EMERGENCY

RYAN"Beep! Beep!!!!!"The incessant ringing of my phone caused me to twitched my face, half asleep, half awake. Who is the bastard disturbing my rest this early morning? I'm not going to forgive whoever is calling me.With my eyes closed, I trailed my hands to where my phone was kept, picked it up, and put it in my ears."Good morning, boss," Gerald's voice rang in my ear, filled with fear and anxiousness.So it was Gerald that has been disturbing my rest? My nose squished, frustrated and pissed up.Finally, I opened my eyes, and I simply said, "Say whatever you have to say and drop your resignation later before the day ends." I pinched the space between my brows."You have to come to the company as soon as possible, boss. The shareholders are about to hold an impromptu meeting and I don't think it's for your good," He reported swiftly and eagerly, causing my brows to crease and my eyes to widen."What!" I spurted out in disbelief. The shareholders are about to hold a meeting behind

Guess!

RYAN "I am the CEO." A feminine voice reverberated across the room. The unwavering voice screamed of order and authority, causing me to raise my head and glance in the direction of the voice. My forehead crisscrossed when I saw the person standing by the door. It was none other than Lexi, my ex-wife. "Lexi..." My voice trailed with my eyes blinking continually. My gaze darted over Lexi with my jaw dropped. "President Lexi." Other shareholders in the conference room acknowledged, standing up and bowing their heads curtly. Elegantly, Lexi walked to the table, emitting a sophisticated and majestic aura. Stopping in front of the table, she tossed her designer handbag on it. "And why are you disrupting my meeting, Mr. Ryan Middleton?" Lexi questioned in a hoarse and cold voice, putting on a fierce and unfriendly countenance. Stupefied, my mouth opened but no words came out. I was beyond speechless. My brows creased as I was lost for words. I was disrupting her meeting? And she's the

Her Princess

GENERALLexi's gaze was unwavering and determined. She pierced it into Ryan's and deadpanned, "Guess what you did, Mr. Ryan." The gaze was so fierce and intimidating that it made Ryan gulp uncomfortably. He rummaged through his head, struggling to remember what he had done to request Lexi's wrath."Could it be because I claimed Isabelle as...?" His eyes widened when it finally clicked on his head. He returned his stupefied countenance to Lexi, who smirked evilly and nodded."Yes! You dared mention my princess's name with that filthy mouth of yours. And what did you say? She's your child?" Lexi remarked, clasped her lips and burst into laughter. "That must be the funniest joke I have ever heard in my life. I guess you've been misbehaving because you have a lot of time in your hands. You are going to realize that there's more to life than creating nuisance in my company and embarrassing your age around me when you start looking for a job to sustain your family and your lifestyle," she

A Day Out

GENERAL"We are here!" Donald announced, stepping on the brake. Isabelle stood up and glanced out of the window; a beautiful smile was etched on her lips. The glints of excitement and satisfaction glimmered brightly in her eyes."Wow! The mall is so beautiful," Isabelle muttered, grinning.Lexi and Donald shared stares and chuckled. Lexi knew she would like it, so she wasn't extremely surprised by her reaction."You are yet to marvel. Let's step into the supermarket at the mall first," Donald remarked, opening the side door for the little girl to step out. Excitedly, Isabelle descended from the car and leaped into the mall with her mother.Donald had asked to take Lexi and Isabelle out, and Lexi obliged after a brief hesitation and reluctance. On the other hand, Isabelle refused blatantly because she didn't like him and didn't want to choose a man like him for her mother. But when Donald showed her that he was behind and capable of taking care of her and her mother, she took a liking

Where’s Isabelle?

GENERALThe little girl blinked and took a step backward, her eyes fixed on the strange man's face. Her body trembled as she clutched her fingers on her dress. She gulped hard."I am sorry, sir. I don't want toy again. My mummy will be upset if she doesn't see me," Isabelle fluently let out, her voice shaky.The man's dark lips curled into a sinister smile, sending chills down Isabelle's spine. Looking at the smile, goosebumps surrounded her and gripped her body tightly."You cannot reject my gift, darling. You just need to wait so I can pick up the money in my car. We are already beside the car, aren't we?" He muttered, grinning. With a horror glare, Isabelle shook her head and planned on taking steps backward. However, as soon as she did that, she hit her back against a strong surface, causing her to tilt her head. "Ah!" She gasped in fear when she saw who was behind her. It was a man who had different scars on his face, and his eyes were as red as fire. He had bad intent as he gla

Daddy!

GENERAL"Are you sure she came to this place?" Ryan questioned with a frown, holding his phone tightly in his right ear."Yes, boss. She went in with her daughter and a man." A masculine voice answered on the other side of the phone.With crinkled brows, Ryan heaved, pinching the space between his brows. "Okay then. Continue to keep watch and let me know as soon as she leaves here." He ordered, and the person at the other side shouted in understanding, "Yes, sir."Ever since the challenge between Ryan and Lexi, he has been trailing her and stalking her. He knew that he had lost the battle, and the only way he could take back all that belonged to him was getting Lexi to forgive him and perhaps fall in love with him again.It wouldn't be easy, but he was ready to give it what it takes. He wanted Lexi's love so that he would be able to get back his company, which she took away from him."You will be in trouble if I do not find her here," Ryan threatened coldly and disconnected the call.

Rude

GENERAL"You will be in trouble if you lay your filthy hands on my daughter," Ryan warned, his voice lingering in the air and interrupting the action the man was about to make, causing his hands to hang in the air as he tilted his head in the direction of the voice just to see what was happening.The little Isabelle's eyes widened when she sighted the man from the airport. She heard that he called her his child but never ascribed meaning to it. All she wanted was how to save herself from the dangerous men hovering around her. Just to make the plan go smoothly, she joined in and shouted, "Daddy!" For a few seconds, Ryan was dazed by the name Isabelle called her. Different questions ran through his head. "Does she know that I'm her father? Has Lexi told her already?" He thought. To be honest, he found the name he called her with her tiny little voice satisfying and relaxing. He enjoyed it and wanted more of it. When she was still two, she referred to him as "Dada." Thinking about it no

Apology

LEXII knew the way I spoke to Donald was wrong, but I had no choice. He really needs to stop chiming in on my discussion with Ryan. I am the only one who knew the reason I have been acting this way. It was already embarrassing enough that I had misunderstood Ryan and accused him of hurting my daughter when he, in fact, saved her. He shouldn't worsen the situation by rubbing it on my face that I just accused the wrong person.But I don't care. Ryan got what he deserved. He was a bad man and wouldn't be known for good things even if he did them."Mommy, that Mister really didn't do it. He saved me from the bad guys who tried to take me away." Isabelle's voice echoed in my ears, dragging me out of my train of thoughts.Thinking about it now, I couldn't help but be scared. Goosebumps lingered on my body and gripped me tightly as I thought about the whole thing. Some people really tried to kidnap my daughter? But why would they do that? Who would want to kidnap a little but sweet soul lik

Limit

LEXI I couldn't keep thinking about what happened during the weekend. My daughter was almost kidnapped by some people, who I knew nothing about. I did my best to hide the news from my parents because I wasn't ready for the drama they would perform when they learned about it. Leaving home the next day, I drove straight to the nick and reported the situation to the cops. They promised to look into the matter, and I hoped they did that soon because I failed to imagine what I would do if anything happened to my daughter. I decided to listen to my favorite music as I drove to work. The morning was bright, and the air was fresh. I felt so at peace like never before. However, just as I got to a U-turn and was about to twirl, a car sped past me and swerved, halting in front of me. "Ah!" I shouted as I roughly rammed my foot on the brake. My head hit the steering many times as I eventually stopped my car from bumping into the car in front of me. It took me two minutes to comprehend the s

The Proposal

LEXI"You wench! How dare you call my daughter a bastard?" I shouted, seething with anger as I dragged Emily's hair aggressively. It caught her by surprise, so it took a few seconds before she retaliated.Yelps escaped her mouth, "Shit! You bitch! Get your filthy hands off me. Ah!" She struggled with me and grabbed my hair. However, before she could pull it, I jammed my forehead against hers, nodding her and forcing her to release her grip on my hair."I don't joke with my princess. Do not call my baby a bastard with that lousy mouth of yours. I tried my best to run away from your trouble, but your mannerless self wouldn't let me be," I screamed as I continued to pull her hair. We had garnered a lot of attention, but I cared less about it. Since Emily was shameless and wanted to roll in the mud, it wouldn't be bad if I rolled in it with her. At least, just this once, so that I could put her in her place. "Ya! Let me go. You are going to pay for this, Lexi. I promise you. I will repa
