“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

"It is you!  You planned this.  You harmed me!"  Karla was hysterical as she pointed her hands to Aryana.  She wanted to grab her hair and slapped her real hard.

"What did I do?  You accompanied me here to clean up."  Aryana maintained her innocent voice.

"It is supposed to be you, not me!"  Karla shouted.  Marriane glared at her and signaled with her eyes to stop exposing herself.

Erik who was standing at the door looked at Aryana and his lips curled up.  He understood what happened.

'Smart girl.'  He praised her silently.  Their gazes met briefly then he left.  He is not worried about her.  She can perfectly take care of herself.

The bodyguards came and cleared the area.

Marriane recovered her senses.  She took a robe from the bathroom and put it on Karla.  They drove the magazine editor out of the room.  Aryana also left the room.

Karla was sobbing.  She was inconsolable.  Her reputation was ruined.
