OWNING THE CEO

She leaned in over to him, "Are you trying to punish me with all this..." "Good thing the punishment feels so good right .." Liz looked at her gorgeous husband, she had never thought she would ever look into his eyes with love, she never thought she could ever feel like she can't live without him, but now this man meant everything to him. "I love you Liz!" Ricky kissed her on the forehead. "I love you more!" Liz replied with a low breath. Liz closed her eyes, suddenly a thought came her, she pulled her self from Ricky's grasp who had been holding her in a hug. "What's wrong?!" Ricky creased his eyebrows, not sure what was happening. "Uhm, nothing" Liz lied, what could she tell him. She was thinking about Harold, her friend, the one who had helped her reach Ricky. They had planned a smart plan for there revenge but now, here she was romancing with the man she was supposed to destroy. She had not planned falling in love with him for real it had to be fake. But now that she started feeling Ricky is innocent she was confused..... ************** Two years ago... "Sorry we where not able to save your parents, they are both dead am sorry, we tried our best but it was too late when she arrived here..!" the doctor tried to explain to Liz but she was no longer understanding a thing he was saying. She collapsed to fall, but instead fell in a strong pair of arms. She turned around to see who was holding her, he was a tall handsome man, with a scar on the left cheek, he had golden brown hair that connected to his beard, he had green eyes which made him more handsome, "If he did not have the scar on his cheek, he would have been an epitome of a perfect man" Liz thought. "Are you okay dear?!" he asked. She remembered she was in this man's arms, she quickly stood up straight, "I'm fine thank you am sorry" she said as she wiped her tears. "You don't seem okay" he said gesturing at her tears. Liz kept quite not sure what to reply, she remembered her parents who were not dead and she burst into tears. The stranger hugged her comfortingly, she cried harder and hugged him back, she cried until she was calm. The man helped her through all the procedures until they where done. "Everything is done ma'am, we are so sorry for your loss" the nurse said as she handed her the documents. She said this and left them to go. Liz turned to see the stranger who helped her, "Hey, thank you so much, I would not have managed this if not for your help, thank you so much" she said as she stretched her arm out to shake hands. The man looked at his hands and smile, he stretched out his and shook hands with her. "You are welcome, by the way my name is Harold Darin!" he said. "Harold,.... I am Liz Harchlock!" she replied. "Nice name by the way" Harold told her with a smile and turned to leave. Liz looked at him go, and then he turned and came back. "Liz can we talk" Harold said rather seriously, Liz was confused but she nodded with confirmation. Harold held her hand and led the way, they reached a quite place. Harold offered her a seat, and then sat next to her. Liz sat down and waited for Harold to begin the conversation. There was silence for a while. "Uhm, you wanted to talk..." Liz broke the silence nervous. "Yeah true, I needed to talk to you, I was not sure whether now or today but I will say it" Liz kept quite and looked at him with both curiosity and nervousness. "We did not meet by accident, or by a coincidence, or by accident or chance" he said and looked into her eyes, "I came here to meet you!" Harlock said looking right into her eyes. "What are you talking about, wait are you a stalker, I...,I mean I don't know you!" Liz said panicking. "Calm down, I mean good Liz, am not bad really I promise" Harlock explained himself. "How can I be sure?!" Liz creased her brows waiting for an answer. "With this, here ...." he handed her an envelope. Liz felt nervous not sure if what she was doing was right or not "Come on, open it" he told her, gesturing at the envelope. "Okay?" Liz nodded and started opening the envelope. She opened it successfully and pulled out the package. There were pictures, she looked at Harold who nodded back at her, "Go ahead, take a look" he said to her reassuringly. Liz went ahead and looked at the pictures, she gasped at what she saw, "What is the meaning of this, tell me hurry up..." Liz was now panicking. "Calm down, I'll explain, but please first calm down," Harold told her. "Okay, so what is this..." she said trying to act as calm as she could. "What do you see?!" Harold tried to reason with her. "I told you to explain, not to ask me damn questions..." Liz shouted at him. "See, you are not yet calm, first calm down, look and tell me what you see!" Harold said "Someone burning down our house, isn't it?!" she said angrily. "Okay, that is the thing, your parents did not just die, they where killed!" Harold said rather seriously. "What, why, who..." Liz almost chocked at this. "Yes, that's true, they where supposed to burn all the whole block from your house as the first to the last but the fire did not reach that far because it was put out, remember you arrived back home before it could reach the other block and extinguished it. "Yes, I do remember but why, I mean who could kill our whole block!" Liz was surprised all this did not make sense, it was true there house was the first on the block but she did not understand it all quiet well. "Well I know who and why!" Harold said firmly.
