Chapter 4 EVA

Conor's Point of view

Clarissa rapidly stood on her feet.

"I... I... I am sorry I barged in just like that. I wanted to handover this document with me to you.." Eva stuttered.

'Fuck up!' I groaned within me. I had been trying to get under Eva's skirt. And now that she caught me in a compromising position, how do I work things out? Or doesn't it matter?

"Oh... okay. You can drop it on my table." I said those words to her.

While Eva approached, Clarissa watched her until she dropped the document on the table.

"Is this how your workers behave? Mr Conor. She just walked in like that without knocking and you didn't even reprimand her?" "And to think, I never thought the sex you had with her was to secure a position in this office." She spoke those words with disdain evident on her lips.

"Just shut it! Clarissa. And where did you meet her?" I widened my eyes while I spoke those words harshly.

"I met her the morning you had sex with her. She was leaving your house."

Eva shot a deadly glare at her. "I never knew you are a cheap slut. Look at you, you have no shame. If Mr Conor hadn't been the owner of this company, you would have spoiled his career." Her words pierced through Clarissa, causing a clash between them right in my presence.

"Both of you should stop this unhealthy rivalry." "Clarissa! Get out of my office. I do not want to set my eyes on you again." I said those words with anger.

"So you are sending me out of your office because of this cheap whore?" She shot a deadly glare at Eva. "I will be back." Clarissa walked out of the office.

But I could tell that this was just the start.

Eva's Point of view

"Ahh!" I yawned out so loud because it's been a long day. All I did today was make beautiful designs and craft some of them into beautiful creations. I know if Conor sees any of it, he would be so happy with me.

But my heart was sad. Even though I tried to cover up with those works. My heart was still very void.

I stood on my feet and started packing my things so I could take my leave. Then, I received a message on my phone. I wasn't expecting such and so, my eyes rolled directly to it.

Calling my attention, I picked up my phone to check it. Only for me to realize it was a shocking message from an anonymous number.

Being curious, the message reads. "Hi. I know who you are and I know you think your parents are dead. But no, it's a fat lie. They aren't dead. To see your parents, come to Louis block 7, Willing road. I will be waiting for you. Don't be late. 7:00 PM is the maximum timing." After reading it, my heart hit hard against my chest.

I felt my blood running down my veins with such an intense speed. My breath kept puffing out of my nostrils. I couldn't think further again.

That location was a place I was slightly familiar with. I took the risk and went directly to the location without giving it a second thought.

Getting to the location, I realized it was just a warehouse. I didn't know where to go again. While I looked around. My phone beeped. It was an SMS. I checked it and it stated that I should go inside the opened garage.

Widening my eyes, I didn't give it a second thought, I went inside the opened garage. And before I knew what was happening, the garage was closed up.

It became dark there. My heart started hitting hard against my chest. I became slightly scared. I brought out my phone and I switched on the light. Only for me to see nothing.

'What is happening? Why is there nothing?' While I gave it a thought, my phone beeped. I read the SMS. It said I should come out of the garage.

After reading the message, the garage opened on its own. I took a deep breath and walked outside only for me to feel a tap on my shoulder from behind.

Before I could turn, the person held me with force. While I struggled with that hand, I spotted a butterfly tattoo. The tattoo was the last thing I saw before I passed out.

A few hours later, I woke up to see I had been tied together with my parents.

"Father, mother! You are alive!" My hope and my spirit was rekindled.

"Daughter. it's good to see you again but It's a shame that you are here because It's all a trap." Hearing that, I tried moving my hands and legs. That was when I realized I have been tied down.

It dawned on me as a reality that I had been kidnapped.

I wanted to start shouting only for me to see a perfectly built three muscled men and a woman who happened to be their leader.

Unfortunately, they were all masked. They wanted to kill me right away, but the leader demanded that I shouldn't be killed. Rather; tortured for a period of time before getting killed.

I remained there for 48 hours before I was declared missing by Conor. He happened to be dissuaded and restless.

"Hello. Mr Collins. This is Conor."

"How can the Pirate security firm be of service to you?"

"My employee is missing. I need you to help me find her within 4 hours. If you don't fulfill this mission, I will shut down your company."

Hearing that, Collin's was filled with fear. "Don't worry Mr Conor. Send us her name, picture and phone number."

Conor hung up the call and he sent everything requested.

...

Three hours later. Conor's phone started ringing aloud. He checked it only to see that it was the security firm. Conor felt his heart racing silently. He prayed that it would be good news fromthem.

Conor picked it. "Hello, Mr Conor. We have found your employee. We will be sending her live coordinates." Hearing that, Conor's restless heart became calm.

He hung up the call and soon, the coordinates were sent to him. Getting the message, he placed a call to Mr Gary.

"Hello. Prepare seven black RollsRoyce's, a jet and 20 bodyguards. Pick me up in my house. I am going to save my employee."

...

I was about to be raped by those that kidnapped me. Only for the leader to receive a call. The leader's voice was so familiar to me. It looked more like that of my friend.

After she received the call, she signaled to her colleagues and I was shocked that they all fled.

A few minutes later. I began to hear the noise from a jet coming to that area. Before I knew what was happening, I saw a convoy of black expensive cars. Each worth five hundred and twenty million dollars each.

All the cars entered where I was in a grand style. I was scared. I felt I had been sold to a rich tycoon.

While I panicked, the guards opened their doors and rushed out of their cars. Only for them to line up in double rows so as to pay respect to their boss.

Opening up the car, a gentle man stepped out of it. To my great surprise, it was Conor.

My heightened panic went down. While he approached me gently, some of the guards rushed and released me from where I was tied.

My parents were released too. With tears welling my ears, I gave my parents a warm hug; reuniting with them.

"How are you? Eva." Conor's voice penetrated my ear. With excitement I turned to hug him tightly.

After the hug, Conor asked, "Who are these people?"

"This is my father and my mother. They are not dead" Hearing those words, his eyes widened.

"If they are not dead, who are those people found dead after the collapse?"

His question left my heart pounding so hard. I started thinking about it but I don't have a single answer to it.

"I don't know who those people are. But then..." I paused because I don't know what to say again. I was short of words.

I had to swallow the saliva in my mouth.

"Let's leave that for now, Eva. It's all good that you are safe and sound." I nodded my head.

Right there, Conor's phone started ringing out. That called his attention. He checked his phone only for him to see that it was a call from one of his marketers.

He arched his brows and picked up the call. His face was filled with a questioning gaze.

"Hello. What is it?" After Conor received the call, his lips curved with a smile and he looked at me.

I wondered what was with the gaze. "What is it?" I asked.

"The necklace you finished with before you went missing has become a market sensation. Everyone wants to have the necklace." Hearing that, I was surprised.

"You mean my necklace has a lot of sales?" I widened my eyes and opened my ears.

"Yes. The necklace made a global mark by hitting eight billion dollars in sales. This is a great feat, Eva and it calls for celebration."

Wrapping my head around his words, I became so excited.

...

We got into one of the luxury cars he brought to rescue me and when we got home, we walked into the mansion. He started the celebration at once.

After the celebration, Conor spoke to address my parents and I.

"I am happy that we are all here safe and sound." "Sir and ma, I am sorry, you won't be able to stay in this house with Eva and I. So, I am giving you one of my houses to live in." Saying that, I understood his point and I wanted to use that medium to pack from his house.

"In that case, I won't be needing to stay in your house again. I want to be staying with my parents."

Immediately I presented it, he countered my words. "No, Eva. The criteria for your parents to live in one of my apartments is for you to stay in my house and if you refuse, then you will have to live on the street."

Hearing him say that, I swallowed hard the saliva in my mouth. I felt a twist in my chest and my breath increased. 'How could he be so cruel?!' I thought in my head.

"But why? I thought staying in your house is just helping? Why must that block me from staying with my parents?" I smirked.

Conor arched his brows. "You do not have the right to stay with your parents, Eva. I own you now because you are working under me. So, don't get bright ideas."

A shocking expression was revealed on my face. "What?! You own me?"
