Billionaire’s Lost Angel

Lotus sat nervously in Caleb’s office, her gaze fixed on the mahogany desk that separated her from her boss. Caleb was a tall, charismatic man with piercing blue eyes and a well-groomed beard. He exuded power and authority, which made her a bit inferior since she started working with him. But with her new discoveries she was begining to find him suspicious.

They had been working since morning, arranging the documents and files of models that have applied to be branded. Lotus found the list outrageous and wondered what they found so interesting. To her, it was just a waste of time and a danger zone.

She couldn’t help but feel that the shooting of Sarah was because she was a model in this company. Lotus had still not shared to anyone about her discoveries, not even Natasha. Even though she knew that she was keeping her identities fro Natasha, lotus could vouch that Natasha would always offer ways to help. Lotus would ne forever grateful to the woman for making sure that she didn’t abort the twins. Talking about the twins they have grown quite big and more attractive. Lotus wtached them from afar, tears welling up in her eyes every damn time she watched them playing happily. She wanted to be by their side, teaching them how to buld castles the sand. She would have never imagined that she wouldn’t be with Peter at the point she was. It was like a dream that was still a dream to her but a bigger reality. He was probably somewhere, tying the knots with Sheila.

That sly bitch. Right from the First time lotus saw her she knew that Sheila was up to bo good. Sheila was all over Lotus when they were dating.

And now lotus couldn’t help but feel that it might have been their plan to humiliate her and make Peter deceieve her that he was in love with her.

“I love you.” Hearing those words from Peter filled her with so much hope that she couldn’t believe that the gone just as her marriage had dissipated in the air.

“So, Lotus,” Caleb began, leaning back in his leather chair with a smug smile. Lotus blinked , coming back to reality. “I have someone I want you to meet.”

Lotus bit her lip, her heart pounding. She couldn’t afford to get any closer to Caleb, not after what happened to Sarah. Her dear friend and after fake sister.  Lotus had faked her death in order to keep her safe from whatever danger lurked in Caleb’s shadow. “I’m sorry, Caleb,” she said firmly. “I need more time to process everything that’s happened. I can’t just move on like nothing ever happened. I am still driving Sarah and you know that.”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Caleb’s smile faltered for a moment before he leaned forward, his voice taking on a gentle tone. “Lotus, I understand your pain and grief, but you can’t let it consume you. Life goes on, and I believe I have an opportunity that can help you through this.”

Lotus clenched her fists, fighting back tears. “I don’t need your help, Caleb. I need time to heal.”

As Lotus made her way home that evening, she decided to stop at a nearby coffee shop for a moment of solace. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloped her as she settled into a plush armchair, seeking refuge from the swirling emotions that threatened to overwhelm her.

As she sipped her latte, a woman with wavy auburn hair walked into the coffee shop. The woman’s eyes widened in recognition as she spotted Lotus, a mix of concern and urgency etched on her face.

“You’re Caleb’s new model, aren’t you?” the woman asked, approaching Lotus cautiously.

Lotus nodded, her curiosity piqued. “Yes, I am. And who might you be?”

The woman hesitated for a moment before replying, “My name is Rebecca. I used to work for Caleb, but I left after I discovered some unsettling things about him. Lotus, you need to be careful. Caleb is not to be trusted.”

Lotus raised an eyebrow, a mix of disbelief and intrigue coloring her features. “Why should I believe you, Rebecca? What makes you think Caleb is capable of such things?”

Rebecca leaned in, her voice lowered to a conspiratorial whisper. “I’ve seen things, Lotus. People disappearing without a trace, rumors of shady dealings with dangerous figures. Caleb may seem charming, but beneath that facade lies a killer.”

Lotus felt a chill run down her spine. The revelation threatened to shatter the little stability she had left. “I appreciate your concern, Rebecca. But until I have solid evidence, I can’t simply believe such accusations.”

Rebecca nodded, understanding evident in her eyes. “I understand. Just promise me you’ll keep your guard up and trust your instincts.”

Lotus nodded.

“I’ll keep in touch.”

After bidding Rebecca farewell, Lotus drove home, her mind racing with conflicting thoughts. Uncertainty followed her like a shadow, intensifying when she noticed a black car trailing her along the dimly lit streets. Panic washed over her as she realized she was being followed.

Her heart pounding in her chest, Lotus weighed her options. Should she confront her pursuers? Should she call the police? Fear clouded her mind, making it difficult to think clearly.

As she turned onto a deserted road, the black car sped up, closing the distance between them. In a moment of desperation, Lotus made a sharp turn into a hidden alley, hoping to shake off her pursuers. But the black car followed, its presence looming like a sinister omen.

Gritting her teeth, Lotus focused on her driving skills, maneuvering through the narrow alleyways with a sense of urgency. Beads of sweat formed on her brow as she tried to shake off the black car. But no matter how hard she tried, it clung to her like a relentless predator.

But after she lost trace of it. Packing in a corner of the road to catch her breath as she wondered what was going on.
