"Who sent you? " a big blow was delivered to a guy's face, his face was bleeding out blood, but yet he wasn't ready to spill out a word. If there was anything Ryan hated was repeating himself twice, but this dude before him was stepping on his nerve. "You have only one chance!" as he spoke Roy knew what was happening next as he cocked his gun. "One fucking chance and I'm not going repeat, you know what to say" The warning was clear. "Who do you think is the reason behind it? Do you really think I'm going to be so stupid to spill out a word to you? Ryan Lancaster, a successful businessman, dangerous to the core, no assassin would want to step in his toe. But why do you think I dared to? I don't mind dying without spilling a damn word to you" the guy spoke to him. Ryan paused for a while, he was calculating his statement in his head. Anyone would see it as a mere word of ridicule, but he saw beyond that. "Shoot!" he ordered Roy, as he winked at Roy. "Stop!!! That was
Shannon felt her breath seize for a moment as she stared into the face of her helper. Masked face, and a well-shaped beard, were the only sight she could view from his face. But there was something familiar about this guy, he have this striking aura compared to someone she knew. The familiar mint and mixed scent Cologne hits her nose, she could recall that body cologne from anywhere. That was the same cologne that usually sends cold shivers running through her body. That body was the same that had always made her wet just as she was getting now. This person was no other person than Ryan, Shannon needed no one to tell her. But why was he wearing a mask? She thought, as her eyes peered into the mask he was putting on. His long stride is enough to tell her that he was him. At that moment even if she was having any iota of doubt, a memory flashed across her head as she remembered back then when she was still working as a secretary for the Lancaster, she could remember that fate
After the meeting had ended, Shannon wasn't ready to leave yet, she had to make sure her guests were the first to leave, but damn that rule, she had her target oriented. Immediately Mr. Walton was about to step out of the meeting board room, Shannon took it as her initiative to grab the bull by its horn. She walked up to him and then spoke, "Hi, Sir. Please if you don't mind sparing five minutes of your time, I'd appreciate " Shannon spoke cautiously. He turned with his mask facing her, Shannon could barely make the expression he had on his face because of the mask that clad his face. "Okay? Do you have any questions?" the deep baritone voice queried, now this was quite different from Ryan's voice entirely. Maybe she was hallucinating or perhaps she was just too obsessed with Ryan that she couldn't differentiate others. And lately, she had truly discovered that she was always comparing each guy she comes across with Ryan, she didn't know what to call that syndrome. "I'm
Shannon rushed inside the Lancaster firm and she hurriedly took the elevator to Ryan's office.Immediately she came out from the elevator, she hurried to Ryan's office, Shannon was expecting to see Ben outside in his office, but glancing at her left there was no sight of him. So, instead, she ran inside Ryan's office without knocking. One minute she was running, the next she was breathing heavily, her chest was heaving as she stopped right on her track, her gaze narrowed to the handsome hot dude that looks hotter sitting on his couch. He wasn't looking like someone that was in trouble, aside from the light frown she had caught momentarily on his face which was now replaced with a flabbergasted look. Why did she leave her office in the first place? The thought suddenly rang in her ear. "Oh damn! Maybe, Ben had wanted to tell her something else and then she had taken the wrong motive thinking someone was in danger" she thought to herself. It dawned entirely on Shannon when Ry
His scent filled her nose, he was always having a wild effect on her. She was battling on keeping her eyes away from his face and staring at him. She was tempted, she wanted to observe his features, she wanted to stare deeply into his eyes. "You don't have any words to say?" his voice became husky sending cold shivers running down her spine. Shannon felt her breath increasing as he walks closer to her, with each step he took forward, she moved backward until she felt her back resting on the wall. His strong hands rested on the wall as he caged her in his net, she had to succumb all hopes of fighting were in vain. "I didn't come to see you if that is what you are thinking" she stuttered, her voice cracking as she spoke honestly. She watched as he flashed her those charming smiles of his, his diastema was in full view. He has a nice laugh, just that he frowns too often. "I wished you were here, and sometimes wishes do come true lollipop" his husky voice spoke. "What do y
Shannon was lost for words as she widened, she felt her chest leaping out for joy, and the butterflies in the pit of her tummy were swarming happily. "Since this morning, I hadn't been able to do a single thing, I couldn't call you because of my action in the morning" he went further... As he spoke, his voice was shaky, and she noticed he was nervous, and she was tempted to hug him and assure him that she would always be there for him. "I don't know what you've done to me, or how you entered into my heart and managed to steal my cold-hearted heart! I can't tell" Shannon was scared of where this conversation was leading to, she was afraid to hear him say she should walk out. How could she tell him that she had been thinking of him all day too that she had almost passed Mr. Walton as him? She couldn't hide this anymore, the feelings were there, she knew it. But she was scared, she had been scared just like she was now, that he was going to openly reject her if she should open
After Shannon left his office, she couldn't help but ponder at his words. He had really confessed his feelings for her? So, what were they? The question popped up in her head. "Take it slowly, I think you're too fast" Her subconscious warns. She was damn too excited, for too very long as she smiled from ear to ear. Shannon rolled on her bed as her phone beeped, "Hi Cupcake" her text read, a wide smile formed on her lips as she texted back. "Hello Prince Charming" coming up with a pet name for him wasn't that hard, but her main concern was how he was going to react to it. Would he be pleased or rather squeeze that his handsome face into a frown? Her subconscious thought. "Prince charming? Well, that isn't bad. I. Love that" he texted back, Shannon beamed as she read his text. "Are you home yet?" Shannon stretched on the bed, her face was still beaming widely. "Yes, came back an hour ago. I'm currently on my bed about to sleep" She texted back. "How bout a quick ho
"Hello, Mr. Anderson" Elizabeth Roderick greeted as she sashayed into his office.Even at her advanced age, she knows how to play her game right. Call her the mistress of seduction. She was perfect.The gown she wore was exposing part of her hips as she pulled out a chair. The old man had his eyes fixed on her as if observing her every move, His thought was clouded on why the Lancaster had visited him in his office that morning. For the past weeks, his secretary had informed him that Mrs. Elizabeth had always come in search of him. Well, due to his busy schedule, he had always postponed their meeting. Glaring at her, she was still looking as young as in her twenties, as hot as a young model. She must have put in so much effort in her body to look that good. Her tinted hair made him realize she was actually putting on a wig. "How may I help you, Mrs.Lancaster?" he asked adjusting his glasses as he placed his hands on his table folding or together, his attention fully on he
