Eighty six: Attack
I knew I was supposed to run over to him, and cuddled him crazily. Instead, all I was doing was to stare at him. I was really happy. To be honest, in the past few days, I had missed him a lot. There was really no point in denying that.
"Seth." Gently, I walked over to him, giving him a small smile. He was also smiling, but wasn't saying anything.
He cupped my jaw when I reached him. "Sweetie, where have you been?" And pecked my cheek.
"Gosh, I've missed you." A tear left my eye. What was making me emotional? In such a terrifying situation?
He leaned close, hugged me, pecked my forehead. "Oh yes, I've missed you too."
"This is really hard for us." I returned his hug, weeping on his chest. "Becca and Celina are doing all this. They really want to have me killed. They're taking it too far."
"I know it all. And, most of all, I'm glad you have no

The beam of the rising sun shone against my eyes, making me blink slowly. I yawned, the sore pain in my head becoming quite worse. Trying to sit up, I noticed how uncomfortable I was, my hands and legs feeling stuck to something. It took a while for me to open my eyes, and to even notice all that was going on around me. The moment I realized where I was and what was happening, I gasped. I tried sitting straight on this old, dusty floor, and also tried moving away from the ray of the sun which was attacking my eyes. I looked down at my legs which were tied, struggling to help myself out of this bandage. This was already a new day, yet I was still not seen by the police. Were Becca and Celina stronger than them or what? But, I could not remain here, right? If they weren't going to come and get me, it seemed like I would have

I sobbed. The pain I was feeling obviously wasn't as crazy as hers, but it felt like mine was worse. She gaped, groans leaving her mouth. Her lips quivered, quite obvious that she wanted to say something. Blood kept gushing out from the left side of her chest, as well as her mouth. Tears left her eyes, the gun dropping from her hand. Her body shook, seeming as if she'd lose her stability soon.I was shocked. Being shocked was an understatement.She was battling to live; battling to save herself.Alarmed, I cried, "Celina!" The moment I attempted to grip her arm, her body impelled backwards. Her legs tripped over each other, and like a weak mango tree, she fell off the cliff.Seeing that, my heart s

Seth laughed at me as I groaned and acted like a child. That was pretty annoying, but well, how could an adult be so scared to take an injection? I hated that thing so, so much.The doctor finally got rid of the syringe, and took care of the injected part of my skin. As soon as he was done with that, he arranged his box, and stood up. I kept squeezing my face like a crying child.He cleared his throat, and started, "Mrs. Lee, you're good to go for your trip. After all the tests we've done, I can confidently tell you that your body system is back to normal. The effects of the poison are completely diminished."I finally smiled. "That's good news. Thanks."Seth held my hand as he sat beside me. "Thanks, do
BILLIONAIRES Epilogue
The entire hall was silent. There was no doubt that everyone present in the great crowd in front of me, was in awe, feeling the intensity of the words I was speaking. I smiled a little, pacing around the stage. I stood behind the podium, and cleared my throat. "Now, this goes to the younger women in here." My hands settled on the podium, my shoulders raised proudly. "You see, people still tend to underestimate the power you have. But, I have good news for you. You're capable. What a man can do, you can also do. It's only about the mindset. Anyone can become successful. Don’t let anyone intimidate you." "Yeah," someone from the crowd agreed. I just smiled. They concentrated so much, as if their lives depended on my words. I continued, "Many ladies have lost
BILLIONAIRES One: Meeting
Louella•••••••••Just like every other day, New York city was busy.Honking cars suspended on the road, deafening music intoxicating the environment which was meant to be peaceful, the ambulance or police siren crying for the road users to make way for their passage, high schoolers walking by the road side, journalists hanging around companies to get one information or the other.I heaved a deep sigh, looking up at the Cirrus sky of the evening. What a beautiful view of the sky. Beautiful enough to make me feel blessed.Still staring up at the sky, a memory from ten years ago crawled into my head. It didn't just crawl into my head, it brought little tears to my eyes. And, not wanting to think about those sad times, I blinked to keep the tears, resuming being overwhelmed by the coolness around me.
BILLIONAIRES Two: Janitor
I tried to keep myself calm. Since I had begun working, I had attended hundreds of meetings with the top CEOs and chairman of great companies, but this one felt so different.First, I didn't have an idea of how the chairman looked like. Second, many people always spoke about his personality. They all said he was a cold, bratty dude, so straight forward. I wasn't so bratty, but I was sassy. Though I was confident, my dauntlessness had limits. And, what if this was a limit? What if I wouldn't be able to handle him?There was definitely no one I was scared of. But, when it came to my work, I liked to be careful. I didn't want to make the same mistakes I had made in the past. Yet, irrespective of how bad I needed to work with this company, I wouldn't let anything bring me down. If the chairman had an unscrewed nut in his head, I would deal with that in the right manner. The crazy manner.Opening the door of my ca

He stared even harder. He raised his hand, lingered it in the air, those eyes narrowing too crazily at me. The moment he decided to take a step close, walk towards the table, someone tapped him from behind. He snapped his neck around, began speaking with whoever that was.Good. This was the chance to escape. I could easily walk out of the meeting, and maybe ignore him, but that would cost my reputation. And, anything that costed my reputation, costed my life.I skimmed my eyes through the room. To my surprise, everyone was on their phone. It really seemed like God wanted me to escape here. Great! But wait, how in the world would I do that?I jerked Rachel's skirt. She almost gasped, but probably tried to swallow the breath that would have escaped her throat. "Come on now. Don't just stand there doing nothing. Don't make me fire you.""But, ma'am—""Do. Something
BILLIONAIRES Four: Upset
I went through the files on my table, trying to be as steady as possible. I was devastated. For the first time in a long time, working my ass off wasn't able to help me get rid of my bad mood. And, this was all that man's fault.Being a business woman, a couple of my business' offers had been rejected a lot of times. But, this one felt different. When Erin had decided to help me get qualified for the meeting, I hadn't been optimistic. But, when she had told me I was qualified for it, I had had so many expectations, only for the dude to threaten to send me out of his company.The door of my office made a slight sound, which caused me to flinch. Raising my head, I saw it was Erin. Of course, it was her. She didn't smile, which meant it was time to get scolded. As she walked towards my table, I moved my eyes to the laptop in front of me.She settled to sit on the leather chair by the other side of the tabl
