I don't know what had gotten into me, but I let him pull me into the corner. I was taken back by that action and honestly nothing came to my mind because it was loaded and full because of what happened earlier.
We were in the underground parking lot when I came back to my senses again.
"Let go of me!" I hysterically shouted and took a step back. "I--- I wasn't in my right mind. I'm sorry," I said, because I felt guilty for my protector. He saved me from that bullshit situation, so I think that it's just right to feel this way.
"Well, miss, we have a lot of things to talk about," he said and looked at his secretary. He is also a well dressed and uptight man with glasses.
"What time is it?" he asked him.
"It's 8pm already Sir," the secretary answered. after looking at his watch, "It's time for you to go see your grandfather, Boss,"
"I know," he said and grabbed my wrist, "Let's go now---"
"NO! You might have saved me and I'm grateful for that, but I will not come to someone I don't know!" I said and bowed to him, "Thanks again and have a nice day!" It's good that I am still flexible just the way I was during college and I was able to get off the hook again when I bumped into a large creatures--- I mean the men in black suits with sturdy body, shades and earpiece!
"Ouch!" I said and massaged my forehead. I looked back only to see him with his crossed arms and looking at me like a weird woman. The secretary scoffed off and he looked like he smiled at me.
"Are they your men? Why are they blocking my path?" I asked him with a straight tone because I didn't understand him. He smirked at me and walked towards me.
"You think you'll be able to escape me again?" he asked with a cold voice, "Your debt to me kept piling up. I wouldn't recommend you do anything again," he told me and I gasped.
"Debt? I don't have any debt to anyone!" I rolled my eyes, "How much do you need to save me? Just name your price!" I said and crossed my arms in front of my chest too.
The tough guys earlier seemed uneasy, and I can even hear the secretary stopping his laugh.
"What's so funny?!" I asked them and gritted my teeth. "I don't like this situation. I'll just call my mother and you can talk to them---" I was cut off when he grabbed my phone.
"No phone," he said, "Don't you really know me?" he asked, and I rolled my eyes in frustration again. Really, this man is getting on my nerves!
"Why do you think I would ask if I weren't?" I asked him and looked at him more intensely. But as I looked into his facial features, something struck him that made me shiver!
He was the same man who saved me in the bar, but I ended up throwing up at him! Moreover, I ran away from that mansion without even saying goodbye! Wait, who in their right mind would say goodbye back then, huh?!
The secretary was about to say something when he raised his hand to tell him to stay quiet.
"The man you threw back into the bar, do you remember?" I swear I can see those flames behind his eyes, and his smile is sinister.
"I---I..." I stuttered, not knowing what to say in that situation...
"Do you remember now?" he asked and smiled at me. I took a step backwards and was wondering what I should do at that point. I looked around. Do I take a run for it? Nah, I was caught earlier. Should I shout and call for help? But there was no one in the parking lot besides me and his men.
"N-no..." I stuttered again and tried to find myself out of this, "I mean, I'm sorry for that. I promise not to do it again! What do you want, compensation or something? I will give it to you!" I stressed out and bit my lips.
I knew it! I'm going to be roasted alive by this man if I am not careful. Damn it! I want to go home now...
He chuckled when I mentioned compensation again.
"Haha... Hahahaha..." I tried my best to laugh with him, even though my eyes were like bees had swarmed towards them. The Secretary bit his lips, stopping himself from saying anything.
"You really are clueless, aren't you?" he asked and looked at me with a serious expression. Those green eyes again! It was so beautiful and magical that you will be drawn to it once you have seen it!
"Well, I---" I stopped when the reporters arrived in the parking lot.
"There she is! Go after her!" there was so much commotion and I swear I wanted to smack those reporters out of their faces.
"Let's go," he said again, and so his body guards had stopped them from coming to us. Flashes of cameras light up the place, and I think this will count as a debt again to him!
We entered the car and the first thing he did was to get an ipad from the drawer. There is a fucking drawer inside the car! His secretary sat on the front seat, and there was a driver.
But if he had just let me go back then, I could go back to my car and left quietly. I sighed. I looked around the car. It was not ordinary, but it wasn't luxurious either. But this is a personalized Rolls-Royce! Oh my gosh! And I offered him such compensation?
I'm sure he would ask me for millions. What the hell am I thinking?
"Where are we going anyway?" I asked him and gulped, he looked at me after he typed something on the iPad.
"The Ivory Tower,"
"What?!"
The Ivory Tower is one of the most expensive hotels where the executives of the largest businesses in the country often meet up, as do the government politicians. If he had said the tower, that is where the Blackstone mafia headquarters."Err, I think you're mistaken," I said, "Why would we go to such a dangerous place?" I asked him, because no matter how rich he is, this place is not to be messed up. He did not respond. EVen I, one of the daughters of the powerful nouveau riche, did not dare be here no matter how spoiled I was."Why aren't you saying anything?" I asked him and he just looked at me."No, this is the right place," he said and grabbed my hand. I looked at him with disarray and wanted to gouge my eyes out and rolled my eyes. "Stop grabbing me," I crossed my arms in front of me, "Do you know who I am? I may look like this but my parents are rich," I told him and did not move an inch."Right..." he nodded like he was insulting me, "It was your parents who are rich, not yo
Ridiculous, fucking ridiculous!I was too stunned to speak anything when I heard clapping hands in the background. I felt devastated, but his lips were too sweet to ignore?Oh my gosh! Are you crazy, Diana?! Just a week ago, your ex left you for another pregnant woman during your engagement party, and now you have the nerve to kiss another man! "W-what..." I said and felt like I was hypnotized. I wanted to vanish in that moment and never show up again. He smirked at me because nothing was coming out of my mouth. He scooped my waist and pulled me closer to him."Congratulations, Boss!" The hands clapped him and he was very excited about this new chapter of his life. The grandfather was not convinced at first, but then he eventually came to accept."This is my first time seeing my grandson smiling because of that. Come and join us for lunch," he said, and I just wanted to vanish at that moment. He supported me so I did not fall.The boys are in awe, as if what they had just witnessed w
"Well..." I looked at him and I saw his eyebrows furrowed. Hah! So cute. You want me to ride on your trip after all you did? HA HA HA, in your dreams!"Actually I don't really like him--- ah!" I accidentally slipped out a moan because he had kicked my legs. Why did I do that?! "You fucker---" I was about to say something again when he shoved a spoonful of cake in my mouth."You must be hungry, darling," he said, and looked at me with that handsome face. Oh my gosh, his gorgeous green eyes and luscious lips, how could a person be that handsome?No, scratch it! I wanted to say more but I couldn't because of the cake! So I chew it because it is yummy. I cannot waste that delicious food."Who wouldn't like someone like me?" he asked me with full of confidence and smirked at me. I swear he is so full of himself! I almost choked by gouging out the cake in my mouth."Hahaha! You really are my grandson!" the grandpa said and laughed, "I hope a young lady like you will not get tired of my belo
The office. Contrary to what I'd expected, the room is clean and very minimalist. Just like your ordinary office but very neat."Uhhh, don't you have a sofa here?" I asked, because all I saw was the office chair at which the secretary had scoffed as he suggested the same thing. Maybe. I was very meticulous about my office. That is why I can't understand an executive so simple like this."Waste of space," he simply answered and sat on the floor. That makes sense because I see a conference room on the other side."Still, those are uncomfortable. Where do you rest and meet the other execs, in the conference room?" I asked and sat on the swivel chair in front of the desk. "This is nice," I said, because you wouldn't think that they made me walk!Their stamina is so strong and I wear heels. "What are you looking at? Aren't you the one who asked me to follow?" I said and fanned myself, "And the aircon, please turn it on... Hah! So hot here!" I said because I was so exhausted right now. Th
I forgot that I left my car in the parking lot of the hotel earlier and I was dragged here."Raphael, you bastard!!!" I said because he could just take me back there. As you all know, I am a public figure right now and showing myself in the public can get me into a mess."Why are you calling me?" a cold baritone voice asked, and I looked up to see him. He really is well groomed. I just don't like that he is so arrogant. He has everything except for his attitude and temper."Well, could you lend me a car-- or accompany me to the hotel, because I left my car there," I said and tried to smile as innocently as I could. "Are you sure you want to go back there? The reporters sure will flop on you.""I know that, just drive for me," I said and hugged myself. It is indeed getting cold here and I did not even bring a jacket with me. It was all in my car-- my jacket and shoes. The heels I'm wearing right now are not helping with the cold.I gritted my teeth and started trembling. Why is it so
The Grand Ball of the Elite.Every year the President of the GP Country holds an annual banquet. It is an event where the elite of the elite exchange the biggest business transactions. Also, this is a way to find a partner for the marriage of their children.Since Diana and Mikhael's engagement had turned worse, her parents had no choice but to attend with the intent of finding another partner for her."Why is this happening, Diamante?" Sienna asked her husband while replaying the video of what happened in the hotel. "I'm sure our Diana did not intend to do so. How dare that bitch show up in front of her!" her mother said and gritted her teeth while sobbing to her husband."Shush, Sienna, I'm doing all I can to take down that video," he said."I'm sure it was edited, or if not, accidental! They even dared to frame my daughter!" she gritted her teeth, "I trusted Mikhael so much and that is how would he repay us?!" Her father looked at the laptop again where the video kept replaying. I
"Just what the hell did you do, Mikhael?!" my mother rushed into the room with an angry expression together with her assistants. She is always like that. I put the wine glass on my table nonchalantly and looked at her."What did I do, mother?" I asked her and she suddenly slapped me in the face. That hurts. I smiled."You are feigning ignorance when you clearly know what the problem is!" she said and gritted her teeth. I bet my left cheek is swelling right now. I massaged it."Young master!" my maid had immediately rushed to me to put something in my face to prevent it from swelling more. I looked at her with empty eyes. I'm tired of arguing with her."Why did you do that when the engagement was finally happening?! All those years your brother had put into work has turned into this... Ha!" she said and stomped her feet. She wanted to do whatever she wanted there because everyone in this room was extremely loyal to her. They would not dare stab her in the back. I looked down because I
"It seems that your cousin is still hot on the news," he smirked and drank his champagne, while she grinned and shook her wine glass."Should be, because I've worked hard just to do that,""Really? All I know is you've just exposed her cheating fiancee," he walked towards her, "Didn't you help her instead?""Not really," she said and pushed him away, "Jaime, my foolish father thought that he could hide me forever. No, that will not happen. That is why I signed a contract with the devil," she said, and a sexy smile flashed across her face."Could that devil be me?" he asked and she shook her face. "Is there anyone else more vicious than you?""You really never fail to amaze me," he said, and gave a peck at her lips. She answers his kisses and kissed him back."I love you, Jaime," she said, starting unbuttoning her blouse and leading him."I love you too... Amelia," and together, they shared a wild night together.***"Dad, I already told you many times that we are not together! Why do
