On the night of her graduation, Elle lost her mum and her best friend Ethan went missing. Her mum's death was strange. She was found dead and dry, with no blood in her when an autopsy was conducted. The only injury on her was two tiny dots on her neck. How she died, she didn't know. But everything pointed to Ethan. Elle had left him with her mum that night, only to come back to meet the worst scenario that tormented her life. This happened five years ago when at the age of eighteen, she moved on and re-established her mum's business known as EL corporations. Now 23 years old, her nightmares started again when Ethan came back. ~~EXCERPT~~ Her emotions swirled all over the place. She was still the stupid Elle. She trusted people easily, but what did they do? They pay her back with heartache and pain. "Elle, I warn you," He said slowly walking toward her like the predator he was. Elle gazed fiercely at him "What are you going to do? Lock me up? Or drink me to death.?!" Ethan smiled, the smile that weakened her bones, that shook her very core and being. "Elle, if you run, I chase, and if I catch?" He took her by the waist and pulled her to him. Their body was so close that his hot breath fanned her neck turning her red. Ethan's hand tightened around her waist "You make me lose my sanity Elle, do you know that?" He bent toward her inhaling her sweet scent that always invaded his senses. Elle's eye's turned wild "Let me go this instant!" Ethan's eye's darkened when he gazed down at her luscious red lips. Before he knew it, his mouth captured her lips in a warm sweet kiss.

LAST EMBRACE Chapter 8: Make Them Pay.
After Elle left the Galla party, the event ended after an hour. Ethan's dejected look was hidden behind the thick mask of his stoic business face he showed people who approached him in the hope to become business partners with him. The conversation between them was brief and straight to the point leaving them no room to discuss business with him. With his mood already sour because of the terrible encounter with Elle, he wanted nothing to do with these people who coated their scornful attitudes with their deceptive smiles. After all, he didn't come back to this city for any business. He could have continued staying in city A if not that he wanted Elle back. He didn't like the way they met each after so many years of staying apart. He had to admit, Elle had grown into a very beautiful and seductive woman. Seeing her up close even for short time was better than seeing her on TV or in magazines where the news about her flourishing company was always the first thing on every headline. Up
LAST EMBRACE Chapter 7: Turn down of events.
The light suddenly went off and then slowly went back on again on the stage. The man that was speaking was now replaced by a man in a well-tailored black suit. He stood tall and strong with a heavy dangerous aura around him. Everyone was speechless as they silently watched the man who stood like a god on the stage. His manly features captivated and took the heart of every female in the hall. He was the center of attraction as the cameramen took pictures and videos of him. The man earlier returned to give him the microphone before stepping down the stage leaving Ethan at the center. "Good evening everyone" He spoke. His voice resonated around the hall sending shivers down the spine of everyone especially Elle who sat transfixed as she stared at the man in front of her. Were her eyes playing jokes with her or was the man on the stage the same boy she grew up with? The man she had been looking for? Was that Ethan, the Ethan she knew? Her hands terribly shook. Never i

"I think Ethan Cephas is a ghost" Immediately those words left Elle's mouth, everywhere turned quiet. Even the cameramen stopped taking pictures. People that were close enough to hear what Elle said were all shocked as they stared in disbelief with their mouths open. Mia stood transfixed for some minutes before she came out of her trance, she nudged Elle's arm "Elle, what did you say? Just say it was a mistake" She silently whispered for only Elle to hear. Nevertheless, others heard what she said. Soon, everyone started whispering. The TV presenter who was interviewing Elle turned to her co-worker "Did I hear right? She said Ethan Cephas is a ghost. Does she mean ghost in a dark world or another way of calling him invincible?" "Of course, I heard what she said. Everyone did, but then, it might be her way of calling him invincible since this is the first time he's making his presence known" Her co-worker whispered back. The TV presenter cleared her throat before
LAST EMBRACE Chapter 5: The gala 1, Ethan Cephas is a ghost.
The day of the gala came. Elle and Mia were already at the Spa pampering their skin. Everywhere was bustling with activity. Different companies were all talking about Ethan's corporation that was going to host the gala party tonight. TV and radio stations were also prepared. Some top TV stations showed the highlights of Ethan's corporations. Everyone anticipated the showdown of the business tycoon as it was termed. Not to forget the ladies were all ready to snatch the man. They all imagine what he would look like, the most handsome man, their god of beauty. The ones that were able to attend either because of the family connection, flaunted the invitation to their friends. Those that were not invited were all swimming in the sea of jealousy. Like many ladies, Mia was the most excited as she kept on talking about Ethan in the spa. The attendants seemed to enjoy her little gossip as they glued their ears to her talk, sometimes her asking questions too. Elle could onl
LAST EMBRACE Chapter 4: Man on the hood
After the day's work, Elle took her bag and went home. The home that was too cold and lonely for her. Everything stood watching her with no life. She couldn't talk to anyone, the only people she expressed her thoughts and fears to was Mia and Daniel. Other than them, she was left alone in the world. Her dad died when she was just a little kid around 10 years. And now the only person that was left also died leaving her alone in this cruel world. Entering her villa, she dropped her bag on the sofa. She removed her shoes and her suit jacket. She had won her limited edition suit to work today, looking elegant and beautiful as always. Taking her bag and shoe in her left hand and her jacket in the other hand she left for her room. Nobody was living with her in the huge mansion, the only people that came and went were the cook and the cleaner. They always came in the morning and left in the evening. Daniel had asked her to hire a maid that will live with her. At least
LAST EMBRACE Chapter 3 : Famous Ethan
⁂Chapter 3⁂ ********* ** ******** Elle returned to the office after an hour where Daniel had dropped her off before leaving. She went back to her office, each step she took felt heavy on her chest as she remembered the man that was looking at her. Why did she have a feeling it was Ethan? Maybe she was now hallucinating with the thoughts of meeting Ethan that filled her mind. She entered her office. This was like a second home to her. The office looked comfortable with the warm colors that added to the beauty. The ceilings were painted white and the walls red. The floor was black and light red. The sofas were also red. No doubt the office had more red colors because the owner loved red. Elle sat down on her seat, swirling it after she had gulped down two cups of water to calm her jittery nerves. She was thinking too much into this. Who wouldn't? After all, this was about her safety and also about the death of her mother
LAST EMBRACE Chapter 2 : The Cold Man
⁂Chapter 2⁂ ********* ** ******** In a spacious cold office. A hand vigorously typed on the keyboard. The hand is long and slender with beautifully manicured fingernails. The expression on the owner's face was cold, no doubt the office was cold too. Everything about the office was dark and cold. The sofa, curtains, marble floor, the ceilings were painted black. Even the painting on the wall was black. On one side of the wall hung a large framed picture of a man with red eyes. The dark grey suit on his well-built body made him look evil and dangerous. Looking closely at the picture, you will see the long sharp fangs that slightly came out from the man's open mouth. The aura that surrounded him screamed danger and respect. The man in the picture on the wall was the same man who was in the office typing without looking at the computer screen. He typed a series of codes that comprised of letters, numbers, and sometimes

⁂Chapter 1⁂ ********* ** ******** "I'm scared Daniel. I'm scared something will happen sooner or later" "You worry for nothing Elle. I'm here and nothing will happen to you. Even if he comes back, I won't allow any harm to come to you" Daniel said placing his hand on Elle's shoulder to have her turn to face him. Elle gave him a tight smile. "Thanks, Danny. The fear is always here but with you here, I'll be alright" "You shouldn't thank me. You know I will do anything for you" Daniel said smiling at her "How about we go out for lunch?" "Fine with me" Elle replied going to take her bag. They left the building after Elle gave instructions to her assistant Mia on what to do. Everyone bowed at them as they made their way out of the building. Elle is a 23-year-old businesswoman known across the country and abroad as the youngest female billionaire. She attained such great height in business after she re-established her mother's business popularly known as EL corporations a
