Diana continued, after noticing that there was no reaction from Mark and her slanderous remarks at Justin, to continue painting him black in front of him. Her sister, Lilly, who at first tried to be a little bit more civil, joined in too to ridicule Justin's name."I really don't know why we see him everywhere," Lilly said. "I really agree with my sister here that he must be the one involved in this. He has always hated my family and I, after I dumped him for a better man, so there are a lot of reasons for us to believe he is involved.""And again, we have seen him with you a number of times," Diana chipped in once more. "And we think you would be the best person to look into the matter, and tell us what is going on."Mark stared at them solemnly. In his mind he did not know how to react to their statements. Now he could finally sympathize with Justin who, at the cafe, and also at the road, how he did not try to waste his breath to argue back at them. They were nothing but insufferab

Diana knew that Mark was merely only mocking them, but she also listened to her father, and stayed quiet according to the instructions given to her by him. Her blood was boiling hot underneath all the composure that she strove to put out there.Mark observed her movements. He smiled, knowing that if she was given a chance she would come up there to the table and give him a punch to his face. She was way more hot blooded and fiesty than her sister, Lilly, who was moge concerned about Bruce at the time, than anybody else.Now all he had to do was to wait and hear from Justin his boss on the verdict he would prefer to serve to the released prisoners. They were all talking to each other, he did not think that they should not be allowed to. He actually amused himself from watching them murmur and tell themselves stories of how they all ended up there, in that same room."So how did the both of you end up here?" Bruce asked Lilly who kept him steady so he wouldn't trip and fall to the floor

"Fired?" Bruce started, almost unable to believe what he had just heard. He was finally out of the four walls that held him for days, but he still had this fear of being locked up. The other thing he feared more was being let off. This business he had with the Drogonuvs was his means of livelihood. The only reason he could get the woman he wanted, even when she was someone else's wife. He knew that if he were to lose this job, then he would lose it all. "Please sir..." He was on his knees now, like the rest of the people in the room. "Please, do not let me off. Have mercy on me, please. This job is my life. I can not be fired.""Yes, sir. This job is the only reason I can live well and take care of my two daughters. Look at them." Mr Tucson said, pointing at Lilly and Diana. "And as you can see, my wife and I really need this job because we are getting older by the day. We need this business because we have to save more for our older years. And we have been running this for a long tim

Immediately, they all hurried out of the office for fear of being locked up if they were walking too slow. The few days they had sent in their little cell was enough for a lifetime. They all scurried down the hallway, searching for the elevator. And the moment they found it, they all squeezed in and descended to the first floor. Each person looked so happy to finally be out. The receptionist glanced at them and looked away immediately. Whatever had happened to them was none of her business. Her only one concern and duty was to welcome guests to the headquarters.Diana looked at her angrily but could not do anything for fear of being locked up just like the rest. They immediately left the building and rushed past security. Once totally outside, they all took deep breaths.Diana and Lilly immediately hugged their parents once more."Please, do not ever return here, unless you are asked to. We were so worried about you." Diana started, holding both her parents by their hands. "You can't

"Shut up." Leanne said in anger and got to her feet. She turned and faced Bruce, her eyes burning with so much rage. "You act like you're all that when you are not. The real truth is that I am in this mess because of you. I lost my boutique because of you. Now I am trying to set things straight by fixing my wrongs and you are trying to discourage me? What is wrong with you? Why are you so full of yourself? Acting all high and mighty when you really can't do anything? That is why you were demoted today and you know it."Her words were harsh and piercing, even to the people she wasn't referring to. They looked at her in surprise. She didn't seem like someone who had a sharp tongue so they were extremely surprised at her outburst."Wait what?" Bruce finally managed to say. "Now you're really blaming me? Aren't you the one who made your decisions on your own? Did I force you?" He scoffed in disbelief and shook his head. "And to think I even got locked up because I came here to try and hel
