KIDNAPPED BY THE CEO Chapter 15 Maria's breathing grew rapid because of the discomforting position Adrian put her in. "Let me go!" She hollered demandingly but Adrian only regarded her like a mere servant that had no right to make orders. Frustrated and angry, she tried to kick his stomach but he was able to sense her move and block her legs from touching him. "Why do you like to test me, huh? There was obviously no need to escort him to the door, you just wanted to sell yourself to him." He paused while Maria wore a deep frown, thinking of what to say to save her pride. "I told you earlier that you'll be going to work tomorrow, but you argued and called me names. Now you have decided to be very nice to the doctor." "How is that any of your business? He was very kind to me and he is more of a human than you'll ever be," She said and scoffed. "Oh really?" He narrowed his brows and smirked, lowering his face towards her since he was taller than her. "I wonder who trained you becau
KIDNAPPED BY THE CEOChapter 16Maria clicked her fingers with satisfaction, happy that she was able to organize the day's activity with less stress. All she had to do was to tell Adrian about his schedule and enjoy her free time.The telephone beside her laptop rang and she picked it up immediately without having to guess who the caller was. "Maria on the line," She said enthusiastically."In my office, now!" Adrian barked and ended the call.Maria stared at the receiver, shocked by Adrian's harsh tone. She didn't expect him to be that demanding even though he didn't like her.Her ankle was healing slowly, but she wasn't about to let Adrian know about it or he'll add more workload to what she already had. She adjusted the band of her wide leg pants and stood up.She walked slowly and took in deep breaths to keep herself level headed as Adrian knew the right button to press to get her angry."You sent for me, sir," She said after getting permission from him to come into his office."I
KIDNAPPED BY THE CEOChapter 17 Maria, who was elated because of the contract that she was able to get, became sad at her boss's choice of words. If it were to be Mr Raymond, he'd have praised her and even give her some money. While she pondered on what Adrian said to her, the door of her office swung open and she knew exactly who did that. "Hi! Bestie, congratulations," Rachel stormed in and hugged her tightly, then sat on the little couch in her office. They had been best of friends since Maria started working in the company. But it didn't just happen, Maria who was very jovial and outspoken once helped her when she noticed that Aurora insulted her. Not being able to take it, she barged into their conversation and made sure that Aurora never spoke to Rachel in such a manner. Rachel was very grateful and she insisted that they went for lunch together, and since then, they had turned to soul sisters. She had been absent from work because she went on leave, and they communicated
KIDNAPPED BY THE CEOChapter 18 "How could he do that to me? He knows that I like him and he still went ahead to kiss that nasty girl, huh?" Rachel cried when they got to the cafe. "Calm down, Rachel. It's his fault that he can't recognize the blessing that has been given to him. I'll make sure that we go out together on Friday night and we'll have a good time," Maria promised, feeling bad at how Carlos disrespected her friend. But she couldn't blame him completely, Rachel hadn't told him about her feelings even when she pressured her to do so. She had said that Carlos was supposed to be sensitive enough to know that she liked him. "Fvck men! I don't need them," She exclaimed. "Don't say that, besides, you haven't come clean to him about your feelings so how do you expect him to know that he likes you?" Maria asked, rubbing her hair softly to ease her pain. Rachel stopped sobbing, her eyes lit up with hope then she became sad again. "That isn't an excuse, Maria. I've given him
KIDNAPPED BY THE CEOChapter 19 Adrian didn't expect to see his mother in his house. She has briefed him over the phone that she might breeze into his house soon but he discouraged her. He didn't want her to get suspicious of what he had done or notice the tension between him and Maria. "I came to see my boy, of course. Is there anything wrong with that?" Veronica asked with a small frown. "Nothing is wrong with that. I'm just surprised and unprepared for your visit, and I can see that you are settling in well," He said, taking a glance at their entwined hands. "Sure. I like her already, she's so beautiful and homely," Adrian scoffed and hugged her briefly then darted his eyes towards Maria who kept staring at Veronica's nails until she was sure that he wasn't looking anymore. Veronica noticed the slight tension between the both of them and cleared her throat. "Ummm . . children, I know you are both stressed with work, so I'll head to the kitchen right now and prepare something
KIDNAPPED BY THE CEOChapter 20 It was Friday evening already. Maria and Veronica sat in the living room, talking about an incident that happened to Maria and how she met him the first time. "He was very kind to me that morning and I even wanted to compensate him for not creating a scene, but after working with him for almost a week, I just want to kick his butt." Maria bemoaned, causing Veronica to giggle lightly, but she stopped almost immediately when she saw Adrian behind Maria with a frown on his face. "You really want to kick my butt, huh?" Adrian's deep voice interrupted her chattering. "I didn't know that you were listening to my conversation, besides it's bad to eavesdrop on people's discussion," Maria scolded him lightly and watched him scoff. He wore a black long-sleeved shirt that he rolled up before his elbow, leaving two buttons open so that his chest would be exposed. The shirt was tucked into a pair of gray pants with a black matching loafer. Maria scanned his ou
KIDNAPPED BY THE CEOChapter 21 The dim lights made it impossible for people to see each other but that wasn't the case as he saw Maria and her friend, whom he didn't know her name, walk into the club with smiles on their faces. Maria looked wild and hot in the dress she had on, attracting the attention of several men even the ones who were dancing with their partners stopped to stare at her. They both headed for the bar and asked for some drinks which were obviously strong. "Don't you like my steps?" The stripper who had been giving him a lap dance asked. He had been enjoying her moves until Maria entered the club. Apart from the fact that her presence was affecting him in a way that he didn't understand, he wasn't happy that she disobeyed him. There was no need to walk up to her as it wouldn't make any difference and the reason he was at the club would be defeated. "I do, just keep dancing," He ordered and spanked her ass wildly. She moaned, swaying her wild hips and twistin
KIDNAPPED BY THE CEOChapter 22 Adrian took her into his car and straightened her on the backseat. He stared at her sultry body and had an erection immediately. "Dammit!" He cussed and jammed the door. He wasn't happy that his body was reacting to Maria's figure. He had made it clear that she wasn't his type, yet, he couldn't stop his mind from bringing pictures of her even when he was with another woman. Maria purred at the back seat, gaining his attention. He watched her stir, her hands drooping on the floor and let out a soft chuckle. It was hard to imagine that the feisty and foul mouthed woman could be that weak and vulnerable.He stretched his arm towards her, placing her hands properly so that she wouldn't tell, then he ignited the car and drove off.They had just gotten to a lonely path when the car stopped. "What the hell?" He muttered and tried to start the car again but it wasn't responding. Feeling frustrated, he banged the steering and came out of the car regretting
