I think they were both killed by the same person, " Kloe replied not sure of where the conversation was headed." Exactly, and it was for the same reason, do you know if your security guard was involved in anything illegal? " He asked." Non that I know of, he is always at home or with me, he barely visits his parents so I can't say I know of that," Kloe responded briskly." Take a look at this, does it give you any idea? " He asked, placing the briefcase on the table before them."I remember this briefcase," The driver uttered."Ah, what do you know, " The detective didn't waste any time asking.The driver stared at Kloe then back to him and said "After the attack last night, when the CCTV footage was played, we saw one of that attackers handing a briefcase to Mathias, I think this is the briefcase, "" Ah yes, you are the lady who was attacked last night, weren't you? I arrived at the scene but I was told you left because you received a certain pho

Earlier that day at the hospital, Mr. Dwayne had come to pick up his daughter, he didn't stop thinking about her last night, his sleep was short-lived and so was his wife's, he couldn't wait for the day to break so he could go see her.Getting there, he saw her sleeping peacefully on the mattress, her pink lips closed perfectly and her face looking less stressed.He stared at her with a sigh of relief."Should we wake her up?" James asked him."No, let her sleep, we'll take her when she wakes up, you should leave for the office now," Mr. Dwayne replied." Dan is there already, I'll stay with her till she wakes up, by the way, I did a little research on Bounty fashion last night," He announced." So? " His father asked while leaving the ward." Kloe is buying the fashion line, she plans to rebrand it and make it a Free Fly, and the document of ownership was what they were after last night, " James narrated." What is wrong with Kloe!" Mr. Dwayne exclaimed in shock."How could she buy

"Please take her to the room, I'll go prepare something for her to eat," Mrs. Dwayne instructed James who gave her a reluctant glare."I'm fine mom, I can go to the room myself, I'll go take a shower and meet up with you in the kitchen, " Stacy said.She felt a bit tired just staring at the stairs case, wondering how she'll walk up there made her weaker but she just had to.Placing her hand on the railing, images of last night's weirdly flashed through her eyes and she shook a bit retracting her palm."Are you okay?" James asked her."Yes I'm fine," She replied immediately.She walked up the stairs without placing her hand on the railing, she got upstairs and spotted her room door still locked.Stacy left this house three years ago and this room remained hers, picking up the key from where it hung, she unlocked the door and walked in.She first saw the reading table beside her window and suddenly remembered something, picking out her phone, she dialed a number on it."Hello, I need th
YOU MUST BE MINE 21. A simple document
These words went down her eardrum and she couldn't believe her mother was in support of it as well, she wasn't scared of seeing a therapist besides it was a good idea but the thought of everyone thinking that she has a problem sent a shiver down her spine.She doesn't want this thing to become a problem for her, it was true that she was seeing images from last night but she believed she would get over it soon without the unnecessary drama unfolding before every member of Clark's family."Listen, Stacy," Her mother said gently taking her hand and looking into her eyes. "We care about you so much Stacy, it's okay to be traumatized, I wasn't attacked yesterday but I am scared every time I don't see your face, I couldn't get sleep last night knowing you were at the hospital, then what about you?You were attacked, I know you are scared and the best thing is to see a therapist, '"I am not scared to see a therapist mom, I just don't want everyone thinking I am not okay, look at Kloe, she

"Karen Simone," Kloe whispered and quickly hung up the call, she didn't know why but it was probably a reflex action based on how she was feeling at the moment. "Are you okay Kloe? You seem lost for a second," Stacy's voice called her attention, she stepped out of the conference room to get something only to see Kloe holding onto the phone with a depressed expression. " Guess who just called me? "Kloe asked her. " Who, I can't think of anyone that will call you to make you look like this, did something bad happen? " Her face became worried as she answered. " Do you remember Karen? The one I told you about, from my campus days? " " The one that made your life a living hell on campus, which contributes to the reason for your success today? Then yes I remember her," " Hold on? " Stacy paused as if just remembered something. " Was she the one who called you?" She inquired and Kloe nodded affirmatively. Stacy was shocked, she found it hard to believe but not as much as Kloe herse

/ Flashback/"Mam please, I did no such thing, I can't steal from you no matter what my situation is, please ma, this is all a lie, there is no way I did it, please don't fire me, I need this job I beg you," a young lady cried, pleading with tears in her eyes.This young lady was Kloe in her late teens when she worked at a clothing store just outside the campus.She was reported to her employer by one of her colleagues, claiming that she had stolen over a hundred dollars from the business, and since the accountant reported the money to be missing, with Kloe being one of the few workers who could access the store's safe, it was believable.A colleague who reported her was none other than Karen Simone, one of her mates in the university, a coworker, and also one of the newest staff in the clothing store having been hired only three weeks ago.Even before they began working together, Kloe and Karen were never on good terms, the reason being that Karen's ex-boyfriend broke up with her to

"Yes hello Rowan," she responded, giving him a warning stare. Rowan was tense as he looked at her, unable to stand it much longer he walked away, up the stairs towards Max's room."Hello, mam?" The Manager's voice brought her back to remembrance."Yes Mr manager, what do you think of my offer, you have thirty seconds to make your choice, the name or lose your job, you can tell me how much you want and I'll send that soon" I do not want your money mam, " he interjected, " I just don't want my name involved in this," he added in a tone of fear." Fine by me, so you agree then, I'm expecting that phone number soon,"The next Monday, Kloe had gone to work earlier. She was excited to give the news about their participation in the Paris Icon to her team.She had called Mr. Coleman to complain about his application without her consent to which he claimed not to have been aware.He said that only a few companies who applied got nominated, but their team selected a few prestigious fashion br
YOU MUST BE MINE 51. I want her name, address and phone number
"Who is she?" This was the first statement Max heard as soon as he entered his house, Karen was seated on the sofa, her face steaming with annoyance."Who are you talking about?" Max asked her, he was puzzled by the question even though he knew that Karen referred to Kloe, but he didn't know how she found out."Don't act foolish Max, you know who I am talking about, you were at Serene Lux hotel with her a few hours ago, and you don't need to ask me how I knew, look at this," she took out her phone and showed him a picture that caused his jaws to drop.It was a picture of him and Kloe as they got out of the car at Serene Lux Hotel, a friend of hers had taken the picture when she saw them at the hotel and sent it to her immediately.In the picture, he held hands with Kloe, although the camera did not capture Kloe's face because her back was turned away from the camera, Max's face was clear."That… " Let me guess," Karen interjected," A client? I never knew you hold your clients so pas

"Thank you for everything Max, and I promise, I'll get back to you, I just need to settle down with myself, I hope you understand," Kloe said to him wrapping her hand around him in a tight embrace.Max hugged her passionately, he had never felt more comfortable in the hands of a woman than he did with Kloe, she was someone he always loved to be around, but he was bummed when she declined his request to kiss her lips.He was embarrassed even remembering it but he was not aware of what came over him.As they walked out of the building, all eyes glared at them as always until they were seated inside the car.It was 5 pm when he dropped Kloe off at her house before leaving after giving her a broad and genuine smile.Once she had gone inside, Max rolled up the window and asked Rowan,"How do I get rid of Karen without being affected by my father's deal with her?""Sir I must be honest with you," Rowan retorted."That impossible," he added with a frown on his face. He was also unhappy that

He took her hand and guided her towards the entrance, while Kloe tried to remain calm without thinking about anything stupid. She kept a smile on her face and responded to every greeting she received.Even though she was not extravagantly dressed, her beauty alone was an eye-catcher for most of the men in the building, even the women too stared at her, some with envious eyes and some without."Mr. Ben," the manager approached him."Yes, hello," Max greeted with a straight face."Please follow me this way sir, everything is ready like you requested," said the manager."I certainly hope that it is," Max retorted with closed teeth.They were led towards an exclusive elevator, reserved for people like Max, the elevator was luxurious, you don't even stand because there was a comfortable sofa inside where they sat, a cut of tea on a center table, a television for entertainment, and an air conditioner, getting rid of even the slightest moist inside the elevator.The elevator ride was short-l
YOU MUST BE MINE 48. I can't love her anymore
"I can't love her anymore," he thought to himself while sitting next to her in the back seat."She'll think that I am taking advantage of her because I saved her, God why does this have to happen, why wasn't she just a random lady that I met outside? I'll have to take it very slowly if I am going to get her to love me because for now, I think she is just very empathetic, but then there is my father's deal with Karen, I hate my life,""Damm, she's beautiful," he stared at her, being a man who had always been interested in a woman's physique and physiognomy, he found Kloe all-round attractive. His eyes trailed down her neck and he bit hard in his lips."Control yourself, idiot!" He yelled at his thoughts, he had never felt so attracted to a woman's body like he did at the moment.He refrained from looking down at her cleavages, knowing how weird his thoughts could get."You are quiet today," Kloe broke the silence between them, she had noticed how he stared at her but pretended not to.

Indeed, even a hundred billion dollars was nothing to Max, he could make that amount of money with a single phone call, but Rowan had helped him to not be extravagant in spending as his father had instructed.Max's father was wealthy but wasn't extravagant, he didn't just spend money on whatever he wanted to and that had helped maintain his financial status, he believed that if Max could control how much he spent then he had gotten himself a perfect son to take over his company.While Rowan made the call, the manager reported that the place had already been lodged and that he couldn't send the occupants away, the current occupants had paid over seven hundred thousand dollars to stay there for the day.Rowan didn't know how to report this news to Max, but he had to anyway since there was nothing he could do."What does he mean by that? Serene Lux has three apartments, I want just one there is no way all three are lodged," Max thundered as soon as he heard it."Yes sir, all three of the

"Excuse me?" Kloe called upon one of the bartenders as soon as she entered the place, luckily she didn't meet the same lady she met two nights ago, requesting her reservation card. "Hello mam, welcome, can I help you with something?" The bartender inquired politely."Yes, table twelve please, I need to see someone immediately," she said."Okay, follow me," the bartender uttered and took the lead.Kloe could feel her heartbeat rising as she followed him, she kept staring at people seated inside hoping to Max, but she didn't."Here mam, table twelve," The bartender announced whilst pulling out the chair for her to seat."He's not here yet, thank God I'm not so late," she assured herself and took a sit."Can I get you something to drink?" The bartender offered with a smile." Yes, a bottle of red wine please," she answered. She was still nervous, she hasn't met him yet and this worsened her surge of anticipation."Alright, I will be right back," the bartender walked away immediately to
