Andriana turned back at the stranger panicking now.
"That was ...why didn't you stop ....where are you taking me ?" She stammered.
"To get your feet treated " he said.
"Huh....but. I need to get back, my assistant will get worried," she let out.
"Don't worry about it " he calmly muttered.
Andriana gulped. She was crazy to have been so easily swayed by his handsome face, or was it the alcohol in her system?
"Let me out ....now "she raised her voice.
He glanced back at her but didn't react.
"I said let me out ...." She yelled turning as she tried to jerk the door open.
He held her back, but she pushed his hand off and kept yelling.
"Stop the car " she heard him say to the driver.
The moment the car stopped, Andriana stepped out of the car. The pain from her feet stung with each step but she wanted to be far away from the stranger.
She could hear his footsteps behind her but didn't look back.
A car stopped right behind his and Samantha jumped out.
"Miss Andriana " she ran to her.
Andriana had never been happy in her life, staggering in pain she met Samantha.
"Let's go right now " she said.
"Mmm..." Samantha helped her to the car but someone blocked them. It was one of his men.
"Is that your name ?" She heard his voice behind her.
Andriana looked back to see him walking closer to her.
"I didn't think such a high-end party could host mental cases, too," she muttered.
He chuckled, "What do you mean by that ?"
"You tried to kidnap me just now. And now you're trying to stop me from leaving, we don't even know each other, so clearly you're not right in the head," she glared back at him.
"All I wanted to do was help and I remember clearly you willingly let me take you " he was closer now.
She scoffed then glared back at him.
"Thank you so much for your help but as you can see I don't need your assistance anymore so please get out of our way "
His calm eyes glanced at Samantha, then back at her, nodding, his man stepped away from the car door.
Samantha opened it and got Andriana inside then got in herself.
He stood back watching them drive off.
"Oh my god.....I can't believe I got myself kidnapped by a crazy person," she cried out.
Samantha rubbed her back calming her down.
"Well, he's not crazy but dangerous ", she let out.
"Huh...what do you mean ?".
"You didn't recognise him?" She asked.
Andriana frowned, "If I knew who he was I wouldn't have reacted that way "
Samantha leaned back with a pale face.
"Then we are doomed ....boss is going to kill me " she murmured.
"What is going on...did I do something wrong?" asked Andriana.
"That man you just called a mental case is the richest and most powerful man in the country. He owns a lot of companies and is believed to be from a lineage of a strong mafia family ".
"Huh....WHAT?!" yelled Andriana.
"So if he decided to get back at you ... Mira and I will go down with you ", Samantha let out.
Andriana fell back, "This is exactly why I didn't want to come to such a big event ....what am I going to do, he saw my face and knows my name too," she cried.
.....
"Boss, I checked and that wasn't Miss Greenwood ".
"What do you mean ?".
"The one who attended and Miss Greenwood are two different people " he said.
"Then who was it at the event today ?".
",Her name is Andriana Davison and is a close friend of Miss Greenwood "
He sighed.
"Get all the information about them both by tomorrow morning " he ordered.
"Come on, Karlye do you want to get revenge cause she called you a mental case?" said David.
Karlye turned to his friend and sighed.
"I mean, it's justified for her to call you that, you almost kidnapped her ", he laughed.
Karlye frowned, "Who told you all that ?"
"Not of your concern, I'm just surprised by your behaviour. Even if you like a woman that much, you never resorted to kidnapping ".
Karlye breathed, "I never tried to kidnap her, I was .....never mind ". He fell silent.
David chuckled.
"Alright I won't say more , I came here for another reason "
"Say it and leave ".
"It's them, they are back again. And it seems this time they are serious about trying to take over," said David.
Karlye frowned.
"So you need to be careful the next few days until we find out there exactly location. After what happened last time, you're bound to be number one on their hit list," explained David.
"Don't worry about me and find them " he said.
"Mmm, and in case you run into them, don't even think of fighting them alone". David let out.
"Leave already ' Karlye got up.
David chuckled, heading to the door, " Alright, I wish you luck on your revenge ".
Karlye sat back down closing his eyes.
The image of Andriana played in his mind.
Trying to run away from the boring business talks, he decided to run off to the balcony to hide away, only for him to lay eyes on her.
A slender, delicate figure with pale and clear skin. The dress hugged her curves perfectly. Her hair was brown, curly, flowing down her back.
She was lost in thought as she muttered something to herself.
He caught a glimpse of her face and froze.
Her pink lips, a perfectly small moulded nose, and long black lashes on her eyes. It was when he got closer that he noticed they were green hazel eyes.
Her beautiful eyes had kept staring at him until he spoke again , he chuckled, opening his eyes.
"Andriana ...." he whispered her name.
