THE PAST
BROKEN VOW/Crystal Bates
5 years agoI waited for him. He has never gone this long. It's three a.m. in the morning, and he still hasn't come home.I dialed his number again, but it was still the same; it went straight to voice mail. No one knows where he is; John, his bodyguard and driver, said that he took his car and drove away. Not even his drinking buddy and best friend Ronald knows where he is. If not me, he tells Ron where he is going. But not this time, Adam Simply took his car and vanished.But Adam doesn't like driving, so why did he drive the car if John was there? But the thing that worries me more is that John said he was angry when he came out of his office.Please, Christ, let him be safe. I thought.All kinds of possibilities were going around my head. Even his bitchy secretary didn't know where he went. He just asked her to cancel all his meetings and went out angry."Mrs. Knight," John said in a firm voice, startling me out of my thoughts, "You should go to bed now. I have put my best men at

BROKEN VOW/Crystal Bates
Chapter 2I drove my car just a little fast above the given speed limit to get Emily to school on time."Bye, sweetheart, behave, and don't forget to have your lunch."I shouted behind a very excited Emily who went running towards her school as soon as the car stopped.I chuckled and started my car. I was getting late for my work today.I work at Golden Rose Hotel as Maitre d' in its restaurant.Five years ago, after my divorce, when I was working in a shady pub as a waitress, Nick Miller, the famous Hotel tycoon and the owner of this very hotel, saved me from a very touchy and very, very drunk customer who was trying to talk to me after my working hours were over.5 years agoToday was another very tiring day at the stripper joint, where I work as a waitress at night. All the dirty hands spanking my butt and drunk customers trying to kiss me made me feel so dirty that I wanted to rip my skin.It is past midnight, and there is no taxi or bus around, not that I had the money to pay for

Chapter 3: My cheeks were paining from constantly faking smiles to the customers, and my head was throbbing thinking about the announcement Nick was going to make in the evening."Hey, Claire." One of my co-workers called me out. "Mr. Matthew asked you to meet him in his office right now."I turned around to ask her why Eric Matthew had called me but she was already gone.He must have called to give me some of his work that he is too busy to do, I thought sarcastically.I walked towards Mr. Matthew's office and knocked on his door. A loud come-in greeted me. I entered the office only to be met with loud shouting."I asked you to get the penthouse suite ready then why have the orders not been carried out," Eric shouted at one of the managers."Si...sir, the pe...pent...ho...house suite its occ...occupied." the manager nervously stuttered, not meeting Eric's eyes."I DON'T BLOODY CARE. I want the penthouse suite ready in an hour or else you're fired." Eric yelled loudly.The manager an

BROKEN VOW/Crystal Bates
ADAMI stare at the ocean view as my lawyer Antonio reads the contents of the merger documents.“It's a really good deal Adam, you should sign. You both have controlling shares and he'll be taking a step back from the CEO position which leaves you to make that choice on behalf of the company.” I have known Antonio Guerrera ever since I was a boy, he was my father's lawyer and after he passed he became mine. He has always had a sense of loyalty to my family and we have always reciprocated that as well. As bad as I may seem, I always appreciate loyalty. I turn to face him while his nose is still buried in the documents “but it also states he'll personally handpick someone he trusts to be in charge of his own share. Last time I checked he has no family to succeed him.” Over the years, I have aimed at the expansion of The Knights Hotel. We have a chain of hotels around the continent. But having a hotel in California has proven more difficult than I thought. I did a proper research of a

BROKEN VOW/Crystal Bates
CLAIREAfter an hour, I walked towards the staff changing room to freshen up before going to the conference hall for the meeting. The changing room had rows of lockers, the best place to hide away from the staff. I entered the changing room and opened my locker to get my stuff out. The changing room was empty, a rare sight because everyone was extremely busy today. I took out my tote bag from my locker and tried searching for my face wash tube and compact power in all the mess that was in it.Suddenly I heard a loud bang from behind me. I jumped, dropping the items in my bag on the floor. I turned around frightened and slowly walked toward the fourth row of the locker.I turned around to the other end of the lockers to see Eric banging his fist angrily on the locker. I gasped at seeing him like this. How the mighty have fallen I thought. He turned towards me, literally shaking in anger. Drenched in sweat, eyes red from anger, he walked towards me."You. You bitch, because of you Nick f
