Chapter 131Sofia woke up suddenly, her heart pounding loudly and beads of sweat all over her forehead. Despite the fact that her room was fully air-conditioned, she felt hot and suffocated. She got out of bed and opened the glass door window in her pajamas, going out into her verandah.She tried to calm herself down, stressing desperately to get the thoughts out of her head. She'd had one of those nightmares again. The images of herself pleading for mercy, trying to get away from her molesters and trying to fight back played over and over in her head like a slideshow. An overwhelming shudder came on her and she shook vehemently for a short time. She really needed to see her therapist.She stayed in the verandah for sometime before going back into her room. She slid her fingers over the keypad of her MacBook.3.38 a.mShe still had at least an hour to go before she could even think of preparing for the office. To wile away her time, she decided to run another review of the data analys

Chapter 133*Something as what? Look Wyatt..”“Come on Maria. I know you've missed me. You just keep denying it”He ran two fingers down her long sleeve which had a slit in it, exposing her skin. “Don’t you?”“Wyatt.. I'm… I'm married?”““ Fuck your marriage girl. You know I want you. And you want me too”“Wyatt…”He leaned in and their noses crossed, leading into a passionate kiss. His hands fell down to her waist and his hungry tongue intertwined with hers, the kiss deepening by the second. His hands went to her generous behind and he grabbed one of it, making her jerk a little. Before Maria could call herself to order, she had unbuttoned his shirt and her hands were already on his zipper. He pulled her dress up halfway and carried her to the bedroom, her legs wrapped around his waist and tongues still quite digging into each other's.Wyatt undid the rest of her dress and they ended up on the bed. Maria moaned softly, every part of her body was electrified. She'd missed this part o

Chapter 135Wyatt's Cadillac Celestiq pulled up in front of the building while the SUV containing three of his bodyguards pulled over behind him. The doorman of SkyRock Incorp got the door for Wyatt and he came out, his sharp Ray Ban sunglasses shielding his eyes from the hot sun. Wyatt adjusted his collar, staring at the immensely large and tall building. He pushed his hands into his pocket and waited for his bodyguards to arrange themselves. Tagging behind him, they walked up the stairs leading into the entrance of the building. Wyatt stopped for a second to look around, nodding his head at the impressive architecture of the place.“Not bad”, he said to himself. Taking his eyes off the ceiling, he put his glass back on. “Let's get to business, shall we?”His bodyguards nodded and they went over to the receptionist who'd been staring in awe at them. Meanwhile, Wyatt took his seat on one of the empty single armchairs.“Good day sirs. What can I…”“My boss has an appointment with you

Chapter 137The sun was setting already by the time Wyatt got to his hotel. The traffic had exhausted him and all he wanted to do was get some food and rest. And maybe some nice companionship… if that would help. Wyatt swiped his card on his room door as he swiped his notification bar down.No message yet from his personal assistant.The door beeped and he went in. His tummy still troubled him and he rushed into the bathroom as it attempted to upset him again. The rushing sound flushing came minutes later and Wyatt stepped out from the bathroom into the bedroom part of his suite, with a red robe on. He'd just finished from the toilet and had a shower from then on.The intercom beeped just had he'd decided to go over and order his dinner up.“Good evening sir.”“Evening. How are you doing?”“Very fine sir. I hope your day went great”“It was okay.”“That's splendid to hear sir..”“Okay, umm.. I'm really hungry and was wondering what's on the menu for dinner”“Just wanted to inform you

Chapter 139Asher's car pulled up at the hotel, now cordoned off and restricted. The yellow crime scene tape fluttered in the wind, threatening to snap with each gust. The scene was surreal, with policemen scattered throughout the area. As Asher stepped out of his car, the gravity of the situation sank in.The investigator emerged from the building, his demeanor somber. The air was unusually gusty and the wind blew a little more than normal, making the area cold. The once familiar surroundings now stood as a symbol of uncertainty, and the yellow crime scene tape twisted ominously, mirroring the complexities of the unfolding mystery.“Investigator”, Asher said as soon as he was close enough. It extended his hand and the investigator took it in a handshake.“Mr. Asher, you are here”“Yes. I heard about the murder case. What happened?”“The victim was shot in his hotel room yesterday but also seemed to have been poisoned too, so he couldn't have survived either way.”Asher shook his head
