The Trillionaire Takeover Chapter 28: A proposal of deception
"Thank you," Amanda said with a gentle smile as sat down before taking in the luxurious ambience of the wealthy and high-class restaurant they were seated in. Barry took his seat as they settled comfortably into their seats under the soft glow of the candlelight which created a warm feeling over the elegant surroundings of their private room. Barry, who was on edge to impress Amanda, sat on the edge of his seat as he leaned towards Amanda who was taken aback by his action. He decided to go straight or rather dive deep into what came into his mind first. “Hey, Amanda,” he called out to her, slowly and a little bit sexually which irritated Amanda. The dinner had not even started but Amanda was starting to feel uncomfortable. “Why don't we order something bountiful to eat? And set the mood right before getting down to business! There is a popular saying that says the strength of within is what you use outside and what can fuel that strength, food! W
The Trillionaire Takeover Chapter 29: Acceptance
“What?” He uttered, sounding extremely surprised. “Barry, I don't have anything to say nor do I know what to say at the moment!” She expressed as she tried to hide her disbelief and her growing irritation. “What I can say is this is just too sudden and I might have to think about it thoroughly. I still have a job if you have forgotten, so I need time!” She was prompted to say as he kept quiet for a long while looking at her like a lost dog whose owner is dead. “Of course, you can do that! I mean you have all the time in the world to think about it, at least you should get back to me by ten sharp! But I think I know and I can assure you was this opportunity I am giving to you on a platter of gold is something you don't want to pass or slip your fingers,” He said, quickly regaining his composure as his puppy looked slowly faded into disappointment then he tried to cover it up with a fake charming smile. “Ten sharp? What do you mean, that's nearly an hour left!” Amanda complained to
The Trillionaire Takeover CHAPTER 30- A Toast Too Far
"No, I'm not going into your hotel room," Amanda stated with a serious tone. "Infact I think I should leave," She added, as she stood up, Barry immediately walked up to her. "Okay, Let's just have a drink together," He muttered, as Amanda looked at him. "Just one drink," He uttered. "Okay," Amanda said, dropping her bag before sitting down. Barry called out to the waiter who brought a bottle one wine and poured two glasses for the both of them. As Amanda collected the glass of wine, her eyes flickered from the glass of wine in Barry’s hand to his expectant smile. The restaurant’s lighting was soft and warm, almost giving the evening an illusion of comfort. But she felt anything but comfortable. This wasn’t a night out with friends, nor was it a celebration she wanted to be part of. Barry’s intentions were clear, and as much as she wanted to avoid confrontation, she felt the weight of his insistence pressing on her. “Barry, really, I don’t drink,” she said, forcing a polite smile
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

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. "I found a hospital," Smithson said as he pointed towards a hospital on the other side of the road. "Drive-in," Smithson ordered. The driver immediately drove into the hospi
