A Stolen Kiss From THE CEO!

94 Four Locations With Varying Moods

It was a beautiful, calm, and bright morning. The sun brilliantly lit up the blue sky with its warm light. The bird chirped melodiously as they flew by in patterns. While the cool breeze brought happiness and tranquility to Amzone city.

Due to the glorious bright day, one could conclude that everyone in Amzone city was in a cheerful mood. However, this was not the case in four different locations.

Location 1: Leon’s Villa

The atmosphere at Leon’s Villa was cheerful and peaceful.

The previous night, Ella couldn’t believe her ears or contain her joy, when Leon showed her the text message Albert sent; agreeing to the first compensation proposal. She waited until the next day before she informed Denise of the good news.

Even though Denise was excited about the new development, she told Ella that until the court process was over, they should keep their fingers crossed. Ella accepted her suggestion and they both agreed to meet at the courthouse.

As Ella happily prepared for her first and possibly last court hearing, her mind pictured the victory ahead. She couldn’t wait to see the look on Chloe and Frost’s faces when they publicly confessed to their crime and apologize to her. She had already prepared a short but deadly speech to address their crime. “This is going to be one day to remember.” She smiled, as she stared into the vanity mirror before her, admiring her captivating reflection.

She was donned in a blush pink pantsuit, with an inner white laced camisole, paired with matching stiletto heels. The suit accentuated her hourglass curve, giving her a seductive boss lady-like look. Her hair was neatly styled in a classic updo and her ear lobes shimmered with a pair of diamond stud earrings.

.....

While Ella was busy admiring herself, she didn’t notice Leon walk into the room until he was almost close to her.

“You look amazing, my love,” Leon cooed from behind her.

“You too, sweetheart!” Ella giggled as Leon sensually placed his hands around her waist from behind, causing sparks of desire to light up in her whole body. “You look overwhelmingly handsome.” She admired his reflection. “Aren’t I lucky to have a charming prince like you?”

Ella turned around to face him. Then she wrapped her hand around his neck and stared into his glimmering eyes.

“I miss your happy smiles so much,” Leon inhaled her sweet floral fragrance. He leaned closer and kissed the tip of her nose. He wanted to badly kiss her pink luscious lips but he had no plans of ruining her makeup as time was against them.

“If you keep looking at me that way, I may just melt in your arms.” Ella’s cheek flushed due to Leon’s lustful stares.

Leon leaned closer and whispered into her left ear. “I wish we were not going out this morning.” His warm breath caused her to twitch with excitement. He trailed a finger from Ella’s pretty face, down to her neck, and stopped between her camisole cleavage. Then he fondled the top edges of the camisole. “I’ve really missed having you in my arms. It’s been two agonizing nights since we made love.” He pulled her into his arm and hugged her tightly.

Ella could feel his needs as her body molded into his arms. “How about you give me a massage after our victory dinner tonight? I really need one after all the stress.”

Leon released her from his hold. “Consider it done with a little extra! His eyes shone with excitement. “Let’s leave now, otherwise we’ll run late.”

Location 2 Frost Home:

At Frost’s home, the atmosphere was filled with bitterness and regret.

Frost woke up with a throbbing headache due to an unexplainable incident the previous night. He blinked his eyes severally to adjust his sight to the dimly lit room. He massaged his forehead and yawned due to fatigue. His mouth felt sore and his throat felt dry. He licked his cracked lips severally to moisten them, as his mind searched for answers to how he got to bed.

He remembered reading a text message from his wife, Mia. The message broke him so much that he decided to find solace in a bottle of whiskey and from then onward, everything went blank.

In the message, Mia poured out her broken heart to him. From the tone and words of the message, no one needed to explain to Frost that his marriage of twenty-five years was finally over.

The message from Mia Banter:

[Frost, how could you? Why? Why did you do this to me? What have I ever done to you to deserve this wickedness? I have been nothing but faithful and loyal to you. Three years of betrayal is just too much heartache for my pour heart to handle. Your mistress called me stupid and our precious children bastards. You even promised her to divorce me. Now, look at where you have placed us because of your greediness and wickedness. I promise you this one thing, if my children and I survive this, we will happily witness your doom.]

Frost sat up lazily on the bed and scanned his bedroom. It was partially dark. Hence, he couldn’t see clearly. “How did I get here?” He questioned himself. He raised his hands to scratch his head and felt a sharp pain behind his neck.

“Ouch! Where the hell is this pain coming from?” He tried to ransack his memory for answers. The last thing he remembered was going for another bottle of whiskey when...

“Tick tock, tick tock! Time to get ready to go to court!”.

Frost froze at the deep, raspy voice that was coming from the dark corner of his room. He blinks thrice to adjust his sight to the dimly lit room. Then a dark shadow of someone sitting suddenly stood up and walked towards him.

“Shit!” Frost flinched and attempted to flee from the shadow when he froze again due to the clicking sound of a gun.

“You have thirty minutes to get ready.” Another strange and haunted spoke.

The light in Frost’s room suddenly came on. He counted three men in dark suits and dark shades with one pointing a gun at him.

“I’m f**ked!” Frost swallowed hard.

Location 3: The Robinson’s mansion.

The atmosphere was gloomy and filled with frustration.

Chloe spent a hellish night in her father’s underground bunkroom, which was designed for enemies and traitors. She couldn’t believe her eyes and ears when her father instructed his minions to bring her down here. She told herself severally that she was in a bad dream and would wake up soon from the nightmares. However, the nightmares seemed forever.

She was made to sleep on a hard-constructed bed in her outing clothes. This caused her so much muscle and joint pain due to her delicate lifestyle. Even when she swallowed her pride and begged her father’s minions to show her mercy, one of them rained abusive words on her while the other slapped her fiercely on the cheek. He blamed her for the death of his brother during the night she caused a bitter battle between her father’s men and those of Leon Treshvire.

Comfort was the last thing you could ever get in the room Chloe was locked in. She was also denied food and water as punishment for going against her father’s instruction. Another painful thing that ached her heart was the fact that her loving mother never showed up in all of her predicaments. It was as though both her loving parents had totally given up on her and would happily feed her to the sharks.

The amount of seriousness and hatred on her father’s face when he spoke about adopting a son and giving her up even to jail was agonizing. It filled her heart with gloom and despair. Another frustrating and scary thing was when her father said she could commit suicide if she wanted and he wouldn’t give a damn.

All these consuming thoughts weakened he spirit and she cried herself to sleep.

By morning, Chloe was a total mess. Her eyes were dark and swollen from tears and messy makeup. Her once glossy and silky blonde hair was disheveled and messy. Her lips were cracked and felt sore due to her constant nibbling at them throughout the night. Her stomach growled continuously and from her current hungry state, she could finish a bowl of soup with a loaf of bread.

She tried to sit up on her bed but failed due to her weakened state. “Water!” She cried softly.

The door to her bunk room finally opened as if someone heard her cry. A housemaid walked in with a glass of water, some juice, and poached eggs on toast.

Chloe was suddenly filled with energy at the sight of this. She quickly sat up and grabbed the water first. She gulped down the water without giving a break until it was finished. Then she went for the juice and toast. Within five minutes, she had devoured everything on the tray and her eyes shone for more.

When she looked up again to thank the maid, she was surprised to see her mother standing by the doorway watching her in disgust.

“Can you see what you’ve reduced yourself to?” Anna Robinson’s voice was filled with anger, regret, and pain.

“Mum, I’m...”

“Don’t! I’m only here to get you ready for court!” Anna glared at Chloe. “I am solidly behind your father and his decisions. I am done supporting you!”

Chloe started crying afresh, hoping that it would soften her mother’s heart.

“Your tears stopped working on me long ago since mine doesn’t have any effect on you,” Anna sneered. “If you know what is good for you, you will comply and confess to your crime in the court today otherwise your father will feed your body to his dogs.”

Location 4: HPS Hospital.

The atmosphere in Kyle’s private ward was filled with anxiety and sorrow.

Silvia was preparing to go to the courthouse when she got an emergency call from HPS hospital. She was told that her uncle, Kyle, was involved in a hit-and-run car accident.

After making several calls, she hurried out of her house and went straight to the hospital.

On arriving at the hospital, a friendly doctor led her to Kyle’s private ward. When they got to the ward, the sight Silvia saw crippled her heart and brought tears to her eyes.

The doctor tried to console her and debriefed her about Kyle’s current state and development since the previous night.

“Your uncle was very lucky to have narrowly escaped brain damage. We have been able to stabilize him and he is no longer in danger. However, we can’t say much about his legs as they were badly damaged by the accident.

“Oh no!” Silvia cried out.
