《The Last Ceo鈥檚 Deal》 Chapter 1: Rock and roll CHAPTER ONE ***CHRISTINES POV*** Christine!!!! My mothers voice calls from the living room. Coming mom! I yell back as I stuff my ck trenchcoat in my travel bag. Its gettingte! She yells back and I roll my eyes. Thats what my mom and I do best. We bicker to and fro all day long. Just a minute! I yell right back and I smile to myself, knowing that shes probably rolling her eyes. You have a minute. And your one minute starts now! Before shes done with her statement, I walk into the living room dragging my bags behind me. She looks at them and her eyes widen. All that? Are you moving out for good darling? Just stop it mom. I have like a few pieces of clothing in there. Then why all those bags? Oh, let me guess.. books. I shrug and stay quiet. She got me there. She looks at me over the rim of her sses. I know you are crazy about reading and all that but you need to know that they have malls in college where you can buy books. You dont need all this junk. Seriously mom, are you going to give me one of your lectures right now? About books? She shrugs. I can but I wont. Im just lucky that Im not dropping you there. She almost cringes as she looks over the pile of bags one more time. Mom, its my first day in college. The least you can do is take me to school. She shakes her head. Im sorry baby but I have a lot of work to do. Your father is taking you. Hell be here any minute from now. Hes not my father! I snap between my teeth. Your real father left you darling so the least you can do is appreciate Webb. He might not be your father but he provides for us. I still dont like him. Whatever child. Either way, hes taking you to school. She turns her attention back to herputer and I know when Im being dismissed. I swallow dryly and fight the lump that is forming in my throat. Im not going to give her the satisfaction of seeing me cry. Only if she truly knew the monster of a dad I have. I tug my heavy bags to the porch just as Webb pulls up in the driveway. He smiles when he notices me. Hey kid. He says cheerfully. I have no idea why I just cant Kill him. Theres something about him that puts me off. I want to rip out his heart and pull out his soul to the dens of demons, where he belongs. Hi Webb. I answer quietly. Oh,e on Christine. You can call me dad, you know? Youre not my dad. I say a bit too harshly and he grins. Some day youre going to consider me as your father.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Father my ass, its the Audacity to say such words before me. I fight the urge to roll my eyes at him as he dumps my bags in the boot. I sit on the co-drivers seat and focus on my phone as Webb drives to campus. Im totally ufortable around him and he knows that all too well. Im not too good at hiding my dislike for him. I miss my father I have no idea why my Dad had to die, Mom said that dad was a jerk and a good for nothing moron and that got him killed. I havent set my eyes on him since I turned thirteen and even though my mom has painted an image of a monster in my head, I somehow miss him. Some memories cant just be forgotten. Ill help you bring your stuff upstairs. He says again and I murmur a thank you as I strap my backpack over my shoulders. We walk in ufortable silence and I fumble in my pouch for the key. The room is big enough and both beds are unupied. Perfect; my roommate isnt in yet so I have the privilege of choosing whichever bed I like. I like this one better. Webb says as he sits on one of the beds and I turn to look at him. He is giving me an irritating stare. Well, Im choosing the other bed, just to spite him. I like the other one better. Thanks for driving me here but dont you think its about time you left? I asked in the most clipped tone I can master. A frown overtakes his visage. Not so fast little girl. Its a low growl rumbling from his chest and it immediately offsets me. I look at him and his eyes are dting as they move up and down my body. Fear creeps through me and for a moment there, Im totally motionless. What do you want? My voice is panicky and Im scared shitless. He takes a step towards me. I just want to instill some manners into you. Youve been a real pain in the ass thesest few years and its about time you paid for that; dont you think so. Youve had your own share of the cake!!! What do you want to do, you monster huh? Having your friends ripped me off isnt enough right? I say in panic and move backwards until my back hits the dresser. You can run but you cant hide. He tells me while closing in on me. I am numb. I cant scream; I doubt whether anyone is on the floor anyway. I have nowhere to run to and obviously fighting him is not an option *** The harder I fight, the more excited he bes. I kick and w at him but its like hitting a solid wall. I bite and p, hit and struggle but I cant overpower him. He throws me on the bed and pulls at my cotton Shirt, tearing it. I bite back the salty tears when he ps me. Watching him seed in his ns isnt the right thing to do, so I had to take action before things got out of hand. He tried pulling me to himself but I lifted my leg and kicked his manhood. He groaned in pain as he staggered out of my side. I loved that action Seeing him that way gave me an exact joy. He cursed me, calling me a rude bitch and a good for nothing idiot. He says that hes going to kill me and my mom if I tell the police and from his expression, he is not kidding. ******* I sigh in relief the moment I jot thest word on the answer sheet. Im officially done with college. I ce the pen on top of the sheet then look around the room. Everyone is scribbling furiously. Thats basically the nature of final exams; everyone wants to give their all. I nce at Diana and shes beaming at me. I give her a tiny grin just as the bell goes and the professor res at the students who are still writing. Time is up. I walk down the row and hand in my answer sheet before I stalk out of the room. Diana catches up with me outside the hall.Can you believe it? We are so done with college! She yells then pulls me into a bone breaking hug. Arent you excited? She asks while furrowing her brows and I shrug. I am. I just have a different way of showing excitement. She lifts her eyebrows. And which is that different way? Pray tell, my pretty different friend. That I will be going he to face my sweet loving mum and a horrible monster who just got a job as a manager at Hudson Chemical technologies She snorted at the sarcasm. That should be great news!! Wow!! The biggestpany in Jersey and my everytime crush is his son Are we going to start talking about your obsession? I ask while cocking my head to one side and she bursts outughing. I my just addicted dear This is not my best friend. Thats my main bitch. I point at a random girl in the crowd but She chants and drags me away from the prying crowd. ***** Im not exactly what youd call an extrovert. Though Im totally outgoing and social, something holds me back. I feel a bit insecure around men and I have outright trust issues. Im fiery as hell and I have very little tolerance to bull crap. I dont date. Id rather hook up casually and go on my way. Nomitments, no harm done. And another thing, Im afraid of darkness. Totally, absolutely scared. You can never tell who is lurking in the dark; can you now? And yeah, I hate it when the nightmares of my stepfather taking my virginity forcibly haunt me at night. When I remember the horrible times his friends have their way with me after paying a huge bulk. I totally hate them, but what can a woman do? My Mum is in looooove. Diana, my best friend, however steals the show anytime we are together. She is a total freak and her mouth is sharper than a razor. Whereas I prefer getting all talkative and sassy in private, she talks whatever shit she wants to wherever she wants, whenever she feels like. We are not what youd call party animals, but we let ourselves loose on particr asions. Tonight is one of them. We are done with school. Were going to rock and roll. Chapter 2 Car accident CHAPTER TWO Hudson Chemical technologies. Webb POV I stared at the celebrity magazine for a long time and lost in my thoughts. Fanuel Hurdson, The only son and heir to Hudson Chemicals. He could pass for a model, he was annoyingly cute and he seemed arrogant, aaargh!! I hate him already. Nothing should make hime to Jersey City yet, at least not yet. Not when Im beginning to harness all the goodies and wealth in disguise of being a manager. If heaven was apany then it should be Hudson chemicals. Ive achieved a lot from this position and Im never going to back down. Mr Hurdsons trust towards me and the affairs of hispany is a sweet wine to savor into. I cant believe I own a car and a Duplex in Chicago. Life is good, Im living my very best but something keeps tugging in my heart as I remember something. That bitchy Christine ising back and something tells me she will be really feisty this time around. Shes done with college and Im expecting a new bit of her. Im going to make a surprise wee party for her. Im doing that to win the trust of her mum, my dear wife and she will have no option than to sumb to her mum. How perfect. My secretary came over and submitted a report forst weeks meeting. She was dazzling in her milky white jumpsuit with her stilettos all making cranky sounds with every step she made. Good morning sir, Oak Bay mining investors are here. They wish to see you to discuss the sorted project yet. Two weeks sir? I doubt they will leave. This project has been pending sincest month, the least we could do is to show them how far weve progressed with it. Celine!!! Tell them toe in two weeks time and stop bbering! Leave my office, I have other important thiings to attend. Celine bowed and left the office. I heaved a sigh of relief and I pondered hard on what to do next. Maybe Ill just have to wait for the next investors, then I can use that to my advantage and im it to be their own project. Problem solved shouldnt be this hard. All I should think of now is how to get home and prepare a stupid silly party. ***** Christine, Promise me that you wont drool over him Diana shrieked and asked. She kept talking about her celebrity CEO who is yet to return to Jersey City and insisted that I take a nce at him. I rolled my eyes at her and replied to her silly question. I promise. I said and she stood dramatically opening the magazine before me . tadaaaa!!. She pped her hands as if some important event was taking ce and Iughed. I cant believe this crap you wanted to show me, holy grail!! Diana Get a hold of yourself. She sighed and jumped back on the bed. What did they breed you? Youre so blind to see how cute he is, I just wished he woulde back. Really, does he know whether you exist? He doesnt need to know, hes far better off than Hart. Iughed out, Hart was a celebrity singer Diana stumbled upon and confessed her undying love for him. Yeah, he was her biggest fan but he ignored her like someone didnt say a word. She was broken. She disliked him so much that she became his enemy instead of her favorite. Youre still hut huh? Take heart dearie, maybe you were too short for him to hear your words of passion. Stop it Christine she yelled. Now Fanuel wasnt handsome as she described earlier, He was hot! Hot as in pepper, Perfect chisels jaws and the sexiest smile that could make you squirt. Studied chemical engineering in Canada and a fashion magazine model. Is he single? I find myself askingmistakenly. Omg!!! Youre drooling over him! Christine you promised! Silly girl, just get out okay Youre even asking if hes single, No way girl!! How can someone this hot be single? I cant believe you would ask that. Oh! I thought as much, so who is this unlucky Fiancee. Its me bitch she screamed at me. You dont need to be so excited about a dream that will never be a reality, stop wasting your strength. I hate you Christine. I love you Diana. We bothughed at our stupidity and headed home.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. We both went to my ce first and I must confess a lot has changed. A new model Toyota Camry was screaming beauty under the rays of the hot sun, and the exterior building of our home was like the white house. Wow!! I Guess Webb Is doing a good job to please mum. I entered and what greeted me threw me off guard. A wee surprise party with decorated balloons strings on each end of the walls. Light color bulbs were hanging beneath the fancy ribbons and sweet Candies were disyed around the beautiful chocte cake. My mouth watered instantly. I felt awed, I cant believe mum would go the extra mile to make me feel this weed. I rushed to her and engulfed myself in her embrace. Thank you Mum, this is beautiful I told her and she smiled. Youre wee sweetheart, guess what? Easton Is here!! Really!! You dont mean it Of course I do. Thats great, let me check up on him then There will be no need for that, just get in and thank your Dad. She said and my countenance changed immediately. Diana pecked Mum on the cheeks and went to the kitchen to get knives to cut the cake iming its her job and duty. Thank Webb for what? He did all these hun, the least you can say is thank you dad Mum said pleadingly and I almost snort at her naiveness. I want to scream never and walk away, I want to shout in her eardrum that Webb isnt the guy for her, I want to smack her head so bad for falling for a devil who ripped her virginity and repeatedly lure other men to have their share. I feel a lump in my throat, I want to cry but I shouldnt ruin today, Easton is back and I shouldnt let him see me that way. I wonder why hes not as monstrous as his dad, I wonder why hes nice, why he cares and looks after me so much. I just wonder why. I smiled at mum and agreed. Fine mum, I will go over and thank. D.. a.. d i disappeared from her sight the moment I drew those forbidden words. He was there, sitting in his wickedness and looking for his next prey to devour. I started without permission and ended without permission. Dear wicked dad, thank you for destroying my Life. Thank you for covering a dark veil in mums face as you hit her daughter behind her back, thank you for inviting those chipmunks you call friends for having my flesh to satisfy their carnal desires.. I sniffed and let the tears roll freely. T.. thank you for ruining my life and making a surprise party to celebrate your demonic mission Someone gasped from behind and I felt my heart flew, I almost peed on my body. Lord! Who could it be? I slowly turned my head to meet him, I could see the horrified look on his face, No he was indescribable. Easton I gasped. He stared at me and stared back at his father. I came to tell you that your boss, CEO of Hudsonpany was involved in a ghastly car ident. Chapter 3 The deal was signed CHAPTER THREE Authors POV. The Press crew rushed towards Fanuel Hudson the moment he stepped down from the private Jet in Jerseys Specialist Hospital. His fathers ident came as a bomb to him that he left Canada for New Jersey City with immediate effect. What happened? His dad always has the best convoy and well trained drivers, how he had an ident drives him crazy in confusion. Mr Fanuel, how did you feel when you heard the news? Do you think this happened naturally? What will happen if he eventually dies? The BBCs crew kept bombarding him with numerous questions and poking different categories of microphones and chips in his delicate mouth. His bodyguards walked briskly to the crew and disrupt their noisy gathering paving way for Fanuel to enter the hospital. Get those filthy presses out of this premises, this is a serene ce that needs nothing but peace. He told them and they all bowed and left to fulfill his wish. He met his family and friend all restless and panicky as if a symposia fear and empathy was conducted. His Mum saw him and broke into a soft cry. He engulfed her in a warm hug and assured her that everything will be fine. Your dad will be taken to the theater soon. Was it that serious? Fanuel gasped. Medical Experts said that the brakes were tampered with and since he happened to be at the drivers without a seatbelt he ended up being badly injured. Thats bad Mum, can I see him? Hes in a very bad condition but the Doctor said he had been requesting to see you before being taken to the theater, I think you should go over and see him Jayden told him and he left without wasting a second. He saw his dad in a very exquisite ward with different drips connecting through his body and a life support. Tears welled his eyes as he sighted the doctor and stood by him. He was badly injured and it led to a concussion, Injury of the head and a brain contusion. He had a jolt that made his brain collide with the inside of his skull. He needs to be operated on to remove the blood clot in his head or it might lead to his untimely death. The doctor said and he bit his soft delicate lips in fear. You can do something right? Something can be done to avoid that? He shakily asked the doctor who adjusted the rim of his spectacles. We will try our best Mr Fanuel. He saw his fathers hands moving, more like a signal toe closer. Dad, you need to fight this okay? Mum still needs you, we still want you so dont you dare give up! Tttake pany, take over thepany, Mr Webb will show *coughs* will show you the vital documents. Dad? I might not survive this. Dont you dare say such a despicable thing! You will survive. Im sorry Fanuel, he needs to be taken to the theater The doctor signaled the nurses to wheel him out of the ward. Fanuel heaved a sigh of depression and confusion. He wasnt expecting this sudden gamble that life was ying at him. He hoped and prayed for the best. ******** The Hudsons Mansion. The clicking sound of cutlery could be heard in the dining room. A sumptuous meal of pasta and Nashville hot chicken was served as they ate quietly until his mum broke the silence. You will be resuming as the CEO of Hudson chemical technologies, Congrattions sweetheart. His mum told him and he snorted. Thats no big deal mum, stop sounding as if I won a jackpot. Its a new challenge in your business and academic life, so its a big deal. Your dad is going to retire and you will take over thepanys name all over the world. He smiled at his mum sarcastically and focused on his meal. He had ns, you know, he wasnt prepared to carry the mantle of being a CEO in his dads business, he now understands the reason why he was persuaded to study chemical engineering. Theres been a little virus eating up thepany funds without proper records and bnce sheets. Oak Bay miningpany has gone to court to file a suingint about thepany. What? Fanuel gasped at Jaydens words. Yeah, Celine told me that the few times I visited there that a 3 billion project was invested by Oak Bay miners in coboration with thepany, two containers of oil were also invested to carry out a chemical process that might serve as a domestic use to homes andpanies. Whos Celine he asked His secretary. Thats absurd, whats the manager of the Hudson chemicals doing? Mum asked, petrified. Dragging thepanys name to the court its a very bad thing to start with, it will soil our brands name. Fanuel thought. Hmmn, it could only represent one thing. Theres a money squandering there or they are yet to implement the project. For how long Fanuel? This deal was signed two months ago. We need to find out something, Jayden came over. He stood up from his chair and signaled his brother. At Least finish your meal, will you? His mum wears a worried frown but he pecked her and they left the house. **** Arent you supposed to visit your boss in the hospital? Gracia told her husband whose eyes were fixated on the TVs screen. Webb only nodded negatively and stared nkly at the screen. Mr Hurdson was diagnosed with concussion and brain contusion and his son just arrived from Canada which could only mean one thing, Hes taking over his dadspany. How painful!! Why does he have to have an ident now, Damn! Easton had eavesdropped on Christines terrible words even though he stylishly denied hearing a thing that gasped couldnt be mistaken for a shock. Hes going to Kill Christine if words gets to her mother and if Easton would believe what she said Just that moment, Easton walked in all smiles and brought cookies for Christines mum but his countenance changed towards him totally. His smile faded and if looks could kill, Easton ring eyes would have killed him and sent him to hell. He felt seriously ufortable and got up. Ill take a coffee in the kitchen. He tells his wife who smiled sweetly at him andughed at Eastons dry joke. He ced his hands on the kitchen counter and sigh nervously. Fanuel is back. Easton thinks he raped Christine. No! This is not good. He still need to paint a picture of a perfect dad. He opened the fridge and reached for the Screaming eagle wine, he had gotten it from his bosss office. He poured it in a tumbler and took it all in one gulp. It burns down his throat and tears through his throat like fire. He closed his eyes to savor that feeling. He took a second gulp.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Thirdand fourth. He was feeling giddy as he sighed a knife peacefully standing in the knife stand. Maybe killing her should end all this drama. Yeah she should just die, shes just a waste trying to cause amotion between him and his son. He removed the knife and imagined slitting her throat with it. He smiled sheepishly and headed to her room. Christine must die tonight. Worst nightmare CHAPTER FOUR. Fanuel POV Celine right? I asked the blonde haired secretary who kept blushing at every word that came out of my mouth. Im in Hudson chemicals with Jayden to find out some ripples about thepanys status. Yes sir. Get me the financial records of thest six months as well as the auditors report. I told her and she shifted ufortably. Im sorry sir, the manager is in possession of those files. And wheres he? Hes yet to arrive. I sigh in frustration and ruffled my hands on my hair. Get me the keys to my fathers office asap. I told her but she creased a frown. Mr Webb is in possession of that too. I gritted my teeth in annoyance. Who the heck is Mr Webb? The acting manager of thepany sir, your father actually gave him the authority to possess that. She said and I snorted in response. Authority my ass. I looked at Jayden in confusion who seemed to be lost in thought. There has to be a spare key right? Every office has every spare key just in case of careless hands. Jayden said and Celines eyes snapped open. Exactly sir! The spare keys must be in the store room. Let me inform the security to get it at once. She said and was about to leave. Summon all the board members of Hudsons chemicals also in the boardroom. I need to make a very important announcement and do some research about thepany. I told her and she nodded excitedly. Why is she so happy about a simple word I made ugh!! Whats so special about a simple meeting? Maybe shes already star struck with your beauI mean youre always the attention stealer, always ravishing as always.Jayden says I rolled my eyes so hard. Are you kinda hitting up on me? I ask him. I wish. You dummy, Im not a gay, get someone else to fit in your magical love story. Too bad , youre the only one that I see and the air that I breathe. He says dramatically and I hit him on the head. Stop being sarcastic Jay, we have a very important meeting to attend. At Least its not a war zone. He says and dragged his sarcastic self to the board room. The Board members made me feel slightly intimidated, Like what is it with elderly powerful men dressed in suits and staring at me like a high school kid that wants to address elders. There were few young people though, thedies were staring at him like an ice-cream they desperately wanted to lick. Or should somebody exin all these extraordinary smiles with lips biting? I cleared my throat and went straight to the point, I had a lot to do and beating about the bush wont help. Good day Ladies and gentlemen, Im Fanuel Hurdson the eldest son to the CEO Hudson chemical technologies which is currently in a stable health condition. I will be taking over his ce as the new CEO, so I would like us to introduce ourselves and discuss the Crack wall at hand concerning thepany. I said and sat down. The introduction was very brief and I never failed to take notice of the HR(Head of resources), The ountant, Head of department and the Chemical engineer. So what project has beenpleted so far. I asked the ountant who stood up with a very elegant poise and professionalism. His sky blue suit hugged tightly to him like his second skin. Thepleted project so far was the National Petroleum agency in Houston city signed by your father for the dilution and filtration of unwanted oils and chemicals in their depot. The second one took ce at the White prison in East America. The deputy head of the FBI department had required strong paint chemicals to be used in every door of the inmates to avoid immediate rusting. That was the two longest projects done In thest Six months. He said and looked at me for more questions. So how much was budgeted in the projects? About 30 trillion dors. Okay, the project you mentioned rified my fathers dealings with the National Petroleum Agency and the White prison. How about other projects carried out without his interference. That should be the ones handled by Mr Webb. The first two projects and contract was with King Royals academy in Korea and New Jersey Specialist Hospital. Specialist hospital?Content ? N?velDrama.Org. Yes sir, they needed a lot of various chemicals to be used in theboratory. I cant recall the names of the chemicals right now, but Im sure to send you a report of the required chemical that cost 100 billion dors. The founder of King Royals signed a contract with thepany about the urgency of chemical engineers to fix their light generating nt used in the academy. hmmnso how far have we gone in that? I asked him and was impressed at how thepany was going ces and signing contracts and projects. We havent done anything yet sir. My eyes snapped open. What?! Sir the money which was supposed to be used in implementing the project was sealed and stamped by the manager not to be withdrawn yet for any of the project. Why would he say that? Jayden now asked. I truly cant tell. And what does the Head of the chemical department have to say about this? I turned and faced the Man who should be in his fifties or so, dressed in a light gray suit and transparent spectacles of dark frame hung restly on his semi wrinkled face. He had a delicate reason for doing that. Thest time I confronted him about it, he said he was making adequate provisions for the project and 100% solid research for every chemical to be used In the hospital and in the academy. I scoff loudly. For how long? That shouldnt give him a warrant of pending down international projects, still on this pending issue has moved Oak Bay mining investors to sue thispany to court. Jayden added and Everyone turned to look at him nodding their heads in agreement. Head of the Mining department, what do you have to say about this? I asked the beautiful petitedy who was listening to every word with rapt attention. With all due respect sir, I think the Manager has everything to do with this. The Oak Bay contract fee wasnt paid into thepanys ount, Mr Karl can attest to that She faced the ountant who nodded his head affirmatively. He made mention of a jointpany ount he created with the international mary fund to enable thepany to have arge interest rate with any money Invested in there, he had proof and his secretary imed to have been there in the bank with him. What joint bullshit is that? I say now panicking. International mary fund is an Institution for banks for long term loan or short term loan. Their eyes went wide and they stared at each other. Thest time the Oak Bay miners were here he asked them toe back in two weeks after waiting for them for a month plus. I requested to see him concerning the issue but he kept giving flimsy excuses so I had no choice but to apply for thepletion of the Oak Bay project. I bang my first on the table angrily, Im panicking with fear of the uncertain and I hope it shouldnt be what Im thinking. How can you people be so daft as to let someone control every means of finances? I yelled. He was the Acting manager of thepany after your dad, the authority he possessed was superior and we felt he was doing the right thing. The ountant said and I almost gave him a smack for saying such. And you couldnt ask questions, you inform the CEO that something isnt right!! Youre the one thats supposed to be in control of thepanys ount, not him!! I cant believe he possesses all the files!! I calmed my breaths and calmly asked Celine for the spare keys to his office and my dads, I hope I shouldnt discover my worst nightmare. Chapter 5 Who鈥檚 she? CHAPTER FIVE. Authors Pov. He stuffed his white feathery coat into the ck leather bag, grabbed a few shirts and pants and squeezed them inside. He would need some boots and a head warmer there so he had better carry them. His palms are all greasy and sweaty with cold blood flowing non-stop. He ced a call to the aircraft services reminding them of his scheduled flight and they told him assuringly that it wont be upied by someone else. Fanuel will surely get hold of him and trace him to his death if he doesnt get out of this ce. He couldnt risk that, no fucking way would he sit and let a great chaos fall upon him out of ignorance. The finances he squandered was way too much and hes gotten a hold of thepanys ount worth trillions of dors. He tried thousands of ways of dispersing the money to his various personal ounts but it was useless. The financial security of the bank status wasnt underrated. Thank goodness he was able to open a separate ount in the guise of having apanys ount with the IMF. Hes got a lot more and alot to spare. He carried his Apple PC and ced it neatly in the Laptops bag. He overheard Christine and Eastonsughter in the background and he cursed himself for not killing herst night. Her loud rowdy friend was right there on the bed with her, hands and legs wrapped against each other. tch!! He sighed regretfully and fetched a creamy T shirt and a ck zer to match with his penciled ck trousers. He took a ck canvas and wore it on checking out his panicky self in the mirror, he sighed in satisfaction. Theres only one problem at hand and its how he will get away from here without the attention of any other person in the house. The doorbell rang, and Webb could feel his whole heart sink to the insides of his stomach. He just hopes whoever s at the door shouldnt be looking for him. That same moment, a knock was heard on his door. Shit!! Who could it be? Grace was out already for work and he wasnt expecting anybody. Dad?? Thats Eastons voice. Dad, you have a visitor by the door! He yelled No way was he going to answer such a visitor. He stared at the window of his room and went closer to it. Maybe he should just pass his window and jump down. It was 15ft high so it shouldnt be that bad. He strapped his bag at his back and took his heavy ck leather bag ready to throw it down when his sons voice startled him again. Daaaad!! He banged the door harder and yelled. Should I tell the delivery guy to go ore backter? Easton said and he released a very terrific sigh. He had ordered for a shawl and a dark shade to use while travelling so he wont be spotted easily on CCTVs incase they were to carry out an investigation. Iming over. He finally said and went over to collect the order and signed. That should be all for now, he thought as he called Easton and told him something important. ********* Fanuel Pov. Were standing in front of Mr Webb residence as we admire the simple but aesthetic decor and flowers sprinkled around the ssy bungalow. Its so serene and quiet here that I wonder if anyone actually lives here. I dragged the doorbell and it gave a sting sound to indicate someone was here but there was no response. Jayden was lost in call with Edward who had called earlier to ask about me, tch!! More like to disturb me cause Edward is never serious with anything. I told Jayden to answer the call and tell him that Im in the midst of some crooked shit. I dragged the doorbell again and a very cute guy opened and poked Head out. Are you another delivery guy? Ugh!! Dad just went out,e backter. He said and was about shutting the door but I blocked it with my legs. Im not a delivery guy, Im looking for Mr Webb Hart. uhhmmwho are you?Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. A worker in Hudson chemical technologies. Oh!! Youre his worker. Sorry but Mr Webb isnt around. Do you have any idea where he went? I asked curiously. Not really, he said he was going to see a friend and would be back in the evening. He said innocently and I folded my hands in anger. Tell him toe to the office at once. I snapped. He kept quiet and stared at me in wonder, giving me the who the hell are you kind-of face. I mean he needs to be at the office by evening or we mighte backter in the evening. I told him and he nodded. We left the premises and went straight back to the office. Ive been working all day long and my head bangs and pleads for mercy to be freed. But what I saw in the office is nothingpared to the headache Im feeling. There was no file record of any project being signed by him. I went back to the office again and sat down on the chairying my hands on the arm rest and thinking really deep. Hudson chemical technologies will definitely go bankrupt if thepanys ount isnt retrieved. The ount is inessible and it could only mean that the manager Mr Webb is in full control and possession of the ount, how smart is this man! Ourpany will close down once the investors start noticing that we might never carry out the project they paid for with their hard earned money. They will sell the properties here in thispany to retrieve their money. What the actual fuck Fanuel!! Jay shouted at the paper he was holding and I rushed towards him. Whats it? Take a look at this, a house construction worth 500 million dors taking ce in Chicago. I stared at the paper. Thats really expensive bro. Are you kidding me? Check out the signature below and tell me why such a document will be in his office. I checked for the signature below and I was thrown off guard, signature by Webb Mart. Wait, could this be a personal house hes constructing? Where did you see this? Right here in his safe, I guess he forgot to lock it he said pointing down at the key dangling freely and stuck in the lock. Without much ado, I sat down mannerless and removed every damn file in there. NO WAY!! NO FUCKING WAY!! This Webb guy has finished us. Damn it!! I rushed out like a manic and went straight to the car with Jayden running over, with the fastest speed ever I drove out of herpany. ****** I banged the door furiously with intense pain and anger cursing through my body. The door flew open and I barged in without warning screaming his name. I could hear sirens from different angles and I was sure it was Jaydens handwork, he had contacted the authorities. Hes not around!! Who the heck are you and why are you causing a nuisance. A woman I presume to be the cute guys Mum yelled at me. Im the fucking CEO of Hurdson chemicals and your dear husband stole a whole of money away from me!! Tell him toe out now!! I was breathing fire and I could see my saliva as a fireball ready to burn anything. I must go home with him or burn down his whole house. There must be a coteral if he isnt found. The FBI officials went inside to search everywhere but they came out without him. Hes not the boss but we found something. What? Some documents and receipts. Are you crazy!! What do I need them forThat dude ran away with trillions!!! The whole family gasped in horror and something grabbed my attention. A young girl in a ry gown and the most beautiful hazel eyes Ive ever seen. Fanuel, I think the guy fled. We need to search for him at bus stations, train stations, airports and anywhere!! Hes the only way to retrieve the ount hes holding into. I ignored Jaydens statement and asked Him a question. Whos she? I pointed harshly at the girl who flinched. What Jayden said next made me grin wickedly. Thats his only daughter. Chapter 6 Heartless Ceo CHAPTER SIX. CHRISTINE POV. The hardest thing in life is pretending to be okay when you are literally dying inside. Life was really cruel to me ever since dad died , I was more like walking on thorns of Fire, while people think I was actually leaving the very best life with having the sweetest father ever.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. Till today I regretted why mum got married again, I wish she never married like.. it gives me chills when I look at the so-called father I have had his way around times without number causing horrible nightmares all the days of my life. I might appear too strong physically but Im as weak as a dove that needs shelter. I could remember one of the horrible times that he lured me out into going to a shopping mall to get some items for the house. He drove past the shopping mall and went further and further into the strangest ces Ive ever hade in contact with. Dad, we just passed the mall right now where we are going to?I asked curiously as he kept driving without giving me a definite answer. Were going to have some fun so brace yourself dont worry you will love every bit of it he said and i rxed back. Well he pulled over at a very strange ce I observed to be a brothel, we both stepped out of the car and shock washed all over my face. Dad, what the hell are we doing in such an unholy ce? He ignored me and pulled my hand into the deadliest ce I never thought I set my foot on. The whole ce was reeking of alcohol as sinful bodies pped against each other rocking in every dimension, dark pop light and colourful lights flickered everywhere I was dazed. Dad kept pulling my hand until we reached the midst of people I observed to be his friends. They seemed acquainted together as they both exchanged pleasantries and asked about me smacking their lips lustfully as if waiting for the next prey. Oh Webb! you shouldnt even be talking about how shes hot why didnt you tell us of this hot chic earlier. One of them said, I feel my heart beating in calcted rates of uncertainty, what the hell were they talking about me being hot and then waiting for me for such a long time. Dad, please , whats going on? Why am I here? Why did you bring me here? I asked, panicking. Shut the fuck up! Im not your dad he snapped. I could see them exchanging something I couldnt see clearly but my eyes told me it has to do with money, the next minute threw me off guard as I never knew what happened. It seems I got intoxicated with something that affected every part of my body. I woke up to find myself being tied on both legs with both hands. He is in a semi dark room. No fucking way!! What the hell am I doing here? I wriggled and struggled to set myself free but it was all useless and worthless. Dad actually sold me out to these people for me to be their sex ve, how can life be more fascinating to me. Not even one or two or three, Five able-bodied men had their way with me groaning and grunting in pleasure while I died in my pool of pain that rips apart my soul. He threatened heavily never to mention the word tomorrow or he will definitely kill me which I believe so. Apart from the incident that happened in school, there was the monster who deliberately and asionally had his way with me. I guess my life will be more horrible than trash if mum wasnt financially stable or at least manageable, not that shes really ok, cause she ims to give all the glory and credits to Webb. I know how many times Wa you know how many times haveined to learn I know how many times mum says to take Courtney has the bad one has a bad haircut doesnt want to happiness, I was more living in hell even for a student who seems to be around and save my ass most times maybe I could have been dead cause Ive thought of many options of fleeing the house. My life is useless and I was damn tired of this whole bull shit. I couldnt sleep at night I was suffering from insomnia because of the incidents that happens to me it keeps haunting me forever Ill try my best to sleep what it was worthless mum is so in love so who am I to put asunder in how wonderful love story that is shredding a daughters life into pieces. Are we not even going to talk about when Mum travelled hell no I saw the worst of the worstest. Even though theres not much house chores to do , the web made me do all of it repeatedly and unnecessarily. I always wonder what kind of Monster he is to always bash me. I fear for my mum greatly but he seems to treat her nice. I was walking in a shell of pain. I prayed hard to God for me to finish college so I can rent an apartment and get the hell out of this shit hole. Because of Webb I studiedw even if its going to take me forever we must find his ass and lock him up In the four walls of prison. Looking at the Old drama unfolding before my very eyes, its tearing the whole of my soul into pieces. The CEO of Hudson chemical technologies raging Empire and using or should I say seeing as its really possible what webb can do. He stole millions of naira and fled. I cant believe Im standing before this man I just saw in the magazine Diana had shown me. How can someone be this cute? When did God start dropping angels on Earth? He looks even sexier when hes angry there, good lord. I cant believe Im admiring and checking him out when a very hot burning matter is at stake and whats making him freaking out is the intense stare hes giving to me. Mum is already shaking and vibrating intensely as she kept denying the fact that Webb cannot do such a thing that hes definitely going toe back meanwhile his belongings were missing. I think he went out somewhere please lets not rush into making a drastic decision hes going to be here anytime soon. Mum pleaded. It seems you dont understand the gravity of what your husband did, Hudson chemical technology is at stake and youre sitting here to tell me to wait for him, really! Im going to burn down the building, the car and everything that has to do with him and find him also if he fails toe this minute. She yelled at mum who flinched at his voice. She seemed really angry and heartless and could kill This moment. Take her He told the security men and pointed at me in the process. Mum gave a very loud cry and fell on the floor and pleaded for him not to do so that he will definitelye back. Heartless CEO Fell on deaf ears to what my mum said. I panicked in fear and I started screaming for help , silly me. There was nothing I or anyone could do at the moment and if I dont agree with the things Im afraid they might hurt mum or Easton. When your husbandes back its either he pays the money or his daughter will be paying the price. Shes with me till he sorts out the mess he has put Hudson chemicals into. And in the next few days, If he refuses to reveal himself your son will be the next. Chapter 7 Hostage CHAPTER SEVEN. Hudson chemical technologies was literally on fire as every investor came around to demand their own pound of flesh, it was more like a battlefield for Manuel as he kept wishing and hoping for them not to let the bad news reach the hospital. The press crew was in a frenzy and they kept trooping in thepany with different questions bombarding him with different puzzles that could never be sorted out. Manuel was very angry and confused as he sent words to all the transport agencies in New Jersey, America. He wants to see that the news gets to every official thats in the railways, train stations of every kind to track the time Mr Webb traveled out. He spoke to the team members of Hudson chemical technologies for review and the solution to tackle this problem with immediate effects. Jayden was not left out as he kept running around and helter-skelter to fix the problem of damage to work. Manuel had never faced a n to encounter such a challenge in his entire business life. Something has to be done at all means. He couldnt afford to let anyone think Hudson chemical technologies will go bankrupt or stand before the court. Manuel, no matter how you feel and spit balls of Fire, theres nothing we can do at this moment other than to calm down and find a solution to this. His friend Edward said and he gritted his teeth in frustration. He couldnt even find anything tangible to serve as a coteral. Capturing Mr Webbs only daughter wouldnt make any difference. She is as good as worthless, nothing will bepared even if a triple of her was sold to regain what her selfish father stole from thepany. Why dont you collect a loan? Maybe its possible they might give us a loan while we fix the contract and project with other investors. Jayden suggested why Manuel thought about that as a perfect suggestion to begin with. But what if the banks arent willing to loan them money because of the recent chaos caused by the investors? He asked them aloud. Hes going to find Mr Webb by all means if not his daughter will face the worst living nightmare she has ever encountered in her entire life. The wholepany of Hudson chemicals was as busy as a bee as they kept signing files upon all files, making calls upon calls, making research upon receipts, applying for loans in every way they could, digging out all they could. At Least lets all go get a drink to calm our heads down, all of these will only make us go crazy. Edward told his friend and Manuel scoffed. Really, drink? Of course, a shot of vodka or something. Get out of my office Edward. Hey chill, your blood is too hot, I just need you to have fun a bit. If you die now another dude will take your ce. Exactly, thats why I want you to die first by getting the fuck outta my office!! Manuel yelled. You look sexy when you yell, do that more often aaargh!! Edward, who are you? Your sweetheart friend. Ok fine, end of friendship. Get out. Ouch! There has to be a certificate for signing, you know? Chill bro, Edward is just trying to distract you. Jaydenughed at how frustrated his brothers face looks. And I dont want that, I want to be focused!! Thats why Im here. Edward said. Whats the colour of your problem Ed? You In my next life, if I hear anyone thats named Edward again, Ill run. You can start now by picking up your damn phone thats sounding like bombs to my ear!!! Edward shouted at him. His phone has been vibrating but he was too absent-minded and lost in hisptop to notice. He picked up his phone and answered the call. Yes Cole, whats the issue? Whattt??! What do you mean by that? Are you all crazy? Were you sleeping on duty? Now I dont give a fuck about this bull shit you just spewed, how you make her escaped through, thats none of my business. What I know is that by the time Ie back, I want to see her!!! He hung up the call in anger and almost smashed the phone but he bitterly suppressed it cause he knew he needed the device for other vital information. What happened? Jayden and Edward asked at once. He sighs restlessly as he answers. Mr Webbs daughter is nowhere to be found. *********** Dianas POV. The water I held slipped from my hands and shattered mercilessly on the almond tiles. I stared at the screen again in shock to be sure Im not hallucinating. CEO SON, MANUEL HUDSON KIDNAPS MANAGERS DAUGHTER OVER ALLEGED FUND EMBEZZLEMENT. I read that right didnt I? No way this is happening, Im looking at the screen with Christine being dragged into BMW ck Jeep and locked inside. Oh dear Christine, look what your father has gotten you into. I need to see her, I badly need to see her. I rushed inside like a maniac and opened my wardrobe, I caught a glimpse of my Barbie pink top with strapless hands, I grabbed it and wore it on and looked for baggy jeans to wear beneath. I cant believe that Im all panicky and sweaty in this cold. I grabbed my head warmer and flew from the house before Mum noticed me. Im going to Christines house, let me confirm things there myself before diving in my own imagination or what I saw. ******* Her eyes were swollen from too much tears, she sat there numb that she didnt even notice when I entered. Just there, staring at nothing at all. Mum? I called but she didnt notice that there was a human beside her. Yeah! I call her Mum the same way Christine calls mine. I tapped her and she jerked up at once. Oh Diana She sniffed as tears rolled down her cheeks. She isnt here, they took her. They took my baby away. She bursted out in fresh tears. I could only pat her by the shoulder as I was lost in thought.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. Why would Mr Webb do such a thing and implicate his family? The man was already a devils incarnate but doing this was least expected by him, now Christine is in a mess, His wife is not only weeping for her daughter but for the shock that he actually ran away with a huge sum leaving her alone with ns of not evening back. Nah!! Thats wicked. Wheres Easton? I asked her. He left, he left in anger and I dont know where exactly he went to, I truly dont dear. She cried more. Its okay mum, it will be fine. Well look for a way to sort it out, the police are making necessary information about Mr Webbs whereabouts. They will release Christine soon. I tell even though I didnt know what I was saying. I was worried as fuck and hopeless. A whole CEO of Hudson chemicals, keeping you hostage!!! Is there hope? Aaargh!! How I wish I was the one he took away, I wouldnt havee back again. I would have stayed there forever with him, looking at his angelic face all day long. Let me get you coffee. I told Mrs Grace and stood up and headed to the kitchen. The loud bang I heard outside sent chills out of my body. Heavy footsteps were approaching and before I could get a glimpse of whats going on.. They barged in. Chapter 8 I ran. CHAPTER EIGHT. Dianas POV. Three Hefty men barged in without warning and took turns in searching around as if they actually own the ce. The audacity!! Wheres she? The tallest of them asked. Wheres who? I asked back trying to act bitchy but the re they sent back at made me return to being cool. Mr Webbs daughter. He said and Christines Mum jerked up. What do you mean by that? Didnt you all scurried my girl away with your heartless Boss some moments ago? Why are you now asking such a ridiculous question? She now stood up. Where did you keep her? Answer me. Mrs Graces eyes welled up with tears as she asked for her daughters whereabouts. The guys seemed confused as well but they kept acting tough. Dont try to y smart maam, Your daughter kind of escaped while we were trying to get into the mansion with the gate being opened. We are definitely sure that shes nowhere but here. And youre very proud to stand before me to spew such nonsense, you let a weak vulnerable girl beat you over to escape from a car full of hefty idiots. Mind your words maam we thought she was intoxicated and she slept only for her twitched the eyeballs on one of my men and runoff from the car How interesting, well my daughter isnt here and God tell you that my daughter shouldnt be found, you will know what it means to dance to the tunes of thew. Mrs Grace said and the men were really confused as they searched everywhere and Christine wasnt anywhere around the house. They were about to leave when I said something. Let me follow you. I told them and Mrs Grace gasped. Are you crazy, Diana? No Mum. If Christine is missing, I need to follow them to ensure that shes found and shes safe. If she isnt found, then we need to report to the authorities to let them know their next line of action. I will be so restless now that Christine is nowhere to be found. I say and she seems convinced. The men too had no choice especially for the fact they pronounced her missing with their mouth.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. Mrs Grace thanked me so much and warned me seriously to return back home and let her know everything about her daughter. She was far from worried as she was slowly getting into depression. An incident of less than 24 hours has sunk deep into her that shes bing a shadow of herself. I left with the men and we were set to look for Christine. My goal isnt entirely to look for Christine, my goal was for them not to find Christine yet so I could have ess into the Hudson mansion, and then have an opportunity to see the man of my dreams. Thoughts of that alone gives me goosebumps and chills all over my spines, Fanuel was more than an angelic beauty that could swoon anyone over his or her feet. He was a man both for the guys and thedies. For once in my life I wish my dad was a manager of Hudson chemical technology, I wish he was the one that stole and embezzled thepanys funds, then I get a chance to be kidnapped and to live with him. ******* Christines Pov I was tired of running, like whats the point of running away from the foundation of your problems. No matter how I hide Ill definitely be fished out or my loved ones will pay for it. Thanks to having a fiasco as a dad. The mansion I saw with my eyes while fleeing was the greatest Ive ever encountered and set my eyes upon. No, it was heaven, but the thoughts and possibilities of what I might face there clouded my whole being. The so-called men were asleep as they thought I was asleep too. The moment the carslowed down for the automatic gates to slide open, I quietly opened the door with force and luckily for me it was open. Before anyone could say jack, I rolled on their body andnded out of the car. And dear Lord I ran. I ran with these strange super powers I never knew existed within me. It was an exquisite estate all owned by the Hurdsons. Theres no way I could ever escape without getting caught. Thankfully for the short walled fences, I jumped on it andnded myself still in Hurdsons vicinity. It was the power nt streets, where all electrical appliances were connected to a source. Each house contains a power voltage connecting one or two appliances in the Estate. This was useless. It was useless running from them, how could I even think of that? Even if I finally escaped from this den, what about Mum and Easton? They will surely suffer under the hands of Fanuel Hudson. I should rather ept this and pray for the best toe out of this. Im already a wood for the woodpecker and nothing can change that. Im tired of crying, no way!! Im done wasting my tear river. This was the harsh reality I was faced with, its either I keep crying or I make the best memories and create happiness out of it. Im going back to the mansion. ****** The gate slid automatically and I watched in glee and wonder. I walked in and took my time to survey the beauty of art in this wonderful exterior part of the mansion. It was so colourful. The waterfall was a beauty to behold as white birds flew around it, while some sat to drink the water. Flowers were beautifully engraved and crafted in the middle. It was huge! Yellow, red and royal blue, glittered under the sun. THE HUDSONS. Yeah! It was engraved that way and I was amazed. One couldnt look up at the house cause it could blur your vision, it was sparkles of glitters as the sun reflected the golden decor of The Hudson written boldly at the top. The mansion was pure white and not even a stain was detected. It was more like a stone. I looked around and I was swayed with greatness, how did one achieve all these? It screams ss!! Wealth!! I dont even belong here, poor me! A part of me was lucky to view this world ss mansion. I wish Diana was here, we would have screamed in sheer shock and taken thousands of pictures to unt on our Instagram story and page. Thinking about Diana made my heart crack, I will surely miss her. Gosh!! How did this even happen? I stepped into the house and I could see myself reflected on the ground. This one is purely made with a mirror, Diamond tiles with golden lines by the edge. I was still admiring the beauty of the house when I heard a loud voice that brought me out of my reverie. THATS HER!! SHES HERE BOSS. Some men rushed to me like some pack of sugar or as if I will dissapear any moment. I sigh deeply cause I know that Im in for it. The guy that was seated beside me earlier in the car, carried me with force and in the twinkling of an eye I was dropped before the most gorgeous pair of icy blue eyes. He was zing hot with his red Calvin Klein T shirt and a ck Nike sweatpants. Ive seen canvas all my life but this one was the ssiest of all, a white Adidas white canvas. I raised my eyes to look at this prince charming face but a loud heavy p was crashed on my face. I seethed in pain as I tasted blood. How dare you!! He thundered in the most sexy voice Ive ever heard. Damn! Hes harsh. Its no denial that it runs in your blood, you think you can run from me the same way your dad fled, huh?!! He raised his hands to hit me again as I closed my eyes in anticipation for the next st. Thats enough Fanuel, shes just a young girl. I wished I had opened my eyes to see my defender. His voice was calm. Oh please Jayden, spare me that bullshit and dont even start with the lectures. He did say dismissively and was about to say something when noisy footsteps distracted us all from the entrance of their living room and we all turned our gaze. Three hefty men wereing towards our direction with a young girl. What made me gasp in surprise was the girl. Thats my friend, Diana. Chapter 9 You can鈥檛 be our next Ceo CHAPTER NINE. Diana. What the hell is she doing here? She was shocked to see me as well but I could clearly see that her eyes were fixed on Fanuel Hudson. She couldnt even pretend to hide her awe, she was more like ripping him off with her eyes. Eww! I feel so ashamed right now. And whos she? Fanuels harsh voice surprised her. Yeah baby girl, your crush is a demon! I say inwardly. We are so sorry boss, we actually went to her house to look for her but she wasnt there, her friend insisted on following us to confirm her whereabouts and her mum agreed to that. One of the men said. Ive never seen a set of able guys so wack in dealing with something as crucial as this! What the heck!! So what if I never found her, thats how she would have gone missing forever like her dad!! He yelled and I gasped. Found me? His brother couldnt help but chuckle while the guy that carried me cleared his throat. He maintained this serious face and imed to be so angry not knowing that his seriousness is more like a billionaire celebrity acting a script, oh boy!! Guy is so good looking. Get the fuck out of my sight!! You All are fired!! They all gasped in shock. Out now!! Before I change my mind to do something worse. And you bitch! As you can see, Your runaway friend is back and safe. Run along with them. Fanuel said and Diana just smiled. Really!! Diana would punch anyone who calls her bitch, she would screw anyone who calls her names but here she is smiling sheepishly like a lost puppy. Im Diana, a final year student of chemical engineering. Its so nice to meet you, Fanuel Hudson. She shrieks and I loudly scoff irritatedly. Why is she making it so obvious that she likes him, why must it be in my condition now? In one word, Define a rehab. ummmits a ce for the crazy ones. Good, now who is a psychiatrist? A doctor for the crazy ones. Thats how you should Introduce yourself next time, youre crazily in need of a psychiatrist in a rehab. What?!!! Get the fuck out of my House!!!!! He yelled at the already horrified Diana who had tears welled in her eyes. Poor Diana, second heart break. The first one ignored her, the second one called her crazy in need of rehab and a psychiatrist. I was still sprawled on the floor as a result of the almighty p, never knowing he hitdies. His brother was the coolest and calmest creature Ive ever set my own. Well, let me not be judgemental yet. He might have this beasty side of him hes yet to unravel, who knows that Fanuel Hudson will be this cold and cocky, arrogant, aggressive as ever. His brother has this sweet smile stered on his face as he stares at his phone, he wasnt hot, he was decent, calm and has this holish guy vibe, hes this type that gives you peace of mind by a mere looking at him. Maybe If he was the CEO of Hudson chemicals, he might have forgiven me and I would be home right now with mum, not transferring Webbs crimes to me. Diana was really hurt but its just for a moment. The Diana I know will never give up on her crush until she finds a new one. Its okay Dee, tell mum Im fine, Tell Easton that I love him and he should take care of mum, Take care of yourself too. I told her and she smiled. Ofcourse I will, I will definitelye back and visit, she said, eyeing Fanuel who seemed distracted with his phone. Hes damn harsh Christine. She whispered silently. I know right? Im a dead meat Dee. Yeah! I will pray for you, so he wont bury you in a grave before Ie back. I chuckled out loud and I regretted that immediately. Fanuel clicked his fingers and his bodyguard came forward. Throw this thing outside for wasting time here, thene back and get this trash out of my sight and lock her up till I return. He says and waves his hands dismissively while he leaves the living room with his brother. I might not know a lot about the Hudsons family but Fanuel Hudson is one personality to flee from. He signals danger. ******** Fanuels Pov I got a message from the board of directors of Hudsons chemical technology about an urgent and impromptu meeting. I didnt argue as I fled from the house asap. Mr Webbs daughter was another distraction to deal withter, all Im focused and concerned right now is thepany and its growth. I think youre being too harsh on that girl. Jayden said while driving and I scoffed. Whats harsh? I didnt do a thing and youreplimenting me already. Wait until I start treating her nice. I bet you would love me the most. I tell him sarcastically. Youre unbelievable, she hasnt even stepped foot in the mansion, youve started showing her how sweet you are. So when she finally steps in, what will you now reveal to her? Ill reveal the most romantic side of myself, can you just concentrate on the road and take me to thepany? Her Dad pitched us in this lousy mess and youre here preaching!! She will see hell!! I told him with finalty and he zipped his mouth closed. We reached Hudsons and rushed in. I was so eager to hear good news. Approval of a loan? Adjournment of Oak bay case in Court? Patience exercised by other investors? Anything pleasing to the ears is all I want to hear right now. The boardroom was already filled up and I took my seat. I cleared my throat and asked for the reason why the meeting was urgent and unannounced. The Head of resources stood and cleared his throat. We deeply apologize for this impromptu gathering, we fixed this because we have something great to share with you and it shouldnt be dyed. Okay? The Management team of the World bank has finally agreed to draft a loan we recently applied for under the guise of sorting out a huge contract we just received. Wow!! Oh my God! Thats great news indeed. I said I was really excited, I knew I was expecting something pleasant.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. Yes sir, another piece of news is that The President of America has given us a one year contract of filtration of bad and polluted oil with the recement of new and pure oil in his basement, worth 300 billion dors. Now I wasnt expecting that, Dang!!! Thats a st. The biggest contract ever in the history of thispany. What are we waiting for? Did you collect the contract documents? Yes, we did and we were asked to fill the most vital part of the document, if not the contract will be terminated. God forbids such ill luck I sted out. The ountant stood up and stretched a file to me. He said the most forbidden words I have never wished to hear in a long time. This file is a Marital status profile from the contract and the loan, stating the necessary information and requirements to ept the contract. Failure to do so means terminating the contract and its expiring in the next thirty days. We are sorry Mr Fanuel but you cant be our next CEO until you get married. Chapter 10 A resetting slap CHAPTER TEN. Authors Pov. Im not getting married. Fanuel yelled at his mum. Fine! Sit and watch thepany crumble. There has to be another way Mum! Jayden why are you silent, say something! I dont know what to say. Jay said and Fanuel gasped. For goodness sake, what does marital status have to do with a contract or a loan? Cause its only eligible for married men, I think they kind ofmand respect. Your dad was asked to fill a marital status form when he was trying to register thepany, and luckily for him, he was married. Mum! This is no time for jokes, Im serious. I need to visit dad at the hospital and ask for another way. ARE YOU CRAZY!! Jayden and his Mum both screamed. Im not okay, Im not ready for marriage. Its not even on my list of things to achieve in the next ten years. His mum gasped. Are you impotent Nuel? His mum asked and he shrieked in horror. What the f?k Mum?!! Stop cursing at mum!! Jayden yelled. Didnt you just hear what she asked me? I was about to ask you the same. Really? Fine, Im done here. You havent answered my question Fanuel!! Mum!! Im not okay? Its barbaric to be asking your son such Then why dont you want to get married? Dont you want to have children? Eww!! Mum not now okay, the thought alone freaks me out Gosh! I wonder who gave birth to you. You did mum and you cant deny me right now. I gave birth to a potent guy who will get married soon and save my husbandspany and his futurepany with grandchildren. If you think youve got time, then youre ying with fire. The Investors have no patience. They are like lions waiting for their prey to attack, they seem to admire your sess and goals but deep down they pray for your downfall so that their own legacy may stand while yours perish. So do something before something happens to you or thepany. Fanuel sighs deeply in frustration and runs his hands over his hairs. What do I do? Get a bride. He red at Jayden. I will help you with one His mum said and he gritted his teeth. I can do that myself Mum, Im not a baby. Youre my baby, now get out and go fix the mess. He stood up at once and walked briskly towards the door carelessly and collided with a girl carrying a tray of hot coffee. It was a st as hot coffee sshed on his white shirt and caused a burn on his wless skin. He screamed dramatically with shock as he didnt expect to bump at anyone on the door. Oh my God!! Im so sorry, Im so. sorry, It wasnt intentional. Christine shakily apologized but a loud p was sent across her face, sending sparks of pain cursing through her face. Damn you!! Ah! Are you blind or something? What the heck are you even doing here? I told them to lock you up!! He yelled furiously. I asked them to free her today, shes a human being not a stick. You wont want her to stay there without food or water, a bath and a change of clothes. Jayden said to his astonished brother. You ask like I care? Is she here to enjoy any of those bullshits you just mentioned? She burnt my skin with a hot coffee, are you happy now!! Im such an ted brother.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. Mum? I think youre being too hot tempered on a beautiful girl, we know her dad put you through all this stress, but youre ying Vampire on this innocent human. His mum said and he bit his lips in anger. He was raged. No one seems to be taking his side, his skin hurts like hell and all they are concerned about is this thwart whose father brought a heavy yoke upon his neck. He pushed her with force and went out, he needed to see Edward. Edward must have something to say about this marriage madness of things. *********** Christine Pov. I was shivering and freezing like hell in this room I was locked in. It was really big and beautiful but Im too hurt to admire the exquisite works of art in the room. I just want to cry, Im tired of holding back. Is this how my life will be here? I wasnt expecting a fantasy though, but my day here is already ringing hell? I wish I wasnt born by mother, maybe my real dad would have been alive or my real mum couldnt have gotten married to a monster to keep me in this mess. I would have gotten a job, rented an apartment with Easton.. ah Easton!! I wonder how he is, or hes feeling right now. He was one of the reasons my life was at ease. He cared for me Like his life depended on it, he made me smile and treated me like his kids sister. He made me wish for sickness, Lol. I literally dont do anything at all and all my cravings will be provided. I just wonder how he is. I would have been independent and live my life, fall in love and get married to the man of my dreams. But here I am stuck in the web of someones crime. Someone who did a whole lot of damage in my life. The Air conditioner in the room was maddening. Im allergic to cold or too much air as it stirs panic attacks and triggers my heart. Its not asthma, and I seriously dont know what it is. Hospital isnt my favourite ce so I dont have ns of going there anytime soon. The door knob twisted and was pushed open. A gorgeous Jayden peeped inside and gave me the most heartwarming smile ever. Who is this angel? I stupidly smiled back. Hey! Are you okay? He asked and I nodded. Do you need anything? I silently nodded my head negatively. ummm. you dont have to sit and wrap yourself on the floor like that, you can get on the couch or even lie on the bed until further notice okay? Okay, t.. t.. thanks a lot My ttering teeth betrayed me as I replied to him. Shit!! He cursed and came over to feel my temperature, he cursed the more and went over to switch off the air conditioners and other cooling devices. Do you want to freeze to death? Why will you turn everything on to the veryst volume? I didnt do that. DamnFanuel!! Heye over to the firece and get yourself warm, I will get you something to change up He said and held my folded hands to a beautiful ce. It burned fire with cackle sounds and the pavement over it was decorated with beautiful gold flowers with ss frames from the top to every edge of the firece. It was more like a fire in prison. I felt so warm as he left to get what he said while I slept off. I woke up feeling extremely famished, I needed to eat something so bad that I stood up with all hope that the door shouldnt be locked. I heaved a sigh of relief as I found it open. I stepped out and the first person I came in contact with was a queen. She was arrayed gorgeously with the finest apparel. She looked like those Indian queen mothers I watched on zee world or starlife. She came closer to me and I immediately bowed my head down, greeting her. Are you the managers daughter? She smiled and asked while I nodded my head in shame waiting for a p or a kick. Get me a coffee, bring it to the first floor living room. Two cups please. She said and left while I stood there in awe. Ooops! I wasnt expecting that. How I managed to trace the kitchen and the dinning remains a terrible story as I kept bumping into rooms and entering living rooms. Now here I am finally, going to give the queen her coffee after so much effort, only to be spilled by this arrogant boss. A resetting p crashed my face and I wince in pain, gosh!! I think I need to start getting used to this p. I bowed and apologized to the queen whom I just discovered to be Mrs Hudson and Jayden seated next to her just gave a wry smile. I was packing up the tray and broken cups on the floor to get another coffee when Mrs Hudson said something. Maybe Fanuel should just marry this one, what do you think Jay? Well the tray slipped back from my hands as I turned to look at her in shock. Coma CHAPTER ELEVEN. Eastons Pov. I suspected him to have engaged himself in something illegal, the shy cars were evident, the renovation of the house, increase in allowance and luxurious trips with his wife, Christines Mum. My guts told me something wasnt right but I was blinded by the fact that hes a manager of the biggestpany in America. Not only is he a thief but a Monster. A heartless man who doesnt even care about his own son and how he will live after this. His sole concentration was on the money he stole and he fled without looking back. He thought I didnt overheard what Christine said back then to him the night she returned from school. He ripped her, damn!!! He fucking had his way with her and shes been battling with it for quite sometime. How couldhow could he even think of doing that to his own daughter? The daughter of your wife? Shit!!! I hurl the remote close to me and smash it on the wall with anger. Easton!! Mum yelled from the living room but I ignored. She doesnt even know what her daughter has been going through, how badpoor Christine.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Easton what is wrong with you? This is the fifth time youre smashing things. She came inside the room and shouted I guess they are just useless. No they are not, youre venting your anger towards anything. That should be cool right? What? The person Im supposed to vent all my anger on escaped and yed a prank on me and made my sister to be in a shitty hell mansion right now doing what God knows. Eas A dad who willingly left his child just for money.. and pushed his daughter to the hands of those he stole from, Is he even human? I dont know how to answer that, Easton. Hes a monster! Hes your Dad!! To hell with such a title!! I dont have a dad! No matter what he did, hes still your father, he mighte back soonstop saying such things. Even if hees back now, hes still not my dad, not anymore and stop trying to act all saint and paint shitty advice on my head, it wont work. Oh really!! You think youre the only one hurt here? That monster is also my husband, that wicked man left me without thinking twice and made my baby girl dwell in the midst of some thugs who might decide to do anything to her without thinking. Really? And youre here telling me to still call him dad? You dont have a choice. I have a choice in this one Mum, Who calls a rapist dad? Who the heck will take and molest his own daughter? I yelled in anger and immediately regretted saying that. What?? Shit! Mum isnt supposed to know about that. Answer me Easton, what do you mean by that? Her eyes were already glistening with tears threatening to fall. Mum! I just want to let you know that I can never have a dad as a monster and no matter where he is on this earth, I will find him and bring Christine home. Easton? I left her in the room and went out. I really need to clear my head right now. Im so angry and tense. ******* Fanuels Pov. You look beautiful dude, I should take a photo of you. Edward teased me and I took off the shirt. Dont even try that, the shitty girl I picked sshed hot coffee on my shirt on my waying here. Get me a shirt or something to wear. I should do that asap, before you snatch my girlfriend away with this fabulous skin. Is Celineing over? I wish, she said she will being but I doubt that. He said and went inside to get the cloth. Celine was his girlfriend, a rich mannerless brat who was head over heels in love with edward. Edward imed to like her too but the friend I know was just saying that because of the free carnal benefits he derives from her. He was still a flirt despite that, cute as hell and wont settle for less. He gets what he wants and at anytime he wants it, hes a genius but he can be stupid at times. Hes sweet today but he can be annoying tomorrow, above all things he loves me to the moon and back ever since we were in high school, weve fought and resolved at the same time. Hes like a brother to me and I can trust him with anything. Stop missing me, Im here already. You wish. I collected the Calvin Klein shirt from him and threw it on my body. hmmmmsmells nice, never knew you had an eye for Kleins, you have a way of copying my favorite designers product. Care for a drink? Yeah, Shirley Temple on ice cubes. I dont have such expensive shit here man, go home and drink that. You shouldnt be my friend. Yeah right? I should just kill you and take your ce as the next CEO and get married to Celine, maybe BBCswork will allow me to watch another news with a different headline. Shit!! You saw that? Its everywhere man. He went to his wine stand and got a drink with two tumblers. This is a vodka gin without ice cubes, are you in or out? Im in. Good, so what are you gonna do about this marriage fiasco? I really dont know Edward! Thepany is at stake, if I dont do something, they will drag ourpany to Court in regards to the pending projects that were untouched. Thats bad, you know. Your dad mustnt have heard of this, have you visited the hospital since then? No, mum has been doing that. He tilted his head to the side and red at me, shaking his head in the Process. What? So you feelfortable by letting your Mum visit dad all the time, knowing how emotional women can be once they get pressured to do something especially with their state of health, Common Fanuelshe will sing like a bird. Edward said and cold chills ran through my body, he was righttheres every possibility of mum telling dad about thepanys update. Mr Hudson wont easily give up on hispany even on his dying bed, he will want to know every nook and cranny of thepany. Why havent I thought of these since? I need to go to the hospital I say breathlessly. Chill nothing will happen, you can always call the doctor and ask about his health. Thats right, Ill do that now. As for now, you need a bride. Dont tell me that shit bro, aint getting married. Then watch thepany crumble. Aaargh!.. why are you sounding like my Mum right now? Cause Momma is right, hey! I have a good bride suggestion for you. Really, who? Mr Webbs daughter Holy shit!! Even the altar will reject her on that day, I feel cockroaches crawling on my body when you say that, dont repeat such statements.. I could puke out. She will make a good wife, you know, especially in bed too. I picked up my drink and sipped while I stood up to make a call. Youre an ass Edward. The feeling is mutual baby, I cant wait to be your best man. Heughed at his silly statement while I spoke with the doctor. Hello Doc, its Fanuel Hudson Fanuel, hope youre doing great. Yeah, Doc. Im calling on behalf of my Dad, I know Ive been so busy with work stuff and I havent visited in a while. How is he? I asked him but he hesitated and paused at the other end. HelloDoctor Kyle? Im sorry Fanuel, I thought your mum told you. Tell me what, is there anything wrong with my father? Talk to me I yelled and that startled Edward who had a questioning face. Im sorry Fanuel but your dad fell into aast week. Chapter 12: Crucifix of dilemma CHAPTER TWELVE Christines Pov. Its been seven days since I got to Hudsons house, and Ive experienced thorns and roses. Thorns from Fanuel, Roses from Jayden and his mum. I avoided anything that has to do with Fanuel like gue, it got to a stage where I had to start sensing his scent. He was the only one that uses Ralph Laurens Perfume, that expensive shit articted the whole atmosphere. Once I sense him nearer, I take another direction. Ive told you to stop doing that shit, you look like a Vampire looking for human flesh to feed on Thats Laurel, a maid I became acquainted with. She was nice to me, really nice and I like her a lot. She reminds me of Diana.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. I have to Laurel, I dont want to set my eyes on his cute ugly face. Thats so weird, how can you call someone cute and ugly at the same time? Thats because physically hes cute, but inwardly hes ugly. What apliment, I think he likes you. I gasped in horror. Wow!! Thanks Laurel youre a good psychologist, hes totally in love with me. I told her sarcastically and sheughed out loud. Scratch that Christine, you know thats a sarcasticpliment. I still wonder why he harbors hatred towards you. My dad ran away with billions and put him on a crucifix of dilemma, would you love me in his shoes? I would bury you alive Now you see why I said some people would be worse than Lucifer, he even tried to let me be like a maid here. You will be wicked Laurel, get the hell out of my sight. She chuckled and whispered silently. I still love you, you know. I despise you Yeah I know, thats why you cant do without me. Gosh Laurel, can you get over this Lunch already? Jayden and Mrs Hudson are waiting already. Your guy will be joining them today for lunch, youre serving them. You mean Fanuel? Who else? Please dont do this to me, Laurel. Im doing it already, just be careful okay, we wont hear another thunder p today. Laurel.. Come on, at least apany me to the dining so I wont slip in horror when I see his face. Byeee. sweet ps I advance. She waved her fingers and exited the kitchen. Shit! My chest is already beating rapidly as if I ran a marathon. How am I supposed to serve them lunch when an incarnate of hell is there with them. Thats why she insisted I follow her to the kitchen, she wanted me to finally serve him. She knew Ive been avoiding him, she knew about me getting used to his smelleww! How gross could that be? I was doing everything within my power to avoid him, but that girl just wanted to get on my nerves. Aaargh!! They are all waiting, gosh I need to be fast. Calm down, calm down okay.. breathits just a p, nothing more. 1.. 2.. 3Fine. *********** They were all seated at the couch talking about nothing in particr. I was d as I used the opportunity to arrange the meal on the table. Two more maids came and joined me and I couldnt be more grateful. The Golden table was huge and long, wide and tall. Fruits and flowers were disyed horizontally to the very edge, napkinsy side by side till the very edge too. The food was disyed till the very edge, there were only four, they would never finish such a meal but thats the ritual here. Food was like grass to them as it was wasted beyond measure, everything here wasvishly beautiful and breathtaking. I asked one of the maids to kindly call them to the dining room but they declined saying it wasnt their duty to call them. I was disappointed. I puffed out the air anxiously and walked to them. Im really sorry to intrude but lunch is ready. I surprisingly said that without shaking and Mrs Hudson smiled at me nodding her head. Check this out, she made this for me. She removed the white knitted scarf designed with a shiny pink silky thread at the edge, and her name threaded on the scarf. I smiled and felt at ease because she loved it. She hadined bitterly once that her handkerchief was nowhere to be found, it had Hudsons name on it and she felt really disturbed. I was a pro with knitting so I asked Laurel for help in getting a knitting pin and the finest wool ever. I spent the night making her a new beautiful one and gave it to her yesterday. I was really scared, she was a billionaires wife and could get anything she wants at her beck and call. I thought it wasnt good enough, i almost gave up but Laurel pushed me into trying. And her smile. it was the most beautiful of all as she kept thanking me non stop. Wow!! Its really beautiful, how did you do it? Jayden asked me and I opened my mouth to answer. Shut it and get lost! If you think this is your way of winning my familys heart with your crafty and useless gifts, its not going to work. Fanuel? Shut up Jayden! Let this be the first and thest time I see you anywhere around my brother or mother. He yelled and I flinched in fear. Tearsced my eyes while I nodded and bent my face. Whats that Fanuel? His mum asked. I dont want her anywhere around you too, The next thing we will hear is she fled taking food items with golden tes and spoons from the mansion. Thats a harsh man. The fourth guy I havent met before finally said something. I dont give a fuck!!! Im in this shackles of confusion because of her!! Its because of her Dad!! Jayden yelled back. And whats the difference huh? You all are getting blinded by this wack and fake pretense emanating from her, when a thiefs blood runs through her veins. She was brought here as a hostage but you let her roam freely and even give her the opportunity of wearing a maids uniform, thats not enough. You let her serve me food!!! What if she poisoned me or you all? I couldnt hold back the tears as I sniffed. Is that what he thinks of me? A thief, a pretender, a liar, killer? Is this how Webb was? Youre unbelievable Fanuel. Edward!! You didnte all the way from your house to defend this piece of shit, did you? Shes human. So am I, a human dealing with problems without a finite solution to it. Fanuel, I get it that youre in pain.. youre running through shitty stuff because of whatever her dad might have caused you and trust me its pretty painful. Have you tried contacting the cops to know how far theyve gone in finding the culprit while you deal with your headache? I dont think so, Youre focusing all your energy on an innocent girl, I didnt give birth to a monster, stop portraying that title. Mum??? He gasped in horror. Did you just call me a monster? None of them answered him as they all went over to the dinning room to have their lunch. I was still standing there, head bent downwards when he came closer and yelled like a maniac. GET OUT!!! Chapter 13: Working as a maid CHAPTER THIRTEEN. Christine Pov. Shhh. thats okay, none of this will reverse whatever shit he said. It hurts Laurel, I feel like a pack of wickedness causing him so much pain. You need to see the hurt in his eyes. If he had a knife back there, he would have stabbed me. Yeah right? Not with his brother and mum right there. My dad put him in a mess and hes hurting really bad Well thats true but I think its because of his dads health, I heard he fell into aa I gasped. What? Yeah, its kind of like taking a troll on himjeez! Whats it with the tears? Im going to leave you right away if youre going to be pouring rivers of tears. Laurel red. Im sorry, Im just feeling so bad for him, hes going through a lot you know. The only thing that guy is going through is the hard nut of getting married, he doesnt want to hear that shit and thepany is crumbling. Theyve finally taken the case to court. Oh Laurel, that isnt good. Yeah, until he gets married and signs the billion dor contract dancing before him. Marry him. I tell her and she turns around searching for something. Did someone just say something? Marry him and save him from this stress Laurel. Seems youve gone nuts Christine. Marry him!! Youre a crazy girl, marriage sounds like vinegar to that rich spoiled brat and youre saying the unbelievable, do you hate me that much? Iughed. I was joking moron. Youre one pack of confused idiots,e on, lets go clean up. Im tired. Nope, youre weak from what your guy told youits okay darling, he wille around to apologize i hit her on the shoulder and red at her. Stop talking nonsense!! Im being tonic dear Define tonic. FineI give up, lets get to work. I will be cleaning Fanuel Hudsons room today. Laurel is so unbelievable, the maids are too gullible for my liking. Nobody wants to dare enter his room for anything and I kept wondering if they couldnt have entered and done their duty, just because ugly circumstances brought me here, I keep getting pushed to meet my poison. No one enters Fanuel Hudsons room andes out the same. One of them had told me. How? Does he kill them? Gosh!! Youre crazy! He fires them? Wow! Anyone who enters his room is already in tears because he/she knows for sure that hes going home. If you touch his things carelessly, YOURE FIRED!! If you dust his items wrongly, YOURE FIRED!!! Anything you do wrongly, youre going home dear. So thats why you all are pushing me to get fired right? You were never a worker dear, youre stuck here. I cant believe that either, Im stuck here for life. Until God in heaven intervenes, Im at the mercy of Fanuel Hudsons. Now his room was another Phantom of beauty. Damn it!!! This guy loves blue. My favorite. The chandeliers in the room sparkled blue dim lights and the gold tiles reflected brightly. Fanuel! I gasped at the inscription of his name and walked closer to it. It was designed beautifully at the top of his bed. Silver Blue stones were littered on the golden name and lights were sparkling in different colors. His King sized bed was the highest andrgest Ive evere across. A royal blue duvety neatly with a gold F logo in the middle. I groaned and rolled my eyes, we already know hes Fanuel.. must he design everywhere with his ugly name? I hissed and took a good look at his wardrobe. It was pure gold!!! Lord of heavens, Everywhere is screaming wealth, ss and mor. What was the Web thinking when he stole from them? I ran my hands on the tall beautiful frame before me, I dont know why Im feeling so emotional right now. Is it because of the fact that Im looking at this most beautiful room in the world with my favorite color, or the fact that Im standing in the almighty Fanuel Hudsons roomsomething that I wouldve never dreamed off, I think its a privilege, Im so ted. This is fucking beautiful. What are you doing there? A deep voice made me tremble and shake in fear. I swallowed hard and turned slowly, Im in for it today, a wonderful p on the way. Holy shit!! I closed my eyes and turned back immediately. What the heck Fanuel? Are you deaf? What are you doing there? ummmI was cleaning the room. Really? By staring at the wardrobe and talking to yourself? I bit my lip in embarrassment. No I wasnt, I was admiring its beauty.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. I know, so that you can n on eloping with it someday right? Too bad this one is too heavy for you. I turn to face him sharply. I wasnt nning on doing that. I re at him. My ring didnt work at all, I was shamelessly staring. Staring at his unclothed body dripping wet with water, with a towel tied on his waist. His hair was drenched in water, he just stepped out from a shower and hes so fucking goooood!! His skin is so milky and wless, dear God!! This isnt what we nned. He had a tattoo on the right side of his arm and a piercing on his left ear. His blue icy eyes were dting in stress and I could observe that hasnt had a sleep for some time now. His abs. Gosh, I need to leave. Can you get the fuck out of my sight let me get dressed I fled before he finished his statement. I scurried for the door immediately but his voice stopped my tracks. Where the hell are you going? Are you done with what brought you here? I.. IyouI wille back when youre done with dressing up. I stuttered with words as he faced me. I gasped when I took a good look at his stomach, it was red. Its normal, I have the skin and body of a modeldont get too bbergasted, enjoy the view while itsts and get done with this room already. Tch! Arrogant fool, I was staring at the burns on his skin and not his angelic model body and skin. Though hes right, Im carried away by such skinhes just too. sexy. I blindly and hurriedly cleaned up his room.. Not even a speck of dirt was there but I just needed to do it. I was sweating under the air conditioner, his presence made me feel terrible. I was ufortable as I kept keeping things in the wrong position and dimensions. Where are you taking that cofflin to? Huh? Imthe.. wardrobe? Thats the restroom, dummy! Oh! Im sorry. I apologized and went towards the wardrobe. You know what, just drop it back, before you throw my cofflin away, that shit is expensive. Youre heading to the shower. I nodded stupidly and dropped it back on the floor. Are you stupid? huh? Yes Why will you keep that on the floor, do you want me to be infected? You said I should keep it where I picked it. And youre blind that you dont see a table behind you right? Im sorry Sorry your ass, youre lucky you arent my workeryou would have been fired this minute. Get me a juice I nodded and walked towards the door. Thats my study room you idiot!!! Thats the way to the main door. He shouted and pointed his hands at a particr door. I bowed and apologized. He was now dressed in a red polo and denim jeans, sitted by the sides of his bed and tapping furiously on hisptop. God, let this cup pass over me. I came back with the juice and he sneered. Did I ask for juice? I said waterwho the hell are you? He yelled. Im sorry, I will get it for you I ran like a maniac to the kitchen and got a bottle of water from the fridge, a tray and a ss cup back to his room. You dummy, I dont drink cold water. I take warm water!! He said dismissively and I bit my lips in anger. Im sorryI apologized painfully and ran back to the kitchen. I was panting, The journey from his room to the kitchen wasnt easy at all. It was a long walk and I wished there was an elevator for a long distance. Elevators are used either for going down or going up and unfortunately for me this arrogant CEO stays on the second floor. I brought the water. This is too hot, I said warmYoure as stupid as your father. The water is not hot!! I grit In anger. Are you saying Im lying? YES YOURE LYING, YOU SON OF A BITCH. Did you say something? Nope, Im sorry I wished I said those words to him, it was all in my imagination. I wish to p his cute face and yell at him for stressing my life. I didnt bring this upon myself. You know what? Get out!! I fled. Where the hell have you been!! Laurel yelled at me the moment I reached the room. Why not ask your stupid boss? Take it easy, your friend was here earlier. Diana? Yes, she will be working as a maid here. Chapter 14: He had an ex? CHAPTER FOURTEEN. Dianas POV. It was really hard trying to get in here, I wouldnt take no for an answer as I always strive to get what I want by all means and at all costs.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. I couldnt stop thinking about Fanuel ever since I set my eyes on him physically, he was the beauty of beauties. I was starstruck and I had to find every means to be in that mansion. I had applied to work as a maid in the Hudsons mansion online. I waited for days but my email kept on pending. I was so frustrated and my mum noticed that, she asked me to share the issue with her, I only told her my desperation to get into the Hudsons mansion and work as a maid. Mum yelled thunder and brimstone on me for going there all because of my friend. She never wanted me to indulge myself with Christine just because of her recent predicament. I pleaded, I cried, I rejected meals and I became sick just because of being a maid in the Hudsons mansion. The thoughts alone that Christine get to see Fanuel every blessed day drives me crazy to core, I want to see him too, I want to be near him also. I just didnt want this golden opportunity to slip even if it means using Christine as an excuse to get in there. I tried every nook and cranny but nothing was working out for me , the obvious truth was that getting into such mansion requires connection and help from those rted to them. It was going haywire for me as I sourced do the only thing left on my mind. I needed to be assertive by all means, I packed my bags and belongings and went straight to the Hudsons home. First person I requested to see was Jayden Hudson, he was the calmest person in the house and he will have no choice than to ept me in there by all means. He hesitated at first because he felt his brother wont be pleased at all by such idea, but I yelled and told him that someone has to watch out for Christine or they will think shes not alive or shes been kidnapped. She happens to be the one whos going to stay here and watch her out while she work here as a maid. He stared at me for decades without saying anything before letting me in. He called one of the maids to get my bags and show me Christines room, I was ted. The building was everyones dreams, it was like a prince living in a fairynd. Gosh, I wish to be that princess who will capture the princes heart. The room was too beautiful for a maid. It could never bepared to our house back there, it was everything gold!! It was too serene and peaceful and breathtaking. Diana? I turned towards the direction of my name. Oh my!! Christine! She shrieked in happiness and we engulf ourselves in a hug. I cant believe youre here I cant believe that too! Thank you Diana For what? Foring here, I know you did this because of me. She said and I rolled my eyes. If only she knew, Im here for my manbut Im also here for her though, I missed her a lot. Its nothing Christine, I would go anywhere and make sure youre okay Thank you, Im feeling so emotional right now. What are you waiting for, Bring the tears baby. We bothughed and disentangle ourselves. I noticed the girl beside us as she kept smiling at us. Im Laurel, your friends new friend. I chuckle. Christine was already cheating behind my back in the space of how many days!! Im so hurt and jealous right now. I fake a crying face. You two are just alike, crazy in everything. Laurelughed, she was pretty, very pretty that Im already thinking that Fanuel might consider taking her as a wife. God forbid!! I will scratch her pretty eyes out. Yeah, shes more like my twin Then you both are in for it in this house with the boss. She said and Christine groaned. Must you always mention him to spoil my mood? Which boss? I curiously asked. Your sweetheart crush she res. Is he that bad? Thest time I was here, I thought he was only in a bad mood Really? They both chorused. Yeah? See let me tell you something about your wonderful crush. I know he has a grudge on me because of my dads shitty crime with thepany but hes still naturally proud, arrogant, cruel, selfish, wicked and agrressive as hell. Eeish!! Christinethats too much I tell her and she res. Wait until you have an encounter with him, then you will likely add yours. Yeah, shes right. Hes kind of worse this days because of the marriage thats kind of taking a troll on him. Laurel said. Marriage?!! I almost screamed. Yeah, havent you heard? I know about him getting married so he will be able to sign a contract, I read the news every blessed day about him and he always insisted on never getting married yet, Im just surprised. Well, hes still insisting on that though but he has no choice in this case. Maybe he will finally get married to his ex, the president daughter. He had an ex? I asked out of jealousy. Yeah, they dated only for a month and Fanuel told her to fuck off, that he was done. Poor girl, what could she have done to a prince to piss him off in such manner, she could have cherish him like an egg and guard him jealousy till the end. Since shes here, she has to make sure he noticed her by all means. Christine collected my smart phone and unlocked it. Its really weird that I dont know a thing about this our arrogant boss, let me check the website and find out some wonderful fact about him. She said and typed his name on the Google search icon. It loaded for a few minutes and every damn thing about him popped up. What?! She screamed. We all rushed to look at the phone and I was shocked to the bone, when did this happen? Chapter 15: Having a bride to be CHAPTER FIFTEEN. Jaydens Pov. Its a few minutes past 2300hrs when we get to the nightclub and we are all dying to get our hands on some booze. Its been a while since we partied; what with the work and the tension thates withst minute stress? We spotted Edward on a packed table and we pushed our way through the throng of drunkards towards them. Hey sexy dudes, youre smoking hot. A random Girl saysing over as soon as she spots us. Everyone turns to look at us and in no time, were passed around in tight stares. You told me this ce was secluded enough, you asshole Fanuel gritted his teeth. Well, I thought it was. Pray I dont get to see my name flying on BBC and world news tomorrow, if not you will be in for it. Copy that. Ho Edward said cheerfully as he slipped his soda. Ho back. You dont have to be an ass you know;besides I was greeting Jayden not you. Im too hot for your greetings, presidents and prime ministers of the royal cab should be the ones greeting me.. not a douchebag like you. I could punch this guy right now, Jayden can you please take him back home? I dont want anyone spoiling my mood with any ssypliment. You would miss me, I better stay. You wish. So guys, what are we drinking tonight? I interrupted their unending argument. Shirley Temple on ice cubes please. Fanuel said and Edward scoffed. Are you sure you dont want to visit a temple? Cause whats it with Shirley temple every time. He has the drink staring right at his face at home but he never touches it, he threw the expired one today. I said and Fanuel red. I didnt throw it on purpose, I wept while thrashing that; I dont seem to remember that I have the drink when Im home, until I step out of the house, I always have this evil craving for that drink. And you happen to be the evil drinker huh? Jayden please get him his Shirley evil and get yours, bills on me. Youre joking right? Fanuel lets not start! Bills on me period!! Jayden got us the drinks, bills for me. I asked you to get the hell out of your shell hole to lighten up here, and you want to give me orders on who pays the bill? Fine, bills on Edward. hes about to cry, that will be so embarrassing to watch. Gosh!! You two are unbelievable! I shook my head and headed towards the bar stand. Shirley temple and vodka gin I told the bar guy who stared at me without moving. What, do I look so cute that you cant do your job? Shirley temple-two thousand dors Vodka gin-a thousand dors Do you have any better drink than that? Im sorry, I will get it right away I scoffed and turned to look around the lousy ce. It reeked of sinful bodies dancing and grinding against each other. Someone seems to be unmoved and unfazed as he was lost in his own world, sitted by the bar stand and drinking away his sorrows. Thats his seventh shot, I tried persuading into drink more; so he just ordered his eighth shot. I re at the bartender. Hes already wasted and you persuaded him into buying more, how generous of you. Im just selling my business, what more do you expect from me? You will be at the verge of dying one day, and a doctor will make it easier for you by killing you off with his medicine. Godforbid! Thats harsh man He will just want to try his experiment on your body, what more will you expect from him? I hissed at the selfish moron and turned to look at the guy, he was gone! He wasnt there again but something shed before me. A bracelet. I went over to pick it, it looked really familiar. I thought hard. I saw this bracelet recently on someones hand. WaitChristine!! Yes, she has this exact type of bracelet on her hands! Who could that guy be? I took the drinks and went over to meet them. You took forever!! Sorry Why is the Shirley temple looking like sin? Edward asked. How? Cant you see how red it is, deep red Guy, you dont have to be a thwarter all the time. Yeah speaking of that, I saw what you did on your Instagram page I told him and he smirked. Yeah, just to stir them up a little. So, who is this wonderful person? Edward asked him, smiling so wide. Who is who? Theres no one, I just did that to stir them up.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. Youre crazy Fanuel. Yeah, I love crazy. Fanuel sighed and sipped his drink with style. He looks worried as fuck and he hasnt had some sleep for some days now, all thanks to dadspany an the marriage troll on his neck. He doesnt want to get married and reasons best known to him. He wasnt even a rtionship type, he stayed cleared fromdies no matter how they shamelessly threw themselves at him. He was exceptionally unexinable. Hey guys, I have an idea. They all turned to look at me with eager ears. ********* What? Christine gasped while Laurel and Diana rushed to look at the phone and they gasped. Wow!! Its good news, why do you sound as if its bad news.Laurel said smiling while Diana wasnt convinced enough so she read it aloud. CELEBRITY CEO HANDSOME, FANUEL HUDSON HAS TOOK TO HIS INSTAGRAM PAGE ON HAVING A BRIDE TO BE TO SAVE HUDSONS CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGIES. Thats not possible!! Diana yelled. Why? Laurel and Christine both chorused. I mean, he never had a fiancee from the onset. Yeah but he has now, Im just surprised at the fact that it took him so long to admit that hes going to get married, like what the heck!! Maybe he has finally seen the girl of his dreams Dreams my foot, I just cant wait for him to get married and leave the adventure. I might be set free. Christine said and Laurel smirked. Until then baby girl, youre still stuck here till next week. Fanuel hudson is getting married next week. Chapter 16: Diamond necklace is missing DEAL WITH THE CEO. CHAPTER SIXTEEN. Thirds Pov. He looked frustrated, calm and beautiful. He kept biting his lips at different intervals and it seemed to be driving Christine over the edge as she dust his room. His hairy brows kept creasing in confusion, as he ran his hands on his curly hair. His Silver ne shone brightly to the rays of the beautiful room light, his white shirt hung tightly to him like a second skin and the first three buttons of his shirt were opened revealing a delicious part of his not so hairy chest. Christine swallowed hard, her eyes were fixed on him as she didnt even know what she was cleaning again, she regretted being allowed in here, she hated the fact that her body reacts to his presence, she hated the fact that she likes how good he looks, she likes staring at him even though hes a pain the ass. How can someone look so effortlessly gorgeous? He was seriously typing on hisptop and his pupils dted darker in worry, She felt for him, he needed to rest. He was over stressed and it might take a toll on his health, he doesnt sleep at night. She has woken up severally to see him walk around with a drink in his hands as he stares into nothing. He looked like a fine wine that needed to be kept in the purest and most expensive bottle, without stress, just to stay there and glow its beauty. Are you done staring? She trembled at his voice. huh? I know Im irresistible, but can you get done with that shit and fuck off? He yelled and Christine bowed. Im sorry. Save your apologies and bounce out. She wasnt done yet but she was d he asked her to leave, his presence was taking control of her and she couldnt exin such feelings. She dropped a cream on the table and took her steps to leave. And whats that? A tube cream for burns What? I noticed that the coffee I poured on you had burnt your skin with a mark, so I told Jayden to order for an anti inmmatory cream for you He scoffed. What the actual fuck!! Who the hell are you? Im sorry, I just. Have I warned you to stay away from my brother? I just wanted to.. You keep disobeying my orders right, oh! You want to prove something. Your skin was red, i thought I could just help!! So youre saying I dont have experienced doctors all over the country to get me treated right? Its a shameless thief like you, who knows whats best for me right? Its okay, Im sorry. It would Never repeat itself again. I will just throw the cream away. She moved to pick the cream from the table stand. So youve got balls right? You now take things on my table right in my face!! How many things have you been taking in my absence? But I thought you dont need it, I havent taken a thing in your absence. But you just did, and you have the audacity to tell me that you want to throw that away, do you know how much that shit cost? Just because your dad was lucky enough to dupe billions and millions away doesnt give you any right to touch or throw a thing here!!! I wasnt. Get the fuck out of my room. He yelled and Christine fled. The tears rolled freely, she was tired of him branding her as that monster of a dad. She was tired of him using her of anything that has to do with stealing or taking anything. Why cant he just see her as a normal human or a maid in this house? Why does he keep transferring his pain and aggression to her? No matter how she tries to be strong, his words hurt. It hurts a lot and she doubts she will be able to endure till the end. This rollercoaster ride of usations and harsh treatment would soon step on its brakes, soon enough. Hey there Hey, oh sorry hi sir. Are we really going to have another argument today about that? No Jayden, we are not. Good She chuckled and bowed her head, Jayden was one sweetest soul she has evere across. He hated it when she called him as a profession, and she made sure she felt at ease despite his brothers ill treatment towards her. You were crying right? No.. not at all. Yeah, youre not a good liar. I am a good liar! I lied a lot.. Ive lied to my Mum and seeded, Ive lied to Diana and seeded and Ive lied to Easton without making sess, Youre right!! Im a not a good liar. She faced her palms herself andughed. Told ya, mind sharing what the issue was? Nothing much, just missing my mum and brother. Yeah, youre a good liar in this one. You lied so smoothly Im not Jay! Fine, you got me! I know why you were crying but its okI can manage this lie, its still true though. Gosh! Dont you give up already? Nope, I dont I see, youre a pack of trouble. I wish. Whatever the case might be, dont take it to heart. You will get to hear more of that often and theres nothing you can do about it, behave as if such remarks have no meaning in your life and you will be surprised at how you will feel. Youre nice to me, why? He gave an angelic smile.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Dont know, maybe because whatever shit youre in now isnt your fault, and youre nice too. Thank you Jayden, this is the most heart warmingpliment Ive ever received. Youre welc Dianas Loud voice distracted us as we both turned. Oh my God!! Youre outside here, you need toe to the living room right away! All the maids are required to be there, something drastic happened. What happened? Fanuel Hudsons diamond ne is missing. My heartbeat elerated into uncountable pounds as Jayden turned to look at me. Chapter 17: I stole the necklace CHAPTER SEVENTEEN. Christines Pov. He was seated as a prince about to give the worst kind of judgement. Everyone was seated, his mother sat at the farthest end of the living room but she still had a clear view of whats about to happen. Was there a need to call the whole maids? There were about hundreds of them who didnt even have ess to the living room talkless of the main room and the second floor. My heart was weeping and pounding in fear, who could have done this? At this crucial time when my life isnt any better, a daughter of a thief for that matter. He chewed on his gum stylishly and checked on his iPad, he touched his airpod as if to connect something and spoke to someone on the phone. Ill be there in a jiffy, dont choose the wrong one before I arrive. Damn it Edward, I need a diamond!! In Fact, you know whatforget it, Iming right away!! He disconnected his airpod and raised his head to stare at all of us. He wore an earring today, Good Lordhe was dazzling! He wore a milky brown jacket with ck polo in it. His sneakers was the ssiest brown Ive evere across with, It was neat and sporty and his ck zers did justice to his body. He looked like a model ready to pose for an international magazine. I would go straight to the point cause Ive got a workload of things to do. I woke up to discover that my favourite diamond ne is missing he said, earning gasps from everyone. It was in my room, on the shelf. Now everyone turned to look at me. I was dumbstruck, I felt cold sweat running through me and my eyes were beginning to see things differently. I didnt see any diamond ne while cleaning up. I cleaned the top of the shelf and I didnt see anything, I was the only one that kept going in to clean his room for the past few days, so its normal for everyone to look at me, whats not normal is them staring at me as if I took the ne. I need some exnation for that right away!! Fanuel said calmly, waiting to explode the next minute. Everywhere was dead silent, they were still staring at me. My voice cracked and crooked when I tried to speak. I.. didnt see any ne. So Im lying right? Im spewing rubbish huh!! I never said that. I told the raging Fanuel whose eyes were zing ready to unleash its venom. Okay, what are you trying to say? That a ghost went Inside the room and took my fucking ne that cost twelve thousand euros, are you for real I dont know what happened to the ne, I didnt take it. Tears were alreadycing my fragile eyes. Shut the fuckup you thief!! For the past few days, you were the only one lurking around the room in search of greener pastures, always checking me out like some medal.. but my instincts were always right, you needed something for yourself. I warned Mum and Jayden but they wont listen!! Youre just being judgemental just because her father stole from thepany, you dont even have a solid proof to back up your allegations. Shut the fuck up Jayden!! Im telling the truth, its high time you found a solution to the problem of Hudsons chemical technologies not shifting me to an innocent girl. Oh really how sweet! Innocent? You call this psychopath thief innocent, has she also stolen your senses from you? Say whatever you want to say Fanuel, but I think its high time you got married and have a good rest. You dont tell me what to do!!. Im your brother Fanuel, youre stressed. And even if your diamond ne was found right now, it wont do you any good. Fanuel turned back to me, and sneered disgustingly but cute at the same time. You liked the ne didnt you? Just return that one, I will get another diamond ne with your name inscribed on it. I dont need any ne from you and I didnt take your ne. You bloody liar!! Im not lying!! I fired back with tears rolling down freely. We will see about that, Cole!! He called one of his men who appeared before him. Search all of them!! I will search for this one myself!! He said looking intently at me, causing chills to run through my body. I TOOK IT!! I STOLE THE NECKLACE! Laurel! I gasped in horror as she fell t on her face and wailed. What the actual fuck Laurel!! Fanuel yelled in disappointment. Im sorry boss, I was overwhelmed by the ne. Youve been here for years and youve been seeing that same ne, why now!! This is so unbelievable right now. Get her out Cole, I would have sacked her and have her over to the authorities immediately but. Just take her out, shes banned from entering inside. I couldnt believe my ears right now, I cried. No way would Laurel do such! She stared at me deeply and murmured some words to me while she was being dragged out and I felt really confused. Whats going on? Be careful I could read her lips well and thats what she said. Why? Hey Fanuel called and I turned. Maybe he wants to apologize aftershing me to shreds a few minutes ago, proud and cocky bastard. Jayden couldnt stop staring at the spot where Laurel was taken, Diana looked shocked and she was lost in thoughts. Get inside and get this trash off you, youre going out with me right now. My stomach somersaulted, He wasnt referring to me was he? I turned around to look at the person he was talking to but everyone was staring at me in awe. Are you deaf or something?!! Be nice Fanuel!! Shut up Jayden and Everyone of you should get the hell out, as for you, you have just five minutes to change up I fled to my room straight away and calmed my breaths. Are we going out together?N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Be careful? My mind was in torrents of confusion, Mrs Hudson didnt get to say a word, she was just there with her fan enjoying the view. I raised the gown off me to change into my favourite strapless ck gown when something shiny fell down from my pockets. I gasped in horror and shifted backwards. A beautiful diamond ne! Chapter 18: We are getting married CHAPTER EIGHTEEN. Christines POV. Its a Spa. The ssiest Ive ever seen in my entire life. His men came over to open the door and I stepped down from the car. I stood and looked at the skyscraper building before me in awe, it was breathtaking and ssy. We dont have all day here!! Fanuel whispered harshly. Why am I here? Behave yourself, get in there and get done with whatever shit they are going to do with you. That didnt answer my question. Are you trying to bring that act of feistiness here in public? Dont let me tell my men to throw you in there! Get the fuck out of my sight and go in there. Are youing with me? Are you crazy? Why will I do thatyou want my name to fly all over the mediacan you stop being so Inquisitive and go in there with my men, we have other ces to go I nodded in confusion as I followed his men into the aesthetic spa. The workers there were the most friendly and beautiful, They couldnt stop smiling as they ushered us in. We went to the front desk and I was asked to fill a form. Wee to Sterlings Spa maam, kindly fill in your details. Lets get you in the spa room, your husband can wait here in the reception for you. The beautifuldy on white said, referring to Cole, Faunels right hand man. Shes not my wife, just following orders. Please she needs to get done as soon as possible, we have other ces to touch He told her in a most professional way while the Lady nodded and made some calls. I was led into another room of beauties. It was bright and a white bedy in the midst withdies d in white uniform. You need to take your bath maam. One of them had told me and I nodded. It was the most exquisite bath ever as I didnt want toe out again from the Jacuzzi bath. I smelt so sweet and only God knew what sort of soap they used to mix the water. I wrapped myself with the towel provided and came out, I was directed toy on the snow white bed as they worked magic on my skin. The towel was stripped off my body as they worked, a massage was stered on my body, I sighed in ecstasy as I slept off. **** I felt a tap on my shoulders and I snapped my eyes open, I nced around and I was unsure of my environment. I was in a spa, so howe.. oh this is a car, a driving one. Who carried me? Shit! Who dressed me up? I gasped and sped my hands on my body. Cole carried you on here, and the workers there dressed you up since you were lost in your fantasy dreamnd. Fanulel said as if sensing my thoughts. I turned my face away from him and stared at the window, looking at the light poles and streets, and people of all kinds staring at everything that came passing by as I drift back to what I found in the room. The diamond ne! I could swear that it belonged to Fanuel, Ive seen him wearing that and theres no mistake that it was the ne he used me of taking. What the hell was it doing in my pockets? Just how did it find its way there? Laurel said she took it, could it mean she hid it there? Could she have tried to frame me with it but couldnt? Gosh!! I had better speak with her before I get crazy with confusion. And Fanuel? Whats it with this treatment? What does he have on his sleeve this time around? Step down and please dont steal anything, we are in a boutique I gasp and re at him. What the h. Get whatever shit you want in there and lets go. Does it look like I want a dime from you?!! It doesnt have to look like, its what every girl wants, especially your type. Whats wrong with you? Why do you have to keep rubbing it all over my face that you can buy the whole world and my dad Stole from you, I never asked you for anything, Ive got clothes to wear and I dont need anything from you!! I snapped back but he cocks his head arrogantly as if I was reciting a boring speech. Get out from here I dont need clothes. I say stubbornly. Your time starts now, and God help me not to give you ashing p this moment. I flinched when he said that, I didnt want my pretty face to get whipped by this monster so I had better get out and pick a few items. Well that was a tant lie! I picked every beautiful item that came my way. ****** We reached the house and I stepped out from the car and rushed inside but bumped something hard in the process. Are you okay? A deep voice said and I raised my head to stare at him, I groaned cause I had hit my arm in the process. Yeah, Im sorry It was his cute friend, Edward who kept staring at me, gosh! I loved his jacket.. it had my favorite celebrity name on it and its logo. A fan of BTS? A lot, my addiction he chuckled. I see, I thought I was prettyguess my jacket took its ce. Youre really pretty I told him and rushed inside. I shouldnt be having conversation with Fanuels friend, those two are not to be trusted. Oh my!! Baby girl your skin is glowing Diana gasped the moment she saw me. Really? Thanks I dont know what the asion is but Fanuel Hudson took me to a spa and a boutique.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Are you kidding me right now? Jayden said, heading towards our direction with his mum. Fanuel took you out? Why? His mum asked, confused and I feared greatly. I seriously dont know why. We are getting married Mum, Im getting married to Christine Webb Fanuel said emerging from the staircase and I froze in shock. Chapter 19: Prince of wickedness CHAPTER NINETEEN. Fanuels POV. She was horrified when I said that and everyone gasped. Mum seemed pleased, Jayden looked worriednot that I care about their opinion but Ive made up my mind. Theres no way Im getting married to a random stranger. Ive thought this over and over that my head hurts, Women are obsessed and clingy. I wasnt ready to be called a husband yet and to do the duties required from them, God forbid such shit! I literally had no one in mind, my ex would dlye back if I had asked her toe, but she was one spoiled, clingy and possessive bitch. Mum disliked her, Jayden detest her and I hate her! It was all a business shit with her father whoter persuaded my dad to let me ask her out to go on a date with her, the audacity!! I had to do it, he was the freaking presidents daughter and business had to flow. It was the worst moment of my life as I endured her demands. Every damn thing we did was for the media, she loved being unted and showcased to the world, even in the bathroom, she was going live on Instagram. Spoilt brat!! I needed someone I can control, someone I dont need to feel obliged or entitled to as a husband. I thought of the person that put me through this mess and grinned. Why didnt I think of that all along? His daughter will be the sacrificialmb and save me from all this mess. We have till next week to appear before the court and I dont want that. A lot of investors have withdrawn their investments and staff are resigning. The press keeps destroying the name of thepany and they sent ast warning concerning the loan. I was depressed. I am going to make a deal with her, its simple. Something appealing and fake. She gets to sign a contract with me. Please dont do this to me She pleaded in tears. Tell that to your runaway father. I cant marry you! And you think I want to? There are thousands of ssy girls you can pick, why me? Cause youre rted to the founder of this whole mess!! Im not ready to get married!! Tell that to the birds we are getting married next week. Please, I beg you.. Stop doing this, I cant bear the thought of staying close to you. I know Im hot, but dont worry well stay in separate rooms. Thats not what I meant!? She yelled. Fanuel, I think you should give her time to think about it, its just too sudden Jayden said worriedly and I red at him. Stay clear from this Jay!! I get really pissed off with his sudden attitude of always defending her, it annoys me crazily. Talk to your friend Edward, has he thought this over? He has Jay, thepany is crumbling and he needs to act fast Edward said and he sighs in surrender. So get prepared Christine, you will be going out with the designer any moment from now to pick your shitty wedding dress I will never get married to you!! She red and I sent a heavy p across her cheeks. Fanuel!!! They all yelled at me but I ignored them. One more word of negativity from you and your mum and dear brother will pay for it immenselyCopyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. Is this how you will treat her when you finally get married to her? Mum finally asked and I scoffed. I noticed someone staring intently at me and I followed the gaze. What the fuck are you staring at? I asked the girl who happens to be Christines friend. Nothing she stammered and still stared at my face. Bounce out!! I yelled and she shook in fear. Hey wait? She stopped on her tracks. Whats that your name again? Im Diana, a final year stu.. Youre in need of a psychiatrist, dont forget that, I asked for your name not your history She bowed in shame and I continued. Diana, as her friend you will be her maid of honor on our wedding day. She red in anger and stared at her friend in disgust. Have any problem with that? No Fanuel Its Boss!!! Get the fuck out of my sight Jayden, get me Shirley temple on an ice cube.. I need a drink he stared at me hesitatingly before walking over to the wine shelf. I stared at Christine who was sprawled on the floor as a result of the p, she was beautiful.. its so hard to deny that no matter how much I disliked her, her eyes were one thing I loved the most and she had a killer body. Mum sighed tiredly and exited the living room for us. Its a one year contract I told her and she raised her head up. You get married to me, bear me a child and get lost from my life for good! Bear you a child? Oh dont get so excited yet, it wont be so soon She hissed. Stop assuming things Mr Fanuel, the thought of me getting close to give me creepsits like a thousand cockroaches climbing my delicate skin she gritted her teeth in anger. The feeling is mutual , I get the worst feeling times ten. The documents will be here tomorrow for signing and we will visit your Mum and brother to tell them about thetest development. She stared at me like Im some sort of Prince of wickedness but I collected my drink and sipped it with style. Ive got what I wanted all I want now is for things to fall into ce after this sham of a wedding. So are you in or not? I asked not that she had a choice but as they would always say that we need to hear from the horses mouth first, and to shut a particr defender here. I smirked with satisfaction when she said those words. Im in. Chapter 20: It鈥檚 a contract marriage CHAPTER TWENTY Dianas POV. What the hell!! Like what I just heard right now about marriage. Jesus Christ!! I cant believe its happening. Everything is like a movie to me like when did this happen, I was still trying to digest the fact that Fanuel took Christine out not knowing that even a bigger blow was about tond on my head and its a real st. I cant survive this, I cant take this! how will my friend get married to the one Ive ever wanted all my life Come to think of the fact that he asked me to be the chief bridesmaid on their day !! What sort of selfish audacity could that be? Ive tried. Ive done all my possible best for this cute Greek god to even nce at me but its all worth less. Christine gets everything always and always even though I look more beautiful than her, shes still the medal price anywhere we step our feet into. Do you think Im pouring out my frustrations? No wait until you meet Fanuel Hudson the hottest billionaire then you will understand my gue and my point. In the space of how many days she was going to be the bride of the hottest billionaire, I felt tears sliding down my cheeks in pain. I cant let this happen, no way!! I like Fanuel too much to let this happen, but what will I do!! What can I do? I hit the wall in anger to express my pain but I ended up getting hurt in the process. I need to draft a n. Diana? Huh? I turned sharply to face her, she was in tears. I cant do this babe, hes a monster. She sniffed and I grit my teeth in anger, whats it with this pretense? Really! Im in a deep shit Diana and youre asking me that! Getting married to the hottest billionaire is a shit? Are you trying to mock me? What do you mean You get to unt yourself around him the most, have him whenever you want and gosh.. dont tell shit! Youre happy, stop the pretense please. Youre so unbelievable Diana! Happy? Do you see how he treats me or youre so blinded by this huge crush you have on him without noticing that hes an evil pot of stew that could burn your tongue!! If my tongue gets burnt by him, so be it!!! Look babe, Im sorry. Im just depressed and worried for you, I dont even know why I keep ranting over and over again on something thats already happened. I just hope he treats you right in your marriage. I told her after regretting expressing how I felt about her and Fanuel. It would be bad to reveal that Im not happy for her, it would ruin everything. It would create suspicion and it would be a catastrophe to my ns. Its a contract marriage Christine, its not even real. What? Yeah, its just for a year and thats after I bear him a child. What??!!! A freaking child! That would happen over my dead body! A contract marriage is not that bad, at least the contract will end but that child wont work in any way. Wont you say something? I really dont know what to say, you need to agree to the terms of the contract, theres nothing you can do right now or he will change his next line of action. Thats my worst fear right now Dee, hes this arrogant bastard that gets things done his own way. shhh. close your eyes and imagine none of this actually happened, its going to be fine Christine. I told her and engulfed her in a hug and she sighed in depression. Easton Pov. Ive checked everywhere Mum, I cant find it. Are you sure you didnt leave it outside or somewhere? I didnt mum, that bracelet is always on my wrists, you know what mum dont worryI will look for it alone, thanks a lot for trying. Be fine ok? Have you heard from your sister? Nope Cant you visit? I dont know if thats allowed mum If you dont try, you wouldnt know I will try. Mum said and exited the room, That bracelet is taking a troll on me right now. Its always on my wrists until the day I visit that bar, yes! That bar. I think I kind of misced it there. I need to go there immediately, thats the only thing Christine has of me and I cant let that miss just like that. I reached the bar and I was lucky enough to meet the bartender that attended to me. Hey! Hi man, you came backwe have a new blue cocktail that will totally swoon you off. Thanks but Im not here for that.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. Really? Yeah, the other night I was hereI kind of dropped my bracelet and I forgot to take it along with me, did you by any chance see it? Bracelet?

Nope, they donte here often. he was here with Fanuel Hudson. What? Yeah, they came together with some other guy. Fanuel Hudson? Who could it be?

You know what, thank you for the information. Youre wee, just dont forget to drop by, the wine will be waiting for you. He said and I shook my head before exiting the bar. He has a way of marketing his products till the veryst minute, if I wasnt here for my bracelet I would have bought that new cocktail wine but too bad Im not interested. Chapter 21: The book is thorn CHAPTER TWENTY ONE. Authors Pov. It was past midnight when Christine was thirsty, she tossed around her bed and couldnt get any sleep. She was confused and her head was in a Haywire. She was getting married!! Wow! To whom actually? An arrogant monster, she pitied her life for the next one year. She imagines how many ps and blows she will receive from him. She imagines the torture of getting to see him every time close and his gorgeous body, his stylish aura and authoritative tone. Gosh, will they be sleeping on the bed together? Will they sit close to each other? Christine hit her head on the wall as she reached for the fridge to get a bottle of water, she gulped it till the contents finished. She reached for a Fruit and munch on it before returning back to the bed. Dianay peacefully in her sleep and Christine sighs in confusion. Something seems weird about her friend, she just cant fathom what it is but she feels ufortable, it seems she has something in her sleeves shes yet to reveal, she sees how shamelessly she gushes over Fanuel and parades herself at the entrance of his room. Jayden has this dislike for her, he cant just hide it. He had warned her never to clean up his room again, bhe had warned her never to serve him ore close to him. now she finds that really weird. Shes been meaning to ask him but never gets a chance to meet him in person.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. Now theres Laurel, shes no longer here with her but at the exterior part of the building. Shes got thousands of questions to ask but no ess, now shes getting married, how possible will that be right now. She opened the door slowly and took a walk in the passage of the mansion. It was beautifulthe bright chandeliers sparkled brightly and gave it a heavenly sight to behold. She kept walking and passing doors, ncing at every beautiful flower and medal, touching every item as if the night was thest night she had. She reached a slightly opened door confused on who was inside, curiosity got the best of her and she peeped inside. She regretted doing that with all her heart as she was about peeking back to her former position. Dont even bother, juste inside. Fanuel said with his back facing the door, he had sensed footstepsing nearer until it stopped right at the door, without thinking he knew someone was checking on him. Christine swallowed hard, what the heck was he doing here at this time of the night? It was a study room no doubt but he had his own right in his room! Why did he leave his room upstairs to study here? I knew it will be you, the table is in a mess; clean it up Ok Be careful of those books, every words written there cost over a thousand dors per letters, not a pinch of it must be torn Ok Make sure to take the files to my room when youre done Ok Are you high or something? No Whats it with such foolish response Nothing. Get the fuck out and do as I said. Ok Fanuel sneered at her, shes doing that on purpose and she knows it. He wonders why she wasnt asleep at this time. He watched her bent over and arranged the books in a pile and the files in one piece. She looked innocent, but she wasnt to fool him. Her dads blood runs in her veins and shes no different from him, bunch of thieves everywhere. She gasped. Shit! He had said that Loud. Arent you a thief? why do you stare, get these things out of my sight? I didnt steal anything, and Im not stealing anything now. why do you keep calling me names? Are you asking me that right now? Are you a stick? He gasped at her words. What did you just say? Fanuel Hudson, just because youve got the world at your feet doesnt give you the right to treat me like trash, Im human!! I had a life before all this madness, I never really cared about your existence!!! I dont give a fuck. Ive been faithful to your demands and I did every damn thing you said like a pauper! You hit me at every slight moment you get and I smile at it. You think I dont know how to retaliate huh!! Oh Mr billionaire, you think youre perfect right? What audaci.. Im not done!! She cuts him off as tears welled in her eyes. The fact that my dad did a despicable crime doesnt mean Im capable of doing such shit, STOP RUBBING IT ON MY FACE!! I dont care what you do to me right now, beat me up if you want to but you know what? I HATE YOU FANUEL!! I detest your attitude and I know you dont care but dont you ever call me thief again, Im really being calm because I dont have a choice, You dont also want to know the tigress in me!! Her eyes zed in anger as she stomped out of the study room, leaving Fanuel in aplete shock. She was really mad at him and couldnt control her anger, she didnt hate him at all, she hated herself!! She hated the fact that she liked how beautiful he looked no matter his harshness. She hated the fact that she he looked effortlessly sexy and fucking intelligent, that he affected her without him being close, that his anger made him looked more ravishing than before. She hated herself!!!! Fanuel was frozen! No, he sat down. No girl in his entire history had talked back at him, she fired back at him and hes fidgeting. In rage!!! She would pay for doing that, no one talks back to him. Christine walked so fast and blindly that she didnt notice someoneing, she bumped hard at the person and all the files and books went flying in the air. She crashed herself on the floor and hit her bum in the process. Jeez!!! Im so sorry, who got you pissed? Why are you awake by this time Christine? Jayden asked worriedly. Who gave you that bracelet? Oh my God! The book is thorn!! Chapter 22: Suicide mission CHAPTER TWENTY TWO. Jaydens Pov. She was fidgeting in fear as she stared at the book before her, her hands were still on my wrists when Fanuel walked in on us. He scoffed at the position we were in and was about to pass when he took notice of the book, the front cover tore as a result from the force of the fall. What the actual hell?!! I had a fall. She shakily said. Ask if I care. Im sorry, it was unintentional. I told you the consequences of tearing a piece of that book you witty shit!! No, you didnt, She replied, not breaking eye contact with him.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. You deceptive piece of trash, how dare you? You just called me a Liar!! Fanuel none of this is her fault. I intervened when I noticed his anger riling up. Now just shut the fuck up, and stay out of this. Its my fault okay, I bumped into her and tore it in the process. I can get the publisher to provide a new copy for you. What is wrong with you? Did I ask for your opinion just now? Does it look like I give a shit about what you said now? You never gave a shit about what anyone said, its always been you Fanuel, behaving like a douchebag always.. will you just for once listen to me that its not her fault? Youre going to the basement!! I gasped in horror. What the f?k, no way! Shut up Jayden! Christine or whatever trash you call yourself, youre cleaning up the basement for the next two days, when youre done with that youre getting into the hot machine to clean yourself up and prepare for the wedding, I wouldnt want you to appear before the press looking all haggard and shabby. Dont do this Fanuel, please I beg youthat ce has been abandoned for years. Jayden, I think its high time you stayed away from my fiancee. stop parading around trying to defend her, youre not Jesus Christ! Fanuel!! Give her whatever punishment but not go to the basement!! Are you even human at all!! Dont you think for a second what might happen there, Its dangerousours is not just any kind of basement please. You have from now till the third day to clean that mess in the basement!! He told Christine and walked away leaving me in an utmost shock. I turned to face Christine as her face was already filled with tears, I facepalm myself as I pulled her into a hug. She doesnt deserve all of these one bit, shes just an innocent girl who got herself entangled in a web of her fathers crime. Damn!! Shes as beautiful as a model and Fanuel isnt seeing all of this, hes just blinded by the hatred for her fathers crime. I will try to get you out of this mess, I promise. I whispered into her ear. Its no use Jayden, hes damn serious. You cant go there Christine, dont even try that. This is what my dad put me Into, this is my fate; I have no choice. Christine.. I cant appreciate you enough for always protecting me, I dont deserve this but you give me a reason to feel loved and protected, thank you. Cut the crap Christine, I would do more. But why? I imagine myself having a younger sister and seeing her going through all these, I would go crazyI might not have a sister but I see you as one and I would do all it takes to protect you from my brother even when you get married. She sighed in depression when I said that, worry clouded her face and she bit her lips. You dont have to get married to him, you know that right? Thats my only chance of getting freed. Thats not it, the police could still find your dad. For how long? Something that looks like a closed case to them, that man is gone Jayden. Something can still be done to avoid signing that contract, like how the fuck will you bear him a child?!!! I dont know either! Im trying so hard not to think about it, but theres nothing I can do, I want to be free from him and I have just a year. I sigh deeply. If you need anybody to talk to anytime and any day, dont fail to call me ok; I will always be there. Thanks Jayden, umm the bracelet? Oh! Yeah about this. I removed it from my wrists. I saw this in a bar I went to, it seems a guy dropped it and I tried to look for him but he was gone. She gasped and a tear trickled down her face. Its for my brother, see. She showed me her bracelet and it matched the one I was holding. Your brother? Yes, he made this for me and he had his own.. he never jokes with it as he gets angry anytime I misced mine or forgot to put it on, maybe it slipped off from his wrist.. he would be so worried right now. Sorry about that, I wished I could give it to him but I dont know where he is at the moment, take it; you can keep it. No! Please keep it, I would rather give it to you than having both bracelets She smiled and pushed the bracelet back into my hands. Thank you, Whats your brothers name? So that Incase I get to see him anywhere, I wont get punched Oh my goodness! Sheughed. Easton isnt like that, he would politely ask where you got it from, his name is Easton; Easton Mart Ok then, I will make sure not to get kicked in the ass. Of course you wont Fine, please have a good night rest and dont you think of attempting that suicide mission. Have a nice night too. She told me and smiled but something shed in my head almost immediately. Wait! Did you say Easton Mart? Chapter 23: The basement CHAPTER TWENTY THREE. Christine Pov. Holy crap! The basement? How will he want you to go to such a deadly ce? The basement is an abandoned building for years thats yet to undergoplete construction of it. Its a ce where polluted chemicals were poured into the ce and its as oily and stinking as fuck! What did you do this time around Christine? Laurel told me and I felt chills cover my whole skin. Why in the world would Fanuel want me to go to an upleted basement covered with chemicals? Does he hate me that much? Any drop on my skin can destroy my body! what is wrong with him, why does it get so monstrous each day he sights me? Christine what did you do again? Laurel shook my hands. It was past midnight when I thought I could take a walk, you know my love for this aesthetic building so I kept walking and ncing at anything and any door thates my way. I kept checking doors upon doors until I saw a particr one that was opened and I foolishly peeked inside and that is where my curiosity hasnded me. I mistakenly tore the book he warned me about after I collided with his brother while leaving the room. Now here I am about to go into a suicide mission and I dont know what to do, even though he has warned me not to try such shit, Fanuel Hudson wont take any of that, that guy is a psychopath. He just wants the horrifying part of me to diminish. Babe, you need to be extremely careful. I almost passed out when I heard the news about you getting married to him. How will you survive with such shitty person? I really dont know Laurel but this is my only chance of getting freed by him, theres a very slim chance of my father being found or himing back forever so I better take this risk and get the hell out of this ce. Wishing you the very best and you better get going before you get caught. You are not allowed in here, youre meant to be in the interior part of the room always except if you were sent an errand downstairs I wouldnt want Fanuel to double the punishment given to you. No! you know why I took the risk toe and see you here so stop pretending as if you dont know why Im here. Christine, whatever you think I know its totally wrong. I dont know whatever is in your mind, I took the ne actually I just want you to be careful. Why should I be careful and how do you know that I was here for the ne? I knew something was off about that ne Laurel, is there anything youre hiding from me? Im hiding nothing from you Christine and even if I am , I cant tell you shit right now, I just want you to go and be careful. One innocent dove around you might be carrying dangerous venom which might sting you to death. Christine please , I need you to go right now. Laurel said dismissively, I know shes trying to protect me but at the same time shes hiding something from me which I will soon find out no matter what happens. I nodded at her and came out from the exterior boys quarters mansion. Its still so beautiful, the only difference is that Laurel isnt with me and I miss every bit of her. I sighed in depression as I came out from the building slowly, I felt an invisible force as someone dragged me from nowhere and we hid at the back of the building. What the heck are you doing here? Do you want Fanuel to unleash his terror on you? I gasped in surprise as I saw his friend, Edward. His hands were wrapped around my waist and his body was hovering over me covering me in the process. This ce is out of bounds for maids in the interior room, please stay here until Fanuel gets inside. I nodded shakily as I stared at him, I blushed hard at the position we were. I couldnt even say anything because his hands were sps over my mouth. His phones ringing tone zed loudly and he cursed. Shit! Its Fanuel. He pushed me to his back as he went out to receive the call. I panicked in fear as I imagined what Fanuel would do if he saw me here. He was getting scarier by the day and Im yet to finish my first Lucifers mission. Hes gone, you cane out now He said smiling at me. Thank you Ouch! Im hurt. Really why? I was thinking you would call me pretty like thest time But your name isnt pretty, I said that because you look pretty. He bit his lips andughed when I said that. I was only joking, you didnt have to exin why you called me that. I have to exin pretty things for a pretty person, Im sorry but I have to go. Are you avoiding me? Youre always getting out of my sight. Im sorry, but its not in my ce to talk to Mr Fanuels friend, especially for a long time. Why. Cause hes my boss. And you think I cant be your boss? I never said so.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. You think I cant give orders too. Im sorry Edward but I have to go right now. The Punishment I have is already a scary one, adding another one to it would be disastrous. I told him and I walked away from him but he held my hand. Punishment? Yeah Really? Is it not just cleaning his room or doing the dishes or scrubbing the floor or any menial chores? I wish Really so what punishment? Washing his cars? I would have been delighted Can you just tell me? Mr Edward, your friend is waiting insidenothing will change if I tell you, its likely you might worsen the situation. Gosh!! Really. Hmmmmaybe I cant believe you hate me that much. Im cleaning up the basement, happy now? Holy Ghost blood!! What? Please drop that face, its scary Iming with you He said and I stared at him in shock. Chapter 24: No longer interested CHAPTER 24. Fanuels Pov. We were seated in the sky viewer office with the CEO of Oak Bay Mining industry. The bald head Man seemed to be having fun as he kept declining every suggestion we made. Jayden refused toe over so I literally dragged Edward. The dude is always free as he has workers around his beck and calls running a fashion line for him. The secretary, ountant, and the head of department are present too. Im yet to have a new manager and I dont think I will have any time soon. We cant concede to your terms Mr Fanuel, My board members are already on the trail to recover their funds by all means. The case has been adjourned to court and its left for you to appear before the court next week or the Registrar ofpanies will shut down yourpany for fraudulent bankruptcy of otherpanies investments. We are here because we dont want to appear before the court. We just need time to work out your reasons for the investment in Hudsons chemicals, we would get to work as soon as possible but next week isnt enough to get the proper equipment and professionals to start this project. Mr Fanuel, Thepany as a whole is no longer interested in the project, the contract was already terminated the day yourpany failed to carry on the project till the deadline, We want our money back! And thats why Im saying that will take time! Im trying so hard not to yell at this Man, Like doesnt he get it? Yes! He needs a refund but its going to take time. I need to get married and sign the billion dor contract. We need to start working at the presidential white house basement to get at least half of the payment to clear their pending contract. Even if they will pay us any money right now, it wont still be enough to clear what they invested! Mr Kyle, all Im saying is that.. Taking us to court wont do any of us good, It wont clear the debt faster and it wont make thepany carry on its activities once its shut down. Exactly! He eximed. What?N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Thats exactly what we want! For yourpany to be shut down, so we can let our eyes and ears rest in peace from the media derations, promotions and congrattory news everywhere I balled my fingers into a fist in anger as I stared intently at him. So youre directly saying Youre jealous of their sess in the chemical industry? Edward asked in surprise. No Im not jealous, Im pissed!! Wow The ountant gasped and we all stared at him. I hate the fact that your father, Hudson took away every opportunity Oak Bay should have gotten, he won contracts with federal ministries and presidential personalities! He robbed us the chance to explore our expertise! I hate the fact that yourpany is one of the influential, toppest, and richestpany in the whole of the fucking America!! And now that is crumbling gives me nothing but joy, Thepany would soon shut down and Oak bay can take over New Jersey! We would be able to breathe and stop hearing about the billionaires handsome son running all over our faces everyday. He banged the table in anger and Iughed. Iughed so hard that everyone got confused. Wow! Thats a very sweet confession. I never knew you were so much in love with Hudsons chemical technologies. I tell him sarcastically. What Jayden said was actually right, Forget the smiles and investment; they actually want your downfall. Thank you for fueling the passion in me, Mr Kyle. Now I know that Oak Bay has the best interest in ourpany. Get rid of the sarcasm Fanuel, Youre already doomed and theres nothing you can do about it. See you in court and please leave my office. I signaled my board members to get up and I smiled deadly at him. The attribute you mentioned was the Hudson Cruise Style of sess. What youre about to hear, see and experience is that of Fanuel Hudson. Its going to be earth shattering!! I will pay your debt and I will wipe off thispany from the face of this earth when Im back!! Mark my words! I told him and I swore to see him shake in fear, I smiled within and I left the building. The Broadcastingwork and the press crew were all over me the moment I stepped out, trying their best to shove phones, mic, speaker and microchips in my mouth. I seethed with anger and surprise, these douchebags! Mr Fanuel, are you finally sealing the contract with Oakbay? What were the terms and conditions given regarding the pending contract of Oak Bay? How do you feel knowing thepany is going to shut down as a result of your failure? Youre to appear before the court next week. What are the slim chances of winning? When are you getting married, and why is your fiances identity hidden? My men tried to shove them off but I stopped them, I cant keep running away from these questions. Its okay, let me answer them. I told them and they nodded. The contract is yet to reach final agreement and were totally working on that, probably by the end of this week. As regards to your wedding, are you getting married in a bid to save thepany from shutting down or because you are in love with her? A reporter asked. Im getting married because its high time I got married. Fanuel Hudson, theres a 60 percent possibility that yourpany might likely shut down, what are you doing about this? A lot, and I got it all covered. Hudson chemical technologies isnt going to shut down anytime soon and we arent appearing before the court. We are making progress in clearing every pending contract, especially the ones outside the country, we willpensate for the time wasted and the inconveniences we put them through. Your manager who made away with millions, how far have you gone with the investigations? The FBI are on it and hopefully, well get the culprit. Are you in love with your fiancee or is it an arranged marriage? I gasped at the reporter who asked such a question. Chapter 25: The alarm CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE. Fanuel. I made my way through the press and entered the Silver Rolls Royce parked in front of Oak Bay mining industries as Cole drove in speed past them. They would ask unending questions if I had continued standing there, those reporters who always behaved like detectives! You look flushed, Is it because of thest question that thedy reporter asked? Edward asked, staring at me. Why would she even have a hint of that, I almost screamed at her to ask HOW THE HECK DID YOU EVEN KNOW THAT!! Then you would have blew everything up with your stupid anger Gosh, what a bunch of scallywags! I loosened my time and rested on the head rest of the car enjoying the cool air conditioner. You should be prepared bro, cause more areing. What do you mean? The questions of course, Your so-called fiance doesnt even have a media status. You know nothing about her social life, on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. They would start asking about her financial position and who her dad is. I never thought of that Edward. I sigh in thoughts. What were you even thinking of agreeing to marry a low ss? Your name will be flying everywhere in magazines,Fanuel Hudson is getting married to a Maid or Fanuel Hudson stooped so low to marry a Pauper or Fanuel Hudson marries a low hidden identity or Fa. Enough!!! Im just telling the truth.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. Youre mocking me. Im not, Im happy for you. I mean who would have thought that the almighty Fanuel would get married to a girl from a low ss, Like what that actual fuck?!! Her dad was the ex manegaer of Hudson chemical technologies, so fuck offshes wealthy Im very sure the press would love that juicy story. Fanuel Hudson getting married to the daughter of a thief. Whats your problem dude? Youre just pissed at the truth, you had better ept that now and look for a way to tackle this before Christine flops in front of the press, You dont know a thing about her and how she behaves in public but you know how to give her punishment like an incarnate of hell. Edward was right! Christine might flop, if she is going to be my wife she needs to get used to the press. But shes as shaky and fearful as a cockroach. Shes brave too and its all confusing, she needs to act like all of this is real and always smile at the press. Shit!! We are getting married in a few days and all Im concerned about is my hatred for her. I have never coached her on how to avoid questions and to pose herself as a CEOs wife. Damn!! She annoyed me, and I gave her what she wanted. By making her go to the basement? When was thest time you stepped your foot in there ever since the corrosives and chemical paints were filtered in there. You even said that you need experts in cleaning up the whole ce and reconstructing it to its good shape, do you think those experts would go there without getting the medical equipment used in protecting themselves? My eyes snapped open, inhaling those chemicals can be very dangerous to the body system and might trigger the heart and kidney. Oh my God! For the first time in my life I feel scared, my throat became dry and my palms be sweaty. Cole speed up please, we need to get Christine out of there. Oh really! Dude youre so unbelievable. Can you stop making me feel so horrible? She pushed me to do it and I did that without thinking! Your hatred for her amazes me, you still want to get married to her! Just know that if you kill her or she gets any healthplications because of this, you might go to jail. Godforbid, why cant you just be optimistic for once! And wait. who told who she was going to work in the basement? I saw her whileing to meet you this morning, she looked distressed, tired and worried. I forcefully asked her and she told me,I even opted to go in there with her but she fled. Are you crazy!!! Opted to go in there with her? Are you high or something? Why would you even think of doing such a thing? Why wont I do that, so you care about what happens to me and not Christine, the girl you im you want to marrywow! I dont give a shit about all this right now, what Im concerned about is about her getting affected by those corrosives, I totally forgot that it was filtered there I said and he raised his brows at me. If you hate her that much, why do you still want to marry her, I mean you can always sign a contract with your ex, shes still head over heels in love with you. Mirabel is as clingy and possessive as fuck!! But Christine isnt right, you want to take control of her and lead her to her early grave right? Cole when you reach the house, let me know. I need to shut my eyes from this panel of judges. Were home already, boss. He says and I sit up, Edward kept staring at me and checking his wrist watch, he was giving me this *God wont forgive you look* and I threw my face to the other side and waited for the car toe to a halt. Its the way they keep defending her that pisses me off, I mean no one is on my side, shes always getting this attention. First its my brother, now its my friend. I dont know but I dont like it at all when they say nice things about her or try to defend her actions and my treatment towards her, it riles me up. Anyway, Im getting married to her soon and she will soon be mine. I stepped down from the car and walked briskly to the mansion. It was in a frenzy, an rm zed the whole building loudly and maids were running helter skelter. I saw a Young guy sitting, confused about whats happening around and stood up the moment he sighted me. Jayden came over panicking and gasped on seeing him. Whats happening Jayden? I left the room the moment I heard the sound, they said its from the basement. Chapter 26: Where the hell is my sister? CHAPTER TWENTY SIX. Christines Pov. I wore the leather boots and the stic hand gloves on my tiny hands, I took the mopping stick and a pail with a brush and packer for cleaning, I couldnt use the machine there cause its definitely going to mess it up. Laurel had advised me to make use of all these when going to the basement. I avoided Jayden at all costs and used the elevator. He had warned me but its useless, I better do it now and get done with the work rather than postponing it till further notice. The door slid open and I gasped in fear. It was pitch dark in here and I couldnt locate the switch. I took a step and it was slippery, the ce was drenched with chemicals and it reeked of polluted oxygen. Despite the mask I wore, the nostalgic stench hit me hard. I couldnt work in darkness, I turned my back to enter the elevator to get amp or to ask Laurel where to find the switch but I couldnt find it again. The elevator disappeared. My heart thumped in fear and my eyes cleared at once. Laurel had told me! You couldnte back the same way you reached the basement. You had to use the secret passage door at the extreme end of the staircase leading straight to the living room. How on earth would I do that in darkness? The smell was so much that I felt my stomach churning, I badly wanted to throw up. I took another blind step and another one. I was progressing, all I needed to do was to locate the walls and trace it to where the staircase was. I kept walking blindly until I slipped into a puddle of what I dont know. It was oily and smelled terribly abandoned for months. I need to get up but the smell is getting to the whole part of my stomach as I threw arge amount of vomit. I was so irritated that I didnt imagine seeing the mess if there was light. I struggled to get up and I took a very slow step, I was extremely slow to avoid falling into another rubbish oil. My head was hazy and Im feeling dizzy. A piercing pain sliced inside my stomach and I was muffled in pain. I need to get out of here, the chemicals are reacting in my body and its not good. I felt a cool breezeing from a particr direction and I followed it blindly, maybe Im almost there. I sigh in relief when I finally touch the wall. The cool breeze was nearer and I traced my hands on the wall as I walked towards it. I kept moving until an invisible sharp object pierced my fingers and tore the flesh of my arm, I screamed in pain and hit my hand in the process. A Loud wailing rm signifying danger zed though, I fell down in fear and red lights shed through the horrifying dark basement. I winced in pain as I looked around, I wasnt even close to the wall! It was an Electric generating nt which stood huge in the middle, zing and Screaming. Blood seeped out of my skin and I wailed in pain. Fanuel knew all of this and he still insisted on making mee here. Does he adore money so much that he doesnt give a shit about human life? He hates me so much and it hurts like hell. Webb caused all of this!! And even if someone else did it, is this how he would have treated such a person? Doesnt he have a conscience? Which part of hell did he resurrected from? And I fucking like him!! I cant believe that I drool when he stands close to me, I get worried when he doesnt eat or sleep well, I hope and wish better things for him when he doesnt give a fuck!! To hell with him!!! I yelled in anger and let the tears flow! I wiped it off in anger and tried to stand up, I shouldnt let anything happen to me. Apparently, he wants me to die but I wont give up! I wont die no matter what. I crashed back to the ground in pain, my eyes wer getting dizzy and dizzy and.. I passed out. ************ Jayden Pov. I gasped in horror. Easton? His eyes were still fixed on me and I could tell hes shocked as well. Jade? Damn! Hes the only one that calls me that, I cant believe this. What the heck! He shouted and engulfed me into a bear hug. You disappeared buddy, I called , I texted you, I whatsapp you, I tweeted, and you were off!! Iined. Dad didnt let me stay in New Jersey. I had a schrship in New York and I left. I couldnt call because I foolishly left my phone in the airport that day. I cried, man. I was only able to contact my dad through the school management, Im so sorry.. what the actual fuck are you doing In this mansion? Easton said and I chuckled. Im Hudson Cruizs son, and this is my brother Fanuel Hudson. His countenance changed immediately and he sneered at me. What in Gods name? Now who the hell is this shit and can someone tell me why the rm is zing? Fanuel yelled and I red at him. Easton is Christines brother, My best friend whom I met in high school but parted ways and lost contact. No wonder I connected the dots the night Christine had mentioned his name. This is not good, My brother is a big chunk to his sister and hes here at the wrong time. My name is Easton Webb, not shit. The rm? He asked dismissively and Edward stood up at once. Could it be fire?N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. We all stare at him in shock. mon guys, Im just kidding. Can you just be serious for once, Im fucking going crazy here. Fanuel said and Mum emerged from nowhere. Im here to see my sister, Christine Webb My eyes widened and Fanuel turned to look at him, Mum gasped in horror and yelled. Who is in the basement!!! That chemical corrosives is enough to kill anybody Mum just go inside please, we got this sorted out. I told her but she came forward. Wheres Christine? Whats going on, where the fuck is my sister? Easton yelled. Dont you fucking raise your voice at me next time, you shit!! Fanuel red at Easton who sent a heavy crashing blow on his nose. Call me shit again, and I will rip out that tongue of yours!! Now where the hell is my sister!!! Chapter 27: My property CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN. Jayden Pov. Sheid there peacefully as we all stared at her in silence. The doctor said shes going to regain consciousness once the drip is infused totally into her to minimize the chemical intake that was in her body.. Easton was boiling, his fist was tightened and ready to knock anyone off. Fanuel was nonchnt about everything as he scrolled randomly on his phone, Edward fell asleep on the couch in the process of waiting for her to regain consciousness.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. I made a suggestion for us to leave her alone, thene backter to check on her but the eyes Easton gave to me was bizzare, it could kill so I kept quiet. Fanuel would never leave Easton alone with his sister cause he felt that Easton will escape with her, we were left with no option than to stick in here in this room. I sighed and rubbed my eyes, I was feeling sleepy when I heard a knock on the door. We werent expecting anybody so we wondered who it could be. Come in I said and Diana poked her head in and stepped inside. I havent heard from my friend, I wanted to know how shes faring. Are you high? Fanuel and I said together and she flinched. I was seething, what audacity does she even have to step in here while we were actually here! I just. oh my Easton She broke down and went to hug my friend, I scoff. Shh. its ok love, its fine Easton hugged her and petted her back. Rubbish! I disliked this girl. Its so obvious that shes got something under her sleeves, I hate how she prides herself everywhere just to get noticed. While serving food, she had to expose half of her cleavages to the world, while cleaning she had to bend every of her ass up in the air, while washing;a good amount of water must be sshed on her skin to render her wet. Tch! Just to get noticed by Fanuel who doesnt even take a glimpse of her existence. She hade to my room once touching things and admiring the whole ce, dont get me wrong it wasnt bad at all but when ites to her, it irks me a lot. Can you get the fuck out of this ce! Fanuel said cooly at Diana who still had her body wrapped against Easton. I just want to know how my friend is, cant you see that shes not even movingwhy are you depriving me of knowing about her welfare she asked in sobs and i scoff more loudly. Youve gone nuts to tell me that shit, who authorized you to step in your foot in the Hudsons room without permission!! Fanuel was still trying to act cool, hes still trying to digest the fact that he caused this whole drama but this girl is riling him up. She has every right to see her friend. Eastons said I wasnt talking to you. You dont need to talk to me, Im just stating facts. Fanuel bit his lips and smiled, he kept quiet and sat down. Diana or whatever trash is your name, get out! She stays! Christine is also her sister! Who the actual fuck are you kid? Im not a kid dude, Im here for my sister who lost consciousness as a result of a chemical intake in this mansion! you dont only treat people like trash, you push them to their graves and now you dont want them to witness how much of a psychopath you are!! Easton, listen No Jayden! I know hes your brother but Im so disappointed in you! Even if you never knew she was my sister, is this how you should have treated someone else? Shes not a thief. He cut me off and his voice cracked with emotion. Shes never a thief, shes here because of some douchebag and all you do is sit and watch your wonderful brother squeeze life out of her, Just because you have the money and power to hold her hostages doesnt mean any of this is right, the real culprit is out there roaming free!! This is my house, my room, my decision and i dont give a fuck about how youre feeling right now or how you feel, If she wasnt sturbborn she wouldnt have found herself here. I guess your fathers blood runs in her veins, blood of thieves! I gasped at Fanuel and before I knew it Easton pounced on him, swerved a punch on his nose and sttered blows on his belly. Diana screamed in horror and I pushed her out of the room with anger. Edward stood up and separated Fanuel from the raging Easton. Damn it!! Fanuel is so weak to even fight back!! The only thing he knows how to do is givemands with his bodyguards everywhere before him. Whats up with you guys everytime!!! Christine needs as much rest as possible and this is how you make it all feel better. Edward talked harshly but calmly in a bid not to wake Christine up. Fanuel spat out blood and groaned, staring intently at Easton who red at him. Dont you ever in your spoiled rich life call my sisters blood as her fathers, she has her own blood and a life thats as beautiful as that of a thief. You might be holding my sister hostage doesnt mean shes your property to trash!! Easton yelled. Shes my property dummy, until your father returns with my money! Fanuel groans in pain and continues. Let this be the first andst time I see you anywhere in this mansion, I will give you a hundred more beatings than what youre doing to me right now? Easton scoffed. With your men? See, youre not even man enough! Every damn thing has to do with your men, pray very hard to get rich forever or you will live a very pathetic lifestyle! What can you even do for yourself? You think everything is about money? Dare try me not to see my sister and I will rap to the press how you almost killed my sister with a chemical, I will beautifully rap so sweetly that you will find yourself answering questions in the court, I might not be rich but I know the rule ofw of this country. Fanuel smiled at him and replied. By then, she will be my property and you will not have a say in whatever thing I wish to do with my wife. Eastons eyes widened as Fanuelughed out, he dragged his injured self out of the room and he turned to stare at me in shock. Please dont tell me they are getting married. Chapter 28: A Rockstar CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT. Diana. Jayden!!! I dont know what is wrong with him? I dont get this hatred he has towards me since day one, like what is it? Why would he push me out of the room in that manner? I just wanted to know how she was faring or whether she would wake up, I wish she wouldnt! That would give me the opportunity to carry out my n and be the wife of Fanuel Hudson. Fanuel might not have the hots for me now but when he gets married, he will learn to love me. Thats what all men do right? Easton is one person who is very overprotective when ites to his sister. He would do anything to keep her safe and protect her away from the people who might want to hurt her, he would be great for her n. I could talk to him about the marriage and make him cause a scene on that day or I could exin how dangerous of a person Fanuel is to her sister. What sort of rubbish am I even thinking? This is Fanuel Hudson we are talking about! That dude gets what he wants and nobody can stop that! What should I do? Are you thinking of another perfect n? I was startled at that voice and turned sharply to the person. Laurel! I gasped. What are you doing here? Youre banned from entering here! Its okay darling dont fret, Jayden called me. I wont tell anyone what you did but I will tell everyone every damn thing if anything bad happens to Christine. What do you mean by such trash you spewed out? It would be nice if you skipped the nonsense ignorance youre portraying, Just know that if anything happens to my friend, I will use that diamond ne you stole and put it in her pockets to strangle life out of you; keep nning and dreaming bigwho knows you might be the next Joseph. .. I didnt Shhh.. dont try that, its going to be too expensive to lie, like I said keep nning and dreaming big, its not going to be easy being the wife of Fanuel Hudson, its an honor darling so I support you; just know that Im watching you. Laurel said and passed leaving me in a myriad of fear and confusion. How did she.? How did she know all of that, damn it!!! I need to get rid of her as soon as possible, shes going to be a hindrance to everything! I walked hastily towards the room when I saw Fanuel, he was bruised and staggering; Easton hit him so hard. I rushed to him to assist him, I draped his arm on my shoulders for support but he pushed me away so that I fell down. Damn it!! Youre Christines friend right? I nodded at him. You will apany me to a mall to pick a wedding dress. I gasped in surprise. I will apany you? Like you? And youre to tell the press that your sister, my fiance is out of the country and will be returning this week, in case any of themes lingering What? Yeah, so prepare!! In the next one hour you should be done while I get done with this shit all over my face. He said and entered inside the moment the door slid open. I gritted my teeth in anger, Fiancee!!! What the hell? Hes going out to pick a wedding dress by himself for her when he has thousands of people andpanies to do that for him, but atleast, Im going out with him. I better keep quiet and enjoy it while itsts. ********* It was lovely!! I went to the best fashion bridal mall and I saw the finest things in life, I kept parading myself around and was grinning really hard when they took pictures of me as his fiancee. He was there sitting all in his glory and scrolling on his phone like a Greek God. Fanuel was perfect and fucking sexy. Like what in Gods name did God use when creating him. He gave me orders to choose the most exquisite gown ever and I nodded gleefully. The gown made me shed a tear, it was sparkling!! Ick words to describe how perfect the designs were, it was long and beautiful with a veil clipped to it. The bust of the clothes were beautifully arrayed in crystals and silver stones. The attendant smiled and beckoned me to try it on, I did that without hesitation and I was speechless. I imagined myself wearing this and walking down the aisle with Fanuel. Why not go and show him, he would be swooned before the actual day. Thedy had told me but I declined, this dress isnt even for me, what is the point of taking the best when I can take the ugliest of all!! No I retorted and picked the most wacky dress with the least designs and told Fanuel that Im done with the dress, but he insisted on seeing it and I reluctantly showed it to him.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. Wear it. Hemanded and I grit my teeth and I went inside the dressing room. I came out and he scoffed at me. Do you think that would suit your friend, you look like an ugly Halloween fairy. Please take that shit off and try this. He gave me that same gown I had tried on and I seethed. This is perfect! This is fucking beautiful!! He said and I smiled, for once in my lifeI got a sweetpliment from Hudson. Her bust is fuller and the frontal part will fit in perfectly than yours, this should be good. The cloth looks somehow saggy on you, take it off, let me make payment and get the heck out of here. My smile faded and was reced by anger. Her bust is fuller!! Like was he always checking her bust!! What the heck! He made payment and fled out of the ce as if he was being followed. He was avoiding the press and I wanted the press, how ironic!! The drive home was very boring. He was quiet! Its too quiet and its really annoying. He was dressed in a white polo shirt with a BTS logo designed in the front. His Silver ne shone brightly with his name beautifully crafted beneath, his skin was wless as always and his brows were naturally arranged above his icy blue dizzy eyes. He chewed on his gum slowly and his white earrings sparkled, he looked like a rockstar in depression. He was. so lovely and beautiful, I want this man to myself, I want to be able to be close to him this way and see him anytime I want. He turned his face to my direction and I grabbed him to capture his lips. Chapter 29: A prenup CHAPTER TWENTY NINE Christine. Im confused as I climb out of bed. I sincerely hope that this is not what Im thinking. So Im alive! I try to hold my curiosity as I take a shower. I dont even know what day it is, so I change into booty shorts and a T-shirtid neatly on the bed. Wait! Whose room is this? I walk into the living room and Diana doesnt even look at me. I frown as I sit on the Sofas armrest. I know she is sulking. Good morning? I ask carefully. She looks at me and her eyes are zing angrily. Why didnt you tell me? Tell you what? She hits me with the newspaper then storms into the kitchen. I turn the paper and the picture on the front page makes me gasp. I read the headline and my breath hitches in my throat. I stare at the damning words for a whole minute before I close my eyes and shake my head. Im so kicking Fanuels ass. That stupid Mogul. So ording to an unrevealed source as the paper has it, Im getting married to Fanuel in three days time. My picture graces the front page and I dont need a seer to tell me who is behind the whole thing. I reread the nauseating headline for the third time. Public figure and sessful business icons wife is quite the eye turner. I snort; eye turner indeed. Fanuel just keeps messing with me each single day and my dislike for him keeps increasing. Why would he do this? He must have paid a small fortune to have his way with the newspaper. My Mum could sue him for this but obviously she cant because shes no match for his money and he must have the bestwyers in the country. Plus, Im the sacrificialmb for my dads sin and that will be one of his strongholds against me in court. I really dont understand what he is upto. Jayden came over and handed over his phone to me cause my brothers call came through and my heart skipped a beat. Was he here? We havent talked much ever since I was brought here and I know just too well why hes calling. Hi EastonN?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Hey! d youre awake, why didnt you tell your favorite brother that youre getting married to a monster? I grit my teeth angrily. Damn Fanuel. What should I tell my brother right now? He sounds so hurt and disturbed, If I tell him that its a stupid contract to ckmail me, then all hell will break loose and hell will be contacting hiswyer in the next one second. Dont be surprised! Easton has friends! Im wise enough not to get him into a fight with Fanuel. Hell lose. Im sorry bro, It was kind of sudden and unexpected really because you know like we havent known each other for long and its because of dad and he needs to.. Christine, youre rambling!! I have no idea what you are trying to tell me. Take a deep breath. I close my eyes and sigh. I was going to tell you today. I almost p myself for lying to my brother but thats about the best lie I cane up with. I know that lie Christine. Why the fuck will you hide something as crucial as that from me? You were literally going through hell in the hands of that monster and you made no effort to contact me huh? If I had nevere there yesterday maybe you would have just died and I would havee to hear a dreadful story. He yelled over the phone Oh, you were here? I was there to see you and I was given the sweetest news about you losing consciousness due to the high intake of chemicals in your body. The idiot wasnt even sorry at all but all aggressive and arrogantly professional. I fight the urge to roll my eyes. Please tell me you didnt fight him? Of course I didnt, I kissed him I sigh in depression, I knew Easton so well, he would beat crap out of Fanuel even if hes bears the name Jesus So when did you two agree on this bullshit? Ummh Easton, can we talkter please? Im kind of busy right now. Seriously, how can I tell my brother that were not engaged but apparently were getting married through a contract? Its okay. Take care of yourself, okay? Okay bro. And no more secrets. No more secrets. My head is reeling when he hangs up. What the hell am I supposed to do now? Jeez. Im going mad. I want to hit something so bad. I shoved the phone to Jayden who stared at me with pity. I walk to the kitchen to get myself a cup of coffee. That ought to calm me down. Diana wrings her nose when I go in. Shes all sulky and I totally get it. We dont keep stuff from each other; thats a rule. Things have been happening too fast though and Im barely able to catch up. Can I just say everything? I ask when she keeps ignoring me and she takes a careful sip from her mug before looking at me. Are you going to a spa? You agreed to his terms, are you going to a boutique with him? Dee, Im really sorry. I didnt think it would get to this, at least youre aware of the whole marriage saga, dont get all riled up by this. Im confused as well She sets the mug on the counter. Okay. So youre getting married to Fanuel in three days. What exactly are you going to do, tell me? Im not getting married to him in three days! Its too sudden. Oh darling, that newspaper doesnt run propaganda. They use facts and verified information. Now tell me that youre not getting married. Im not. Then why would they do such a thing? I think Fanuel paid them to do that. Okay, you lost me there. **** Its almost 1900 hours when I eventually leave for my ce. Fanuel has sent me a text to go visit my Mum with his driver, Cole and warned me not to try anything shitty. My phone was finally on and everyone including my coursemates has been bombarding me with calls and questions the whole day and I feel angry and drained. He parked the car outside the apartment building and its only after I step out that I realize that cameras are clicking like crazy all around me. Shit. Its the press. Its like all media houses are represented and I can barely move due to the throng of reporters blocking my way. Questions are hurled from every direction. How long have you two been dating? Is it true you ckmailed him into marrying you? What do your parents think? How did you manage to keep your rtionship from the public eye? Where will the wedding take ce? Are you signing a prenup? Is it a marriage contract? I ignore all the questions. To be honest, Im not in the mood for this. I feel tears burning in my eyes. Will I ever have a normal life after this? Why is Fanuel doing this to me? The question is why. Im d when I finally manage to get inside the building and I scramble up the stairs to my house. I lock myself all the way in then lie on the sofa. Im on the edge of throwing a tantrum and I fight hard to keep my calm. I hate drama. The chime from my phone alerts me that I have a new message. I pull my cell phone from my bag and read it with a racing heart. Tell Cole to meet me at Maldives Restaurant in an hour. Come with him. I curse Fanuel under my breath for the hundredth time today. Im tempted to call the number and give him a piece of my mind but Im on the losing end here. He wouldnt even let me exin things to my mum who Ive not even met for a while! Chapter 30: Tell that to the priest CHAPTER THIRTY. Christine? Mum emerged from the room and I rushed to hug her. Tears fell from her eyes and I wiped it off. Youre doing this because of that monster right? Why didnt you tell me? It came so suddenly Mum, Fanuel doesnt give a shit about whatever I think or feel, hes doing this to protect hispany. I sniffed. I know all of this baby, Im just concerned about you! Im the cause of all this, I brought this upon you youre paying dearly for what you dont know. I shouldnt have married, Christine, he brought pain and ripped you off of your virtue but you still kept quiet. Mum broke down into uncontroble tears and I broke down too. Webb has done a lot of damage in my life, he has destroyed me and hes home walking Scot free in Gods nowhere. Its okay mum, the deed has already been done. I cant let anything happen to the two of you, I cant stand that and I must do what I must even IF it means marrying him. Oh Christine, Im so sorry honey I hugged her and patted her to stop crying. Stop it mum, pleasewheres Easton? In his room. Fine, Ill check on him. Christine? I turned to look at her. If theres any need to run from Fanuel Hudson, Run!! I will mum. Easton was typing something on hisptop when I entered his room, his earmuffs rested beautifully on his neck and he was shirtless. You came? He raised his head up and dropped hisptop. Yeah, Im so sorry. I get it Christine, typical you; you dont want me to get worried and all the emotional crap youre about to tell me but you were suffering and going through hell in silence. I couldnt say anything Easton, I had no choice! Fanuel is being Fanuel, he doesnt give a fuck about whatever anyone feels, he takes dad deeds and transfer all aggression to me. I was stuck in a dilemma. He sighed and cupped my chin. I had no idea you were going through all that shit and I deeply apologize, but getting married to him? Christine, have you thought this over? I dont have a choice until dad is found. Is it a kind of a contract? I gasped, it was supposed to be kept a secretEaston will re up. Dont even think of lying to me. Yes, I whisper defeatedly. For how long? A year. Thats better. He said and I raised my brows in surprise. Yes it is, you dont get to stay forever and once the contract is off, youre free. Yeah, you have a point I told him half heartedly as I omitted the part of bearing him a child. My phone chimed and I stood up. I have to get to Easton, Im so sorry but I was given a particr time to spend here. Its okay. He pecked me. Just stay fine, I will still visit though I will. I told him and left for my room. I will be meeting Fanuel in a Maldives hotel. I wonder what his n is? That guy is so bipr and can to something worse at any moment. Id be wise not to provoke him. I pick a dress at random and settle for my ck high heeled ankle boots. Im not trying to impress; far from it. I want to piss him off. I use a bit ofpact powder and foundation then gloss my lips. As ast minute thought, I wear huge dark sunsses and wrap my hair in a scarf. There, the reporters can go hang. They have no chance recognizing me. I leave the room once Im sure that Cole is downstairs. By the time the reporters realize I was the one in a blue dress and a headscarf, Im on my way to the Maldives. Its a huge restaurant. Someone taps me on the shoulder. I turn hastily and its Cole. I thought he had already left! This way maam. He says while showing the way to three dark cars parked right next to the entrance. A chauffeur rushes to open the back door of the middle car and I murmur a thank you as I climb in. Im surprised that Fanuel is not inside but its cool really; at least I have more time to calm down. I dont want tond my ass in jail for killing him. I rest my head on the backrest as the cars cruise down the highway. I have no idea where we are headed but it doesnt matter really. The car eventually pulls up and one of those annoying drivers is already opening my door. We are at Fanuels official ce; I havent been here before so Im taken by surprise. Ady is waiting by the door and she gives me a tiny smile before leading the way. I follow her down a corridor on the first floor to a closed door. Mr Fanuel is waiting for you. Just go in. She gives me that creepy smile again and I nod. The door swings open and I take a deep breath then step inside. Fanuel looks up from theptop on hisp and his gaze goes up and down my body. I want to snap something rude but some rebellious part of me is happy to see him. Christine. He says while standing up. He ces theputer on the nightstand and moves towards me. His gaze is dark and he looks dangerous if anything. His hair is wet and tousled and I bet he just stepped out of the shower. I let out a small gasp when he wraps his warm hand around my wrist and I sure as hell dont like the tingles that go through me at the slight touch. What is wrong with you! I snap as soon as my senses are back and he cocks an eyebrow like he has no idea what on earth Im talking about. Im hungry. Well talk after dinner. Thank God youre alive. He is giving me a bored look and I roll my eyes inwardly. Im not hungry. Well, I am. Come on.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. He tugs my wrist and I curse. Just let me go dammit! I dont want your food. Stop sulking, you dont have to eat. Just keep mepany. And you dont give me orders too And if I dont want to? I wasnt asking. So its an order? More or less. Youre unbelievable Fanuel! I dont appreciate my wife going against my wishes. Dont call me that. Its a fact. The whole world already knows. All thanks to you. You wanted to be difficult and I did the only thing that could convince you. I manage to free my wrist from his grasp and I take a step away from him, crossing my arms over my chest. Why are you doing this? His dark gaze is on me the entire time. Is that even a question? Mypany is at stake!! I shake my head in confusion. You can always get another girl, and whats with the rush. Nothing, maybe I cant wait to control you as mine and unt it around your brother. Were stuck with the marriage thing then. Its Wednesday around noon. I already got a nner and the venue is ready. Invitations are being issued tomorrow I guess. I hold my hands over my ears. If he doesnt stop, then Im going to scream. Shut the hell up! I yell and he raises that damn eyebrow yet again. What do you want Christine? Do you have any idea just how many women are willing to get pregnant for me and be in your position right now? Im trying so hard to be calm but youre riling me up, dont let me hit you!! One of the reasons I dont want to get married to you, youre so irresponsible Tell that to the priest next tomorrow. Chapter 31: Dear engagement party CHAPTER 31. Christine Pov. They were all staring at me as if Ive gone crazy. I was mute and seriously boiling in anger. Donte near me! I seethed at the makeup female artist who red at me. Mr Fanuel would be so mad maam, the party is kicking off in 1 hour and youre still acting stiff necked in getting prepared. I stared at thedy with disgust and hissed. I wasnt going to wear makeup! Im going nowhere and I will p thisdy thats staring at me with hatred. If you really wish to go to the party, why not make yourself up.. you really need it you know. Just because youre a lucky b?t?h getting married to a Hudson doesnt give you rights to talk to me in that manner! Its either you sit tight your big ass here and let me do my job or you keep your stinking mouth shut. My heart is already burning with pains to exchange words with a numskull like you, the best thing to do is get the fuck out with your crew and leave, Im not Interested with your shitty make-up, Im afraid my delicate beautiful face will look like yours. Im still too young to scare people away. She gritted her teeth and smiled. Youre a pain in the ass you bitch!! Youve gotten a privilege to be the next world ss richest wife and youre bbering. You whore!! Just because youve wrapped your legs on his waist doesnt mean that you will be his forever, he will dump you finally dummy. I sent a heavy crashing p to her fair face in anger. How dare you call me a whore? I yelled and she raised her hands to retaliate. Whats going on here? Fanuels deep voice rented the room and the artist crew surged in. It seems they informed him of the messy situation going on. I hissed and sat down back on the chair. Serena? He called and I snorted, he even knew her name. She has refused to get her makeup done and she pped me in the process! She said and Fanuel cocked his head to meet mine. Christine? I threw my head away and the so-called Serena continued. I exined to her how much time we have left to be fast about the makeup so she wont bete for the party but this is what I got in return. She showed him her face and faked a sob. Christine?!!! He raised his voice. You never told me we had an engagement party. I yelled with tears brimming down my face. I just woke up from my siesta to see them standing before me and you expect me to smile and start making rubbish! For once in my life, I also need to be informed of things. Are we really going to have this discussion here? Does it look like I care? Serena, excuse us. He said and they all left leaving the room in total silence. Fanuel grabbed me by the wrist and twisted my arm over making my bone crack from the turn move. Are you riling me up huh? I groaned in pain. I cant do this Fanuel, I dont want this!! I yelled in tears. Now listen to me, youre going to get your shitty face done and wear that gown on the bed to our engagement party. I have dozens of friends and prominent people waiting, I have family and friends who cant wait to see my Fiance and you would behave like a good girl by smiling all through. At the expense of how I feel huh? You just wake up and tell me to do things without even telling me! Excuse me? As what? As your wife to be! Even though all these are fake, I deserve a little respect and not be taken unawares. Tell that to your father when you see him. I cursed under my breath after realising how irrational Fanuel can be, the dude doesnt give a fuck about your decisions, feelings and respect. I cant believe Im asking for a fairytale request before carrying out his wish. This is the life Im stuck in so I shouldnt be surprised when he decides to let me drown in a pool tomorrow, I should be prepared. All thanks to Webb. I roll my eyes when I realize Im being delusional. I mean, Im no Cindere or anything close to that. I shouldnt expect the rich ass guy toe knocking on my door simply because I want a request as to when I want an engagement party to be conducted. The nature of our contract is totally weird and it actually makes meugh. Like honestly, what kind of marriage are we going to have? I know basically nothing about Fanuel, well, apart from the stuff I googled about him. I have no idea whether he has other co rtives and Im sure as hell have no idea about his likes and dislikes. It doesnt seem to bother him though. He is getting married to appease hispany and fulfill the unwritten businessw that states..Thou shalt get married or lose the contract. I roll my eyes. Who am I kidding? I doubt getting married to him could be that pathetic really. I just have to go to work, take some overtime jobs just to kill time. Im calling Serena over, so better behave yourself! I need another artist! What the heck! We are alreadyte! She called me a whore! Im never allowing her to touch my face. He blew out a breath and made a call. Fine, another artist ising overa guy. Better he stared at me and shook his head. I already bought you a gown, I need to see you on it before the D-day I groaned in displeasure, what else will this man ever do without my consent. Dont worry. Youll love it. Do you think you could consult me before making decisions that concern me? Absolutely not. I dont consult anyone, ever. I shake my head before standing up to look at him. If you dont, what kind of a marriage are we going to have? I really dont care. All I want is a wife beside me to save mypany. I close my eyes and fist my hands. I take a deep breath to calm my raging anger. When I reopen my eyes, hes just looking at me wearing that unreadable expression. You need two bridesmaids. You better tag your friends along to meet the designer, otherwise youll have a rather boring wedding.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. I bite my lips to keep my tears at bay, this is my lifeIm stuck in it. Dear engagement party, here Ie. Chapter 32: I want to be in that hell CHAPTER 32. The party was a st! Everything screams wealth and ss and I saw powerful men. Yeah! Powerful men in the finance world. I was acting an ugly role of smiling to everyone that came over to congratte us. Fanuel was oh so loving as he kept looking at me lovingly and having his as wrapped around my waist. Everything was going on perfectly until this pretty girl approached me. I was all alone sitting and looking at the fake scenario before me. Fanuel really has a bad taste indiesugh! Excuse me? Dont get too ttered dear, youre like another piece of trash for his rescue mission Now I felt my anger rising up. Who the fuck are you, Angel Gabrielle? She smiled at me and twirls at me. Im Mirabel dummy, Fanuels girl. I felt this irritating rush of jealousy flowing through my skin. She was so beautiful and ssy and not even a match for me. I swallowed and stared. Wonder what he sees in you, what did you do to him in bed? He must have lost his senses Mirabel, the least you can do is enjoy the party, My Fiances engagement party.. stop being a nuisance. I tell her with a feeling of fulfillment. Yeah! Im the boss here and if she was truly Fanuels girl as she imed, she should be in my shoes right now. I felt someone wrapped his arms around waist and I knew it was him. Nice to have you around Mirabel. He said and she sneered. Cant believe you Fanuel, why her? I thought you were going to eventuallye aroundIm still yours baby. Fanuel scoffed. Im engaged Mirabel, get that into your head and enjoy the party. He dragged me away from her and I rolled my eyes. Whos she? I curiously asked. None of your business. Thanks. Shes my ex, the presidents daughter. I gasped in horror. Why did you leave her? Im not going to have this conversation with you I clicked my tongue and I sighted mum and Eastonsing over. Fanuel cursed under his breath the moment he saw my brother, he kissed me by the cheek and I froze. That wasnt necessary! Hes doing that to spite my brother. What a very disgusting acting role you two disyed, you should win Oscar awards. Easton said not to break eye contact with him. Jayden and Edward walked over to us. I would do that, Im cute already.. any role would fit me We would see that If anything happens to my sister you douchebag. Be nice Easton! Mum hissed Nice to see you Mrs Webb. Fanuel smiled and extended his hands to Mum who rejected his handshake. Its Mrs Gracia. ept my apologies. He bowed which I assumed to be sarcastic. I dont like you a bit Fanuel, but I will hate you the more if anything happens to my daughter. Mum said without mincing words. Im hurt Mrs Gracia, I wish I could do anything for you to like me but this is the world we live in, we are forced to do certain things that dont sit well with others. Now let me tell you this, You will never, ever be my son inw. You dont deserve my blessings cause I know all these is a facde for the public, Webb would be found by all means and my daughter would return back to me.. enjoy these while itst Mr Fanuel Thanks Mrs Gracia, Dont worry about your daughterI will take care of her. Easton hugs me and mum gives me a peck and words of assurance. I went so emotional as I saw how much these people loves me. I begged them to attend the wedding no matter the grudges and they epted. At Least let me be happy on my wedding day. ******** Please get married to Fanuel over again after this. Laurel whines and sighed in satisfaction. Youre crazy No Im not! I cant remember the day in my life I entered a white limousine and had an exquisite lunch in it, still on my way to pick my clothes at the most ssiest fashion house!! Please marry him again and let me be your bridesmaids. I hate Fanuel, I wish it was Justin Bieber.. then I would be the one to propose to him. Youre high Christine. Laurel chuckled and I looked at Diana who was mute all this while. Dont look at me like that, Im imagining how hot I will look in those dresses as your bridesmaid. I shook my head unbelievably. Whats wrong with you two? My life is about to be a living hell and you both are here giggling. I want to be in that hell, can you share please. Laurel pleaded and plopped down to the head rest of the car, Im not ready to have a conversation with these crazy two. A massive white building stood before us, Fanuels mansion! I still cant get over this beauty. The designer is a tall red haired girl with legs stretching to infinity. She is so pretty it makes my teeth ache. Did Fanuel have to choose her? I know Im being delusional again and totally out of character but I dislike her the moment I set my eyes on her. Its disheartening to imagine that she actually works for him. My jealousy knows no bounds but Im entitled because Im about to get married to him, right? She wears a huge stic smile which doesnt reach her eyes when we walk into the spacious room. You are Christine no doubt. She says while shaking my hand. Yeah thats me. I reply without emotion. Im Sherry. Really? What kind of name is that for a grown up? I watch as she shakes Laurels hand. Fanuel said youll be apanied by two bridesmaids. Diana is on her way here, she went to the restroom I replied before sitting on the bed. Sherry turns to me. Ill start with you while we wait for her. She told Laurel. What exactly are you going to do? The wedding is tomorrow. Ill just take your measurements. We already have the dress but we need to customize it a little bit. She nodded.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. I stalk out of the room as she starts on Diana. I missed breakfast and Im ravenously hungry. I follow the somehow familiar route to the kitchen and open the fridge, trying hard to ignore the fact that the kitchen is bigger than my bedroom back at my apartment. Im impressed but again its kind of too much. I hate getting overwhelmed by stuff. I retrievesagna from the fridge and I ce it in the microwave. I take a deep breath, blocking my head from thinking. I dont want to imagine the fact that this ce will be my home from tomorrow. It looks so huge and lonely. I dont want to die in solitude. A ping from the microwave snaps me from my short reverie and I sit down to dig into my meal. I walk to the upstairs bedroom where I slept both times I was here and lie down on the bed. Im so exhausted after sleeping waytest night and waking up early. When I open my eyes, the room is bright from the subtle golden light emitted from the chandeliers. I stretch and sit-up before I realize that Im not in my apartment. I start to panic and I climb quickly out of bed. The duvet falls to the floor. Duvet? I didnt cover myself before I drifted to sleep. I scan the room, and Fanuel is seated at the small desk ced beside the window, his amused expression fixated on me. Chapter 33: A nightmare again CHAPTER 33. I look at him for a whole minute. Aptop is on the desk before him. What are you doing here? I ask eventually. He shrugs. This is my house Christine. That doesnt mean you can creep in here while Im asleep. He grins. I didnt have much to do so.. So you came to look at me while I slept? He looks at me. Did you miss your dad that much? What? His gaze remains impassive as he regards me carefully. Webb. Do you miss him? I freeze on the spot. I have no idea what you are talking about. You were calling him in your sleep, just before you woke up. You were kind of moaning or whimpering; Im not sure which. All blood drained from my face. I had a nightmare again while I slept. Its obvious he heard me but he got the whole thing wrong. Im not giving him exnations though. Why are you here Fanuel? Your bedroom is on the ground floor. I was trying to work and I couldnt concentrate so I came in here. Your loud snoring distracted me a lot but I got some work done. I dont snore. I practically yell in his face. How would you know that? I re at him before I push the duvet back on the bed. The wall clock says its a few minutes past 20:00 hours. Seems like I napped the evening away. I turn to walk to the washroom and he immediately stands up. Where are you going? His eyes are alert with rm. To the bathroom. Oh, he sits down again and I frown. What the hell was that? I thought you were leaving. He says while avoiding my gaze. Leaving? I ask, my face a mask of confusion. Never mind, not that you would dare. He flicks his hand in dismissal and I huff as I walk to the bathroom I brush my teeth and run my hand through the tangled curls on my head. I braid my hair into a messy bun and flush some cold water on my face. Fanuel looks up from theputer when I walk back in. You should change into something morefortable. That skirt looks too tight on you.. I almost think youre in pain. Im not sure whether hes concerned or being sarcastic so I simply ignore him. I retrieve hand lotion from my bag and squirt some into my palm. I hate repeating myself Christine. Change, Now! I dont have clothes over here. Im going to my apartment so you dont have to worry about my skirt suffocating me to death. He raises an eyebrow. Youre too feisty for this life, stubborn and stiff necked, Anyway, your closet is full. Which closet? How many closets do you see here? You dont have to be rude. And you dont have to be blind. Jeez. I walk to the closet and open the double doors. Then I get the surprise of my life. All my clothes are arranged neatly in there. All of them. My clothes, shoes, bags.. You name it. What the fuck is this? I ask angrily while staring at the clothes. Its clothes I guess. Fanuels voice is right behind me. I whip around to look at him. Why were my clothes moved here? When? He takes a step towards me and were a breath away from each other. I want to punch him so hard. Were getting married tomorrow. Why would the clothes stay in your apartment? Why cant my clothes remain there? Im yelling again. Why on earth is he acting so calm? Its outright irritating. Because youll be staying here and the apartment will be of no use to you. I grit my teeth angrily. I love my apartment so much. I hate you. He bursts outughing. Really? Thats the first time anyone ever told me that. I mean it, Fanuel. I say through my teeth. He cocks that eyebrow. The feeling is mutual! Not that I liked you betteryoure too wacky too be my type I dont know why that hurts though, I bit my lips in pain. Does thise naturally? What? Being a jerk. He grins. Maybe. Its not funny. It isnt, but you are. I sigh deeply. Im not sure if I still want to do this. No matter how long it will take Fanuel, Webb will surelye back and I will break free from your arrogance or better still the contract will expire. Until then, youre stuck with me. Thanks to you I got a wonderful multi-million dor project with the Kings consolidatedpany in Anta. They really admire you and thats really lovely for the business. You dont know what it means to do something against your wish, maybe until then.. youll understand. Theres nothing to understand here, all you need to do is be a good wife and we wont have problems. Ive got rules and never in your life should you break them. Just y cool, get me a baby boy and Ill take good care of you. I dont need anyone to take care of me. I yelled Were not debating on this Christine. What if I bail out? You wouldnt dare. And if I did? Id destroy you. The media will be all over the case and that is not good for my job. You cooperate with me and youll be at peace. If I dont? There will be consequences. Your parents will lose their jobs.. Your brother is a nice guy even though hes my biggest enemy. Im sure you dont want to do that to him. I inhale then exhale softly. And if I eventually get pregnant and refuse to give you my baby?N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. You wouldnt dare, Dont try me Christine. Its my child too and trust me, mywyers are the best in the country. Ill torture you until you beg for my mercy. Are you always this shrewd? You have no idea. Just stay, get married to me tomorrow, and everyone will be at peace. Youre ckmailing me. I dont like you in clothes I didnt specifically buy for you. I guess well have to donate the whole closet to charity. I sure as hell dont like that tone. I love my clothes, Fanuel. I dont like them. You dont have to. Theyre mine not yours. Sherry is going to design your new wardrobe. End of discussion. Cant you get another designer at least? She is the best there. Trust me, youre going to love her work. I watch as he walks around the bed to retrieve hisptop from the desk then takes purposeful steps towards the door. He turns around just before he reaches the door. And Christine? Yes? Stay away from my brother, thats my number one rule, Goodnight. He ms the door and I copse on the bed with tears. A perfect marriage in making. Chapter 34: My first mission CHAPTER 34. Jayden Pov. I pity the poor girl, shes a roasted meat in the hands of Fanuel and shes so vulnerable to all of his actions. The engagement party took us unawares and it sure was a good thing as deals were signed and contracts were signed. Tch! Why are they making it look like marriage is a do or die affair? Like its an achievement. Laurel walked in and smiled, greeting me in the process. Hey Good morning Jay. Whats up? Im good. I see right, thetest chief bride in town. I teased and she chuckled. You dont have to be sarcastic. I know right? I lifted the suspension and made her have ess to the living room once more. I knew she wasnt the one that stole that ne and shes not ready to tell me yet. I liked her a lot but shes still too blind to notice. Laurel was beautiful, cheerful, ambitious and decent. She can be fiesty at times but shes always humble when ites to me and I really hated that. I wanted her to be herself and be free, not disying the whole hes my boss attitude towards me. She loved Christine genuinely and that melts me also, the fact that she rarely knew her but defended her and saved her like a sister is golden. She carried the duster to wipe the shelf but I stopped her. Stop it. She raised her brows. Why? Cause I dont want you to do it. But its my job Jay. Can you just stop it. Someone else will do thatdont worry. She looked really ufortable but nodded anyway. The ne. Her eyes shot up in shock when I said that. When are you going to tell me the truth? Theres no truth to it Jay, I took it and I had to defend Christine. I walked closer to her and stared deeply at her. Her breath hitches and she looked down. Tell me the truth. Promise me that you wont say a word or spill it out. I cant. Then I wont say anything. At Least you confirmed my curiosity, you didnt do it. Who did it Laurel? Are you threatened? No. Then why all these hesitation. Cause I dont want anything toe in between them once she finds out the truth. She inhales and exhales before she says what I was expecting. Diana did it. I knew it!! I saw her slide it inside Christines pockets while she was fast asleep. I thought it was an ordinary ne but after the confrontation with my boss, I knew it was the ne. And I couldnt let Christine go through another shame of being called a thief or given another punishment. I exhale in amusement. I had a feeling that Diana was behind it but I didnt want to judge so quickly. So youre keeping the truth away from Christine, so it wont sabotage their friendship right? I asked and she nodded. Thats a selfish act Laurel. She gasped. How? Keeping the truth from her, we dont know Dianas next step and if it will definitelynd her in trouble. Warning her to stay away from her friend would act as a greenlight to the kind of person she has as a friend. But she loves Diana a lot Really, imagines she kills Christinewhat would you do or say at her grave. Her eyes grew wide like saucers and she red at me. You have a very wild and scary imagination Jay, please dont say such. Anything can happen Laurel, I would have told her but I feel its your position to do so. Shes already going through a lot of shit to add more salt to her Injury. I told her and she nodded. I will, thanks a lot Jay. I smiled at her. I want something in return, I dont give advice for free. Oh Yeah, we are going out this evening. Ill call you by 17:00 hours, sherry wille over with your dress.I Left her in awe before she could reply, I grinned within knowing that I indirectly asked her out for a date. ******** Dianas POV. Fanuel Hudson is getting married to my friend tomorrow, tch! How ironic? I get to be her bridesmaids and watch them walk down the aisle with someone Ive grown to like. She gets everything!! Nope, she never gets anything though, her life has always been shitty and always in a mess, she excluded herself from guys and lived a boring life even though she had a big heart and a little bit of feistiness. Shes outright smart and intelligent in academics while I was the attention stealer. I got what and who I want and guys bow to my demands. but this is too much! I cant let her have Fanuel! It could have been anyone but not my favorite person. I felt hot tears burning through my eyes. I cant believe she will unt herself around the media as one Mrs Fanuel, she will be to see him anytime she wants and lie on the same bed with him. Fuckkkk!!!Content ? N?velDrama.Org. That thought alone gives me chills. My phone chimed loudly and I picked it up in anger. Yes? Oh reallywait! Ill be out now. I grabbed the hoodie on the bed and threw it on before heading outside. I sighted Jayden and I sneered, I dislike him the same way he dislikes me. Its just too bad that hes too good-looking to resist. I liked Fanuel better, dude is always smoking hot. I faked a smile at him and greeted and he gave this creepy nod. The gate slid open automatically and I walked out. I turned back to check if I was being followed but Im d, I wasnt. I sighted the ck tinted Camry and walked towards it. The door clicked open and I entered, facing her in her beauty and ravishing glory. Shes so pretty in her petite body, I want to be like her too. I want to drive expensive and shy things too, maybe that might make Fanuel notice me. But Im no match for such a request, I almost regretted the fact that I was given birth by my mum or dadI wanted more. Youre here. Yeah, you look good I know. Ugh! Shes so sassy. I dont Like to beat about the bush but I think we have a lot inmon after we met at the engagement party. She adjusted her pink googles and continued. I still love him and I want my man back. I sneered. So you have to do everything in your power to stop that wedding. Not that you can stop it though but you need to try. I like him too! I almost yelled at her but Maintained my cool. I will send a few bucks to you, just type in your ount details and we are good. Heres my card to the white house just in case of necessity, You know what to do next. I smiled at her and nodded approvingly, My first mission to ruin the wedding is going to be a st. Chapter 35: Innocent confused model CHAPTER 35. Christines Pov. Not bad, it looks good on you. He said and I bit my lips in amusement. Just good? Good? This gown looks ravishing on me that my heart literally aches, I look like a fairy princess waiting for her charming prince. Its just unfortunate that I will be wearing this for a monster. For once in my life I wish to get married to the one I truly love, to the one who loves me and will cherish me as his but Im amazed at how my fate twisted. Im stuck with this arrogant jerk. Are you always like this? How Crybaby. I re at him. I just said the gown looks good on you and youre spilling tears, I thought you were a strong girl.. I cant believe Im getting married to a weakmb. I gritted in anger as he called me that. Dont call me that!! Such a name isnt meant to spew out from his dangerous lips. Lambs are the most fragile and purest creatures to exist. Even if I were to act like a Lamb, hes not fit to call me that! Why? Can you just stop asking me silly questions? I yelled. Are you crazy? He stood up and I swallowed, I pissed him off again! I should have just maintained my cool. I wonder what made me so angry in the first ce. Why are you yelling at me? I have the right to ask you any type of question I want so why are you being fiesty? I want to take this gown off Fanuel. Huh? You dont like it? Im tired of wearing this! Its a painful reminder that Im getting married to you!! What? If you dont like the gown, I can order another one of your choice. He said so innocently that I red at him confusingly. Whats this? Why does he care whether I like the gown or not? I expected him to rile up as usual and taunt it all over my face that Im stuck to him because of dad and here he is staring at me in a way that gives me chills. He carried his phone and made a call to Sherry, threatening her to bring a new gown before the sun went down and I gasped in surprise. He stared at my expression and shook his head. Whats wrong with you?! No, whats wrong with you!! Why will you order another gown when Im not yet over with this one. He scoffed. I dislike daftdies so much, so you better stop with this attitude of yours before I hit you. Im seriously restraining myself so dont push me!! Why are you restraining yourself from expressing how irresponsible you are for hitting a woman? I wouldnt want your pretty face to be bruised for our wedding tomorrow, Id rather have a little patience and wait until its over. My heart thumped heavily when he said that. This guy was going to beat me blue and ck after the wedding. Im getting married to a keeper of hell, my life will be zing hot. I felt tears burning at the sides of my eyes as I kept my mouth shut. I rather behave so I dont double my punishment after the wedding. Gosh! See? What. I whip my head to look at him. Youre crying again, must you believe every shit someone tells you? I kept mute. If I answer this man, I will be forced to break him with my words. He sighed and sat down on the couch facing the King sized four setter bed. Youre very confusing Christine, I thought you didnt like the gown. I had to change it so that you wont tell the paparazzi that your husband forced you to wear it. I cringe when he said that husband He wouldnt even wait until tomorrow, hes already parading himself as one, hes so cocky.. gosh! I love the gown I finally said and he smirked. And I dont want a recement. Sure, I know you would love it. I have a better taste in fashion than anyone else. He brags and I roll my eyes. I will call one of the maids to take this off I told him and he smiled approvingly. Of course, as long as I already had my view of what you look like in the dress I gathered the heavycy material on my hand as I moved to the living room. Wait!! He stopped me and I turned to look at him. His countenance changed and I wonder what I did this time around. He looked at the dress very seriously as if to carry out some research on it that will pay him millions of dors as he approached me. I will take it off. I gasped in horror and shifted backwards. What? I want to just take the zipper off and untie theces myself. Gosh! How can he say that so easily? Why would he even think of doing that? This man is not just crazy but a pervert also. I shift away from him and turn my back towards the living room when he grabs my hands. Let go Fanuel, are you out of your mind? We havent even gotten married yet and youre already acting like a pervert. Why? By trying to do things myself? He didnt bat an eyelid with me as he was very serious. Your brother mocked me for never doing things on my own, he expressed that my men do almost everything for me and I will definitely prove him wrong. Thats a lie, so just stay, let me untie theces and undo the zipper. I gasped in shock and Iughed. I cant believe this!! A whole Fanuel taking things to heart. When did words start affecting him and how can he say those words loosely? When Im already getting affected by it, when hes so fucking cute looking serious and telling me he wants to undress me.. Im already going insane with such words.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. I get your point now but this is not the way Fanuel, this one is fordies or C.. c.. couples that have already gotten married. My cheeks burn at that statement. So Im going to wait till we get married tomorrow before I can untie theces and zip? What is Fanuel doing to me!! He should stop saying those things, Im already imagining nonsense in my head, how can he unzip my dress without me fainting? Fanuel, what my brother meant by that was that you dont do anything by yourself, you dont drive, wash, cook, sweep, wear clothes or shoes, or make anything for yourself. You literally give orders to your men and maids and they do all that for you He stared at me deeply when I said that and pinched his brows. This Fanuel right now looked like an innocent confused model, so calm and cute. But Im the fucking billionaire, I cant do all those shitI rather pay them to do it for me Exactly, thats what my brother was trying to say! You let everyone do things for you that you end up not knowing about, youre totally ignorant of everything and thats what makes those who do these things stronger than you. Do you ever let anyone do your work for you in thepany? hmmm. I hire some worker But youre the one in charge, does anyone control the hiring, signing and making of finance in thepany? His eyes shoot up. No fucking way! Thats it, you wont let anyone do that so they wont end up knowing everything and getting stronger than you. I told him and he sighed, I dont even know why Im exining all of these to himbut Im Only imagining Fanuel Hudson doing things on his own, it would be an exhrating sight to behold. Fine,e here. Im undoing the dress myself and Im not calling any maids to help you He said with finality and I stared at him in shock. Chapter 36: Torn to pieces CHAPTER 36. Fanuels Pov. I stared at the tie frustratingly and sighed in frustration. I couldnt knot it! Jay and Edward stared at me in shock as I frustratingly draped the tie on my neck. I thought I could knot it myself the way others do it effectively. Christine was right!! I dont know anything and I wondered why that bothered me. I wondered why I took her brothers words to heart that day, I mean to hell with doing things on my own but I find it a bit weird that Ive never done things on my own since I was born. I was the sugar of the family and pampered with bread and butter. I dont even know how to wear my slippers on my own, every damn thing in my life was done gracefully by our maids and men, and Im being reminded by that. Whats this Fanuel?Edwards blurted out. My humble self I gestured myself towards him and he shook his head unbelievably. You purposely told your men to stay away from you, you refused to let anyone knot your tie and time is already far spent! Dont you know that everyone is waiting in the church. Chill Edward, I just want to tie this thing myself Why? Is it because youre too excited to get married or what? You dont even know how wear your ne talkless of opting to tying a whole tie!! Common Fanuel, stop this childish scene and lets going, the bride isnt supposed to be waiting for the groom. He said and I sigh in frustration, what he said hit my chest like a bomb and it hurts so much. I cant even wear my ne!! And thats fucking true! My men or maids do that for me, if I leave the house in a hurry, Edward gets to do that for mewhat an embarrassment!! I stretch my tie towards Jay who has been muted all this while. He wouldnt know how to do much too so I better taunt him a little to feel better. We are both birds of the same feather after all. He collected the tie and stood in front me hanging the tie on my neck, my brother was stylishly beautiful. He was dressing as if he was the actual groom if not for the milky color which didnt entuate the color I wore. Without wasting much time he flips the tie to the left and to the right, he looked very serious and I wonder how he knew how to knot a tie, we werent the suit type so how did he even know this. Im done. He said before I could see if he actually knew what he was doing. He stepped back and had a good look at me before nodding in satisfaction. I turned to look at the mirror and it was knotted beautifully. I grit my teeth in frustration and worry clouds my face. I am notzy, I am strong and I can do everything. I dered as if I was asked a question and the two fools bursted out inughter . Youre crazy Fanuel, Youre notzy. Edward said, stillughing while Jayden stood up. While youre admiring how hard-working you are in the mirror, can we please go to the venue of the wedding? Its terriblyte. I hissed and walked past them to one of my favorite babies. The ck Camry. It was beautifully decorated with blue and silver ribbons from the back of the car to the front of the wind screen. I sigh in relief as there are no media personalities and I walked majestically to the ride. Im feeling nothing, I wonder why people rant about weddings being the happiest day of their lives and even shedding a tear about it, especially women! Its nothing magical or intriguing but a minimal boring party of two couples who just want to say words to be husband and wife. The church was really beautiful, and filled up. I specifically told the event nner to invite only family and friends but here I am walking towards a crowded church. Damn the media!!! My eyes are burning from camera shlights and gasps fill the air. I frown really hard when I notice that the so-called bride isnt here, what the heck are they doing since!! I gritted my teeth. Its a culture for the groom to arrive before the bride, now that youre here she will definitelye. Jayden told me as If he was actually answering my question. ****** Im seething!! Im burning and I will definitely fly out from the entrance if someone doesnt hold me. Its been two hours since I arrived and no sign of Christine. Did she escape and back off from the agreement? Oh no! She wouldnt dare!! Everyone is beginning to whisper words against themselves and the silent serene ce is now filled with loud whisperings. Get me my phone. I told Edward. Not here please, everyone is watching. Get me my phone dammit!! Maybe they are stuck in the traffic or something, just hold on a little longer. I will punch you hard Edward, how is that my fucking business!! He sighed in frustration and retrieved my phone from his pockets. I wonder why Im not even allowed to hold the device. I nced at everyone in the church and I regretted doing that!! Damn!! They were all fucking staring at me as if Im a villian who brought them out to witness aedy show. Im going to burst!! The tornado in me is turning and If I make a mistake to leave that entrance, I will kill Christine. Without wasting a flick of time, I dialed Christines number. The number youre trying to reach is currently unavable, drop a message or try againter. I swallowed hard and hit the wall earning loud gasps from people. Jayden stood up and rushed towards me. I will kill her! I told him in a voice that I couldnt recognise. Dont cause a scene Fanuel, Ive been trying to reach out also but its not reachable.. something must have gone wrong. Dont tell me that crap! I almost yelled at his face. That little witch has escaped so she wont get married to me, I will find her and kill her with my bare hands so enough with your defense!! Jayden held my hands and sighed in frustration. Can you atleast be a little bit calm, they are already taking pictures of you going rampage near the altar!!Content ? N?velDrama.Org. Get the fuck out my sight Jay! Have some respect dude and stop cursing, youre in the church! Edward said and I red. I broke free angrily from Jays grip and I was about to cause a scene when my phones ringtone jolted me deep rooted to the ground. I picked it without looking at the caller and waited for the next thing. Her shaky and tearful voice snapped me out from my angry state and I became alert at once. Christine? Fanuel. She sniffed and I could only imagine what happened to her. If shes in danger or if anyone kidnapped her, that thought alone gave me chills and for the very first time in my life, I became scared. Where are you, are you okay? I asked worriedly and Edward and Jay had their ears and eyes open like that of a rabbits. Im fine, Im still at home Fanuel Then why are you not here yet? Damn! Im surprisingly calm. Im not screaming at the top of my lungs swearing to kill her for wasting so much time. Mymy dress, My beautiful wedding dress was torn to pieces. Chapter 37: That minster鈥檚 wrath Dianas POV. She was so beautiful that my heart ached. The make-up artist did his job without stress, as if Christine was already perfect on her own without needing too much artificial foundation or concealer or her milky brown face. She would soon go to see Fanuel and that twisted my heart in pain the more. I couldnt bear that, I couldnt watch the scene of her standing on the altar with the man Ive always loved to be enjoined as husband and wife. I want that title to be plundered with immediate effect, I want to have a magical power that would transfer all the artist efforts straight to my face to look just as beautiful as she is. How the heck will she get married to such beauty!! Even if its for a day, shes still lucky!! Fake marriage or not, she gets to see such greek god all the time. She gets to serve him, cook for him, talk to him, touch him. no damn it!! I should stop thinking about that, Im already balling my hands into a fist and I might swerve a punch at her innocent face. Her face remains impassive, so void and without expressing any emotion. She just sat there motionless in her silent beauty and stared into nothing, checking the time now and then and ncing around. Its time. Laurel said and she snapped her head to her direction. Time to? Wear your cloth of course, dont tell me you n to sit there all day, staring into nothing. I wish I could. She sighed and stood up while I followed suit to the inner room. Stop it and be cheerful, its your wedding day! Bring the best out of it and make yourself happy, forget who youre getting married to and focus on yourself, its just once in a lifetime dear. Christine forces a smile as she kept dragging herself to the room. Laurel opened the door and what followed was a horrific gasp. We all stepped inside and I gasped. Seems someone already got enemies, I thought Im the only one trying to ruin this. Her white beautiful town was torn into shreds,ying scatterly on the floor. The mannequin in the transparent silver ss closet, stood there naked. Someone had ess to the lock and brought out the gown, if we were to really imagine the process of tearing this gown;it was done in anger. No trace of any footsteps or any good remnants of the cloth, every damn textile was shredded to pieces. Christine sprawled on the floor while we just stood there as dead logs frozen to the ground. She kept mumbling some incoherent words holding the bed frame in fear. Laurel looked at me in a very suspicious manner and I red at her sending her a warning that I know nothing about this damage. I was there with them through out and never left their sight. I never even thought of doing this but I must confess that this person did a great job. It just made my work much easier, it would be very hard to find a new gown immediately with her perfect size and desired colour. Diana? Laurel called still giving me that suspicious look. Huh? Lets fix this, I dont know who broke in here but whosoever that might have done this is clearly a psychopath who is angry at Christine. Yeah. I could only nod. Christine please stay put, well try and figure something out. Laurel said shakily just to reassure her cause she wasnt even sure of what she was saying. She dragged me out until we reach the passage way that leads to the living room. Spit it out!! She yelled. Spit what? Are you this daft and wicked? I didnt do that! I almost yelled my lungs out on her. Wow! Prove me wrong, couldnt you atleast wait till the wedding is over! Why will you do such wickedness? Im telling Fanuel right away!! I didnt do that Laurel!! I was with you the entire time and Im shocked as well! Why would I need to wait till now to do such childish and despicable thing when I was actually the one that specifically chose the gown for her. How? I had gone out with Fanuel to get her the gown when she was diagnosed with the chemical infusion that took over her body in the cause of her punishment. How will I believe you? When all you want to do is get Christine out of the way! I think youre so dumb right now. Ehh? You im to know everything and trying so hard to pin a mess on me when the real culprit might be Christine herself, I know I did something stupid before but is that enough reason for you to think that I actually did this. What? Why would Christine do such a thing? She never wanted to marry Fanuel you dumbass. Dont call me that! She seethed. Instead of finding a solution to this impairable damage, youre so keen stering usations on my face. Diana. I dont know whatever it is you have hidden under your sleeve, I will find out, trust me. I still refuse to help that you arent the one, the res and stares you gave to Christine in the room is enough reason for me to suspect you. Keep ying the ball in the field until you gt a red card from me, I will surely expose you. She said with so much spite and went to the door which has been ring its rm since. I need to get rid of her. Shes beginning to get on my nerves and i dont like that. I cant believe she was staring at me the whole time in the room, what a sneaky sneakish brat. I hissed and went back to the room to find Christine crying, she clutched Laurel phone to her chest and i snort. What a silly girl. Can you stop it with the tears already? Fanuel will kill me Diana. How? He might think that Im probably the one dying, he might think I have something to do with thisIm so fucked up Diana, I dont want to face that monsters wrath. She said fearfully and I shook my head. So youre only reacting this way because you think Fanuel mighte over and give you beatings of your life? She nodded vigorously and I almost chuckle at the way she reacted. And punishment too. Is he that bad? I ask and she red at me. You dont want to get on a bad side with Fanuel Hudson, I dont now what to do Diana, and i begged mum and Easton toe over. They might be worriedly sick about me right now. She busrted out crying again. Get up and wipe your face darling, they would be worriedly sick at how beautiful you would look in this pink wedding gown.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Laurel opened the door with the most unique gown Ive ever set my eyes on, it there dangling on the hanger with diamonds enough to buy a country. Chapter 38: More money, more opportunities Christines Pov Fanuel pulls away a momentter, his face wearing a fake disgusted look. Christ! ire, youre going to break my bones. He groans and she makes a face at him. Shut up Fanuel. You are annoying. She turns to me then and wraps her arms around me. We finally met Christine. Youre so pretty; I imagined Fanuel was kidding when he said that. Wait, what? I turn to look at him but he is keeping himself busy, sipping away from his ss. He said that? I squeak in disbelief. I know I sound like a moron.. She releases me and reaches to tuck a stray strand of hair behind my ear. She is pretty and her ck strapless dress makes her look like a model if anything. She looks young, more like my age mate. Yeah he did. He told me about the wedding just two days ago and I had to make travel arrangements. I just got here. Couldnt miss this for the world. I cant help but smile as she keeps talking. I like her on the spot. My name is ire by the way. Fanuels cousin or more like a sister. Im so d to meet you. Its nice to meet you too ire. Im d you could make it. She smiles, her teeth all white and gleaming and her genuine smile never wears off. She leans to whisper in my ear. Why is he being so aloof? Im going to punch him. I burst outughing and turned to look at Fanuel. He shakes his head and turns to walk away, muttering women under his breath. Let me know once you two are done gossiping. He calls over his shoulder; just loud enough for us to hear before he walks over to my parents. What is he like on regr days? I ask her with a frown as I watch himughing at something my mom says. ire follows my gaze. He can be pretty good at times. I think he phases, or something like that. He rarely shows emotions but when he does, he goes to extremes. I sigh deeply. I hope Ill be able to figure him out. She casts me a sympathetic nce. What is he holding over you? I tense instantly. What do you mean? Dont give me that look Christine. I can tell that something unusual is happening. I have no idea what you are talking about. I can even feel the tremor in my voice. ire shakes her head while looking at me. Fanuel and I are very close. He would have told me about his wedding early enough but this seems to be a bit.. rushed. Are you sure you two are okay. I take a deep breath. I have to concentrate on not falling apart. We are okay. I think everything just happened so fast. She raises an eyebrow, an annoying act she borrowed from her cocky cousin. Its okay if you say so. Just so you know, Ill be here if you need someone to talk to, okay? I nod gratefully. She is so sweet unlike that bully of a cousin or more like a brother. Its a pity that the bully happens to be my husband. I was so ted when Laurel brought and presented the clothes before me, no I was overjoyed. Fuck the colour!!N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. I got myself another beautiful gown, to hell with those who destroyed the first one. This one looks so beautiful that I dreaded to know the amount. I slipped into it without wasting much time and the makeup artist retouched my ruined face while Laurel tied the beautiful ropes enjoined to the back of the cloth. The cloth sparkled and screamed money, My back was bare with silver ropes dangling at the sides back with every step I made. I dont know why but I felt so giddy, I felt happy. Yea! Fanuel is a dick at times but he went this far as threatening Sherry to do something or she will lose her license as a fashion designer. I must confess, Sherry is so good at what she does and I couldnt be more grateful. I thought the wedding would be short and simple and we would get back to whatever reality we fixed ourselves into, but I was so shocked at the crowd, the media. damn!!! Dont they take a break? I wasnt expecting their reactions to be so priceless when they saw me but I was thrilled. They were stunned, maybe the gown made them react that way or my face. I couldnt decipher but I felt d. No! I want this wedding tost. i want to enjoy it to my fullest before I face the tragedy that is about to befall me. Fanuel wore pink too!! I t.. thought he was supposed to wear white. Stop staring!! You wouldnt want us to appear so childish with ck, white and pink. I had to do the necessary. He had whispered to me when I stepped closer and he pretended to tuck my hair strands in ce, smiling at me. I almost got deceived by that smile because it looked so genuine but I pped myself inwardly and cursed that all this was for show, so I smiled back. This man standing before me was so yummy, he was smoking hot in this pink tuxedo. Why the fuck will he even wear a pink?!! It suits him so much that I could only sigh, I shouldnt stand so close to him like this. I might end up dragging him and mming myself on his sinful lips. Oh boy! I was losing it. Hey, ire! Someone calls from somewhere behind us and we both turn, watching as Mirabel walks to us. She is wearing a tiny white dress and skyscraper heels. So much for trying to catch Fanuels attention; I think sourly. ire frowns as she watches her approaching. Hi. She says simply and Mirabeles to a stop right in front of us. She doesnt spare me a nce and she proceeds to hug ire, who doesnt seem to share the enthusiasm. Its been a while. You look so good. Mirabel appraises her as she talks. Thank you. ire says and she doesnt bother returning the smiles. Seems like someone around here shares my opinion about Mirabel. I didnt know you would be here. Fanuel never mentioned anything. Mirabel continues with her near monologue and finally, ire shakes her head, making her shut up. The name is Mirabel, right? Yeah thats right. Okay Mirabel, have you had the chance to meet Christine? Shes my sister inw and Fanuels bride. Im sure you already figured that out though; right? ires tone is intentionally deliberate and smug and I fight the fierce grin that is bubbling from within. I watch as Miarbels face falls. Weve met before. She nods at me. Hi Christine. My face remains impassive. Hi yourself. You had an invitation? ire asks her and she sputters something unfathomable. I figured out as much. It must be hard following Fanuel around, right? Its a pity that he is now married. If I were you, I would strive to stay away from him. Im sure you dont want to be in loggerheads with Christine. ire speaks slowly, clearly.. Keeping her voice low. After a split second, Mirabel clicks and walks away. The stream of profanities that she leaves behind makes my headache. Who is she? I ask when she is out of sight. ire shakes her head slowly. Sweetheart, how long have you known Fanuel? I shrug. Like a month? A month? And you know nothing about Mirabel? How weird. Okay, so whatever happened between her and Fanuel was pretty recent. He didnt say anything about her. I say while staring at a tent. If I catch her eye, shell know without a doubt that Im lying. Still, I find it really funny that you didnt know about her. Anyway, he brought her home once, we had an event and they showed up together. He wasnt paying much attention to her but she somehow got into Dads head. Dad was d their union would create a massive bond between hispany and the president. More money, more connections, more opportunities. Shes the Presidents daughter. Oh My mouth curved into a round surprise. No wonder! The sassiness, aggressive attitude, expensive clothes and pretty face was all visible. So she was Fanuels girlfriend? I ask earnestly as if I wasnt aware. Im so jealous!!! A freaking presidents daughter!!! I want to burst. He never introduced her as his girlfriend but she was trying hard to fit in, you know. He was forced by dad, he has to make dad happy and of course have thepanys interest in mind. She looks at me over. Maybe you should ask Fanuel. No its fine. I reply too quickly. I would never ask Fanuel about such a thing. Hell think Im being jealous and irrational. Its fine? She asks angrily. You think its fine that he was parading that woman while you two were still together? ires face is a mask of disbelief. When exactly was that? Less than two weeks ago sweetheart. I dont want to spoil your moods but this for your own good. I know. Its just that my rtionship with Fanuel is a bit different. Different. She scoffs. I can tell as much. Its fucking different. I dont want to upset him so Im not going to say anything. But Christine, you can always talk to me; okay?. Thanks. I say genuinely and she gives me a warm smile. Dont mention it sis. I like her already. Chapter 39: Hailstorm of tears CHAPTER 39. Christines Pov She walks away, her shapely body swaying gracefully. I turn when someone taps my shoulder and Im facing Laurel, whose face is screwed in a scorn. Christine for heavens sake, youre not supposed to be checking out girls. Thats cheating, you know? You just got married. I wasnt checking her out. I reply harshly, my cheeks turning red. Trust me you were. Shes pretty though. Not that you are allowed to check her out, Im just stating an obvious fact. This is officially one of the days that I dont like Laurel, she looks for every opportunity to taunt and tease me. Laurel with all due respect Im just kidding Christine. She says with a wink and we burst outughing. Silly mofo. So, how do you feel Mrs Fanuel? She asks yfully and I make a face at her which she apparently finds amusing. Dont call me that. But you are his wife. This is a mistake Laurel. Its a bit toote now to change your mind, girlfriend. You are stuck with him for the rest of your life. Gah! I know. Dont rub it in. Okay, I just wanted to see you onest time. Your life is going to be a blur once you start ying wife. Dont be a stranger though, okay? Laurel, Ill never forget that you are my friend and you know that. Well be hanging out every now and then. Really, so youre ditching Diana out? Are you saying this just to make me feel better? Of course not! Diana is also a friend but youre one in a million. You choose to be a friend in need and in time of trouble. Aww. dont make me emotional, it wont work. Its just that youre very stubborn and you always get on my nerves and are very secretive. I stressed thest word very well to her hearing and she clicked her tongue. Whatever youre hiding to save me, I know that its for my best interest and I will never ever leave or forget about you. I sincerely hope so. I guess your husband will be here any minute from now so I should get going.. I turn to look at Fanuel and he is talking to his best man, Edward. They are both looking at me and I turn hastily to look back at Laurel who is grinning. Told ya. He likes you.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. Shut up. Whatever. One more thing before I go. Yeah? I think I found a new crush since you left the house. Her voice has a yful tinge. Aaargh!! You and Diana with crushes, we both know your crushes are overrated. I dont want to hear about that. She pouts. Im still telling you. Oh God. Go ahead. Its Jayden. I burst outughing then I quickly hold myself when I realize that she is actually serious. Oh my God!!! Jayden is actually my guy! You dont have to steal him from me. I fake a cry Shut up Christine, youre married to a hot CEO. I will scratch your eye if you are eyeing him. I know that right, Im pathetic but Jeez!! Jayden is a very nice guy. Yeah, and he kind of asked me out. I gave myself a palm in shock as I stared at her. He fucking likes you too!! She grins in happiness and totally looks serious. Theres something you need to know about your friend Christine. I cocked my head to examine how serious she is and asked why, but before Laurel could utter another word I was pushed with a great force that I closed my eyes in anticipation of a painful crack that will burst my head. A loud shattering sound that is enough to split ones ear drum tears through the peaceful atmosphere and screams followed. I closed my ears tight and waited for any pain, any sign that my body has been damaged but I feel fine and warm. Everything happened so fast that I trembled under thefort of whosoever was engulfing me. I disentangled myself from this shield and looked up to see a very worried Edward, staring at me and checking all over my body to see if I was bruised. I opened my mouth to talk but my throat was dried up. I couldnt utter a word as I stared at the horrified scene before me. The huge ssy chandelier that was hanging high above was scattered and crushed beyond measure into tiny particles. My lips tremble, my eyes watered, my face burns in dread and horror as I stare at somebody in front of me. I was in a daze. No, I think Im hallucinating. Laurel was stuck beneath the ss chandelier as the sharp particles pierced the sides of her stomach. If she wasnt fast enough to swerve her leg, it would have been crus. Godforbid!! My hands flew over my mouth as I crawled shakily to meet her, oh my God!! What the hell just happened!! Jayden was deep frozen on his spot and couldnt move. Now everyone was shocked at the turn of events. As if snapped out from a daze, Jayden moved with an incredible speed and crouched down before Laurel, he checked her pulse and she winced in pain. Relief washed through our faces as Jayden carried her in a bridal style and dashed outside like a maniac, without telling anyone, we knew he was taking her to the hospital. The press went mad with questions and camera shlights blinded our vision. I wondered if this happened in the church and how many people would have been affected from that chandelier damage. I was still in shock as I stared into nothing, what if I wasnt pushed from that spot I was standing? What if that ss had actually crushed Laurels leg? What if?. I was shaking and vibrating in fear, I bit my lips and trembled. Why does it have to be on my so-called wedding day?! Why do ugly situations happen to me and affect the innocent ones, just why!! I felt a wrap on my waist and I whip my head at once to see Easton staring at me with utmost concern. Thank goodness youre ok. He said breathlessly and I crouched down on his shoulders and bursted a hailstorm of tears. I was sad and shocked. I hope Laurel gets better, I think its best I leave this ce so another damage wont happen again. First it was my dress, now its almost my friends life. If anything gets wrong dont you ever fail to tell me. His voice was stern and I could feel the warning in his tone. He kissed my forehead and assured me it would be okay. Fanuel walks to us and wraps an arm around my waist. I feel the effect all the way to my toes. I know he is just doing it for show but sincerely I cant help it. Hey, youre the brother, right? He asks Easton, a hint of a smile on his face. He still remembers their little encounter. You must be the callous husband. He replies smugly and he nods. Yes, and your time with my wife is over. Are you getting stupid by the day Fanuel? His expression is grim but his words are not serious. Should I be? Probably, your wife almost got hurt by that thing you wasted money on and youre here marking time, I would have chopped your head if something had happened to her. You better paddle the right path and take care of my sister or you will see the beast you never wish to set your eyes on Then he winks at me. See you Mrs Fanuel. I start to curse but he is already out of sight. Easton is always at loggerheads with this guy Your brother is a spitball of fire. Fanuelments while turning me to face him. Yeah, youd be wise not to mess with me. I grimace at his expression. I had almost forgotten that hes already messing with me. Chapter 40: Lawfully, legally mine CHRISTINE The reception abruptly came to a halt after the ugly incident but refreshments and slow music could be heard, Fanuels men were able to pounce on the media and press to crawl out of the event and everything came back to normal. I nce asionally to look for Edward to thank him for saving me, I would probably be in the hospital by now. My chin was sore from fake smiling and greetings from powerful men and women who came far and near to congratte us. I just want to go home and rest. I want to ask about Laurel and how shes doing but I need to breathe. So.. Fanuel starts to say and I look up at him. He is looking at me over the rim of the champagne ss. Yeah? What do you do for fun? He asks rather nonchntly. I read a lot I write a bit and I watch movies asionally. I say with a shrug. What about outdoor activities? Like fun I shake my head. Im not an outdoor person. He grins then. Our honeymoon is going to be hell for you then. What do you mean? All the activities there are quite involved. Fanuel, dont do that to me. Im not the sporty type. I give him a deathly stare but he just snorts in response. Klutz then? Im not that clumsy. I say heatedly and he holds my hand just before my fist connects with his jaw. Im seriously thinking about what happened and the trauma it created and hes asking and calling me nonsense!! What manner of human being is this? He tugs me towards him using my hand until my body is aligned with his. His eyes are angry slits and I can feel the rage vibrating through him. Just keep this up and were going to be busted. Who hits their husband on their wedding day? He asks quietly, his face a mere inch from mine. Well, who calls their bride a klutz? He shakes his head. Christine, you are a klutz. Thats not an insult.. Its a fact. I narrowed my eyes on him. Screw you Fanuel Hudson. I think its high time he talks to me with respect, despite what Webb did to him, we are both doing ourselves a favor. Im helping his ass to get cool cash to save hispany and hes helping me so I can be set free from his dungeon. I hissed so hard, with that, I pulled myself out of his embrace and turned to walk away. A few steps away, I bump right into someone. All for not being clumsy. Champagne sshes all over my grand wedding gown and the pink color stains the entire front. I take a step back, my eyes wide open in shock. The only good thing about my wedding day was just being spoiled . I take another step back, and my back hits a hard torso. That must be Fanuel. He wraps an arm around my waist from behind and I gulp, almost forgetting that I just ran into someone. Oops Christine. Sorry, didnt see you there.Mirabel says while feigning an apologetic face but the sneer behind that painted face is hard to miss. She did that on purpose. She poured champagne on my dress. You ruined my gown. I say in disbelief. Oh my God! How dare I? Can you ever forgive me? The sarcasm in her voice drives me crazy. Get your butt off my face. I snap angrily, after making sure that none of the cameramen is recording the little show. She chuckles when the arm on my waist tightens around me and I wonder whats so funny. I turn around to look at Fanuel at exactly the same time his angry voice flows to me from somewhere beside us. I turn to look at him and hes indeed standing there, his mouth agape, his eyes dark and angry as hell.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. I realize then, that the hand on my waist is not Fanuels. I move to tear myself from him but Fanuel is already upon us. He pushes whoever is behind me backwards. I turn around just as the guynds on his ass, cursing silently. His face is not familiar at all and hes wearing a ck tux. His brown hair is slicked back and his golden cuff links shimmer in the sunlight. He has that aura of Im in charge. He is not as intimidating as Fanuel but Im pretty sure he has his glorious moments. Fanuel moves over to him and grabs him by the cor. He hauls him up until their faces are almost touching. Anger is radiating off him and the muscles on his jaw are twitching. The cameras click like crazy. I stand there in my champagne soaked gown half trembling, wondering what the heck just happened. I watch as Fanuel moves his lips to the guys ear, his words spewing like venom.. Stay the fuck away from Christine. She is mine. You hear me dickhead? Lawfully, legally mine. Then he pushes him and turns to me. I want to ask what the hell is happening but Im sure Fanuel wont tell me shit especially with those cameras all over. He looks me over for a moment before he grabs my arm and pulls me out of the reception. I stumble in my high heels and I almost trip over. Fanuel curses under his breath and res at me as I try to catch my breath. Without warning, he bends a little and puts an arm under my knees. Before I fathom what is happening, Im in his arms and he is carrying me weightlessly to the waiting car. I bite my lip and keep my curses at bay. He is mad and I dont want to aggravate that. Kol is already opening the back door when we get to the Limo and I stay quiet as Fanuel helps me in. He is aloof when the car pulls out of the parking lot and I keep my eyes on the road. I cant take it any longer. I turn to look at him and he is watching me silently, his eyes hooded and his expression unreadable. I can tell that he is still mad and I have no idea how he is going to react to whatever I have to say. I quickly look away when our eyes meet. Im sorry. I say eventually, biting my lower lip and staring at the nk screen separating us from the driver. You should be. He replies after a moment. He doesnt sound exactly pissed off. Its more like confusion and a tinge of disappointment. What happened? Who was that? I ask and he turns to look at the open window. No one significant. Forget it. Fanuel you are lying and you know it. I look at him dead in the eye and he lifts an eyebrow. So what if I lie? You were letting that stupid mother fucker touch you in my presence. You were cheating on me moments after we tied the knot Right in my presence. I gasp loudly. The usation behind the angry tone is not lost to me. I stare at him for a whole minute. Chapter 41: She鈥檚 in danger Dianas POV. Bitchhhh!!! She yelled furiously at me and threw her ss heels on me. I scoffed in surprise. Youre useless! A simple piece of work and information and you flopped! Really? I flopped Iughed sardonically at her. Where were the possibilities or chances of stopping the wedding huh? Tell me!! Oh! You expect me to walk up to the priest and give amand to him to stop the wedding right? Or I could have walked up to Fanuels mum and threaten to stop her son from marrying rather I would have majestically walk up to Fanuel and tell him not to hold the wedding because Mirabel is still madly in love with you right?!! I yelled in anger and her face was shocked. I should be the angry one here, not you. Yes, Im sorry I forgot. I should not be angry at the fact that the wedding was a sess, that my efforts were just a waste, that the so-called lover who had pushed me into almost killing my friend couldnt appreciate the little efforts, I should be d and not angry;silly me. I told her sarcastically and she rolled her eyes and sat down. Whatever, at least you should have done more. Fanuel is going home with that bitch and I cant take it.. my heart pricks. I cant believe how much I missed him until now. She says and I get angrier! You think youre the only one who is mad at that fact huh! Im trying so hard to ignore that reality, can someone tell this brat just to keep quiet. But you tried. I stared at her and she continued. I mean the security was very tight and all that but you manoeuvered your way to top to unscrew the chandeliers, thats a smart move. Its just so bad it hit her friend instead of her. That lucky b?t?h. I smirked. I was surprised at my ability also, it was as if my brain was controlled remotely and I stared up at the chandeliers which were staring right at her. There were many others but that particr one was perfect to hit her. That couldnt have stopped the wedding though, the vows were already exchanged and they were already a couplejust wondered why you wanted me to hurt the bride so much. I never asked you to hurt anyone. So how do you expect me to stop a wedding all by myself?Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. I thought you were smart. No, I think youre dumb. What? Yeah, only a dumb person starts writing what he doesnt hear or starts moving in a pathless direction. She red at me and I continued. You badly want to stop the wedding but you have no backup n, nobody to go for a n B. I already have one. She smirked. Then why wasnt there another n or alternatives? There was, infact your own n B came out but unfortunately none of it worked out. She sighed dejectedly and chewed on her lower lip. I could only sigh in confusion and stare at her. She was fucking beautiful and ssy and she was fit for Fanuel no doubt, but Fanuel doesnt give a damn about her, I could tell from his expression at the party. Shes so hellbent on having Fanuel, so am I. Even if I dont have Fanuel, I would never let anyone have him. So I would stick to her and use her to get Fanuel. I dont care anymore! I just want to do anything or everything to see that Fanuel doesnt end up with Christine. The deed is already done, I just need to step up my game ande up with a new n, even if it would mean bing the second wife and kicking that girl out, I would do soShe said seriously and I almostughed out loud. Okay, it seems my services are no longer needed then. Have a happy married life ahead. I stood up to go but she sent a sharp re towards me. Are you mocking me? How? Im only congratt Shut it! Youre just getting started dear, since shes your friend, get closer to her and make sure you convince her to allow you to stay with them in their new home. I gasped Thats not possible, Fanuel will literally throw me out. Thats why shes your friend, look for her weak point and make her do something that will make Fanuel ept you without a choice. Shes right. Christine is soft hearted and can do anything especially for the ones she loves. Think about that dear, you dont have to worry about any damages. I got it all covered updont forget that my Daddy is the president. She winked at me and I smirked. ****** Shes fine now. The doctor told Jay and he sighed in relief. Okay, can I see her now? Yeah, just dont disturb her much. She needs enough rest to let the wounds heal faster Jay nods his head at the doctor and dashed inside the ward room. Shey there peacefully and beautifully in her long pink silk dress, with a slit that revealed her long deliciousps and legs. Her hair was still neatly packed in a side bun and her make up was still intact. She was so beautiful that seeing her in this condition made his heart ache. He hated seeing her in pain, or in a stagnant position. He enjoyed watching her work and moved happily chatting away with her melodious voice and keeping her angelic smile. All of these just had to happen on his brothers wedding day. Jayden? Her voice snapped him out from his reverie. Laurel he sighed in worry. Are you okay, are you in pain? Do you need anything?. Stop it okay, Im not dead. Im very okay. She grins at him. You were almost.. he restrained his voice from saying the next words. How could he even say such a thing? It didnt happen okay, and all these would soon heal so stop being a worry wart. You became the sacrificialmb again for your friend. I never knew she was in danger again, I knew that ss was meant for Christine. We were chatting happily when all of a sudden. Her voice trailed in worry and horror. Gosh!! Christine would have been badly hurt if not for Edward. Shhh! Stop worrying, shes fine and she left with her husband. Youre the one who almost got hit and I cant help but want to punch something. But why will they fix such a weak chandelier in a grand event like that!! Laurel almost yelled. It wasnt how they fixed it, it was who unfixed it. She gasped in shock. Someone did that.? She asked in horror and Jayden could only sighed. She knows she wont stop asking him endless questions and she needs to rest, if theres anything she doesnt need right now is panic and worry. As for the person up there, his eyes couldnt miss the color of the dress. What was she doing up there the same time the chandelier fell? Jayden, someone is after Christines life, you need to tell Fanuel.. shes in danger. Her lips quivered in worry and Jayden cups her face. Hey! You need to rest. She will be fine, I promise. He tells her huskily and ms his lips on her. Chapter 42: Let me distract you CHAPTER 42. Christines Pov I wasnt cheating on you. Im shaking my head in pure disbelief. It sure looked like it to me. He whines sullenly. This is so unlike him. He is weirding out on me. Fanuel, drop that silly charade now. I thought it was you behind me. He snorts. Im sure you did. I mean it. I didnt know it was one of the guests. He turns to look at me then. He wasnt one of our guests. So you know him? Maybe. Who is he? It doesnt matter Christine. What you should endeavour to remember is that you should avoid that man. I can assure you that you wont be running into him often but its your life mission to stay away from him. Fanuel, if the guy poses any sort of danger towards me, you should probably let me know. The more informed I am, the better for everyone. Drop it. Ill make sure you wont run into him again. Im sure that Fanuel is hiding something but then he never tells me anything. This marriage is going to be shit if youre nning on keeping secrets. He looks at me over. Im tired and my head is aching. I just want to get on that jet and go to sleep. Oh well, he is avoiding me very deliberately. He knows that guy. What was that all about? Instead of pestering him, I lean back on the headrest and peek at him from underneath myshes. Jet? I ask casually while looking him over. Thats what I said. He snaps. You own a jet? I ask in disapproval. This guy is a nutcase. A fucking private jet!? He gives me that shut the fuck up look and I roll my eyes before I focus on the roof. We get to the airport in record time and Im surprised when Kol drives through a private security gate. He stops a few yards inside and Fanuel rolls down his window. A guard gives him a small salute then nods at me. Congrattions Mr and Mrs Fanuel. Mrs Fanuel? Oh well, I better get used to the name. I have to admit though, that the name has a nice ring to it. Kol drives right through then turns on the tarmac, the caring to a halt right next to the magnificent ne. Fanuels jet. He is beaming at me when I turn to stare at him. You like it? He asks with a smirk. I roll my eyes. Men and their toys. I know nothing about jets so maybe we should get this done with. I reply while yawning. He bursts outughing. Am I really that boring? Its been like an hour since we got married. Yeah you are that boring. I cant imagine how Im going to stand you for a whole year. His mood seems to have brightened. Youre really bing ferce these days, whats the scret? I dont want to give you the privilege of calling me a crybaby I smirked at him. Hes really right, Ive been acting more feisty and daring with him and he seems not toin. I snap at him, yell at him and ask him daring questions that arent my business. Maybe Im doing all of these cause I dont know what would befall once Im stuck at home with him. Maybe the wolf hes being hiding will unleash its terror and he would go back to the Fanuel I met, as for now;let me enjoy my feistiness with him. Too bad you are stuck with me huh? He asks cockily and I shake my head. Dont rub it on my face. Its already bad as it is. He snorts before he opens his door and steps out of the car. I watch through the window as he goes up the steps of the aircraft, Kol walking behind him. I seize that alone- moment to think. The day has been a real turmoil. Its just a wonder that we are still alive. There were so many chances we could have killed each other but we persevered. Well, I guess that Fanuel is decent enough when he is not getting on my nerves. He is somehow overprotective which absolutely confuses me but on the other hand, it makes me feel secure.. Protected and absolutely safe. I have no idea what ns he has for our honeymoon but I really dont care. Im not nning on spending time with him anyway. I will stay indoors and read my collection of books Holy shit. I didnt pack any books. Oh, wait.. I. didnt pack anything at all. I dont have clothes. What the hell am I going to wear? My door is opened and Seth stands there looking at me. I blush slightly when our eyes meet and he chuckles. I didnt pack anything. You should have told me we were leaving. I say while staring at his chest, deliberately avoiding his eyes. Damn, he looks perfect in a suit. His chest is so broad and I bite my lip, trying to push away any stray thoughts.. Dont worry about clothes. Your friends shopped and packed for you while you were napping yesterday. Oh.. wait.. Diana packed for me?Content ? N?velDrama.Org. Nope, Laurel. That cant be good. He frowns. Why? Shes your best friend, right? I figured youd like it better if she did that for you. I thought you didnt like Sherry He looks somehow nervous.. Maybe its because he thinks he disappointed me? I know; wishful thinking. Im fine with Laurel packing but I know that whatever she packed cant be good at all. She is a pervert Fanuel and I wont find a decent piece of clothing there. He grins. Seems like Im going to have a lot of fun then. You wish. I yell in his face. Youll go shopping if you dont like what she got for you. Better? Yeah thanks. Dont mention it. What are spouses for? I shake my head with mock disgust as he holds the hem of my champagne soaked gown and helps me out of the car. He wraps an arm around my waist as we walk up the steps into the ne. This guy is strangely good today. A tall guy in uniform moves to shake my hand. Congrattions Mrs Fanuel. Wee aboard. I am your captain for today. Its Christine please. Fanuel turns sharply to face me. What did you say? Okay. I just pulled the wrong strings again. He is furious. I said my name is Christine, all those protocols are just facies. He lifts that daring eyebrow. I see. Come with me. He leads me to thefortable double seats and we sit there right next to each other while the pilot and copilot move to the cockpit. I snap my fingers and keep my eyes on the window and I am very aware of his gaze on me. Buckle up. He orders and I do as instructed , struggling a bit with the harness. I feel so nervous seated next to him knowing that he is watching my every move. I have no idea how Im going to stand him forever. Are you going to take up my surname willingly or should I force you into it? He asks eventually and I swallow dryly before I turn to look at him, just as the ne taxis out on the runway. More threats and ckmails? I ask nonchntly. Maybe. I hate flying. I say to avoid conversation. Oh really? Just the take off and the touch down. Its kind of bumpy and it totally sets me off. I mean it. Im kind of scared and it always gets my heart racing. Right in cue, the ne starts its ascent and I close my eyes then grip the sides of my seat tightly. Immediately, Fanuels arm wraps around me and moves me against him. His fingers move delicately over the exposed skin on my shoulder. Let me distract you. He whispers huskily in my ear and before I can react, he tugs my chin up then crushes his lips on mine. Chapter 43: Fairies CHAPTER 43. Author Pov. Edward pulled over in the driveway and stepped out of the car. He was in the Hudsdons mansion and he needed to check on Jayden and his maid. That hit was a st and he wondered what he would have happened if he hadnt stepped in and pushed Christine. He tried so hard to decipher what had happened to the lights to cause great chaos but he couldnt. Good morning Mum. He bowed and greeted Mrs Hudson. Edward, youre here already. I was about to call you. His brows knitted into confusion. Really, I hope theres no problem? There is. Mum, please have a seat; you dont need to stand for long. He supported her and made her sit on the gold couch. Its Christine. She shakily said and continued. Her life is in danger and its so obvious that Fanuel doesnt give a damn! Edward sighed and could only agree with her. Yesterdays incident was enough to prove that Christine isnt safe. Youre right, I noticed that also. See? I dont want anything to happen to my daughter inw, you need to talk to Fanuel to triple the guards staying in his mansion, I cant bear to hear any bad news. I doubt Fanuel would listen to that, he will definitely tell me he cant waste his men on something thats just a sham. Thats why Im telling you this, if theres anyone Fanuel listens to it is you. Talk to him and make him do that, if possible; make him assign a personal maid to her. Nothing should happen to Christine despite his nonchnt attitude towards her, shes now a part of the Hudsons!. She said with so much authority and positivity that made Edward sigh. He promised to talk to Fanuel once they are back from their honeymoon and she sighed in satisfaction. Is Jay in? No, he went to the hospital this morning to check on that maid. Ok then, tell him I came around. I will, please stay for breakfast Dont worry, I will end up sleeping once I taste any meal in this house. I wille back for dinner. Alright then, take care of yourself. He nodded and took his leave, he hade over to talk to Jayden concerning what happened at the wedding, he just needed to clear his curiosity but too bad hes in the hospital.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Does he really care for her that much that he had to stay in the hospital for that long? He pinch his chin as walked out but bumped into someone. Not a hard bump though until he saw the person he bumped himself into, he ran mad with rage. What the f?k Alex?! No what the heck dude? Are you blind that you didnt see when I was walking? Yeah, forgive my klutz for not noticing a King who has the whole authority to block the entrance. He replied sarcastically and Edward bit his lips and smirked. Ive got precious time to spend on important things, not a vagabond like someone who decides to leave a wondend for a fairnd. hmmm.. fairnd huh? Could it be the reason why you act and think so lowly? Edward red at him. Fairy are tiny creatures, so tiny and useless. Keep bluffing nonsense, what the hell are you doing here? I should be the one to ask you that, this isnt your home Edward smiled dangerously at him. I dont know why you left Chicago but I promise to cut you Into shreds if you dont behave your stupid self in New Jersey. Men dont take it lightly with boys. Edward said and pushed him out of his way. Alex!! Edward gritted his teeth in anger and started the rear engine before speeding off. He was Fanuels paternal cousin and a pain in the ass ever since high school. His father was the special adviser to the President and his Mum was a chef. Hes a spoiled brat who always gets things done in his way and causes chaos anywhere he goes. He lived a reckless lifestyle and hes dangerously wicked. They all attended the same college and Alex always did a good job of getting Fanuel detained. He caused a great fight between Fanuel and Edward just because of a girl! Edward was madly in love with the Vice Presidents daughter but it was an unrequited love, Alex saw this as an opportunity to cause a conflict between the friends and framed Fanuel for sleeping with the girl meanwhile Fanuel doesnt give a shit about the existence of any girl. He had locked Fanuel up in the basement of the Hudson mansion for two days in a bid to kill him, Fanuel admitted that Alex was after his life. Alex had caused an ident by tampering with the brakes of Fanuel Hudson which caused him an ident that gave him a scar on his back but he turned it into a tattoo drawing. Fanuel was weak then but Alex was taunting, threatening and annoying. He lured Mirabel while they were dating and slept with her, showing him the video of their sex tape. Fanuel wasnt angry that Mirabel slept with a guy, he was mad that the guy was Alex! He hated Mirabel with passion and called off the rtionship without any reason. Mirabel took that as an advantage and told the press that she was tired of the rtionship. Alex hated Fanuel without any solid reason, Edward had tried to think maybe because Fanuel was healthy or cute, but these guys have the same qualities. They were fucking cute and dangerously rich. Ma Cruiz, Alex Dad had to send him to rehab in Chicago. He couldnt have it with him any longer but his return came as a bombshell of shock to everyone present at the wedding. Fanuel went mad with rage when he saw him touch Christine that if not for the media and press, he would have beaten him so hard to death. Edwards phone chimed loudly in his pocket and he used a hand to retrieve it. Celines name popped up and he sighed in frustration, he just realized how distant he had been with his girlfriend. He picked the call and waited for a st as usual. Yeah, his girlfriend is the Vice Presidents daughter currently and shes now a pain in the ass. He loved her no doubt but he isnt into anymitted rtionship bullshit, his cuteness needs to be shared. Hey babe. How dare you Edward? What have I done this time? You touched a girl and hugged her! Its all over the TV and magazine!! She screamed her lungs out. Edward scoffed without any hint of worry but rather saw the call as a very boring type and yawned, his eyes fixed on the road as he continued driving. Which girl again? At the wedding?! There were many girls Celine, youre a girl also so stop whining. Im talking about the bride you idiot!! How dare you touch Christine!! Chapter 44: Honeymoon crap CHAPTER 44. Christine Pov. I tense instantly. This is more than I bargained for. In as much as a current flows through me at his touch, Im kind of repelled. I should keep in mind that were only getting married for convenience. He is ckmailing me. He is threatening my parents and he treats me like trash, all this will wind up after a year. Hes doing all of this for hispany and He doesnt give a fuck about me. Hes only acting nice because its our wedding day and he doesnt want to create a fuss. He is going to get me pregnant and take my baby away from me if I leave him. I pull back instantly but his iron grip on my waist is relentless. He shoots me a confused look. Whats wrong? He asks like nothing just happened. You kissed me. He frowns. Okay, and? Youre not supposed to be doing that Fanuel. There are no cameras here so the charade is unnecessary. You are delusional Christine. Totally full of delusions. I only did that because you said you were scared of take offs. Oh, I murmur silently then stare at my fingers. I knew it. He would never kiss me out of passion. Not his type. Apparently, kissing me was his idea of being phnthropic. I feel empty, deprived, when he takes his arm from my waist. I hate how soothing his touch is. When I lift my eyes again, he is gazing at me intently. I gulp dryly when his eyes meet mine and he sighs. He must think that Im a nutcase; fighting him when he attempts to kiss me but swallowing dryly when our eyes lock. Are you hungry? His eyes never leave me while he asks that and I nod dumbly. I dont trust myself to speak. If I do, Im pretty sure my voice is going to break and he is going to find a reason to bully me. He eyes me warily. You should have told me you were hungry. I dont want to starve you to death. Im pretty fine Fanuel, Im not a baby. Then stop acting like one. You think Im acting like a baby? I ask harshly. No, I know you are acting like one. I cross my hands and re at him. Exin please. He seems to be all too eager to take on the challenge. We are married now Christine, so changing your surname is not an option, its settled. You shouldnt flinch when the captain calls you Mrs Fanuel. You are my wife now at least for a year, Deal with it. I flick my hair absently. Thats the only thing that makes you think Im acting like a baby? Nope. You pulled back when I tried to kiss you. I was trying to soothe you because you were whining and you know how much your talking makes my headache. I lift an eyebrow. Does it hurt your head? Like crazy. Not that I mind much when you keep bargaining and arguing or when youre being downright unreasonable. Its just that Im not used to so much talking around me. Fanuel, weve not talked much since we met. We have never shared a table. The rest have been a few impromptu cleaning in your room and that upstairs bedroom. I really have no idea when you get to hear the noise. Youre making noise right now. He notes with a smug face and I fight the urge to scream. You are so annoying Fanuel. Thats an insult. People usually say that Im.. let me think of all the synonyms.. aggressive, oriented, tyrannical Shut up. I dont want to hear that. He grins. What do you want to hear then? Nothing at all. Fine. But you should know that Im feared in the business world. I talk and things happen. I snap my fingers and people get hired or fired. Do I look like one of your employees? Im stuck there because of some sin my father did, Im also powerful in my world so stop rubbing it all over my face. I snapped at him and red. He snorts. You are just obnoxious Christine. Im trying to portray a more amodating character around you but you dont even notice. You are just absorbed in your own little world to notice the effort that Im putting into this marriage shit, I hit you before and made you do something that almost cost you your life. The least I can do is tolerate your insults and try to be nice. Why do you even bother? We both know this marriage thing is a sham. And for the record, you are the one ckmailing me. He gazes at me then shakes his head. Im hungry. And my head is totally aching. I scoff before I flop back on the luxurious leather seat. I should probably start hunting for a shrink if Im going to stay with my new husband. The food is delicious and once again, Im reminded that Fanuel settles for nothing but the best. I chuckle silently when the double meaning of my statement hits me. He definitely didnt settle for the best when choosing me. He could have done much better honestly. There are lots of pretty leggy models out there dying for his attention but he is stuck in a jet with me headed to God knows where. Half the time, were not even on speaking terms. Im doing all this to cast my fear of the unknown when we reach our destination, deep down Im scared. Being alone with Fanuel hudson is something I cant describe. I mean hes scary as hell and all authoritative, he even beat the crap out of me but here I am talking to him like a possessive wife and hes not doing shit about it. Hes talking calmly and he is still the most handsome man I everid my eyes on and he still leaves those tingly sparks on my skin whenever he touches me but I cant imagine myself hooking up with him knowing very well that he doesnt even care about how I look, I wonder if he will stare at me the same way I stare at him, he makes me angry and drives me crazy. Now that Im sober, its easy to figure out that he is a goal oriented jerk who gets what he wants, whenever he wants it. He believes that Im one of his conquests but theres no way Im letting him troll over me and treat me like a piece of shit. That was then but not anymore. Especially when we are both doing ourselves a favor. You should change now. It wont be long before we get to our destination. He says while flicking that hooded gaze to me. I nce at my watch and I realize weve been flying for just over three hours.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Its not far. I note quietly and he frowns. I didnt know you wanted to go far away. I thought this ce was going to be pretty interesting since youre not an outdoor person. Im notining about Fanuel. I could do without the honeymoon pretense. He leans over, We had to do this for the sake of appearance. Imagine whats going to happen if those idle paparazzi see me in the office a day after I get married? It dawns on me then. This was simply inevitable. Im grateful that he was sensible enough to choose somewhere not so far away. As I said earlier, I could function perfectly well without the honeymoon crap. Im so d that Fanuel knows exactly what to do. For a fleeting moment, Im somehow grateful that he is mine; my husband, for now. Christine, with all due respect, stop staring at me and go get out of that dress. Unless you want me to help you peel it off of course. I shake my head at his perverseness as I stand up. I think Ill pass on the offer. I was kidding. Theres a room at the far end. Itll serve the purpose. Im aware of his eyes on me as I walk as gracefully as I can towards the room. I feel stupid the moment I step inside the small gleaming room; I dont have any clothes with me. A knock on the door puzzles me and I open it casually, dread flowing through me. I have a huge sigh of relief when I realize that its not Fanuel. The pretty hostess hands me a floral blue dress with a smile and I force a smile back before I close the door, my face set in a scowl. Trust Seth to remember that I left without any clothes. The door is wrapped again and I groan before I pull it open. The same hostess is standing there, the eternal smile perfectly in ce. Mrs Fanuel? Your husband requested me to help you remove that gown. Im fine.. Umm.. Its Lara. She says quickly. Lara, I got this. Really. Your husband Is a little bit overbearing. He insisted that I help you with the gown maam. She is not giving up. I scowl before I step back to let her in. I turn around and I feel the cool hands on my exposed skin as she works on the back. If the gown wasnt stained, I would have stayed in it just to spite my new overbearing husband. The blue getaway dress reaches mid thigh and I pull it down without much sess. Its just too short. I knew this was going to happen the moment Fanuel mentioned that Laurel shopped for me but I didnt know shed go to such extremes. I stare at my reflection in the full length mirror. My eyes are wide and my face is flushed. My hair is in massive curls and for once, I feel like Im actually a bit presentable, my short dress notwithstanding. with the super short dress that my best friend so willingly chose for me. Ill kick her ass when I get back. Fanuels eyes give nothing away when I walk back to my seat. Thats too short. He says quietly. I told you Laurel is a pervert. Im notining. Its a nice view from where Im seated but I dont want those crazy people taking photos of you wearing that. I hope she packed something longer than this one. Im not sure. I told her to buy a blue dress and pack it separately for today. You know you look awesome in blue. I frown. Can you at least keep yourpliments to yourself? Of course Mrs Fanuel. Chapter 45: Wife from hell CHAPTER 45. Christine Pov I look through the window when the taxi pulls up outside our hotel. Its a massive building, at least three times bigger than Fanuels mansion back in the city. I should have known that Fanuel would go for nothing but the grandest, most exquisite hotel there was while still keeping it near home. In the distance, the sea stretches to infinity. Now that I dont have any books to keep me busy, Ill be spending most of my time in the water. I should at least spot a tan to show for my honeymoon. Fanuel opens my door then steps back to usher me out. He takes my hand and I try to pull away but he tightens his hold, making me wince. His tight hold is not painful but its outright ufortable. What? Let me go. I whisper as he leads me to the hotel. Dont be dumb Christine. This ce is open and anyone could see us. You should really start acting like my wife. I huff. Getting married was your idea and I daresay its the worst idea ever. He releases my hand as we walk into the reception. I know. The receptionist smiles at Fanuel whose face remains pretty impassive.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Wee Sir. Have you booked a room yet? She bats hershes at him, acting like I dont exist. Yes we already booked. Its under Fanuel Hudson. He gives her a bored look as she clicks a few keys on theputer. Im fighting a scowl. Now Ill have to worry about women seducing my husband. Shut up Christine, youre not his type. My subconscious is sneering at me. Here is your key card Mr Fanuel. Your bags will be brought up. Anything else I can do for you? The bitch of a receptionist purrs as she hands Fanuel our key cards, touching his knuckles very deliberately before she pulls back and flicks her hair, sitting up straight in her chair such that her boobs jut out. I follow her every move with a frown. I feel anger bubbling through me and I know that shed be dead meat if Iid my hands on her. Not his type. Fanuels words flow into my head and my resolve is shattered. I am not his type. She is more of his type. She is obviously pretty and her face is painted inyers of make-up. Fanuel takes my hand and tags me to the elevator and I walk proudly, knowing that the receptionist is watching us. See bitch, he is mine. We lean on opposite sides of the elevator as it whisks us to the thirteenth floor. Fanuel eyes me warily and I keep my gaze on his chest, deliberately avoiding his eyes. Im dying tosh out on him but Im not about to let him know that Im jealous. I stay quiet even as we walk down the corridor and Fanuel opens the door to a secluded hotel room. He steps aside when the door swings open and lets me walk in first. Always the gentleman. I take in the room with my eyes and my breath hitches. Its the most ostentatious room Ive ever been in. Itsrge, with a nice sitting area and a couch that is big enough to amodate at least five adultsfortably. The TV set sits at the corner and bouquets of flowers are arranged in strategic positions. The room smells of strawberries and I find myself inhaling deeply. I love strawberries. I move my eyes to the huge heart shaped bed on the extreme corner of the all white room and Im sure that my mouth hangs open. On top of the billowy white pillows and sheets lies more flowers than I could ever imagine in my wildest dreams. The roses are fresh and the petals look smooth and inviting. I walk to the bed and pick a pink rose, cing it on my nose and taking a deep breath. My eyes wander to a red card tied with ribbons and I read the single sentence written in a neat halting handwriting. Congrattions Mr and Mrs Fanuel. Say something. Fanuels deep voicees from somewhere behind me and I turn abruptly. He is looking at me with his hands in his pockets and I take a deep breath. Im taking the couch. He frowns. Are you going to make a fuss about sharing a bed with me? Actually yes. His frown deepens. Why? Why not? I challenge myself right back. Dont be kiddish Christine. I was hoping that wed try and have a normal marriage but Im not going to touch you if you dont want me to. I can feel the sincerity rolling off his tongue. This is not about sleeping together Fanuel. Not that we wont have sex anyway, this is all your n. He takes a step towards me. The atmosphere in here seems to have changed and it feels like something tangible hangs in the room. Then what is it about? Our Union is fucked up. Im here today because you ckmailed me into this, because my dad stole some millions and I happen to be the sacrificialmbstop this useless pretense of yours cause youre just trying to hide the wolfish you! You threatened the people I love to get me to marry you. How am I supposed to share a bed with you without strangling you? I dont even trust you. You dont trust me? Hell no. He rocks on his heels before he walks past me to sit on the bed, pushing the flowers aside. Did I ever give you a reason not to trust me? Lots of reasons. We have time. I want to hear them. I sigh before I flop on the bed, making sure that theres some space between us. You kidnapped me on Friday night, stered my picture on the newspaper on Sunday, held me hostage in your house on Monday, Beat the crap out of me and pushed me to that dark chemical basement to die, threatened to hurt my parents and my best friend that same night and to top it all, youre appearing all nice and warm, why would I trust you? He presses his fingers to his temples. Herees the headache. I roll my eyes. What a waste of breath. He stands up. Fine, Ill take the couch. You take the bed. You are thedy here and I wont let you sleep on a damned couch. I gasp in surprise, who is this man? I thought I was your maid, this is all a sham.. so why all these features? Christine, can you stop?!!! He yelled. Im trying to be nice dont unleash the dangerous venom in me. I swallowed hard and kept quiet. That was easy. I was somehow expecting him to force me to share the bed with him. I heave a sigh of relief. Thank you. He nods. Do you need anything? Water, food Water. Wait, are you going to call that bitchy receptionist? If yes, then I dont want water anymore. He frowns and shakes his head, then retrieves a bottle of mineral water from the fridge I hadnt noticed. Bitchy receptionist? He asks with furrowed brows as he hands me the bottle. Its nothing. Christine, tell me now. What is wrong? All my anger hormones jump up at his casual tone. Are you going to stand there and act like that woman doesnt have the hots for you? He bursts outughing. What are you talking about? Hisughter throws me over the edge. She was flirting with you right in front of me. She didnt even acknowledge me, I know all this is fake but I deserve some respect. I snap angrily and he stopsughing when he realizes that Im actually serious. She wasnt flirting. She gave me our keys then we walked to the elevator. She was flirting with you Fanuel. Im not a moron, I know what I saw. He exhales soundly. I think youre being delusional again. No Im not. She was practically pushing her boobs into your face. Theyre fake. What? The breasts. They are fake. I stand up. You actually noticed them huh? He shakes his head. Im not blind and her chest was right in front of me. What was I supposed to do? Close my eyes? She was pretty too huh? I snap again. Honestly, I cant even remember what she looked like. I had a lot on my mind. What was on your mind? I was wondering whether you were going to love this room and the flowers and all that. For once in my life I was able to do all of this myself and that was in my mind all through. Now if youre done throwing a tantrum because you are jealous, I would like to step out for some air. The sight of the setting sun across the sea is breathtaking. I bite my lip and stare at the thick Persian rug. Im acting like the wife from hell the jealous wife. The exact thing that Fanuel doesnt want in a wife. I have no right to be jealous. We are not in love. We are married for convenience. Are youing? Fanuels voice makes me look up and I shake my head. After my show of jealousy, I should avoid him for a while. I dont want him to bully me and make fun of me. Chapter 46: The contract Alex Pov. I smiled mischievously as I left the mansion. It seems I need toe back some other time as no one was in the house except Mrs Hudson. Yeah, shes the only naive angel that wees me despite the sweet friendship I share with her son. Maybe its because we are family and she cant help but still ept me. Being back feels so fucking good and theres this feeling of euphoria that my ns is going to run smoothly. Damn! Fanuels wife is so fucking cute and sexy! Where the hell did he see that one? I was thinking Mirabel was everything but I was wrong. I chewed on my gum slowly and softly before ncing at my wrist watch. Take me to the white house. I told my driver who nodded and swerved direction immediately. I need to see Mirabel, I need a lot of information from her even though Ive already heard and researched some of it. Hudsons Chemical technologies was at the brink of copsing and all of a sudden hes getting married. Isnt he supposed to be running a helter skelter trying to save his dearpany? His dad is still in aa and hes celebrating. Wait! I also heard he had a contract with the president and the world bank is ready to give him a loan, so why the marriage charade? The Fanuel I know behaves like a gay even though hes like a honey with a swarm of bees clinging to him, girls never stop drooling. He doesnt give a fuck about girls! Ah! He must really like this one and thats what tickles my fancy. Im going to take her from him and marry her to spite him. Now that Im back, Im going to make sure that hispany crumbles to dust. He must pay for what he did to me even though he keeps acting ignorant about it, his life is going to be a living hell for him! If hes smart, Im going to be smarter! If hes good, Im going to be clever. If hes bad, Im going to be dangerous! Im definitely going to burn him like an iron on a hot furnace, he will definitely feel the pain but he wont burn his skin, his pain will flow so bright that he will crumble. We are here boss. My driver said and I jumped down from the car. Nothing has changed here, still the same white french designs with white royal robes disyed at every corner of the house. Lines of gs pping proudly and a sight of water fall topliment its magnificent aura and beauty. I jogged inside and went straight to the elevator, the guards bowed and I nodded. Ive been here countlessly so theres no need for all the formal greetings and protocols. The ding sound of the elevator chimed and the door slid open with a man eagerly waiting to enter inside. I stared at him when I stepped out but he stylishly bent his head low as he punched the ground floor key for the door to slide. I stood there trying to picture his features as he looked awfully familiar! What would a familiar person be doing in Mirabels vi? I shook the thoughts off and walked down the ssy passage that leads to her room. Therge exquisite room was empty and quiet but I could hear noisesing from the. Shes bathing. I sat and waited for the next twenty minutes when she came out with her pink bathrobe and her maids followed suit. She gasped on seeing me and gestured her maid out. Have some fucking respect Alex and get out! Really, but we are the only ones herewhy did you send your maids out? Why did youe here unannounced? What? So do I need to tell you anything before I visit my girlfriend? Can you just stop all these, Im not your girlfriend! She seethed and I gave her that my smirk. Stop being delusional Mirabel, you cant have what is not yours? I told her and she sneered. She knew I was talking about Fanuel and I knew that she still wanted Fanuel back. I know about her ns to destroy the wedding and her sweet quarrel with Fanuels wife. Why are you here Alex? She sighs dejectedly and I stood up and walked to her. She was still beautiful no doubt but she was really dumb and naive. I cupped her chin and caressed her lips but she pushed me off. Dont even think of that Alex, shut that out of your mind. What should I shut? You know and why the heck did youe back to New Jersey, I thought you started a new life already in Chicago? Of course I started a new life and Im back to disy that life. What? You expected me to stay like a dumb child in the rehab huh? When I had important missions to aplish, I was lying low and I had to let the sleeping dogs lie for the meantime. What are you up to this time around Alex? Why not guess? Youre always up to no good, just get the hell out let me dress up. She said dismissively and I held her milky hands. What if Im up to something that might benefit you? I cocked my head tons side and smirked. What? It would really benefit you and you could get your Fanuel back? Her face lit up in surprise and anticipation and she came closer to me as if what Im hiding is written on my body. Really? Yeah, Ive got ns. ns that could make me ride on a roller coaster and make Fanuel a broken trash. Yeah! She can go have him, Ive got a new catch after all.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. Then spit it up and stop killing me in suspense, Ive got my ns too and an insider that helps me with every information. I just dont trust you Alex, your presence might crush things for me. Mirabel, have you ever seen two heads fail when they decide to co-operate and work together? I wont go to the rehab for three years ande back with a dumb n, Ive got this. I know you want Fanuel so bad and I want. You want what? I want his wife? Are you for real, you came all the way from Chicago to take his wife? Do you even know that girl? Whats so special about amon maid whose father was a thief and agreed to sign a contract to save thepany from crumbling!! Mirabel yelled, obviously irritated that I was talking about her. It seems she really dislikes her, that wasnt my motive though. I want to take his wife, crumble thatpany and take the most precious thing away from him. Contract? Yeah, thepany was already marching into destruction and failure until he got married before he could save it. I said it! Fanuel cant just wake up and dere marriage, so stupid of me to think that he actually likes the girl when hes doing all of this for his personal gain. Shit!!! I still want the girl though. How do you know all of this? I told ya, I got an insider who feeds me with juicy contents. Whos this person? I cant tell you Fanuel, that wasnt the deal. Im to protect their identity! Fine, I dont care as long they dont fret in the process They wont. Theres something really interesting about this? What? The contract Huh? Its a huge tool to our n, the public doesnt know all of this and that though it was an actual marriage, once the press and the stakeholders of theirpanye to realize this they could sue him for infringement of personality and withdraw all contracts assigned to him. Then I can take up from there and be his wife to him She says dramatically and scoff. Savior. By then I would kill you and trash you out, cause youre going to be a stumbling block to my ns. Chapter 47: Too much Hustle Christine Pov. The sleep that I never gotst nightes to me as soon as Fanuel leaves the room. He has changed into ck jeans and a tight ck T-shirt and I almost changed my mind about apanying him at thest minute. I know the beach will be flooded with people and I hope against hope that I wont show him just how jealous I am when he is with girls out there. Its just a pity that he is too handsome to be ignored. I text Laurel and Diana before I drift to sleep, letting them know that Im still breathing. ***** I walk up the stairs carrying my heavy rucksack full of books and a few students grin at me. It must be easy to tell that Im a freshman in college since Im pretty sure that I look nervous and I have all those bags with me. My step dad is a few steps behind me tugging the rest of my luggage along and I huff as I take thest flight of stairs. My mum should have brought me to school herself. She forces me to ept Webb as my father and its simply never going to happen. I have this weird feeling about him that just wont go away no matter how hard I try. I just cant like him. As soon as I walk inside my new dorm, he is over me. He kicks the door shut then pins me against the wall, whispering obscenities in my ear and pulling my clothes apart. Webb. Hush. If you rx then I wont hurt you. He says withboured breath, his hands groping my breasts. Stop. You are hurting me. I whimper helplessly and he gets more excited if anything. I gasp when he throws me on the bed then scream in pain when he forces himself inside me, tearing my hymen ruthlessly. Christine? His voice sounds different.. Familiar and I desperately try to push him off me. Christine, open your eyes. He is shaking me, pulling me into his arms.. He is going to hurt me. I recoil from his touch but his grip is tight around me. Open your eyes, okay? Its me. Wait.. thats not Webbs voice. I struggle to open my eyes and Ie face to face with a broad naked chest. I gulp in fear and I start to fight, pushing him off me. However, not even once does let his hold on me cken. Its me, okay? Im not going to hurt you. Fanuel. Its Fanuel; my symbol of security and protection. The man I married because I believed that Im untouchable around him. I throw my arms around him and I crush him against me. My heart is racing from the nightmare and my grip on him must be painful. He holds me tightly while rocking me like a baby. He doesnt let me go even though I know that weve probably been lying there for a while. Finally, I am able to breath normally and I loosen my hold on him. I lift my head from his shoulder, keeping my eyes closed. Im weak and dependent; again the exact opposite of what Fanuel wants in a wife. You can release me now. I say in a whisper. Im not sure why Im whispering. Maybe its because he found me screaming my heart out from a silly nightmare that makes me feel like a weakling. He takes his arms from around me and I open my eyes, realizing that lights are zing in the room. It must be night already. Im lying across the bed and Fanuel is right next to me. He props himself on one elbow and scrutinizes me. How are you feeling? He asks quietly. Fine. How are you really feeling Christine? I take in a deep breath. Like shit. He looks at me silently for a long while before he slips out of bed. I follow him with my eyes as he takes his T-shirt from the couch where he had draped it. He is wearing sweatpants and his hair is wet. I guess he just stepped out of the shower. When did youe back? I ask, trying to distract myself. I dont want him to notice that Im staring at his chest and abs. That chest; damn. An hour ago. He replies while slipping the shirt over his head. I ordered room service. Thank you. Ill take a shower first. You go ahead and start eating. He lifts an eyebrow and I ignore him as I climb out of bed. Our clothes are arranged neatly in the closet and I assume someone did that while I slept. I look at the clothes Laurel bought for me and shake my head. Shes not serious. Nothing makes sense in there. Its a mass of silk and satin and theres no way Im wearing that. The rest are two pairs of jeans and tops. I cant wear that to bed, can I now?. I run my fingers over a particr silk chemise and my cheeks grow warm. Im sure theyre fifty shades of red. I cant imagine Fanuel seeing me in that. It wouldnt even cover the essentials. You dont like the stuff your friend bought you? Fanuels voice reminds me that Im not alone in the room. I quickly ce the silky piece of shit back. Its too much. I figured out as much. She was nning the perfect outfits for a romantic honeymoon at the beach so you cant me her. How about we go shopping tomorrow? They have malls on the ind? He shakes his head. Well have to fly back to the city. Too much hustle. Just let it go. Ill manage. Dont be stubborn Christine. What are you going to wear to bed? I think Ill just sleep in this dress. Oh no you wont. Its too tight and you might suffocate in that. He pulls his T-shirt over his head and tosses it to me. Wear that. Its less clingy. I swallow dryly and gulp. Did he just offer his T-shirt? Okay, he is a new Fanuel, not the same guy who was threatening my family and beat me up to crap. Im tempted to toss it back to him but I really have nothing to sleep in. What are you going to wear? He chuckles. Dont worry about me. I dont even need it. I only wore it because you freaked out when you woke up and noticed that I was bare chested. I didnt mean to make you ufortable. I nod. Fanuel is bipr, I guess. His moods shifts in a second. I wonder why he is being so sweet at the moment. I grab the T-shirt and a random set of lingerie then disappear into the bathroom. The T-shirt reaches mid thigh and it carries that sweet natural scent that is simply Fanuel. Its too big for me but it doesnt matter. I run ab through my hair after a quick shower. I didnt dare wet my hair since I dont want to spend an hour drying it. Fanuel moves his eyes up and down my body when I walk in. Im aware that half of my thighs are exposed but theres nothing I can do about it. I sit on the sofa beside him and Im d when he doesntment on my state of undress. He pushes a te of some exotic food dripping with ketchup towards me and I eat slowly, barely feeling the taste. I am too preupied. Fanuel and I are not talking much since the nightmare saga and I convince myself that I wont feel guilty for that. Its not my fault that he had to y Knight in shining armor. Halfway through my food, I cant eat anymore. I push the te away then make it stand up. Fanuel pulls me back down before I take a step. Youre so quiet for once. Are you okay? He asks, genuine concern creasing his handsome face. I thought my talking made your head ache. It honestly does. Now, I believe I asked a question. Are you okay? Ill be fine once I lie down. Tell me about your nightmare. What did you hear? You were calling Webb, asking him to stop hurting you. He gazes at me, his face devoid of emotions. Did your dad hurt you in your dreams? Let it go. You are my wife, remember? Im supposed to make sure that you are fine.. to protect you. To kill anyone that tries to hurt you. Something in my heart melts. I chuckled really hard, I definitely married the right guy, his ckmail notwithstanding. You cant help with this Fanuel. Its beyond you, did you just say you will hurt my dad? Thats not exactly what I meant, I was just stressing that fact to anyone. Dont bore yourself with an unnecessary nightmare of mine.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. How about you let me be the judge of that? I sigh deeply. Not tonight. I dont want to relive those memories right now. He shrugs. If that makes you feel better then fine. Go to bed. I stand up gratefully. Im really d he didnt push it. Goodnight Fanuel Goodnight wifey. I roll my eyes. And Fanuel? Yeah? Please leave the lights on. He frowns briefly before replying. Sure. Chapter 48: Honey crap CHAPTER 48. Fanuels Pov. Dont tell me no one got a clue or a hint on how her dress was torn! Im sorry boss but we dont have any idea, weve investigated and even checked thetv for any sign to capture such person but its all nk Kol, so youre trying to say that a random stranger walked to my house and tore my wifes gown, huh? IIm sorry, we will dig into the matter. He stuttered after I stared daggers into his eyes. What was his duty as a bodyguard when his presence was so useless! I personally asked him to be with Christine all through to avoid her running away or any story that will touch the heart. I couldnt describe how I felt when Christine had cried that her gown was torn, I thought she did it herself but the voice and tune she wore was that of fear. She seemed scared that Im going to hurt her because of that and I seethed in anger, she wasnt supposed to feel that way and Im not supposed to feel that way either. Im not supposed to care whether she was scared, hurt, or suffering. I shouldnt give a fuck but I was vibrating with anger. I had called Shirley and went straight to the point that she thought I was an imposter. Who are you? she had said that day and my voice was deadly calm. I have a wedding, my wifes wedding dress is torn, My parents are present with powerful businessmen and friends, the press and crew are all over and I have a damn contract to sign after this. You only have 60 seconds to figure out a new dress for my wife and she has only 30 minutes to arrive here if not consider your fashion licensed revoked and your precious fashion house locked down. The heavy gasp that followed was priceless as she cut the call and went down to work. I wasnt disappointed at all, thats Shirley for you. Ive known her since high school and even though she has the hots for me, I definitely dont give a damn. She was just too good as a fashion designer and I rendered help in opening a fashion line for her. Christine was breathtaking that I couldnt help but give her a thumbs up, everything was going well until that wonderful st shattering of the chandeliers. Get the hell out of my sight and tell Edward toe over here, I need to talk to him I dismissed my men. I had called them for this case but they were spewing rubbish. Wait! Get me the managers contact Which contact boss? The stupid grand reception that almost took the life of my wife or her friend. He nodded gleefully and went out. Its weird how I keep saying my wife perfectly like it has no meaning. I cant believe it, No! I was mad when Christine refused to acknowledge my name. Aside form the public protocols, theres this feeling of aplishment or responsibility when shes being called that and I fucking like that. Call me weird but thats how I feel. I feel possessive, owned, taken, having a sense of responsibility and feeling very stupid for feeling that. Jeez guys!! Get a grip guy. Shes the daughter of a thief! Wait! She had a very bizarre nightmarest night and it kept me wondering why her dad would want to hurt her, could it be that she misses her dad so much.. tch! that scumbag! He had a precious daughter and went ahead to squander millions and fled without thinking about the preparation of his act. And Christine? Shes being so fiesty! I know she already has this jungle behavior but it intensified to another level and I find it amusing in a strange way. I love arguing with her and staring her re at me on any statement I make. She talks a lot and stares at me with some kind of bitter-sweet description. She looks at me like Im the sexiest person on earth with love and another time she sees me as some piece of trash, like an ugly monster who treated her like crap and that gives me an irky feeling from the pit of my stomach. I really hate that look. Drakes In your feelings ringtone sted out from my phone and I retrieved the phone from my pocket. It was Jayden. Hey Hi married man, how is the honeymoon? I scoffed and fought a grin from appearing. Its actually none of your business, you broke the rule by calling. Singles arent supposed to disturb couple during their honeymoon. My bad.. did I hurt you? How can you ever forgive a single soul like me? He fakes a crying tone and I chuckled. Did you call me for all this Jayden or you want me to send the cops to instill some manners into you? Douchebag! How is Christine? None of your business. Stop being a psychopath.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. I think youre crazy, why would you ask about my wifeshes not your responsibility. Jayughed out mockingly. Drop that charade Fanuel, it doesnt suit you. Ive told you to sign up with an actingpany, youre definitely going to win some Oscar awards. Silence Uhhmmso how is she? Silence Fanuel ugh! Whats wrong with you? Fine! Her friend was actually asking about her and I really want to know how shes faring.. dont worry about that, I will call herter. How is Laurel? I finally asked him. None of your business! Get the fuck off from my phone Wait! . Oak Bay mining is still taking the case to court! That old man is ying with fire! What the heck? Youre to appear in court on Monday, its everywhere on the news and magazine. That thwart!! Who the hell does that to a groom who just got married? Ive got somewyers to Look into it and defend the case, that man just wants the downfall of Hudson technology; I even went as far as giving him an offer of high interest rate since he doesnt want the project again but he refused. Really!! You shouldnt have done that! I just had to. I already went there with the team board members and he told me straight to my face that that thepany will crumble That junk!! Dont worry Jay, I will appear in court on Monday.. I just need to teach him a little lesson before smashing the four walls of Oak Bay to dust. You cant! Youre still on your honeymoon! Honey crap! You make meugh at times. One moment you mock me for being serious and I should take up acting skills, the second moment you take all this marriage crap very seriously, dont you think you need a psychiatrist? I dont know what to ever say to you Fanuel, do what you want concerning thepany but try and be nice to Christine before the contract ends, we know how much you detest her but please dont be the worst husband. He said and hung the call. Dont be the worst husband.. Thats really outrageous, that name makes me creep talkless of acting like one. Do I really detest her? Gosh!! Why do I even care? I got up from the soft Italian single couch and stretched my bones and yawned. She should be up by now so I better check on her. My phone rang again and I hissed in frustration. Whats it with everyone disturbing me on my honeymoon? I looked at the contact ID and my brows furrowed into confusion. It was Mirabel. Chapter 49: Poisonous venom Christine. Having napped in the evening, Im not able to get any sleep. Insomnia has been eating me since Webb raped me and I swore to stop using sleeping pills when I realized I was bing too dependent on them. The lights are zing and Fanuel is breathing softly on the couch. I almost feel guilty for letting him crash on the sofa but that was entirely his idea. I know we should be sharing a bed since we are married but our marriage is a fuck up. Ill be downright ufortable sleeping on the same bed with him. I roll over for what must be the hundredth time. I should have brought my sleeping pills. I know that Ill get nightmares once I fall asleep but I dont like staying awake either. I focus on the chandelier, wondering what I ever did wrong to deserve such a lifestyle. I cant sleep in a dark room without freaking out. I should be over the rape terror already but I just cant help it. I curse Webb under my breath. He did this to me. That bastard. I hope his ass will rot in jail wherever he is, he doesnt deserve to live. My phone chimed and I realized the tons of messages and missed calls, did I sleep that long? I nced at the wall clock and realized its already 12:00 noon. Shit! What a sleeping log. I was about dialing Mums number when Edward called. I picked it without hesitating and sneakishly left the room to avoid waking Fanuel up. He was so fucking cute to be disturbed with his ragged breathing and his BTS designed top. It was all pink with the branded ck logo. His diamond ne rested beautifully on his milky neck and I could see myself licking him if given the chance. His ruffled hair was beautifully curled scatteredly and tendrils of his short hair danced randomly on his Greek face. This guy was too beautiful! I reached the balcony of the room and I picked the call. Hi Christine, Are you okay? Are you hurt, hope Fanuel didnt hit you? He asked breathlessly as his voice wasced with concern and that melts me to the core. This guy actually saved me from that huge chandelier fall and hes acting all worried about me. Im fine Edward, you dont need to worry.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. Im d youre okay, but we all worry as long as youre with that psychopath. I chuckled when he called his friend that, I already know they use vulgar words with each other. Please dont be, Im really sorry for not sparing a time to thank you for saving me, you literally saved my life and body. Youre truly my angel. UhmEdward? Im here, I wasnt expecting that from you. Im sorry, if I took too long to thank you.. please forgive my weak self and naiveness, I was so tired that I slept like a log. Gosh Christine! That wasnt what I meant. I meanyou calling me . angel, damn!! Its the sweetest word ever and I wasnt expecting that. Ouch! Then I should call you devil then? That would break my heart. I chuckled. He has a way of ying with words and hes never boring. Im the one whos supposed to be saying that I dont deserve any of this attention from him, I dont deserve him saving me talking more ifmunicating with him, hes way above my league but he acts as if we are in the same level or ss. So how are you? We both chorused and I broke intoughter. You already asked me Edward! My bad, I had to be sure again, just in case you got into the bad side of Fanuel. Can you please try to be calm and do all what he says without annoying him so he wont bother to yell or hit you? Really? I will, since itsing from youI will be calm Great, I will being over to see him for some business stuff. Okay then, I will be expecting you A smooth clearing of the throat could be here and I slowly turned to stare at the eyes of some strange person. No, this was not Fanuel. This one could squeeze the life out of me with his sses, he was staring daggers at me that I stuttered. What did I do wrong? Okay, your friend is actually fine. i havent seen Diana ever since the event, have you heard from her? Christine? . Hello? Im a. s.. sso.. sorry, can I call youter?'' Fanuel wasing closer and he seemed angry, God! I didnt get on his bad side today, whats it with this attitude and dangerous aura around him? Are you done? His voice was not calm at all. Huh? Are you done sneaking out on me to call someone else? I swallowed dryly. You didnt want me to listen to whatever youre going to say so you had the guts to sneak out on me. Jeez! You were sleeping okay? I didnt want to wake you up, not that I care but I was only doing this for courtesys sake! Youre already lying like a cheating wife. I gasped in horror. Cheating wife? Wheres thising from? I wasnt cheating on you Fanuel besides it was your friend who called!! Whats with these baseless usations? Ive told you to drop it, theres no press or media recording, this act doesnt suit you at all! I regretted saying that because his eyes were burning with rage. Act?! You call all this Im doing an act? Am I a joke to you? What the heck is wrong with everybody calling me an actor? Does it look like Im acting? I was lying there worried about you and why you were still sleeping till now only to wake up and snitch on me to receive a call and youre calling that an act? What is the actual grail? Nobody actually believes me when Im serious. You l all said i cant do anything for myself and now youre all saying Im acting. And why the heck Im I even bothered by that?!!! He yelled frustratingly and I was never confused in my entire life before. He was all worked up because I said he should drop the act of pretense, hes still pissed at the fact that Easton told him he cant do anything and hes getting angry for making a call at his back! Wow!! Come and eat something, you didnt have anything since you woke up His voice is unbelievably calm and normal and he switches the topic. Stop staring Christine and move to the dining room before the press stamps it on a billboard that you were on hunger strike on your honeymoon. I snapped my eyes open and I nodded, still unable to exin his actions back there, I entered inside and with different thoughts swimming in my mind. One thinghing II know for sure is that Fanuel is bipr and getting rxed in this behavior of his is very dangerous cause I dont know the poisonous venom he carries at the back of his head when stepped upon. Chapter 50: A dead meat Christine He was just silently staring at everything I did, it was so silent that it was so ufortable. I needed to cook, I was tired of the expensive meals that I badly needed a homemade prepared meal. He was against it as usual and I didnt press further, I just let it go his way and followed Edwards advice of not getting Into his bad side. My countenance changed and I became moody until I I heard him sigh in frustration and dragged me out of the house to the mini mart on the ind. The ingredients werent enough but it was okayokay to prepare a meal. I cooked, washed the tes, cleaned up the messed up part of the kitchen and all Fanuel could do was stare. Why was he staring at me like that! Like.. like he wants. Jeez Christine, in your wildest dreams. I shoved every delusional thought at the back of my head and concentrated. We ate the meal quietly and drifted to sleepter on. I nce at the wall clock. Its a few minutes to midnight. I climb out of bed and open the closet quietly, very quietly. I fish out a pair of jeans and I quickly tug them on. I leave my phone on the dresser before I creep out of our hotel room, careful not to awaken Fanuel. Ill just get some fresh air and be back before he wakes up. The corridor is deserted but again, its almost midnight. I walk to the elevator and quickly punch the button to the ground floor. I lean on the cold wall of the lift and stare at my pale reflection. I look like a ghost in an oversized T-shirt and blue jeans. Downstairs, the reception is deserted and a new girl is behind the desk. I guess miss flirts shift is over and I almost wish that she never shows up the next day. I really dont want her all over my husband. At Least for now. I almost roll my eyes; who am I kidding? Fanuel doesnt even like me yet Im here ying a jealous wife. Get a grip Christine. Theres musicing from the bar and I hastily head there. I need a distraction from the nightmares and insomnia and my new husband. I walk through the revolving doors and step inside. Its not crowded. Its a Wednesday night and most people are here on vacation so they are probably huddled on their beds making out and cuddling. I sit right in front of the counter and the young waiter smiles at me. What would you like maam? Scotch, double shots. I reply quickly before I change my mind. I should stay away from alcohol but one drink wont hurt. Again, Scotch is known for making me sleep like a log. Thats exactly what I need right now. He ces the ss before me and quickly gulps it down without much thought. Ill deal with the consequences tomorrow. I push the ss towards him and he pours some more alcohol, which I down in a single gulp. It makes my eyes water since Im not exactly a heavy weight and it burns my insides, absolutely scorching my throat. I wipe my hand across my mouth just as someone sits right next to me. Trouble in Paradise? Voice. I turn abruptly to look at him and sure enough, he is gazing at me. Familiar. Im sure I have seen him before. Confidence exudes from him and he has that bossy aura which he carries around. Are you talking to me? I ask while trying to perfect my poker face. I slur slightly and I realize that Im actually getting drunk. Yes I am. What are you taking? He sniffs at my ss with his eyes on me. Scotch. Ill order a bottle for you. Bossy tone. Im fine. I was about to go back upstairs. He lifts an eyebrow. Wheres your husband? Do you know me? Not exactly but I assume you are here on honeymoon. Why are you drinking alone barely 3 days after you got married? I stand up and push my chair back. I should go upstairs. Did I say something wrong? No, its fine. Im just sleepy. I move but I stagger and fall back, right into my chair. Heughs and grabs me to steady me. How about you let me buy you one more shot then Ill help you to the elevator? I dont have many choices so I nod. Deal. The waiter passes me another shot and I gulp it down. Im outright stupid and I desperately hope that the alcohol wont affect my sanity. Do you need more? The sexy baritone voice is right in my ear and I shake my head. I really need to lie down. I dont want to get sick of you. He smirks. I wouldnt mind you getting sick of me. You are easily the most beautiful woman Ive ever met so that would be a favor to me. I swoon. Not even once has Fanuel told me that Im beautiful. He thinks that Im not even his type. Why cant he be like this sexy stranger? He pushes his ss towards me. Drink that. Its one of the strongest drinks they have and itll drown your sorrows. What sorrows? He leans closer to me until his face is a mere inch away. You look stressed, confused and sad. You look nothing like a bride who is supposed to be madly in love with her husband. Im trying to help you ovee whatever it is. Just drink it Christine. Christine? How do you know my name? I asked at the reception. Why?N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content. Because I really wanted to talk to you. About? He nces at the door before he takes a deep breath, anger shing through his handsome face. He ducks his head before he whispers hurriedly. Well talk tomorrow. Your husband is looking for you. He keeps his face low as he dashes across the room then walks out through the back door. I turn to look at the entrance and Fanuel is walking towards me. Im a dead meat. Chapter 51: A pain in the ass I turn to look at the entrance and Fanuel is walking towards me. His face is calm andposed but the twitch in his jaw tells me that he is angry. Not just angry, furious. As ast minute thought, I grab the shot ss that the stranger left on the table and down the scathing liquid in a single gulp. I cough and sputter and my head reels. Fanuel tugs my hand and pulls me from the chair then curses when I stagger. He wraps an arm around my waist and all I can think about is the fact that he is killing my fun. He produces some cash from his trouser pocket and ms it on the counter then he pulls my stumbling self past the seats to the door. I can barely keep up since Im staggering and my legs are jelly like. He pulls me along anyway and when we get to the elevator, he pushes me inside then punches the button to the thirteenth floor. He is mad at me. I lean on the wall and close my eyes, feeling slightly nauseous from the ascent. I hate heights and being in lifts is one of the things I would dly avoid in life. Fanuels angry eyes remain on me the entire time and I deliberately avoid them. Im feeling somehow guilty but Im not apologizing. We dont have that kind of a rtionship. In the hallway, my feet give in and I can barely walk anymore. Fanuel gives an exaggerated sigh then bends down, putting an arm around my knees before he slings me over his shoulder. By the time he gets to our hotel room and drops me on the bed, Im feeling woozy. Im asleep as soon as my body touches the sheets. A ringing phone wakes me up from my near dead slumber. Thats not my ringtone. I groan and sit up in bed before I remember that Im sharing the room with Fanuel. I still cant wrap my head around the fact that Im married. Less than a week ago, I was staying in my cozy apartment and right now, Im married to some guy I had never imagined in my wildest dreams because of my great dad. Given the chance, I would happily go back and undo that encounter. Getting married at twenty two is not my idea of fun. My head is pounding like crazy and my belly is on fire. I knew that this was going to happen before I guzzled down shot after shot of liquorst night but I couldnt help it. In my defense, the alcohol made me sleep like a log; mission aplished. My eyes scan the spacious room and Fanuel is seated on the couch, his eyes fixed on hisptop and his phone stuck to his ear. I dont mean to eavesdrop but his voice is high enough and he is swearing like a sailor, his jaw tensing angrily. I know him well enough to realize when he is thoroughly pissed off. You dont know what you are talking about. He snaps angrily and I shiver involuntarily. If those words were directed to me, I would be scared silly. No, you dont get to order me around Mirabel. Shut up before I do something you might not like. Mirabel? I tense instantly. Whatever. Im on my way. He hangs up and tosses the phone beside him then ms theptop shut. He turns to look at me then and Im seated on the bed, perfectly frozen. He runs his fingers through his hair then stands up, walking past me to the closet. He is still shirtless and I gulp when the muscles on his back ripple as he selects a shirt and dress pants from the closet and tosses them on the bed. Are we leaving? I ask quietly when he puts the shirt on in a huff then proceeds to button up. He ignores me and grabs the trousers then walks into the bathroom, mming the door behind him. What the hell? I wring my hands unsure of what to do next and my head is reeling. I have no idea what is going on but I know that this is the first time Ive seen Fanuel so angry. He appears from the bed and dumps the sweatpants on the floor. His shirt is carelessly tucked in and he is not as meticulous as he always is. He dumps hisptop in a bag then produces his wallet, pulling a wad of notes from it then he ms the cash on the small coffee table. Fanuel? I call quietly. Im scared. He turns to look at me then, his face nk and his expression controlled as usual. What. He snaps angrily. Okay then. Whats wrong? None of your business. What? I think its part of my business when it involves Mirabel. He lifts an eyebrow. Is that so? What is this weird obsession that you have over her? I climb slowly out of bed then prop myself on the dresser. Fanuels eyes follow my every move. Im not obsessed with her. We both know that your Dad wants her to be your wife. He looks at me for a moment. Are you done? Because if you are, I would like to leave. Where are you going? To the city. To meet Mirabel? Again, none of your business.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Am I staying here alone then? He runs his hand through his hair again and I can tell he is very nervous. What do you want Christine? Thest time I checked, you werent so thrilled with the idea of sharing this room with me. You were hellbent on fleeing and always see me as some nagging piece of shit! What has changed? You. You have changed Fanuel. You are so cold and callous right now. He takes a step towards me and his gaze darkens. Im always cold and callous. I just never got the chance to introduce you to this side of me. Now, if you are done, Im leaving. I have an emergency to attend to. Can Ie with you? You are not my shadow Christine, know your ce and stop overstepping boundaries. You dont have to follow me everywhere I go. I gasp. You are being outright rude. Deal with it. Use the cash on the table until Ie back. I dont want your money. I didnt start the sentence with if it pleases your royal Highness. You are using the cash. Its not a request. I need a job, Fanuel. All this wont work out for me. Christ! What is wrong with you? Why are you starting an argument right now? Were not arguing. We are talking. Im tired of this. What is the big deal in using the fucking cash? Its my duty to take care of your needs so learn to live with it already. You are so annoying. Tears burn the back of my eyes. Annoying? You think Im annoying? I know you are annoying. And here I thought I got myself a trophy wife, who would be submissive and live like the daughter of a thief, to feel guilty and calm as always but here you are! You are nagging and you talk all the damn time. I wipe the single tear that escapes my right eye and sniffle loudly. You should go to Mirabel He shakes his head. You are just unbelievable. Your jealousy knows no bounds. I was thinking youd be letting me do my shit in peace but you just have to butt in my business. Everything was okay with you until you decided to ckmail me into marrying you just out of my fathers shit! You should have punished me either way or gotten married to some random person! We can have a divorce if you wish. He gives a dry humorlessugh. You are in delusional. While Im gone, you better stay in here. No alcohol. You dont get to order me around. You are now my wife with full time conditions, so yes, Ill order you around. Dont you dare drink again or you are going to see a very nasty side of me. I shiver involuntarily. More threats? I ask cockily. Interpret it whichever way you like. He picks his bag and walks to the door. Ill call you. He says, then opens the door and walks away after banging it behind him. I flop on the bed and sigh deeply. My husband is a pain in the ass. **** Chapter 52: Free from all charges DEAL WITH THE CEO CHAPTER 52. In the court. Fanuel mmed his fist on the table causing a loud vibrating sound to jiggle in the silent court. He acted as if he was thewyer in charge and stared daggers at the CEO of Oakbay miningpany.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. The old man was having his fun with hiswyer spewing gibberish from his mouth about closing thepany for fraudulent activities. Order in the court Mr Fanuel.The judge said and Fanuel red at him. He wasnt in the mood for all this bullshit, he was actually here to see things for himself and look into the stuff Mirabel said to him. Thewyer of Oak bay continued and a little order was restored. Hudson chemical technologies is not only known for terminating contracts without without a valid reason and an acknowledged agreement between both partners, they are also known for looting, fraud and and fake personalities all in the name of experts in the field. Objection my Lord! Fanuelswyer stood up to disagree but he was cut short. Objection overruled! Mr Card please continue. The judge said. Before I proceed, I would like to ask my client what this ruthlesspany did to his own that almost led to the downfall of hispany. He said referring to the CEO of Oakbay who smiled at him and went over to the dock of the court. He nced at the Jury to see his team members and they gave him a thumbs up to give his best. The judge at the bench seems so interested in the case of the Oakbay mining industry than that of Hudsons technology. He kept declining any opposition and defense made by Fanuelswyer but took keen Interest in that of Oak Bay. Fanuel was boiling. He nced at his driver and guard, Kol and gave him a go ahead signal with anguage the both of them could only understand. Kol left the courtroom and went to carry out his mission. The Hudsdon chemical technologies dealt with ourpany tremendously with an illegal act. We trusted their service and went over to sign a multi million dor project with them to carry out a particr filtration of oil in ourpany. This project was tost for three months but for the next five months, nothing was done about it. We confronted the head of department about it but she kept giving flimsy excuses to cover up their dirty acts. The CEO of Hudson chemical technologies, Fanuel Hudson had connived with his manager to squander the million dor project to close down ourpany!! He yelled. Earlier before his wedding, he hade over to the office to threaten me about crumbling mypany to dust. I have a voice note of exactly what he said that day. Gasp filled the air and Jayden hissed in frustration. This was getting out of hand! Edward stared at the man in shock but Fanuel was impassive and devoid of any emotions or expression. Jayden didnt see thising at all, its as if this man was hell bent on destroying thepany! The man continued ranting and the evidence was yed, the part where he promised to bring thepany to ashes. It was ruined! Nothing could be done to save thepany. Thats a tant lie! He tried all his possible best to make a refund but you refused! You were the one who promised the downfall of hispany! Fanuelswyer couldnt take it again as he butted in. Damn the protocols!! This was already beyond it as he could clearly see that the judge was being partial. His boss wouldnt stoop so low to do something outrageous as that, Fanuel reacts when you tickle him in the wrong ce and direction. This should be yourst warning Mr Flynn. The judge halted at him but he red back. This should be a court of argument and defense, but its clearly seen that youre taking the culprits side. You wont teach me my job as a mere Lawyer or a district attorney, I need to follow due procedures and detect every fault in your client. Mr Card, please continue. My client here stated how disrespectful and unprofessional the team members of Hudson chemical technologies were despite him trusting their efforts and signing a huge contract with them. The voice note here represents a lot of harmful threats to my clients and his members. That was a meaningless and a harmful conversation that took ce right in your office with all the members there! Fanuelswyers yelled but he was overruled. This imposes a threat to life, a threat to personal properties and belongings and an attempted murder. Gasps filled the whole courtroom and murmurings enveloped the serenity of the ce. Fanuelswyer twitched his lips in anger and Jay stood up and left the room. He couldnt stand this at all, he had to do something. He discovered that thewyer wasnt on their side at all and he wasnt doing the required procedures of everything. It could only mean one thing. The idiot was bribed to favor them in court!! My Lord we need no further suggestions and argument as this is seen as a huge offense to my client and against the rule ofw. Mr Card bowed his head and returned to his seat. Objection my Lord, The opposing client hasnt stated the pure intentions of my boss visiting him to clear the air between them, none of this Act was done by. Objection overruled! He was cut short again! ording to the 1978 Acts ofw, section 23, page 19, it fully states that.. Thats enough Flynn, rest Fanuel cuts him off and he gasps. These people are having their way, boss! They want to close down thepany with their offensive usations! I know. You know?!! And hes all calm without saying a word, watching all the scenes as if its a Hollywood action movie? The ranting continued and the Judge hit the hammer on the gravel. There will be no further arguments, heres my judgment. He said and the god of silence took over the whole court. Judging from the arguments and derations from the opposing and proposing defendants, I hereby dere that. He stopped when a text message popped up on his phone screen. The whole world became nk to him as his lips quivered, eyes became red, his knuckles turned white and he balled his fingers into a tight fist. Everyone became confused as they stared at the judge with an amused expression. He kept staring at his phone and he swallowed hard, tears burned the back of his eyes and his throat became dry. He gathered the frail courage that was left of his strength and continued in dry whisper, stuttering. I. I.. I h.. I hereby dere Fanuel Hudson not guilty of the usations and hes free from all charges without grant or bail Chapter 53: Raped by some thief The whole court went into a frenzy as the Judge dered his judgment. The Oak Bay team members were spitting angry balls of Fire and thewyer stared at Fanuel who wasnt fazed at the wholemotion going on around him. He was cutely sitted with no worries as he focused on the call on his phone. His brows creased into a frown when he was told that a mob of presenters and press crew were waiting for him outside. He just shrugged it off and went to his normal look. The CEO of Oak bay was a zing inferno as he stared at Fanuel who just smirked at him before leaving the court with his men. No! He was on the verge of tears and hes going to lose it anytime soon. It was an abrupt table turn for him as he didnt see thising. What did that rich brat do to spoil all his ns like this. He had all rolled for him and was already there! Whats it with this rubbish! He yelled at no one in particr, the small wrinkles on his face formed deeper lines on his forehead as sweat trickled down his neck. He mmed his hands on the table and stared at the bench which the judge just left. That old stricken fool! How dare he trick him!! If he was so scared of Fanuel he should have just told him and couldnt have continued! Damn you Fanuel. He cursed under his breath and left the court. A mob of crew swarmed over Fanuel and camera shlights almost blinded his vision. He was asked exhrating questions from all corners and all he could do was nod and answer some important questions. He was thrown some questions as to why hispany was at the verge of breaking down, losing its influence and its existence. Fanuel rified that none of that was going to happen to thepany but they should expect a bigeback from him when he returns from his honeymoon, he stressed that this was an impromptu court case that needed to be attended to clear some bad virus from spreading. He got into his car and his men sped off from the arena making him sigh in relief. His phone buzzed and he picked it up without hesitation.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. How the heck did you survive that Fanuel? I was already going crazy Jaydens voice could be heard in the background and Edward butted in. It was a group call. What the f?k dude, you wouldnt even wait for me! Start talking Fan.. Jay said impatiently. Jeez! Calm down okay, Im having a slight headache with your clingyness and its bugging me. Clinginess?!! They both chorused. Of course! I know Im now the hot cake but I need some space. I will definitely punch you dude, wait till Ie over. Are you visiting him on his honeymoon? Jay asked him Uhmmm. sort of? I should tag along then. I dont need anyone around! So Ill be taking the next avable flight by noon, so sharpen your mouth to spit how you survived that Warzone in the court I dont need anyone!!!! Fanuels voice was loud and firm. He actually meant that and he was so annoyed when he spotted Christine talking with Edward. Ill be expecting you then He recalled her words and he scoffed. Expecting indeed. Silence reigned and Jay cleared his throat. Why shouldnt we visit? Because Im on honeymoon. Silence again Tch! Cut the crap dude.. see me there by 13:45 hours. Edward for goodness sake, I dont need you around! Wait till Im done with my honey moon. We can talk on the phone when I reach the suite and we can talk in person when I reach home. He said and cut the call, making Edward and Jay surprised. He will beat that girl to crap. Edward told Jay and he could only agree with him. Fanuel doesnt want them toe around cause he feels that they wont allow him to treat Christine as he wishes. Poor Christine, he hopes she survives it before the end of the year runs out. Fanuel focused on the road as he cut the call, they should let him be and focus on themselves. He just cant stand the sight of Christine smiling and chatting with them wholeheartedly when she sneered at him like some trash. That guy!! He just needs to rify what Mirabel showed himst night and get back to the ind. The white house! Its been Long he set his foot here, everything was still in order of extravagant ss and wealth. He traced his steps to Miarbels vi and saw her sipping wine, her eyes sheened with awe as she jumped on him. I cant believe you honored my Invitation Start speaking! You have just 30 seconds.. Dont be in a rush, I understand we are no longer in romantic terms but please just be nice. Mirabel?? Fine, I will tell you thats only if you will sit, drink and rx. In your next life, if you ever waste my precious life again like this I will decorate your white face with red bruises! He thundered and Mirabel flinched in fear. This man is beyond control and has really changed. She thought that she had a chance when he agreed to meet her, she was willing to give him anything and go to the extent of giving her her body to please him. But looking at Fanuel, he had no time for rubbish and nonsense. What happened to the Fanuel who would nod at her demands to attend to her at her beck and call, what happened to the Fanuel that would stare at her lustfully and crash his body at her making her feel like a whole being! He was just gone! And she felt even angrier, she needed him back. He looks dangerously cute and smarter each day and she just wants him for herself. He won the court case today and she was thrilled. Shes aware of the Oakbay industry at his neck and they were almost getting away with it. He was always lucky with everything and his aura turned her on even the more. Now that Christine is in the picture!! Damn it. She knows he doesnt give a damn about her but she still bears his name. She sleeps and sees him everyday! Its about your wife Christine! Fanuel whips his attention at once towards Mirabel and refrains himself from moving further. What about her? Why not calm down and sit. Fanuel raised his hands to warn her from wasting his time and Mirabel flinched. Your wife was raped by some thief! Fanuels eyes dted into confusion as he stared at her. He propped his hands down as he came closer to her. Mirabel took his state of confusion as his Achilles heel and wrapped her arms on his shoulders and crashed her lips on his. She forced herself on him but Fanuel red and peeled her of his skin like a lifeless log. She crashed down on the floor and hit her head on the armrest of the couch. What the actual fuck Mirabel! Believe it or not, The wife youre about to make baby with was raped by some thief!! A resounding p followed and Mirabel yelled in shock. Repeat that irritating word one more time and I will feed you with blows! Dont you ever, ever say such a disgusting word about my wife.. ever again!! He mmed the door with a loud bang and left Mirabel in myriad shock and confusion. Chapter 54: It鈥檚 not true Christine Pov Christine, wait! A familiar baritone calls from somewhere behind me and I turn around. Its the same guy fromst night. He looks even more handsome in white shorts and a singlet and his muscture is very defined. Im walking on the private beach after staying in the hotel room the whole day. I dont want to think about Fanuel or the fact that he is meeting the one woman I detest so much, so I just decided to go for a walk and maybe a quick swim. The guy fromst night is looking at me with an amused expression. You like what you see? He asks with a grin and I blush from head to toe. He just caught me checking him out. Its totally worth it though. He is a foot shorter than Fanuel and his jawline isnt as defined but he is good looking in every aspect. Is your husbanding down? He asks when I remain quiet. No, Im alone. He smiles widely. Something is somehow off about him. Where is he? Why are you asking? Im just curious, you know. You guys just got married. I really dont understand why hes letting you out of his sight. As I saidst night, you are the most beautiful girl Ive ever seen. My husband is a busy man. I say quickly, stepping into Fanuels defense. I dont want to discuss him with a stranger. Too busy for you? He asks with a cocked bro. I really dont want to discuss my marriage with you. Its kind of private. I say with a nervous smile and he shrugs. Fine. So lets walk then? Sure. I turn to go and he falls into step beside me. Im Alex by the way. He says while giving me a sideways nce. Christine. I already know your name. I grin at that. Of course you do. Stalking much? He shrugs. I would do anything to know more about you. Something clicks into my head and I whip around to stare at him. He turns to face me with raised brows. Whats wrong Christine? I take a step backwards. You I remember you. You are the guy who was holding me from behind at my wedding the other day. Fanuel was so mad about the whole thing What the hell are you doing here?N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Im rmed and adrenaline is pumping through me. This is the guy that Fanuel insisted I should stay away from. How dumb was I not to remember him instantly? He surprises me when he bursts outughing. If I were you, I would not listen to anything Fanuel says. I cross my hands. You should leave me alone. Im going back to the hotel room to get Fanuel. He takes a step towards me. I know he flew back to the city this morning. My skin prickles with fear. This cant be good. How do you know that? It doesnt matter. Ill show you something. He takes his phone out of his shorts pockets and flicks it open. His fingers move deftly over the screen typing away before handing me the phone. I stare at the headline and the photo beneath it for a whole minute, my head spinning like crazy. This is bullshit. We all know that bloggers are full of shit. I squeak eventually. Its not bullshit Christine. We can call the girl to confirm. I know her. I gasp. How do you know her? Shes my Friend. I take quick breaths. I dont want to hyperventte. Call her. Its not true. He grins. So quick to prove his innocence, huh? Fanuel doesnt deserve you. Just make the damn call Alex!. Fine. He dials a number and I hold my breath as we wait for it to be answered, the headline rolling over in my head: *Fanuel Hudson was caught cheating on his wife two days after their grand wedding.* And underneath it, a photo of Fanuel, his lips locked in a kiss with a blond haired girl whose face is hidden. I know the photo is recent because he is in the same clothes he wore in the morning before he left. Chapter 55: We just got started Mirabels Pov Damn it!! He practically pushed me like a moron! How is that my fault? I only yed my part and youre here ming me for the shit that took ce What has changed! I thought her past might trigger him into detesting her.. could it be that hes already in love with her? Diana scoffed mockingly Youre just hallucinating, that guy doesnt give a fuck about her existence Then why the heck was he pissed off at the fact that i told him that christine was raped!! Were you giving me false information? I red at her and she could only bite her lips. i think im done here, you think every shit revolves around you and i will jut waste my time to sit and craft out a lie against my childhood friend? Im just curious Fine, deal with your curiousityIm out! Common diana, dont be like thatwe just got started Then what is it with the doubts and numerous questions? I thought you said you had a n b if any of out the ns doesnt run smoothly? I know Im just kind of worked up and worried that none of my ns seem to favor me.. damn! I cant believe how much Ive missed him till now They are still on their honey crap whatever, just exercise a little patience till when they are back so i can plot some ways to be close to her. Ive got an interesting n that would make fanuel look at her like some piece of trash She smiled mischievously to herself and I couldnt help but grin. Choosing her to work with me wasnt bad at all.. at least she can be an ally after all this. I picked my phone from the ss wine stand and drafted a message to Alex, I quickly typed unsessfully as I gulped the remaining Shirley temple wine, my favorite. Fanuel has an obsession with the drink and it made her fall in love with it. But why was she raped and how do you know that? I curiously asked Diana who ignored me and made her way to the door. Call me when you need me But I need you now, and you just ignored my question! She mmed the door behind her without turning back. That arrogant brat! ******* Diana pov It was a disaster! Fanuel literally choked her to death back there and it was really gruesome, why is it so hard to convince him to leave Christine! We havent even started and hes already sending fire extinguishers to extinguish any fire signals rted to christine. Fuck! he looked so sexy even when angry! How long will it take for them to get done with the protocols bullshit? Everyone in the hudson home is fully aware that the honeymoon is just for the public and nothing serious. She missed him, being in the mansion and getting close to him now will be a bit difficult, how can one be so perfect in all his doing without any fault? Why was Christine even alive in the first ce? Maybe she wouldnt have gotten so close to him if her dad wasnt a thief or owing thepany a dime. She would have continued to wallow in her fantasy and imagination rather than getting this close to him and giving up like nothing ever happened. Its like seeing sugar and honey but going back to vinegar. She wants him so bad! So bad that she imagines every of her moments with him at all times. And the money! Shit! The money that will being with this contract is enough to change ones generation forever. How could she miss that? No fucking way! She would fight! She would use Mirabel as an opportunity and get closer to Fanuel at all cost, Mirabel already has it all in life but she needs fanuel. Miss him my foot! The way she ims him irks me to the very core and juust wish to shut her up for a moment. I wonder how Laurel is faring? That inquisitive brat! I wished the chandelier had hit her hard so she wont have to interfere in any of my personal matters again. I reached the hudson mansion and walked quietly to the room, yeah! Im still working here but wish to disappear asap! Everywhere is all cringy and lonely without fanuel or christine. I sighed in frustration as i proppeed myself on the bed when a loud knock distracted me.Content ? N?velDrama.Org. I jumped off at once, being very alert as I tiptoed to the door. The moment I twisted the door knob, it almost mmed into my face. A not so happy jayden was staring daggers at me. Where are youing back from? Chapter 56: Her lucky stars A DEAL WITH THE CEO Fanuels pov. Earlier on the Ind. I stared at the text message Mirabel had sent and my brows creased into confusion. How the heck does she expect me to believe her? I stared at the message again and read it. Youre in danger. Your wife was raped Alex is on the ind with your wife. I scoffed in amusement and shrugged it off. Im aware of Mirabels desperation to get my attention and Im not surprised if this is one of her moves. She should better try harder. I stood up and stood at the transparent ss door staring at the beautiful view outside and the beautiful shlights that sent tiny sparks of reflection in every corner., Choosing here wasnt wasnt bad at all. Dubai was always known for its exterior design and craft and this ind is the best ce ever. I stare at Christine as she sleeps peacefully like a baby, no matter how I fail to admit. Shes fucking beautiful! God! She looks more beautiful when arguing and very annoying when being silent or jealous. Her mouth was mumbling some incoherent words, I inched closer to try and listen but I could hear a thing. Tch! Its funny how everything got twisted in a twinkle of an eye for me to get married, if her dad wasnt greedy, I would be at home right now working with myptop and signing deals at work. I would have been frolicking around with Edward around town and fucking some random bitches whon shamelessly throw themselves at me. I would have been posing for some international magazines for different fashion houses andpanies with top personalities who would die just to have me on their bed. But here I am stuck with this facade of a marriage crap to please the masses and to sign contracts, I couldnt imagine losing thepany out of bankruptcy. I would have fucking killed her and her parents without batting an eyelid! She should thank her lucky stars that things were gradually falling into ce. I was so lost staring at her that I balled my fist so hard. What is the meaning of this? Why am I staring at her? I never do that, its always the opposite but I try to watch her every move and I fucking enjoy staring at her. She looks so beautiful and the sight of her wearing my shirt makes me think something so silly. Get a grip Fanuel!! Shes just a mere daughter of a thief! All this is just a facy that would sound like it would end in a year and your normal life would be back. The thought of that irks me to the core that I cringe. Damn! I think Im sicklet me rest a little bit. I crouch on the sofa by the side of the room and close my eyes, begging for sleep to take over my confused thoughts. ***** It was past midnight when I stood up to grab my PC but she was no where to be found! Panic washed through me and I became alert at once. I searched around the room and she was nowhere to be found. Shit! I scrambled around and fled out of the room, punching the elevator button impatiently and rushing like a maniac to Gods nowhere. She should better be safe or something drastic will happen. I was boiliing with rage as I spotted her with my worst nightmare.. what the actual fuck? Alex!! He smirked at me and whispered something in her which made her avert her gaze at once without being swayed by my presence. She took thest gulp and staggered while I rushed to aid her and drop some notes for the bartender. **** Mirabel was right for once in her life, I would see her once I reached the city and rify things. I ignored Christine and left herIm not yet done with her until Im back. I reached the court and witnessed the nonsense going on and I could clearly tell where all this was going to end with the greedy judge. I drafted a message to Kol and he got out without waiting any second. My guy will kidnap his family and torture them until he admits collecting a bribe from Oakbay to stand in their favor. I was cool the whole time and listened to the rubbish in court. No one dares Fanuel hudson and leaves scott free.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Ive contacted some personalities in the press to revoke hisw license for life. The shock on their face was priceless but that wasnt important at the moment. ChristineHow the heck did Mirabel knew she was raped? Who the heck did that to her? Nope!! I should believe such crap from Mirabel. She might be right Alex but he wont be swayed by such rumor, that might be an ounce of her trying to get me back. Chapter 57: Haywire A DEAL WITH THE CEO Christine. I was in a haywire! I kept biting my lips and chewing on my nails at different Intervals as the image of Fanuel and blonde haired girl was stered on my face and mind. That was the reason why he was in a hurry, that was why he was acting so rude like a jerk! Why do I feel so bad about it? I feel like I shouldnt feel anything, I shouldnt be swayed by whatever Fanuel does with his life since everything is temperamental. I should act normal and know that Webb brought me here and ept whatever trash Fanuel does but it hurts. It fucking hurts me to the core and I hate it. Tears burns my eyes and my throat itched to a drink. Especially a scotch. I should drink my sorrows away and forget anything that Im facing. I wring my nose as I remember Alexwhy the heck was that guy here in the first ce? I had left immediately I confirmed that Fanuel was with another bitch, I couldnt risk knowing as seeing more scary things. Gosh!; Why am I being delusional right now? I guess Fanuel was right, Im truly overstepping boundaries and looking for a fantasy that would never be fufilled. Fanuel would never ever look at her talkless of wanting her. That dude sees her as nothing sort of amodity to save hispany. The tears fall freely now as my heart clenched in pain as I cursed my step father. Not only did he take my dignity, he trampled upon my pride and value as ady. Im done!! I should Focus on doing something valuable and stop being sentimental about everything. I should ept the fact that this wicked, arrogant and hot jerk would never be mineever. I should be free to flirt with others right? I should also go out and kiss random hot guys out there, that could Quel this nonsense anger I feels anytime she sees him with another. My phone vibrated and picked it without hesitating. Christine?.. Laurel whispers voice came through and I sighed in surprise. Oh Laurelare you okay? How are you feeling. where are you? I kept rambling without even letting her answer one. Im fine girlie.. just missing you. Stat put okay? Ill be back soon before you know it. I know, is your husband around? Drop it Laurel, it irks me when you my husband I could puke you know? Laurel chuckled at the other end. Youre stuck baby girl, hes your husband. So tell me.. Tell you what? Your first night dummyI want to know how cling onto him moaning your brains out. I face palm myself and shook my head, Laurels truly unbelievable. Okay, Ill tell you the details. Yay, cant wait. So I met this hot dangerous guy in this vi, got drunk to stupor to stumble with an angry Fanuel. Slept and woke up with a bad migrainehappy now? I grinned when I heard her gasped. No fucking way?! Yeah, I bet that should be romantic enough right. Why would you drink on your first night? It would clearly piss him off, by the way, is he in? Nope, I guess he missed New Jersey so much that he couldnt wait to go back and see his ex.. ShitMirabel?N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. She asked and bit my lips painfully and nodded as if she was actually there with me. That blond haired girl happened to be Mirabel, the side view was convincing enough. Im sorry Christine. You dont need to, I saw theseing but you guys where hell bent on making me flustered about Fanuel I thought. I.. Jeez!! I dont even want to imagine Jayden with another bitch , I will scream my lungs out talkless of my husband whether its a fake or not! I chuckled. Im d youre okay Laurel. Me too, about that chandelier stuff. I think its Fanuel burst in that moment and saw the phone stered to my ear. I.. Ill call you back.. Laurel. I cut the call and ignore his presence totally, making sure I avoided contact with him. I could feel his eyes burning my entire self and I stooo up to go to anywhere in particr as long as Im out of his sight. Why the fuck where you with Alex yesterday? . I believe I just asked you a question and why the hell did you drink? Im entitled to whatever drink of my choice, are you also going to threaten the drinks or ckmail me into not drinking any again? Fanuel sighed and close his while I stared at him Intently. Alex? I didnt know he was the one, I wish I knew earlierI would have kissed those juicy lips of his. His eyes red in anger as he whipped his head up at me at once. Youre riling me up Christine. its really dumb. You dont want me near him cause hes cuter and sexier or youre just finding every excuse to shackle me in your confused and possessive world. I yell at him and and he walked closer. Think whatever you want to think, but let that be thatst time I will see you drinking or ever going close to Alex!! He yelled and I bit my lips and ignored him. It was pointless arguing with him but it will be useless adhering to his stupid rules. Im already bearing the cross by marrying him but I wont sit like a fool and watch him have all the whole fun and control me like a robot. He was about opening his mouth to say something else when the loud know distracted us both. Fanuel looked at me and there my face away, I didnt remember ordering for a room service or calling anyone. My heart elerated at the thought of Alex poking his head in this room. It would be bloody. Fanuel hesitated before moving over to open the door and his countenance changed dangerously. Edward? hmm..? I sighed in relief as I watched Edward walking majestically with that killer smile on his face of his, ignoring Fanuel. Hi Christine, are you okay? He asked with concern as worryced his face making sure to hid it from Fanuel who was now facing him. Im o. I sternly warned you not toe!! Whats this Edward? Fanuels voice was dangerously calm as he cut me off but I could feel the anger from his voice. Edward grinned and turned to look at him. I just wanted to make sure you didntmit murder. Chapter 58: Contract gift Alex. I cut the call and stare nkly outside over the transparent ss brimming with disappointment. I know this wont be easy as Fanuel was hard but to crack, he should take it slow and give it a little time first. When Mirabel had told him that she has something strong to mek Fanuel leave his wife or have a rethink about letting her stay, I badly wanted to know what that could be, but Mirabel was stubborn. It was as if she swore not to say a thing until after she told Fanuel, making me more curious at how confident she was only to discover how stupid she was at her assumptions. I couldnt believe that she thinks that Fanuel gives a fuck about Christine or whatever trash she went through. Whether she was raped or not, she was just amodity to save hispany. Hes just being possessive because he knows that using Christine would be a gateway for saving his business.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. Hes just so lucky that the bitch is damn beautiful. He thought he could also convince Christine about Fanuel so he could use that as a bait and get what he wants by using her but she was being strong headed. One of his men came over and bowed. Is he the one? I asked to be sure. Yes boss, but it seems he came alone. I said and dismissed him smirking. Damn you Fanuel!! I cant believe he invited his friend over on his honeymoon!! Are they nning to have a threesome with that poor girl? I bet he would do that without batting an eyelid. Its game over for Mirabel, I should step up my game and watch him crumble. I retrieved my phone from my pants and dialed a number which went through at the first ring. Hi Celine, its Alex Hi Alex She squeaked and I rolled my eyes. Did you get it? I did but you know I cant give it out. You have to Celine, I will triple your pay.. I know youre scared about the consequences but Im assuring you that youre going to leave that ce to a higher position as soon as what Im nning to do with that is done. Alex she whined. This is the first contract gift my boss gave to me from AntaIm not willing to ri Celine!! Fuck! Where are you right now? Her voice wavered for a moment. In the office. Iming over. What? No way!! You cante, Jayden or Fanuel might show up anytime and youre not even in New Jersey. Then meet me in New Rocks hotel, Ill be there in soon.e with the documents Ill exin everything to you I hang up the call and huff out, exhaling in the process. This was the first time Celine would act stubborn about doing things for me. I was able to sneak in to seduce her even before I left New Jersey for Chicago. She was blinded by my looks and I took advantage of it and got every damn information I needed about Hudson chemical technologies. Fanuels Dad disliked me and I hated his guts so I had to devoid means of doing anything to cause his downfall but it was useless. That man was extremely intelligent and strict, too bad hes kissing his sick bed right now. Im going to use that document linked with another contract to make sure Fanuel doesnt get a dime from anypany. It was just a matter of time. ****** Christine poured the wine in the tumbler for Edward as he was in a deep conversation with Fanuel. She came to realize that he was in a tight situation that morning and he was pissed because hispany was at stake. From what shen heard from Edward she wondered how he was able to scale through hearing how the judge wasnt in their favor. I kidnapped his family and tortured them. My fingers shook and I spilled the wine on the white Persian rug messing it up while she stared at him in shock. Youre not only clingy but also clumsy. Fanuel said not breaking eye contact with his friend, making Edward turn to Christine and see the mess she made. He sighed and shook his head. Its okay Christine, thanks for the wine. Im sure it was a mistake. He smirked at her and she smiled back. Fanuel watched them both and scoffed. She smiles sweetly at others and stares at him like an incarnate of hell. Alex came to the house while you were here. Edward said and Fanuel lifted his brows and stared at him without saying a word while Edward continued. I wonder why he was there as Alex is hereon the ind. Fanuel told him and his eyes widened in surprise. What the actual heck, tell me youre kidding. Fanuel ignores and takes his wine to drink, as the realization of why Alex was here dawned on him. That dude just wanted to cause havoc to piss him off but he wont allow that especially with Christine. I think he followed you here to do something mischievous, so do you know the room he stays in? I think youre high for asking me that, how is his room my fucking business? Chill dude, I just want to beat him to pulp secretly, especially for locking you up in that basement for you to die! Christine gave a sharp gasp as the gist turned at once to look at her but she quickly tossed it off by acting weird and looking at her cell phone. Jayden also told me that Laurel says she saw the person who stood at thest floor before the chandelier broke. Edward continued and that piqued Christines interest. She badly wanted to ask who but she knew that Fanuel would stop their conversation if she was eavesdropping. And who the fuck was that? Jayden didnt say, I dont know if Laurelter told him but Im sure that person up there should know about that chandelier. I will being back home tomorrow. Fanuel blurted out and Christine scoffed loudly. Why? Its just three days since you arrived here. It doesnt matter, I need to get back to work as soon as possible and work on those new contracts, I havent even signed them yet. Its okayI get itall these is a sham after all Good, now get out! Edward scoffed and pped his shoulder. Your temper is something else ever since you got married, at least dont let it out on Christine.. shes still fragile. He said and turned to bade her but she already fell asleep. He picked up his phone on the coffee table and left while Fanuel sighed and closed his eyes. He couldnt bear him smiling all the time Christine. Chapter 59: Someone else鈥檚 signature Jayden. Fanuel called and told me hes back which made me blink in shock. Does he detest her so much that he couldnt even let his honeymoonst a week? I hope Christine is fine, knowing Fanuel and his egohe wouldnt let him visit. I went to Laurels room but she wasnt there, worryced my face as I knew she was out to work. Shes as stubborn as a goat and wouldnt heed to whatever I say. A little punishment will put her in ce. After searching around without no avail, I told one of the maids to make sure Laureles to my roomter for cleaning. I sighed and plopped myself on therge kings sized bed thinking about Easton. I hope he is fine, judging from his countenance on the wedding day he looked rather pissed and sad. I couldnt me him, Fanuel was making it obvious that Christine was going to live a life of jeopardy. The door squeaked open and I turned on my side to stare. It was Laurel. I almost rolled my eyes when she bowed and let tendrils of her beautiful hair to cover her face. She wasnt wearing her apron so her curves disyed beautifully in the white gown she wore. I groaned inwardly on how patient I have to be for this girl to be free with meshe was like a fucking angel in the wedding and when that stupid stuff fell on herI almost went inferno. Youre not supposed to work yet until you fully recover, why are you being stubborn? Im fine and strong JayI was just bored and tired of doing nothing. For a moment I realized she didnt pronounce my name fully and I felt iplete. Damn! My name always rolled out sexily from her lips. Can you just call my full nameits better when I hear it from you. I tell her sincerely and her eyes sheen with amusement. Sure Jayden I smiled and stood up, walking closer to her and I way she gulped dryly. You will be punished for being stubborn. I cock my head and watch her expression but she remains impassive. Before my punishment, I badly want to thank you forfor taking care of meI really do. So what do I get when I return? I inched closer and whispered in her ears making her shiver. Jayden Fuck! I mmed my hands at her whispery voice. Tell me. We were so close that all I could ever think was to m my lips on hers but it seems shes got other motives as she wrapped her hands on my shoulder. I will tell you. She said with the most sexy voice ever and I groaned. I cant wait. Laurel threw me off guard by mming her lips on mine, kissing me with so much intensity and need. I couldnt reciprocate, I was shocked and turned on as fuck. She dived her tongue deeper with a haggard breath as if begging me to do the same to her. Damn!! I kissed her hard. I poured out all my emotions to the kiss and kissed her as if it was thest day I was going to see her. Ive liked this girl for so long that I dont trust myself if I continue. I carried her up as she wrapped her smooth legs around my waist and made contact with my hardness. I pressed weight into her not breaking off the kiss. I dont want this to end in any way as I went into a frenzy when she moaned. I broke off the kiss and we both gasped for breath harshly. I wanted more but Laurel was already on her feet and its as if the foundation of life left me. I swallowed and stared at her but she bit her lips.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org. Thats what I wanted to tell you, Im sorry. She blurted out and faced down. I smiled, was she shy? I need more, its too small for what I did. I told her and didnt give her the chance to say anything before mming my lips on her again. ***** Diana Fanuel was back! My joy knew no bounds when I overheard it from Jayden on call. Does he detest Christine that much for his honeymoon to be that short? All the same Im ted that they didnt take long, I just hope Mirabel knows what shes doing. She had called me for a new n and I wondered what she was up to, she told me it was legit and a friend of hers was going to make sure Christine was kicked out of the picture. His name was Alex. I bet Ive heard that name before but I couldnt remember where. Im meeting themter in the evening for the details. I retrieve my phone to call Christine since shes already back from the break. Hi bestie.. Hi there, where are you? Right here, hear you are back. You were having some fun because you forgot your own friend. Common Jane, I was in my own hell here. But youre stuck in there, alone! Dont remind me please, Fanuel is an ass.. he wont let me go out. Tell him to let your friends stick by you so you wont die of solitude I could hear her sigh in frustration. I dont know Dee, Ill try. I miss Laurel too. I know, let me know whatever happens okay, bye. I hung up the call and sighed. Christine was too easy. I would still have ess to her and Fanuel through her. I changed into baggy trousers and red turtles for the next polo. I packed my long hair into a pony and applied light makeup with lip gloss. I always need to look good when going to the presidential vi. I sling my hand bag and disappeared before anyone noticed. **** I could get burned by that guys stare, he shouldnt do that before I waver and miss my steps. Is Alex this hot, damn!! Hes too cute to be doing this as I stare helplessly at his sharp jaw and ripped muscles. His angelic face was downright sexy and I could see a smirk forming on his face Thats the contract file, I dont know how you guys will do it but make sure Christine signs that Hudsons chemical would never continue with someone elses signature. Chapter 60: Your responsibility Christine. He was seated on the sofa with his face glued to theptop but I can feel his eyes boring over me. I skimmed through the inte to keep myself busy with any entertainment gist while I hope he goes out. His presence in the house made everything worse for me. Youve been awfully quiet he blurted out and I nced at him without saying anything. My sole focus was on my device right now, he can go as well to spew trash for all I care. He sighed and dropped hisptop, cracking his knuckles and looking at me with that angelic face of his. Are you okay? Am I supposed to be okay? Thisthis quietness is so unlike you. Thanks. I replied to him sarcastically and giggled over something I saw online. I dont appreciate you being distracted when Im talking to you. You never appreciate anything, Im already used to it. Can you please let me breathe? I red at him angrily and walked towards the room. The least thing I want right now is him controlling or ordering me around. Hes gotten what he wants and sleeps around with whoever he wants to with his choice. I should be left alone to count my days of solitude while he has all the fun. I fixed my ear buds and swayed my ears to the k. pop music while I closed my eyes. The white Italian door was pushed open and Fanuel appeared with a tray of mouthwatering hot meals. Ok.. that got me drenched in surprise. _what the hell is he doing right now? Eat.. you havent had.. Im not hungry. I say sharply averting my haze from the tempting pasta screaming before me. Fanuel sighed in frustration and for once worryced his Greek face.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. He huffed out and ruffled his hair before sitting on the chair close to the wardrobe. His diamond ne shone and sparkled perfectly in the reflection of the golden lights. I went to the court today. He said out of nowhere and i creased my brows. I never asked. Oak bay filed a case against mypany and if I didnt do anything, it would have been closed down. . I was with Mirabel also. I avert my gaze and stared at him. Why? She called to tell me something important. And what could that be? You had to fly out and kiss her like a ravenous starving wolf. I blurted out angrily. I shouldnt be doing this but Im just angry, Im being disrespected. He gasped at my outburst. What? Are you going to deny that? His Adam apple pops up and down and I wonder why hes acting this way. He shouldnt give a damn if he fucks a whore in my sight but hes acting. all guilty. I didnt kiss her, it was the other round. Wow! Its okay to defend her , I bet shes too hot for her name to be tainted. Can you stop it!! She told me you were raped and she wants to use that against you! Everything paused before my eyes as shock washed over me. I froze that instant as I stared nkly at Fanuel who was confused. No fucking way!! My throat burned at the possibility of Fanuel looking at me like trash, a usedmodity to rub it all over my face. I fought back the tears threatening to fall as I cursed Webb over and over again. Thats not true. It came out as a whisper and Fanuel nodded. I know. How the heck did Mirabel know about her worst nightmares. Was she tailing her all this while to dig into her past? Are you okay? You seem lost. Im fine. I snapped. Then eat your meal, the ulcer is real. He said and stood up to reach out for the door handle when I stopped him. My voice came out croaking. Why are you telling me this? I dont knowyou became awfully mute and that scared the shit out of me. I thought I owed you an exnation I scoffed and stared at him pushing the food cart closer. Ive really lost my appetite but Im not ready to feel bad for not eating this food he brought because of Mirabels discovery. Drop the charade already, youre doing this so I wont sing to the press that Fanuel Hudsons starve his wife. He grins. Youre finally admitting it huhwifey I rolled my eyes at him fighting back a smile. I think youre being klutz with words right now, dont let me choke before I start eating. Bon appetite He says cheekily and ms the door behind him while I sighed. I try my best to push back every thought of Mirabel while I dig on the food. I dont know why but it feels good to listen to him exin himself like a good husband. Ha! Who am I kidding? That dude is suffering from a disease called bipr. I should rather brace up myself for the next tornado. ***** Fanuels pov Seeing her talk was better than being mute. It was like seeing apletely different woman and I didnt like it at all. I know its stupid but I love seeing her arguing. I love seeing her ring up with her hazel eyes staring intently at me, despite the situation I feel she put me in; Im d it happened. Shes very interesting. Once in my life I have this feeling of euphoria whenever she gets clingy or jealous. Damn!! That face of hers. I know Im acting downright stupid but I cant help it. Mypany should be my sole aim and focus but Im acting whipped over the daughter of a thief. My phone vibrated and Jayden appeared on the caller ID. Hey kid bro Stop being silly Fanuel, I cant believe you didntst a week on your honeymoon. Did Christine rile you up that much? Thats none of your business, I bet you didnt call to ask me that. Jerk!! Its about what happened at your wedding reception. Im working on that, next. Fanuel! I think its really important you know about. Jayden, can you please stay out of whatever happened? I said Im working on it. Did you call just for that? I could hear him sigh on the other end. Just know that Christine is in danger and no matter how much you hate her, shes your responsibility. He said and cut the call while I bite my lips. Of course shes my responsibility but Christine is too strong headed to admit that, always acting she can do everything on her own. Meanwhile he knew Jayden called to tell him about Jane. She was on thest floor when the chandelier went off and broke. Chapter 61: A beautiful gold ring Christine. I whined for the upteenth time as I plead with Fanuel to let me be. He is going to resume work officially and he ims its mandatory I went with him. Like what the heck? Ive yed my part by signing the damn contract and hes lucky enough to get proposals flowing so whats it with the public stunt and charade. His eyes burned on me as he was trying his possible best to act calm and cool. He was dressed in a ck bolorado Italian suit with his tie knotted firmly, his trousers clung into him perfect with his tall muscr body. His bright angelic face was contoured with smooth light powder while his pointed noseplimented those sharp jaws aligned to the lower part of his mouth. His natural sinful lips was always red while his jet ck hair wasnt wavy this time around. It fell to his face almost covering his icy blue eyes. Gosh!! My body was on fire just staring at him like that. He look like a fucking model!! Christine!! He snapped and i sighed. You have just a minute to strip off and enter that bathroom or I wille back and do it myself. He said and walked while I stare at his perfect model ass. I let the water hit my skin and i moaned in ectasy, letting various things to wander in my mind. How will the workers react? Who am I meeting and why the hell is Fanuel taking me to Hudson chemical technologies? Im not yet used to the press and now he wants to introduce me to another part of a new world. Im totally naked as I mobbed my body with the pink towel and squirt the lotion on my body. I fetched a ck gown that stopped right below my knee with a V-neck design with silver stones scattered all over the neck. I struggled with the zip and sighed, that wont work. I need help and theres no other person than than Fanuel. I loosed my hair and packed it into a bun after parting styles at the edge while I focused on giving myself a light make up. I was done and I could admit that I looked great. I feel this was too much just to go to hispany but knowing how Fanuel dresses even to bathroom was model type so I need to put on my best. Fanuel skims his eyes all over me as I approached him. He was staring over the ss nonchntly while he stands up. I couldnt describe his expression that moment but my guts tells me he likes whatever is it Im wearing. I dont like this dress. He blurted out and I rolled my eyes. Typical bipr Fanuel. Its too perfect on you. He says and I fight back a grin. I turned my back to him to help me with the zip as I couldnt tell him directly but Fanuel stood frozen without moving. My.. my zip .. please. I squeak and I felt him inches closer. He sighed almost painfully and brushed his fingers on my skin making me quiver. Gosh! Why do I have to react that way? I needed him to touch me again! I felt my back vibrate from the zip and I turned abruptly to thank him. Lets go. ***** Fanuel. I had two things to do at work. Signing the contracts and crushing Oak bay to dust. Ive already set up a meeting with otherpanies and political offices that could put some sugary words into government holders and the parliament to approve whatevernd he has. I was going to start with the kings consolidatedpany in Anta and make sure it functions perfectly well to be broadcasted all over the media. I was going to show the whole of New Jersey and across, wonderful revolving things that they wont have a choice than to invest and sign contracts with them. I tried my best to avoid contact with Christine and stare out of the window nonchntly. She looked like a fucking angel with all her curves in the right ces. I was so tempted to grab her and do nasty things but I restrained my demon. We stepped down from car and I ignored the shocking stares from all corners. Wheres Celine? I asked one of them. Shes in the board room. I dragged Christine who was lost staring at the whole interior design to my office. Are you leaving me here? She asked panicking.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Yeah, I have a meeting and . Please let me join you. Christine its a very professional setup Then I should have just stayed at home instead. I sighed in frustration and nodded, gesturing her toe over. Jayden was the first person to sink in shock when he saw Christine. Yeah! Im equally surprised I allowed her. I moved to sit at the front while she sat right beside me. Thanks for honouring this meeting, Ill go straight to the point. Weve been offered two deals. One from Anta and another from the Presidential vi. That alone is enough to to boost our capital tremendously and make sure our stock rise. But we cant continue if Oak Bay continues to taint our image without a definite reason. I say and they were duly impressed. A lot gave their suggestions about shutting down Oak bay while others volunteered to invest because they felt my wife was the eye Turner which made me rolled my eyes. While agreeing to their terms, Celine came over and whispered some incoherent words to Christine who looked shocked and stared at me. She was still staring at me and I gave her whats wrong look only for her to step out with Celine. I couldnt decipher what happened but I concluded that she just wanted to ease herself or Celine had to show her something. She came back in few secondster with a little package. Now that piqued my interest. The meeting was dismissed but Jay was staring at Christine and I the whole time. He sat right there and flicked his pen waiting for a melodrama. Whats that? I asked I dont know either, I thought you order it. Open it. This looks so beautiful though. She says ripping the ribbon apart and tearing the sellotape glued to it. A beautiful gold ring came in view and Christine gasp lifting it up. She took the Small letter and read it loud for us to hear. You deserve to be with a King who would treat you like a Queen~Alex Chapter 62: Grudges of the past Christine. I twitched my mouth in surprise as I stared at the gold ring and little note in my hands. Do I deserve a king? I fought back theugh and pursed my lips at this guys audacity. He barely knows me but hes already behaving as if weve been dating for decades and this could only mean one thing. hes doing this to piss Fanuel. I raised my head to Look at Fanuel but hes already zing fire in eyes. This guy looks awfully dangerous when angry but hellishly cute. He loosened his tie without saying anything while Jayden gestured his hands forward for the letter. An amused smile breaks through those wless lips. Ive really missed him and his prudent behavior. Alex is really really sagacious He blurted out and looked at Fanuel who was unbelievably calm. Wait for me at the reception Christine. He said calmly and I frowned. Why should he dismiss me when I need to also know why Alex sent that? I want to know the agreed grudge he has with Alex. Im not. Dont even wear that tenacious act here, get out! I need to also know why Alex sent me that, stop shutting me out on matters that concern me. Christine?! Fanuel! Are you telling me to ept that ring? I guess I should have signed a contract with someone like that instead, he would have treated me like a queen and not a. Get out!! This will be thest time I will remind you to know your ce and stop overstepping boundaries. Fanuels voice pieces my skin dangerously. Queen my trashstop being nosy and get the fuck out. That really hurts my bones as I stared at Jayden who gave me a sorry look. It seems whatever they want to say was too sensitive for me to hear after all. I should know my boundaries and stop overstepping them. I felt tears burning my eyes as I took my heels out of the exquisite ss boardroom. Is this how my life will be? I get shut out at sensitive matters and Im being reminded of my status every now and then.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. I keep crying and wing mes on Webb when I should do something, I need to figure out what the heck is going on? I cant survive another close to Fanuel who acts lightly sweet now and acts extremely dangerous then. I want my life back, I need to be free and find my voice and not being sentimental about every little thing. If I dont show my worth, Fanuel Hudson will continue to see and use me like trash when we are even. I couldnt file a case against him, that dude had the bestwyer all over the country and power from all nooks and cranny. I took slow steps to the restroom and stared at my reflection in the mirror. I was damn beautiful for a douchebag to treat me more or less. I dropped my purse on the white sink while I punched some numbers in my phone and waited for it to ring. Easton? Christine.. are you okay? Did that* Im fine, I sniffed. Shit! You dont sound okay sis.. where the heck are you? Hudsons chemical technologies, Fanuel took me there. Im on my way, just hang on. Im already close by. He said and I closed my eyes with relief. Staying close to my brother will be my medicine and I could really do with getting out from this ce while they take their trash in solitude. I wont be tossed out like a moron to sit and wait while I get pitiful stares from bypassers. To hell with them. I rinse my hands when a beautiful petitedy surges forward and passes me to wash her hands and apply some lip gloss without breaking contact with me. Youre beautiful. She said and blinked. Oh.. thanks, you too. Its obvious youre going through a sham, why not quit. Now who the heck is this? Dont worry, Im just someone going through the same fate. But if you dont fight back, you will crumble to nothing. How do you know me? She scoffed. Who doesnt know the famous billionaire wife? Youre more like a celebrity to the world but a puppet at home. I can show you how to use these powers and fight for yourself . Im not interested, thanks. I know you will say that, Im one of your husbands investors, heres my card. I stared at her hands until she dropped it in my purse and smiled. Ka Anderson. Her name was written boldly on the beautiful Pink card. I whipped my face to stare at her, my guts doesnt like this woman at all. Just give me a call, we can be besties, you know. She gave me a wink and swayed her hips as she left. I scoffed, besties indeed! Shes someone going through the same fate, does it mean shes aware of my predicament? How the heck does she know? I thought all these were supposed to be kept away from the public eyes, whats it with everyone these days. I carried my purse and dapped my face with my fingers before heading out. Easton should be here anytime soon. ***** Third pov None of these hyperventting acts of yours will work, we just need to watch his every move quietly. Jay told his brother who was keen on causing havoc to Alex. While he keeps pulling pranks? That idiot followed me all the way to Dubai like an evil spirit! So you would prefer having scandals barely after you just resumed? Fanuel bit his lips and sighed. Im meeting his father Jayden stood up. You cant do that jeez! That guy already hates our guts. Forget the fact that he dislikes his son, he dislikes dad too and will do anything to see us crumble dont be swayed by that facde he wears as an uncle. Do you have a better suggestion? Fanuelsee dont you think Alex is doing all of this because of Crystal? Fanuel whipped his eyes as a warning to Jayden. Dont you ever mention her name again! I just.. Stop!!! Its a dead and forbidden topic I will never want anyone to brood on.. never!! Alex will do anything to bring you down now that hes back, its either you settle amicably or you both face the consequences. Fanuel reached for the bottle of water standing close to him and he uncovered it and gulped everything to calm his scorching throat. Everything was getting too much for him to digest at once. He stared at the beautiful package sent to Christine and trash it in the bin. He was going to ignore him, he thinks using Christine would be a bait to make him waver ore at him. He should try harder cause his sole aim right now was his fatherspany and not any personal grudges of the past. Chapter 63: She signed the contract A DEAL WITH THE CEO Alex She signed it!! She stupidly signed the damn contract! MehnIm feeling dynamite right now. All I need to do is wait and watch the drama unfold, its going to be a st. I was still in Sky Rocks hotel when Celine called me and informed me of the deed. She was stupidly good and I cant be more ted. What am I giving her in return? Absolutely nothing than a good fuck to make her go bat shit crazy. But I shouldnt be too excited, Fanuel has his ways of slipping through my trap no matter how efficient his ns are. I should devise a n B just in case this one flops. What? I asked one of my men who barged in rudely with my phone in his hands. Your Dad is in the Give it to me. I cut in rudely and rolled my eyes before collecting the device. Hi Malcolm. Have some respect Alex! He red. Respect doesnt exist in my dictionary, why did you call? Where are you? Thest time I checked, you threw me in the Rehab.. where else did you expect me to be. Come home immediately, we need to discuss something very importantyour mum wants to see you That tone wont work on me, stop using mum as a bait to fulfill your Selfish means. Theres nothing more important to you than business and Im not interested and if Mum worries too much about me, exin to her how to sent me to the Rehab in Chicago. I said and cut the call before flinging the phone on the bed. What does he think he is to parade me as he wants? Hes gotten his pound of flesh by disgracing me always and sending me to the most solitude ce thinking Im crazy, now he wants me to appear home like the well behaved child he raisedhehe he must be really crazy. I turned on the tv to check on any current update but the first thing that weed me was Hudsons chemical technologies taking the media. I scoffed at the headlines and grinned.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. By this time tomorrow, thatpany will erupt into a volcano. Fanuel taking over the globe with my foot!! I was going to use the closest things to destroy himpletely, for taking my rights and doing the most dreadful things that crushed my hearthe hasnt started yet. Something shed my mind instantly and I smiled widely. Why didnt I think of that all this while? I fetched my phone and called the doctor in-charge of Fanuels Dad. Yeah Doc, how is my uncle? Still the same, we hope for a miracle. He said dejectedly at the other end and I twitched my lips. Is there not any other way? Like flying him out of the country or inviting experts to try something? Fanuel would have been the first person I would have told if there was another way. this is the most expensive and best medical service weve ever given to anyone. Just call me when anything happens. I felt anger rising at the bile of my throat when he mentioned Fanuel I sighed dejectedly and cut the call staring at the nk space before me. If theres anyone who would disagree to Fanuels union with a strangers daughter especially one who Stole millions from hispany is Hudson Cruiz. He would do whatever it takes to take this business to the next world or around the globe. Mirabels Father had promised him that but Fanuel dumped her as soon as he had the chance to. His father needs to wake up, not that he cares but for Mirabel to sneak into the Hudson family for his personal gains and vital information. ***** Fanuel. Its been two hours since Christine left thepany and she isnt back. Jayden wont leave either until shees back so hes annoyingly stuck with me asking myriads of questions. Why are you nervous? She only went out with her brother. Jay please keep shut. I nce at my watch and twitch my lips. She doesnt have the right to leave my sight ever! She didnt leave, dummy. You sent her out! Damn this guy! Did I say that out loud? Wait! This is so unusual Fanuel, youre acting really weird please stop it. . l I ignored Jayden and jammed my hands in pockets and walked toward the window. The street lights really beautified the city and gave it a sparkling look, the clouds cowered slowly into darkness and evening took over. I closed my eyes and let the forbidden images dwell in my head. Alex is bent on making my life miserable with that, Ive let him have his way for too long but I wont tolerate that anymore. If he messes up with me again, Ill kill him without batting an eyelid. Whatever happened to Crystal should be buried but he keeps digging it out and acts like a psycho. He should stay away from Christine if he doesnt want to see the beastly side of him, he should stop pinning something that was her his fault. Oops! I think they are back but someone is going to break your nose. Jayden said as he watched Easton and Christine from thetv. He was visibly angry despite the fact that Christine was trying her best to coax him into leaving. The stares from the workers were too much for her to handle so she regrettably led her brother to the elevator. Who do we have here, Ive missed you Easton. I greeted sarcastically but he stared daggers at me. Its my pleasure dummy but you need to do a better job on not parading my sister around. She was in mypany thest time I checked. You trashed her out for a useless conversation that concerned her, her life might be in danger; dont you think so? Easton, please thats enough! Christine yelled at him and his face softened. Fine pumpkin. But if he tries anything funny again, Ill punch his nose. I scoffed while she nodded. Jay smiles at us while he stares at Easton. I know you and my brother are besties but can we shake it off with a drink, you totally toss me off nowadays. You tossed me off first, I cant believe this douchebag is your brother! He mmed and I seeth. Just fuck off please, I need some time alone with my wife. I butted in while Christine rolled her eyes. Take care Christine. Jay smiles sweetly at her and she returns the same gesture before we watch them leave. I wrapped my hands on her wrist tightly above her head and mmed her back to the wall staring at her intently with anger visibly showing on my face but she wasnt fazed at all by my expression. Keep doing this and I will destroy that brother of yours. Her face welled up in tears and she gave out a dryugh. Touch a hair on my brother and I will literally kill you!! I dont care how!! She mmed at me and for once I saw the seriousness that flickered on her face. Chapter 64: A slip Third Pov. Fanuel had already left for work when Christine reached for her phone on thempstand with her eyes still closed. A habit she had formedtely and she sessfully fetched it forcing her eyes open to look at the time. How could she have slept that long? She didnt need a soothsayer to tell her that Fanuel already left. That jerk! How dare he threaten her brother!! The only person she has in this world to look up to, she would go extra miles to make sure Easton is safe and if he dares plot anything to hurt him, she will hurt him in double folds. Yawning, shezily drags herself from the bed and enters the fancy pink bathroom to brush her teeth. She hissed at how Fanuel thinks she fancy pink to decorate everywhere with such Barbie colors. Her brush, sponge, hair towel and body towel to everything in this beautiful restroom screams pink!! After brushing she packed her hair into a messy bun and fetched the shower cap. She was tired of washing and drying the hair, in fact shes just toozy to do anything. The water sshes all over her body as she savors the hot water cascading all over her body. She closed her eyes and a little light of hope sparkled in her mind. Easton was tracking Webb and he was making a little progress. He had told her when he came over, showing her Webbs previous IP address he had on his phone andptop. Easton has always had ess to his dadsptop and phone but how he memorized those vital codes shocked her. I was able to hack into hisptop when he changed his password He had told her and she gasped. Why? Because that guy stopped sending me cash! I was out of cash Christine but he wasvishing life as the manager of Hudsons technologies, I got pissed and did the needful and damn!! I was surprised at what I saw. Easton, if you can hack hisptop, why not do the same to his ount? Who knows, we could retrieve the millions he stole from Fanuel and. I cant, he changed everything and I dont have ess to anything at all. Even the IP address is as good as useless, if not for the fingerprint he used on theptop, everything would have gone down the drain tracking him. He destroyed the Sim card used. Thats bad Easton. My voice cracked with disappointment. Theres just a slight hope. I was able to use that thumbprint to track him the day he left and it led me to the international airport. That was where he took off right? Did it show you where he went to? No Christine, I dont know yet, I need to go to the airport and ask the air officials to take a look at the passengers history and some IT procedures but it would be almost impossible cause I need a warrant for that. It was impable!! How he was able to do all of that stunned her but without money and power, Easton will never be able to carry out that sessfully. She came out of the shower and stepped out naked while she used the towel to mop her body. Christine!! Jesus Christ! She screamed and bent at once and covered herself but it was futile. Get up bitch, its me. That voice could only belong to one person, so she slowly tilted her to see Laurel standing with her hands on the sides of her waist. Christine sags in relief as she ties the towel to cover her naked self. Laurel, you scared the shit out of me! I can see you dont even miss me! Jeez.. Im going to get married tomorrow. Stop being an ass, I called you twenty times and prayed for you daily. Yeah, how ironic. Come here. She went over to hug Laurel who smiled widely at her. You shouldnt be acting so shocked even if Fanuel enters here to see like that, hes your husband you know. Can you stop rubbing that shitty word on my face? Hes fake.. Youre bound by Howe youre here, I thought I wont see you soon She asked, squirting some lotion in her hands to rub it on her wless skin. Your husband called Jay to send me over, he thinks you will cling to another random person once hes gone. You know today is thepanys project inauguration. Christine sighed and rolled her eyes, Fanuel had to do all of that to prevent her from leaving the house. How pathetic!! Whats it with the inaugural shit, isnt it just to sign up and get the work done? No baby, other officials will be there. Especially those who invested and signed with thepany. I heard Mirabels dad is going to be there too. She whipped her eyes at one to her. The President? Yep, Fanuels now the big fish of New Jersey. She rolled her eyes and opened her wardrobe making Laurel gasped. Are you going to open a boutique store? Ask Fanuel when hees back. She fetched a brown tank top and leather shorts to wear while she slipped her into her pants.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. You should eat something, Ill get it for you. No, we are going to get it together. ***** So you like him right? Christine Ask Laurel who couldnt stop ranting about Jayden. Im crazy about him , Christine but Im scared, I feel like its too good to be true that Im finally getting closer to my crush. I .. I feel I dont worth it. Why? Cause hes a rich nigga and youre just a maid? Laurel nodded while Christine sighed. Then wait for a rich chick to grab your man away from you! Thats harsh Christine! If youre lucky enough to see a guy that loves you irrespective of your status, you should grab it tight and show him that you have more than money. Show him your worth and prove to him that youre not like other bitches. Now! Thats warm. So how about Fanuel? I get angry when his name pops up. Youre stuck with him, remember? I know. Her voice cracks and tears welled, making Laurel surprised. Its okay if you dont wanna talk about it just.. Im tiredhes sweet this second and harsh the next minute. He doesnt give a damn about my existence Laurel!! I just want to go home and cuddle with my mum or brother and wake up from this sanity. I want to shake off the thought that my Dad this to me and raped me to shredsIShit!! Christine cursed after discovering that she spilled an abominable truth. Christ!! Christine, your dad did what? Its nothing, that was a slip. Thats not a Laurels phone sted loudly and distracted them both. She hesitated before picking up the call. Yes, shes herewhy? Fine, I will ask her. She cut the call and stared at Christine intently. Is that Jay? Yes, he wants me to turn on the news and ask you if you know anything about it. Instant Panic and fear prickled Christines skin and she stood up immediately and reached for the remote. She pressed the button and left the entertainment channel to the news channel. Her blood froze. Chapter 65: Third party鈥檚 enemy Fanuel. Tell me this is not happening!N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. I stare at the file and documents again and even bring it closer to my face to be sure of what Im seeing but its the same thing. I reached for the water beside me and gulped it at once. I think I feel hot so I loosened my tie a bit. I almost sank to the ground when Celine told me that Christine already signed the contract papers thepany is supposed to use for the project! No!! The whole board members heard that shit loud and clear. I wish I never knew her signature then I would have concluded that someone is trying to frame her or someone else did it. This is her fucking signature!! Does she have a freakingpany to do that? Meeting dismissed, I apologize for wasting your time. I will schedule a date for the next one. I said coyly knowing how stupid I sound right now. A sharp pain slices through my head and I wince. The investors all left and I watched how Mirabels dad gave me a pitiful nod. They were going to vent all their insults and frustrations on the media, their silence was just a notice. I was going crazy!! Whats happening? Jay was the first person to ask while I took off my jacket and dismissed my staff except Celine. Something isnt right, no matter how my head is screaming that Christine signed the damn papers. God!! Is this how thepany will end? Speak up! I directed the words to Christine as she shook in fear. I couldnt even recognise my own voice. Im sorry but your wife asked for the project file in your name and I gave it to her. Christine was only here yesterday, how the hell did that happen?!! I mmed my fist on the table and yelled. After she received the package, I have few witnesses who saw it when she came to me. You can rey the CCTV if you wantI thought I was following your orders, I never knew she had other motives. She exined in deep fear not meeting my gaze. I bit my lips so hard in anger until I tasted blood. What did she say? She said that she needs the current contract project thats yet to be signed, you had actually requested it and since you were having the meeting yesterday, I had reason to doubt her. Celine said and I threw a fist on the wall and yelled. Fanuel, Christine doesnt even know such a thing exists!! Please stop reacting this way and make proper investigation. Jayden pleads. He was confused as well and had to call Laurel to ask her if she knew anything but she hasnt replied till now. Is this what she meant by killing me even if she doesnt know how? Call the witness, I want to hear each of them speak. I told Celine coldy and she nodded before going out. This damage was impairable. Gosh, I could break down this instant. I took off my jacket and ignored Jayden totally looking nk at whatever trash hes spewing. Fan.. I think someone is trying to set Christine up. I know all this is bizarre but I know that Get out Jay!! I yelled at him. Fanuel!! One more word and I will order the securities to throw you out! He scoffed. Youre making a mistake!! If you punish Christine for these baseless usations You call this baseless huh? Are you listening to yourself dummy!!! Thispany was running fine until her dad swindled with the foundation of thispany rendering it useless!! Dad is in aa and his health is still at stake because of what hes had harbored for years and stands there telling me shit about a girl Im going to kill right now. Get out please. I quivered and watched him leave in silence. I turned on the tv and I was the first person to appear on the screen with nastyments. Rude, disrespectful, careless and dumb. I scoffed when I saw the headlines. Lover boy disrespecting the president for his wifes sake. Those bloggers are full of shit!! Edward stormed inside and Stared me in shock. I saw it on the news and I didnt believe it, Christine didnt do it right? I was too angry to answer him, instead I reached for the locker beside me and fetched my wine to drink. You know she didnt do it right? I smashed the cup to the wall in anger and stood up. Whats it with you guys huh? You think I dont know her damn signature!! What is it with the silly defense, something that has cost me thepany!! Chill dude!! This is crucial bit Christine wont sign that stuff out of the blue. Sing that shit to the press. I removed my tie and threw it away, heading for the door. Christine and I are going to have a long shitty talk. ***** Mirabel. I will give extra credits to Alex this time around for fluxing the n perfectly. I couldnt suppress my happiness as I drank my drink, Fanuel will have no choice but to run to my arms and plead. Im his only savior right now except Christine has apany of her own to start the project. Hes a genius, I cant believe this happened in a twinkle. I told Diana who smirked. Poor Christine, shes going to have a ck eye. Thats for iming whats not hers. She didnt im, she was forced. Youre just pissed Fanuel didnt choose you. I red at her angrily. Watch your tongue Diana, I only happened to dump him earlier. He was just too stubborn. Jane scoffed. He dumped you when he had the chance, he never liked you. I think youre fighting over nothingyoure too ssy to be running after a man, I wish to be in your positionmen will cling to me always. I sneered. I fight for something that have value, not dickheads who are just after my money. By the way, you did a good job. Iplimented her as I thought of every possibility to make Christine sign those papers. She was very intelligent and would read any write-up before signing anything ording to Diana. But she came up with an idea to make her sign it through a delivery process. A package was to be initially sent to the mansion and she will be coerced to sign as the receiver without having the time to read through the contents of the documents. But I got information that she went out with Fanuel to thepany. I told Alex to contact Celine to make sure Christine got out of the meeting to sign the documents in disguise of epting the delivery which he agreed and was conducted sessfully. My next motive right now is to take Alex out of the picture. Once I have Fanuel, I would not tolerate third partys enemy. Chapter 66: Haywire to hellfire Fanuel. I stared nkly at the doctor who hovered over Christine as he checked her pulse and blood pressure. She was fine. I rubbed my temples and sighed in relief, releasing shaky breaths and sucking in deep breaths. I was extremely mad that I couldnt think anymore, all that was clouded on my mind was that I lost a whopping contract worth billions of dors. I lost all my shit and re-up, not caring about anything that moment but to vent all my anger and frustration to Christine who kept pleading. It was alreadyte as she slowly slipped into consciousness making me cower in fear as a memory flickered before my very eyes. Crystal. I was right there when she died, I couldnt do a thing to save her! Thinking about that incident gives me a hard migraine. I swore not to beat a girl to a pulp but I totally lost my shit when it came to Christine and regretted the next minute. Deep down, I shouldnt give a damn. I shouldnt fret but punish her for her dads crimes but my heart keeps screaming at me at how wrong that sounds!! Fuck!! Im going crazy right now. Why would Christine even sign a very vital document the first day she stepped into thepany? I was so blinded by the thought that she might have plotted something outrageous to get back at me but it couldnt have been in this manner!! I mmed my fist on the wall causing it to vibrate from the effect.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Alex!! That son of a bitch! My heart mmed against my ribcage and everything now dawned on me. The package, the ring, now rings a bell. Christine was fooled into signing the contract thinking it was just an ordinary delivery package confirmation. My throat became raspy and dry as I stared at Christine whose fragile bodyy weakly. Herst words echoed in my ears before she went unconscious and I closed my eyes deserving every bit of it. Fuck you Fanuel, Fuck you Webb. She cursed her Dad. She had to since he was the foundation of the earthquake he created before disappearing. Maybe his mother was right, he was slowly turning into a monster. Ever since Crystal died, he became immune to anything and anyone especially with Alex. I was definitely going to kill that douchebag if he didnt stop messing with him. I Shouldnt be thinking about Crystal right now but Damn!! I fucking miss her! I know I sound outright stupid but that was the reason I kept Christine, those hazel eyes that got me crumbling on my feet. Edward and Jay bursted in like a sh and stared at the doctor who was now infusing the drip on her. They were mortified. You didnt do this to her right? My brothers voice cracked with emotions and I swallowed hard. He was at the verge of breaking down but he tug his hair instead. My palms be sweaty not because of what they would do to me but because. because my heart was shredding in guilt. I shouldnt have hurt her. Say something. Edward asked as he stared at her shaking his head. If theres anything about my friend its his ability to control his temper. He would nevery hands on anyone, well of course except Alex. I cant do this Edward, Im out of here. Jay what? I dont know where my brother is anymore!! he spat out with spite. You dont hit a woman, never! Its clearly visible that Christine might have been tricked into signing this. We could have sought a solution but Fanuel rendered the innocent girl in this state. Can you be calm for a moment? You will worsen the case if you sing this outside. Edward was suppressing his emotions for my sake and he needed to make sure Jay doesnt tell anyone about whatever happened. Im done boss, she will be up in the next five hours. The doctor said and I nodded watching him leave through the entrance. While they had their argument, I didnt butted in or show any emotions. My expression was in and nk, devoid of whosoever was breathing. I had one goal after shes up, I dont care if her hatred for me triples, Im meeting with Alex right now and beating the crap out of him. It wouldnt rece the embarrassment I had during the meeting or rece the damaged contract except my wife has apany to carry out the project. Nothing could be done at this moment other than to devise another n to prevent thepany from going bankrupt. As for Mirabel, she could be my Saviour right now but knowing that bitch, she would ask for the abominable. I will use her as a bait to get what I want with or without granting her request. Where are you going? Edward asked me when I reached for the door. To find out who created this mess, take care of her. I said dryly and left hearing Jayden cursed me. ***** Edward. I know my friend can be an ass sometimes but I think he went too far with Christine. I know the damage thepany put him through but killing her wont solve the problem. I stared at Christine whoy peacefully while the drip infused slowly into her body. A mere look could tell that she was in pain, her hair was sprawled on the bed with dry patches of blood on her cheeks. Her lips were dry and cracked with her mouth slightly open, Her brows were always arranged while hershes were aligned beautifully. She was still beautiful even in this state, I sighed and tossed off some tendrils of hair threatening to fall while Jay hissed. Christine shouldnt stay with Fanuel Your brother would not like that tone Oh! You prefer hemits murder right? Im not saying so but shes legally married to him, she doesnt have a choice and Fanuel will have to break someones nose before suggesting that shit. I guess we just have to prove her innocence and check up on her. I cant believe he did this. Me either, she just appears unlucky to be his punch bag. Christine is innocent, I know it. Aside from Alex, I wonder who plotted this. I was thinking the same, have you thought about the staff? A few of them confirmed that Christine asked for documents in person which was a tant lie. Something is really off. I sighed in frustration. The problems keep multiplying and we keep getting confused. Fanuel is just being riled up and pins anything to Christine to cover up faults. Its from haywire to hellfire! Chapter 67: Just the beginning A DEAL WITH THE CEO Fanuel. I followed Alex with Cole silently while I stared at him at the side mirror of the car to keep him in track. He was driving awfully slow, making me impatient in anger. I badly want to drive as fast as I can to hit him together with his car to ashes never to be seen again. That son of a bitch doesnt deserve to live after everything hes put him through, he keeps getting on his face despite him acting all calm and collected. If murder wasnt against thew, I would have stabbed him to hell so his existence would be a history. He took the left turn and drove further.. really slow and I frowned. This was the way to his parents house, I twitched my lips as I stared around to be sure. His Father was like an eyesore to him so going there only meant one thing. Its either his father had called or hes going there to make trouble. Slow down Cole, hes going to the Malcolm estate. Let him in first before following suit. He did as I ordered and I stepped down the moment I reached the front mansion, cracking my knuckles and neck as I walked inside. ***** Alex I only agreed to be here cause it concerns Fanuel. Dad had never in his life called me twice about something which bothered him. He only stated how urgent it is and I had no choice than to drive down here. A smile etched the corner of my face. I imagined Fanuel in a dilemma and in a confused state, Mirabel had told me that she was informed that he beat his wife to pulp. Poor Christine. My Dad came in and sat before me shaking his head in pity and expressing disbelief. Wheres mum? I shut him up with a question the moment I realized he was going to say something gibberish about him. Manners Alex! I threw them at the rehab. Why did you do that to Fanuel? You went too far by making that girl sign it. Did you threaten her? Did you call me here to talk about this, you always talk about crapexcuse me I stood up. Alex!! Why cant you behave for once? Get your shit together and have a life! I dislike that Fanuel guy but have you seen how incredible he istely? So am I supposed to p for him and award him? Spill whatever shit you want to tell me and let me leave. Stop pestering Fanuel I scoffed. Of course, your royal majesty. Alex!! Dont you ever call me to spew rubbish again! You need to take over Hudsons chemical technologies!! My Dad yelled and I saw how serious he was. I halted on my track and froze. What the fuck? Mypany has been closed down till further notice, Thepany ounts have been frozen and used of illegal services and the economic crimemission is working on giving us a sentence. Jeez!? Dad His face raised an amusing stare. Yeah, I rarely call him Dad but I was shocked beyond words. His own chemicalpany was always doing fine so whats all this breaking headlines hes spewing. You need to let Fanuel be so that I can make arrangements for you to take over. He crumbled mine and I wont sit and watch. Does it look like Im Interested in running apany Then get ready to freeze your ount. I gasped. How can you be so greedy than this Dad!! You have five otherpanies!! Its nothingpared to Oak bay!! He mmed back at me and I left my mouth agape. Oak bay?Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. What the hell Dad, You own thatpany? I didnt want the public to find out about the legal owner so I fixed that old Hag to run the business but he ruined everything by getting in Fanuels way and losing in court. Fanuel had to go as far as dwindling everything gradually. I inhaled deeply and sighed, closing my eyes in thought. I had better things to do with Fanuel than dragging apany with him, besides I dont even have a ir for running anypany at the moment but taking over thepany would ruin Fanuel and I fucking want that. Im not interested Dad, sort out your shit alone Youre still as useless as always he said disappointedly and I smirked. We are both even, a useless person seeks for a useless persons help or opinion. Youre still obsessed with that crystal girl huh, youre bent on taking a silly revenge that would never bring her back to life when you clearly killed her. My eyes burned in anger as I stared daggers at him. Being my father doesnt stop me from rendering you cripple, watch your tongue! He scoffed and drank the scotch on the coffee table while I turned my back at him to leave only to bump into Fanuel whose eyes were zing red. I smirked at him and bursted out in a sardonicughter. Hi Fanny, were you missing me that much toe here? I teased but the look on his eyes was no joke and oh dear!! It pleased me to see that angry stare. How is Chris. A heavy blownded on my nose before I could finish and I winced in pain not expecting that from him at all. Without giving me the chance to regain myposure, I felt his tight grip on my cor as endless fists were thrown to me. How.. dareyou..(blows) My face was smashed to the coffee table which broke at the hard contact with my face. I tried to retaliate but Fanuel was too strong and fueled in rage to even spare me a strength. How dare you Alex!! What do you want from me huh? He raised my face and I smiled at him amidst my pain. This is just I coughed out blood and groaned. Its just the beginning scumbag. I will really kill you then. you have a new n now. You should focus on taking over mypany rather than howling around my wife. He paused and started at my and smileda dangerous one but doesnt meet my bones at all. If I see you near Christine again, I Promise.. His voice cracked. I will take away everything life has to offer from you and you will live your miserable life in pain, I promise. His grip on my cor loosened and I sighed. You should listen to your father, taking over Hudsons Chemical should be your priority, who knows? You might even be the best CEO to exist in craziness He stared at my Father and gave a sardonicugh and a sarcastic bow before leaving the mansion stylishly. Blood flowed angrily through my vein as I watched him leave. That jerk!! The way to power A DEAL WITH THE CEO Christine. For some reason I thought I think Im dead, am I in heaven already?Content ? N?velDrama.Org. I raised my hands and reached for my phone firstly to be sure Im still alive but I couldnt feel anymp stand. Instead, soft hands wrapped my wrist and tucked it back to its initial position. I snapped my eyes open at once and fluttered myshes to be sure of where I was. The ceiling was all shaded of ice blue crystals dancing around with the reflection of the sun. The fragrance from the sheets is out of the world as I inhaled slowly and exhaled. I tried to get up but I felt a sharp pain slice through my head and I winced. Easy. His warm voice flows through and he helps me sit up and Im forced to look at him. Fanuel. The memories came rushing like a storm and I fling my hands away from him, staring at him like a ghost. This.. this guy here is a devil and Im not ready to get myself burned by him. I remembered the usations, the ps ,shes and disgusting stare. Tears welled my eyes blinding my vision and I realized Im in his room. The blue color design exins it all. I jerked up from the bed at once still wincing in pain as I held my head and hurriedly wore my crocs to flee out from this monster. Christine pleaseyoure still unwell. Stay away from me please. My voice was barely a whisper and I realized the drip was still connected to my veins. Without warning, I carefully removed the syringe attached and the ster to hold it firm. I turned on my heels but he held my wrist softly but firmly. I dont care if you feel like stabbing me but you need to eat something to take your medications ..I will send Laurel over or Diana to stay with youter but now, theres no one around. He said softly as if in pain and I could see the sincerity through his eyes. I wish I had a choice right now, I would lock myself away from him. I still need my health to fight for my rights and power. Staying close to a wife beater isnt my idea of fun right now. I released his grasp from my hands and went straight to the bathroom without permission. Im so over with shit! That little naive and calm wife was thrown out of the window cause I wont sit back anymore and be used or punched. I will fight to be free from these strings and shackles of confinement. Im taken aback at the aquatic view of the bathroom. If I hadnt seen this in soap operas, I would have screamed my lungs out right now from the big shark swimming freely under my feet. How can a bathroom be thisrger than our sitting room back at our house? I stared at the bath tub and jacuzzi, confused about where to stand before resigning to take the bathtub. I stripped, carefully not to brush my wounds before sliding in the warm water which rxed every tense nerves on my skin. I sighed before reaching out to take the hair shampoo and squirt arge amount of liquid to wash my hair. Mehn!! This smells so fucking good. After spending a few more minutes in the bathroom, I stepped out and wrapped his towel which stopped just below my thighs. Reality dawned on me as I had no clothes to wear except to go to my room but my clothes were lying beautifully on the bed when I entered the room. My cheeks flushed red when I saw my underwear and bra. Did Fanuel actually rummage through my wardrobe to bring this out? I pushed the silly thoughts aside and wore them quickly before he came around peeking. A soft knock on the door made me whip my attention to the door. Come in. I said and rolled my eyes knowing how awkward I sound. Its his room for crying out loud. He wheeled in a mouth watering dish drilling with ketchup and my stomach rumbled at the aroma. I realized how hungry I am and dig on food without any care in the world. He tried to say something but he chose not to, he entered the restroom and shut the door close. Im a light eater but I surprisingly ate such arge amount of the dish served, maybe its the antibiotics kicking its function. Holy shit!! This guy came out looking like a water God with water dripping all over his hair and face. His milky skin.. No Im not doing this. checking him out again and swooning over nonsense. I stood up and wheeled the tray out when his voice stopped me. Christine. your medicine. I simply passed and took the medicine I carelessly dropped to get the hell out. Christine Fanuel, can you just get the hell out and leave me alone! I spat with disgust. His calm and tender voice means nothing to me anymore. It irks me when he looks at me with warm and sorry eyes. You can hit me if you want but please just get out and let me be!! I retorted harshly and left the room feeling irritated by his cute stare. You need to rest more, it will let the. I know.I cut him off before hepleted his statement. He was dressed in a pink tuxedo looking like a K pop actor with his hair all curled and wavy. I could see deep lines of confusion on his head and he exhaled, almost in pain. His phone rang that minute and he picked without hesitating. Mirabel.. where are you? I felt blood drained from my skin at that bitchy name. I dont know why Im feeling so flushed and angry right now at the fact hes going to see Mirabel even during work. He couldnt even apologized for what he did and hes still fucking around. He cut the call with a sigh and I stared at my phone not meeting his gaze. I dont mind you getting mad at me forever, I would go crazy if anything bad happens to you again. Just stay put and give a call if you need anything. I ignored him and watched him leave while I clutch the card tight to my belly. I brought out the card in view and read out the names swiftly. Ka Anderson I punched the numbers on my phone as I called the only woman who promised to show me the way to power. Stamped in my heart Christine. I sat nervously and stared around the huge milky coloured sitting room in awe. A beautiful maid smiled politely at me and informed me of Kas arrival while she ced a tray of juice beside me. A huge chandelier hung proudly in the room with beautiful tiny white bulbs topliment the brightness that sparkled in the room. Ka descended the stairs with a huge smile stered on her face as she approached me. I never knew your idea of being smart was awesome, Im d youre alive. She said and sat down taking the juice before me to drink I dont understand. I finally found my voice. She was really beautiful. Tall with Blonde hair, hips that entuate her figure and big brown puppy eyes. You mistook my idea of being smart and taking over by signing your husband C I didnt do it. I hissed. I thought as much, Alex really stepped on his game really hard this time. I frowned. You know Alex? Who doesnt, Fanuels most hated enemy since childhood. Why is he bent on destroying him? You know, cats and dogs can never be friends no matter how they try.. so its really cliche for them. So how do you know about my status with Fanuel? I asked curiously but an amused smile stretched the edges of her lips. Cause its so obvious! Youre just being controlled, used for some purpose thats not your fault. Ive been there before. You were married to Fanuel? No dummy, to someone else but with the same status. But Look at me today, its from the trenches to treasure. You want me to take advantage of Fanuel as his wife and squander his money? I will really give you credit for your smartness girl. Jeez Ka!! That would brand me as a thief, it will. make no difference from my father. Its different!! Youre just a victim of an ugly mess created by your dad. I bet you had nothing when you were thrown into that mansion, imagine if everything expires now; you will be thrown out to that same trenches with absolutely nothing!! So what do want me to do? im the contract you signed. I gasped in horror. How? Make Fanuel change thepanys owner to yours. I mean the will stating that hes the owner of Hudsons will automatically be directed to you as the owner. Youre crazy! I mmed. Craziness got me thevish lifestyle Im living today. I just did a few touching and edits to the idiots document and boom!! I bit my lips hard and stare at her in anger, I cant believe this is what I wasted my time to hear. I cant do that. Then perish! What do you mean by that? Youre still so naive that you dont know who Fanuel Hudson is; that guy will never give a fuck about you. Youre just another piece ofmodity he needs to save his name andmodity. Its more worse cause he would do anything to save his fathers name and put you in front of his mess. Is this your idea of standing up for myself and fighting for power? Exactly!! You can only stand up for yourself with affluence and wealth. Take over thepany and cause a scene on the media to support you. You already have fans without doing anything how much more doing something more glossy. Youre crazy!I say taking my bag and shaking my head in disbelief. Fanuel will shove down my throat into the grave before I even think of standing to im anything, besides I have a conscience. Fear is one weakness that will crush you even before you start, you need toss it aside. Ill rather toss away greed and foolishness that will lead me to my doom!! What your take in this? I believe you wont give such a sweet advise for free. I dont need Fanuels money Christine, Im only helping someone that was once in my state. Youre just too beautiful and fragile to be ignored. Wow how generous of you! Thanks darling. I replied sarcastically and took to my heels. Youre in love with him, arent you? I momentarily freeze at the rubbish she vomited and turn to stare at her. You care about him, if not you wont banter words or argue about having your fair share of Fanuels Hudsons wealth. Im not in love with that douchebag, I dont need to love anybody to prove my dignity and manners. It might not feed me but I will have my sanity and peace of mind in check. Continue squandering millions thats not yours and expect karma to be nice to you. I shook my head in total disbelief and went out. I thought she was going say something to ease my burning heart but she spewed trash like a psycho wanting me to do the abominable. I sighed in dissapointment and closed my eyes as the air conditioner from the car hit me. Fanuel was so many things but stealing from him was totally out of it. I could render another persons hardwork useless or make it go down the drain just because he did something to me. I stepped down from the car and hurriedly entered the mansion to take off this heavy gown when I saw Diana seatedfortably on the sofa. I didnt know how to describe this irritating feeling churning from the pit of my stomach but I faked a smile at her. Dee. Christine, youre glowing! She eximed and I rolled my eyes turning my back to her to unzip my dress which she did voluntarily.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Are you mocking me? You and I know that I look like shit. How have you been. In hell. She chuckled. Fanuel called me to check up on you, which I found really weird. After you went viral yesterday, I was literally confused and scared for you. I know, Im still shocked too. But you seem okay, did he hit you or something. She asked to check every part of my skin and I found that suspicious. Did Fanuel said he hit me? Nope, I know Fanuel was definitely not going to take it easy on you. Everyone knew that, even Jay and Edward came over to confirmed that. They came over? I asked in shock. Howe I didnt notice their presence? He beat you up didnt he? She asked after observing my confusion and nodded in defeat. Christine can you remember the name of Company that coerced you into signing the contract? Did you see face of the guy or someone else? I thought hard and close my eyes trying to remember the guy that literally forced and showed me nk ces to sign with the gesture of his hands. He had purposely covered some parts of the documents so I had blindly signed. His face was stamped in my heart! How could I forget such person that tricked me to into signing a doom? I stared at at Diana and shook my head negatively. I really cant remember. Downright sexy A DEAL WITH THE CEO Christine. The past three months were like the worst and busiest part of my life. Laurel and Jane came over often to keep me but while Edward was always here to make meugh my brains out and his unnecessary flirting but it still felt boring. Fanuel was unusually quiet and harmless. There was no news about the business and his saggy attitude made me believe it wasnt going fine. He rarely take much and tried his best to avoid contact with me. He gives strict instructions to his men to make sure they give me whatever I want and gave others the go ahead to visit me. Diana had been really suspicious and I slowly drift myself away from her and avoided her like a gue. From her extravagant lifestyle to the way she likes everything that concerns Fanuel irkes the hell out of me. I was yet to find out what she has under her sleeves so I just had to y along. Easton was myst strength and the progress he had made so far made me sheen in hope. That son of a bitch called my father was hiding away in Chicago, we are still tracking his exact location but Jayden had suggested we get a picture of him so he could send it one of his allies in Chicago. He had been really kind and sweet, He supported my brother into Webb and made him have ess to any facilities he needed. Initially, I was worried about money and power but Jayden made that a tip of the iceberg with just a phone call and Easton was able to sweep the whole airport to fish out Webb. My nightmares never stoppeding until I used pills to make me sleep but Fanuel. he was totally distant. At some point, I thought he was irritated by me but that wasnt the case as she had countlessly caught him staring at her in a way that made her whole body hot. She wasnt supposed to be affected by this new behaviour but she was totally disturbed. An angry Fanuel was more better than mute one. It was past 2100 hours and hes yet to arrive from work. I dragged myzy self to my room but halted at Fanuels room. He rarely talks to me ever since heyed his hands on me about the contract. I didnt hear him grin or have the chance to see his sexy smirk any longer. Those aura he exudes were all faded and hes just appears like a warm calm lonely god. I sent that word thats threatening to fall from my lips and reached for the handle of the door. I could stare at the beauty of his room all-day long without getting bored. I dont what came over me but I just think I should piss him off a little. I want to see that angry re and hear that wicked voice of his, vibrating through the whole room. Its stupid to feel that way but thats what I want. I dont mind him hitting me as long as he says something to me rather than being mute. I opened his wardrobe and i gasped at therge decor and shirts that hung. Holy grail!! What would a man do with 400 stacks of white shirt? I reach out for thest expensive designs and there it on my body. I was wearing only a tank top and shorts. I sighed deeply and inhaled his scent from his shirt. Gosh!! Whats wrong with me? I rummaged through everything in his room and make sure it was scattered before jumping on the kings sized bed to wait for him, slowly getting defeated by sleep. ***** Jayden. I could tell my brother was avoiding find home as unwatched him flip through the files countlessly. Hes been surprisingly calm these few days and it braces me up to wait for the worse.Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Fanuel has never been the calm typeever! You dont want go home? I asked him and he raised that annoying brow of his and smirked. Why? Cause youre still busy doing nothing here, you were done three hours ago. I still need to finish this, Alex is doing a good job of keeping quiet these days to the over thepanyHe chuckled and continued. You can never tell his next move He said and smirked at me. Youre avoiding Christine! I blurted out and his face wears a shocked expression but he his it with a smile. Why will I avoid my wife? Why will you sit her for hours and let her stay alone till now! Do you have a guardian at home Infact forget it, stay here forever.. Ill go check on her. I say and left without hearing a word from him and I could feel him running after me to the car. Youre really something else Fanuel. He rolled his eyes at me and stared outside the window while I started the engine to life and drove out. Panic washed Fanuels face as he came out of Christines room. Is she in? I asked standing up but he walked past me and searched everywhere for her. The mansion was too big that I hissed in frustration and checked around. I just hope Christine is okay and safe as I felt a faint fear at the possibility of her getting kidnapped by Alex or some random. No, I pushed the thoughts out. His men were already everywhere for Christine to slip through them. Fanuel came over and shook his head. I cant fine her anywhere. His voice quivered with worry and it was my turn to be shocked. When did Fanuel started behaving like a worried husband? Have you checked your room? Christine would never nce at that room talkless of going in? I walked past him and headed to his room when I held back myughter. The room was a mess!! His safe and lockers were all opened with his items lying carelessly on the floor. His wardrobe was kept ajar and I took the time to check on some designers shirt. Get your hands off it. He snapped but I unhanged the most expensive Italian shirt, its mine now. Everything was termed upside down as I had a slight sight not noticing Christine on the bed. His sharp gasp made me look at his direction and oh boy!! Girl was downright sexy on those shirt she wore. Fanuel face palms himself and bit his lips and gave and amused chuckle. I expected him tosh out but he said something that made me drain in shock. I thought she was never going to miss me! I鈥檝e missed you too A DEAL WITH THE CEO Fanuel. I decked around the room and picked every single item that was turned upside down and scattered. I stood by the doorway and stared at Christine wearing my shirt before shutting my eyelids. I felt sweet blood running down to the unwanted areas and illegal sensations and I sighed in frustration. Fuck!!! What was this girl doing to him and provoking him like this? She was like an angel sprawled on his bed and looking sexy with those naked thighs. Ive been trying these past few days to avoid her, to make sure I kept my space and distance to make her happy when I was literally going insane. Not being able to hear that voice was like a torture, as the days goes by, I find myself wishing for the formidable and also restraining myself. I didnt wanted her to feel like Im taking advantage of her or see her tears because of my temper. Its really weird of how I just want her to be contented and happy. Seeing her talk and chat with others cheerfully while I felt she would rip me apart with her stare was always heart clenching. She seemed happy and I felt cornered and disturbed. But right now staring at her on my bed makes me want to cage her, to apologize ten times over for treating her like trash and ask her about her Dad, Webb. Theres no more hiding that Webb is an asshole. From the way she talks about him her brother, I could sense the hatred vibrating from her voice. I want to run my hands through those silky thighs and kiss her tender lips. Fuck!! I dont know what this is but my body is on fire as I stare at her. Ive been a good boytely but mehn!! Im deaf when ites to her. Jeez! Fanuel get a grip. I swallowed hard when I traced my eyes to her boobs, I felt hard instantly and groaned. Why was I affected by this girl? This is not good, maybe I will really have to travel to get my shit together or fuck some random person to relive me of this illicit feeling. I took the couch and forced myself to drift into sleep. ******* Christine. I stretched my legs and reached for my phone on themp stand. Typical of me, always doing an addictive habit. I yawned in surprise as I couldnt feel anymp stand. The sweet scent of the bedsheets and the cloth I wore hit me and I snapped my eyes open to meet a sexy Fanuel all shirtless with hisptop on hisps and a cocky stare. My heart raced and became frenzied as I remembered what I didst night. I scanned around the room and stared at the locker, wardrobes and his deodorant safe only to find it sweetly arranged. I felt the side of my bed cold and discovered that he didnt sleep there. I bit my lips and stared back at him before averting my gaze. This is the first time Ive been close to him after a very long while. Good morning. I foolishly greeted. Theres nothing good about the morning when you clearly turned my room into a battlefield. At Least it got you talking. He chuckled and dropped hisptop trying to avert his gaze. Did you miss me that much to pick out my most expensive attire to wear? His eyes scanned through my body and I felt heat rushing through my skin. His t stomach with those abs were driving me insane and his perfect chest were solickable. I felt like running my hands through them, Jeez!! Whats wrong with me? I just wanted to piss you off. Great!! mission aplished. Can you leave now? That word stabbed me. Why was he finding every way to avoid her? Did he find a new chick or was Mirabel making him feel that good that he would rather not be with me? If you want me to. I blurted out. I wanted to know if he wanted me to leave or if hes just saying that because he felt thats what I wanted. He bit those sinful lips hard and sighed staring at me. Do you want to know what I want? He asked huskily and I swallowed, that voice turned me on really bad that I literally cursed my body from reacting to this body. I want to feel irritated for liking this man despite what he has done to me, despite the harshness and cold shoulders. I want to quickly count my days and push him off my thoughts so I can disappear and have my life back but it was always the opposite. He makes me feel forbidden things I never thought I would have felt and how I yearn for his presence!! I dont mind him yelling but you see that voice of his, its like a therapy to my soul. Yes. I answer in quick breaths and stare at him. I want to ask you what youre doing to me. Huh.? I want to tell you ten times over to stop whatever things is it youre doing to me or I will cage you in this room and fuck you so sweety that all you will ever think of is my name dancing through that sexy mouth of yours. Fuuuuckkk!!!! I didnt hear that right? Fuck Fanuel!! My legs are on fire and I whimpered and mp them together. Why am I being sensitive now? I stare at him in shock and wonder what it would be like to run my hands through those abs and chest of his, I want to feel his hands touch me in the forbidden areas. To hell with my self respect right now but Fanuel is what I want right now on this bed with my hands digging on his back and his voice telling me ten times over how Im sexy. His stare was making matters worse for me, It was extremely dangerous.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Get out of here Christine before you make the worst mistake of your life!! My mind screamed. This man just want your body, thats all and youre here thinking he gives a fuck about you! He doesnt gives a fuck about anyone!! Kas voice hibernated through my head and echoed. I scrambled over the bed and wanted to run from these nasty feelings, maybe Im the only one feeling this way. I moved towards the door when I felt his grip on my hands and was pushed back forcely that made mend on hisps. Good Lord!! I felt him sniffing my hair as he wrapped his hands around my slender waist sighing with need and satisfaction before saying those words that made me lose self control. Stay please, Ive missed you too. My worst fear A DEAL WITH THE CEO By the time Edwardes back with the pancake, Im dead asleep on couch. I felt a tap on myp and I fluttered my eyes open to the aroma of pancake whooshing through my nostrils. You were tired after all, you slept off Told ya! Common, beat this, Ill grab a juice for you. Please stop being sweet, Im tired of swooning. I told him and he rolled his eyes. If little things like this make you swoon, Im doing this ten times over again. He grinned and went to juice while I munched on the snack. It was really niceEdward was actually good in the kitchen. I was about to take another bite when the door slid open and I looked up, expecting to see Laurel or Jay. Fanuel!! My heart jumped for joy at the sight of him. Why was he here? He was still dressed cooperatively in his suit though his first three buttons were ripped and his tie was slightly loose making it seems as if he was undressing in the car. Why did that seem so sexy in my ears as I imagined him doing that in my presence. He stared over at me and strides slowly towards me, not breaking eye contact with me. He sat very close to me and took the pancake from hand , took it to his mouth and ate it . very slowly still fixing his gaze at me and I felt momentarily hot. I stared at his moving pink lips as I wanted him to eat me that way too. Why was this man torturing me in this manner? Did you forget something? I forcefully found my voice and asked. Mmno. Why did youe back? I couldnt concentrate.. he said sincerely and looked around. Why? My voice quivered and my heart raced in anticipation of what hes about to say. He took the te from me and dropped it slowly on the side table before lookin at me. gosh.. Whats that look on his face? Christine He rolled out my name really slowly and nudged forward. I licked my lips and sighed, I cant do this anymore.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. This torturethis sweet feeling and his sexy stare is too much. I fucking want him, I want to quench this throbbing desire beneath anytime hees in contact. I pushed my breast closer to him to meet his body. Fuck Christine!! He cursed and mmed his hands on the chair. Our face was dangerously close as he brushed his nose with mine sending waves of sparks cursing through my entire body. What are you doing to me? He whispered through my nose and I bit my lipsso hard. Fanuel. I whispered his name with dire need, I just wanted him!! I dont fucking care about the consequences, I want him to quench thisthis toture. The cking of ss could be heard and I quickly whipped myself away from Fanuel. Edward. Ive totally forgotten that he was still here, gosh!! What if he had caught us in such a position? Yeah, what if? Hes my husband after all. Fanuel nced at the direction of the kitchen and stared back at me, still with needy eyes. Who? Edward. I replied but his eyes flickered to a non pleasing one immediately. He went back to his sitting position and sighed, taking off his jacket unbuttoning his shirt. Can he at least not do that in my sight? Edward came over and was shocked to see Fanuel seated beside me. Hey, whats upI thought you should be at the office. Im home. He simply said and collected the juice from him pouring it into the ss tumbler for himself. He took a sip and continued. I came home to rest. You could always rest in the office, why did youe home? I just needed a break. Edward wasnt convinced at all. Did Christine do something? He stared at me before focusing his attention on Fanuel. Yes. He said and it was my turn to look at him. Fanuel, we can go back to the office and discuss it. Poor Edward, hes scared Fanuel will lose himself and beat me up. No, she knows what she did. I know? Edward looked at me with a whats going on look and I shrugged. Did Mirabel piss you off that you want to vent it on her? Dont bring Mirabel into this right now, Im still trying to deal with her shit. What? She backed out of the n? What n? Why are they bringing her name up? Edward, I just read rest okay. You should take a break too, I will babysit my wife. Fanuel said and Edward rolled his eyes. Babysit? I blurted out and stressed them. Im not a baby and I dont need anyone to babysit me. Youre misunderstanding the concept Christineits no It is what it isIll babysit her so dont worry, shes a stubborn baby after all. Fanuel said and I red at him while Edward wasnt looking so pleased. Whats Mirabels n, i mean whats she doing in thepany? I asked curiously as I felt irritated that she had ess to Fanuel. Its nothing serious Christine, just some professional glitches that need to be sorted out Edward said and red at him knowing that was a tant lie. I needed to use her to save thepany Fanuel blurted out and Edward was shocked. Why? I asked. Her father is the president and through her, he can do anythingI mean anything to make thepany go global. He can go as far as lifting up that signed contract and coercing otherpanies to carry on their projects with mypany. I cringe at how lucky that bitch was. She was able to help Fanuel but I was useless, no wonder he looked calm these past months and alwaysing homete. For some reason, I felt bad and useless. Fanuel had every reason to like her. On what grounds, shes definitely not going to do all that for free. Of course, knowing Mirabel and her sassiness she would definitely ask for something in return and what she would ask scares me that my stomach churns into pain. I didnt know why I felt that way but Im beginning to get attached to this guy that I might eat anyone to pulp if anyone dares im him. Yeah!! I sound outright stupid but thats the case right now. I was allowed to im him until after the contract, right? Edward looked dazed and confused, I couldnt me him for reacting that way. Who would have thought Fanuel would open up easily to me about whatever he is up to, he would rather toss me in a heap of dirt than have this conversation. But I wasnt going to keep quiet either, I was ready to force him to tell me or find it out forcefullyI shouldnt be kept in the dark any longer. Youre right, Mirabel had an agreement with me. Im getting married to her. He dropped the bomb shell and I couldnt hide my shock. My worst fear was finally going to happen as I felt a sharp pain in the pit of my stomach. I can鈥檛 stay away from you A DEAL WITH THE CEO Fanuel. Staring at her expression, I knew she wasnt pleased. It was so obvious that she hated Mirabels gut but seeing her this way broke something in me. I just didnt want anything to affect her in any way. If I ever discover that I make her feel uneasy and ufortable, I would dly execute myself from her to make her smile. She has been sad for too long and I think its beyond my deal with her. Theres this deep sadness thats stamped in her eyes no matter how she tries to hide it. Ive fucked up when ite to caring for anybody especially her but she makes me want to care, she makes me was to see nothing but happiness gleaming on her face. I still suffer the guilt of hitting her, the pain in her eyes was my nightmare. I curse myself over and over again that staying away from her and giving her the space she needs wasnt enough. I wanted to just start everything over and let her go but I couldnt even bring myself to ept that she would leave. She blinded me with her beauty every passing day and seduced me without even knowing. She makes me wish for forbidden desires, I had buried deep rooted to the ground. It makes it worse for me when she reciprocates those feelings. Shes supposed to re at me and push me away, she was supposed to hate me and not give a damn but her reaction says otherwise.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Shes sensitive to my touch as hell and it drives me crazy sending sweet blood to my dick. I couldnt ignore these feelings anymore, call me selfish but I want her all to myself. Her naiveness and kind heart gets to me that I wonder what sort of creature she is? Right from the day she poured hot coffee on my skin, some in her shoes would rejoice or even wished to burn me to death but she went as far as looking for an ointment to heal my burns. She was stubborn too, no doubt but in a good way. I couldnt concentrate at work, not after feeling her soft body mashed on my own, not after inhaling her scent and wishing to hug her forever. I cant believe this was what I was missing all these months. Then the fact that Edward was with her made me lose all concentration as I thought he might see all those features and want to take advantage of her. My friend was a huge flirt but not with Christine. He cared for her immensely and red up at my nasty behavior with her. Right now, I just wanted to kiss her so bad and hear her tell me to give her more. Gosh!! When did I be so whipped? Mirabel is hell bent on moving over and its stressing me out. I said and her countenance was still the same. Ii. will be in my room. She said quietly and smiled at Edward before swaying her sexy hips to the direction of her room. Youre acting really weird. Edward said and I nodded. Exin weird You didnt have to tell her that!! And you cant let Mirabel move in, Christine is too fragile to handle her. I dont have a choice, I want to finish those projects and move to bn B but for now, I need to give her the motivation by epting her proposal. I know you dont give a damn about Christine but at least think about her feelings and worth as ady. Cant you wait until the so-called deal you had with her is over then you can foolishly unt that bitch in your house forever. You think I havent thought about that? He shook his head in disbelief and stood up. Imagine another guy moving in your house to also im Christine as her wife in your presence. Ill break his nose before he even steps in. Youre just selfish, you care about your ego and what you feel and not someone else. He said and I watched him leave the living room and I sighed dejectedly. I nced at the direction of Christines room and bit my lips. She wasnt asleep as I expected. Her face was nk and expressionless while she raised her body to stare at me, frowning. I entered slowly and her beautiful fragrance hit me. She was extremely neat despite the fact that I sent all the maids on leave. Her cosmetics and deodorants were arranged neatly on the big gold locker with a mirror that was stered hugely hugely. Her books were stacked neatly on the shelves close to the window and her shoes were beautifully arranged in order of color beside the wardrobe. I want to be alone. She blurted out not staring at me. Youre mad at me. Im not. Then why are you pissed off. Inothing, can you please just leave me for a momentI need to think and face reality I sat on the side of the bed and stared at her confused beautiful face. What reality? Youreality of you this close and nice all of a sudden and getting acquainted with my enemy soon. I cant seem to wrap it around my head. Christine.. Fanuel no.. please, stop making me feel this way. Im not ready to be abandoned and cut to shreds, let me exin what these silly fragments of what building up in me first. I think you should avoid me. She closed her eyes and turned her back at me, making me feel shattered. Why was she backing off? Her mere presence sets me on fire and the thought of not being with her often makes me want to puke in disgust. I cant. I blurted and she faced me with total shock. What do you mean? I cant stay away from you or avoid you, its more like an impossible mission. Why? She yelled with tears shining in her eyes. I dont fucking know okay. I yelled back and continued. All I know is that.. that I want to be with you every now and then. I want to hold you and apologize over and over again for treating you like trash. I want to see you happy and kill anyone that makes you sad. I fucking want you so bad Christine, you shouldnt have entered my room that day, you make it so hard to stay away from you. I dont know what this means but Im never letting you go I poured out my heart to her and she momentarily froze, staring and blinking her eyes in shock. Her mouth opened and closed and she sighed. Please stop ying around. Im not!! FanuelI You dont say anything, just dont push me away. I will never ever hurt you again, I promise. I told her and she sighed dejectedly not knowing what to say. My hands found her arm and I let her crush on my body, patting her back slowly. Nightmare to her A DEAL WITH THE CEO Third Pov Mirabel stacked her clothes into her Dior bag as she hummed in ecstasy. She looked over her shoes and picked ones that catches her fancy. She would be moving into Fanuels mansion soon and she couldnt be more d that her ns went well. She thanked Alex over and over bit that pervert still had sex with her as an appreciation. He had been unbelievably quiet since the signing incident but she knew Alex would never back down until he saw Fanuel on his knees. When Fanuel hade to her, she had one thought in mind. He was either here tosh out on her to make a request and of course, thetter was done with a tiny request to fulfill. Marrying him!! You should take it easy Mirabel, you might trip. Diana said in concern and she chuckled. Dont worry, none of that will happen darling. Of course, dont just forget to get me involved when you move in. Diana reminded her and she nodded. Mirabel wanted Diana around so she had promised to make sure she moved in with her. It would be almost impossible but she was going to taunt him about hispany to his face. The few times had been hard for Diana and she was always restricted from entering the mansion no matter how loud she sang as being Dianas friend. It was really weird as Diana almost thought that she had finally figured her out. She was really embittered that Mirabel was moving in but she had no choice at the moment than following her around until she carried out her ns with Fanuel, beside which Mirabel was paying her well. It was impossible not to be obsessed with a person with charisma and beauty. Dont you think, Alex is being cool headed. Diana asked . Do you miss him? Eww! Its just a question okay, beside youre the one whos being fucked. Mirabel threw her a sharp re. What do you mean by that? Common Mirabel, wasnt it obvious from the way you were screaming like a possessed maniac. Shhh. She cut her off and looked around. It was just a one time thing, besides I couldnt slip away from Alex. Of course!N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. Can you please dont bring him up again? Mirabel was embarrassed as she pleaded with Diana. She thought she was the only on who knew she was fucking around with Alex. Alex was beaten to pulp after Fanuel discovered the fake signature. Her constant informant had told her and she pricked with fear hoping he wouldnte to her with that same mindset. Thest p she received from him was still like a nightmare to her. She wondered why he always acted as if She was someone important when she was just a show that would soon fade. A knock on the door distracted them and someone came in. Cole, is Fanuel in the office? Mirabel asked in anticipation as she stared at him. No, he went to the house. She frowned. He had told her he was in the office when she called him this morning. Why? I dont know but I think he went to see his friend who was with his wife, Fanuel has other ns. Blood drained from Mirabel as she sat down in despair. You mean other ns to use and dump me? He nodded and Mirabel bit her lips in anger!! She wont let it happen! Fanuel wont use her fathers authority and power for nothing. He must marry her!! What about Christine? She asked him with a sneer while Diana stared at the both of them and watched her expression. Shes still indoors, I thinkI noticed my bosss unusual behavior? Which is? She red impatiently. I think he likes Christine, I cant say its concrete but he went mad when His friend suggested for another man to be Christines husband.. That wench!! Mirabel red and wondered what Christine was doing to Fanuel. Thanks Cole, I will wire the money in your ount right away. Just keep me updated. She said and he bowed and left. Cole had agreed to eavesdrop and drill information for Mirabel cause he felt if his boss gets married to the presidents daughter, the stakes of getting global with a huge financial pay and allowance would be high. He was defiant at first but the money that came with just an information news too good one ignored as long as no one was getting killed, he didnt mind. Mirabel was boling with rage and confusion, not because of the fact that he might change his ne but for the fact that he doesnt give a fuck about her after everything shes done to please him and cover his name. She couldnt say the same for Christine because it was impossible for him to like a low ss with no benefit like her. She liked Fanuel a lot and was going to do all it took for him to notice her efforts. Diana was concerned about entering the house and doing the first instinct as fast as she could. She didnt know how but she knew that getting pregnant for Fanuel was like a gate way of remaining glued to the Hudsons. She missed him. His lips were like honey as she remembered how she had forcefully kissed him in the car. The p she received was nothingpared to the way her body felt for him. She sees how Christine parades herself around in his room whenever she visits and she is damn jealous at the fact she gets to see him everyday or even touch him. Mirabel or Christine, she doesnt give a damn, she is going to try to make Fanuel hers. Though she seemed alone in this n of hers, she was going to try. Mirabel carried her phone and called Fanuel. After the first ring, it was sent to voicemail. The next time she called, the phone was switched off. If I find out Christine is the reason why Fanuel left the office and ignore my calls.. I will beat her to pulp when I reach the mansion. Mirabel said and stared at Diana. Will you do something for me? She asked Diana who nodded in anticipation. When we get to the mansion, I want you to drug her with Viagra. Diana gasped. Whwhy? Mirabel smirked as smile stretched her lips. I want a random guy to fuck her senselessly while I send the tape to Fanuel. He would never look at her the same way again. Diana thought hard and nodded, it wasnt a bad idea. Using a sex booster on Christine would favor Mirabel into thinking that Fanuel might detest her but using it on Fanuel would make him wild with pleasure. She smirked as a wild thought filled her head, she must definitely be there to fill up that pleasure to the brim. Fully ripe A DEAL WITH THE CEO Christine. I was in the midst of these old horny men, drinking and pping their tongue mannerlessly as they stared lustfully at me making me want to puke in disgust. You never told me shes this hot. One of them said and grinned widely while the other agreed and smirked. She has to be fully ripe before showing her outside, but shes all yours now. Webb said making me quiver in fear. What did he mean by that? I saw them draft out a cheque note and penned down some words on the cheque and stretched it to Webb whose grin widened as he stared at the contents of the cheque. Ill be waiting at the parking lot, just hit a call and Ille over. He said and they convinced him to stay over for a few drinks but he declined. Dread and fear clouded my entire being as I was being dragged to a dark room and the three of them smacked their lips eagerly while one of them started to unbutton their shirts and pants. PleaseI whimpered, a resounding p sent me crashing on the bed. I saw my worst nightmare happening again before my very eyes. I struggled until I struggled no more. Christine? They called my name and shook but I was long dead, I was drenched in a dilemma I dont want to wake up from. Fuck you all!! I yelled in utter pain and despair. A strong hand helped me and I struggled to get such hands off my body, kicking my feets to hit such a douchebag after ripping me off. Christine! The stupid voice was louder but I would have anyone deceive me, I want to leave here.. I want to run far away from Webb and everyone else to find solitude for once. Christine!! My eyes snapped open. The room was dark with that familiar sweet smell as panic washed through me. A huge pair of hands pped my mouth and almost yelled. Christineplease, its okay. Its me. Fanuel? I felt his hands wrapped around my waist and nudged me closer. I broke down in uncontroble tears. Fanuel cursed and tensed over me until he flipped me over so he could hug me, nudging and coaxing me to take calm breaths. My life was a mess because of Webb no matter how I try to fight or dismiss it.Owned by N?velDrama.Org. I cling unto Webb and hup and give a huge breath with his soothing hands telling me its okay. Shhthats okay baby He kissed my hair and continued coaxing me until I fell asleep, gradually drafting me into darkness. ***** The sun rays sshed beautifully in the room where I gave a loud mannerless yawn. I sat up to meet the most gorgeous pair of icy blue eyes staring intently at me with hisptop on his side. I looked around to be sure this was my room and signed. It was my room, so why was he here this morning? Beautiful morning. He said not to break eye contact with me and I felt so ufortable. He should stop trying his best to look more beautiful when hes already dazzling with those eyes. I murmured good morning to him and gave a tight smile. Are you feeling okay now? He asked as worryced his face making me confused. Yeah, Im good. Want to talk about it? I had to check up on you cause I felt I heard your voice He asked with that calm voice and before I could frown and get confused everything came rushing in a ssh. I facepalm myself in embarrassment and remembered how I clung to him like the only pir of my life. I nodded disapprovingly and faced the other side avoiding his gaze. No, Im not ready to spoil my mood this early. He gave a sigh and nodded. Just stop taking those pills, their side effects are damaging. He said and I gasped. How the heck does he know that I used pills, did he rummage through my wardrobe? Its just multivitamins I blurted out and he sighed, not agreeing with me. Christine, Temazepam, triazm, zolpidem and the rest of what you have there are not multivitaminsthose are sleeping pills. He caught me! I. Im not going to force you to tell me what Webb did to you to make you this way, but harboring a pain alone to make you have nightmares wont do your health any good, its going to escte and destroy you.His voice breaks. And I dont want that to happen to you. My Dad did nothing wrong, its justa nightmare. Youre not a good liar Christine, just stop taking those pills. He said and stood up making way for the door. Fanuel.. I called and he turned. Thank youfor.. uhmst night, you know. He smiled at my stuttering and nodded before opening the door and mming it behind. I gave a huge sigh and fell head back to the pillow. I cant believe he came aroundst night, how much stress did I have to put him through? I stood up and headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth and have a quick shower. I threw my nightie in the washer and headed towards my wardrobe to fetch clean shorts and a body hugging white top which visibly showed my curvy breasts. I sat before the mirror to arrange my hair and apply a very light makeup. Fanuel was too good looking to appear like a clown before him. I walked through the living room and a nice aroma of toast bread waft through my nose. I dragged my legs to the kitchen to find him making coffee. You did this? I almost choked out in surprise grinning at the yummy toasts on the ceramic te and he grinned. Wanna taste? He brought out a chair forward not even waiting for my permission and I sat. He pushed the coffee forward and watched me take a bite. Hows it? Really good. I moaned and confessed not having time to tease him. I took in more bites and sipped the coffee. Mehn!! I spat it out in shock, not being able to even hide it. Panic washed through him and he fidgeted nervously before me. I thought it was good. He blurted out and I gave a sarcastic nod. Of course, its the best Ive ever tasted in this century. Sorry, Ill make ano Dont bother Fanuel, Ill take the juice or water before you kill me with extreme bitterness. Oh!! It was bitter? Yeah, did you add the creamer? No, guess I had no idea how to make that one. Ill browse itter. Dont bother, Ill show you how to do it now. Would you detest your helper? Christine. After he left for work, I felt this sudden emptiness and loneliness overwhelmed me. There was this sweet humorous side of him that I got to see anytime we stayed close. He spilled and poured the coffee ten times over until he got it right, giving me a taste of it and I nodded in satisfaction. He had to take care of some important things alone and I totally pushed him off to work even though my heart and body wanted him to stay. Is that a smile on your face or am I seeing things wrongly? Laurels sweet face appeared from nowhere and I grinned at her giving her a bear hug. Ive totally missed her. Youre seeing things wrongly girl. I dont think so, youre actually glowing, whats the secret? The secret is Im trying to be happy, is that a bad thing now Laurel? Of course not, its better than cursing and yelling at me that Fanuel is an ass as if I made him that way. I chuckled at my friend as she mimicked me. We both made our way to the room and she jumped on the bed grinning. Wheres your husband? Hes off to work. Hey!! I see that smile right there. Laurel please. stop teasing, its contagious. No bitch, whats contagious is you blushing anytime I mention the word Husband you should be sneering as usual. I sigh in frustration and facepalm myself. Hows Jayden? It was her turn to blush silly. Hes sexy. I rolled my eyes at her. I didnt ask you to describe him as a dummy. But thats how he is, dummy, you know what? Im heading over to the kitchen to grab something for us to eat.. She paused and stared at me with a sorry face. I have something important to tell you. Okay, but Im not hungry. I already had something. That fast? Were you starving throughout the night that you couldnt even wait till 8:00 Fanuel made it. I blurted out and p myself after realizing I just sold myself out. Holy fuck!! It was a mistake right? Laurel screamed Im disbelief and came closer to me holding my shoulders. Are you for real right now or is this one of your sarcastic tales? Its one of my sarcastic tale, forget I ever said that okay? Oh my jeez!! Christine, he actually made you breakfast!! Please pinch me for sure. I pinched her hard and she winced. That was hard. The loud rm door bell could be heard and we both whipped our attention to the noise. Dont tell me he misses you already, I just want alone time with my friend I smiled in anticipation as I hoped it was Fanuel but my smile faded immediately. Fanuel would never ring the doorbell!Owned by N?velDrama.Org. We both walked to therge exquisite living room at once, while moving to the door and punched in the password before it slid open making me choke in disgust at the person standing before the door. My stomach rumbled at her sight and I wanted to m the door back to her face. Mirabel. She pushed me aside and walked majestically inside dragging her beautiful pink box and gasping at the interior decor and SkyView roof. She took off her sunsses and twirl around in sheer happiness. My baby has a huge taste in everything. I rolled my eyes hard and felt my throat burning. I want to drag her hair out alongside her box and beat her to pulp. Hey bitch face, its so devastating to see you! The pleasure is all mine. I said sarcastically and my voice was surprisingly calm. I wasposed though my heart was stabbed. I had expected this but I never thought that it would be so soon. Im going to be officially married to Fanuel soon so why not do the pleasure of kicking yourself out. Your useless tenure is over. Laurel looked pissed and wanted to talk back at her but I waved my hand off to stop her. The least thing I want to do right now is talking back and causing a fight because of Fanuel. Im the official marrieddy here in case youve forgotten, until then shove your words down your throat and respect yourself Youre just as useless as your words. She says, throwing a spiteful re at me and looking around with her fingers. I wouldnt deny the fact that she was beautiful, with a tall slender body and curvy hips. She was wearing a knee length sequin gown with an off shoulder cut that showed out her creamy skin. She was ssy and glowing and totally Fanuels type. I felt so bad that I wanted to cry, this shouldnt be happening to me. I should be happy that I would soon be free from this charade called marriage but I feel awful. I would take that room. She blurted out and moved towards my room. Dont you dare!! Thats mine. Nothings yours in this mansion riff raff, youre nothing but a poor stench upying space and filling up a title.. Are you done? I asked, not getting affected by her words. I shouldnt talk much until Fanuel is back!! Then you will see who wields more authority. She mmed at me and I ignored her, there was no time to argue. Im already too weak to banter words with her. Thats Fanuels room Christine! Laurel gasped but I nodded. Let her be, except she knows the password to his door. We watched her punch the pass keys and the door clicked open. Of course, shes going to have ess since he was her ex. I fight back the tears that threaten to sheen my eyes and look for water to drink. The only thing that kept echoing in my head was how useless I am and how I cant do anything to help Fanuel and hispany. How my dad robbed him and ced him in a dilemma. Mirabels perfect for him and there was no lie in that. I just felt so bad, so angry that she was going to be all over Fanuel when I was getting attached to him. I went to my room and Laurel followed suit. What the hell? Its Mirabel, the presidents daughter, not hell. I know that quite right, why is she here? To marry Fanuel, happy now? Christine, can you just stop and tell me what is happening? I sighed at my friends curiosity and exined everything in detail to her. This is not sounding good Christine, Fanuel detest her. Would you detest your helper? Thats not what I mean but Mirabel staying here wont make any changes if Fanuel already likes you. What did you want to tell me? I ask boredly, already tired of her attempt tofort me. The deed is done, Mirabels there and theres no going back. Its about Diana. I stare at her in confusion. You like her Fanuel. I was flipping through the files and watching the ongoing project at the president underground house through the projector screen I paid less concentration on the screen and focused more on the files so that I could get through it at once. Christines image ofst night was still stamped on my head but I tried to shake it off and concentrate. As for Alex whos gone into hiding to plot his next step, let him bring it on. I will crush his stupid ns before his very face and that of his stupid father. I wasnt surprised when I discovered from them that Oak bay belonged to Mr Malcolm. He has five otherpanies under someone elses name and I wonder what he gains by hiding from the world. Of course, its to keep his name clean incase of any crisis. Silly, silly, people. I called my secretary to appear in the office, which she did in a sh. Good day Boss. She said and bowed politely while I gave her the files that wereid on the table. Thats the previous contract that got declined because of my wifes signature. I want you to work on that. Okay. Get me the fingerprints of all that touched this field and if it ever left this premises. Theres a little stamp on the file which is almost like a chip, it will be much easier to use and locate everything. Okay boss, how long do you need it? Take your time, I need it in a weeks time and this should be kept discreet. Nobody else must know about what I just sent you I told her and she bowed and left with the file. Shes the only one left to trust since my guts kept telling me that something was off and my guys said the same thing. She never unts her ass or boobs on my face as others and dressed very moderately with utmost professionalism. Others were good but I just wasntfortable with the ICT team. They could rant about it and spoil things for me. I stared at myptop when the telephone chimed and I picked it up. You have a visitor Boss but without a scheduled appointment. I heard from the other end and sighed. I wasnt ready to entertain anybody today. Whos it? Ka Anderson. My eyes flickered with surprise. Let her in. The automatic ss suddenly slid open and she walked in taking careful steps with her heels. She was dressed in a tight cotton fabric gown that entuated her figures and her hourss face radiated in the bright office. She sat on the chair adjacent to the other and she twirled it while staring at me. Youck manners Ka. I blurted out and she rolled her eyes. I threw it at the gate, I will be picking it when Im done here. I chuckled at typical Ka. So, did she do it? I asked anxiously and she nodded, making my heart shatter and eagerly smiling and bringing out a file. She couldnt even wait for me tond, She would have broken my nose alongside my teeth. What do you mean? She literally waved me off Fanuel!! Jeez! I was scared. I thought she agreed. You need to see how she calmly calls me names letting me know how irresponsible I am forundering in someones wealth and calling karma to whip me, mehn! Where did you get her from? I love her already. I grinned. So whats it with this trash? Its for your signature, never to send me such a suicidal mission of persuading Christine. Iughed out and smirked. Christine passed the test even without knowing. That wasnt even my aim. I wanted to be convinced that she had nothing to do with the signature peradventure open up about the faces of those she saw while signing. Ka was my youngest cousin and adored like my favorite kid sister. After ire is Ka and I love them to bits the same way they loved me. Her Dad was an investor in mypany but she happened to take over since her dad was out of the country. I had to strike a deal with her to persuade Christine into doing something cumbersome to get benefit and forcing words out of her lips but I was proved wrong!! That girl had the heart of an angel and I couldnt be more whipped than this. Oh my God? You like her She gasped in surprise. I didnt say that. You dont have to, its evident youre into her just by mere mentioning her name. You think so. I know so, finally! She eximed and nodded her head as if in awe. Its been ages since you met someone you like after Crystal! That bitch was totally screwing you over. Ka!! Try me Fanuel! You were just so whipped by her that you shut your eyes and ears to the fact she was fucking Alex. She liked Alex, not you!! I felt anger rise up at the bile of my throat as I red dangerously at her. Can you please atleast have a single respect for the dead. Oh Yeah, Father Lord Jesusmay her fucking soul rest in peace She did a sigh of the cross sarcastically and rolled her eyes before standing up. Alex killed that girl, not you. Since youre that whipped by her, why not sit and watch another cute guy take ChristineI bet that would be cool. Get the fuck out Ka! I practically yelled at her and she blew me a kiss before leaving. Thats it with Ka, we always end up with a fight and start with teasing ourselves. Shes been learning these vulgar words and bitchy attitudes from iretely. Jeez, ire shouldnte around. Shes worse. ire would Rip apart with words and still act so calm. She talks shamelessly and ask you to fuck your mother in hell. I walked till evening until I was famished, missing Christine silly. I took my jacket and threw it, taking my car keys on the table before dashing out of thepany. Im home after a few drives and dodging traffic. The lights were off and I frowned knowing how Christine hates darkness. I flicked it on and found no one in the first floor living room. I traced my steps slowly and went to her room punching the pass digits and quietly opening it. She was fast asleep. Shey on the bedying on her back with her sexy legs sprawled carelessly on the bed and her cute round derriere poking up dangerously. I sighed in desperation and moved to cover her with the nket. I dont need that Her voice startled me.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. You were awake Silence Uhm. I was lost at words staring at her beautiful face which werent happy. Are you okay? What makes you think Im not. Nothing reallyI just, you dont look fine to me Itste Fanuel, I think you should go to sleep and interact with useful persons that favor you. Goodnight. Was she dismissing me? What the heck does she mean by interacting with a useful person? I sighed nervously and bit my lips exiting her room slowly. I reached for mine but noticed it was unlocked. Did Christinee here today? I opened the door and torrents of anger washes through me at the sight of the person on my bed, totally getting Christines words in a rush. Audacity Fanuels Pov cont. I bawled my fingers tightly into a fist and stared at her figure with disgust. No wonder my wifes mood was sour, for a moment in my life, I regret getting acquainted with Mirabel. I wished there was another way to save thepany, she would have been thest choice. Baby. She rolled over and stared at me, smiling sheepishly. Why are you here? Gosh!! Im so mad right now that she came here without permission. Who gave her the audacity! I figured out that I would soon be your W.. Figured what? Did you inform me?N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. What if one of the press members or media saw you here and ssh it all over the? It wouldnt be bad babe, why are you getting worked up over something weve agreed on? I never agreed on youing to the house. I practically yell at her. I was going toe anywayas your wife! Until then, you shouldnt havee. I still have a wife for crying out loud. Oh please spare me that Fanuel, its high time you threw her away for being useless. I will pay what her father stole from you. Its okay, Ill just send my ountant to do the needful at your office today. Juste to me. She said and tried as much as possible to be sweet. Paying what Webb owed me came as a surprise for me! Paying Billions? Just to be with me? How far can this girl go for me when I dont give a fuck about her? I sighed and tucked her hair by the sides of her ear. Mirabel I cocked my head and rolled my eyes when she literally closed her eyes. Dont you think youre going too far for me? Ill do anything for Fanuel, I love you so much. Youre wasting your time Mirabel, youre beautiful and young with all the resources one could even seek in life. Do something meaningful and get a man that will love and cherish you. Fanuel, Ill fight to have you. Im getting married to you because of an agreement to save mypany. Ive never loved you from onset, especially after countlessly fucking my enemy and still lied to my face! I didnt sleep with Alex!! I smiled and cupped her cheeks. I know, you didnt have to mention his name. Even after we get married, I will never love you Mirabel. Just try to understand that. Its useless staying here after all, leave first thing tomorrow morning. Never! She yelled at the top of her lungs and I shook my head. I took off my shirt and trousers to take a quick shower while she shamelessly stared at my body lustfully. I hissed in disgust and opened the door to the restroom and let the water cascade all over my body. I came out and fetched my pajamas to wear while I took my pillow to get out of the room. She can stay there for all I care. Where are you going Fanuel, dont tell me youre going to sleep with that bitch!! She yelled and I rushed back to hold her neck tightly. Call her bitch again and I will choke life out of you right away. She choked and coughed while I released my grip and pushed her off . I went to the guest room and slept off, getting pissed at everything. ***** I cracked my fingers and neck, yawning and stretching my legs to infinity. It was dawn and I called my secretary to take care of my schedule as I wont be going to work. Mirabel and Christine staying together isnt a good idea at all. I dragged my leg to the room but halted on track as I saw a somewhat familiar face. I walked closer to Mirabel to have a good look at this girl. Diana! Ive totally forgotten about this suspicious girl! Whats she doing here? I asked Mirabel not to break my eyes off Diana who shamelessly stared at me from head to toe. Shes working for me, my personal assistant. I dont give a trash about that, why is she here? Iuhm came to see Christine, Im just surprised my boss is here. She stuttered innocently. Christine is still sleeping, you can leave now. Youre been harsh, Fanuel! She stays. Mirabel yelled and I scoffed before staring at Christines room entrance. I wonder how she is as I leave those two, something tells me they were up to no good. Whats stopping me from throwing Mirabel out is her Father. Shes a world wide figure and my name andpany will be tainted, I must look for something huge to make her leave willingly. Christine was all sprawled on the bed and she looked up at once before throwing her head back. Her eyes were baggy and puffy and it only meant one thing. She didnt sleep throughoutst night. Nightmares? I asked and she nodded, feeling embarrassed. You threw my pills? She asked slightly disappointed and I twitched my lips and nodded. Yeah, I dont want you to live on drugs Christine. You can try to sleepwithout that. On what grounds? Why will you throw my pills away when I didnt ask you to? As your husband. Happy now? Go take a shower and prepare for breakfast. I dont want to, Im not hungry. Its not a suggestion, its an order Christine. She sighed frustratingly and bit her lips. Stop doing that she raised an amused stare and climbed off the bed, going to the mirror while I watched her behind and getting all turned on as it jiggled. Fuck!! Im definitely not myself when I stay close to this girl. I stood up to head for the kitchen when she held my hand. Is Mirabel staying in your room? She asked, biting her lips as if she asked a stupid question? I wrapped my hands on her slender waist and pushed her closer to my body. Do you want her to stay there? She swallowed and stared nkly, blinking her puppy eyes at me. My shirt is still in there and I dont want her to use it. I dont want her togosh! Im so stupid right now She said and gave palms herself nodding her head in disbelief. Forget I asked. she blurted out. If you dont want Mirabel around, just say the word. I inhaled the crook of her neck and she sighed. Its how I cant hold back myself from holding her anytime were this close. Say the fucking word and Ill make it happen. for you. I whispered in her ears and she shivered. While I draw invisible circles on her shoulders. I want She sighed and stopped before looking up at me to tell me the words that threw me off guard. Betrayed and abadoned. A DEAL WITH THE CEO Christine. I ate the spaghetti slowly and stared off into space. I couldnt describe how I was feeling right now, especially not telling Fanuel that. I feel like a whirl pack of shit with guilt eating me up like lunch. Hes been trying his best to please me and be sweet but Ive been behaving like a confused asshole. He confessed his feelings for me and I still find it so hard to believe. One thing I know is that Im badly attracted to him and he sets my body on fire. I told him to fuck off from my life and face his new wife. Stating my remaining days of the contract and warning him not to try to take advantage of me. He bought that and shock and sadness overwhelmed him. He couldnt hide it but apologized and left. But right now, I want to reverse what I said. I want to tell him to kick Mirabel and Daina out and touch me everywhere, I badly wanted him to make me moan his name as he wanted but the embarrassment of uttering such words overpowered me. Maybe if I used a little bit of cuss and harsh words, it would make me regain my sanity and know my ce but Im feeling like a whole pack of shit. I smiled bitterly as I saw Diana with all the pretense still lingering on her face, iming to work with Mirabel. She had stolen Fanuels ne to frame me and was a prime suspect to the chandelier thing. Now shes flirting around with Mirabel. Laurel had asked me to keep my cool and flow along with her so I could know her next step. I felt Terrible that my childhood friend would do this to me for something that has no meaning. I was dazed and hurt, betrayed and abandoned. I had been at ease until Mirabel arrived here, everything became nauseating to me as I felt that she might have used them. But what if she ends up marrying Fanuel? That thought alone dreads me! I will never share my husband with anyone even though Im at loggerheads with him. I cant deny the fact that Im jealous of Mirabel. She was born with a silver spoon and a spoilt brat to be precise, but she gave Fanuel a lending hand. No matter how much I try to hide it, I feel a sense of security around Fanuel. I could sleep deeply in darkness as long as hes with me and the way he stared at me makes me feel special. I get confused at how things get twisted in a blink. I know he had hurt me countlessly but I couldnt bear to even hurt him for a second. Even when Ka had suggested that I steal from him or im thepany, many in my shoes would jump at such an opportunity but imagining the hurt and sad look on his face is so much that I shove it away. I might even meet myself in apromise situation if I get caught or if I cant buy my way out. I hurt him this morning and lost my appetite. I reached for the juice beside my meal and drank everything. Pouring more and more as if it was going to erase my guilt and confusion. I gulped everything at once and sighed, reaching for my phone and drafting a simple text to him. Yeah! I didnt mean any of that. I went to keep my dishes and the mansion was unbelievably quiet. No noises and Mirabel and Diana seemed to have disappeared. I washed the dishes and felt a tingling sensation on my skin as I washed. I rinsed the te quickly and frowned. I rubbed my palms together and it felt sweet. Every step I made with the brushing of my skin sent sweet sparks of sweetness down my spine. Whats happening to me? The doorbell distracted me and I walked over to open it when Alexs face stared right at me. I wanted to m the door back but he smiled at me and brushed my skin which made me shiver. Hi cupcake. He said huskily that my stomach flipped with butterflies. Alex. I gasped not being able to find my voice and he came dangerously close to me while I wished he touched me again. I pinched my skin to feel my skin but I moaned out instead. No!! I screamed in frustration. What the hell is wrong with me? Ive never felt this way even with Fanuel. You shouldnt be here I tried to be firm but his grip on my arm made me sighed with pleasure. He was so damn beautiful and sexy that I almost think that he borrowed his features from Fanuel. While he was all littered with piercings and tattoos, Fanuel was clean, smart, cute and sexy. His cologne hit me hard and I sighed. You need to rx Christine. Are you feeling hot? He whispered in my ear and almost moaned at how his lips brush my ears. I was on fire. Damn!! Im fucking hard already babe!! He blurted and I felt my underwear damped with sweetness. This is not right, I dont want this but my body is doing crazy things. I felt tears trickling down my face, praying for a miracle to happen. I walk away from him and reach for the fridge to pick a cold bottled water. I opened the cap and poured all the contents down to my mouth, sshing some on my face also. It seems Alex was impatient as he came and hugged me from behind. Tracing his hands from my thighs up to my abdomen, going up to my breasts before giving it a hard squeeze. I cried in pleasure and leaned into him, wanting more of that sweetness. You want me huh? He asked hoarsely, pressing his hardness to me and I snapped my eyes open pushing him off me.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. What did you do to me? I yelled and cried, warning him not toe any closer but my body burned with need. I want him, I fucking want him as my body shook badly at his stare. I moved backwards slowly trying to get a hold on my phone as he smirked. You missed me, thats all. Fanuel has starved you up too much and its not fair. Ill be slow hun, its going to be okayyou will. Stop!!! I screamed when I saw him taking off his shirts and revealing those delicious biceps. I swallowed hard as I couldnt fight my body. I want to kiss Alex so bad and grind myself on his awesome body. Without warning I took my phone and opened it, dialing Fanuels number shakily. Alex was near me in a sh as he threw my phone harshly making it smash Into pieces. He pped my butt and I whimpered in pleasure telling me how stubborn I am. And kissed me silly. Mehn!! I kissed him back and tears flowed. I wanted more of him as I pushed myself deeper into him, he growled in pleasure and carried me up to the room when the door bounces open. Waves of orgasms A DEAL WITH THE CEO Christine. The door opened and I whipped my head slowly am staring at the cute figure at the front entrance who was heaving in pure shock and anger. Fanuel. My heart almost cried with joy and I felt Alex so tense as he cursed badly mentioning Mirabels name. Ill rather have Fanuel touch me than this scum bag carrying me. My husband looked like he wanted to rip someones heart open as he took graceful steps towards us. Alex cursed loudly still not while holding his firm grip on me. You should put her down, dont you think so? Fanuels voice was gone, I couldnt recognise this cold and deadly voice. Must you pop up from nowhere and be a show stealer? Alex sarcastically asked and dropped me down making me crouched on the cold tiles with my body aching with dire need. I sped my thighs together to quench the throbbing need down there but Good Lord!! It intensified. Fanuels fist connected with Alexs jaw the moment he turned to face him. What did you do to her? He yelled at him and Alex smirked, with blood oozing out of his lips. She needed me Alex, your wifes starved. Youre so pathetic an impotent Alex blurted out but its as if he just released a dangerous Venom as Fanuel vibrated in anger. His eyes darted around as if to look for something , without warning he carried the coffee table by the side of the couch and smashed it on Alex who groaned. She. wanted. to. fuck. meso.. damn.. bad. Alex kept on taunting him while Fanuel was like a wild animal looking for anything to use on him not caring if he dies this minute. I was scared as this was getting really serious. He came closer to Alex and punched him non stop ring in anger and pain. He darted his eyes around and found a wine bottle on the wine stand and smiled. No way! Fanuel was going to kill Alex if he wasnt stopped. I tried to call him but his seeing sense was long dead as he reached for the bottle. He was definitely going to use that on Alexs head. Without warning he took it and reached out to Alex when I suddenly stood up and reached out to hug him from behind, moaning at the contact and pleading. Please Fanuel, you will. kill him. Please leave him alone, I need you Fanuel. I said so calmly and huskily, he turned and stared at me, his hard face and eyes getting soft all of a sudden and my body crying with need with just that stare. I wrapped my hands around him and tiptoed to meet his lips. I crashed my lips on him. with so much intensity and hunger while he was taken aback with shock. Please.I pleaded and kissed him back but he cursed inwardly and broke off from the kiss staring at Alex was badly injured from the beating. He retrieved his phone from his pocket and dialed a number. Cole,e over right now with the other guys and throw Alex out of my mansion. If he resists, beat him to pulpyes, which car? I said throw him out on the streets or in the carbage dump. I dont want to see anyone else even if Edwardes around. good. He said and cut the call staring at Alex before turning to stare at me and carried me up on a bridal style and went straight to his room. The sweet fragrance of his nose hit me and I sighted Mirabels box by the side of his wardrobe. I cared less about that right now as I just wanted him to kill this need. He dropped me on the bed and stood up when I dragged him back. Please Fanuel I beg shamelessly tugging at his shirt. I need you. His eyes wore a grave and needy expression that he closed his eyes as if not believing what I said. I reached out for those sweet lips again but he held my hands. Christinehis voice cracked so huskily. I canfuckwho. did this to you? He said almost in pain and confusion. I can get you medicine to calm you down, can you just hold a sec? I red up and tears trickled. down my face hotly. What stupid medicine? When hes the medicine staring at me. Do you detest me that much? Am I not attractive enough that you cant even kiss me?!! Shit!! Christine is not that, please believe me. I just dont wa Please FanuelI dont care right now, just hold me, touch memake love to me now!! God! Im so shameless! Christine please. I want you so bad that my whole body aches, I cant take advantage of your state right nowI cant let you hate me for this. Damn the consequences, I will think about it right now. I was burning. I didnt say a word but grabbed his neck to kiss him silly Like he was the only thing that matters in this world. I begged beneath his lips and he groaned. Kiss me hubby And he loses it, he curses so badly and meets lips in a hot fire and frenzy that makes me whimper and shake. My husband kissed me. Hard. Sparks and waves of tingling sensation were swimming all over my body, my core wet with need. I was naive in kissing as I just followed his lips in sync and grabbed onto his shirt tightly and dived my tongue deeper into the hot mouth. I wanted more, I wanted him to kiss the whole of my soul, this burning desire. His lips found its way to my neck and he sucked deeply making me moan out his name and he went crazy. Fuck!! Christine. shit! He kept repeating in cuss breaths while I pushed myself upwards to melt into him. I wanted him to consume that being inside his body isnt enough. We break the kiss and gasped for breath, his lustful stare making me go crazy. He kissed my eyes, my nose and neck slowly but I dragged him and flipped over in such a way I was straddling him. I tug on his shirt as I badly want to run my hands on his delicious chest, as if sensing my need he raises his hands up to meet my lips heavily and rips of his shirt not breaking the kiss. His hands found its way to my ass and he squeezed hard making me cry in pleasure and grinding my hips on his hard member. I was dying, grinding harder and harder and biting my lips. Oh Christine! Fuck this!! I love you. He confessed and he pressed me hard to his hard dick and kissed my shoulders. His eyes free to my jiggling beast and he pinched my hardened nipple making me cry out. Touch me please. I beg shamelessly and he listened to my plea and cupped my curvy breast through the fabric of my dress kissing it tenderly. He was so hard that I thought his stuff was going to break with the amount of pressure was putting on. I needed more, this wasnt quenching me enough rather it was worse. Fanuel sensed my frustration and made mey on my back. His hands traced on my delicate thighs up to my sex. Fuck babe!! Youre so wet. His sexy hoarse voice rang through my ears and I Just wanted him to touch me there. His fingers slid through my panties and i shook with spasms of pleasure and closed my eyes. Let me see you please, Look at me love. He said while pushing his fingers through and sliding in out Fanuel! I screamed and stared at him looking as his eyes dted darkly with pleasure as needed. This was so eroticgosh! You want me to go faster love? Fuck yes!! I screamed and he Slid two fingers in my sex and went faster. Going and up and down in frenzy and he cursed. Oh Fanuel!! Please. st.. I want. Damn Christine!! Youre so sexy right now.! He growled, not even helping matters as I shuddered in waves and waves of orgasms.Owned by N?velDrama.Org. It doesn鈥檛 feel right A DEAL WITH THE CEO Fanuel. I was going literally crazy right now as I stared at Christine writhing under me with pleasure. I wondered what would have happened if I hadnt arrived earlier, gosh!! That son of an uncircumcised dick could have had his way with her. That thought alone broke me, I wanted to scream and go crazy and kill all of them. Why were they after her so much that had to go to the extent of drugging her. This was a sex booster reaction and its so impossible to quench such taste and feeling once its in your body. I imagined Alex staring at her body and touching her and I squeezed the sheets tightly balling my fingers in a fist. That douchebag!! Im nowhere done with him. He totally messed with the wrong person this time around and I will lead him to his grave once Im done keeping things in check. The President had called me for some bullshit impromptu meeting and I had to leave immediately thinking that it might be important. Matters rting to Mirabels dad were crucial for me and mypany and I didnt have to mess it up. I reached the vi but the old man was spewing nonsense about politics and other countries. How is that any of my fucking Business? What has South Korea and Northern Koreas conflict has to do with mypany and its presence? I listened boredly and nonchntly, looking anywhere but at him. I couldnt even control any meaningful words because it was full of shit. My phone chimed and Christines name appeared leaving a message. My heart palpitated anxiously, not wanting to read it. She was so mad at me when I left, I thought. I promised to give her space and all the time she needs. It wont be easy for her to just flow along with me in a twinkle. Ive hurt that girl so much that I deserve whatever harsh words and treatment. But the fear of not being close to her or leaving her was so great. I want to take care of her and spoil her to bits. She had the heart of gold and didnt deserve whatever she faced. I unlocked my phone. I couldnt wait any longer out of curiosity and suspense. I didnt mean what I said. Just that. A short but powerful message that was enough to break my resolve. Her call came through and unexcused myself using the restroom as an excuse. Christine? I called but I heard her whimpering voice and the next thing was nk. I tried calling again but it was unavable. It doesnt seem right, something was wrong and I need to check it out to be at ease. My mind was already in torrents and the president tried to persuade me to stay to discuss a promotional magazine for mypany. To hell with that right now and I dashed out of the vi and moved straight to my car. Mirabel blocked my path. Are you stalking me? I asked and she denied iming, she came over to see her dad and she coincidentally met me. That bitch!! She had nned all this to keep me distracted from going to the mansion after drugging Christine. Seeing Alex there exined everything and I could have injured his brains if not for Christine. I needed to make her calm but there was only one way. Damn!! A horny Christine is sight and mind-blowing. It was taking Every ounce of my body not to lose control and m myself into her. Fuck!! She was so beautiful and sexy. Have we talked about how wet she is for me right now.. ugh!! Christine, why not kill me. Ive never felt this way with someone else. I was always in control of myself and in charge, but I gave into every of her demands and pleas, moaning like an idiot. She trembled and shook under my touch and stared at me still with need. Fuck! Christine didnt do this to me. I cant hold up any longer. If she continues this way, Im definitely going to fuck her and m those curvy ass onps. I want her.. so bad but Im never going to take advantage of her in this state. Fanuelshe pleaded with a needy eyes. Whats wrong with me? She asked confused as tears trickled down from her Hazel eyes. She shouldnt cry, I hate it especially when shes with me. Shes cried enough.

Im.. so horny Fanuel and it doesnt feel right. She confessed while my hands trails to her lips. You were drugged. Her eyes widened when I said that and she looked confused but she quickly reced it with need as she grabbed my neck and kissed me hard and faster. I gave it to her not being able to get enough of her kisses. She breaks off and blurts the abominable. I need you Fanuel, Pleasemake love to me. My brain automatically shut down at those words and I closed my eyes and shook my head. No Christinejust give it time, It will soon wane off. Please babe, Im not taking advantage of your state. Fanuel!! Please, its what I want and not about you. I dont care if you call me a slut afterwards but its my problem to deal, just fuck me.!! That was it!!

Im going to tell her Im sorry I am and take her to the sky never toe back so soon. Her whole night will be filled with pleasure and not that stupid nightmare that makes her cry nonsense. I dived my tongue deep into her, kissing every side of her lips and slowing down. My wife was so naive in kissing but I was going to teach her. I kissed her lower lip seeking entrance but she tried to kiss my lower lips too. No babe, do the opposite of it. I tell her huskily and she hugged me and kissed my upper lips, dancing her tongues inside my mouth and I groaned at what she did. It was still trying to recover from that when she bit my lips slowly, taking her lips off me and mming it back. Fuck!! Christine. Sparks of orgasms A DEAL WITH THE CEO Fanuel.

There was no need to rush, I torture her by not meeting to her jerks and she cried. Please Fanuel, it hurts. Shhpatience.

I sucked, fumbled and jiggled before losing her naked navel and the sides of her stomach. She was wless. How she begged to be inside of her made my head ramble. I didnt want to rush. I wanted her to feel every heat before reaching her peak. I tug off her shirt and cane in view with her ckcy pants. I caressed her smooth tight and kissed a secret inch of it . Confessing how beautiful she was and telling her sweet erotic words. Fanuel, I cant anymore.. Please, I need you. Oh how I need her too, I want all of her and I pray I dont lose my mind and senses after this. I kissed her sex and she screamed wanting me to kiss there again. She was so impatient. I tore her pants off and stared at her naked self. She was embarrassed as she tried to close her legs but I parted it drowned in lust and not even aware of my environment. Dont!! dont feel embarrassed, youre mine ChristineIm your husband I said not breaking off my gaze from her dripping core. My throat itached instantly and my mouth watered. I kissed her there again and she moaned. Gosh, her moans were sweet music to my ears. I licked her and she was so fucking good. She tasted like a vine and Christine gasped. More from Pleasure and embarrassment as she covered her face with the pillows beside her moaning into it. I want to hear your voice Christine, please. I pleaded and she took the pillow off closing her eyes and moaned out silly as I lived and ate every part of her. Fanueloh yeah.. pleaseah. Fuckmoan for me babe, yeah just like that. She went haywire as she almost closed, begging and begging me not to stop but I did. I stopped abruptly and she cried. No Fanuel!! Please. Huh? Please what? I teased her and cupped her boobs. Dont stop, please. Dont stop what? I asked as I squeezed her ass, making her cry in pleasure. I need you inside please, dont stop fucking me. Fk!!! My dick almost broke as she said those words so erotic from her lips. Begging me not to stop fucking her drove me insane and I kissed her lips so hard. I couldnt hold it any longer and I tug off my jeans and brought out my hard member in sweet pleasure and pain.Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Look at me Christine, or I will stop right now. I whispered in her eyes and she fluttered her eyes open. I positioned my dick at her entrance and she bit her lips and closed her eyes. Damn it Christine!! I want to see your face while I fuck you.

Fuck Christine!! Call me that again. Fuck me, my husband. She cried and i m myself into her and we both moaned out staring at each her with funny faces while I pounded into her slowly. She grabbed my butt on a bid to make me go deeper and I mmed into her hard. Fuck Christine, fuck.. arghI fucking love you I shamelessly moaned while she cried. Oh Fanuelplease Tell me babe, what do you want? I asked, still pounding on her. Go harder please. She wed her hands on my back so tight that her nails sank Into my back an added a sweet pain. I stare at her breasts jiggling together as I pounded and mmed her. I went faster and faster, bending to kiss her and telling her to look at me. She was pure pleasure and ecstasy and she screamed at me. Faster Fanuel, harder!! Oh fuckkk!! I gave it to her, releasing my hidden self and pushing in faster and faster. I withdrew from her and she cried begging me not to stop. I kissed her hard and turned her over to make sure her cute ass faced me before sliding my dick into her warm tight sex. I pounded her so hard and her ass mmed against meeting my thrust. I was close, so fucking close that I hit her so hard and grabbed her breast, skin mming hard against each other and making ppy noise. Imoh Fanuel its. Yeah babe, cum with me cum for daddy. Her name on her lips sent me crashing and I reached the eclipse and peak shattering into sparks of orgasm. Dread and panic A DEAL WITH THE CEO Mirabel. My heart couldnt take it when Fanuel admitted that he would never love me even if he married me. I was hurt, this guy isnt even looking at me in any way that sounds pleasing Even after I suggested that he kicked Christine out, his eyes red up in an indescribable anger that I flinched. He warned me to stay off her and pleaded with me to leave which I screamed and vowed not to. I called Diana in utmost despair, the moment he left for the guest room toe over quickly which she did. Lets do it tomorrow I blurted out and she frowned. So soon? Yes! Fanuel thinks shes a saint bit I want to prove that wrong by making him watch how his wife will willing Fuck a random dude tomorrow. So what do you want me to do? Make sure to get closer to her and spike whatever shes going to drink with Viagra, double dosage. I said with anger and Diana nodded. What if Fanuels around, you know thats going to be impossible. Leave Fanuel to me, Ill make my dad call him for some random discussion. Just m6 sure her drink is spiked. I told her and she nodded. Fanuel didnt look pleased when he sighted Diana that he had toe over and asked why the heck she was here. I found that weird, Diana was Christines friend and she came here often to see her, why was he acting as if she was a stranger. He even asked her what she was doing here and I could as well see the admiration and lust used on him while she talked. Fanuel ignored her and nced at Christines room before heading towards the door Anger flowed through me and I warned Diana sternly not to mess up. Why not use Alex? What Do you mean? Fanuel hates Alexs guts, so imagine him staring at Christine moaning under Alexs touch, he will go crazy. She said and I agreed, she was definitely right. I ced a call to Alex who sounded excited about the whole stuff and made me promise to keep Fanuel away from the mansion. I dresses and went out to meet my dad and coaxed him to Call Fanuel and keep a long discussion with him, exining that I needed to surprise him with a gift which he did Im a jiffy Diana called telling me he left the house and I told her to do her job well which she did sessfully. I felt good about the whole thing and wished for everything to go well. Alex arrived and called telling me how responsive she was and I grinned. I stayed at the Vi and saw Fanuel walking. I looked all unconcerned and uninterested and he greeted my father respectfully and they sat.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org. He kept ncing at his wrist watch and dutifully highlighted whatever my father asked in detail while they joked about something random. Fanuel felt ufortable and wished to use the restroom which he did andter came back with a frown. It was urgent from the way he sounded and he requested to leave. My dad used his best to coax him I to stay but Fanuel was being Fanuel. Not even the president could influence him to go against his wishes. He apologized to my dad and promised to make it up to him the next day and panic washed through me. I used to meet him at the parking lot and he looked somewhat surprised to see me there. Are you stalking Mirabel? Why will I do that? Why are you here when you were crying a few hours ago in my mansion? II just wanted to see my dad, didnt know you wereing over. Your lies stinks Mirabel, get the fuck out of my front. Are you going home? Do you have a problem with that? No, can I join you? Go meet your daddy, Im sure you had something important to tell him. Fanuel wait.. I just wanted.. He entered his car and locked the door, not giving me time to finish my statement. God! What if hes heading home? Alex would be so dead. I rushed to my room to pick up my phone and dialed Alexs number shakily. I rang a million times without picking and panic washed through me. Diana already went home and it was so useless for her to be there cause she wont even beat up time and traffic. I dialed Coles number and he picked at the first ring. Thank goodness!! Yeah Cole, please tell Alex to leave that mansion immediately. Fanuel is on his way. Alex isnt in the mansion? Huh? I didnt see his car and I didnt see when he came in. No Cole, go in and check? Hes with Christine. I almost yelled in frustration. Im sorry, Fanuels already Here. Dread and panic washed through my spine. Let me Love you Christine. I yawned weakly and flutter my eyes open. My stomach growled with hunger and I sat up with the sheets wrapped around my body and face palm myself. I want to scream, I want to hide and I want to rey everything that happened. I stare at my ripped pants on the floor and blushed hotly. I never imagined in m entire life that I would feel that way. So unholy and needy. I stared at the side of the bed and it was cold. Fanuel actually left. Dread washed my entire soul as imagined if it was Alex that had his way with me, God I will kill him and die. No mater he pleasure , I would have never been okay and would have cried my eye to stupor. But he exact question Im supposed to ask myself is who the hell drugged me? What Id someone else like Cole or the guards came in? Would I have been that shamefuless? I remembered how Fanuel made me want more and more of him and I still needed more. Oh God! It felt so fucking good as I could still feel his hands on mine. Pleasuring me in many ways and making me moan. I pushed him to do that and the fact that he was reluctant at first made my heart warm just now. The door slid open and he entered. Looking more dangerously sexy with his red Calvin Klein jeans and polo with a tray of food on his hand. I looked down, totally nshy and embarassment not wanting to meet his gaze. I cant believe we both did it, I cant believe that I wanted more and he was so naughty and so fucking good and he was the only one in my existence to worship my body like that. Are you listening Christine? His voice sends sparks through my skin straight time core. He came close and looked somewhat guilty and remorseful. Huh? I wasnt listening. You need to eat up and take your medicine, i understand if youre mad at me but Im not mad at you!! I gasped. Why would I be? Are you sure? He asked softly and i nodded before sighing in relief. Why do you think Im mad at you? He sighed and tuck my hair strands. I uhmmm. you know, we sort of. He stuttered for words and it was the most beautiful sight for me. To see Fanuel Hudson loss at words for me. I hope Im not talking to the fake Fanuel. Christine, I thought you will be mad, that I used you at your drugged state. Just know that I know Fanuel and I wanted it to be you, I couldnt let another person touch me you didnt used me. Im sorry, I let those idiots do that to youI wont happen again.. ever!! He apologize sincerely and I nodded. Do you think its Diana and Mirabels doing? I know it is but I will teach them a lesson, I promise. He kissed my hair and brought the food closer and that little gesture made me want him over again. inwas getin attached to this man and I was scared, hoping I dont get hurt or making a mistake but I cared less. I dragged the food closer and digged into it while he watched me eat. He was so acting so sweet and cute that I wondered nowhere he threw this side of him all this while? This new him was so addicting and so impossible not to fall. His beauty didnt help and he looked ravishing letting images of how he moaned shed into my head and what he did to my body. He frowned and stared at me. You stopped eating, are you okay? Im fineAll content is ? N0velDrama.Org. Please eat and stop staring at me like that before I change my mind and eat you. He said so seriously and I swallowed facing my meal. I finished my meal and regained a new energy before heading to the restroom after he left with the dish. I took a quick shower and came out with my towel to throw a light clothes on since Fanuel ripped the one she wore. Fanuel came in and skimmed his eyes all over me and sighed with frustrationcing his voice. I felt tensed and I gave the wardrobe and look for something to wear before I go crazy with that eyes. He came close and wrapped his hands around my waist. You dont need to look at what to wear. He said huskily and my breath hitched. Huh? You do despicable things to me without even trying. I felt his hands run over my exposed Laps and I closed my eyes, savouring the feeling edging closer to him. I love you Christine. He said and I tensed, hes been saying that word repeatedly and I get nk. II dont know what to say Fanuel Shhyou dont need to say anything. Fanuel.. I dont deserve you one bit but the way you make me feel is exhrating. I cant get enough of you and I would literally kill anyones who dares try to harm you again. His hand went upso close to my breast that my breathing went fast. Just let me love youlet me treat you rightplease hun. He kissed my neck and i felt fire and melt into his touch arching my back and poking my ass tight to him. You keep making me go crazy. He turned me over pinned me against the wardrobe staring at me with love and staring at my cleavage with lust. Those icy blue eyes and pointed crafted nose with sinful lips stare at me lovingly and I couldnt help it. I tip toed on my feet and kissed him heavily and he reciprocated. He lifted me and made me wrap his leg on his waist not breaking off this sweet kiss. The need, the want and intensity was too much to be ignored. We needed each other so badly and he cupped my butt and went to the bed sitting on it with his lips ravaging me fiercely. Do you want to do this? He asked amidst the kiss and i nodded. No Christine, tell me. Yes Fanuel, I want this? I said breathlessly and he loosened my towel. My Ex- girlfriend Third pov Alex fumed seriously over the phone as he contacted Mirabel who couldnt stop apologising for the mess she created between him and Fanuel. He had never been humiliated in his entire life! Infact Fanuel had touched the fragile part of his heart and stamped it so hard making him shake for revenge. Was there not anything he could use against Fanuel that would make him cry so hard? He had tried every nook and cranny to bring this guy down but he always ended failing. He was done with failure!! He would make sure Fanuel paid with blood and tears. Mirabel was too weak and naive to be Involved in his ns any longer. He was going to take a hug step and use something really delicate. He retrieved his phone and called Diana, She was the person that knew everything about Christine inside out and she needs her to open up her weakness. Anything that could destroy her or make her crumble with fear. Fanuel was in love with that girl, damn! How could he not see it all this while? He could tell through his rage that he was mad because of Christine. That was the first time Fanuel ever reacted in such manner towards a woman. Not even Mirabel or crystal had ever brought out the beastly side of Fanuel. Even when he found out that I was fucking Mirabel, he wave it off but was mad because that person is me. That was Fanuel a stone cold person that doesnt give a fuck about your existence, well of course, except for Crystal. He cursed as he remembered her name, no he shouldnt even get emotional and attached right now. Diana reached the hotel Alex was Im following the directions and address he texted. He bes her to sit and she couldnt miss the anger in his tone. His nose was broken and he was badly injured in almost every part of his body. Tell me.. He said and looked t Diana boredly. Why are you against your best friend? Diana scoffed and stared at me in wonder. Was that why you called me? That wasnt my question, Why are you bent on seeing Christine leave Fanuel. Shes a victim of forced marriage and none of whatever thats happening is her fault. Do you have a grudge against her or something? Diana sighed, not trusting her instincts to tell this guy why she just wanted Christine out. She could get a chance with Fanuel if given the opportunity, she just needed him and wouldnt let this slip. Harry already broke her heart by saying demeaning words to her but no mater what Fanuel will say to her will change what she feels for him. She was nuts over him and its all about Fanuel. Is it because of Fanuel? She widen her eye at such suggestion, how did he even know that? Her expression alone convinced Alex that she was doing this to have Fanuel. How funny and ironic. She was working with Mirabel to get rid of her friend for the Man they both want. He broke into a dryughter before making it serious, confusing Diana who furrowed her brows. It turned fromughter to anger as he stood up and carried the table and smashed it on the ss door frame which crumbled to pieces. She flinched in fear from the crash and Alex yelled. Its been all about him!! Everything always revolve about Fanuel! Fanuel this, Fanuel that! What do you bitches all see in him? Youre so stupid for thinking that Fanuel would stare at your shadow. He doesnt give a fuck about anything and anyone. If you think youre doing this for him, you will cry blood, tears and sweat for that statue.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g Alex blurted out in harsh breaths before trying to calm down. I know a way to bring Fanuel down in such a way that Christine will be out of the way.. for you he added almost sarcastically. But I need you to tell me everything you know about Christine. I can use the strongest and weakest point to finish them both. Diana thought hard and long before arriving at a conclusion that If she cant have Fanuel, no one else will. Her biggest fear right now is her father. ***** Fanuel kissed the hollow of Christines neck and she sighed and smiled. They were still sprawled on the bed after their second hot session. The dark clouds were slowly dispatching and sunrise was at its peak, Christine yawned and turned to look at this handsome piece of cake who was making her heart flutter and leg shake in every way possible. Good morning love. He greeted with his ever so husky voice and she blushed. Hey husband. He grinned. She had seen how he went crazy by just calling him that and she just wanted to do anything that pleases him. She hade to trust him and love everything about him which made her crazy. You should prepare for work. She mumured but he shook his head. Not today. Why? Because I want to spend sometime with my wife, alone. He muttered the alone like some sinful act and she blushed. Any nightmares? He asked her kissing her eyes and she shook her head. No. How could she have nightmares when he was right there beside her giving her the fantasy she never Imagined. She badly wanted to ask him something that bothered her so much so she faced him with seriousness. Fanuel. Babe? She blushed, she was now getting used to him calling her pet names out of the blue. Whos Alex to you? He tenses suddenly and atmosphere in the room changed. Its okay if you dont w Hes my cousin. She gasped. Why is he into youtely, if you both are rted? Hes always on my neck since childhood. My dad saw him on the streets and wanted to adopt him so badly but mum reminded him that he has his children. Especially I who was going to take over thepany. She made sure that Alex was sent and I couldnt stand him him either. He was a bully and always fought at me at every little chance he got while we stayed together with my dad. I was so weak then that Jayden was my only source of defence. He paused and gave a long sigh. Dad had ns of sending him to the orphanages but my uncle fell in love with him and took him instead. Christine sat up and gasped. You mean he isnt even the biological son of Malcolm Hudson and not even your biological cousin. Yeah. He went mad and thought I was the reason dad pushed him to another. He harbored that for years and swore to take thepany from me, iming that he was the rightful owner since hes older than me. Thats total bullshit. He smiled at her kissing her hands before continuing. What made him really mad was when Crystal died. Christine frowned. Whos Crystal? My ex girlfriend. He raped me Christine. I swallowed hard as he said that, almost as if he was in pain. Im still baffled at the fact that Fanuel was opening up and telling me things. It felt so genuine to know that he was willing to let me know everything but I felt I was intruding too much and the suspense and curiosity of what happened to Crystal was too much for my head to calm. I pushed buttons and pressed further. What happened to her? His jaw twitched angrily and he closed his eyes as if he was recovering from a bad memory he was running from. Its okay Fanuel, you dont need to say it. I told him and regretted bringing this topic. We both had an ident. He blurted out frowning as if in pain, his Adam apple popped up and down. Swallowing hard. He was having a hard time trying to talk and I really had to stop him this time around. Its okay, thats enoughyou dont need to tell me what happened, please. Ive seen him in a painful and a pity mode, so seeing him this way was making me feel very bad for even bringing this topic up. We all have a tough past thats likely to remain buried. It was her birthday so I went to visit her at her apartment. I had intentions of proposing to her before I travel out to Canada toplete my degree. He paused and sighed, still facing upwards but with a rxed mode now, while I eagerly waited for him to continue. I reached her apartment, very anxious to propose and give her the most beautiful gift ever, only to go to her room and saw her moaning under Alex who was hitting on her. Heughed and continued. Nothing could describe my rage and fury then. I was just dazed, frozen, surprised and extremely pissed. I demanded an exnation but she wasnt even feeling remorseful whatsoever. She asked me to leave so that she woulde over and exin. On a normal day, Id have foolishly left. That was how I was obsessed with Crystal. But not this time, I dragged her out after she wore her clothes and drag her into the car She was going to give me an exnation at that moment. I wanted to take her to the hotel or somewhere serene but Alex red in anger at my outburst and told me to fuck off from his Girl!! I couldnt ept that! Ive known Crystal since high school and she was the only one that I found worthy. She was clean, beautiful and wless. I refused to believe that she was seeing Alex. I drove like a maniac on the road but I was careful. Meanwhile Alex was trailing and following me with so much speed. I wasnt even aware of that until the unimaginable happened. I took a sharp brake on my pedal to avoid running into an oing car but Alex was too fast. His voice broke and I gasped, not wanting to believe what he was about to say.Owned by N?velDrama.Org. He was too fast and he crashed into us, sending the car into the middle of the road and everything went nk. She died at the spot, while I was rushed to the hospital. Before the ident, she screamed at my face that she was never in love with me. I was just the big fish she was not letting go easily and shes sorry. She was in love with Alex and I pushed her to her death. I Ki No Fanuel, you didnt!! That wont work on me Christine, dont coax me. I killed her Fanuel please listen to me. There was Every chance for you to get to your destination safely and her side while she heads home or you drop her off but Alex came into the way. Alex killed her, not you? I scream at him with tears on my face. How can he harbor all that guilt for something that wasnt his fault? It was evident he was crazy about her and had every right to be angry but not ming himself for her death. Alex thinks I killed her, and hes hellbent on getting back at me. Hes tried ways to kill me but failed. To hell with Alex, stop harboring self hatred for something thats not your fault. Stop it please.. I pleaded but he closed his eyes. I dont know Christine. this feeling, this guilt made me swore never to do anything with a woman again. I epted it, angry at Crystal for betraying me and mad at myself for killing her. Do you still like her? Even if she surfaces now? I asked, not believing Im getting jealous of the dead. Not when Ive seen someone with a pure heart, I dont think anyone can rece you Christineyouyoure totally different and new to me. IFanuel, Im sort of still trying to digest everything. One thing Im sure of is I find myself epting you and getting attached to you each day. Im just scared for the worse to happen. Christine, look at me. He cups my face and inched closer. Ive hurt you enough for me to try it again as a mistake. I will never repeat history. I promiseI love you badly Christine. I liked this man too, a lot. But what if he changes his mind? He talked about the deal, the contract. I sighed and pushed the negative thoughts away. He loves me and I should enjoy every bit of it. I straddled him and wrapped hands on his neck, listening to his quick breaths and kissed him. He kisses me back slowly, not with lust. Just a gentle kiss passing so many messages through my spine. I grabbed the back of his neck and sank deeper into him, feeling every sweetness of his lips. We continued in that rhythm for some minutes before breaking off the kiss to catch some breath. His gaze not leaving mine as he edges closer and asked me something that made me jerk in fear not expecting that at all. What did your father do to you? He kissed my earlobes and I shiver from the impact but I trembled more at the question. I dont know if I can trust him enough to tell him about the shameful thing I went through in the hands of my step father. I would literally break into shreds if he used it against me tomorrow and rub it all over my face at how shameless and useless I was. As If sensing my tenseness, he rocked my back slowly. Its okay Christine, you can trust me. He says and I sighed, starting from the scratch. He raped me. X rated happenings A DEAL WITH THE CEO Third pov Mirabel shamelessly returned to Fanuels Mansion despite the fact she knew that her cover was blown. There was no way on earth Fanuel wouldnt know that she or Diana drugged Christine. If Fanuel didnt want him in a hurry, she would have joyously twirled around as Fanuel watched the tape of Christine moaning to Alex. There was nothing Christine would do to defend herself because she would totally look like a slut in anyones face. She entered the house quietly after punching the pass digits and went straight to his room. Irrespective of whatever she did, she couldnt bring herself to leave. She scoffed at how foolish that would be when she was already gracing the magazines as Fanuels lover. His room was exquisitely neat and beautiful but Fanuel wasnt inside. Her stomach churned and heart flipped with fear at what Fanuel would do to her or his reaction towards her about what happened to Christine. She left the room and went to his study but he wasnt there. She retrieved her phone and made a call to one of his workers to confirm if he actually wanted to work but they told him their boss wont being to work anytime soon. She sighed in frustration and sat on the sofa. Maybe he went to see Edward or his brother. She nced at Christines room and rage filled her. Why cant she just make her run away and never return. She has all the money, so she could definitely hurt her since all this marriage was a sham and it was a result of her dads ipetency. She sprang up at once to her room to give her a piece of her mind but Christine wasnt there. She frowned and wondered where she might have gone to. That girl is simply stuck in the mansion and wasnt allowed to leave. She traced her footsteps to the kitchen and heard some giggling noises. Who the hell was she with? She took a deep breath and hoped it wasnt Fanuel so she could happily implicate her but was shocked to her bone marrow when she opened the door. Christine sat on the kitchen counter with Fanuel standing in between her thighs, kissing her passionately and wild. They didnt even notice she was there as tears sheened Mirabels eyes. Christine moaned under Fanuels touch and grabbed his neck tight to kiss him deeply. They were going to make pizza when Fanuel decided to be totally distracting and naughty. Christine felt a presence so she turned to stare at a crying Mirabel. She broke off from the kiss but Fanuel was so lost in it as he tried to kiss more of her. Christine cleared her throat and stared at Mirabels direction. Fanuel scoffed, carrying Christine down and concentrated on beating the flour, totally ignoring Mirabels presence. Ff. fanuel. Mirabel gasped not knowing what to say, her heart truly shattered after staring at such a scene. Fanuel!!!! She yelled this time around with anger clearly visible in her eyes and the cute guy turned to stare at her boredly. What the hell Mirabel, have you gone nuts? Why are you with this bitch!! You shouldnt even touch herargh?! She said as if it was the most disgusting thing she ever saw. You have a problem with that? Fanuel.. we had an agreement, you shouldnt break it. I will tell my father to withdraw all the investors and the shares he pumped into that dwindlingpany of yours She started hyperventting, not knowing what to say aside from that. Go ahead He said boredly and Christine widened her eyes. He kissed her and smiled. Its okay love, it wont affect thepany. Im just going to let the cat out of the bag and she loses her dad to the prison or might join him He said smirking at Mirabel and she froze. What. do. you. mean? She stuttered in confusion. You think I dont know your dads illegal and dirty acts with other countries, especially the Russians. How he allegedly opened borders and epted high hard drugs to sell within New Jersey. He had stolen trillions from the stock exchange and covered it up with financial errors and glitches. oh! Dont rejoice yet, Ive got proof. Legit one from the head prosecution office in the highest authority. All I just need to do is tell them to y the microchip and your father steps down!! Have I talked about how he allegedly wanted to invite me to join hands with him to hack into Interpol and delete his old case of killing a couple while driving carelessly in a runaway. Mirabel crumbled to the ground shaking her head in horror. Nonono .. no way. She mumbled and vibrated. Just because your dad was from a wealthy family to cover up his shits doesnt mean that I cant bring it out to the light the moment you try to cause havoc to mypany or touch my wife ever again.. He was visibly angry and Mirabel was still shocked. How the hell did he find out about her father? How was he able to dig all this into a lime light? Dont do this Fanuel, I love you so much. I know, I love my wife more. She shook her head not believing what he just spurted. He had never loved anyone before or gave a damn. Thats a lie Fanuel and you know that!! Thats your cross. Fanuel Ill make it up to you, just dont trash me out like thisIll go crazy, youre the only one I need right now. Go fuck Alex. He blurted and Mirabel dropped her tears without stopping. If you ever try toe close to my wife ever again. He paused and stared at her. Ill release your sex tape with Alex to the world Mirabel. She gave a sharp gasp that affected her chest.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. You know how the world loves X rated happenings especially with public figures like you, It would torment you forever Mirabel. Fanuelplease dont do that. Dont make me lose concentration please, Im trying to learn how to make pizza here. Its what my wife craves for. Make sure to get your belongings out of my room and get fuck out of my house. Fanuel Said and turned to look at Christine who was now mixing the eggs with the flour. She couldnt be more pleased that her husband was this smart and had things going his way. She now understood when he said that he had ns. She wanted to hug him and kiss him all over again. She wanted to tease Mirabel badly but she refrained. She was already in so much pain as she watched her slowly getting up. I love you Fanuel, Ill always do. Fanuel smirked. Tell that to the birds flying in the air. What Video A DEAL WITH THE CEO Jayden. Mum wouldnt even let me sleep a wink as she kept rambling endlessly to see her son and her daughter inw. She worried so much for Christine that she had literally cried when she overheard the argument I had with Edward over the phone about Fanuel beating Christine up about something the file she knew nothing about. She asks about Christine endlessly and I promise to drive her myself to Fanuels Mansion after declining my offer to join the men to take her there. She was already set before sunset looking all ready to see her Son, with the handkerchief Christine had made for her. She cherished it so much and used it always. I had told Laurel to make sure she was prepared cause she was tagging along. My door slid open and Laurel gasped on seeing me still lying on the bed, shirtless. You sleeping cow!! Your mum is already waiting by the car. She shook me and hit my head with the pillow. Hey! That hurts. I yawned, sighing wanting to sleep more. Just more more sleep please I pleaded but Laurel climbed the bed and jumped, making sure the impact of her shook the bed and I couldnt have a peaceful nap. I dragged her legs and toppled on me, melting on my body. Fine!! Can you just stop that? No, go in there and freshen up. Dont keep your mum waiting. Jeez, its barely 9:00 am. Jayden!! For your mums sake, kindly disappear She said in frustration and I gave her a quick kiss. Yes princess. ****** We were all seated in the car as I got ready to drive. Edward appeared from nowhere and frowned at the sight of my mum in the car. Were you guys nning on a vacation without me? He asked and entered the car without permission. I grinned and nodded at him. Yes, were going to yugovia and chilling at Yamashiro. Laurel chuckled and Mum concentrated on the road. That sounded like a lie. I was here for something else actually, Easton found a trail in his dad but he need help with something I whipped my head towards him and concentrated on the road again. He was doing a good job in finding his dad and he was really impressed. Easton has sworn to pin his dad and get Christine from Fanuel no matter how long it would take. It was no hiding how he despised his father, there was something deeper than what his dad did to make sure he was found by all means. He had sessfully raided the airport through him to fish him out despite using a fake Id. His finger print did justice as Easton made sure he connected the airports server to hisptop and searched for his footprint. Everything was sessful as he smirked in ecstasy, knowing he was close to fetching the old man out. I knew he needed more equipment than a Laptop so orderedputers and gig equipment for a new model so he could work with. He was bbergasted but it was just a tip from me. He spent hours working endlessly until I advised him to take a break and a deep breath. He should try and see his sister more often and he agreed. Whatever help he needed now would be a piece of cake, he was ready to go to the fullest extent to help him so his sister could be free from Fanuel. But everything broke and shattered when we reached the huge white Mansion. No, I was too shocked to move when we slid the door open. Laurel grinned at the couple who were beautifully cuddled on the floor on a piece of a white fluffy mat covered in red roses and designs. A booky above them and Christine was fast asleep holding Fanuels hand tightly beneath her breasts. No way!! Jesus!! Is this Fanuel? I wanted to go and see for myself but Laurel dragged me back and my mum almost pped me for trying to ruin this lovely couples nap. Edward recovered from his shock and retrieved his phone and gave a nice snap. Yeah!! He totally needs to do that. I was dying of different currents of questions flowing through my head. My mum was smiling so widely and I wondered if her mouth wasnt in pain. We all saw Fanuel turning to our direction and sighed, rolling his eyes and shing a quick smile at mum. His movements were so careful that he didnt want to wake Christine. He disentangled himself from Christine and tried to remove his hands but Christine hands were firm on him, murmuring incoherent words. Fuck!! What happened to our Christine too? Did Fanuel do something to make sure she reacted this way? Fanuel sighed and coaxed her, rubbing her back slowly like a baby and sat up at once.Owned by N?velDrama.Org. He moved his hands under waist and the other at the back of her shoulder and head to carry her. I bit my lips, not believing what I just saw. He carried her and moved straight to hiswhat? His room!! Whats going on? Edward blurted impatiently as soon as Fanuel left our sight. I think Im day dreaming, or maybe they are acting to show it to the publicter, Im sure theres a camera somewhere I nced around and Edward agreed nodding his head. Laurel was just chuckling and giggling and I bet to whisper in my ears to tell me whats going on. Christine told you right? Jayden have some respect!! Your mum is sitting right here, you shouldnt kiss her. Edward blurted and mum bend to look at my position with Laurel and I swallow and curse at Edward. I was just asking her a simple question. I said ring at Edward who smirked, that dude was just trying to piss me off. Fanuel strides inzily, still in his pajamas. Can you guys start exining why you broke into my house this early? Please tell me you didnt hit Christine to shoot a video with you? I blurted and he frowned deeply. What video? To show the press or something. Are you high Jayden? No I think youre the highest, youre not even at work by this timejeez! What did she do? Mum yelled at me to shut up and I swallowed. I miss you mum. Fanuel went over to hug and kiss her but he received a knock. Ouch!! Mum? Thats for not even drafting a call and beating up your wife. Jeez!! I thought you missed me too. Of course I did, I couldnt sleep until I saw my baby I rolled my eyes and Fanuel did the same, my typical mum always calling us babies no matter how we scream at her to stop. You could have just called mum and I would have brought it up over, noting with these douchebagsexcept you, Laurel. He said and I scoffed. Arent you going to work? Edward asked. Not today, I need to prepare breakfast for my wife. He said and strodezily to the kitchen making us freeze at the spot. No way!! What did Christine do to my brother? A pervert A DEAL WITH THE CEO Christine. I felt a tap on my shoulder and I fluttered my eyes open to meet those icy blue eyes that made me drool. The sun kissed inside and I sprang up at once. How long did I sleep for the sun to reach its peak? You could have woken me up. I whined at him. Why would I disturb a beautys sleep? I rolled my eyes as I watched him type furiously into hisptop with the sheets covering his waist down. I hope youre wearing something down there. I asked and my cheeks flushed hot and he and he gave that cocky grin. Wanna check? I rolled my eyes at him and a strong sweet smell of coffee wafted through my nose. My mouth watered as I stared at the creamy coffee with beautiful pancakes beside me. I moved my hands eagerly to take the mug he pped my hands away. Go brush your mouth. Ill do thatter Ill brush it off for you if you act stubborn. I sighed and groaned knowing his type of brushing, it would make us both roll over the sheets sinfully. I wonder how I got here when we fell asleep in the living room. It was fun as I watched him read a novel I picked from his room. It was about a King with magical powers used to control the world. After ruling and fighting for decades, he sought ways to end his life but he couldnt. He tried different methods to die but death kept rejecting him Until he met with the moon goddess on the verge of seeking how to die. Tables turned and he fell crazily in love with her and sought ways to Live longer so he could be with her but prophecy had it that the moon goddess was the only one to kill him. I fell in love with the book and wanted to read all of it but it was reallyte and Fanuel urged me to sleep so that we would have plenty of time to read it. I entered that restroom and discovered that my brush isnt here. Going to my room to get it was simply tiring so I picked Fanuels own from the picker. Hes my husband after all. I brushed carefully and rinsed my face, going back to my coffee as fast as possible before it got cold. Were you really craving that much for my coffee? I hissed and ignored him, drinking the bitter sweet coffee that almost scarred my tongue. After showing him how to make coffee, he beat me to it and made the best. He makes sure I have breakfast in bed, pampering me too much. I bit on the pancake and moaned, it tasted really good and he grinned knowing he did well.Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Im perfect you know. Of course you are a cocky husband. Just shut up, theres a lot to still learn. Like what, I can cookat least for now. Im smart, Intelligent, cute and sexy. I shook my head at this guy. Cockiness truly runs in his blood, even though he stated a fact. Who told you that, delete thest three items from that statement. No way! Im even far from that. He said dropping hisptop and sitting at the edge of the bed staring at me. I didnt like that stare, it made my heart race and sent a sweet sensation through me. I gulped on my coffee. And Im good here. He said and tapped the bed making me choke on my coffee. Get out Fanuel I should be the one to say that hun, youre in my room remember. Youre such a pervert. For you alone. I finished the coffee and dropped the mug on the tray, shing him a smile and thanking him. Its not enough Christine, I need more than a thank you. I roll my eyes at him, he does this more often. I grabbed his shirt and kissed him on his cheeks. And? He asked, feeling disappointed. I kissed his head and he groaned. ChristineI dont want that type. I teased him and continued, I kissed his eyes in the same manner he does to me and bent to kiss his nose. I mimicked his acts on me and I felt him tense, sitting like an obedient child. I bent low and kissed his neck, licking and sucking deeply and earning a gasp from him. Fuck!! Christine.. dont stop I smiled within me as I loved how a simple kiss on the neck could affect him that bad. I kissed his jaw and sneaked my hands under his shirt, rubbing and caressing my hands on his abs and chest. He threw his head to the back and sighed, loving the feel of my hands on his body. Gosh!! I was getting hot from his reaction and I needed more reaction from him. I never knew a naughty side of me existed until Fanuel spoiled me silly, making me wish to do things I never thought I would do. Fanuel unbuttoned his shirt slowly, making him look so sexy with his eyes fixed on me. He pulled it off and i ran my hands on those delicious bicep and chest. He was lean and perfect. I pinched his nipple in the exact way he does to mine and he bit his lips and there his head backwards. I used his unawareness and licked him, and sucked his tiny nipples. Oh Christine. please. I reached for his lips and kissed him hard and he made sure I straddled him. Making me sit on his hard member. He moved to touch me but I stopped him. It was all about me this time. I needed to make him feel good too as I cupped his hard dick and gave it a little squeeze. He jumped at the contact and looked shocked and wanted me to touch there again so badly. I kissed him and unzipped his zipper , though I was shy to the core. He touched me with authority as if he owned me so I should do the same without any embarrassment. His thick long hard dick was sprang up seeking attention and I stared at it in shock, Wondering how it had entered me. Fuck Christinedont look at it like that. Im going crazy. He looked as if he was in pain and I bit my lips. He stared at me with so much intensity so why cant I do the same. I wrapped my hands on it and he moaned sweetly. Oh dear, I was dripping at the sight of Fanuel moaning my name. Move please. I did as he wished and moved my hands up and down. It was new to me but Ive read tons of erotic novels on how its done. I applied pressure and moved my hands harder on his shaft. He was jerking up to meet my movement as if he was fucking my hands. Yes love, faster pleaseshit! Harder babe. I did as he pleased as his face contoured into a very sexy stare as he focused on my breath and bit his lips so hard. He held my hand and moved really fast giving a very funny face as he exploded bending down to kiss me hard. Erotic thrusts A DEAL WITH THE CEO Christine. His eyes and expression remains the sexiest thing Ive ever seen. I couldnt get enough of it anytime and any day. He bent low and kissed me slowly, lust still evident in his eyes as he touched me in all the sweet ces I could ever imagine. It was how he makes me wanton with just that stare and with a simple word of his. He kissed the nape of my neck and made me sat on hisps. Come here babe. His voice was so husky with need as I straddled him not breaking off the kiss. He raised my silky gown above my head and groaned, staring at my body with total awe and admiration. He cupped my butt sweetly pressing me to his hard dick and I moaned. I wouldnt tolerate another torture of his as I tug off his sweat pants, dripping with need. I want you inside. fuck He raised his waist up and gave me ess to remove his pants while his member sprang free. I wanted to flip him over to be on top of me but he held me firm. No babe, ride me on top. He said and I stared at him in confusion. Without warning he lift my waist positioned just right at the top of his dick biting his lips hard. Sit on it love. Hemanded and I followed his order. His hardness filling me up with his eyes shut tightly. Fuck!! Fuck me babe, please hun. He begged but I just sat still and he groaned, raising my hips with his hands and pushing it down. He continued this rhythm and begged me to move in the same manner. I held his shoulders, fully understanding what he wanted me to do and moved on him, up and down. It felt erratic as Fanuel cupped and squeezed my bouncing tits. I moaned loudly but he covered my mouth and kissed me, still bouncing on him with hands on my butt pping it softly. I cried in pleasure but Fanuel made sure he covered my mouth. Harder Christine! He grunted and I hit him hard, my breast jiggling at the impact and he cursed over and over again. I felt that sweet familiar building and I really increased my pace. Damn!! Fanuel jerked up his hips to meet my thrust mming back at me in every way possible. He raised my hips and thrust inside hard, telling me sweet words of loving me and being the sweetest.

None of them would have heard your sexy moans. He said Kissing my cheeks and carrying me off the bed to the restroom. He put me down and turned on the shower while I sighed under him as the water cascaded on our body. He took the liquid soap to wash all over my body even though I was trying so hard to suppress a moan. He made sure the soap was everywhere and turn on the shower again washing off the lethal of the soap. Damn Christine! He pped my butt and pushed me on the wall kissing me hard again and fondling my breasts. Fanuel, stop pleaseI need toargh! Fanuel I moaned silly at his touch. He carried me up against the wall and mmed into me again making my eye roll to the back and I clung onto him meeting every erotic thrusts of him till I reached the peak. ***** Im so sorry mum, Fanuel didnt tell me you arrived earlier. I said hugging Fanuels Mum and she smiled widely. Shes one of the persons that epted me while heartedly despite the mess my step Dad created. Its okay, its obvious he didnt want to disturb your pretty sleep. Anyway, youre glowing. Thanks Mum. I was so surprised to see Jayden, Edward and even Laurel who couldnt stop grinning sheepishly. Jay and Edward had a confused stare on their faces and I was almost forced to ask them if everything was alright. Are you okay Christine? Jay asked first and Edward looked me over. Did Fanuel ask you to do anything, did he hurt you? Edward added and I almost rolled my eyes at them. My heart warmed at the fact that they cared about me but I almost wanted to burst when I saw Fanuel strolling in and ring at them. Im goodand my husband didnt hurt me. Im totally fine, trust me. I told them but they didnt look convinced. You can tell uster if Fanuel is making you feel ufortable. Edward added and I couldnt help it. I bursted outughing. I was totally enjoying the stare on Fanuels face as he looked from Edward to Jay ringly. Can you stop pestering her with stupid questions and fix your asses in the kitchen to get something for mum? Seriously! You should be the one to do that, we came to your house for crying loud!. I dont remember inviting any of you, except Mum. Christineyoure a good cook right? Jay asked and I nodded grinning widely. Great, you and Laurel can prepare Something while we Shes not doing anything, go get cook or call the maids. Fanuel said sternly and I shook my head in dissatisfaction. But I want to I pleaded and he turned to stare at me, sighing. I know he wants me to rest but Im so tired of sitting and resting all the time. Christine but you just. He pursed his lips. Its fine, lets cook together. Jayden choked and Edward swallowed the moment an amused smile curved on Fanuels lips. Im in, lets cook together. He turned to stare at the guys not giving a damn at their reaction. You guys should get some drinks at the wine store, Ive run out wine Laurelyou should prepare the table and make it neat. Common hun, lets go. He said and dragged me out of the prying eyes that almost bursted out of their sockets. Dad in Chicago A DEAL WITH THE CEO Fanuel. I watched her wash the chicken and ce it in the pot while I chopped the carrot for the rice. She diced the beef and added it to the chicken while she moved over to the fresh fish. She did everything effortlessly and looked even more beautiful. I never imagined cooking would be fun, but Christine proved me wrong. Fanuel, its too tiny. Sheined and came over collecting the knife and showing me to chop it a little bigger. It shouldnt be more tiny than the grains. She said firmly and I nodded dutifully doing the exact thing she showed me. She was going to prepare a mashed chicken curry stew. Sheined that the chickens werent enough and there wasnt time to go to the market to get them. I suggested she used the meat and fish but sheined more that it had different vors, well she had no choice than to settle with it. She added various seasonings to the meat and I watched her every move. She blended the tomatoes and fresh pepper and I was so lost staring that I cut my hands. Shit! I cursed and panic washed through her as she dashed to me in worry. Oh Fanuel!! How did you do it? Sorryhere, sit down. She checked around for anything to stop the bleeding but couldnt. I tried stopping her to stop worrying but she brought me over the sink and washed the blood off. She cleaned it with a clean towel but the damn blood wouldnt stop flowing. The next thing she did made my blood freeze, she took my thumb into her mouth and sucked it. She brought it out and checked if there was still blood and sucked my thumb again licking it. My dick twitched at such sight, she didnt even know what she was doing to me at such an innocent gesture. It was like she was sucking my dick in front of my eyes and I groaned. I should respect myself here these days when Im with her. Im beginning to lose self control when ites to her and its really bad. See!! Its stopped bleeding! She eximed and smiled. You didnt have to do that Christine, you look like a sexy vampire. She gasped. Vampire huh? Mmwhy would you lick my blood like that when you can lick something else in that manner But you were bleeding and theres no first aid in the kitchen, Something else? Like what.? This girl was just so naive and innocent to be his, he had really spoiled her but he wanted to spoil her more. Something down here. I patted my dick and and she red at me. Stop being a pervert Fanuel. Im already one Christine. Jeez! Just sit there and dont touch anything okay? I need to finish up with these and dress that cut. I nodded and she did everything swiftly making the aroma of her meal saturate everywhere. I watched her backside and bit my lips. How can I just stare and do nothing while everything about her was screaming attention. I stood up and hugged her from behind. Fanuel.. stop please, at least not while Im cooking No, let me hold you while cooking. I cant just sit and stare. Then just fetch the water for me using the bowl. She pleaded and I sighed. Fine ****** We all had lunch quietly and I noticed how Laurel and Christine giggled over something and I chuckled. Typical girly thing. Okay, Im dying of suspense. I cant endure it any longer, can someone tell me what the hell is going on? My brother blurted and I hissed , concentrating on my food. Yeah, Im curious too. Edward added but the whole house became silent. Christine nced at me fidgeting nervously and I was getting pissed at the fact that these guys wont let her enjoy her meal in peace. Mum was nonchnt as she ate gleefully. If youre tired of the meal, just fuck off and let others concentrate. You can browse your questions on Google. Laurel giggled and winked at Jayden and he sighed, muttering asshole before eating. Wheres Miranda? Mum blurted and the whole eyes stared at me. Ugh! Really mum? I heard you struck a deal with her, just know that I will never ept her even in my grave. Mum said sternly and I rolled my eyes. My mums disgust for Miranda was still lingering, even when dad argued and told her how her dad will be a beneficiary to us, she argued nonstop with him stressing that her baby will never get married to a public bitch. Shes gone mum, she was too disturbing. That was fast, you didnt even let herst for a day. Jay said and I nodded. Christine was totally sick of her They were shocked again but chose to keep quiet. Alex has traveled back to Chicago. Edward said and I stare sharply at him with a questioning look. Im serious. he took a flight this morning and I couldnt help but tease him to confirm. That son of a bitch, he should nevere back. Stop cursing in the presence of Mum Christine warned and I nodded. They cleared the dishes while I sat on the veranda with Edward and Jay. They printed and tormented my life with questions about Mirabel wondering if she wouldnt do something nasty. She wont, I made sure to make her quiet about doing anything. Soo. are you going to tell us whats going on? Im exhausted Jay, I need to take a nap.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. I stood up from those begging assholes and strides towards my room when I hear something that make my blood boil. Christine.Jay called and stared at her softly. Yeah Jay.She smiled sweetly at him. Webbhe sighed and Christine turned and focused all her attention to him edging closer. Your Dad is in Chicago. What? She gasped in shock and he nodded. Easton found out yesterday, he doesnt know the exact location yet but he told me to tell you this. He wants you to hang on and that hes definitely going to find Webb and get you out of here by all means. Really? Yes, he badly want to take you out of here She swallowed and heaved a sigh of relief which made my heart sink into sheds and she turned to stare at me which made me avert my eyes, looking elsewhere with my heart clenching tight against my ribs and mming the door shut. I lost him A DEAL WITH THE CEOOwned by N?velDrama.Org. Christine. I called Easton toe over to the mansion asap. I badly needed to speak to him about what Jayden said. He was still at loggerheads with Fanuel and asked if he was at home, I ended the call by telling him to try his best ande. I dont know why but I hated the feeling that Webbs location was discovered. In normal circumstances, I should feel happy and give my brother all the encouraging word, dont get me wrong. I still want Webb to be found but this uneasy feeling of leaving Fanuel clouded my heart and scared me. Finding Webb means retrieving his money and setting me free from whatever deal and contract I had with Fanuel. What if Webb is willing to pay the money to avoid going to jail? Ill automatically leave Fanuel and everything will go to its previous self. My stomach churned in pain at such a thought. Fanuel wasnt too happy with the news of finding Webb or leaving him, it was so evident. Are you okay Christine? Jay asked worriedly and I faked a smile. Im good Jay, thanks I know that smile Christine, that was the same smile you gave to me at the other house before Fanuel called everyone for his missing ne. Jeez!! He didnt have to be too detailed and remind me of that. I bit my lips and smiled, a genuine one this time around. Youre right Jay, Im not a good Liar. He smirked. I know, would you mind telling me whats bothering you? You know you can still talk to me right? He was really concerned about anything that has to do with me and I wondered why. His actions with me are enough for me to fall for him anytime anyday but his brother swoon me over instead despite his harshness and aggressiveness. JayIIm scared. Why? About my Dad, what if he hurt Easton after fishing him out? Thats a fat lie! That was the total opposite of what I wanted to say. I wanted to tell him to tell Easton to stop stressing himself. Webb can be gone forever and I wouldnt give a damn as long as I stay with Fanuel but I cant bring myself to tell Jayden Im head over heels with his brother. It will sound stupid weird. They were still having a hard time wrapping up whats going on and talking more of telling them. It was shrewd. Hes fine Christine, stop worrying about stuff like that. Webb will be in prison the moment we get hold of him. Hes not only going to be detained for stealing and fraud but for rape and assault My mouth dropped. Rape? He cursed inwardly as if he shouldnt have said that and sighed. Im sorry butEaston told me.. about the youshit, he told me not to tell anyone. Tears welled my eyes. That was a damn secret I didnt want the world to know. It was the most embarrassing, painful and dark moment of my life. Why would he tell Jay? Shes the only one with the right to tell anyone. How many people know already? My vision blinded as tears dropped in hierarchy. ChristineI didnt tell anyone and I will never condemn you for something thats not your fault.. Please just believe me. I nodded, feeling worse and exposed, my tears still drilling in torrents and I turned to meet with Fanuels angry eyes. I thought he was inside? I wiped my eyes quickly but the dude was already fuming, approaching them. What the f?k did you say to her? He red at his brother who swallowed hard, surprised at his reaction. IIm sorry okay, I didnt meant to hurt her What did you tell her? Fanuel yelled, causing the room to be alert and whipping their attention to the two brothers. Fanuelplease, its okay. Im fine, he didnt said anything wrong He ignored me not breaking off his gaze at Jayden who regretted his actions and wished he could rewind everything. I asked a question Jay. I didnt know that she would get sensitive to it, okay, I apologize Jayden cowered at his brothers stare. Youve overstayed, can you just No Fanuel, hes not going anywhere pleasestop already. Im fine, he didnt make me cry, I was just.. Im okay please I moved and stood in their midst, bringing his face down to meet with mine and he sighed, dragging my hands and leaving their sight to his room. Im sorry I broke down in tears and I dont just know why. You shouldnt, what did Jay say to you? He did nothing bad, I was just ashamed that he got to know I was raped and assaulted by my dad. I didnt want anyone else to know but my brother told him. I feel disgusted, I confessed and wept. Shh!! Thats enough love. Whatever Webb did to you doesnt change the fact that youre amazing and I love you to bits. It doesnt stop me from wanting you more or stopping your brother from loving you. Stop feeling embarrassed about something like that, You make me feel worse when I see you cry, I dont even deserve to even be with you afterdoing something despicable to you. Thats whyI could kill anyone who dares try to hurt you in anyway Stop it I tell him. What? Feeling guilty. I guess, I cant help it. You were angry and I understand that, as long as you dont hit me again Ill never do that to you againever. I just hope you try and forgive me. He said remorsefully and I hugged him, wanting to stay under his embrace and scent forever. He carried me up and ced me on the bed, cuddling me till I got drowned in sleep. After a few hours, I woke up with a soft tap on my arm. Im sorry love but your brother is here. Should I ask him to wait a little while? I stood up and stretched my hands. No, Ill meet him. I say standing up to meet my brother, who was lost staring at his phone. Christine! He sighed and stood to hug me staring daggers at Fanuel who left us alone. Easton, Ive missed you silly. You abandoned me pumpkin. He called my usual pet name and I grinned, ruffling his hair. You know I cant abandon my favorite, How is mum? Shes good, still running around to work and yelling at me to stay off theputer. I chuckled. Ive missed her too. Will you like anything.. I prepared something delicious. Sure.. he smiled and I moved to stand up when he held my hand. Christine, I cant find dads location anymore. I lost him. I want to go home A DEAL WITH THE CEO Christine. What? How and Why? I asked really feeling bad. It was as if his efforts of finding Webb went down the drain. I dont know. His voice cracked with hurt. Yesterday, the IP address connected to his thumb print shows that he was in Chicago and I couldnt hide my happiness, I told Jay to tell you that Ill find him soon and get you outta here for me to check back and he was gone. Ive checked everything and everywhere but I cant trace what happened but Ill never give up. Ill fish him out myself. Im sorry Easton, I mustmendyoure doing a great job. i cant believe my brother is a bad ass. You should work with the intellectualputer technology team. Youre a genius. I said sincerely but he justughed it out. I was so worried about you but it seems . youre looking good, like youre really beautiful and happy. And that son of a bitch gone psycho or did he travel? Dont call him that Easton! I almost red. Why not? Hes a douchebag. Hes notat least not anymore. I defended him myself and my brother stared at me in shock. What do you mean? I sighed and held his hands, biting my lips before continuing.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Hes been nice to me, really really nice. He wants to get into your pants. He hissed and I gasped. Nonot that Easton, Ihes really changed and he treats me really different. He treats me as if hes trying to make up for what he did to me. Dont tell me you fell for it. He asked frowning and I sighed urging him to listen. No way! He red, throwing my hands off me. Easton, I like him tooa lot. Christine why are you being so daft and naive! That guy just wants to fuck you. oh my god!! Jeez!! Christine, dont tell me you already did it. His eyes wereced with shock and displeasure that he stood up. Easton. hear me out please. No Christine, youre being carried away by nonsense. He almost killed you in every way possible but let you live to stand in for some bullshit that would save his business. How could you fall for someone like him? Why do you love getting yourself entangled into a horrible mess? Im burying my best to get you out of here and you called me to tell me this trash. He was hurt and I saw thising. Easton will never agree to this, he dislikes Fanuel a lot and he has vowed to make sure he gets me away from him. I was Pained that he didnt even want to listen to me but was concerned about the way he felt and the hatred he harbored for Fanuel. Ive never been loved and pampered in my entire life aside from him. Its not my fault I had to fall for my enemy who changed from a monster to an angel. I might be wrong or deceived but I want to enjoy this fantasy of mine before it fades. I want to love someone and be loved and I dont care if its Fanuel. I cant believe you want to tell me this. Easton, Im sorry but if I eventually get hurt.. Ill carry the cross. But right nowI cant help it either, I like him so much I will never support this madness Christine He fumed heavily and left the house making me shudder and wept bitterly with doubts. What if he was right? What if Fanuel was just using or being with me because of my body. What if I get hurt or he turns into that same him overnight, mocking me for being so loosed. I cringed at such thought badly and flushed it aside. He wouldnt do that, he says hes in love with me, is he right? I became moody all of a sudden as I retired to the room. Fanuel seemed to understand and he left me alone. I need to understand myself and my life, what would befall me if I ended up in this fairytale thats appearing all fake. The next few days werent pleasant as everyone left, Laurel tried to talk to me but I just smiled at her. I avoided Fanuel at all costs and refrain from his touch no matter how hard it seemed. I really needed to gain sanity and tell myself Im not making a mistake. Fanuel went crazy with worry asking me endless questions but I just shrugged it off and told him that I was sick. He called the doctors in worry and coaxed me in every way possible. He seemed to notice my reluctance so he stopped having contact with me. All he did was give me endless calls while at work to ask if Im okay and made sure I had my meals. I wanted to avoid him, maybe what I have for him is just lust and infatuation and the same thing goes for him. I needed to let whatever Im feeling fade off so I can convince myself that its not love and also give him the same space to think. It was hard not being close to him in the same mansion. He grabbed me one evening after he returned from work, worry and pains clearly visible in his eyes. Did I do anything wrong? He asked, staring at me and I nodded negatively. No. Why are you punishing me? I can ept any punishment but I cant go through with this anymore. At least, talk to me and say something. I wont touch you if you dont want me, justfucking say something to me. He said desperately and my heart clenched. Seeing him beg this desperately made me feel guilty. He felt I was punishing him but I wasnt, I wanted to kill this feeling and face reality. I needed to know my ce, knowing Im no match for this rich and handsome guy standing before me. He could meet his type at any time even after tossing Mirabel. Christine. you dont even look at my face anymore. Do I look so disgusting that you dont want me to even hug you? You make me miss you even when we are this closeIm sorry Christine, whatever I did wrong. Just. forgive me and give me whatever punishment but not thisnot you avoiding and ignoring me Tears welled my eyes listening to his confessions. He was really suppressing everything and trying so hard to be fine when hes breaking down. Fanuel.. Love? Iwant to go home. A sweet name A DEAL WITH THE CEO Third Pov His world shattered at her request and everything in him broke. He swallowed hard and stared at her in shock as if he didnt hear what she said. I want.. to go home for a few days. I know its totally against the contract but I miss my mum. Can I bend the rules this once. Christine asked, feeling more guilty at his reaction. She needed to be home, at least a week with her brother and mum. Aside from missing them, she just wants to stop this strange feeling cursing through her whole body. Maybe avoiding him for a day would make her forget a lot. Fine. He said kissing her hair, at least she wasnt leaving or requesting to leave him. For how long? A week. He gritted his teeth and nodded at her. She was avoiding him and it hurts him so much not to even know the reason. He thought he could try and give her the space she needed but he was going crazy with worry and fear with every passing day. What did he do wrong? He thought so badly that his heart ached. Was she being angry for what he did in the past? Was she just realizing that all of a sudden and felt she shouldnt be with someone like him? He asked her countlessly but she just smiled and told her she was fine, its nothing. Its a big deal to him!! He sent four of his men to take her safely to her house. Watching her leave sent his heart crashing, he was really scared that he thought she was fleeing. But he needed to trust her that she wouldnt do so. The moment he entered inside everywhere suddenly felt cold and empty. He sighed at how attached he had been with Christine and cursed himself for causing her pain in the first ce. Mrs Gracia was totally shocked on seeing her daughter as she hugged her and cried. She was still her usual self and nothing has changed except for her daughter who was glowing. Did you get into trouble? Why are you here, is Fanuel aware that youre here? She asked endlessly and Christine rolled her eyes. Im good mum, he let mee around but I will be going back in a few days. Oh Christine,e over here. She hugged her mum again and she went to her room while she followed suit. Get some sleep okay, well talk in the morning. Her mum said and she nodded wondering if she would have any sleep. Her room looked empty but the beautiful design was still there. Her little table with hermp still stood andy by the side of her bed and the baby big bear was sitting staring right at her face with those puppy eyes. She sighed and carried the bear, hugging it tightly and thought about Fanuel. She wondered if he slept well or if he had eaten. Her door burst open and Easton stared at her in surprise. I didnt believe mum.He said and Christine chuckled. He went to the bed and hugged her, throwing the silly bear away. What the heck are you doing here pumpkin? I missed you guys a lot. I know but is Fanuel aware? Yeah, he is. He stared at Christine not believing her. I didnt run okay, he asked his men to even follow me if you had seen them outside. I just needed some alone time. If you say so, though Im wondering what you did that he let you go easily. I havent heard from Dee, wheres she? Her blood stiffed at the mention of Diana, that betrayer who had fled after spiking her drink and doing a lot of despicable things. I havent been with her. She blurted out as if sheid a curse. She had beening around you know, I just havent collected my drive from her . She promised to return it. She gasped. What drive? The one I use for my Laptop, is anything wrong? You dont look pleased. You shouldnt give her your stuff easily, Easton!! Shes not to be trusted. Okay, I dont understand. Just dont trust her, simple! I need to sleep. Whatever, Im just d youre here. Lets flee to Chicago, we can find dad, threaten him and collect some cash before traveling out of this country. Youre high, get out of my room!. He chuckled and kissed her before leaving. Its been two days since she arrived. She was totally disturbed and couldnt even concentrate on anything. It was just a day and she itched for Fanuel. She was sick, worried about him and wondered how he was faring. Easton kept her a hugepany as he showed her his tech room as he had described and she was amazed. Jayden was really heaven sent. Three sets of hugeputersy neatly on the table with different cables connecting to them and all manner of electronic gadgets were stered on the wall. The projector was huge and she wondered why Easton would need all of these just to find one person. It was a waste of resources. She was absent minded in the games she yed with humans Easton kept on winning. After retiring to bed that night, her mum sneaked in. You didnt have to do that mum I knew you werent asleep. She sat up frowning and gazws at her mum who sat by the edge of the bed. You havent slept for thest two days Christine. That is not true mum. Yeah, cause you badly miss him. She choked on her saliva ring at her mum. What do you mean by that? Christine, youre in love with that CEO guy and you want to fight it. Youre here because you feel you can wave it off. Mum! Christine, Im your mother and Ive been here before even though I was foolish but that guy wouldnt just let you go if he isnt in love with you.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Why are you siding with him? I thought you hated his guts . Im not siding with anybody and I still hate his guts, Im just worried about you? Im scared mum I know but youre going to hurt yourself and hurt him for not trying to trust each other and understanding what you both want. He likes me a lot but I just doubt it, I feel hes going to change anytime and everything is too good to be true. Her mum sighed and stared at her. As long as he treats you right and cares about you, there is nothing to be scared of. I even heard he sent his ex packing from the house. Jeez?! How do you know that? New flies hun, but his brother was here. A very sweet calm soul that cared about you also. Jayden! She smiled. Thats a sweet name for a sweet soul, he looks cute too. You should get some sleep hun, itste Christine nodded and thanked her mum with new waves of feeling over Fanuel. She realized how much she has hurt him by distancing herself from him and leaving him in myraid of thoughts and confusion. Without caring about the time she picked up her phone and dialed his number. Long story A DEAL WITH THE CEO Fanuel. Just two days of not seeing or hearing from her made shut down with craziness. I cant believe it, I let her take over my entire being and cant even concentrate on anything except her. Shes the light to my darkness, and the warmth to my cold heart. I fucking miss her so much that it ached and sent migraines to my head. I rather kept myself so busy than sit idle and think about her. Work was really flowing and Edward and my brother seemed to be a pain in the ass by making things worse when asking about Christine. He made it sound as if I kidnaped and locked her in a cage. I totally ignored them and concentrated on anything that would drift my mind away from her. I worked silly and went to ces, visitedpanies for new deals and contracts and reached home veryte to draft into a deep sleep. Tonight was one of those nights I slept deeply but my phone jolted me with its ringtone and I frowned, wondering who would call me by this ungodly hour. Christine. My heart does different flips as I stare at the caller ID with different thoughts cursing through me and panic overwhelmed me. Fanuel. Her sweet calm voice gave a tingling sensation and I sighed in relief. She sounded okay. Christine. Are you alright, is everything okay? I miss youa lot. I grip the sheets tight and squeeze them, biting my lips. Christine. I sighed and released quick breaths not knowing what to say. Im fine Fanuel, how about you? Im totally like shit Mm. you need to take your bath to freshen up. I smiled despite myself, She interpreted it the other way. Why are you up now? I asked, staring at the Wall clock. It was past 1:00 hours in the morning. I couldnt sleep. She blurted and continued. I was worried about you. She confessed and I sighed.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. You shouldnt do that, Im totally finejust losing my cool because of you. Im sorry. You dont need to apologize. No Fanuel, II doubted you and I thought I could kill whatever thats going on if I give you space or make myself realize that none of whats going on with us willst. Its okay to feel that way, Ive hurt you enough No Fanuel, I didnt trust you and myself. I didnt want to get drowned loving you and ended up being hurt. Oh ChristineId never hurt you again, its a promise. Was that why you avoided me? Im sorry, I had to. I sighed at her sincerity and felt relieved. I was momentarily going haywire, thinking I did something wrong when she was just being inly confused. Its fine love, just rx and have all the time you need with your family. You cane when youre ready. Okay, I willI gotta sleep now before my mum res up. I love you. She said those magic words that made my entire being shake and cut the call. Her voice echoed over and over again in my head and I sighed, letting sleep take over me.. more peacefully. The doorbell rang and I frowned, yawning and getting up. It was dawn already and I wondered who the heck it was, disturbing my sleep. Easton. I almost choked, seeing him at my doorstep and panic at once. Is Christine okay? The dude ignored me and strolled in as if I permitted him. He sat and Crossed his legs over making me roll my eyes.
