Luca kept a stern look as he bore holes into the faces of the men seated before him. He wondered how he ended up employing these incompetent fools.They swallowed and shivered at his brooding eyes. One of them used his handkerchief to wipe the sweat trickling down at the back of his neck. Even the air conditioner couldn't stop him from sweating."Ismail, Ismail" The frightened man gulped at the mention of his name."Yes, sir" He adjusted his glasses on his nose."It seems like you've warmed your seat enough. Haven't you?" Luca asked emitting the aura of a very dangerous man.The man in question was the director of Luxe Hotels in Malé. They have been facing strong competition from J Hotels, a new hotel which has just emerged. It's been going on for almost a month but he didn't report back to Luca early enough.Luca had found out about the decrease in their stock price and that was one of the reasons he decided to come to Malé for their honeymoon. He didn't alert Ismail of his coming be
Six cars arranged in a convoy pulled up at the entrance of a house. The driver in one of the cars turned to face the person sitting at the back."We're here boss" The man grunted a reply and alighted from the car. He was dressed in a black suit and wore dark shades.The moment other occupants in the other cars noticed he was down, they all alighted from their cars. They were also dressed in the same outfit as the man.Two guys approached the man, one of them holding a briefcase that contains some documents."Let's go, boss," The one without the briefcase said.The three men walked towards the house leaving the rest of the men waiting by their cars.They arrived at the door and one of the men pressed the doorbell. The door was opened by a maid that seemed to be in her late teens. She shivered at the sight of them, feeling intimidated by their presence."Come in," She said meekly with her head bowed, making way for them to get through.She shut the door and directed them to the patio.
Silver was in school when she received an important call from her mother requesting her presence at home. She wondered what could be wrong due to the urgency in her voice.She considered staying for the last class but thought against it since the longer she stayed, something bad or even worse could be happening at home. She bade her friend Carlotta goodbye, promising to call her when she sorts things out at home. She entered her car and drove away at full speed. Different thoughts filled her head as she wondered what the problem was. She could only wish that nothing bad had happened.She arrived home only to see about six cars lined up at their gate making it difficult for her to go in. She quickly looked for a space to park and alighted from the car. Her heart was pounding fast as the feeling of dread washed over her.'What exactly was going on?'She ran into the compound and the sight her eyes came to see halted her next move. Men dressed in black suits and dark sunglasses surround
Silver laughed out loud at the absurdity of the situation. She was just twenty and currently in college so how could she get married at this time? And even if she wanted to get married it has to be for love and not because her parents suddenly told her to.She stood up from the couch laughing as she made her way to her room. Her parents just kept on looking at her like she has lost it.'Of course, I think I've lost it.'She had barely sat down on the bed when her phone rang. She checked the caller ID and saw 'Carlotta' on the screen. She quickly picked up the call and put it on loudspeaker."Silver! Were you able to get home on time? What happened? Hope your parents are okay.""Something really big happened. One that I didn't even imagine as I was on my way home." She took off her boots and jacket and then lay down on the bed."Is it bad? You're making me curious. Spill it." Silver chuckled at her eagerness. If only she knew the turn her life was about to take."The seriousness of thi
Silver was all set for the party. She wore a tight short black leather skirt, a small white top, and leather boots. She had touched her face a little not wanting it to be bare.She exited her room, making her way to the parlor. She had wanted Carlotta to come to her place so they'd leave together, but she said she had something to take care of before she could come. So they agreed on meeting at the party.She scanned the area, checking if her parents were in sight before she left the house. She's been avoiding her parents, especially her father since they brought up the marriage talk.Arriving at Jeff's house she was welcomed with loud music. She looked for a place to park her car and alighted from it.Outside the house was filled with students from her college and other neighboring schools. Almost everyone held a red plastic cup in their hands. With much difficulty, she finally got inside the main house. The house was crowded with people making it hard for her to get through. Some w
"Please... Touch me" Silver said staring into Luca's eyes.Luca clenched his hands in a fist as he looked down at her. He was angry at the state she was in. He touched her forehead and saw that she was burning up. Sliver gasped the moment Luca's hand came in contact with her body."Please... I need you" This time tears were rolling down from the corners of her eyes. She was sweating profusely and was squirming on the bed. Her body was hot and she felt her nipples harden waiting for someone to do justice to it.She was desperately in need of this man's touch to set her free from this misery.Luca was torn by his feelings. He wanted to put an end to her pain but if he touched her, she would regret it in the morning. And more importantly, he didn't want to touch her when she wasn't in her right frame of mind.He let out a deep sigh and left the room. He wasn't sure how long he would be able to control himself if he stayed.When he got downstairs, he met an elderly woman setting up the d
Sliver awoke with a throbbing headache. She held her head and slowly sat up on the bed. She tried reaching for the table close to the bed so she could call for a maid to get her some painkillers. She touched the table using her hand to feel the bell but she couldn't find it. She then opened her eyes only to see herself in an unfamiliar room.She did the first thing that came to her mind. She lifted the duvet to check herself only to see that she was clothed in pajamas."I see that you're awake," Luca said coolly.Silver snapped her neck in the direction of the voice and saw a man seated close to the window with his legs crossed. He took a long sip from the mug he held in his right hand and kept it on the table."Who are you? What do you want with me? And more importantly, why are my clothes changed?" Silver bombarded him with questions, holding the duvet close to her chest.Luca stood up from the chair gracefully and approached her slowly with his hands in his pockets."Stop! Don't
"Soon-to-be husband?!" Sliver asked with her mouth wide open.She was dumbstruck when she heard those words. She remembered her mother telling her she was going to get married to a certain Mr. Corleonesi, but this wasn't what she expected.She was expecting someone older because she felt the name was befitting for an old person. But this man in front of her was far from old, he looked very manly.'Wake up Silver! So what if he's handsome, whether young or old you'll still not get married to him. But first, how did he manage to find me and bring me here.'"Did you kidnap me?" Sliver asked covering her open mouth with her hand."What a nice way to thank someone that rescued you. Enzo, drive her home, she needs to start preparing for the wedding." Luca said and stood up."What do you mean wedding, I haven't agreed to marry you," Sliver stated with her arms folded."How nice to think I need your permission. Your father has given me the approval and that's all I need. The wedding is in a w
