“Why? Why should I follow you to your office? I didn't even know you had a job. I thought you were jobless since you've been staying at home all this while to make my life unbearable," She retorted sarcastically, making him speechless. Maverick sighed and flicked his forehead. Can't she get what he's trying to say? Why does she have to act so oblivious? She's annoying, infuriating, rude and attractive at the same time. The feelings are just like a turmoil in his heart. He doesn't understand all these confusing, foreign and strange emotions in his heart. Why was it never like this with Amber or any other lady? Why does he only feel this way towards Whitney? Ann smiled as she heard Whitney's words. Perhaps she was just overthinking the whole thing. Cause Whitney doesn't seem to be interested in Maverick. And well Maverick might just be fooling around. He'll soon get bored and tired of her. With this thought in mind, she gave Whitney a smug smile and of course, the latter didn't n

Mr Winston paused as he heard the popular street. Isn't that where Madon's company is located making the street popular? “Then dispatch your men to look for her immediately. Once you find her, don't let her go. Just bring her here to me. I need to teach that little snitch a lesson about family values,” Mr Winston said to the phone with a spiteful look. “Yes sir, we understand sir,” the man answered quickly and cut the call. Mr Winston stared into space as he thought of something.*** “Sir... Sir... Are you there sir? We already got her location,” the man spoke into the phone clearing the remaining traces of sleep in Karl's eyes. He immediately sat up on the bed and gripped the phone tightly. “What location?” he asked the man. “Sir, it is about the lady you asked us to trace. We found her location. She is currently at Allen's avenue. Somewhere close to Madon's company,” the man answered his boss. Karl thought of it. Did she go there to search for a job? Where has she been all th

“Please find the location of the person whose picture I'll send to you now,” Maverick said into the phone. The man on the other side of the phone chuckled.“Cousin, which lady are you chasing now? Have Amber's memories faded so quick?” the guy asked and Maverick looked at his phone wishing he could go through the phone and slap the guy. If only he could slap back the sense into his head.Maverick smirked and just replied, “You are such a fool. If you don't come to my office right now and bring your hacking devices, I'll freeze your account.”The man on the other side was taking a bite of his KFC chicken when he heard what his cousin said and he almost choked. He quickly cut the call and picked up all the things he needed before rushing to Madon's company.If his cousin freezes his account like he just threatened, he will have no choice but to go back. And he is not ready to go back to that conceited, selfish, cunning, and cruel family.His heart contracts painfully every day cause he

“Then call her to come downstairs. Do you expect me to go and search for her myself,” Maverick told Mr. Winston. Mr. Winston gulped in fear before he turned around and walked upstairs slowly.Maverick told his bodyguards, “One or two of you should follow him. I don't trust him.” They nodded and hurriedly followed Mr. Winston. By the time they came back, Mr. Winston couldn't say anything as he stood far away.One of the bodyguards was carrying Whitney as she already passed out. Marks of the tight rope could be seen on her body. Her face was swollen with dried blood on one of her cheeks and there was blisters mark on her legs.Maverick stretched his hands towards the bodyguard and he handed Whitney over to him. He cradled her in his arms and stroked her cheeks. It still felt wet like she had cried. Her cheeks were all swollen so painfully.He looked up, his eyes were red in anger. “Who did this to her?” he asked slowly and dangerously cold.Gia's jaw already slackened with surprise when

He looks like he was deeply in thought when he asked her.He was also looking down when he asked. “I don't like the way they treated you. If you marry me, I can provide all the security, protection, and finances that you need. You won't have to worry about them retaliating anymore...,” he continued mumbling to himself like he was practicing how to ask her when she woke up. Whitney smiled when she heard him mumbling to himself. She had been awake since, even when Ann was here. But since she hates that woman so much, she acted like she was asleep.She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. She closed her mouth back in pain. Her cheeks ache a lot. She can't even talk out of pain.But she wanted to ask him, Why? Why does he want to marry her? Why is he being so nice to her? So nice that it was way terrifying. She was just a stranger to him. Why is he acting so kind? She is just his employee, shouldn't he treat her just like Tia's nanny? Her eyes revealed a cold glint a
