Trapped by him

Huffing, I slammed the files on the desk. I've been brainstorming since the breaking news, but I couldn't come up with anything. So Achilles Valencian literally destroyed Antonio Reymond's image before the whole world. From the gossip I heard from others around the office, after this blow, Antonio's company's shares dropped in the market drastically within some hours. Apparently, he was doomed.  I even heard police had some proof against him doing illegal businesses far in small towns.  I was sure Ace had a hand behind it. Otherwise how did police get all the proofs, strong enough to destroy a powerful businessman just in a day? Only Achilles Valencian could do it. After what that man did to Caleb, I should've seen it coming. But this was a big blow. How did he manage it? My legs itched to go to his cabin and ask him directly. I wanted to know what

Always there with me

Fuming, I strode to the door and tried to open it. But his pair of strong arms snaked around my midriff and hauled me to the middle of the cabin.A shriek left my mouth. "What the hell, Valencian! Leave me right now!""I will. Once you hear everything I've to say."His calm tone made me boil. I didn't let him explain things, so he would literally keep me captive in his cabin, in his arms? I can't believe this man!"No! I won't hear anything! You'll do what I want, and then let me go!" I said, putting on the scariest face I could manage on my face with a stern voice.But he ignored me. Because he was too busy roaming his grey eyes across my every single feature. As if he hadn't seen me for years. Not tolerating being disregarded like that, I stepped on his feet. With my five inches heel.A hiss left his mouth, his filled with adoration orbs now watched me in sh

Meeting Sierra

Pressing the bell, I waited.  The elevator opened and a lanky middle aged man came out in a floral shirt. Stopping at his track, he eyed me up and down with his slightly red eyes. I faced away from him and tapped the bell again. What's taking her so much time to open the door? Once the creepy man unlocked his apartment next to the one I was standing before and got inside casting me one last lingering glance before closing the door, I sighed in relief. God knows how she stayed here with this creep at the other side of the wall. With a click, the door opened and her blonde head peeked through it. Surprise was etched into her brown eyes. "Emerald? What're you doing here?" "Hi, Sierra!" I smiled. "Sorry, I tried to call you but it went unreachable every time. I heard from Matt that you weren't well, so thought to give you a visit."

Two conditions

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!An equal owner of everything he owned? That's ridiculous! Why the hell would he do that?Only Achilles insane Valencian would be able to answer that.With eyes formed into a scowl, lips pressed into displeasure and rage running hot through my veins, I stormed into his cabin. Well, I wasn't required to knock.His eyes snapped up from his mobile. Standing in the middle of his cabin, his features matched my emotions right now. He was glaring holes at his phone.I knew what ran into his head. Of course he would be mad if I wouldn't receive his non-stop calls and messages. My phone stopped vibrating as he cut the call."Where the hell were you?" Throwing the phone on his desk, he fired."And what the hell did you do?" I countered back, glaring at him.The place between his thick brows crinkled. "What did I do? Shouldn't I be aski

Pervert!

A soft chuckle left him. "Of course, Rosebud. Nothing will happen to me. I'm just stating facts.""Then it's a really absurd fact! And you'll emotionally blackmail me to get me into your court now? Because that's not happening!""I'm not blackmailing you. And what's done is done. It's not negotiable anymore."My lips pressed tight. "What if I run away with all your money?"Another laugh. "You can take anything you want, baby. Everything is yours. Just make sure you also take me along. Because I can't live without you."I could feel my cheeks and neck heating up again at his cheeky response. Now he was flirting with me? Unbelievable man!I wiggled out of his arms. "Whatever you say, I'll make you take everything back from me. Or I will give it back to you!"He quirked a brow. "It's non reversal, Rosebud.""We'

Eerie corridors

"I didn't know you were so eager to ruin your sister's rehearsal dinner. Inviting your ex and present lover at the same time? And when the lover is a fiercely possessive one," Casie tasked, glancing behind me.My heart skipped a beat. Swirling around, I found Warner strolling in the backyard. Noticing him, Tess and Caleb walked up to him, giving him welcoming hugs. Sighing, I turned back. "What's with the sullen face?" she asked, the side of her lips tugged up into a devilish smirk. "Expected someone else?"Glaring at her, I took a sip on my lemonade. It's been an hour we'd arrived at Tess' rehearsal dinner at Valencian Mansion. A BBQ party was held in the vast backyard of the mansion before the dinner. The trees were lit with fairy lights and a small bonfire was set in the middle. While Mom, Dad and some of our uncles and aunts sat around the fire to keep themselves warm

A chance

My breath hitched at my throat. Heart pounded down my chest.He was talking about Sierra?He must be. B-but, why did he need to order someone to finish her if she does anything against him?Did he get to know I went to see her? To get information about him?No, no. Even if he did know of my visit, how could he know that I had any kind of suspicion on him? I could visit her for any reason, right? She was my friend after all.But that wasn't the matter of concern right now. Sierra was in danger. He could harm her at any moment. And I couldn't let this happen. I had to do something for her.What secret of his did she know for him to act that vicious to the point where he'd want her to be dead?When he put the phone down and put it into his pocket, I whirled around and left as fast as I could, without making any noise. Thank God for the thick handcrafted c

I love you

Running my palm over the smooth fabric one more time, I took a deep breath and opened the door. With every step down the stairs the ends of my gown flared more, providing a feel of a princess ascending down the staircase towards the prince charming of hers.But for me, my annoying best friend stood down, not even looking at me. She was too busy applying her dark red lipstick holding a small mirror before her dolled up face. The light blue mermaid gown with her blonde curls resting over her shoulders looked stunning on her. Hearing me approaching, her eyes looked up to me. And her jaw dropped."Holy shit!" She glanced up and down my whole structure. "This is the first time I'm feeling ashamed to be straight as a stick. Damn! Achilles is a lucky ass!"I laughed. "Look who's talking. See yourself in the mirror first."She shrugged. "I just did. Thanks for the not direct compliment thoug

The surprise of the villain

He froze. Slowly pulling away, he cupped my cheeks. "What did you say?"I bit my lip. But the shy smile broke out on my face anyway. "What did you say, Rosebud? Did you just," he gulped, his eyes were desperate, "did you just say that you…""I love you."He let out a shaky breath, the intense emotions swirling in his grey orbs seared my heart."Say it again," he rasped.Pulling him closer, I brushed my lips against his desirable ones. "I love you, Achilles Valencian. I love you so much that it hurts."Heaving a sigh, he engulfed me into his chest. I placed my cheek right above his heart listening to his fast heartbeat.I didn't complain about his vice grip around me as we stayed like that for some moments. Though I didn't like his silence."Ace?" I whispered into his chest.

Enemy inside?

My smile slipped, eyes widened. Antonio Reymond? So that's why he seemed to be so familiar. I'd seen him on the TV that day, but couldn't see his face properly because he had his hand covering his face from the cameras.But wasn't he in jail? What the hell was he doing here now? And after all he did to Caleb. The nerve of this man!My jaw clenched. "What are you doing here? As far as I know you're not invited to this wedding."Did Ace know of his presence here? If he did, he wouldn't be still parading out here like this.He placed his hand on his heart. "Oops! I wasn't expecting that coming. You hurt me, Ms. Hutton. I didn't know you behaved that way with your guests.""I do, with uninvited guests." A humourless chuckle left him. "Feisty, huh?""What's happening here?" The blonde asked, confusion
