“I'm waiting.” Lily folds her arm.

“I have something you might need and you definitely have something I need.” Clement widened his leg.

“And this something is so important, you have to crash our party for it?”

“Yes.” He took a deep breath, removing his mask. “I'm sure you know who am I by now but needless to say, I will introduce myself. My name is Clement Lambert and I have a proposition for you.”

When Clement removed his mask, he saw trepidation flash through her eyes. “What do you want? You're clearly not welcome here. How did you even get in?”

“Easy.” He put up his hands so as not to spook her. “I'm not going to hurt you, like I said…I just want to talk.”

“Go on.” She waved a hand, giving him the go-ahead.

“I'm here to broker a deal.” He placed his hands behind his back. “I'll keep quiet about what I know if you and over your shares and give me a seat amongst the board at Medley's.”

A startled laugh escaped her mouth. “Is this some sort of joke?”

Clement said nothing.

    “Did you hear?” Rebecca asked Sean, walking up to him as he moved towards the office.“Hear what?” He stopped at the door, trying to unlock it. Truthfully, Sean has been in a daze the past couple of days.Not only has Chloe refused to take his calls but his renovation down at the new building for his company took a little spin, further delaying the work.The only reason he could stand in front of Rebecca this morning is thanks to two pots of coffee and three hours of sleep.“An executive director was kidnapped last night.” Rebecca was eager to tell him.Sean pushed open the door, dumping his briefcase and wallet on his desk. “Why should I know about this?”“Because he's an associate of Medley's!” She says, seeming too agitated for something he didn't quite understand.“Maybe someone got mad and ‘nabbed the guy.” Sean concluded flippantly, needing another pot of coffee. Rebecca didn't say anything which was odd. Turning to look at her, he discovered she had a weird look on her face.Th

    The day officially went to shit. Sean's day went from bad to worse after he tried and failed to convince his brother to tell the truth. Not less than twenty minutes later, he heard the patter of feet and raised voices. Choosing to investigate, Sean ran outside only to see Clement bring dragged off by a couple of armed men in uniform. Rebecca was standing off to the side, biting her nails nervously. “What is happening?” He asked, standing next to her. “I don't know. One minute, I was working and the next they stormed in saying he was under arrest.” “Did they say why?” She shook her head. “No.” That was all Sean needed to hear. Abandoning Rebecca at the sidelines, he jogged up to the cops searching for the one in charge. He was easy to find due to his bulk and the way people easily flocked around him. “I'm looking to talk to the man in charge.” Sean said loudly, gaining his attention. The man broke away from the rest who were forcing Clement into a patrol car. “And you are?

    Sean sat with Chloe for the next hour and they talked. They laughed, they cried but mostly they sat there talking about things that they wouldn't normally open up about. It's safe to say that they were feeling raw from the events in their life. It wasn't until Sean glanced at the clock that he realized how fast time had flown past. “Come on, let me take you home.” Sean helped Chloe up, lending a hand. She accepted it and they walked hand in hand to his car. The drive to her place was thirty minutes, but Sean felt reluctant to let her go. “Will I see you again?” He turned off the engine. “Aww, is someone missing me?” She pouts, smiling up at him. “I'm serious, Chloe.” He didn't know how it happened or when it did but she had happened to integrate herself into his life. Chloe was the light in his darkness and during this dark time, she shone brightly directing him to the better part. “Soon.” She touched his arm. “I'll call or text as soon as I can. Those shifts are threateni

    The look in Adams eyes was chilling. Sean nods, jerking his arm away. “She'll be safe with me, sir.”Amber was a couple of feet away from them, fiddling with her phone.“She better.” His voice was still low, bit wanting his daughter to overhear. “I don't know what kind of sick schemes you and your brother are cooking up but I'm the last person you want to cross.”With that last warning, Adam let Sean go with a friendly pat and smiling, acting like nothing happened.Sean composed before he got to her side. “What were you and my dad talking about?” Amber asked the second he was besides her, as if she was itching to get it out.“Nothing serious, just buisness stuff.”“Really? Because that seemed kinda intense.” She flashed him a look he couldn't quite decipher.Sean wondered if she heard what they were talking about and shook those thoughts out of his brain. “Your father is just worried about you.”“I know and it's stupid. It's like he doesn't realize that I'm an adult now and can do w

    Sean still felt uncomfortable after that happened.Amber practically plastered herself to the edge of the car seat, her face glued to the windows even though he was sure that she wasn't paying attention to the scenery.Clearing his throat, Sean felt the need to explain himself. “Amber, I'm very sorry for what happened earlier.”She spared him a look. The first one minutes. “I told you, you don't have to apologize. It's my fault.”“Not necessarily,” Sean argued. “I acted as though I was interested and it's not your fault for interpreting it in that manner.”She slapped her forehead with her palm, her face turning red. “You trying to explain why you avoided kissing me is making this situation more mortifying than usual.”Her obvious embarrassment made him chuckle. “Oops.”Removing her hands from her face, Amber stared at him. “You're a great guy, Sean, but if I'm being honest, I don't think I'd want anything except a fling and you seem way too intense for that…so I'm guessing everything

You need to leave.”“I'm here for the meeting I was promised.” He replied smoothly, not the least but intimidated by the act she put on. “Which I can see that you're trying to sabotage.”Lily bristled. “The only person that's trying to sabotage anything is you!” She took a step closer, lowering her voice. “You think I don't know what your plan is? I do because your brother already tried and he failed.”Sean didn't understand what she meant by Clement already tried and failed so he ignored her attempts to scare him.“If you think I'm going to fail, why don't you step asid

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?

    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

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.

    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
