“How can I crack this?” Amanda bit her lips slightly with her eyes fixed on the files in her hands.She reluctantly flipped to the next page looking depressed. It sounded ridiculous because they have finally gotten the evidence yet it was hard to solve the coding.“15, 14. 1, 21, 7, 21, 19, 20. 2023. 13, 1, 4, 1, 13.” She continued calling out the weird digits wondering what could be hiding behind it.Soon, there was a knock at the door and she put the files away.“Who’s it?” Her voice came up.Mr. Leonard walked into her office and they exchanged pleasantries.“I assumed you are still here.” He curled his lips.“Were you looking for me?” She raised a brow.“Of course.” His lips pursed. “We are visiting the new land we bought for our new structure, have you forgotten?” He questioned her rhetorically and she rolled her eyes, looking tired.“Oh, my goodness.” She returned to her desk. “I forgot, I have been so busy lately that organizational affairs keep slipping from my mind.” She said
“Madam Pia asks that you meet her on the terrace,” Stewart informed him courteously, and with a short nod, he walked over to the terrace.The cool breeze flushed on his face and he was welcomed by the intoxicating smell produced by the water flowers, he cleared his throat nervously and Grandma Pia faced him having an inexpressive facial expression.“You are here.” She was calm.“I will go first.” He walked closer. “I apologize for the mess I created.” He lowered his face to the ground.“It’s already fixed,” she sighed heavily while facing him. “If you met me earlier, I can’t imagine what I would have done to you.” She pursed her lips.“All these incidents are inevitable and this one was creepy because I couldn’t tell where the leak came from. Do we have a spy in Rich Hospital?” He pressed his lips against the other and Grandma Pia shook her head.“No, rather we have someone patiently waiting for our lapses to expose us to the public.” She assumed with certainty.“I have a feeling that
The black Benz rode inside the penitentiary and gradually stopped at the entrance, the officer checked their plate number and the driver’s license, but he curled away when he saw the person sitting in the back seat. He signaled his colleague who was at the opening point, and soon the gate opened and the driver drove in.“Who is that?” His colleague walked up to him after seeing how frozen he was and had no intention of returning to his seat.“It’s the boss, Richester.” His lips trembled and his colleague closed his mouth with his hands while his eyes widened.Raymond parked the car properly in the garage while Richester strolled into the prison yard with James.“Boss!” One of the prisoners saw him and was startled.“Boss?” As he walked into the hallway which had prison cells at both sides, they continued shouting and hailing him.“Boss!” Their voices echoed in the entire hallway as they were surprised and excited to see him.Richester waved at them and returned the gesture with a smil
A hard slap rested on Damien’s face, he wasn’t surprised and he didn’t support his cheek with his hand.Madam Harriet’s eyes were burning in fury. “Did I hear her correctly?” Her eyes shot daggers at him as she spat on his face.“Explain yourself, you clodpole!” She yelled at his face, all this time, Damien remained speechless.“Can’t you speak or the cat got your tongue?” Stella sneered at his face.“Honestly, I - -” He stopped halfway, having no explanation for his mess. He faced Stella, with his last resort in his mind.“Are you sure you saw us kissing?” Damien questioned, fringing anxiety and Stella scoffed in disbelief.“What?” She almost gasped. “Do you mean I have turned blind all of a sudden?” Stella questioned intently, looking dissatisfied.“I don’t mean that.” He paused. “It’s just that you must have seen it wrongly since you were stressed.” Damien figured, curling his lips.Madam Harriet haven a sharp sigh. “What is going on here?” She crossed her arms, watching them.“Loo
“Have you been trailing that woman?” Don Maximo asked Madam Harriet curtly and she nodded almost immediately.“Yes.” She began. “I planted a tail beside her. She hasn’t been suspicious these days.” Madam Harriet explained.“You are becoming better.” Don Maximo’s eyes shifted away from Madam Harriet to the door, as it pulled open. Stella stepped in.“What is she doing here?” Madam Harriet panicked.“Didn’t I tell you we will use your daughter too?” He sneered at her face. “Oh! You think I was kidding?” He spilled with a hitch of mockery in his voice.Madam Harriet pumped her fist in annoyance while Stella behaved as if she never saw her mother. That was exactly what the big boss wanted, he knew they were both ambitious and competitive, so he was eager to watch mother and daughter fighting over rights and benefits.“But I - -” Madam Harriet made a comeback but was shunned by Don Maximo’s hand in the air.It only made her look stupid and Stella smirked under her breath.“What’s the repor
“Who are you?” The elderly woman, Mrs. Amos pushed her children behind her as if they were kids.She had three kids, a junior boy who looked like a growing teen, a tall male who looked like a high school adult, and a senior lady who was dressed in a worn-out suit, she was a full-grown adult. She seems like the elder one among her siblings. These were the family of Mr. Amos who has been sentenced to jail for life after embezzling government funds and murdering a whole household.“Do we know you?” The senior daughter questioned anxiously after a brief silence.“Can you spare us some minutes?” Richester approached them with his hands tucked in his trouser pocket.Mrs. Amos dragged her daughter to her corner, looking cold and annoyed.“We owe you nothing. Leave us alone.” She gritted her teeth in anger. “I told you not to communicate with strangers, even if your dad is no longer here, we must obey whatever he says.” She mumbled disgustingly at her children and they lowered their heads.“A
“I have little or no time for this, Damien.” Stella batted her lashes at him, using the fork to pick her meal.“I thought we should do this since it has been a while.” Damien curled his lips. “Aren’t you happy to be with me?” He raised a brow.“Why should I?” She hissed. “I have so much work to tend to.” She informed him curtly.“Babe,” he grabbed her hand. She wanted to pull away but reluctantly played along. “I know I have done terrible things to you in the past but we are a couple.” He began with a sweet voice. “Please, I want us to get together again. Is there something I should do for you?” “Anything.” He added impatiently and she blushed.“Well - -” She rolled her eyes above, as though she was thinking while he focused his gaze on her.“You know what I love the most, don’t you?” She wiggled her brows and he pouted his lips, looking so childish.“I’m all ears.” He replied.“I need money.” She paused, counting her fingers. “How does 7 million dollars sound?” She raised a sly brow
“I don’t want to do this with you,” Richester said walking towards his hotel room, Amanda didn't intend to leave. It was obvious that she came for what she had in mind and she wasn’t leaving until he accepted her.“No.” She retorted.“I thought you were annoyed and angry with me?” He scoffed, sliding the card on the access board. She followed him into his room. “What’s all these, Amanda?” He spat at her face in annoyance.She was ruining his mission, unintentionally.“Recently, you have suddenly become a playboy. How about we play together?” She curled her lips, approaching him.He got nervous and started walking backward.“I’m not asking for an apology for your last action. All I need is you. I want you to be mine.” They stumbled on the soggy bed and she laid above him, he swallowed hard.“You are on me.” He struggled to say, seriously avoiding her sharp gaze.“I know and I don’t intend to leave.” She whispered flirtatiously, stroking his chest.“Amanda - -” He began but the system o
