“I have bad news Boss.  Your wife was kidnapped from the cruise ship.  Her bodyguards colluded with the kidnappers.”

“What? “ The pen he was holding snapped into two.  His face contorted in fury. 

“Find out who the kidnappers are right now!  Exhaust all resources to bring her back!”  He commanded urgently, his voice filled with both anger and anguish.

“Bo… Boss.   Their get away boat was caught in a tornado and has capsized.  The kidnappers’ bloated bodies were recovered.  Your wife is missing.”  The assistant was scared to say that probably his wife is also dead.

Time stood still.

Erik felt as if an iron fist squeezed his heart.  It stopped beating for a few seconds and he cannot breathe.  Clutching his chest, He staggered backwards and fell down as he lost consciousness.

Amidst the schemes of their enemies especially the calculative woman who was Erik’s first love, will Aryana survive?

The Billionaire’s Promise

"Hi, Cassie.  What a coincidence to meet you here.  How have you been?"  Marlon extended his hand for a handshake but retracted it when Erik glared at him.

"I'm doing well now.  Got a name for myself as a ramp model here in Italy."  She laughed lightly.  She turned to look at Aryana with a question mark on her face.

"And who is this pretty lady over here?"  She sounded amiable but Aryana felt malice deep inside her.  She can easily read people and at a glance, she could tell that Cassie was wearing a mask of pretense in front of Erik and Marlon.

"I am the secretary.  Aryana Jones."  She did not wait for Erik or Marlon to speak up.  She extended her hand for a handshake.  Cassie took it and held it quite tightly.  Aryana frowned and retracted her hand.

"You guys heading out for dinner?  Mind if I join you?"  Cassie said in a charming voice.  No man should be able to deny that request.
