LaCroix Empire Headquarters.Zacharie sat behind his desk in his office, eyes glued on his computer screen and fingers typing away on his keyboard when he heard a knock on his door.He lifted his gaze from the computer screen and called. "Come in."The door opened and Eric stepped in, closing it behind himself before bowing."Sir," He greeted. "I have the report on Michelle and Miguel Arnuad that you asked for." He said, holding up the brown envelope in his hand so that Zacharie could see."Bring it here." Zacharie beckoned.Eric nodded and walked up to his boss, placing the file on the desk and backing away."Is there anything else you need me for, Sir?" He asked."Hmm," Zacharie hummed and glanced down at the file on his desk, shaking his head as he reached for it. "For now, no.""I understand." Eric nodded but instead of leaving immediately, he lingered in the room, watching as his boss opened the envelope and took out it's content.The envelope's contents were a few reports concer
The sun had already set, Amelie sat in a taxi with her children driving towards the direction of her hospital after having picked the twins up from their school.Her mind had been filled with thoughts of her children ever since she had met up with Chloe. At first she tried to convince herself that it just might be another trick being played by Chloe, but after pondering on the topic for a day and a half, Amelie had decided to take the children to do an examination.After all, there was nothing wrong with being careful.Arriving at the hospital, Amelie stepped out of the cab with her children and paid before walking into the hospital. She had set up an appointment before time and was also a worker there, so she simply walked past the receptionist and towards the examination room.The doctor was already there, standing with his back towards her and facing the computer screen.Amelie knocked twice on the door and opened."Mr. Bordeaux," She greeted."Ah, Ms. Arnuad, you're finally here."
Amelie squirmed beneath Zacharie, trying to push him away, but he wouldn't budge. As soon as Zacharie had kissed Amelie, it felt like he had tasted something addictive and couldn't bring himself to stop.Having just stepped out of the shower, he only had a towel wrapped around his lower half. From his torso upwards was exposed, drenched in beads of shower water that soon began to drip onto Amelie's shifron white gown, wetting it and making it cling to her skin."Mr. LaCroix....please stop..." Amelie whimpered out, trying to get free.However, Zacharie who felt like he was getting too addicted to the taste of her lips and felt his blood heating up from their interaction, did not stop.His hand slowly made it's way towards the hem of her gown and just when he was about to slip his Finger underneath her dress, Amelie finally put some distance between their lips."Mr. LaCroix! I'm warning you to stop now, else I'll have to report you for rape!" Panting hard, Amelie warned.Her face was fl
Amelie took a few steps back as she felt shivers run down her spine in the drenching rain, but before she could do anything more, the back door of the van slid open and two masked guys jumped out.One grabbed Amelie from behind and placed his hand over her mouth to stop her from screaming.The other guy then began to tie a piece of rope around her hand, which he had pulled from his pocket.Amelie struggled against them, trying to break free, but she was no match against the two strong men and soon enough, they forced her into the back of the van and drove off."Who...who are you people?" Amelie asked as she managed to scramble to a corner away from the men's reach.At her question, the two delinquent looking guys glanced at each other and chuckled.Yeah, like they were going to blindly open their mouth and spill the fact that their contractor was Odette Aubert who had hired them to follow her fiance after he suddenly left the LaCroix mansion a day ago while looking upset, and after fu
"Ouch!" Amelie yelped out in pain as she was shoved into a room."Now just stay put and wait for me, well have some fun when I come back.”'Like hell I would!' Amelie bit back those words as she watched the male stalk away.As soon as the door closed, Amelie sprang into action, trying her best to undo the rope.She tried undoing the rope by herself but failed. She then looked around the room and founded a rusted scissors.Making her way towards the table, Amelie grabbed the scissors, tried to cut the rope around her wrist."Ah, yes." She breathed a sigh of relief as the rope loosened around her wrists and eventually fell onto the ground.However, the relief was short lived when the door swung open and the guy walked back into the room, a lecherous grin stretched over his face, which soon faded as soon as he saw that she had gotten free from her bondage."The f*ck, how did you get loose?!" He yelled and began to approach her.Amelie, who had frozen for a brief moment upon his arrival,
Zacharie was seated in his office, his back slouched as he rested his head in his palm and stared blankly at the screen of his tablet.His mind was too clouded to concentrate on the project he was meant to oversee. Images of Amelie's previous distraught state flashed in his mind.He couldn't stop thinking about it, but more so than anything else, his mind was clouded by a mix of emotions.Worry and Anger.For one, he was angry at himself. If only he had not lost his cool and flared up after what she said, Amelie would have been in his room a bit longer and probably would have avoided the kidnapping. Or so he thought.On the other hand he still felt irritated over what she had said. A scowl marred his face each time he remembered her words.She chose to love the father of her children, even though the bast*rd had turned heads and ran with his tail in between his legs.'f*cking Coward.' He cursed the unknown man and sighed, leaning back in his office chair and allowing his gaze wander t
Back at LaCroix Empire, Odette sat in one of the VIP lounge, leisurely drinking a cup of tea to calm her anger after Zacharie had walked out on her. She took the last sip from the now empty cup before placing it down with a sigh.In the corner, Eric stood with his hands folded behind him, waiting till she was satisfied so that he could escort her out."Eric." She called and the said *ssistant looked up, acknowledging her."Yes, Madam Aubert?""Can I ask you a question?" She asked.Eric didn't really want to answer such question, but as per his obligation to Odette as the soon to be Mrs. LaCroix, he answered."Yes, Madam, ask away.""Have you noticed anything strange going on with Zacharie as of late?" She questioned, having noticed several new behaviors present in her fiancé usual strict and stoic demure.Eric blinked his eyes in confusion, somewhat caught off guard. "Pardon?" He asked."You heard me. Has anything strange happened around him?" She asked once more."Well...no. Everythi
Amelie gawked, confusion written all over her face.Did she just hear right?"W-wait, I'm sorry, but what did you just say?" Amelie questioned, needing to clarify if what she heard was correct.Florence grinned brightly and said. "You're our team leader. Or did you not know?""Huh?""I knew you were a genius and all, but not the type to be air-headed." Florence turned around and picked up the attendant roster from the table, handing it to Amelie so that she could see what position each person occupied. And she was indeed listed as the team leader...the head doctor."Or did Director Arthur not inform you of this?" Florence questioned further when realizing the sheer surprise on Amelie's face."Uh...not exactly." Amelie responded with a light chuckle.From the corner of the room, the vice captain, Diana, scoffed in disbelief, muttering underneath her breath. "I knew those f*cking rumors were too good to be true."Amelie who had caught on, immediately felt the mood around her dampen, cau
