"Boss." Edward walked into Arthur's office with an increased pace."What is the issue?" Arthur asked, not raising his head from his laptop."Amelia made her move last night. She met with someone with blonde hair yesterday." He reported."She could be meeting with a friend." Arthur suggested, still engrossed in his work."A friend wouldn't use the back door."This time, Edward got his full attention. "Now that is suspicious." Arthur acknowledged, "Did you see this stranger's face?" He asked while clasping his hands together."Unfortunately no, it was too dark to see what she looks like."Do you think this person have an affiliation with Fargo?""For now, nothing have been proven but of course the possibility can't be ruled out.""How is Fargo doing these days?""He seems to be keeping a low profile." Edward answered.Just then, Edward's phone vibrated."You can go ahead."Edward took out his phone from his pocket, his expression turning grim. "Boss, you need to see this.""She seems to
James kept thinking and smiling at himself after Patricia's departure. He wished she had stayed longer and was looking forward to seeing her again."Not only did she capture my heart, she's also willing to help me. She is too good to be true, how can she be single? He sat up.He couldn't sleep, he couldn't toss himself side by side either. "Is this what it feels like to fall in love with someone? Little wonder, Bella won't listen to me."Looking at the machines and the intravenous saline passed into his body, his smile vanished, his illness broke him. He had dragged Bella down with him, he wasn't going to do that her."When all of these is final over, I'm going to make my intentions known to her." his smile returned again, "Wait for me, Patricia."***"Hey my man," Lawrence extended his hand to Arthur for an handshake. "Congratulations once again.""Thank you for showing up." Arthur shook his hand."You look pale. Everything is good right?""Hey," Arthur dismissing Lawrence's observati
Patricia emerged from the shower just as Lawrence walked into the bedroom."My love, I miss you." He drew her close and kissed her lips."How was it?" She asked placing her hands round his shoulders."I handed the list of attendees to Arthur, you?""Don't even get me started. I was tasked with speaking to his adamant bride to be?""Arthur told me they had a mild misunderstanding.""Well, in my own opinion. I think it's more than mild.""What exactly is going on? Arthur said Bella wasn't on the same page with him regarding the engagement.""Because she is in love with him." Patricia spilled."Then that is odd, shouldn't that make her agree hastily to his proposal?" Lawrence asked surprised."What do you know about women? When a woman falls for a man. Not only does she aims for his body, she also aims for his heart. And who is Arthur Lorenzo?" She asked touching his nose, "He is the biggest playboy out there. He is willing to offer her his body but not his heart. What's a body without a
The sun rays flashed through the glass and illuminated the room.Bella opened her slowly, she was all by herself on the bed, she closed her eyes once again and the events of the previous night came rushing into her head.While she was munching on the snacks, Arthur had dozed off. She had helped him lie comfortably on the sofa and covered him with a duvet. They had slept in the guest room.Just then, she perceived a familiar cologne. She instinctively knew she was not alone in the room. She sat up and saw him sitting on the sofa with a cup of coffee in his hand. He was casually and dashingly dressed. She studied his face, taking in his brown eyes, his chiselled face structure and strong jaw. He looked relaxed than he was the night before. Their eyes met."Good morning Bella." he greeted dropping his cup of coffee."Good morning." She muttered uneasily, "So unusual of you to be home by this time of the day.""I took the day off." He said flashing his beautiful dentition.Taking a close
"I should be on my way to the hospital." Bella said the moment they had discreetly left Carter's designs and we're out of public glare."Not a good idea, you might be followed." Arthur warned not taking his eyes away from his phone. Their pictures were already making waves with outpouring questions on Bella's intention of being with him and James state of health. "They know about him, that means they know where he is. Do I still need to harbour the fear of being followed?" Bella questioned, a hint of frustration in her voice."They might know about him but won't be able approach him. I have my boys watching him discreetly." Arthur replied while processing his thoughts."I really appreciate your help but am I suppose to just sit and watch? Lucas, let's head to the hospital immediately." "No we can't.""Why?""I'll make arrangement for you to meet him but for now you must hold back, any show of weakness would ruin our plans. We don't even know how the news about James got leaked." "Ho
Confident and poised, Patricia looked stunning in her well tailored designer gown. The air conditioner was doing a great job as it made her office cool. She has an empire at her fingertip.Life is good, she could afford anything she wants but the one person she has eyes for was not in any way interested in her. It felt like a kick to the gut, to the heart. The more she watched him from afar, the more she wanted him and the more he slipped off her hands.Patricia read the headlines with mixed feelings from her tab. "I knew this was going to happen, indecisive bitch. Saying one thing and doing another." She cussed as she glared at the engagement ring on Bella's finger.Her face flushed with frustration, "What an irony, she loves him but thinks marriage is too much of a show. He doesn't love her but would do anything to get married to her. Two losers." She yelled as her eyes narrowed and her brows furrowed."That should be me, you lowlife." She continued glaring as she continue watching
James, startled by a tap on his shoulders slowly opened his eyes."Am I dreaming?" He asked as he took a close look at her. She was dressed in a doctor's coat."No, you're not." Patricia reassured him with a quick smile.He sat up as his face lit up. "It's late so I assume you won't be able to make it anymore since it was late.""I'm one person that keeps my promise. If I say I would come, then all you have to do is expect me." She smiled at him."Why are you dressed like that?" "Thanks to the bodyguards discreetly placed at stragetic places to watch you, I had a hard time evading them and finding my way in." She explained."What do you mean by that? I'm being watched?" James asked in shock."Exactly what I said.""He promised not to keep watch over me." James raised his voice."You can't blame him, I think he changed his mind because of your safety.""I can protect myself, I don't need him keeping tabs on me." He reached out for his phone."What are you doing?""I'm going to tell hi
Lawrence tossed out of bed, taking one more glance at her. She was deeply asleep. Now that he had relieved himself sexually, he found him restless and thinking.No matter how much he thinks of it, it makes no sense she had to lie about her phone running down.It was glaring the fully charged phone didn't shut down itself, she must have powered it off. But for what reason? Except she was hiding something, there was no reason to lie.There was but only one way to find out, he took her phone from the bag and walked down to the living room where he put it on. He put in her password, luckily, it was still the same. They had both agreed to use their anniversary date as password to grant each other access for transparency.A notification came in almost immediately the phone came on, it was from an unsaved number. it reads, "I hope you got home safe?"His hands began to tremble, "is she cheating on me?" Beads of sweat starts to form on his fore head. "It's could be from a lady." He thought.
