For a brief moment, Roxanne was bemused. Without any warning, Lance had materialized and announced he was taking her home.What a mad man! Roxanne thought as she tried to leap out of his embrace, only to be caught by her wrist and pulled back."Behave." Lance instructed as he turned to Alicia, forcing a smile as he uttered. "Be a dare and take care of Julie for me, would you?"The doctor seemed to hesitate for a while. She had other plans before now, but seeing as this was a request from a friend, she couldn't say no.Sighing, she nodded her head just as Lance chugged her the keys to the waiting room he and Julie had been in. Alicia glanced between he and Roxanne one last time before walking off and leaving them alone.Almost immediately after she had left, Lance began to pull Roxanne towards his car. She noticed this and tried fighting out of his hold.She struggled vigorously for a few seconds, trying to get her wrist free and far away from Lance, as she was in no mood for his theoc
As Roxanne took the first step into Lance's penthouse, she was left dumbfounded, forgetting for a minute that where she was meant to be was some hundred dollar room and not a thousand dollar exquisite suit."This isn't a hotel room." Roxanne stated the obvious as she snapped out of the trans she had been put in by the penthouse's beauty.Lance looked above his shoulder, smirking at her with a nod of his head as he took off his suit and placed it on the head of his sofas."Of course it's not." He said, backing up Roxanne's statement.At this, the blonde felt anger surge up in her."What the hell, Lance." She spat. "Do you ever listen to a word I say?""I listen," Lance spoke, as he emerged from where Roxanne assumed was the kitchen. "But at times I just chose to play things my way."Roxanne gritted her teeth. Why did it always seems like Lance could easily get under her skin.That wasn't the only thing he had been getting under as of recent. Her mind noted the quick reminder, plasterin
The very next morning, Roxanne was awoken by the sound of her phone ringing.She peeled her eyes opened and tried getting up only to be pulled back down by a pair of strong arms.For a second, confusion seemed to reel in Roxanne's mind. She had almost panicked until the previous day's event came flooding into her head.Staying still for a moment, the blonde quietly sighed through her lips and glanced behind her, coming face to face with Lance's sleeping face.It was beautiful. No matter the number of times she refused to admit it, seeing his face up close bad forced her into a state of acceptance.His cheekbones were more pronounced than usual, giving him an intimidating appearance as he slept. His lashes fanned out like feathers, and they gave off an angelic look accompanied by the strands of his thick black hair, the sleeping prince charming looked like a surreal entity that couldn't be found anywhere else on this planet.After a while of staring and examining his face, Roxanne deci
"Sir! We have a problem, all the investors are suddenly asking to pull out their funds. They no longer want to work with us!"Christopher couldn't believe his ears. The words of his colleague sounded much like childs play."What?" He manages to mutter as his gaze found its way to where Roxanne stood, staring at him apathetically almost as if she knew what was happening.No, it wasn't 'almost as if she knew', she did know what was happening. In fact, she was the one behind why it was happening.The thought dawned on Christopher and soon he was scrambling back to where she was, taking her hand in his and begging."Roxy, babe aren't you taking things a tad bit extreme? I know you are angry, but please reconsider." He pleased, knowing how much the investors that Roxanne brought had helped his company.If they were to pull back now... If he was to lose Roxanne's support now, all his plans would fall into shambles.Christopher bit the inside of his lip in regret. How hadn't he remembered th
Christopher glares daggers at Roxanne, ready to pounce at her if given the opportunity. The only thing that had veld him in place was Amber's shaking body in his embrace.How dare she hurt someone he deeply loved? Was it to see him suffer? To show him that she was truly wicked? And to think he was just about to come and beg on his kneels for her support. That was just how much he needed her help since his company's income had began going sour, but after seeing this, his mind has completely changed."Ah, Chris, it hurts." Amber cried out and clutched her stomach.Christopher panicked and tried raising Amber."Let's get you to a hospital." He told her with an enormous amount of care in his voice."Gently. Up, come on." Christopher encouraged as he raised her up from the floor but she slumped into his hold again."I can't." She cried out and doubled over, clutching onto her stomach. "It hurts so much, Chris. What if something happens to the baby? What if our baby dies because I was pushe
A few days had gone by since the whole encounter with Amber, Christopher and Lance and it was safe to say Roxanne had been living her life peacefully.News of her break up with Christopher reached Iris's ears fast and the female was quick to suggest an outing to celebrate her friend dumping one of the world's most useless man."We're going out!" Iris had announced with a triumph smile when she barged into Roxanne's house early in the morning. "What better way to celebrate being a strong independent woman other than going shopping and spending your damn money." She added in as she urged Roxanne to get out of her P.Js and Into a jaw dropping out fit.The blonde however, was against the idea. Not that she hated shopping, but rather the reason she wasn't so with Iris's idea was because she had decided to spend her Saturday in bed all day.But sadly that didn't look like it was happening."Fine! I'm coming, I just have to get something first." Roxanne grumbled as she let herself be dragged
[Right now, where are you?]Roxanne blinked her eyes at Lance's message, staring at it speechlessly for a few seconds before she felt anger swell within her.How dare he ask her such a question after flirting shamelessly with the one person she hated.With her nails tapping fast against her screen and the sound of clicking filling her ears, she typed back a reply, hoping he could feel the amount of sneer she put into each of her words.[That's none of your damn business.]She sent her reply and cleared their chat, locking her phone's screen and looking up just in time to see the handsome angel approaching her.Iris gave her hand a playful smack, indicating his presences even though she could clearly see that with her own eyes.When he finally came to stand in front of them both, a charming smile dusted his lips and Roxanne could have sworn he looked more handsome than seconds ago."You ladies look awfully beautiful tonight." He complimented, the British accent right at the tip of his
"You, Roxanne Grant, are mine and mine to please alone."Roxanne couldn't help but bark a laugh coated deep in mockery."Don't delude yourself, Lance Laurent." She spat venomously and tried wriggling free from his hold. When her attempt only resulted in Lance tightening his hold on her, she added. "You're nothing special. I can easily find any man to satisfy my desires if I wish to."Lance's eyes darkened completely after her words and Roxanne felt shivers travel down her spine.Maybe she shouldn't have said something like that. She thought.That was until she saw the faint outline of a smirk dust Lance's lips and he chuckled."You can continue lying to yourself with that cheap crap, but I am certain that I'm the only man who can satisfy your desires."Roxanne's eyes narrowed into slits and her jaws clenched tightly as she thought. His arrogance really was over the roof.Oh how she wish she could punch that smirk off his pretty little face right this moment.Just as Roxanne was about
