Masuk“I really like you, Ann. Forget that guy who doesn't want you. I’ll cherish you, Ann. I've been tagging along for years. If not for these pictures you wouldn't even look at me.” he muttered, his voice soft. Ann stood, her eyes glaring and scary “Do you have money? Do you have two companies? Are you a president? Are you famous?” she asked, her tone brutal. The guy remained quiet. “If you have none of those, then back off. I hate you!” she yelled. “I can build all those things, I'm on my way to achieving them too. Come with me Ann,” he begged but Ann wouldn't budge. “If you ruin my plan and let him slip off my hand, I promise, you'll regret the day you were born.” she threatened and turned around, leaving him there. “If you move an inch more than you have, I'll also carry out my threat.” Ann bit on her lower lip in anger, halting in her steps “What do you want?” she hissed. “Come with me to the hotel, I want to have a feel of you this night,” he muttered. Ann balled her fist
“You heard me, didn't you mother?” Austin muttered, ensuring his mother received his warning. Mrs Beth nodded softly, her face sad. What sort of a mother had she been? She was busy going against her son with someone who hated him the most. Austin noticed his mother was feeling the betrayal and he decided to push further. “Dave was also interested in the woman I love. That's why he sent her away from me, so he could have her.” Mrs Beth's eyes opened wider. So Dave was with her for his own gain, not because he was helping her to convey her son to the right track whom he was loyal but because he wanted her. Mrs Beth felt a pang in her chest. She was playing with someone who was set to ruin her son. She couldn't forgive herself. She didn't like Bella, but she also didn't know Dave was in love with her and was just fighting a battle with her son while staying by her side. Dave was the most cunning person she had ever met. Those substances that he brought to put in her so
Disguising himself among his men, Dave couldn't recognize which one Austin was as he shot back vigorously. But unfortunately for him, Austin came through the shot directly to where he hid and dragged him out. He removed his mask and showed his face. “You dare do this to me! You betrayed me while I cared and cherished you so much.” he voiced, so much anger coated with his voice. Swiftly he sent a hard punch across his face. Dave fought back as they continued stumbling and injuring themselves. In a split second, Dave picked up his gun from the floor where he had kept it. Austin grabbed his too as the two pointed it at each other, drawing while Dave kept walking back as though he wanted to run. Austin was set to shoot at him. But he couldn't. “Pull the trigger he's running away.” one of his subordinates yelled but he couldn't bring himself to shoot Dave. I mean, they were best friend since childhood. They went through life together except that he turned around and betrayed
Dave sat in his office—his group.Men with muscles gathered in front of him.“Get this over with. And we’ll start arranging how to bring my woman,” he said, his voice cold and face hard.“When she comes, I'd give her training myself and she'd lead everyone of you here. Got it?” “Yes, Boss!” they chorused, their voice loud. “Now get to it. Continue training.”With that, he dashed into the elevator that brought him up and the place sealed back as if nothing was existing down there. He walked into his car and drove off.So far, his pirates were complete and ready to dominate the market.Now he could focus on bringing Bella and begin training with her.When he got to Austin's office, he wasn't anywhere to be found.For some reason, he felt some chill. Something was telling him that everything was not all right.Where was Austin? He drove off to his home but he couldn't find him.He decided to make a call to Mrs Beth.But the reply he got didn't sit well with him. He called Ann too but
Bella came to L&J at her usual time to see Tamara standing outside beside a car—too luxurious to behold. Bella couldn't help but smile at Tamara's new drive, she was happy for her. “Good morning Boss.” Bella greeted Tamara who had a charming smile on her face.“Good morning dear Bella. Today being your first day as the CEO of L&J, the company has decided to welcome you with this little ride.” she bellowed holding the key up.Bella's eyes opened wide along with her mouth.She couldn't believe it as she suddenly screamed. Was she about to be a car owner in New York? This car?She still had her eyes open as she went around the car.Tamara smiled. She knew Bella hadn't given her a reply yet, but she still got her this, not to bribe her but to appreciate her for her hard work.Actually, when she went home yesterday, she also thought about it, if Bella insisted on leaving, there was nothing she could do. She had been amazing in every way and leaving wouldn't stop her from appreciating he
“Let me ponder over it boss, I'm sorry for causing you such inconvenience,” Bella muttered, her voice soft. “It’s okay Bella, I hope you come back with a positive result tomorrow,” she muttered with a brief smile on her face, stood up, and went away.All the while hoping Bella comes back tomorrow with a really positive result, else her grandpa would call her incompetent and finally carry out his threat on her. ————Bella decided to walk home today, to feel the cool weather on her skin while she thinks of what to do.But her heart felt even heavier, she wouldn't be able to make this decision on her own. She needed to talk to someone.She decided to board a taxi and in a flash, she arrived at their home.“Hi Jas,” she muttered, her voice low. Jasmine raised her head from where she sat at her study desk. Looking up at Bella, she looked so stressed. “What’s up, Isa?” She asked, her face held concern.“Jas, I feel stuck in between.” She muttered and Jasmine raised her brow. “What’s th
