Camella sighted Nicholas in the cafeteria, she turned her back immediately to avoid him seeing her, finding her way to the elevator.
She kept praying in her heart not to be seen by Nicholas
"Top floor," She said, quickly pressing the 11th button in the elevator.
When the elevator reached the 11th floor, it opened, Camella walked out and made her way to Kim Orme's office.
Knock knock.
"Who is there? come in"
Camella opened the door, and the cat walked to Kim Orme's desk.
"Miss me?" She asked, smiling.
"Oh dear." Kim Orme stood up to kiss her.
"You forgot about your boyfriend."
"I didn't, we have to lie low for now to avoid suspicion"
"So tell me, did you get those pictures?"
"No." Camella answered smiling, but to her surprise, Kim Orme pinned her to the wall trying to strangle her.
She beat his hands, telling him to tell her to go.
Kim Orme hardened his grip on her neck "What were you doing that you couldn't get those pictures huh?"
"How careless of you. Have you forgotten what will happen if those nude pictures are released?" He yelled at her.
He freed her, hitting the wall with his fist. Camella coughed trying to catch her breath.
"You... You're trying to kill me, how dare you!" She screamed at him.
He moved closer to her in which she shifted back scared. He patted her head softly and kissed her forehead.
"If those nudes leak you will face shame alone." He said to her,
"What?" She didn't understand what he was saying.
Kim Orme smiled "Take a look at this, I'm the CEO of this entertainment agency, I have influential people and connections while you are a model. "
"The world will judge you, society will criticize you for being shameless. They will spit at you calling you a desperate whore trying to use her body."
"Do you think I will go down alone? I will tell everyone you lured me into sleeping with you" Camella said.
He burst into laughter "You are funny, my dear all I have to do is to shift the blame on you. Who would believe you? Who would listen to you? Nobody."
"So you better think of a way to get those nudes from him or I release them myself. I still have the other nudes you sent to me on my phone. All I have to do is release them myself."
"You bastard!"
"Your boyfriend, not me! After all, I spent millions on you which he would never do."
"I thought you loved me?"
"I do sweetie but you see my image, my company, money? I love them all and I won't allow anyone to damage it."
"So what do we do?"
"Now you are talking, I'm suggesting we get rid of him."
"We should? How?" Camella asked worriedly.
"We set him up and frame him for rape."
"Rape? How?"
"Sophia Xandro will be shooting a movie with him. I will get some man to strip her attempting to rape her then I will frame Nicholas for doing so. The man will be wearing the same dress as Nicholas and both will be in masks." He paused, watching her expression before continuing.
"I will give a particular dress to him for the movie, and then during the break, I will sneak someone in wearing that same dress. Sophia Xandro is a popular actress, the news will be everywhere. Nicholas will be humiliated and put in prison for a long time. Isn't it a great idea? ''He asked, smiling but Camella wasn't buying the idea. She will feel guilty her entire life doing that to Nicholas.
He is someone who loved her wholeheartedly.
"I can't do this." She shifted a little bit from him.
"Your reason?" Kim Orme raised a brow.
"We will be framing an innocent man for our mistake. No. Nicholas will spend the majority of his life in prison while we..." She paused, unable to complete her statement.
"We what?"
"We enjoy our lives, which shouldn't be so."
"Are you kidding me?, Listen to me dear" He pulled her close to himself and whispered into her ears.
"We do this or... we kill him."
Camella jolted back, her heart beating fast after hearing that. Now they have to kill him?
"Do we have to do that?" She asked, scared.
"Of course, killing him is better, no stress, no plan, no setup, nothing."
"It is safer to silence him forever, what do you think?"
"I... I think..." Camella stammered confused.
"Let's do this dear, you will lead him to where he will be murdered. It's simple."
"mmm" Camella hummed, nodding her head. Maybe annihilating him wouldn't be a bad idea, at least his mouth would be sealed forever and she would live freely without guilt.
"Fine." She said,
Kim Orme looked at her in astonishment wondering why she agreed to that quickly. She opposed setting him up earlier.
Women.
He rolled his eyes, and went to sit down thinking then his face brightened as a thought crossed his mind. "I change my mind, let's do it on set. Nicholas will be going to Peng Forest to shoot a movie. After the shooting, you will call him to lure him pretending that you are being kidnapped. Nicholas will rush to you and from there... he will be killed."
Camella thought deeply about what he said would be the fastest way but she became curious about some things.
"What if people get to know? there will be other actors, and actresses, then the shooting crew, and stylist. What of those people?"
"They wouldn't know. I will take care of that, all you have to do is to call him crying, pretending you were kidnapped, Nicholas ran over to rescue you."
"In the same forest?"
"Yes, just a little bit deeper."
"We do the work and leave dumping his body there, then there will be news, search, investigations and all that."
"What if we were caught by the police?" Camella trembled.
"Forest doesn't have CCTV!" He shouted in annoyance.
"And we will be wearing a hand glove so our fingerprints won't be getting, we will get rid of his phone also."
"Deal?" Kim Orme stretched forth his hand to her.
"Deal." She smiled, shaking his hand.
Just then, Nicholas call came in. She told Kim Orme to be quiet and picked up the call.
"Dear?"
"Hey baby, where are you?" Nicholas asked over the phone.
"I'm...in..."
"I saw you at the cafeteria, I wasn't sure if it's you though."
"Oh, you saw me? I came to give you the lunch I prepared. I asked your colleagues about you, where are you?"
"I'm out already. You should have called."
"Whoops. It escaped my mind, I will join you outside now."
"Alright, I'm waiting." He said and changed up.
"Phew, that was close!" Camella said.
"I have to go, see you later." She grabbed her bag and left As she was leaving, Kim Orme stopped her.
"Don't forget the plan. I will text you tonight." He winked at her.
Nicholas has been waiting for Camella for some minutes. "What's keeping her?" He wondered. He playfully kicked his leg on the space, keeping himself busy. Camella came out of the building, Nicholas could see through her disturbed mind. 'Was she crying? '"Hey, I kept you waiting right? I'm sorry" Camella apologized. Nicholas noticed she was a little bit shaken and her eyes were swollen like she was crying. "Is everything alright?" He asked, moving close to her, he touched her face "Did you cry?" She shifted immediately from him "Let's go home" She walked away. "Is she avoiding contact with me?" Nicholas asked no one in particular. They both took a cab home, at home, Camella pretended to be sad, she even faked tears to avoid him questioning her. Two days later, Nicholas is in Peng Mountain, a tall mountain in a thick forest in Seoul. He is to come with other crew members to shoot the movie. The movie crew shot some scenes till nightfall. While shooting the last scene for the
Nicholas drowned in the sea and died.Suddenly, There was a loud vibration in the water, the vibration shook the whole of the sea. Nicholas opened his eyes immediately, he thought he was drowning but surprisingly he was breathing fine under water, floating. 'What's happening?' Nicholas thought. He can't swim so how is he floating ,and secondly he is breathing without an oxygen tank! "Oh surely I'm dead, what is this? Heaven?" He closed his eyes back but opened it immediately. "Mhm?" Due to the coldness of the water, Nicholas knew he was in the deep, deep, depth of the sea. "Is this my spirit?, my ghost?" He pinched himself severally, he felt no pain! "Yes, I'm dead" He lies to allow himself to drown. [Host detected... System activated] "What was that?" "Who's here? Who is speaking?, mermaids? Sharks" He hugged himself frightened. "Jeez, I watch too many horror movies, Sharks can't speak" He assured himself. A beeping sound was heard. "What's that? What's happening?" The b
Nicholas woke up by the sound of cars horning, he found himself on the ground by the roadside with his head banging, he struggled to get up in his wet and tattered dress.Nicholas left the roadside having no idea of where he was going, but he kept on walking, it was as if something was leading him or showing him the way. Nicholas remembered the water incident, "was it real?" He wondered. "Or a dream?".After walking for some minutes, he got to the bus stop where he stood waiting for the bus."This is strange?, how do I know the way from the forest to here?" Nicholas thought.Surprisingly he felt no pain, there were no bruises or injuries on him. Though he was drenched with water. "This system of a thing is it real? , it wasn't a dream?""I was dead and brought back to life through a water system, so ridiculous!"He laughed away the thought.The bus arrived five minutes later, lucky for Nicholas, he still had the coins he kept in his pocket on the day of the plot.Immediately he enter
Nicholas ignored the system, calling it fake. He left the restroom to the reception where Karen was.The doctor had just finished talking to Karen, Karen was looking sad and worried."What did the doctor say?"Nicholas asked her.Karen took a deep breath," The doctor said She is in a critical condition and if the payment isn't made today for her surgery to be performed today, She will die"Nicholas felt crushed hearing that. He suddenly rushed out of the hospital, Karen called after him but he didn't answer her.Nicholas went home to look for his golden ring, he had no choice but to sell it. He searched everywhere but couldn't find it."Did Camella take it?" He was worried, He checked under his bed and in his wardrobe but he didn't see it."No, Camella can't be that cheap to steal his golden ring" He sat on the bed, lost in thoughts, then he remembered he had checked a place.He rushed to the kitchen and checked under the carpet and there it was.He picked it and cleaned it with a piec
Nicholas's phone beeped, receiving a message from the bank. (Our esteemed customer, Your attention is needed in the bank for an account upgrade for the 10,000,000 that just entered into your bank account) Nicholas read the message and jumped off the bed immediately, removing the drip connected to him. He changed from a hospital dress to his dress, and as he was about to leave, the nurse came in. "Where are you going? you haven't fully recovered," The nurse said, holding a tray with medications and a file. "I need to go, I'm okay," Nicholas said and dashed off. "But... Wait, Mr." The nurse called after him but he was already gone. Nicholas took a taxi to the bank where he settled the issue about the money then from there he went to the pawn shop to get his golden ring. The pawn shop owner smiled when he saw Nicholas. "Do you have another valuable item to sell, poor child, you must badly need money" The pawn shop owner said, cleaning a golden watch with a napkin. "Everyone need
"Dinner is here, "A waiter said coming in with a trolley, there were two more waitresses behind him.One holding another tray while the other was holding a champagne with a glass."Yes, dinner" Nicholas moved aside to allow them to pass through. They served the food on the dining table, there were varieties of food, fruits, and desserts. Then the other waitress with champagne popped and poured it into a glass cup."If you need anything, you should let us know using the telephone," The waiter said and bowed, the rest lowered their head as well and left. "Woo!" Nicholas jumped excitedly, he danced around the room, perceiving the aroma of the food placed on the table.Then he sat and ate like he hadn't eaten in days which is true. Nicholas has not had a decent meal for some months not to talk of a luxurious one like these.Finished eating, he ate his dessert and finished the bottle of champagne. "Life is good" He belched, threw himself on the soft bed, and slept like a baby. Nicholas
At night, Nicholas was fast asleep when he heard a loud vibration, he woke up immediately, covering his ears."Agh, what's that?" He groaned. The system appeared to him. {Nicholas Shane, next task loading} it's said, beeping. "Really?" Nicholas rubbed his eyes and yawned, stretching his body. He took his phone from the drawer beside him and checked the time "1 am? This system must be kidding me"Anyway, this is the system that gave him $10,000,000, he shouldn't be an ingrate. {Nicholas Shane, get up and go to Neon Street, then he should stay there for thirty minutes}.Nicholas burst out in laughter, why would he go to Neon Street in the middle of the night just to stand for thirty minutes, it's ridiculous!"It's too late, I can't go"{You have to}."Jeez, didn't you check the time, it's 1 am, why should I go there just to stand and do nothing" {That's the task given to you today}Nicholas stood up and stood still like a statue "See, is it not standing, I'm a good stander, if the
Chapter 12 {Conversion successful} "Don't!" Nicholas heard her scream. *Bang* He felt something hard on his head, then he fell to the ground. Everywhere became a blur till he lost consciousness. It happened in a twinkle of an eye. "Ah" Nicholas groaned in pain immediately he opened his eyes, He woke up with a headache, he sat up, looking around but he had no idea where he was. The room is beautiful just like a hotel room, the sunlight flashed through his eyes. He got up and left the room. Nicholas burst into a big and beautifully decorated hallway with servants running here and there doing their chores. "Where am I?" He wondered. Just in, A male servant walked up to him, and lowered his head "Good morning sir, I have been instructed to take you to the dining room" He said. "Dining room?, okay" The mention of food brought excitement to Nicholas, he followed the servant. As they went, Nicholas couldn't stop admiring the mansion. They finally got to the dining room, it was so
