* Blurb: He picked up his call, "Hello Wilfred, this is unlike you, what's going on?" Eduardo asked. "Sir, Cindy is in the hospital, you need to come immediately." "What happened?... In which hospital?" Eduardo asked. Eduardo knew something wasn't right, Mr Wilfred can't just call him, if it was a minor issue. "Okay, I'll be there soon." Eduardo disconnected immediately he told him the name of the hospital and rushed out of the meeting hall. All the managers looked at him surprised, such an important meeting and he left like that. Reaching the hospital, he rushed to the ward where the doctor always keep any members of his family. He entered the ward and went closer to the bed, the moment he held her hand, Cindy opened her eyes. "Eduardo..." She whispered. "Who did this to you?" Eduardo asked coldly. "Ouch!..." Cindy sighed in pain to distract him. "Sorry... Does it hurt much?" Eduardo asked. "Hmm... It does hurt." Cindy answered. 'Oh my... What will I tell him?... No no... Cindy be careful of what to say.' She thought and twined her fingers with his. "Cindy who did this to you?" He asked the second time. "Huh?" Cindy asked with an opened eyes. "Cindy... You heard me." Eduardo said. "Erm... It was an accident, I... I tried to place my hand on the balcony, and my hands slipped off." Cindy explained. "Cindy, I told you to take care of yourself but no, you would never do that..." He finger-combed his hair and walked out of the ward angrily. On his way to the Doctor's office, he met Mara. "Mara..." Eduardo called out. "Oh... You're already here, sir, sorry for what happened, the Doctor said she would be fine." Mara said and Eduardo nodded. "Sir, there's something very important you've to know... Your house is not safe for Cindy." Mr Eduardo looked up at her, "What do you mean by that?" He asked gently. "Sir, I know it's gonna sound like crazy but I am really sorry I have to say it... Your mother was the one who pushed her down from the balcony." "What!... Mara, did you know the implication of what you just said... How can you say such a thing?" He asked. "I am sorry, sir, but that's the truth," Mara answered him politely. "Are you sure of what you just told said?" Eduardo asked. "Very sure, sir," Mara answered and then he went back to the ward very angry. He wanted to confirm if what Mara said was the truth, so he sat down beside Cindy, took her hand in his own and locked his eyes into hers, doing that he said, "Cindy... Why are you trying to hide the truth, huh?" Hearing his question, Cindy looked up at him surprisingly. "Cindy... Why did you lie to me... was it mother who did this to you?..."

Lost For Love Chapter 1 One

Chapter one

Eduardo hopped out of the car just as the butler unlocked the main door of the mansion, he scampered into the house, he did not care if he has hurt someone or not. He ran straight to his room to take his shower.

"Hey...what the fuck!." Uncle Linus shouted.

'What on earth could make him run in this manner.' He stood there for some minutes gaping.

Out of anxiety, Linus ran inside the house and quickly put forward one of the curtains and hide. A very lengthy dark brown curtain even a safety dictator can't dictate that someone was there.

After wavering for a while and he didn't hear or see anything coming. He deliberately came out of his hidden place, tip-toed from there to the direction of Eduado's room and barely opened the door to glimpse but to find out that he was taking his shower, which made him fierce.

He closed the door, "Huh... finish with whatever you are doing up there and come down and deal with me." He went back to the sitting room and waited for him.

After some minutes he looked up and Eduardo was coming.

'Oh... my gush... Is this really Eduardo? I have never seen him looking this stunning before, I didn't need to obligate him right now.'

"Hello, uncle... what's up." Eduardo greeted.

"Eduardo... are you going out?" Uncle Linus asked him.

"Yes, I am." He answered.

"I almost forgot, must you frighten everyone in the house before going out? You ran into the house as if you were being wooed by demons." Uncle Linus taunted him.

Eduardo couldn't do anything but raise his eyebrows, wrinkled his forehead and strolled away.

He was so eager to have a little time to go clubbing and he doesn't wanna waste a single time of it.

Ever since he became the CEO of Oak-king Enterprises Company Limited, there's no time for him to flex around anymore.

The work on his table has finally been reduced and for that reason, he's less busy.

The butler, chef and one of the house help laughed together, hearing how Uncle Linus was teasing him.

"Three of you want to be roasted meat when he comes back."

One of the servants who saw what happened reminded them that he is not who they were to mess with.

They quickly ran back to their duties.

Eduardo is someone that doesn't take shit from anyone and can easily do whatever he wishes to anyone without blinking an eye.

They all know Eduardo as a cruel man. He hardly smiles at anyone not even his family.

He was a well-known person even in the clubhouse.

He walked majestically through the door of the clubhouse. The moment he came into view, he was greeted by the receptionist but as usual, he ignored her and walked inside.

They all knew he was such a rude and cruel man.

He has his personal seat in the club and he doesn't dance with just anyone. They use to reserve the kind of girl he likes.

He is a regular customer they wouldn't like to lose.

He got drunk before he decided to leave the club.

"Sir, you are drunk, let me drive you home."

A man he met in the club offered to help him but Little did he know that he was a kidnapper.

His drink was drugged and though he was used to it any time he went to the club, this time was different as it has been a long he took drugs.

It affected him for a while giving the man the opportunity to take him away.

Unknowingly to the man, he was dealing with the devil himself as he quickly regained his senses and struck the man's head immediately after he realized he was kidnapped.

He pushed the man down and zoomed off.

******

"Boss! You never told me he was dangerous."

Cain said to someone on the phone holding his head in pain. Cain was so angry for losing a wonderful opportunity. As he presumed.

Based on their agreement, he was going to be paid handsomely, if he was able to kidnap Eduardo successfully. Cain's mind went to the amount of money he would have gotten if he was able to accomplish the mission, so he sighed and went back to their camp, frustrated.

******

"God damn it!!!." Eduardo blurted.

Unfortunately, his car got involved in an accident as he was driving home, he quickly stepped on the brake and jumped out of the car to see how bad it was.

He was shocked to see a young girl lying Lifeless in front of his car but he was only bothered about his car.

In his opinion money can solve everything, he only took a quick glare at the girl and called Dean to come to take care of the situation while he drove away.

"Dean, I got in an accident and a girl was involved. Take care of her and pay every bill necessary."

Dean left what he was doing and rushed to the place immediately.

'If I don't go now it would be another story, who knows how badly the girl was hurt?'

He already knew him so well that he wouldn't care about what happened to the girl, he quickly rushed to the place to save her.

Dean arrived at the place and was shocked to see how badly the girl was injured and to think that Eduardo left her in that state was making him mad.

How can someone be this heartless, though he knew him before but he thought he has at least changed a bit.

He quickly put her in the car and drove off.

Dean is someone who always takes care of his problems outside his work. You could describe him as gentle but dangerous when it comes to his work.

******

"She's nowhere to be found, Dad, I've searched the streets in the estate, but couldn't find her," Desmond said angrily, and there was awkward silence among them, he turned towards his dad.

"Where's Cindy? What have you done to her?" Desmond asked staring at his dad.

"Listen, I did nothing to her, if there's anyone you want to ask about her, it's probably not me." Mr Black said and quickly went to his room not bothered.

Desmond knew his father lied to him as he was behaving strangely. Then he stood there glued to the floor without emotion, he vividly remembered several occasions he has been a saviour to her, as his father has attempted to rape her.

But this time he wasn't there to save her as he wasn't at home, actually his father didn't succeed in rapping her, she ran away from the house.

Before the last incident that made her run away, Desmond decided to fix a secret camera throughout the house and connect it to his iPad just for Cindy's safety.

Unknowingly to Mr Black that his son Desmond completely watched all that happened with him and Cindy that made her run away from the house.

******

Reaching the hospital, Dean carried her out of the car and rushed her to the VIP emergency room. The receptionist saw how he rushed in and called the doctor Immediately.

He laid her on the bed and turned to the nurse on duty, who helped him to open the ward.

"Call the doctor!! Nurse!"

But there was no response. He walked close to her,

"I said call the doctor!!!"

He angrily shouted at the nurse, all worried about the girl. But before the nurse respond the doctor entered the room.

"Right behind you, Dean." The doctor said.

"Oh good, thank God you are here, Doctor Elvis please do everything..., I mean everything in your power to save her life." Dean pleaded.

The doctor gave the nurse instruction to bring the necessary items needed.

"What happened? How did you get yourself into this?" The doctor asked Dean.

"Doctor..., she ran into my car!!" Dean answered him and sat down on a couch, all devastated.

"She will be fine. She had a little internal injury but with the help of some medication and Enough rest, she will regain her health." The doctor said as he was checking her.

"It alright doctor...," And that's all Dean could say at the moment.

Right in Eduardo's room, his phone beeped, he hesitated before removing his phone from his pocket but when he noticed it was a beep from Dean, he taped the message immediately to read it.

'She sustained an internal injury, but Doctor Elvis said she will be fine.'

Though he acted cruel and heartless but somehow, his conscience denied him peace, but the moment he went through the message, he took a deep breath and his peace of mind was restored instantly.

'It's okay Dean.' Eduardo texted back and after some minutes he feels like calling him to know how everything was going.

And that was not him for real, like ever since he knew what's pain, never has he sympathized or ever felt for anyone but he just decided to call Dean.

Dean picked up his phone to see who was calling, he was surprised when he found out it was Eduardo.

One Night With The Wrong Brother

I thought I was waking up in the arms of Arthur, the man I loved. But as the morning light hit the Hamptons estate, the man buttoning his cuffs by the window turned around with eyes like chips of ice. It was Augustus Riddle, Arthur’s cruel younger brother, and I had just spent the night whispering confessions of love into the wrong man's ear. The night I thought was a beautiful beginning turned into a devastating nightmare. Instead of comfort, Gus treated me like a stain on his expensive carpet, scribbling a check for "services rendered" before shoving me into a dark service corridor to hide my existence from his brother. "How much does it cost to buy your silence?" He sneered, before leaving me barefoot in a torrential downpour while he drove away in a luxury Cadillac. Four years later, I am a struggling actress in Los Angeles, working double shifts as a barista just to keep the lights on. My life was finally stable until my roommate dragged me to a high-end dinner to meet her new "influential" boyfriend. The man sitting at the table, looking more arrogant and lethal than ever, was Augustus. He spent the entire night humiliating me, calling me a pathetic amateur and a social climber in front of my only friends. When I fled into the rain and collapsed on the sidewalk, skinning my knee until I bled, he watched from his car. He saw me clutching a plastic baggie containing the taped-together pieces of that four-year-old check—the only proof of my shame. He looked at me like roadkill, rolled up his window, and drove off into the dark. I couldn't understand why he was doing this. Why did he hate me enough to crush me, yet remember that I couldn't handle the smell of cigarette smoke? Why did he leave me bleeding in the street, only to send expensive medical supplies and coffee to my door the very next morning? "I'm moving out." I told my roommates, realizing that Gus Riddle didn't just want to destroy me; he wanted to haunt me. I grabbed my suitcase and walked out with eighty dollars to my name, finally ready to disappear into the city before he could burn the rest of my life to the ground.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.
