“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
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
“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
It's my wedding day…Sean thought, standing in a daze. Having anxiously waited for this day for months, Sean didn't think ahead about how the day would go, and standing here now makes it a bit surreal.The wedding march started, the audience lifting to their feet to allow the bride to walk in.The little flower boys and girls were throwing flower petals on her feet as she walked past.Her father finally handed her over with a nod, and he took his soon-to-be wife's arm, facing the priest.Sean zoned out for most of it, making sure to say the right words when needed but most of the time, he was distracted by her beauty…and the exotic way she smelled.That must be why he didn't hear the announcement in the first place.“Sean!” Amelia hissed under her breath, jabbing him with her elbow.“Ow!” He exclaimed, looking up. “What is it?”Amelia's face was frozen into a weird expression of a half smile and half frown. “The priest asked you something.”Sean faced the man officiating the ceremony,
For the first time in a while, Sean stunned both Amelia and her mother speechless, as they couldn't speak for a good two minutes.The audacity that they both had to talk to him that way, demanding that he spend more money after all he had done for them.“How can you say that?!” Amelia yelled the momentary speechlessness had faded off.“It's not fair now that it's on the other show, is it?” He smirked.Moving his hand a bit, the glint of the wedding ring that Amelia placed on his hand caught the sun. The reminder of his impending nuptials with her sparked more anger, and he tore the ring off his finger tossing it as far away as he might would allow.Sean thought that he had found his soulmate, the woman who completed him but clearly, he was wrong.Amelia didn't have the same objective as he did, only concerned with her happiness in the end irrespective of how it may come about.“I'm done.” He told her. “Clearly, we were wrong for each other. I thought you loved me, I just…” he trailed
Sean stood rooted to the spot, still in shock as he tried to make sense of what he was seeing.While he was still contemplating his decisions, a long black limousine pulled over to the curb where he was standing.Everything was happening so fast, which made him scared.He moved back several feet, staring at the car door while waiting for it to open.A minute later, the back door opened and a long, lean leg came down encased in black heels.It was everything that stood still at that money, eagerly waiting for whoever it was to reveal herself.Amelia and his marriage was forgotten at that moment.She unfolded herself from the car seat, and her long blond hair flowed like liquid behind her.She has dark sunglasses perched on her dainty nose, a Rolex in her left hand, and a string of expensive beads along her neck.She was the epitome of wealth, every swish of fabric screaming expensive.When she saw Sean, she smiled walking towards him with her arm outstretched but before their skin coul
Chloe stood in front of Mr Lester, shaking like a leaf.She had always hated the man, realising that something was off about him. The lingering stares, how he practically stripped her naked when he looked at her.All in all, Lester rubbed her the wrong way and she did everything possible in her power to steer clear from him, except when it was unavoidable…like now.“I asked you a question, girl!” He growled, slamming his hand on the table.“S-sir, I-I…” Chloe stuttered, not sure what to say.“You're dragging us back, Chloe. Both this month and the last, you failed to meet your target.” Lester said, walking around her in a predatory manner. “If you continue like this, it won't bode well for the company.”She started to panic, reading between the lines. Ever since Chloe started working in this company, Lester had been looking for an excuse to fire her.Tears welled up in her eyes, and she folded her hands in prayer. “Sir, please…don't do this. I promise I'll work harder and be better!”
Lester's mouth dropped open in disbelief. He thought Sean was bluffing as he certainly couldn't buy that type of villa, especially with the money he had- if he had any at all.“You want to buy it?” He asked once again to be sure he heard properly.Lester felt Sean was bluffing and wanted to call his bluff, embarrassing him in front of everyone.Sean shrugged. “Bring it. If you get it, then I'll pay.”Lester turned his back to them pretending as though he was looking for something. He smiled mischievously before he reached for the intercom, pressing a button that would patch him to his secretary.“Jane darling, why don't you step into the office for a little bit?” He says, waiting for her confirmation before he tacks on something. “Oh, and bring the Marques file along with you.”He rubbed his hands in anticipation, ready to humiliate Sean. “My secretary is coming up with the necessary documents and contracts. Although I have to warn you, this particular villa is not less than $50 mill
