Ria opened her mouth to speak but she couldn't form any words. The way Chris had sounded so panicked and urgent made her think something fishy was up. He had told her to stay right where she was and she wasn't sure if he was near her or not.

“Miss Ria…” Dan called out again, bringing her to her senses. “You can get out of the car now.”

“Uhmm…no.” She shook her head. “I think I'll stay in the car.”

Dan frowned, not liking the sound of that. That wasn't how he had planned this and he took a few moments to think, and seeing the way Ria was so resolute, he put his hand on the doorknob, wanting to open the door.

“What are you doing?” Ria was shocked, immediately locking the door with the speed of light.

“You have to get down, Miss Ria! I brought you here, shouldn't you be grateful?” Dan asked, glaring at her as he started to bang on the door.

Ria started to panic, looking around to check if Chris was coming for her. She started to blame and chastise herself for following Dan to this

  • Albert’s Grievance

    Albert was on the verge of punching Walker in the face with veins bulging in his neck, straining down to his tightened fists. Everything in his life had started to go downhill ever since that party the Rice family held. Chris Westminster showed up, Albert was rushed out to the hospital and then his CEO position was lost, not to even Baron but a forgotten stone in the family. Walker!Now, right in the CEO’s office which had been his more than twice, Walker asked him to step out. A brother they all looked down upon was now the cornerstone. It was an insult!“Aren't you going to leave?” Walker asked harshly. “If you don't leave soon, Albert, I am calling the security on you. It wouldn't be nice for the workers to see you being carried out, would it?”Alber let out a sigh, bearing the agony and fury he held inside. “No, it wouldn't be nice…” He shook his head. “This is not your fault, Albert. Father caused this!” He hissed before storming out of the office. If his father, the patriarch

  • Tricia’s Rashness

    A devilish smile crossed Chris’ face as Baron instructed his wife on everything to do. However, the minute she would end the call, she would go straight to that damned brother, Albert. Something Chris had predicted. “She is going to do all you want,” Baron said seriously, not daring to play games with Chris again. “As long as she follows our instructions.” Chris smiled, but he knew his rash wife would never do so. The instruction was to lead them to the bugging device, but Chris had made Baron purposely mention Albert. Before he would intrude into the patriarch’s privacy, he wanted to cause a bit of trouble and then he would use it for his own good. “But…” Baron was nervous, staring at the gun in Chris’ hand. Even though the gun was not pointed at his head anymore, just a slight trigger in whatever direction could cause harm to his already frail body. “Why did you have me mention Albert? What else do you want aside from the bugging device?” He asked, fearing that his wife would r

  • Albert, My Brother

    Late into the night, the doctor had finished his overall check-up on Baron’s health and he only needed to rest for a little while.Chris had immediately ordered a few maids to clean him up and he was sent to the building behind the main Westminster mansion. Now, they were all seated, watching Baron as he leaned on the bedstand. “You should start spilling the information, shouldn't you?” Chris demanded. He folded his arms, waiting, and he was ready to dish his next set of orders as long as Baron would cooperate. And if he wouldn't, he would get rid of him silently. “Get…get my wife…” Baron whispered, his chest heaving up and down just from those few words he said. “I know…you can’t let me out of here but my wife can certainly lead you on how to access the bug.”There was a ray of hope in his heart, thinking as long as Chris believed him enough to get him out of that house, Chris would believe him again and contact his wife. A frown marred Chris’ face due to that. Bringing in more p

  • Escaping By A Nick Of Time

    The sound of the police sirens whirled through the dark night. Mars had made sure to go far away, from the house, so Chris’ men wouldn't discover him there. Now, he sat in one of the police cars, riding on the cocktail that he was about to apprehend Chris. He couldn't fathom just how much the patriarch would reward him, after all, Baron, his son couldn't even do anything damaging to Chris. The thought that the patriarch might even treat him like a worthy son, was thrilling. “Is this the location?” The police asked as they approached the house. “Yes.” Mars nodded. “Can you turn off the sirens? We shouldn't alert the goons inside.”The policemen silently listened to him but as they approached the house, Mars frowned, trouble whirling in his mind. Chris’ car which was parked at the entrance of the building was nowhere to be found. When he watched Chris interrogate Baron earlier, he was sure Chris wouldn't be leaving anytime soon. Even though he had witnessed a large part of their con

  • Broken Soul

    “Welcome, boss!” The men all bowed as soon as they saw Chris and they didn't dare to look him in the face. They remained bowing until Chris waved his hand in dismissal. “I brought him here just to be safe. This place cannot be tracked easily.” Rico explained as he ushered Chris into the house. It was dark in there and they passed through a few doors and rooms before they finally got to where Baron was. However, the stench coming from the room made Chris know that Baron had been in hell all this while. “I made sure he rotted in there.” Rico smiled smiled nervously. “Just losing the CEO position isn't enough punishment for what he did to you. I couldn't just let him enjoy his life.”“I understand.” Chris nodded with an approving gaze. He was grateful that Rico Axe was loyal to him and always looking out for him. However, when he stepped into the room, he never expected what he saw. He had seen prisoners being tortured back at their mafia base but this was on a whole new level. “Wha

  • Following Chris

    “How did it go?” Chris asked as he scrolled through a few documents on his phone. He was particularly concerned about how Mars had reacted to the order he gave. “We have nothing from him. After he left the meeting room, he disappeared.” Rico Axe said. “He just disappeared?” Chris raised a brow in question. “Yes!” Rico nodded. “Can you find more information on him? Something about him just ticks me off. His sudden appearance is suspicious.” Chris demanded, his gaze turning dim in thought. “Alright. I will do that.” Rico nodded. “Also, the police have requested your presence.” “Why?” Chris frowned. “Reid is yet to be found and they are asking if you can give them any information. They need you in for questioning tomorrow.”“Hmm…” Chris frowned, feeling like something was off. He didn't think Reid had the resources to hide so well but. He could decide to mobilize his men to look for Reid but it could interfere with the police work. However, on his end, Reid was a ticking time bom
