YOU MUST BE MINE 19. Ah, Mr. Ben
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

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

**Back to Kloe***"Good morning mam," Her clerk greeted her but she was lost in thought and didn't seem to hear anything that was said to her.She was suddenly tapped on the shoulder by one of her employees,"Are you okay mam?" She asked, bringing Kloe back to reality." Yes I am fine thank you, Grace, how are you?" She asked."I'm fine thank you ma, " Grace replied while stretching out her hand to help Kloe with her handbag like she does every day."Thank you," Kloe said to her almost whispering.While she walked towards the elevator leading to her office, two employees conversed in low tones."She doesn't look okay," One said."I know, she is a very happy person, I hope something bad didn't happen to her, " The other retorted."She can't look like this today, she'll be meeting with Mr. Owen,"" Hang on, Stacy was attacked last night!" She exclaimed staring at the notification on the screen."What do you mean?" The other asked her while bending over to see what she was talking about.
Last Updated : 2023-02-24YOU MUST BE MINE 22.HE HAS ARRIVED
She picked up the phone as it rang but couldn't hit the call icon to accept, it came unexpectedly and she wasn't ready for it but didn't want to be rude either and ignore the call.Taking a deep breath, Kloe finally picked up the call, this was her chance and she wasn't about to mess it up no matter how scared she was, what's the worst that could happen besides stammering with her words?But why would she stammer when all she wanted was to meet with him and appreciate him that's all, maybe because now wasn't a good time in her life to do such."Hello," She placed the phone on her right ear."Yes this is Rex Anderson, Mr. John gave your number to me, he said you wanted to talk," Rex from the other side of the phone."Why did John give him my number, he must be trying to help me, "Kloe thought."Yes, thank you Rex for calling, my name is Kloe Duran," She said to him her voice somewhat calm like someone who had no serious issues to deal with."Hello, miss Kloe Duran, glad to speak with y

Kloe quickly wiped the tears from her eyes and tried to look as professional as possible, then she picked up her phone to call the detective."Hello, yes he has arrived," She said "I still have a bad feeling about this but if it's what you have to do it's for a good cause," She added before disconnecting the call.Letting out a sigh, she walked out of the office heading downstairs to meet her clients, she looked calm but there was a huge war within her, she couldn't decide whether or not she wanted to do this.Kloe took another deep breath before exiting the elevator with a smile, she spotted his car outside from the glass windows and nodded her head indecisively."Anything wrong mam?" Her clerk who noticed this unusual behavior asked.Turning to her Kloe replied "Something may happen today that no one is ready for. Just to let you know, a man would come here in like ten to twenty minutes accompanied by police officers, make sure to let them in once he arrives,"The clerk was confuse

She watched the detective walk out of the car in his long black jacket and she knew there was something tremendous going on.She ran back to the counter as they approached the door and took out her phone immediately, she sent a text to Kloe and dropped it briskly before they could walk in."Good afternoon sir," She greeted the detective who walked close to her holding up his card to her face he said."I am detective Briggs, here to see miss Kloe Duran, any idea where she is?" He inquired and her face looked pale, she wasn't ready for what was coming until the notification sound on her phone went off.She glanced at it then back to the detective and replied,"Yes, she is upstairs, I'll take you to her at once," She uttered while stepping out of the counter table and walking him towards the elevator alongside four officers.Those present in the arena all looked perplexed, this was an unusual occurrence to them but if the clerk allowed it, it means she has received an order from the boss

*** Meanwhile***"What is going on Stacy?" Her mother questioned with an expression of worry all over her face.She turned to her mother slowly with tears in the corner of her eyes, while Mrs. Dwyane picked up the phone and gazed at the screen wondering what it was that has sent her daughter into a frightening freeze."Who was it?" She asked again and Stacy went back to the sofa, throwing herself down on it, she sobbed without saying a word to her mother. After about five minutes of silence, she finally spoke up."They are still after the documents," She responded with her voice shaking like someone who just emerged from a cold winter storm without clothes on."What do you mean?" Her mother inquired of her, she was confused as to what Stacy meant by that."They want the contract documents in twenty-four hours else they'll do something else, something worse that they had already done-"That's bullsh*t !" Mrs. Dwyane exclaimed in a rather loud voice."It's all a lie, they have been arre

"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
YOU MUST BE MINE 53. That same Karen Simone
/ 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
YOU MUST BE MINE 52. it's Karen Simone
"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
YOU MUST BE MINE 50. I would stop at nothing until Kloe is mine
"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
YOU MUST BE MINE 49. I want to kiss you, is that weird?
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.
YOU MUST BE MINE 47.I don't want to save you again
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
YOU MUST BE MINE 46. That would be almost a million dollars sir
"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
