A quick shower made Moriah feel good again and in less than an hour, she was dressed up and ready to go to the company.

Caesar wasn't picking up her calls, so she was clueless about what was going on. The only reason why he would schedule such an impromptu meeting is if he had something important to share but if he did, shouldn't it have been run through by her?

It was a bit confusing.

As she rushed out the door to where her driver was waiting, Adriana called out to her. “Mrs Lambert! You forgot your coat!”

Pressing a hand to her chest, she stopped to take it from her. “Oh, thank you! It is freezing out here.”

“Do you have any idea what the meeting is about?” She asked.

Moriah shook her head. “Not a clue. I have to go now or I'll be late.”

“Stay safe!” Adriana called out, hanging back as Moriah rushed into the safety of the bulletproof car, standing by the curb as she watched them go.

Fortunately, Moriah didn't have much time to dwell on the mystic nature of the meeting because as soo

    Clement didn't look surprised he was positively brimming with excitement as he strolled forward to receive a handshake from Caesar.Caesar's face was unreadable, so Moriah couldn't tell if he was pleased or unhappy with his decision.Clement with a bright smile on his face, puffed his chest out and cleared his throat. “On behalf of Lambert Inc., I must say that you made a very wise decision and I will bring your expectations and hopes to pass.” He said to Caesar, pumping his hand vigorously before turning to face us. His gaze skimmed over Moriah’s latching on to the girl he was sitting next to.She had stars in her eyes as she looked at Clement, leaning forward as though she wanted to touch him.Hmmm, that was interesting.Moriah made a mental note to find out who she was and why Clement was suddenly attached to her.Clement's booming voice intruded into her thoughts and she focused on him once more.“Being the CEO of a company such as this is a huge task, one that many of you doubt

    Rebecca's eyes bulged when Sean kissed her and she froze in place, not sure how to act or what to do. Sean senses the resistance and immediately backpedaled, thinking he read the room wrong and made a mistake. Groaning, he slapped a hand over a face briefly closing his eyes in shame. “Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me. I shouldn't have done that.” His hands were raised, his eyes filled with apologies. “Believe me when I say, I had no intentions of doing that when I invited you over. I-”Rebecca's cool touch on his skin calmed him down, stopping him from rambling. “It's fine, Sean.” She bit her lip, not sure if she should say anything more. Should she tell him that her heart sang for joy when their lips touched and all she wanted was more?Should she tell him that the only reason why she froze up wasn't because she was disgusted or repulsed but due to surprise?Unfortunately, the pause went on for too long making things awkward so Sean decided to retreat.“Um,

    Sean stiffened for a moment when he felt Rebecca's lips on his. He was taken by surprise at her forward reaction but then he was tired of always feeling alone, betrayed by everybody he met.For once in his life, he wanted to be selfish and capitulate on his emotions.Seizing her upper arms, Sean slanted his lips over hers kissing her deeply. Conscious of the mirrors, he tried to keep it PG but Rebecca wasn't having it, practically devouring his lips.Biting down on her plump lips, he gripped her chin in a firm hold roaming his hands up and down his body.She moaned, sneaking her hand underneath his shirt. The skin-on-skin contact drove him wild and all his restrictions flew out the window.Shoving her up against the nearest flat surface roughly, he seized both hands in one moving his mouth to her neck.Hesitating, he drew back to look at her. “Are you sure that you want this?”Rebecca's eyes were filled with hunger and she snaked a hand around his neck. “You having second thoughts?”

    Standing the freezing cold, Chloe looked left and right for any sign of Luke.His car wasn't here yet. Rolling her palms together to ward off the cold, she took a quick glance at her watch biting her lower lip.Twenty minutes late.“Chloe!” she heard him yell from down the street, waving his hands like a madman. He had on a leather jacket and a longer coat that reached his legs and a fitted jean that molded the shape of his thighs. To finish off the look, loafers donned his feet. Jumping out of his car midway, he raced to get to her wrapping his hands around her.“I'm so sorry I'm late, the car broke down on my way here.” He apologized, rubbing his arms over hers. “Hope you aren't pissed off?”Actually, she was but Luke looked so torn up over it that she decided to let it go. “It's fine. I would like to get out of the cold though.”He practically carried her into his car, cranking the heat up to the highest.Chloe slowly felt the cold ebb away and she could slowly feel that she was re

    Chloe went through the crowd, desperately needing to be away from everyone. She could feel Luke behind her but that only spurred her on to move faster.The DJ had on a fast tune which had everyone moving their bodies to the best, making it harder to cut through the mesh of bodies.Spying a red door on the other side of the room, about twenty feet away Chloe hurried over pushing it open.It led to an alley behind the club and her surprise was relatively clean. The cold evening air whipped at her skin, reminding her how the flimsy outfit she had on. A glance at her back showed her that Luke wasn't at her heels anymore, giving her to chance to breathe.Gulping in fresh air like her lungs would collapse if she didn't, Chloe kept an eye out for strangers while she leaned on the brick wall.“You're Chloe right?” A woman's voice a couple of feet from her reached Chloe's ears. “That famous guy's ex-girlfriend?”“Fiancee.” She felt the need to correct the girl even though the last thing she wa

    Chloe avoided all contact with Luke after that disaster of an outing the other day, staying holed up in the house until Maeve grew sick of her.Chloe could hear the sigh from a mile away before Maeve plopped her ass on the chair next to her.“Okay, what the hell is going on?”Chloe had the clueless look down to an art form. “What do you mean?”“Don't you pretend to not know what I'm talking about, young lady!” Maeve said in a mock stern manner.It was such a good imitation of her that Chloe burst out laughing, the sound effectively dissolving the tension. “Now, that was a good one.”“Don't try to change the subject, Chlo.” She gave her a pointed look. “Luke has been blowing up my phone for the last couple of hours, saying that you're not picking up his calls.”Uh-oh, that was exactly what I was afraid of.“Maeve…” Chloe drew her name out.“I know it's none of my business but the poor guy's in love with you!” Maeve exclaimed. “He trails about you like a lovesick puppy, and you don't ev

    “Hey.” Chloe greeted, sliding into the booth.Amber slurped her drink greedily. “I honestly thought you weren't going to show up.”“Why? I was the one who reached out to you.”She shrugged. “Stranger things have happened.”A middle-aged woman with salt and pepper hair approached them then, clutching a battered-looking notepad. “What can I get you? That's if…you're ready to order.”Amber looked at her. Chloe picked up the menu, scanning the available dishes. Nothing appealed to her, besides her stomach wasn't settled enough for her to eat anything. “I'll get the chocolate milkshake, and maybe a bagel?”The lady turned to Amber with a questioning look. Amber raised her glass which had a red-looking drink in it. “I'll have some more Bloody Marys, please.”“Why here?” Chloe asked, looking around. “I would have expected something more high-end from you.”“This place belongs to a long-lost cousin of mine, although it was badly run down a couple of years ago before he reached out to my fathe

    How could you be that foolish? Rebecca berated herself, stalking through the suite until she was in the hallway. She kept walking until she left the hotel and farther down until she saw a bar.Thinking it was a good idea to drown her sorrows in alcohol, she walked to the bar climbing on the nearest stool. “I'll have whatever's strong enough to knock me out please.” She told the bartender who only shrugged, probably seeing people like her come in every night.Rebecca groaned, dropping her head onto the hard granite counter with a thunk. It's pretty depressing that Sean wasn't even bothered enough to chase after her with an apology.“Your drink, ma'am.” The bartender spoke and she raised her head. He slid a tall glass filled with a peach-colored liquid and an umbrella at the top.She raised an inquiring brow at him. “What's this?”“Beach City or that's what the folks around here like to call it anyway.” He told her before his attention was diverted by other patrons.Rebecca examined he

    “So you’re going to do the wedding before you start to show? Why not do it after?” Maeve asked as they lay upside down on the couch. She had a permanent smile on her face these days and Amber liked to joke that she was receiving great sex from Ivan. They had been under the covers for way too long and finally announced their relationship over Sean’s takeover dinner last week, of course none of them were surprised even Mrs Lambert had teased them about it. Sean had passed all the requirements and Clement was serving Jail term for the next two years. Sean knew if he came out he would seek revenge again but he was going to gloat in the beauty of having a wife with him, at the end of the takeover night when he was crowned CEO, he went down on one knee and proposed to Chloe.“Sean wants it soon,” Chloe answered, fidgeting with her sheets.“Sean wants it or you want it? You don’t listen to what he says and he does all you ask!” Amber retorted and they laughed.“I don’t think there’s any ne

    The beep from the EKG monitor was the only sound present in the room. Sean had sat just as he was seated throughout the night, holding Chloe’s hands as she received the treatment, the doctors had done a mini surgery and removed the bullet. He also cleaned up the injury and she was still unconscious, Chloe’s eyes had only fluttered open once in the night and the only thing she had said was “Sean” and she went back to sleep.“Are you sure I shouldn’t switch with you? You’ve been keeping watch throughout the night.” Maeve asked him her concern was clear in her eyes. Sean scoffed and shook his head.“No. This is my fault, all of it is my fault and now she is probably fighting for her life.” Maeve sighed. “She's not fighting for her life. The doctor said she’s safe, all that’s left is for her to receive proper treatment. Allow the nurse to stitch up your wounds and let me spend time with my sister.”Her final words did the trick, Sean nodded and stood up, pushing back the chair. “If she

    “Your stupid boyfriend is here! How did he locate us?” Drake panicked as the police officer’s voice sounded from the speaker again. He didn’t know how to act or what to say.“Don’t ask me” Chloe muttered under her breath, feeling her chest bustling with emotions, she was finally going to be away from the shackles of captors and ropes!“You have bad taste in men.” He concluded and she raised an amused brow as he continued. “Listen to me, just agree that you wanted to stay away, that way nobody gets hurt. Not you, not me.” Chloe pretended to be lost in thought. A few seconds before her head snapped up and she looked at him.“No, I won’t be doing that, I'd rather die than let you go scot free and I mean that in every possible way.” She snapped at him and immediately he pulled out a knife again and wrapped his left hand around her neck, he placed the knife on her neck and led them downstairs, Chloe groaned in his hands, acting up to hide this year that she felt when he pressed the knife a

    Sean would remember to give Amber a hug when next he saw her because apparently, she had the foresight to dial 911 and halfway through their pummeling, the cops showed up. The whole place was surrounded, escaping was out of the plan, Clement wanted nothing but to pluck out his brother's eyes but the cops had their own plan which involved he conflict ending peacefully.Everyone of them including Maeve and Amber were placed in the vehicle and driven off to the station. Only Drake and Chloe were not there which made pissed Sean off especially when he had his eyes on her less done twenty minutes ago.His first instinct had been to drag her out of his arms but holding on to Camille had made that impossible. Camille now sat at the corner of the van looking out the window wondering how she had managed to end up in this exact place again. Maeve was all cuddled up on Ivan in a cozy position, and he made a mental note to ask Ivan what was going on between them later.“Amber,” he muttered an

    Waiting for Clement didn’t take long, he came forty minutes later, the sound of his car was the first thing they heard and it was Drake who brought their attention to it. Amber, Maeve and Ivan immediately left, then Sean followed with Camille and stood behind the large banister at the living room exit, hiding his view.Sean's heart was racing at a mile per minute and he prayed that nothing went wrong so they were able to get Chloe. Camille wanted to say something but he pressed his hand over her lips firmly. “If this goes wrong because of you, trust me I will invent ten thousand ways to slowly kill you, so shut up!” He hissed.“If you don’t have something reasonable to say then I swear I will shoot you right here right now” Clement growled as he walked over to where Drake stood with Chloe, he bent toward her and held her chin. “Hello Chloe, I trust they’ve been treating you poorly.” “You don't need to worry about me, it seems you have bigger problems,” she said to him, and he chuckle

    The gun remained on Drake's head and the knife remained on Chloe’s neck as the three of them walked into the building again. If Ivan knew better he would have taken the risk and fought her out of Drake's hands, but who was going to believe a man hardened by life’s many struggles would hesitate to cut his prisoner's neck wide open. The knife to her neck was causing Drake to feel sick in the stomach but his fate would be much worse if he let her go without Clement’s consent. “We’re in here!” Maeve called shakily from what looked like it used to be the living room of the mansion, when the three of them came into full view and Ivan saw that Sean had Camille he dropped his weapon. “What in the hell happened here?” He gasped, subconsciously shielding Maeve from any stray bullets that may be fired.“Sean, Maeve!” Chloe cried out loud, all her emotions concentrated into that one word. She wanted to say more and even run into all their arms but Drake placed his palm over her mouth. Ivan watc

Sean had suggested Trevor stay back while the rest of them spread out in Aviline, a slim in downtown New York.It was a spot where the low or the lower class lived, just like Trevor had described.The young man was more useful than not and Sean was going to make sure he fulfilled his promise, but first…“Have you texted Clement?” Sean asked Ivan and he nodded, in response, bringing out the phone to show him the text.Amber and Maeve were standing a few feet away from them, lost in their own discussion. It was going to surprise Chloe to come out and see that her sister had made a friend in Amber who she originally hated a lot.Ivan flashed the phone in front of him reading the chat out loud.“Yes, you said ‘Chloe is missing, have you heard anything from anywhere that suggests foul play?’” “Well I guess that’s convincing enough.

    “If you honestly say a word, I’ll stuff my hands in your mouth.” Dufus threatened and she was quiet, she had lost strength and zeal, her despair was crawling over her and she wondered how long this torture would have to go on for.After Drake left, he didn't come back and instead they sent this Dufus guy to take over because she hadn't seen him since then almost like Drake couldn't stand the sight of her.From the beats and pieces of conversations that she heard she realized that she was being moved, as they handled her roughly, pushing against her as she got in the car, shoving her roughly into the new space before pulling off a blindfold.This new place that they took her to was even worse than the last, dank corners with rusted irons scattered about. The smell was horrible and she could see that a section of the ceiling was leaking, leaving a puddle on the floor.

    They settled in a corner of the pub, Ivan and Sean on one side and Camille sat pretty opposite, she had the air of someone who felt in charge and her cockiness was enraging Sean.Ivan noticed and patted him on his arms, urging him to remain calm. Ivan leaned forward and pushed one of the beer bottles Fatima had brought, towards her. It was her third bottle.“So, you are here to see your former captor, get a closer look?” Camille asked as she took a large gulp of the lukewarm drink, Sean had taken a bottle and decided he had enough but she was still going at three. It definitely pointed to some kind of celebratory mood.“No actually, we need your help on something,” Ivan told her and Sean watched as his friend delved into an Oscar award-winning act, his face twisting into a concerned one.“Recently, one of our friends went missing, we didn’t know if it was a voluntary ghosting or an actual case so we are being more on the low profile side. She was last seen in this area, I was hoping s
