Pain and Comfort
Chapter Twenty One: Pain and ComfortFrom the direction she came, she could only see a leg, but soon the whole body was in view; it was Cruz. He seemed to be asleep as his eyes were shut.She felt relieved in an instant seeing him lying there unhurt. But then, her head still had many questions.As she watched his chest rise and fall softly, her heart pounded. Tingling sensations played in her belly. Her lips spread in a smile as her eyes glistered at the sight of the man who wouldn't leave her thoughts.The coffee stain from the previous night had dried on his shirt and was looking like the painting of the storm she knew was brewing for her because of him.She moved closer and squatted beside him. She wished she could take off the shirt and clean it up for him before he would awake. Maybe the storm might disappear too.Her eyes played on him, running through from his face to his arm.Suddenly, Cruz's eyes popped open.Lima quickly stood up."Hi" she said softly.Cruz smiled as he sat
A Bizarre Proposal
Chapter Twenty Two: A Bizarre ProposalA knock suddenly rattled her door. Her eyes fixed on the door as she stilled the chair. The door creaked open and a head poked in.The sight of Gerald would usually dull her mood, but today was different. She felt a bit pleased to see him.Gerald swung the door open full length and strolled in. Almost as though he owned the place. He had a pompous grin on his face."Good to see you bright and shining this morning... pardon, I let myself in"Lesley smiled invitingly. "It's no problem Gerald, good to have you here."Gerald was a little surprised with the warm reception. Margaret had updated him on the impending divorce, and he had anticipated a better reception than previously, but not to the degree he just experienced.After the threat from his parents, he was intent on playing along nicely. His trust was tied to a marriage, so he knew it was time to play nice until his inheritance was in the bag. Lesley was the perfect candidate for his scheme.
Services No Longer Needed
Chapter Twenty Three: Services No Longer Needed.Lesley cruised through the city in her new Porsche.Gerald sat beside her on the passenger's seat; lustfully working his eyes over her body. He would grin outrageously anytime she looked at him.Lesley reminisced to when Cruz had proposed to her.It was at an upscale restaurant in the city, but it was nothing ceremonious. A private dinner for two and a cheap gold ring was all he could afford.She believed he had spent all his savings to book the venue. She shook her head.Today, she was wearing a diamond plated ring and revving her Porsche for the same occasion. She had truly upgraded.From her side mirror, she caught sight of an approaching Bugatti, and before her thoughts were fully processed, the Bugatti had sped past.The sound of the engine dwarfed that of her Porsche even as much as she knew the price did.For a moment, Lesley wondered who owned the ride. That particular Bugatti would cost at least $7,000,000, whereas, her Porsch
Who Said You Could Leave?
Chapter twenty Four: Who Said You Could LeaveOr was the foreign Minister who was in the county for a visit a guest at the Piper's?Apart from his own family, It was only the likes of the minister that had the kind of wealth to own such a ride in Tulzar.He knew the prominent families in Cadbury and the entire Tulzar and this didn't belong in their fleet.Or was it the owner of the newly constructed BlueShield edifice?The business mogul whose identity was still a mystery.But why was he parked outside if it was him? Gerald wondered on.His eyes fixated on the vehicle until they entered the compound.Cruz had just stepped onto the front porch of the mansion when the Mercedes and Range Rover pulled into the driveway.He wasn't interested in who the visitors were so he continued into the anteroom.He rung the doorbell and some seconds later, the door swung open.Lesley looked shocked to see him. It was obvious she was expecting someone else."Hey," Cruz said and walked past her into the
Humiliated
Chapter Twenty Five: Humiliated."How about you do the kneeling." Cruz remarked with a smirk as his heel rammed Gerald.Aaaahhhhh!!!Gerald yelled in pain dropping on the floor with his buttocks.Cruz towered above him with a raised fist."Please stop!" He pleaded."Maybe a little louder" Cruz encouraged more pleas as he gestured a feigned assault."Pleasssseee, don't hurt me, Pleasssse!" Gerald cried and cowered into the wall."What a wimp!" Cruz retreated from the whimpering Gerald and shook his head. Then he turned towards Lesley."Nice upgrade, Lesley!" He said with a smirk and marched out of the place.Bill grabbed the frightened Margaret who had crashed into him. She had gathered herself to flee the room once Gerald had hit the floor.Lesley hurried to the wimpy and soiled Gerald.He covered his face in humiliation and agony as Lesley pulled him to his feet.The livingroom of the Pipers was in disarray.———Gerald looked into the mirror in his room with bloodshot eyes the momen
Majority Shareholder
Chapter Twenty Six: Majority ShareholderMoments later, a beautiful, slender and sophisticated woman entered Cruz's office. The woman who seemed like she would be in her mid thirties looked smart and collected in her expensive suit.Her pristine curves gave the outfit some nice contours.She stood a little nervous in front of Cruz as she bowed slightly.———BILL LOGISTICS LLCLesley wandered back and forth restlessly in her office. The event of the previous night was still fresh in her head.It was as if she was reliving the moment over and over again.Was that Cruz? What had possessed him with so much power and skill?Those yoga retreats he always attended, was that what he had been up to? Learning martial arts?How come he never showed that side of himself?The man was so sleek and masterful with how he dispatched the bodyguards who had both ended up in the ICU.Oh! how ashamed she had felt for chosing Gerald over him. The man might be broke, but he had held his own perfectly so far
Bill Doesn't Own It
Chapter Twenty Seven: Bill Doesn't Own It.The other shareholders were left to rue in wonderment who the anonymous majority holder was. Why did he/she allow Bill to fill his position all along? Not even changing the name of the company? They couldn't understand the whole idea.And to think that Bill knew he held just a small portion of the shares and acted like he was the boss?No one could have suspected otherwise because the company carried his name.But who would allow anyone such privilege? Or was it someone with a criminal record or something to hide?If he had a criminal record, he wouldn't be able to invest legally. And Bill Logistics was a legal entity. The regulatory authorities must know real identity and have his authentic details. So it had to be a credible individual.—The many questions remained in the minds of the shareholders as Eva continued with her assignment.All eyes stayed on Bill all through the meeting. Bill's face had become ashen and inclined downwards
Desperation
Chapter Twenty Eight: DesperationMayor Philip observed Bill closely. He noticed he was a bit nervous."So, this expansion project will cost about a hundred million?" Phillip wanted to be sure he understood Bill well."A hundred and twelve million actually... I want to wrap up the deal with my new partners as soon as possible." Bill explained."Oh! And the share holders at Bill Logistics can't raise that?" Philip inquired, brows raised."I am looking to build new partnerships. I don't want to involve the share holders... Let's just say I'm branching out from logistics and the share holders are okay with the status quo." Bill presented. He was trying to sound as casual as possible, so Philip doesn't notice the panic in his voice."Very well... so you want me to buy twenty percent from the seventy five percent volume you control so you can have enough funds for your new project?""Precisely!" Bill responded a little bit too enthusiastically."Can I have a look at the shares certificate?
I Want Him Maimed
Chapter Twenty Nine: I Want Him Maimed.Gerald's face wore a puzzled look. His nerves were starting to give, not sure of how he was known.Scupio sensed his tension and softened into a grin"Relax, my friend..." He said, waving his hand to dismiss any fear in Gerald."I see you once or twice with my gals... You, the Mayor's son, correct?"Gerald nodded.He could tell how Scupio knew him. He patronized escorts and scupio ran an escort service. To put it plainly, Scupio was a pimp."I know your father too... A bit personal...The man...Mmm" A wry smile played on scupio's lips. Then he made a gesture of keeping his mouth zipped when he saw Gerald's curiosity peeked at the mention of his father."So, tell me, what can I do for you?" Scupio quizzed, his expression business-like once again.Gerald produced a picture of Cruz and placed it on the table."I want him held and tortured... I want him maimed...crippled... handicapped...I need to make him feel humiliated and afraid, begging for his
I Thought You Cared For My Daughter.
Chapter Thirty: I Thought You Cared For My Daughter.Lesley shuddered at the sound of the blow.Whooo!Another one flew in fast, but Bill quickly caught Margaret's hand."What are you doing?" Bill struggled to keep her still."You bastard! You've been lying to me all these years!" Margaret faught to free her hands."How did I lie to you, Margie?" Bill quizzed as they both struggled on the spot."That's enough, mom! Fighting will not fix this!" Lesley uttered, horrified at the altercation."She's right, Margie," Bill said, panting; grateful that Lesley was intervening.Margaret disengaged from Bill, freeing her hands from his grip."Tell me it's not true Bill, that you don't own the company..." Margaret yelled as she stood defiant in his way.Just then, the new housekeeper poked her head into the livingroom from the hallway. Bill could see her from his vantage position and a flush of discomfort stained his face, adding to the red handprint on his cheek.The housekeeper quickly drew ba
