“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.

The Billionaire’s Promise

As the night became deeper, the banquet hall started filling up with people.  Aryana saw Erik's grandfather, his parents, uncles and cousins entered the banquet hall one by one.  There were also the children of the Lopezes and the big shots from different businesses and entertainment industry.

Aryana realized how impressive the family background of the Lopezes were and how much importance they had given Cassie by hosting such a high profile banquet for her.  Aryana suddenly felt how insignificant she was for Erik.  She felt a bit down and inferior.

"My father was right Miss Jones.  Indeed you are a rare treasure and I'm glad you signed up with us."  Clark's magnetic voice beside her pulled her back to reality.

She smiled.  "Your father was exaggerating Mr. Ham."

She Felt Insignificant
