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
"Bitch! Did you prepare my breakfast already?" Reuben yelled as he grabbed her by her hair. "Yes, it's already on the table" She replied as she pointed toward the dinner table. "You have your ass saved" he grumbled as he walk down to the table. "Have you taken any meal yet? Not like I care about you. I just want that child in you in great shape, I wouldn't want an assumed Lancaster Baby to be looking sick and pale" "Yes, I ate already" Carolyn replied, her gaze fixed to the floor. "Not like I care anyways, I need to use the restroom" He excused himself as he walks away. Carolyn sighed, was this how her life was going to be? Being treated like a slave in his house and have her life limited.For the past weeks, she could barely tell what the outside world looks like. She walked down outside to get fresh air before her captor returned. As she walk outside, she suddenly heard a rustling noise behind her, and she turned to look at what was behind her. She felt someone
Seated around in the Lancaster big round table were Ryan, his Grandfather, and his Stepmother. Ryan had never waited for anything in his life just the way he was waiting now. He wanted to end this charade and have a resting space, which he knows he wasn't going to get of course. Soon, the door of the sitting room flew open as Reuben walked inside the room. Reuben wasn't expecting to see a full member of the family awaiting for his return, he knew Ryan as a man who never had that patience. So, he figured that everything was not alright. As he walked closer to the table, "Sit!" his Grandfather ordered, who was he to object? He thought as he pulled out one chair, his eyes diverting to his mother who could barely say a word and wasn't in her usual state of mind. "Whatever this was, he sincerely hopes that they don't hurt his mother. "Is everything alright?" he dared to ask, the cold glare he got in return from Ryan answered his question. "I doubt that Reuben, is there anythin
Reuben was very furious as he stormed out of the house, as a punishment for his actions, his Grandfather had detained everything owned for two months. His car, house, and even his account were frozen. This was the worst punishment ever. "You just stood there, Mum. Not even one word in my defense" Reuben yelled at his mother once they were inside their room. Elizabeth cast a glance at her son, how would she dare say a word at his defense when Ryan have her sex tape, that would of course tarnish her reputation if he choose to use it against her. So, she has to play to his tune. "Serves you right, I actually thought that child was yours. You keep bringing misfortunes to me, can't you be like Ryan for once? I desperately want to be that proud mother that would watch her son successfully boost their family. But instead, you choose to be a nuisance. Reuben was taken aback as he heard his mother speak, What went wrong? He thought. This wasn't the same woman that was taking his bac
