Chapter 11 Maria walked around the kitchen counter with a smirk. She had it all planned out, and the silly idea she was would come to play. It wasn't her fault that she served him the wrong kind of coffee, she didn't know what he liked. She was going to have her revenge on him. She brewed another coffee while searching for black pepper. Her aim was to make sure that Adrian didn't mess with her next time. "Gotcha!" She exclaimed when she saw the transparent container that held the pepper. Her hands reached for a teaspoon that was beside the plate rack and she dug into the container, taking the amount she needed. She only took a pinch and stirred and when she was satisfied, she headed back to his office while the cleaner rushed in and cleaned the mess that was made. "Your coffee is ready, sir," She said, knocking twice on the door. "Bring it and quit standing there, will you?" He snapped, his eyes glued to the laptop in front of him. She placed the saucer which was different fro

KIDNAPPED BY THE CEOChapter 13Maria and Kelvin exchanged surprised glances. They couldn't stand each other and the last thing she expected was Adrian asking him to take her in. "What do you mean by that? How can you ask him to take me in, isn't it better I crawl all the way in," She yelled. "It's either you stay outside alone or you allow him to take you in. Is that understood?" He asked, his voice slightly raised showing how irritated he was by her defiance. She nodded slowly and sulked while Kelvin swept her off her feet. She didn't bother to resist as she had enough for the day. Her body ached for the soft mattress in her room and she couldn't wait to lay on it. "Can you hurry? Your arms aren't so comfortable," She bemoaned and rolled her eyes. Kelvin increased his pace until he got to her room. He dropped her gently on the bed and while he was about exiting the room, Maria stopped him with a shocking question. "How did you feel after watching that innocent man die?" He tw

KIDNAPPED BY THE CEO Chapter 15 Maria's breathing grew rapid because of the discomforting position Adrian put her in. "Let me go!" She hollered demandingly but Adrian only regarded her like a mere servant that had no right to make orders. Frustrated and angry, she tried to kick his stomach but he was able to sense her move and block her legs from touching him. "Why do you like to test me, huh? There was obviously no need to escort him to the door, you just wanted to sell yourself to him." He paused while Maria wore a deep frown, thinking of what to say to save her pride. "I told you earlier that you'll be going to work tomorrow, but you argued and called me names. Now you have decided to be very nice to the doctor." "How is that any of your business? He was very kind to me and he is more of a human than you'll ever be," She said and scoffed. "Oh really?" He narrowed his brows and smirked, lowering his face towards her since he was taller than her. "I wonder who trained you becau

KIDNAPPED BY THE CEOChapter 17 Maria, who was elated because of the contract that she was able to get, became sad at her boss's choice of words. If it were to be Mr Raymond, he'd have praised her and even give her some money. While she pondered on what Adrian said to her, the door of her office swung open and she knew exactly who did that. "Hi! Bestie, congratulations," Rachel stormed in and hugged her tightly, then sat on the little couch in her office. They had been best of friends since Maria started working in the company. But it didn't just happen, Maria who was very jovial and outspoken once helped her when she noticed that Aurora insulted her. Not being able to take it, she barged into their conversation and made sure that Aurora never spoke to Rachel in such a manner. Rachel was very grateful and she insisted that they went for lunch together, and since then, they had turned to soul sisters. She had been absent from work because she went on leave, and they communicated

KIDNAPPED BY THE CEOChapter 19 Adrian didn't expect to see his mother in his house. She has briefed him over the phone that she might breeze into his house soon but he discouraged her. He didn't want her to get suspicious of what he had done or notice the tension between him and Maria. "I came to see my boy, of course. Is there anything wrong with that?" Veronica asked with a small frown. "Nothing is wrong with that. I'm just surprised and unprepared for your visit, and I can see that you are settling in well," He said, taking a glance at their entwined hands. "Sure. I like her already, she's so beautiful and homely," Adrian scoffed and hugged her briefly then darted his eyes towards Maria who kept staring at Veronica's nails until she was sure that he wasn't looking anymore. Veronica noticed the slight tension between the both of them and cleared her throat. "Ummm . . children, I know you are both stressed with work, so I'll head to the kitchen right now and prepare something
