She was at home with her baby waiting for Adrian when those men broke into her house and she had gotten knocked out.She turned around trying to look for her baby when she realized that Adrian was tied up next to her looking a bit roughed up but Okay. Well from what she could see."Adrian?!" She called out pulling him from his thoughts as his eyes widened with relief when he saw her."Thank God, you are awake. I was so worried. Are you okay?" He asked as Marie asked."Where is Castillo? Did they take him? Who are they?" She asked as the door swing open as a woman walked in carrying Castillo who was fast asleep on her hands."Well, well, well if it's not the star of the show. Marie or should I say Athena?" She said as Marie stiffened considerably as Adrian turned to look at her although
Chapter 116Epilogue“We interrupt the news to bring to you all the dead of Mr Rich Danillo who had commited suicide in his cell his immediate jail term.'' Maria wound up the volume of the radio as she stepped on the gas. Sophia's father killed himself? Well it was to be expected since he was there for life.The only person who was left now was Steve, her fiance, who had been jailed but had somehow gotten loose and was currently on the run. She took a deep breath and exhaled before continuing, there was no need for her to be scared.Steve wasn't desperate enough to hang around her and kidnapped her.There were eyes on hers and bodyguards to numerous to mention, the only reason why she hadn't shouted at her husband to stop was because she knew there was a reason he was being paranoid and frankly it was justified.Right now she was on her way to the cemetery, with Castillo. Two weeks had passed since Sophia's death and Adrian had insisted on burying her properly. A lot of people had
CHAPTER 1“Next person?” The waitress yelled out after taping the name on the batch of coffee, someone ordered as Maria walked up to her, with a smile on her face.“The usual?” She asked as Maria gave her a firm nod. She had been buying her coffee, here everyday for the past ten years, it was well known, even to the owner of the establishment was Maria’s usual was. She hummed a tune underneath her breath as she tapped subconsciously to the beat on the counter when the waitress appeared again, with her coffee, all set up ready to go.“All set.” She chirped as she handed Maria the coffee who took it and paid.“Thanks Amy, you are the best.” With that she stepped out of the line and walked outside eager to catch the bus to her company.At the bus terminal, she bumped into someone and ended up spilling some of her hot coffee on him.“Oh my gosh, I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to. Please allow me.’ She said as she brought out her handkerchief and started swabbing at the man’s white, trying t
2Closing the door behind her, Marie quickly stepped into her office and closed the door before jumping in the air to celebrate her new position. She was going to be his son's new PA. this was one of the greatest news that she ever heard. but she quickly calmed down and decided to get to work. And made sure that this files were dispatched to their respective departments in the company.As Marie made her way back to the main department to submit the files that her boss had given her, she was accosted by her fellow employee Aurora who was unbearable to say the least.Aurora had a 'I am better than you attitude' which seemed to corrode with almost all the employees in the department. she wasn't really liked so people avoided her as much as they could. Maria had it worse as Aurora had been eyeing the position of the CEO personal assistant before Raymond handed it to Maria. Let's just say, Marie became her number one target she hated.She had barely submitted it for dispatch when Aurora c
3Maria yawned as she glanced at the clock. It was after 4pm. She was done for the day and by the moves in the boss offices, she knew that Raymond was rounding up as well to leave.As a rule, she could not leave before the boss unless the boss explicitly told her to, in case he needed her help for anything. She had gone through her timetable again and was relieved to find out that she had carried out the plans she had for the day. All the appointments that was supposed to be for the next days had been written down in red pen so that she would not forget it."......will be leaving now." Maria jerked up when she realized that she had been lost in going through her calendar, she didn't hear Raymond open her door and speak."I am sorry sire. Did you say something?" She said standing up as Raymond replied,"You have worked hard today Maria. Head home. I will be leaving now as well." He said as Maria nodded her head with a smile."Of course, I was just leaving as well." she said as Raymond
Chapter 4Maria thought that she heard something. She looked around her and waited to see if she would hear that strange noise again but she didn't. She chucked it up to fatigue and decided that she was over tired which was why she was making things up.As she got to the ground floor, she saw shadow movements in the wall on the ending of the dark corridors..she knew that place. That was where the old and outdated copies of files that the company owned was kept.She wondered if there was any department that was on a deadline to meet their targets and needed things from the archive room but her mind came up blank.She was at a loss. On one hand she was very exhausted and wanted tod o nothing else but head home and sleep for hours without thinking about anything else because she was so tired and she deserved it.But on the other hand, her curiosity drove her to find out what was happening. She was never one to turn down a challenge. And hell was easier to freeze than getting her to leave
Chapter 5Maria had barely gotten far when she was being grabbed by Ryder and Kenny who caught her easily. She tried to kick herself out of their grasp but it was too tight."Let me go, you crazy people" She yelled as she bite Kenny's hand who was holding her and he gave her a back hand slap as the other Person stopped him."Dude take it easy. She is just a lady. She doesn't need to be maltreated. Besides boss didn't say we could beat." He said as Kenny replied,"Then she should keep her fucking teeth to herself or I am going to rip it out." He said as they dragged her back to the basement.Adrian was seated on his chair when they came in dragging her with them and they threw her to the ground in front of him, almost three feet where Simon's dead body laid as Maria resisted the urge to throw up."Well seems like we have an issue on our hands. All because you couldn't stop your curiosity now you have in bigger soup." Adrian said as Maria looked at him, anger overtaking the fear as she
Chapter 6Kenny was the one driving the car while Ryder was seated in the front as well. Their boss and Kelvin were both seated at the back seat while their target was in the booth. He was livid with the mistake that he made. He was the one in charge of making sure that the whole building was empty and yet that girl had our a clog to his plans. His boss wasn't going to let him out of this so easily. He wondered what he was thinking about. Even Ryder was giving him a disapproving look but Kenny wasn't in the mood to listen to his wordless complaints. He knew that he wasn't happy with the fact that he almost slaughtered an innocent back then but he needed to understand as well that Kenny was first and foremost a hitman. Their job is to kill people. Bodyguards like Ryder wouldn't understand the need.And right now he knew that it was best that she remained dead although he did not know why his boss hasn't asked him to kill her as well. Were they going to kill her in a different location
