Eight Years Of Searching

At the hotel everyone looked at the convoy leave in awe.

"Mr Yates, thanks for saving us" Sasha bowed her head thanking the manager.

If not for him, then only God knows what could've happened to them today.

He waved his hands to signal it was nothing, if anyone should be thanking anyone it should be him. The girls were the ones who got Beatrice over and by doing so dragged Luke over.

"Mr Yates, I think Mr Archman visit should be kept a secret" Sasha suggested. the manager nodded before turning his head to glance at the receptionist who escorted him.

"The man you saw today is the chairman of A Group, if anything about what happened should leak today, I don't need to tell you what would happen to you" The women nodded their heads in a daze.

Those who had looked down on him felt horrible.

Sasha looked at the Nina and Felicia before saying, " We should keep this from Beatrice as well, Since Mr Archman has not revealed his identity to her, we have no right to do so.

Besides all will become clear at the banquet in two weeks time, when Gold country sign the contract with him so let's just wait.

After they left, the manager called the receptionist who warned him and gave her a promotion.

He's status was bound to improve from here on.

In the dark of the night, seven customed made black SUV moved at a quick speed on the roads of the capital.

John sat in the front seat of the middle car, whiles Luke and Beatrice sat at the back.

"How is progress on the repairs of the crashed car going?"

"It's been done, the car is being moved to an assembly factory to make some changes, it should be back by tomorrow."

"How is Victoria doing?"

"She's recovering, if all goes well she should be back in two days time''

"What did you find out about my attacker?"

"He's name is James, a Krustalian. He's a member of the secret royal knights of Krustalia, and from what we gathered there are others like him some are even more powerful than he is.

The person who ordered your assassination was the second prince, but the order was pulled back a few days ago but it seems James had some personal scores to settle with you and acted on his own"

"It still doesn't change the fact that Krustalia attempted to kill me, I'll surely remember that" Luke said coldly.

After chatting with John for a while, Luke took out his phone and called his secretary.

"I want to know everything about Alex Yates in two minutes" he said before hanging up.

After two minutes information about Alex flooded his phone, the guy was quite capable and clean.

He bought the hotel at a young age and invested heavily on it, bringing it from a three star hotel to a six star hotel.

He was decisive and efficient, he took out his phone and called the secretary again.

"Put Alex Yates in charge of all hotels and restaurants under Archman Group"

"Sir I know his competent, but it's a lot" the secretary replied.

"Don't worry I have a feeling he would be up for the challenge so proceed" he said.

"Alright sir, it will be done"

Luke hang up the call and looked outside, he drew the window down to enjoy the breeze.

As he was feeling the breeze, he felt a head rest on his shoulder, he turned to see Beatrice lying on his arms peacefully.

"This woman..." Luke smile before patting on her back gently whiles she slept.

"It took me eight years to find you, now am not letting go" Beatrice muttered but Luke heard her loud and clear.

He was very surprised, what and who did she mean by that. He was very confused but brushed it off thinking it was an effect of the alcohol.

The secretary called him again which was quite unusual so he answered, " speak"

"Mr Archman am calling to remind you that, in four days time you have a meeting with Shawn and Linda.

They brought a project which the board think could bring in a lot of profit, but they want the main company to sponsor them" the secretary said.

A Group which was the main company had never partnered up with any company, if they liked your idea, they just bought you and merged you with one of their subsidiaries which served similar purposes.

The main office never partners with anybody, weren't this couple being a bit too bold and greedy he frowned.

" Okay I'll be there to see if their project is that lucrative" they talked a few more minutes before he hanged up.

He couldn't wait to see their reaction when they met, it was going to be priceless.

He sneered.

The motorcade arrived at rear view estate after a while, Luke carried Beatrice up stairs and gently put her on the bed.

He removed her shoes and watch before covering her with a blanket.

He left and took a cold shower before working on only military reports.

He went to sleep at dawn and laid besides Beatrice, he closed his eyes and drifted into the lands of dreams.

"The next morning, Beatrice woke up with a splitting headache, she really drunk a lot.

She looked around only to find herself at home, she was surprised before jumping out of bed and heading downstairs.

She saw Luke in the kitchen making breakfast and run to hag him from behind, surprising Luke.

"Did they say hurtful things to you, I'm sorry for what they did, don't let what they say bother you I'll always love you no matter what, she said before tightening the hug.

Beatrice was not stupid and could guess from deduction what had happened.

"Luke felt a warm feeling around his heart, this woman deeply cared for him more than he himself.

He turned back and pinched her cheek.

"What are you talking about, your friends were very accommodating and didn't even want me to leave"

"Really!?" Beatrice shouted in surprise, she knew there was no way his sister would approve of Luke.

"You can call them if you don't believe me " Luke shrugged.

Beatrice did not believe him but decided to put it for later since she was hungry.

She sat on the table whiles Luke served the food.

She ate the food happily after being served, though it didn't taste good, she loved it because Luke mom had told her that Luke disliked to cook but since he cooked for her it means his heart was warming up to her making the food taste more delicious.

Luke had also prepared some hang over soup for her to sober up.

After the meal she took her bath and put on her casual clothes waiting for Luke.

Luke came down to see her eagerly waiting for him.

"Don't you find the shop boring?" he asked.

"No"

I think it's a cool and relaxing place to be she replied.

Luke nodded before they went outside to see John waiting for them with the car that was crashed yesterday.

It looked as good as new, nobody would believe it was in a gruesome accident the previous night.

"Where's Victoria?" Beatrice asked glancing around".

"She's taking a leave and would be returning in three days time" John replied.

"oh!" Beatrice nodded.

They got into the car and left for emotions palace.

"Beatrice, by the way were you searching for someone for eight years?" Luke asked

Beatrice froze when she heard the question.
