"You belong only to me, Mabel and if you try to run, I'll kidnap you and lock you up till all you can think about is me," he promised her and her heart skipped a beat at his words. She was appalled, his words weren't supposed to affect her. Christian Romero, the most powerful man in the country, was supposed to be a mission to Mabel. All she had to do was to get him to fall in love with her and then destroy him to save the lives of her family. How hard could it be? He however turns out to be the arrogant stranger whom she assaulted and who promised her revenge. To make matters worse, she finds herself falling for the same man she was supposed to destroy. Her family or the man she loved, she had to choose one and lose one. Wasn't there a way she could have it all and finally be happy?
View MoreMabel read the message over and over again, desperately hoping that she had read wrong but no matter how many times she did, the contents remained the same. Her father had sent her a message through an unknown number asking her to do the unthinkable and in the message, he said if she did what he asked, he would finally release her grandparents from where he had been keeping them captive. This was all she had ever wanted since he took them away from her because they had dared to help her, but at what cost? This went against everything she stood for and she would never be able to live with herself if she did it. How would she be able to take the life of the man she had started developing feelings for? Her father’s message was simple and clear, it was for her to take the drink that a waiter would offer to her and feed it to Christian. Even though her father hadn’t explicitly stated that the drink would kill him, following the events that had happened and how much she knew her father,
“Try to quit being a player and watch as you change into a better person,” Christian jabbed at the man. He was the youngest son of one of the famous producers in the entertainment industry. However, unlike his hardworking father, all he did was lavish his father’s money on girls and expensive things.“How about I have a taste of your woman before I quit,” he said as a joke. However, the same couldn’t be said for Christian who almost attacked the man if not for Mabel’s intervention.“It’s fine, I’m not offended,” Mabel said as she held Christian’s hand. Christian, however, wasn't ready to let it slide. “You seem to have forgotten my reputation and what I can do to you and your ‘daddy’,” he growled in anger as his eyes darkened. “I’m sorry, I was being foolish,” the man immediately apologized.“Scram,” Christian ordered and the man didn’t need to be told twice as he and his date immediately left, leaving only Christian and Mabel at the table. “You didn’t have to scare him off like t
Upon hearing what Reginald said, Mabel realized that meant either her father or her brother would be at the party and her eyes unconsciously scanned the hall looking for either of the two. She however didn’t find them as it was a big hall and there were many guests. By the time she returned her attention to her table, Reginald and Kate were already on their feet.“You look good, Miss Pearson,” Reginald complimented her before turning to leave and as soon as they were gone, Mabel heaved a sigh of relief as she had made it out alive. The wedding reception started soon after and it was all fun and partying. Christian, however, didn't get up from his seat and Mabel was happy about that. Her eyes went over to the bride and groom who were busy dancing with their friends and she smiled as it was a beautiful sight. However, she had no intention of ever getting married especially when she remembered that her mother getting married, destroyed her life and that of her daughter.Christian on
“Mom, did you see what I just saw?” Kendra asked, wanting to be sure she had seen right. There was no way, the person who passed by them, was Mabel, it was just not possible.“Let’s take this inside,” Claire said, as she smiled for the cameras before going inside the building. As soon as they were away from the cameras, a deep frown appeared on her face over what she had just witnessed. Just yesterday, she and Anthony had gone over to her house to see her after being unable to reach only one for them to notice Christian’s car in front of her house. Her fears were coming true. Mabel was indeed getting Christian to fall for her and the girl herself confirmed it when she texted her father this morning, telling him that she was at Christian’s house. And if Claire had any doubts about it, what she just witnessed, had cleared every single one of those doubts. Everyone knew how much Christian wasn’t interested in being in a relationship. The fact that he brought Mabel to the wedding, ins
Without saying anything to the team, he led her out of the room as they were already running late.His phone rang before he could say anything to Mabel and he had to answer as it was a call from his dad. “Yes, Dad, I'm about to leave,” Mabel heard Christian say and it made her realize that he was talking to his father. It wasn’t until they got to the car did he get off the phone.“Good, now that we’re here, let’s lay some ground rules,” He turned to face her, and Mabel’s heart sank as she had expected him to compliment her. It wasn’t every day she looked this stunning.“Number one, you’re there to act as my date and your main duty is to keep other women as far away from me as possible,” he started.“I can’t control what they do or do not do,” Mabel pointed out. She was a nobody, a pest at the bottom of the rich chain, there was no way she would be able to do what Christian was asking her. “I don’t care how you do it, just make sure no one tries to flirt with me, or else, it’s coming
“Don’t you dare,” Christian warned Dorian, who was about to say something. Knowing how his brother’s mind walked, he knew that Dorian was about to make an annoying remark and he wasn’t in the mood for it.“Good morning, Miss Pearson,” Dorian greeted, ignoring his brother’s warning. “Good morning, sir,” Mabel responded, just as she got to where they were. Dorian was about to say more when his phone rang. As soon as he saw who was calling, the excited expression changed to a frown. “Excuse me,” he said and immediately left, much to Christian’s relief. “What happened to him?” Mabel wondered. “Why not worry about yourself,” Christian said, and his words earned him a subtle glare from Mabel. The head helper came into view and she greeted Christian.“Have the team arrived?” He asked her, to which the elderly woman shook her head.Christian then turned to face Mabel, who was confused. “I’ll send you a number, call, and tell them that if they are not here within the next ten minutes, they
Even though the weather was cold, Mabel felt hot because of the current position she was in. Was Christian really trying to make her fall more for him? If that was his goal, then he was succeeding as she felt her heart pounding in her chest and her cheeks turned red as various erotic images came to her head. Mabel wanted to get out of her bed and at the same time, she wanted to remain in her position. She was sleeping in Christian's arms and she was unable to believe it. Her mind was going crazy with different wild thoughts and they did nothing to help her throbbing core. She pinned underneath him, scratching his back as he pounded mercilessly into her tight cunt. She blushed furiously at her brazen thoughts. She had been starved of sex for too long and that was the only reason why she was imagining such. “Stop moving and go to sleep, Pearson,” she heard Christian mumble sheepishly to her. That was what she was trying to do but how was she supposed to do so when all she could thi
Christian turned his head towards Mabel who was sleeping peacefully on his chest with no care in the world. She was really brave to do so when he was a devil who could easily burn her. She was unable to speak clearly after revealing what condition she had. He guessed that whatever she wanted to tell him had something to do with her family but she hadn't yet gathered the courage to do so.Before he knew it, when he bent his head to check her after minutes of silence, he saw that she was asleep and before he could react she snuggled closer to him and held him so tight, it was like she thought he would run away from her.Her answer to his question the previous night plagued Christian’s mind. Mabel’s grandparents’ lives were at stake and yet, she was not going to carry out her father's orders. He looked down at her and he gently stroked her face. ‘You make it hard for me to destroy you,’ he whispered to the sleeping Mabel.How was he supposed to destroy a woman who was ready to be destr
“What’s wrong, sir?” Mabel, who was beside him, asked when she saw a change in Christian’s expression. He had been fine just a few minutes ago and now, he had a frown on his face after receiving the call. “Work, nothing I can’t handle,” Christian lied, and he schooled his expression back to normal. “Now, let’s get back to the fact that you were a scared cat,” he smirked, hoping she didn’t really think he would let go of his chance to mock her."Hey, it's not funny," Mabel scolded Christian, frowning at him for making fun of her while her face became red with embarrassment. However, Mabel's comment just made Christian laugh even harder."Ahh," Christian imitated Mabel's expressions whenever the terrifying scenes came up, and he watched her turn into the same colour as a tomato as she was unable to retort.‘You’re the worst,’ Mabel muttered under her breath but Christian heard her.Silence ensued after that, but it wasn’t uncomfortable, as both of them were comfortable with the other’s
