Fallin’ into your ocean eyes
Those ocean eyes..
Zoe busted open the door to the lounge with a loud bang. Landon’s half-dressed friends paled at the interruption as the escorts squealed and hid in the men’s arms.
“Who the hell are you?” demanded one of the men, pointing a finger at Zoe. Landon had protected her well by keeping her identity under wraps, and her departure for Yoarkley at a young age meant that not many in Solana City recognized her.
Zoe, who was already incensed, was further enraged by the question. Without a word, she grabbed an empty wine bottle from the table and swung it at the man’s head.
The bottle shattered with a crash, eliciting screams from the women and leaving the men gaping at Zoe.
“Son of a bitch!” Zoe’s eyes were spitting fire. She looked like she was ready to take on anyone.
“And where are you from, you crazy bitch?” The other two guys rose to their feet and spoke out for their poor friend.
“Wow, things are certainly heating up in here! What are you doing to my sister?” Landon emerged lazily from the balcony, lifting a soundly asleep Lauren in his arms.
Landon’s sister?
The two guys who shot up just now exchanged a look before sinking onto the couch again. The one with bleeding head managed a feeble smile and chuckled, “Haha, it turns out it’s Ms. Harper! Please forgive me!”
“Landon, what are you planning to do?” Zoe was spurting fire at the sight of Lauren in Landon’s arms.
“Zoe, what are you planning to do?” Frowning, he shot the same question back at her.
“Hah, how dare you interrogate me? Is it because I am in your way? Do you feel like I’ve thwarted your plan?” She glowered at him.
Landon responded, “I’m fine with you hitting him with a bottle because he disrespected you. But have you forgotten what I told you? I told you not to visit ACE unless necessary. Even then, you need to inform me beforehand, and I’ll make the arrangements.
Acting like a stern, concerned older brother, he continued, “Why are you always rebellious? You can’t let me have a moment of peace. ACE is a rowdy place. I can’t protect you in time if anything happens to you!”
“Quit acting like you care about me, Landon Harper!” Zoe placed a hand on her hips and pointed a finger at him indignantly.
She accused, “Just admit that you’re angry because I put a stop to your plan! Lauren is Jeremy’s sister. How dare you fuck his sister behind his back, you shameless scumbag?”
“Zoe Harper,” he hissed, his face darkening.
Zoe felt a tremble and stumbled backward. In her memory, he had never addressed her by her full name
He must have been truly angry with her.
He took a deep breath and warned, “You have no business being here. Go home!”
“I’ll go home, but only with you!”
Zoe’s shrill voice pierced the air as she protested. “What? Are you going to sleep with her?”
Landon, losing his patience, called out loudly, “Angelina!”
“I’m here, Mr. Harper,” Angelina rushed in.
“You will personally see Zoe home.
“Will do.” Angelina only took orders from Landon as his secretary and personal bodyguard did not show mercy to Zoe and dragged the latter out by the arm.
“Argh! Don’t touch me! Get your dirty hand off me! You’re hurting me, you know? Fuck off!” Zoe’s screams fell on deaf ears.
To Zoe, Angelina was a monster bred by Landon, who had a firm grip that was impossible to shake off.
Zoe was finally hauled away as everyone watched on.
Deep in the night, Alyssa was enjoying her facial mask as she lit her handmade rose-scented incense sticks and lay in the bathtub full of rose petals. She was ready for rejuvenation and relaxation after many tiring days.
“Oooh, that feels good,” she whispered to herself. Her toes curled in delight, and her eyes narrowed with contentment. She felt like she deserved either the company of a man or a soothing bath in her life.
She was interrupted by a call from Sean. He was working overtime at the hotel instead of escorting her home because he needed to tie up some loose ends. Doing so would help reduce her workload tomorrow.
“Sean, let’s discuss work tomorrow if you can’t manage to finish everything on time. Go home and get some rest,” she spoke to Sean on speaker as she played with the floating petals in the bath.
“Ms. Alyssa, I… um… I witnessed something just now, and I thought you should know,” Sean began.
hesitantly, his voice tinged with concern. “But promise me you’ll stay calm.”
“Pshh, I’ve encountered my fair share of situations in life. Just tell me what’s going on.”
Sean took a deep breath and disclosed, “I saw Landon Harper checking in at the hotel with Lauren
Walsh just a little while ago.”
Alyssa immediately sat up in the bath, “What did you just say? Who’s checking in at the hotel? With whom?
“Landon Harper and Lauren Walsh. I’m sure I got the right person. He checked into a room with her.”
Alyssa inhaled sharply before letting out an anguished growl, “That fucking animal! Get me a gun! I’ll shoot that bastard in the crotch!”
Alyssa did not have the time to blow her hair dry. She hastily put on a wool coat over her night robe and sped to KS World Hotel in her Bugatti with her hair still damp.
Buring the drive, she made a rare call to Jeremy after giving it some thought.
Jeremy was on a business trip at Edenfells City, approximately 62 miles from Solana City. The Walsh Group had bought a piece of land by the countryside to build a hot springs resort, which was already in the works.
At that very moment, Jeremy and Xavier, wearing safety helmets, were inspecting the construction progress under the lead of the person in charge.
Just as Xavier was shining a flashlight for Jeremy to read the blueprint, Jeremy’s phone rang. He frowned and impatiently dug out his phone.
Alyssa’s name lit up the screen, a golden glimmer amidst the darkness. He held his breath and felt his heart race. His hand was trembling slightly as he clutched the phone.
“I-It’s Madam!” Xavier’s face beamed with exhilaration.
“I know. Calm down.” Jeremy feigned his composure and was about to pick up the call when he accidentally swiped the wrong way and ended the call, all because of the stiffness in his fingers from the cold and excitement.
Xavier howled, “Mr. Walsh, why did you hang up on her? You know she only calls when something serious is up! What if she’s in trouble?”
Nervous, Jeremy blamed his fingers for the mistake. Thankfully, she called back again.
“Hey,” Jeremy’s voice cracked slightly as he picked up the call without incident.
“Yo, you finally picked up,” Alyssa chirped in her melodious voice, though she sounded a little cynical.
“I will always pick up your call,” he said earnestly.
“You don’t have to pretend to be nice. I know you inside out after three years of marriage. This isn’t the first time you’ve hung up on me,” she said with a snort.
Confused, he asked, “When did I hang up on you? I never did that.”
“Enough. I didn’t call you’just to take a trip down memory lane,” she replied impassionately. “You’d better get ready to say your last farewell to your best bro.”
“Will do.” Angelina only took orders from Landon as his secretary and personal bodyguard. Therefore, she did not show mercy to Zoe and dragged the latter out by the arm.
“Argh! Don’t touch me! Get your dirty hand off me! You’re hurting me, you know? Fuck off!” Zoe’s screams fell on deaf ears.
To Zoe, Angelina was a monster bred by Landon, who had a firm grip that was impossible to shake off.
