A Paradise Called Us 12-On Fire
Elliot was going through his phone, searching for a possible match on a dating site when he saw a couple of female workers giggling sheepishly at something they found on their cellphones.Sitting back, he realized that everyone at the office seemed to be giggling into their phone especially the female workers.Due to this, he left the dating site and moved on to social media for the latest news and the first thing that popped up on his feed was the arrogant face of Kevin against that of an innocent, and beautiful woman Elliot had never seen before.His muscles tensed as he scrolled through and realized that Kevin was the trending topic. Everyone was talking about the much anticipated wedding and only few were able to question the suddenness of the marriage.The spinsters who had their eyes on Kevin complained bitterly of Kevin picking a low class lady as his wife. Many people attributed it to the fact that Kevin was only trying to make Selene, his true love, jealous while others saw t
A Paradise Called Us 13-For a position
Karen was glad when the closing hour arrived. She immediately placed every message that was dropped for the CEO on his desk and waited few minutes before picking up her bag and walking out of the building.However, her way was blocked by three ladies."Seems like being a whore really pays off, huh?" the one in front said and was backed by two other ladies."I don't understand?""You don't?" she scoffed "F*cking with Mr Daniels and managed to climb your way up to the target- Kevin Kord.""I did none of that, now if you would excuse me," Karen made a move to leave however they stopped her again.One of them yanked her handbag to the floor, with her things scattering all over the ground. Karen kept her cool although, her breathing was becoming ragged and uneven. Her face turned pale."How dare you sneak right up under our noses while pretending to be a simple, unproblematic low-class girl when you're infact a desperate woman!" Claire said"She must have gone miles proving her self just s

The next day, Karen walked into Mr Daniels office by noon on his call. "Sir, you had-" Karen began the moment she stepped foot into the office however a hand clasped over her wrist and pulled her in forcefully, after which the door was shut close.Karen gave him a confused look. Handing out the documents in her hand she said,"Sir, is something the matter?"She had barely finished when he snatched the documents from her hand, causing them to fall on the ground. Holding his phone in front of her, he said,"What is this?!"It was exactly the same picture that Sam showed her yesterday. Karen was rendered speechless. She didn't expect that the camera would capture her almost perverted look at Kevin Kord."What? Cat got your tongue??" Daniel slid his phone into his pocket "When you rejected my advances you could have told me that you were among the ladies waiting on Kevin's bed!""Please, Mr Daniels" Karen's voice quivered "I hate to disrespect you. Don't make me.""You have to give me an

Aunt Maya ushered Mrs Kord into the house and helped her with the loads of shopping bags."What are these, Marie??" thinking it was for the household, Amaya added "It is not necessary, Marie. I cannot accept these from you."Mrs Kord placed them on the center table and turned back at Amaya with a smile on her face. "What do you mean, Amaya?? It's for my daughter in law. Tomorrow's the engagement.""I promised to cover all of the expenses, don't feel like you owe me Amaya."Checking out the bags, Amaya returned a gleeful smile to her friend. "They're all pretty. I'm sure Karen will love them.""Speaking of her, I haven't seen her?" Mrs Kord looked around the house."She's-"Zachary strode out of his room and stopped in front of the women, "It's been an hour, Karen's not back yet."Realizing the tensed atmosphere, Aunt Maya casually smiled"It's nothing to be worried about, she probably closed later than usual.""That's what I thought but her cellphone isn't going through," Zachary repl
A Paradise Called Us 16-Just a finger
Her face aflame, Karen was in a daze. Whoever this is, he certainly had a grudge against Kevin."Relax, don't be scared yet" his grip tightened on her hair and Karen winced in pain "I won't hurt you, at least not if you do what I'm asking you to do.""I..I love Kevin," Karen said "Why are you asking me to..to break the engagement?"The figure slowly let go off her hair and grabbed her neck instead, Karen began to choke as she kicked her legs."I'm the wrong person to joke with," his deep voice resonated in the dark room "I don't give a damn if you're in love with him!""Ah!" He released his grip and watched Karen cough terribly, "Or would you rather choose your love for him over your family??" the voice asked "Huh? Do you not love your Aunt Maya?? Would you want to see her dead-"Karen shrieked, "Don't you dare! Don't you dare involve my family! I don't know who you are, I have never offended you. Why are you doing this?!""Uh-huh," he hushed "Don't ever raise your voice at me. I'm
A Paradise Called Us 17-Don't Remember
The family gathered in front of the house waiting impatiently. It has been four hours since Karen got abducted and nothing has been heard.While Mrs Kord sat on the front step trying to console Aunt Maya, Zachary kept pacing and throwing a deadly gaze at Kevin. Meanwhile, Kevin was on his feet at the sound of his phone ringing.Although his guards were progressing, Karen has not been found. Kevin was loosing his cool. Earlier he had wrongly prejudiced Karen, however judging from Aunt Maya's actions since her disappearance, he knew that he'd been wrong about her. He knew how vicious Elliot can be and the feisty character of Karen was not any good. He was already thinking of involving the FBI when the time struck six. However, at that moment a black sedan pulled up in front of the house. The door jerked open and Karen was thrown, unconscious out of the car. "It's Karen!" Zachary said as he took to his heels. Everyone else followed suit."God, Karen open your eyes!" Zachary shook her
A Paradise Called Us 18-Let him kiss you
The atmosphere became tensed.In anger, Elliot dumped his suit jacket on the ground and surged towards Kevin. Mrs Kord yelled for them to stop however it seemed that Kevin was prepared for Elliot.Unexpectedly, Kevin stuck his stick out and Elliot crashed into it nose first. Groaning, Elliot held his nose with both palms as blood seeped unto the tiled floor.Kevin was not done. He left the breakfast table and sent Elliot to the ground with a punch. Mrs Kord was scared to get in the middle of the fight as she had never seen Kevin this furious. All she could do was yell for him to stop but Kevin did not.He rained punches on Elliot and when he was satisfied, he grabbed his now stained collar."You tried it with Selene and I let it pass, and then you dare to abduct an innocent woman just for your wicked schemes. You won't get away with it."Elliot began to laugh as more blood poured out from his lips. He stared up at Kevin,"You don't think that these few punches of yours will stop me fr
A Paradise Called Us 19-I'm sorry too
Karen was shocked to find Kevin. She wondered when he got there. After he closed the distance between them, Karen answered his question."He's my boss,""Do bosses kiss their employees hands??" "Wait," Karen's brow twitched "How did you know he kissed my hands?"Kevin shrugged and found his way into the house without answering her question. Karen did not think too much about it as well. Aunt Maya served Kevin and Karen hot chocolate drink."You should thank your fiancee, Karen" Aunt Maya was saying as she poured the chocolate in the mug "He had the police and his guards everywhere in Willow-ridge looking for you the moment he found that you were missing."Handing them their mugs, she continued "Immediately you arrived, he had his jacket around you as no one thought about it because we were too worried. He also found a doctor for you." Aunt Maya smiled broadly "I have no doubt that Kevin will make a good husband."Karen nodded and feigned a smile. Turning to Kevin, Aunt Maya said,"So
