Audrey's POvThe back of my neck ached as I tried to understand what the fools in front of me were trying to say. This is the second time in a row I am sending my men out to get me a person and they return with no good newsI really don't want to believe what I am hearing right, I chugged down the rest of the vodka in the glass I held in hand. Tossing the glass at the stupid men in front of me, it hit the wall directly. They are lucky I have a poor throwing capability."What bullshit are you telling me right now?" I inquired in the calmest tone i could muster.The head of the team, Carlton stayed stiff. "We did our best sir, but their men and the police had outnumbered us.""I asked you to get Lauren. My brothers girlfriend, how can someone like her have access to guards?" I was boiling with steam now."She was with Mr Christian, sir." Carlton responded.I sucked in a breath, gritting my teeth hard. Whatever it is protecting Christian really has to be something unheard of. I have neve

Christian's POVI dropped my cutlery staring at him in confusion, "what do you mean?" The guard cleared his throat, after drinking water from the glass handed to him by Dora. "she started fussing and throwing things at the door. When I got in to see what was going on, she attacked me and bit me hard on my hand. I had to hold her back and run out of the room to come to you." I hissed in irritation, "is she still throwing tantrums?""She is locked back in now, boss." He bowed."Alrighr, that works. You can go." I told him.Silence reigned and I can sense Dora's eyes trailing my movement. As delicious as the casserole was. It was beginning to taste watery and all of the flavor I imagined to savor was all gone. "What is it, Dora?" "I know this might sound nosy, but I hope you know what you are doing?" "Pack up the food Dora, I will microwave it when I return." I muttered, standing up. My head reeled in anger as I made my way towards the room Lauren got locked up in. A guard had open

Christian's POVScrolling through my phone, I hissed at each post of the attack that had happened earlier I'm the day. It's almost midnight and they are all going crazy over the comments. Many of the blog posts have written more fabricated stories than I would have imagined actually happened to me. I had to leave the confines of the house and take the bicycle towards the end of the road where a gadget store, where WiFi could be used. The house and it's surroundings don't have reception and that was the plan for the house. Far from all of the city rustles, however I had called for some installations. Just that I need something else to hold Lauren down and prevent her from making any crazy call.I sighed, texting Donna. Instead of replying, she opened up a video call almost immediately. That lady has nothing like courtesy in her dictionary. If I wanted to see her face, there wouldn't have been a need to text first.Sighing, I picked the call. "Learn to seek for permission before carry

At 15 hours, the guard who was asked to go to the hospital (Maybean Hospital) for confirmation about Lauren's brother came back with a positive news confirming truthfully that Lauren's brother Aiden Palmer has been admitted for almost 3 years his life and now and his body is depreciating day by day, and the doctor attending to him, which is Doctor Shelby told the guard to tell Lauren to hasten up with the money for his operation on or before two months or get ready to transfer him to a better hospital because of the lack of enough materials to cater for his medical needs. When Christian heard this from the man sent, he put his hands on his head, confused and finding every piece of information given to him was true, he was having a mixed feeling his pride was telling it was not his fault, while his other thought was telling him that he should have given her (Lauren) a chance to explain herself seeing him in that situation. He decided to leave the bar to let Christian think, Christ

~Christian~ 'Prepare the jet. We're heading back to South Carolina' I said to one of the men closest to me few hours after the board meeting came to an end. Donna was suddenly interested in me the moment I surfaced into my office. I scoffed when I met her on my seat, drinking from a Bordeaux bottle. I took the seat in front of my desk, tousling my hair tiredly. 'Were you able to convince the board members?' Donna curiously questioned. I released my Tie knot and carefully drew it out my shirt collar. 'Seems I need not worry about getting robbed off my position that much. I've got enough members on my side' Donna leaned in on the seat, twirling in it softly. She crossed her arms on her chest. 'So you're saying Audrey lost to you?' 'Not entirely, he's got support from few of the board members also but most already pledged their loyalty to me considering the fact I'm the real son of my father. No one's ready to get on my wrong side.' 'Alright. She released a breath. 'A relief it i
