Chris swallowed and looked around, checking if anyone had heard what she had said. "What about Monica?" He tried to play it cool. He couldn't hide the sweat that traveled down the back of his neck. Rose closed her eyes and sighed. "Come on now, I know what it is," Rose walked over to him. "Monica is with Arthur right?" Chris lowered his head at her and frowned. "If you tell father, I will never forgive you," he threatened her. "Surely, you can trust me more than that," Rose laughed. She ticked Chris off. He wanted to walk out, to leave her as soon as possible but it was unsettling. "Scared that daddy will be dissapointed in you?" Rose pushed on. Chris gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. "Look, just go straight to the point, what do you want?" He asked her. "I just want to help you, but you are being cross as hell, help me help you," her words surprised Chris. Chris sucked air through his teeth and looked around. It wasn't even nine a.m yet, but his day was already becomi

The smoking wreckage of the car Chris had been in went up in flames. Richard silently watched, masking his fear as he forced smiles on his face. He knew what he was getting himself into if he involved himself with the Boltons, but his greedy drive for success blinded him."Richard."Richard gnawed his nails as the fire service put out the fire. The police siren was loud at eleven in the afternoon, with the press appearing on site to cover the story."Richard!""Hunh?" He turned around and Chris passed him a towel."Let's get inside, the press is here. Rose says it's for our safety," Chris walked away. He pulled Richard by the arm as they walked inside the building."Scared now? Good for you, now you know the kind of shit you have gotten yourself into," Chris hissed."Well I'm not the main target, it's you they want to kill," Richard tried to act tough.Chris pulled Richard aside, in the hallway just before the elevator in the building."Look, you can walk away now. It's going to get d

Chris's left side felt cold and empty, making him turn and toss in his sleep. Even in his semi-conscious state, he understood that something was wrong. Chris's eyes flew open.Sarah was gone.He slapped his head in frustration and he saw a note beside him. He presumed she was the one who wrote it. He rubbed his eyes as he battled sleep and read the note."Thanks for the free money and food, I will be taking your wallet. Catch you later."Chris put the note down and smiled. She had also taken his car keys, his numerous credit cards, his warm jacket, and valuables.Well, that was a gang leader for you. Once a criminal is always one. He wished he could see the feisty lady soon again.The phone's screen came on because of him and he rubbed his eyes. His heart nearly flew when he saw thirty missed calls."Jesus Christ, " he stood and walked outside. The morning was as cold as the night. He closed the warehouse's door and walked to the escort from yesterday was still parked in the corner. H

Chris and Michael took their seats at the head of the table, and it was then that everyone sat down in their respectful seats. The atmosphere in the room was so tense that you could almost smell metal in the air. Michael moved forward and took the mic. "Please, let's commence." His voice was thick and exuded authority. To Chris, it was like his father had become a different person. Michael's attendant, Mrs Yvonne walked to her laptop and played a demo of the project on the screen. Everyone's eyes looked at the screen silently as it displayed projections of the profit the project would acquire in the long run. "As we can see, the profit doubles when we launch it in the fashion season which is April to mid-June. That way, we can generate massive profits," she paused and smiled at the executives. "Thank you for watching this. Any questions?" She stepped away from the screen. Arthur cleared his throat. "So we will be working together with GLAM for this?" He asked Mrs Yvonne. "Surely

"So you lied about my father?" Chris noticed that his father was still talking to the other executives. "You just wanted to get me away from them?" He demanded. "You should know that it is dangerous being very close to these two. It's obvious they don't like you," Rose replied. Her walkie buzzed and she clicked a button. "Come on, let's go. Your father is going to have lunch with the big men. Lemme take you away from here." Rose walked towards the Land Rover in the parking space. Chris scoffed. "You know, you should stop treating me like a baby. I'm perfectly able to impregnate you," he said as he followed her behind. "Let's hope it won't come to that," Rose retorted. Her back was to Chris, but he caught the slight blush on her face. Chris smirked, even if she acted tough in front of him, she couldn't hide being flustered by his comments."Are those glasses tinted?" Chris pointed to the vehicle. She cocked an eyebrow as she stood at the side. "Yeah, why are you asking?" "Nothing

The meeting place wasn't originally what he had intended it to be. He expected a huge private boxing ring in a penthouse where he would have access to sophisticated training equipment. But Chris was very disappointed, to his surprise. It was an empty warehouse close to the river. And it was at night again. Chris reluctantly stepped out of the car and switched off the ignition. he noticed several parked cars in the distance, probably her protection detail. He was even more surprised that none of them even bothered to stop him as he walked around aimlessly. But he was sure that they saw him. "Yo!"Chris nearly jumped away. He was surprised to meet Sarah behind him. He took his time to study her. She wore sports tracks heads down. "Hello?" She waved her hands in his face. "Huh? Hey, don't do that, you scared me into a trance," he forced a smile. He wondered what weapons she was hiding under those large tracks. Sarah gestured towards the warehouse. "Let's head in," she suggested. C

Sarah took notice of the serious tone in his voice. Chris' usual childish and naughty attitude was gone and he looked directly into her eyes. It made Sarah feel warm somewhere. She muttered. "Obviously." "Hunh?" "You have to tell me everything if you want me to help me. I need to know you are not keeping anything from me," Sarah clarified. Chris held his knees. It won't be long before he would tremble from the cold. "So, it starts like this. Mabel Sanders is actually in a relationship with Arthur, the CEO of NEXUS, and Arthur in a bid to solidify his position shook hands with the devil," Chris stopped. "No way, did he meet your uncle?" Sarah adjusted herself. "Exactly," Chris confirmed. A small boat droned in the distance, nearly interrupting their conversation. "My first bodyguard, she was kidnapped. Her name was Monica and he is trying to use her as leverage to hold his position. I have a secret of his, a list of his corrupt practices in the company so he doesn't want me to

"Come inside let's talk," Chris tried to persuade her. Rose shook her head. "No way," she stared inside the open room. "God knows what shit you want to do to me," she held her gun. "Shit, we are talking about my uncle," he eyed the gun at her side. "And you will certainly not need that." He assured her. "Just to let you know." She brought a gun from her back pocket and wagged it in his face. "This one contains non-lethal bullets." She popped the magazine open and showed me the plastic bullets. "Stings as hell but it won't break any bones. And I won't be scared to shoot you in the head if it happens." She held the gun in her hand. Chris shrugged. "Trust me—""Trust what? That you won't touch me? We both know how you can control your hormones when you are near me when there's no one around," Rose lowered her voice. A maid pushed a trolley past them and she bowed her head in greeting and Chris waved at her in response. "Look, I'm not doing anything. I'm serious, I need your help. I

Thomas Bolton grabbed a dagger and lunged at Richard with a scream and just as he was about to drive it straight through his heart, Richard quickly sidestepped and the dagger grazed his arm slightly and Thomas fell to the ground. As he struggled to get to his feet, he heard a gunshot and felt a pain sear through his left foot. Bloody bastards!! Getting shot in the foot again!! He felt two pair of arms grab him and place him firmly back on his sit. As he sat, Chris grabbed a pistol from the weapons strap on the waist of one of the guards and pointed it at Thomas' head and cocked it and Thomas smiled at him."I don't think your pretty woman's going to like you very much if you kill me now." Thomas said with a smirk. "I mean, I haven't gotten around to telling her about her lost sibling and believe me, she'd really like to know that," he finished and Chris lowered the gun. "What? You know my siblings whereabouts?" Sarah asked and looked at him with teary eyes. "Of course I do. I kep

CHAPTER 181
Thomas Bolton stared at Richard then looked at the gun in his hand. He felt betrayed. Just when he had shown a little trust in him, he had taken advantage of that trust and stabbed him in the freaking back. He had sold him to his enemies and for how much, he wondered. He looked back up at Richard and could see that his eyes were emotionless, almost like he had sold his soul or something. Thomas wondered if that change had been present in him all week and he had just been too oblivious to notice it or if Richard had actually done a very good job of masking it. What had turned him that way? He turned to look at Chris Bolton and his company. He recognized both ladies well enough. He had held one hostage amd the other, he had killed her father. Well, Chris Bolton had certainly picked his crew right. Between all three of them who seemed to be head of the group, he had certainly caused them a lot of pain and hurt. He tore his eyes away from the three of them and looked at Victor. Now that o

CHAPTER 180
Chris Bolton was sitted in Michael Bolton's study with his laptop open in front of him but his mind was occupied. He is was in love with Sarah but couldn't confess it and he knew it wasn't because he was scared of being rejected by her or because he was worried about his father not accepting it. The reason he was worried about expressing his feelings for Sarah was because of Monica. He couldn't deny the fact that they had both had some tension between them when they had initially met. He had most certainly had something for her and he felt like she she had also had a thing for him, but he wasn't sure if she still had it. He has tried not to acknowledge his feelings for Sarah for a long time because he had felt like they made him disloyal to Monica, especially if she still had those feelings. What was he going to do? Was he supposed to just ask her? Wasn't that___? His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a knock on the door and just as he opened his mouth to call for whoever it w

CHAPTER 179
Richard aimed his gun at Luke Freeman and cocked it. Like his client Thomas Bolton, the bastard didn't deserve to live. He deserved to die and Richard without a doubt had absolutely no issue in giving him what he deserved. Besides, Thomas Bolton had betrayed him and there was no saying that the smart lawyer wouldn't betray him too. After all, it was just that afternoon that Thomas Bolton had reminded him about the possibility and risks of conversations being recorded. There was no saying that the sneaky smart ass hadn't recorded their conversation with plans to have him reported and arrested. Who knew? He really couldn't trust anyone. There was no saying that Luke Freeman wouldn't betray him because when all was said and done, Richard didn't actually have a single soul in the universe he could rely on to look out for him. He thought he had totally gotten rid of his little hopes and expectations of good from Thomas Bolton but apparently he hadn't because he could feel a tear trickle do

CHAPTER 178
Luke Freeman wordlessly took the sit Richard had motioned him into with the gun in his hand. Wasn't he the adopted son of Thomas Bolton? What did he want with him? Had they had an issue earlier in the day? Why was he in his house at such a time of the night and with a freaking handgun in his damned hand? What could he do? Should he try to set off an alarm or something? What warning signal could he send his neighbours that would alert them that he was in danger? His neighbourhood was actually quite a quiet one full of people who minded their business so the chances of anyone actually noticing whatever signal he gave was a pretty slim one and the chances of anyone noticing that signal and actually acting on it was next to non-existent. He was certainly toasted. The young man with handgun which he was freely brandishing at him, could kill him and no one would know. Why on Earth had he given in to his tiredness and not listened to the voice that had told him to stay back at the office and

CHAPTER 177
Richard remained sitted in his position as he replayed the conversation he had just listened to in his head. Well. Well. Well. It seemed like sneakily getting a voice recording of Thomas Bolton and Luke Freeman's conversation had most certainly paid off. So Thomas Bolton wanted to make some changes and adjustments to his will now, did he? That had without a doubt been the most - if not the only - important and interesting part of their conversation for Richard. He had to give it to his sixth senses for making him listen to that voice recording till the end of Thomas Bolton and Luke Freeman's conversation. What were the present contents of Thomas Bolton's will? What "changes and adjustments" could he possibly want to make? As far as Richard could tell he was the only heir of the old and insufferable bastard. Yes he was adopted but he was quite sure he was the only heir of Thomas Bolton. Didn't that naturally mean he was supposed to be the sole inheritor to all of the annoying geezer's

CHAPTER 176
It had been almost three hours since that annoying brat, Luke Freeman had appeared after being sent straight from hell to disturb Richard's peaceful afternoon and after haven restlessly and absent-mindedly seen a movie, Richard was itching to go get his phone and listen to the voice recording of Thomas Bolton and Luke Freeman's conversation. He had instructed a maid to immediately inform him about Luke Freeman's departure but she still hadn't shown up. What on Earth could the two men be talking about for so long anyways? As his mind raced with the endless possibilities about the contents of their conversation, he heard a faint knock on his door and he bolted out of his bed and rushed at the door. He opened the door and as soon as he saw the maid standing there he rushed past her without waiting for her to say a word. He headed straight for Thomas Bolton's lounge and he tried his best not to run and only appear like someone who had urgent and important matters to deal with. He soon go

CHAPTER 175
Chris Bolton stood at the entrance of Sarah's room as the realization that he was in love with her hit him. He had tried to ignore these feelings because they had been trying to get attention at a wrong time, but he couldn't ignore them anymore, not after seeing her sitted on her bed with her hair piled on top of her head in a messy bun and her upper body covered in a big sweater and that innocently welcoming smile on her face. He couldn't say for sure how long he had felt that way but he could say for sure that his feelings were very much there and alive. They actually explained a lot. They explained why he had recently began to feel so drawn to Sarah. He had tried to ignore and not acknowledge them but that hadn't sent them away. If anything, it seemed like ignoring and not acknowledging them had probably only helped them quietly grow stronger. He stood at the door and stared at her even as his discovery opened up a dam of thoughts in his head. Why had he been doing his best to igno

CHAPTER 174
In Thomas Bolton's lounge, Richard continued to take in the stranger who had walked into the lounge a little under a minute ago. From his rectangular rimless glasses to his suit pants and shirt and down to the black attorneys bag he was carrying, he certainly wasn't their usual type of company and Richard wasn't sure how he felt about him. While he didn't seem to spell danger, Richard also didn't care for his presence in the lounge as he had never really been a fan of strangers, especially when they did what he considered to be an invasion of his comfort space and invade his comfort space, this stranger was. Technically it was Thomas Bolton's but who cared? Thomas had come to accept Richard's constant presence in the lounge and Richard had definitely been enjoying it but at that moment, the stranger was taking away his comfort and Richard didn't like it one bit. He looked at him with his left eyebrow raised but the stranger just kept smiling at him. What was he? A robot? A raised eyeb
