The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 31- Shadows in the Night
Amanda’s heart was pounding as she walked briskly down the dimly lit street, her mind still foggy from the wine Barry had insisted on. She clutched her phone tightly, her fingers trembling slightly as she dialled Lawton’s number. The cold air nipped at her face, and every shadow seemed to stretch a little too far, lingering like a silent threat in the dark. “Lawton?” Her voice was unsteady, the relief flooding her as he picked up. “Amanda? What’s wrong?” His voice, firm and familiar, instantly calmed her racing heart. It was as if he could sense the worry laced through her words. “I... I’m not sure. I feel strange, and... there are people, I think...” She paused, glancing behind her again. The two men from earlier were gone, but the uneasy feeling lingered. She took a shaky breath. “Can you come get me? Please?” “Send me your location,” he said, no hesitation in his voice. “I’m on my way.” Amanda quickly sent him a pin of her location, exhaling in relief as she knew he’d be there
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 32: The Narrow Escape
"Easy baby, we are almost there," Lawton said, as he walked towards the car with Amanda. He occasionally looked back to make sure the men were really gone as they walked. His hands were around Amanda's shoulder as they walked but she was too drunk to walk straight and it was both slowing them down. Lawton's hand began to hurt after some minutes and he decided it was best to carry her into the car as it would be faster and less stressful. "I'm going to lift you now okay," Lawton uttered, as he paused for a bit before slowly lifting Amanda up and carrying her into his arms. "Okay husband," Amanda muttered smiling, as Lawton walked towards the car with her in his arms. Lawton opened the door to his car and carefully placed Amanda in the front seat before helping her tighten the seat belt. He noticed Amanda was fast asleep as he finished and helped her adjust her head before giving her a kiss on the forehead and closing the door to the car. Barry who had been watching them all alon
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 33: Morning Shadows
Lawton awoke early, a faint light slipping through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room. He turned over to see Amanda lying peacefully beside him, her face relaxed in sleep, looking as if the worries of last night had completely left her. But Lawton hadn’t forgotten. His jaw clenched as he remembered her narrow escape. 'Who were those men? Who sent them?' he thought. The memory of the men trying to molest her gnawed at him as he stared at Amanda who was deeply asleep. He reached over, gently brushing a stray strand of hair from her face. Amanda shifted slightly but didn’t wake. His hand lingered, fingers lightly tracing her cheek. I have to keep her safe. She shouldn’t have to put up with men like Barry, he resolved. After a moment, he quietly slipped out of bed, careful not to wake her, and got ready for the day. As he came downstairs, Lawton noticed the clock ticking louder than usual in the silence of the morning. Just as he was fastening his watch, a sharp knock on
The Trillionaire Takeover Chapter 34: Amanda's first day
Amanda started to get ready for work and got fully dressed to start her day… her first day as Barry's employee, she was working as his secretary. She found a cab that drove her to Barry's company, the morning light finding its way to her face as she sat by the window. On getting to the building, she was taken aback a little bit because it superseded what she had in mind concerning the place. She made her way to the receptionist and with the card Barry had given her earlier that day, it pointed out what floor she was on. “You are on the tenth floor and this card will give you access to that part. Once you leave my desk, the entrance by my left has an access control system that leads you to the elevator which then leads you to the tenth floor, from there you will find your way. You will use this card for the access control system, I hope I am clear. You either swipe the card or tap the card gently,” the receptionist gave a full direction with a smile on her face, using her
The Trillionaire Takeover Chapter 35: Unexpected Arrival
Amanda walked into her office ignoring Barry who she could hear calling out to her. "I wonder what the hell is wrong with him," She muttered to herself quickly arranging her desk. She looked up at the time and realized it was getting late before continuing. She finished in a split second and walked towards her chair to get her bag when she heard a knock on the door to her office. "Who is it?" She asked, hoping it was not Barry but it was him. "Barry," She heard the voice say, as she rolled her eyes in irritation. He was starting to really annoy her and this made her wonder how she was going to be able to cope with working with him. She also wondered why he was so full of himself and would not take a hint and leave her alone as she looked at the door. "Are you in there?" Barry asked, knocking as he wondered why she would not ask him to come in already. " Yes, Come in," Amanda answered, in a quiet voice before packing some of her things into her bag. Barry walked into her offic
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 36- The High School Reunion
Amanda enjoyed the fresh air on the scooter as it refreshed her after the long day she had just had but as Lawton continued to drive home, she suddenly remembered about her high school reunion. She had earlier told Lawton about the time and venue of the reunion a few days ago but he seemed to have forgotten about it. "Today is the high school reunion, Lawton, I just remembered," Amanda muttered, breaking the silence. "Really, I totally forgot about it," Lawton replied, before taking a U-turn towards the venue. "Let's go then, we do not want to be late for your first reunion party," Lawton added, increasing the speed as Amanda smiled. Lawton arrived at the reunion in some minutes and both down of the scooter with Amanda. As they both removed the helmets from their heads, Amanda couldn't help but be wowed by the expensive cars parked in the parking lot. "Wow," Amanda muttered to herself, admiring the cars. "Let's go in," Lawton uttered, snapping Amanda out of her thoughts. "Okay
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 37- Turning The Table
"You absolutely do not have to worry about me, Steve, I'm good. Thank you for the offer though," Lawton uttered, as Amanda's ex-classmates watched him in disdain. They then all started to whisper all sorts of things about him to themselves, some of them wondered why he seemed so arrogant despite the fact that he was poor while the others called him stupid for rejecting such a good job offer that could have helped him financially. "You sure, buddy?" Steve asked, but Lawton only nodded his head with a gentle smile on his face. This made Steve a bit frustrated as all he had been saying didn't seem to have an effect on Lawton. He had been trying so hard to humiliate Lawton but could not understand how he still had a smile on his face despite all he had said to him. Amanda could see the defeated look on Steve's face and it made her happy. He had finally been put in his place and it felt good. Furious at how quickly Lawton refused the job offer, Steve decided to brag about his wealth
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 38: A Toast to the Truth
Amanda’s cheeks reddened as she glanced at Lawton. She’d been trying to keep a low profile during the reunion, but, of course, he couldn’t resist teasing her. His dark eyes sparkled with mischief as he leaned closer, flashing a smug smile that seemed tailor-made to rile her up. “Come on, Amanda,” he said, his voice low and teasing. “You’re not shy, are you?” Amanda nudged him under the table with her heel, the sharp glare she shot him practically screaming, Not now. Her lips pressed into a thin line as she fought to maintain her composure. The last thing she needed was to draw unnecessary attention to herself in front of her old high school classmates. The atmosphere in the private dining room of The Gilded Orchid was warm and convivial, with the soft golden glow of the chandeliers casting intricate patterns onto the polished mahogany table. The room had a touch of old-world charm, with heavy drapes framing the tall windows and ornate carvings decorating the walls. The scent of roas

They carried her into the car and Lawton entered the back seat with her while Smithson sat in the front seat with the driver. "Take us to the nearest hospital," Smithson instructed the driver who drove off immediately. The driver increased the speed a bit as he could tell it was an emergency. Lawton carefully placed Amanda's head on his lap as he felt her pulse frequently. "Please hurry," Lawton who was feeling a mix of emotions said.
