Arthur laid Patricia on the sofa, he quickly arranged for some bodyguards to take over and secure the place while he proceeded with his next step of action.He called a number on his phone. "Hello, Carla?""Yes, who is..." Carla immediately recognized the voice. "Arthur Lorenzo?""Yes it's me.""To whom do I owe this pleasure?" Carla asked in surprise."I thought you would be interested in being a real reporter this time.""Hmmmmm, I don't think I'm ready, I resigned from my job to take a break.""I know you resigned and that is the more reason you're the perfect fit for this job. Enough break, Carla. It's time to get back to work.""What are you talking about? I already said I'm not going to be anyone prawn.""You tell me, how does being n independent famous reporter sound?""What do you have for me?" Carla asked, taking interest."We are going live, Carla." Arthur announced. "Two of my friends are being hostage by a drug baron who happens to be an acquaintance of Amelia.""What?" Ca
Fargo took off the glasses and smashed it to pieces disconnecting the live video. "What do you think you're doing?" He asked as he rained slaps on Arthur's face.Arthur groaned loudly in pain. "I'm unveiling who you truly are to the world.""I'll kill you." Fargo said angrily as he sent Arthur crashing on the ground with another blow.Arthur spat blood. "You shouldn't have touched my family."Fargo took out a pocket knife, "I'll let you experience pain and beg me to kill you.""The moment you kill me, your entire life will be over. No matter where you go, you'll always have to be on the run.""I've killed once, you think I'll be afraid to do again?" Fargo asked."The choice is yours; turn yourself to the police and face the law or be on the run all your life like a rat.""We would see about that, I'm going to take my time with you." Fargo replied. He grabbed a small bottle and a syringe and injected it Arthur s body causing him to feel numb and weak. "Remember, nobody is coming to save
Arthur was devastated at the news of Matilda's death, he had blamed himself for her death and took what was left of her ashes and placed it in a columbarium.Bella stood by his side, mourning with him and helping him through that phase.The police launched a full investigation, arresting Patricia and Amelia. Arthur's gathered evidences were very instrumental in their arrest.Soon, Patricia and Amelia were arraigned for trial. Bella had pleaded for a chance to talk to Patricia at the final trial. "Why do you have to hurt us so much? I treated like you a sister and James adorned you.""Tell me why I should be nice to you filthy pieces of trash?" Patricia asked showing no remorse. "You stole Arthur from me, I regretted not poisoning you to death when I had the chance."Bella bursted into another round of fresh tears, "you're hopeless.""Take her away."Arthur pulled Bella to himself. "Everything would be fine, I'm certain justice would prevail, let's go in and hear the final verdict." He
It was night and the darkness was the perfect cover to mask her shadow. Bella stone stood few meters away from Arthur Lorenzo mansion in her cheap but beautiful dress. It was a mansion that housed the biggest playboy in town. It was bubbling and loud music could be heard.Gaining entrance has been her greatest challenge because of the tight security put in place. She gave out a sigh. She was at saturation point and was breaking down rapidly. Her eyes were teary but she wasn't going to let the tears drop. She has an important mission tonight and if she was to make an headway, she definitely can't have her make up ruined. The last time she was there at the gate, she was turned back because she wasn't on the guest list. She wasn't going to make a good out of herself twice. it has taken four weeks of intensive planning to finally think of something that might work and help her gain entrance to Arthur Lorenzo.She watched with keen interest as different people drove expensive cars that sh
Bella cunningly detached herself away from the queue she had illegally attached herself to. She had just one mission and that was to find him. She had seen his pictures and know what he looks like. She was now tasked with the responsibility of finding him and making him the ridiculous offer that had been on her mind for weeks now.She was new to the mansion and finding her way around was difficult since she was new to the place but since she jumped the first hurdle, she was certain she would be able to surmount subsequent challenges as well.Each section of the outer space in the mansion was filled with people to the brim. People were laughing, talking and some were dancing to the music being played. She envied them especially the dancers.Had she been in a better situation, she would have love to dance as well. Bella had always enjoyed dancing ever since she was a kid. She especially enjoyed dancing with her father before he passed on. She was a fantastic dancer and would sway the at
Cold shiver ran down his spine as he took a glance at her again. Though the woman I front of him was not the most beautiful woman he had met, there was no doubt, she was absolutely stunning but she was obviously not in his class.He withdrew himself from her before clearing his throat."Come with me." he wasn't asking, he was ordering. He turned around and headed to only God knows. She stood there without moving an inch. She knew from his demeanor that he had seen through her lies." I'm sure you heard me loud and clear." Arthur said jolting her out of her thoughts. Bella walked behind him slowly with many thoughts in her head. Arthur paused and turned around again facing her."Just so you know, don't think of running about or escaping like you've been doing earlier, I've seen your face and of course it has been captured by the CCTV fixed at one edge of the house." He said pointing to the almost invisible camera. "You can try running and tomorrow you would be on the news for a crime
Bella's heart broke at the thought that he would asked her such a question. "I'm not lying to you." She looked at him straight in the eye. Sh wouldn't blame him entirely if he was still doubting her. She had lied to him about being a waitress because she didn't want to have to recount how she got in. "I'm telling you the truth, I came here purposely to see you." It's was embarrassing enough recounting how she had stalked him for weeks."Okay fine," he said looking at her so deeply. "Going forward, I'll appreciate if you're honest with me. That would help fix the broken trust between us." Bella nodded. "I promise, I will." She took another bite calm her nervousness."I never forget a face I'd come across before and you," Arthur pointing to her. "Had never crossed my path not even in my dreams. So why are you here to see me?""It's complicated." She said almost choking on her food."Take it easy, we could push our conversation until you're done eating."Bella quickly gulped down the ju
"You do not have what it takes to appeal to me in a sensual way." He wanted to pick his words carefully but at the same time, he didn't want to be soft on her. "You probably know my spec of women and you darling are not in any way in their league."His word stung her heart but she beared it, she wouldn't be here without a reason and there was no way she was going to tell him the real reason why she willingly to sell her body to him.Arthur was not done yet. "And besides, I get to decide on who becomes my women, my women don't have the luxury of coming to me at will just because they want me" "So you're saying I just conquered your routine?" She asked founding her voice. She was looking him with so emotions written on her face and she saw his eyes flickered. She found him so cute. "I'm saying you took a dangerous and foolish step, I might harm you and nothing will happen you know." He caught her staring at him suspiciously."Yes I know it was dangerous but it was my decision to take t
