Mike Taylor alighted from a car in front of Loretta’s restaurant and made his way in.He wrapped his arms around Sylvie when he got to them. “Darling.” He pressed a quick kiss on her hair, flashing a smile at a tear faced Loretta.“Mr Taylor, we agreed not to-” Loretta was cut off by Sylvie. “Darling, when are the men going to be done?”“Very soon.” Mike replied, as one of them approached him. “Go into the kitchen and take out all the large equipment, we need to clear this place for my fiancé.”His words sank into Loretta’s head with chilling horror. “What did you just say?”Sylvie put up her best smile possible. “Dear cousin, I’m taking over this place in 3 days, so I want it fully renovated to be a beauty salon.” She clapped her hands excitedly. “It’ll become one of the best in town, don’t you think?”“What?” Loretta let out a strangled gasp. Mike stepped away from Sylvie, staring at Loretta. He was touched by the sheen of tears in her eyes. Loretta Moore seemed like a helpless pr

Wayne twirled the pen in his fingers, flipping through the documents in front of him. He was sitting in the Manager’s office, trying to go through the Business Investment for Las Vegas Oil that Henry handed to him.But he was finding it hard to concentrate on the files.His mind went waltzing back to what happened at Loretta’s restaurant yesterday. Mike Taylor would be planning some retribution by now. It would be best if he keeps a better eye on his wife.Last night, after they left the sitting heading back to their room, he’d tried to get Loretta not to worry and assure her he’ll pay the loan for her, but she broke down in tears. She was already overwhelmed with all that had happened, coupled with the fact that her Grandma had driven her to a tight corner.Wayne tugged on his shirt button nervously. He had something else to be worried about. The results of the DNA test was going to be out this evening. All of his plans was dependent on that test.He sat up when his phone suddenly pi

“Kindly answer my question, Mr Rogers.” Wayne repeated, his voice chilly and terrifying. “Did you really meet my parents on the floor, dead even before the fire engulfed the whole house?”Ben flinched, his lips quivering. “Look here, Mr Costa.” He adjusted his tie nervously. “My statement is still the same I gave the police, I couldn’t find the courage to go in. We all waited outside as the fire engulfed the house, I only set my eyes on them after the fire fighter’s arrived.” “Really?” Wayne asked, his gaze piercing deeper into the man’s. He had a hunch that this man was lying.“I’m telling you the truth!”“I see.” Wayne relaxed back on his chair, his hands gripping the glass tight as he stared at Ben who was looking all unsettled.There was no use of forcing the truth from him. He would get it through other means.“One more question,” Wayne spoke again. “Did you note anything unusual that happened before their death, like a few hours, a day or a few days before-” He was suddenly cut

Wayne was in their room, helping Elsa with her homework and keeping an eye on his phone at the same time. He’d called Loretta three times now, but she wasn’t answering the calls.When he arrived from the Kindergarten with Elsa, he didn’t meet his wife. He’d tried to enquire from some of the helpers where she left for, but none of them replied politely, they were all rude to him.“Daddy! I’m done with my homework.” Elsa announced and got up to arrange the books into her bag.Wayne picked his phone, dialing Loretta’s number again.He had a unexplainable bad feeling in the pit of his stomach, and he just couldn’t help feeling restless. If only she could pick her calls.He rubbed his nape nervously. Where could she have gone to?The phone rang for a long time and came to a stop. Still no answer.Wayne adjusted his tie and got up. He just couldn’t sit here while his wife was probably in danger out there, somewhere.“Daddy, where is Mummy?” His daughter’s voice pierced into his thoughts. “

When they arrived home, Wayne tried to speak to Loretta, but she ignored him. She managed to flash a small smile at their daughter and trudge up the stairs.“Daddy? Was Mummy crying?” Elsa asked, immediately her father picked her up.Guilt ate at Wayne’s heart and he shook his head. “I’m sorry, baby. I made your mother cry.”“I know what makes Mummy feel better!” Elsa whispered into her father’s ears.Wayne smiled and nodded, placing her down. “Why don’t you go upstairs to keep Mummy some company while I go prepare her favorite food?” He handed her a paper bag as well.“Chocolates! Thank you Daddy!” Elsa jumped in excitement when she opened the bag.He was glad he asked Mark to bring some chocolates along, the smile on Elsa’s face right now was priceless. Just then, someone cleared their throats behind them and Wayne turned to see Aleena, glaring at him with hatred.Wayne greeted her, but she didn’t reply.But when Elsa offered Dennis some chocolates, she opened her mouth. “My child
