One night with Mr Braxton CHAPTER 18: Was he even human?!
" Tell me? Are you that desperate to lose the empire?" Asher pondered over his mother's question on his way to the office. There was an emergency shareholders meeting scheduled of which he planned to grace the event with his much needed presence.Recently, there's been a surge of rumors gaining momentum in Braxton international which he believed gave head to the unplanned meeting scheduled for the day.Asher repeatedly tapped his fingers on his lap, desperately trying to reel in the anger he was feeling. After his mother's bold statement, he'd simply walked out of the house without a single word.Despite the many colorful words thrown at him for his apparent nonchalance and alleged unseriousness, he curtailed his anger and focused on the more important things.He needed to once again reinstate his power as the CEO of Braxton international and literally itched to get some basic things addressed before things went out of hand.Asher soon arrived at the office and with gallant strides,
One night with Mr Braxton CHAPTER 19: Run!
" Excuse me, what's going on? Let me through." Emma said, pushing to the front of the crowd. " Oh my God, I think she's the owner, I saw her not too long ago entering that room." A woman said loudly, making the rest of the people look at her with pity.Emma was undeterred. She finally got to the front of her door with slight ease after the announcement and suddenly felt like collapsing on the floor. She couldn't believe her eyes.Without a word, she took shaky steps into the entrance of her broken studio and swept through the remains of what was supposed to be the home of her most prized and personal designs.The room was damaged beyond repair, starting from the dismantled doors to the torn couch, overthrown table and chairs, including the stands which held her designs. Rather, the stands which previously held her designs.Now, everything was dismantled and destroyed into a gigantic heap of nothing. Everything was destroyed. Emma rushed into the room, headed towards the closet at the
One night with Mr Braxton CHAPTER 20: She was a rare gem and opportunity!
Run!Emma's mind screamed and immediately, she took off in a fast sprint. her heartbeat also sped up when she saw the car draw even closer to her. Why was she being followed? Emma pondered as she ran with all her might. Suddenly, it seemed like the street was getting too long. She couldn't seem to get to the end of the street fast enough.She cursed aloud when she hit her feet on a stone but couldn't stop to attend to the pain. She could tell her feet were going to bruise but her life was of more importance to her. With the string of unfortunate events which has been her life recently, she was convinced that the men behind her weren't good news.Emma looked behind and saw the car moving at a normal pace and was almost close to her with confident looking eyes. She looked ahead and there was no one. It seemed like it was a planned move because the roads felt too empty.Something told her it was just her luck that when she needed help and cover, there was no one. Everything seemed to be
One night with Mr Braxton CHAPTER 21: He was the ying to his yang!
" How was your stay by the garbage? I never pinned you as one who was that dumb. You think you could escape us?" The man said looking into her scared eyes. Emma was dumbfounded. She couldn't believe her ears. If she were to properly dissect his words, it meant that all the while, when she was desperately trying to hide herself and escape from their claws, they were aware of her hideout.They knew where she was and decided to let her think she had gotten away. They let her delude herself into thinking she had an option, like she was in control of her options. Meanwhile, they were in control ever since. They had the original control she'd thought she held.Once again, Emma felt deceived. She had once again gone out of her way to prove how stupid she was. At that moment, she remembered the exact time she stopped hearing their footsteps just a few meters away from her. How they'd receded in their steps and she'd thanked God they didn't come any further.Meanwhile it wasn't like they didn
One night with Mr Braxton CHAPTER 22: She was being toyed with!
" Are you sure you want to meet her? You know how formidable she is! Send her a message Instead." A young man in the midst of three men said. His fear, evident and visible to his colleagues around him." Shut up! This is a golden opportunity. That lady holds the power of the Steele family. We are at an advantage and trust me when I say she wouldn't try anything funny." Another said, aiming to convince his partners." Exactly. She is the true miss of the Steeles and even if it might not look like it, she is of great value. If she wasn't, I believe she'd be dead and gone. " A red haired member of the gang added while lighting a cigarette." The more reason we need to do this. A measly twelve thousand wouldn't go round, we need nothing less than 25 each and she can provide it. We just need to make her." Another said, staring at a scarred eyed man. The entire project depended on him. Every other person was on board but if he wasn't, it vetoed the mission in general.The gang leader remai
One night with Mr Braxton CHAPTER 23: Where's that brilliant mind of yours when I need it?!
" You've got to be kidding me! She isn't even worth it! Why are we bothered again?" Talia said with her hands akimbo. She felt her mother was making a big deal out of nothing. She couldn't see the reason why it was important to do anything in regard to Emma. She wasn't of any use at the moment and it wasn't like anyone would miss her." Unless you're ready to forfeit your upcoming collection and everything else that you enjoy as Talia Steele, we have to do something." Came a clear answer from Mrs Steele. " Those bastards not only have Emma but serious information that could ruin us. We have to do something." Talia was caught unaware by those words. Knowing who her mother was, it was clear that she wasn't the littlest bit unserious. Everything was reality.Talia believed that anything that was powerful enough to put her mother in such a disoriented state had to be something tough. Another dangerous side of it was its effect on her. She wasn't about to lose everything like her mother
One night with Mr Braxton CHAPTER 24: It's like she vanished to thin air!
" How did it go? What's next?" Emma heard clearly from the outside. It was an unfamiliar masculine voice as well as the first time she was hearing the voices of her abductors." How do you think it went? Of course it went well. All we have to do is wait until the boss signals us for the drop off."" Drop off? Hell no! If she could fetch us one million dollars, why not retain her for larger benefits? Think about it, we are holding every card, why give it up for a measly one million."" I did not just hear you address one million dolls as measly, brother." The other said, his tone almost reprimanding." Compared to what we can get, it's a drop from the ocean. These people are filthy rich and that girl is raw gold. We should mine her for all she's got."" Is she still asleep? " The other asked, his voice sounded like he was closer to her supposed prison." Yes, she's definitely got a weak system. The drugs wiped her out. She'll be up in a few hours I reckon."" Make sure she is fed when
One night with Mr Braxton CHAPTER 25: Such a talented actor!
Mrs Steele was all dressed and ready when a black jeep pulled up in front of her home. Having expected the arrival, she immediately made her way out of her quarters and down the stairs.She met Talia on her way down who couldn't help but ask about the ongoing situation." There's a black jeep parked outside. Where are you off to? Don't tell me you want to head over there yourself." She asked, wondering what was going on. " I told you. There are things that you should turn a blind eye to. There are things that are concealed for a reason and when the time comes for you to know, you'll be the first to know. I have to go." She said and hastily resumed her journey. The occasional blaring of the horn told her that her future in-laws weren't patient.When Mrs Steele entered the car, the driver introduced himself and immediately started the car. Not really knowing exactly where they were headed, she turned on the tracking device on her necklace and relaxed.After about ten minutes of driving
