After dinner was done , i told everyone to get some rest don't have to worry about me everyone was just busy doing their stuff while i was in my home office looking at the merger booklet and everything that came with it , i let out a sigh and went to the balcony to to stare at the night sky
Draken and Baji were in the front yard sitting there talking about life until Baji looked up at the Balcony to see Stella standing there his eyes widen and totally not listening to what Draken was saying at all
"Earth to Baji !" Draken smacked Baji and Baji snapped back into reality
"Dude , not cool to stare at our boss like that " Draken said and smacked Baji again
"Come on dude , don't smack me it hurts " Baji said
"Hey i realise something isn't right with you lately , " Draken pointed it out
"What do you mean?" Baji replied
"You are a lot closer to Lady boss these days , do you like her? " Draken asked Baji and Baji just sat there looking dumbfounded with his heartbeat racing like a madman
"Noo, what nonsense come on she's our boss , i can't fall in love with her what the heck is wrong with you bro ? " Baji laughed it off but deep down he knew that he had some sort of feelings for Stella
"Are you sure? Cause your face is like a tomato " Draken poinited it out and showed him the reflection
Baji smacked his face in front of the camera and smiled back at Draken but of course Draken wasn't convenience that Baji does not have feelings for Stella , he tries to shrug it off and went back to having normal conversation with Baji but little did Baji know how he was feeling and everytime he looked at Stella at home his heart races like mad his eyes reverted back to the green grass in front of him and when he looked up once more she was gone
Stella walked down to the kitchen to get something to drink and to see Baji and Draken sitting outside the yard talking and laughing which made her smile a little before Shane and Rin popped out of nowhere .
"Boss, we got the leads," Rin said .
"Jesus, you scared me ! " I yelled
"Sorry " Both replied ,
"Let's talk in my office " i said and walked up the stairs , i opened the door and let the twins in and they sat in front of my table while i sat opposite them and place my glass of water on the table
"Well we looked through the CCTV footage of the car that he was taking and to be very honest , his most likely still alive looking at it " Rin said and showed me 2 of the cctv footage of the car that he entered and the one that crashed and exploded
"Hmm so what does this mean? He swapped cars ? and could be anywhere in the world right now? I said
"Most likely that's the case we are looking at but , the director of KKP, this is rather shocking … " Shane said
"Well KKP isn't a real company , " Rin said and pulled up all documents on KKP Does Not Exist and it never was.
"Well that's rather shocking ... his parents? Ethan? Any information about them ? " i asked
"Uhm, they are his real family members but not Ethan , Ethan Tan . Is his assistant in his scheme and according to what we have he is the one that swapped the cars and helped Damien escape death… " Rin said
"Good work , the more we dig we can get more answers from them . you guys should rest too so we can continue digging tomorrow . " i said and let out a sigh
"Boss?" Rin said
"Yeah?" i replied
"What are you going to do when you find him? " Rin asked
"I don't know either … will find out when that day actually happens to be honest " i said and got up from my chair and walked out of the room and back to my room …
Honestly, what am I thinking? Some kind of answer from him like Why did he just disappear like that , why did he fake his death or why lie about KKP when it doesn't exist , why faking the love we had and leaving me with this unborn child … I'm sorry kids, your father is really an irresponsible one …
I tucked myself into bed and switched off all the lights hoping to get a goodnight's rest to my dismay
*In the Dream *
"What am I going to do with you Stella , you're so beautiful in every way but sadly I am just doing this for the sake of my future . since you are so powerful might as well make full use of it right ha ha ha… sleep well Stella dear " Damien's voice disappeared into the air
~ Next dream ~
"You are so gullible when comes to love Stella , no wonder you are so easy to fool , well it wouldn't hurt by killing you sooner than later right but first there are somethings we need to take care of right, that big bump of yours well i don't see the need to carry my bloodline aint it? Since I am the one that started the problem and the mess I shall end it . " Damien places a knife right on top of my belly
"Please don't kill them , they're innocent and you will never be their father! " i screamed
"Come on its taking a toll on you Stella , lets go to heaven together with the kids we could be happier there with no one to judge us Muhahaha" Damien's evil laughs comes out naturally
~ Snapping out in 3 …. 2 …. 1….
"Mam! Wake up ! " Draken yelled and shook my body
I slowly opened my eyes and saw everyone there panicking and Baji was right behind me and my body was on top of his ?! How did that happen?! I shot my eyes wide open and jumped up slight and blinked a few times to confirm that everyone is here in the room , i glance over at the clock to see it's only 4am in the morning geezus it felt like forever in there
"Uh, what are you guys doing here at 4 AM in the morning? " i questioned all of them
"Mam, you were screaming and yelling in your sleep , we thought you had been kidnapped or someone might have came in to hurt you " Charlie said
The twins rubbed their eyes and I looked at everyone with their tired faces. How long have I been screaming but I fell asleep not too long ago ? didn't i ? i tilted my head slightly and looked at Baji and Draken who handed me the glass of water , i gulped down every last drop
"Thank you all for taking care of me , you guys should get some rest " i said and got out of bed and exited the room ,
I exited the room and down to the kitchen and opened the fridge to pour a glass of milk and everyone was standing at the staircase in a single file looking at me , i looked up and choked on my milk then everyone rushed over to me and help me clean up but all i could do was let out a laugh and tapped Draken's shoulder and told them to go to bed , i'll be fine they listened and watched me entered my room then entering theirs . what a night
The next morning everyone was so silent during breakfast so I just sat there and read the newspaper and enjoyed my breakfast , but it was tense. I loved it when they had their little conversations. It made me feel like home and family at the same time . But I think because of what happened last night they didn't want to say another word about it. I shrugged it off and thanked Pram and Mdm tan for the breakfast and took my stuff and off we went to the office .
Even the car ride was very boring … I just sat there and stared at the sky while everyone kept quiet … music was playing but it didn't help much either, the twins are home still doing their research on Damien so i only have Charlie , Baji and Draken today i told Pram to find more people to join our body guard situation so at least i wouldn't have to worry so much while the twins are busy doing the things they are assigned too, Pram said he will send them to my office tomorrow for the interview this should be fun!
So when we got to the office , everyone greeted me and my first meeting was with the interns as they handed me their task list and off they went to do their own work so i just sat in the office staring at a blank screen and started looking at the stacks of document i have to sign or reject , Baji and Draken were helping me summaraize what was in the documents so i won't have to read too much , Charlie is buying coffee for all of us and told him to get us some cakes while at it i was craving for some
Charlie came back 30 mins later with the cakes and coffee yummy! It was so good but Draken was reluctant to give me the cake and said it was bad for the baby but Baji ended up giving me half of his delicious cake. Draken looked at Baji giving him the why are you pampering her so much look and shocked it off .
After eating the cakes and coffee it was back to work for us , after hours of looking at paper after paper and after paper it was finally lunch time . I had the restaurant pre-booked upon my arrival for lunch so I gave Draken the location and we drove to it. When we got to the car park we got out of the car and when I thought it was going to be a walk in the park, what could go wrong, I was wrong .
Suddenly a shadow creeped up behind me as I was waiting for Draken to get out of the car held me at knife point with the knife against my neck Charlie immediately got shocked and drew his weapon as well pointing right at him .
"Let her go " Charlie said to the man
"Never! " The man shouted back
"Charlie i'm scared !" i screamed
"Don't do anything rash , " Charlie replied not even replying to what i said
"Hey you !" a voice from behind came about and it was Baji and Draken
With one swift move Draken hit the guy at the back of his head and pushed me directly to Charlie with Charlie catching me just in time and Baji took our his weapon as well knocking the out guy
"Thank you , for saving me " i said
"Boss , what do you wanna do with him ? " Draken asked.
"Let's tie him up and shove him in the trunk of the car first then head home then back to the office " i said .
The boys nodded their heads and started to tie him up and covered his mouth with a rag we found in the car and used cable ties to bind his hands , arms and legs together . once they were done we closed the trunk and headed to the restaurant in the lift Baji was looking at me top to bottom if there are any scratches on me
"Baji I'm fine, don't have to keep looking for cuts " i said and pushed his head to Draken's chest
"But it was scary! For you I mean not me , you were lucky that we were around " he exclaimed and i just laughed it off and patted his head and Ding!
The elevator doors open to the front desk of the restaurant. I gave them my name and they led us to a private room with a view and a television in there too . The waiter came and asked for my order and i just told him my usual order would do so he nodded his head and left and the next waiter brought in a jug of water and 4 glasses
I switched on the TV and watched the news and the boys just sat there quietly while the food gets served up one by one
"On Today's news , Paraframe's CEO has declared Bankruptcy after losing millions of dollars after paying SC Private Limited 25 Million for breaching the contract and even then they said they were going to Merge with another company but after losing 25 Million to SC Private Limited that company declined any further action on the merger . " NewsCaster reported
My eyes were full of glee and happily ate the food right in front of me , smiling throughout the whole entire meal. I looked at my text to see Mike had sent me the check for 25 million had been handed over to him and is going to the bank now to deposit the money. I feel relieved.
"So , I never knew when your birthday was. Could you guys tell me?" i said and chewed on my meat
"But you have our information Boss," Draken said.
"Oh right i do oh well let's go shopping! I feel so happy today " i said
"Is it because of the 25 million ?" charlie said
I just nodded my head and continued eating. After lunch was done , I dragged the boys down to the mall and started doing shopping and just constantly swiping and the load just became time 2 of what Draken and Baji carried the other day but yeah i'm happy and shopping is therapy !
When we were done we threw everything into the trunk and checked on the guy he's still so it's fine , so we got into the car and drove back home , we came through the door like boss bitches and Pram and Mdm tan were in shock , Draken was carrying a guy over his shoulder and Baji and Charlie are carrying tons of shopping bags .
"Pram , open the basement " I told pram and took Draken down to the basement and Pram followed behind us .
"Lady Stella, who is this guy ? " Pram questioned.
"He tried to kill Ms Stella just now during lunch " Draken replied and followed us into the basement when Pram opened it .
"ARE YOUR ALRIGHT MS?! " Pram yelled at me and I turned to him with my eyebrow raised.
"Pram i'm just beside you , don't have to yell and yes i am alright not a single scratch . Uhm Draken just tie him to the chair . I'll let the twins handle this later " i said and went to the drawer on the far left of the room to get the ropes and duct tape and started helping draken out .
"What is this room Boss?" Draken asked as he tied the guy to the chair
"This is my Red room . " i replied and smirked
"Uh so you do Dom work ? " Draken asked again
"HahAHaha , you are so gullible Draken , no this is just where I keep people who wanna hurt me. ``I said and smacked the duct tape onto the guy's mouth and dusted my hands and well he looks comfy in that chair .
The 3 of us exited the room and locked the door and i told Pram to hand over the key to me and he can continue to do whatever he was doing again while i headed to the Twins room to check on their progress
I knocked on their door and entered the room to see them in a mess but at least they are doing work .
"Boss your back!" Shane said
"Its 1 in the afternoon " Rin said
"Well sad news is I still have to head back to the office so don't be shocked . but someone tried to attack me today knifepoint. I believe the both of you can deal with the hostage right? His in the basement , wait for me to come back and we can question him i have a feeling Damien maybe the one that had hire him to eliminate me "
"Are you alright? " Rin asked.
"Yes , thankfully Draken and Baji came just in time. The best part is of all the places he chose to attack me at the carpark ." I said.
"We will retrieve the CCTV footage from the carpark and evaluate from there. " Shane said and started getting to work
"Keep up the good work boys , i'll be back around 6 " i said and walked out of the door
I nodded my head and told pram we are leaving and he bid us goodbye then off we went back to the office. My legs were tired from walking and I let Baji carry me to the office. Haha, it was fun. Everyone was so shocked but it's just a simple piggy back ride. What's the big deal?
With that my afternoon meeting's piled up and got really boring. It was about marketing campaigns for the upcoming mall we are building in the south side of the city and the stores that are going to be rented out too . I just sat there and stared at the screen while I let the team talk it out . until the front desk personnel came knocking on the door
"Ms Wong, there is someone here to see you " Wendy said
"Thank you , bring them to my office. Thank you , Draken, waiting in my office . " i said and continued to listen to the marking stuff before ending the meeting and going back into my office ,
"Baji , could you be a dear and lend me your gun " I said with my big pleading eyes , he reluctantly handed over to me and I placed it at the back of my jeans and entered the room .
"Ah Nicholas , Long time no see" i said and smiled
