Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 61

Michael eyes went wide in horror and he hurriedly got up reaching for the door in milliseconds.

The moment he went out he saw June crying her eyes out. He stood above her with his face laced

with worry and anger, “How did this happen?” he gritted his teeth and made his hands into a fist.

June rushed over to him and cried even more, “President, they took her. We were walking back to

the company and…” she started to break down again.

“Alex, take her to my office.” He said and strode off to his office with anger radiating off his body.

Alex placed her on the couch and turned to his boss, “What is the next move boss?”

Michael ran his palm over his face and sucked in a breath. He took out his phone from his pocket

and made a call. Once he was through he responded to Amex’s question, “Go back to the conference

room on my behalf. I have already called Malcolm for assistance.”

Alex left for the conference room.

“Give me a moment.” Michael told June before he walked off to the lounge only to meet someone

he didn’t expect to see there.

…

The conference room was still booming with opinions. With James being the most vocal of all.

Christopher haven’t said a word since he’s there. His father told him to keep quiet before they got

there and he was grateful for he had no intention to. He tired of being pulled in the wrong direction.

He was always backing his father and justifying his action but since lately, he is having a different

view towards life. He is tired of isolating himself from civilization due to his father’s actions.

The old men of the Miller and Matthews families was fuming with anger at this moment. They can

hardly back Michael when he is obviously not caring if he lose the company or not. He even walked out

of the meeting without an explanation.

“Dad, it is obvious that Christopher is the better choice. Your perfect Grandson walked out on the

meeting. What kind of leadership is that?” James snorted but inwardly he was overjoyed.

He wanted Michael out of the room with his intimidating presence. He hardly speak but he can

have everyone on edge with just a glance or less.

There was a lot of murmuring here and there. People were arguing about who should be the new

CEO and where their loyalty falls.

“Everybody keep quiet.” Cough! Cough! Grandpa Matthews was not healthy as before.

John rushed to him, “Dad, are you okay?”

He fanned him off gesturing that he is fine.

He looked up at Michael’s PA and asked, “Where is Michael?”

“He has something important to attend to so he had to leave sir.” Alex responded politely.

Grandpa Matthews slap the table in anger, “More important than the company?”

Alex flinched a little but Grandpa Matthews continued before he could respond to his question.

“We have been here over two hours with this back and forth. We cannot wait for Michael any

longer. James, I have considered all your arguments and you did made some valid points but we still

have to go through a vote which might not work in your favor.” Grandpa Matthews voiced out clear

enough for everyone in the room to hear.

…

In a warehouse a little out of the town, a young lady was tied up in a dark room.

“Let me out! Let me out right now. Why was I kidnapped?”

“Tell me what you want and my husband will provide it to you.” She was desperate and exhausted. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

She had been tied up over an hour and nobody came in. She can barely see anything. The room

was so dusty as if it had been abandon for months.

Suddenly the door opened and someone walked in.

“Hello Ariana.” She heard a male voice, sounded about Fifty years old.

She kept quiet.

“Why are you so quiet? I heard you were shouting ever since you came here.” He taunts her.

“It doesn’t matter if you say anything. I will do the talking because you will not make it out of here

unless it is your corpse.”

She snorted but did not respond.

“Ariana, have you ever wondered why I never loved you?”

He scoffed, “Let me tell you, you are not my daughter. You were kidnapped from Country C and I

was paid to keep and your mother but unfortunately your mother couldn’t stay. I got men to rape and kill

her but unfortunately she got lucky and was found by her family.

Actually, you are one lucky bastard as well. James Matthews spent a lot of money that year to get

you out of the picture so you couldn’t marry his nephew. Life took a turn after all our efforts and you still

end up marrying him without even knowing. Tsk, tsk.”

“I am only telling you this because you will die here today. At this moment, the company is being

taken away from your dear husband. By the way, how did you hide the marriage, I always thought you

were just his sex toy. You are one lucky whore.”

He grabbed her by her hair and yanked it hard, she yelped in pain. “You made my daughter lived a

misery life but guess what, once the company is taken from Michael, he will have nothing. Johnson will

have no choice but to divorce my daughter.”

“Before I kill you, I will let all these men defile your body.” He slapped her face.

She spat on him even though she can only see his silhouette, “Fuck you bastard. Let us see who

will have the last laugh.” Her cheek was on fire from the slap.

Ashton jumped in shocked. This is not Ariana’s voice. Did the men kidnapped the wrong person?”

He rushed to the light switch just to see that it was the twin sister. Does this mean that the Miller

family is aware? He went into a panic attack as he fumbled to take out his phone to call James just to

get voicemail.

He composed himself and approached her in anger, “What kind of game are you playing here?”

Before Samantha could respond, the door was kicked off its hinges and Malcolm rushed in along

with several other officers.

He was blazing in anger as he kicked Ashton to the ground as he cried out in pain, “Take him away

along with all the others outside.”

He rushed to Samantha and his features soften instantly. He loosened the rope around her hands

and feet. He pulled her into a tight hug.

“Baby, I am sorry you had to go through all of this. This is the reason I didn’t want you to risk your

life with this switch.” He complained while gently touching her slapped cheek.

“It took you long enough.” Samantha scold him. “Even though I was happy to do it for my sister.”

“I know you miss your sister but I don’t want you risking your life anymore.” He told her while

carrying her bridal style to his car.

She smiled at his protectiveness and kiss his cheek, “Let us go to the company.”
