Shelly left the Lidigo offices pissed and unsatisfied with the evening's events. She had expected to get on Daniel's nerves using Josh Hamilton, but her plan did not go as planned, though Josh had managed to piss off Daniel on his own.However, she was curious to know what they talked about. She doubted their discussion was about the artifact; she had a feeling it was something else, but she could not put a finger on it. She planned to find what it was at all costs.She arrived at the apartment and stood at the entrance, watching the place with disgust. Her life was reduced to garbage, and never in a million years did she ever think of renting an ugly old apartment. Daniel was going to pay for everything sooner or later.She walked in expecting to find Michael wallowing in his misery, but she found the place empty. She quickly dialed his line, which went unanswered. She kept trying his line, but to no avail.She couldn't help but think he was doing something stupid that would land the

Meanwhile, Shelly stood in the bathroom staring at her bloody, swollen eye. It was the first time in her life that a man had hit her. She was still in disbelief; her ribs ached and her entire back felt like someone had placed a log on it.She lifted her shirt, checking her ribs, which had bruises all over her sides and back. The fact that he dared to touch her made her skin crawl. She was tempted to boil water and throw it on him.In the other room, Michael opened his eyes, knowing very well the events of the previous night. He looked on the other side of the bed, finding it empty. He did not remember her joining him. He looked around the room and could not find her.He stood up, realizing he'd made a mistake. He walked up to the bathroom door and tried to open it, but it was locked. He knocked, asking if she was inside, but Shelly ignored him."Shelly, please open up; I am sorry; please open the door," he begged, but the door went unanswered.Tired of knocking, he decided to wait in

Daniel kept staring at her as his heart rate increased. He had had a lot of women throw themselves at him naked, but none of them ever gave him the effect he was experiencing. He moved two steps ahead, but Rexa's voice snapped him back to reality.His blood pressure was way above normal; it was her duty to inform him of any red flags.Daniel quickly came to his senses and grabbed something to cover her up."What are you doing, Cathy?" he asked in a disappointed tone. As much as he wanted to have her, he couldn't. She was a desperate woman trying to throw herself at him, which was not her character. He had known her since they were little toddlers and watched her grow into a respectful young woman."I..I.." Cathy stammered out of words. She had expected Daniel not to reject her, which would have been easier than explaining what she was about to do."Why Cathy?" Daniel kept asking."I... thought you liked me," she replied, looking away. All she could do was soak in her shame as Daniel l

A screeching, painful ring vibrated in Craig's ear as he landed hard on the floor. As he knew it, he was sure his life was going to be over and he was not going to get up.He could only guess that Mateo knew about his sister's disappearance and was going to kill him right there."Get up! Get up, you lousy bastard!" Mateo yelled at him. "I specifically sent you instructions not to go anywhere near that Daniel, but it looks like you want us to get rid of him!" He warned.Hearing that, Craig quickly got up, wiping some of the blood that was at the corner of his mouth. He began regretting his answer; now that the punch had hit his head, it had brought some senses back."I am sorry; it was a mistake. I will never go anywhere near Daniel," he stated.Mateo grabbed him by the face and placed a kiss on his forehead."You are my future brother-in-law and I am not supposed to hurt you," he whispered. "Do you understand what it means to be my in-law?" He asked. With a bloodshot eye, Craig stare

Daniel felt his skin crawl with the press of her lips on his cheek. He felt like pushing her off of him, but he noticed Josh behind her staring at them murderously. If looks could kill, both he and Kendall would have evaporated."Do you prefer on your lips?" Shelly whispered.Daniel tilted his head a little bit, giving her a warning look. For someone whose family he had just destroyed and taken everything from, she had no problem placing her mouth on him.Shelly moved away but kept her hand in his as Josh moved closer to where they were standing."Hello Josh," she waved."Hello, Shelly," Josh replied, trying to control his rage."What brings you here?" Daniel asked without any form of greeting.Shelly couldn't help but notice the tension between the two. She had earlier sensed it but thought she was trying to see what wasn't there."I need to talk to you in your office, Daniel," Josh replied."Has your brother returned my playing toy?" Daniel asked instead.Josh chuckled in disappoint
