A knock on the door put the both of them to a halt. Derek looked at the door first before looking back at his wife who still longed for him.He wanted to ignore the knock but it came again and he called out, "Who's it?""Gina."A glance at his wife and he could see the discomfort that came with her hearing that name.He wasn't sure whether to tell Gina to come in or ask her to leave. It was going to be awkward if she came in and was face to face with his wife after that incident with Catherine slapping her.Catherine moved away from and began to adjust what she was wearing. He could tell that she was using that cue to leave his office already."Give me a minute," Derek said to Gina who was still standing outside the door and then started to get dressed completely as well. It felt like it was a little too early to have Gina in the office. But then he recalled that she was one of the early birds in the company.The time on the wall clock read seven thirty and he wondered how it was alr

"To us…" Richard Langston said as he raised his glass up for a toast.With a smile etched on Catherine's face, she said in return, "To us." Then they clinked their glasses together before drinking from each other's glass of wine.That was a sweet moment between them as they were celebrating their one-year anniversary. And to them, it was the best thing ever.But as they did their thing, there was someone watching them not too far away but right inside the restaurant they were having their anniversary date.It was Edna, Richard's legal wife, in a disguise that could as well prevent anyone from recognizing it was her except on a closer inspection.She followed the couple all the way to the restaurant, contempt brewing in her as she monitored their discreet activities. And yeah, she was able to get a decent picture of the two of them."I'm glad we're doing this," Richard told Catherine as he reached out for her hand on the table."Me too," Catherine muttered."It's crazy how it has been

Gina took a deep breath before knocking on the door that she believed led into the office of Mr. Benson Uriel of the New Age Holdings."Come in," the husky voice of the man behind the door ushered her in and she reluctantly pushed the door open to get into the man's office.The man was seated right behind his desk in the large office that could easily accomdate two smaller ones needed to get the job done for other workers.There was this mischievous smile mounted on Mr. Uriel's face that gave her the creeps as she approached his desk.The man stood up to acknowledge her immediately with an outstretched hand that Gina had a hard time taking. But she had to if she wanted things to go smoothly."Have a seat, please," he offered her."Thank you," she said.She put the documents she had with her on the table."These are the necessary things you requested for from my company. Everything needed to seal this deal is right there," she told the man who looked more interested in staring at her f

The restaurant which Mr. Uriel chose for their lunch was a fancy one. Certainly one that fit his class as a businessman.Despite the restaurant being in kind of an open environment, it wasn't enough to make Gina less calm.She has been tense since they first got in and the whole time she kept looking around, her eyes lingering about to find something she didn't list."You haven't touched your meal," Mr. Uriel said, forcing her attention back to him.She looked down at her plate of food and then looked back up at him. "I'm actually not hungry," she stated."I see," Mr. Uriel hummed as he picked up a piece of tissue which he used to clean his mouth. "You're not hungry or you just refuse to eat because it's with me?""Why am I here, Mr. Uriel?" Gina had to ask. Her tone clearly stated that she wasn't pleased with the whole setting."To have lunch with me, Miss Gina.""And…?""Discuss the contents of the contract that the New Age Holdings is supposed to sign.""Then let's get to the most

Derek already received a text from Gina earlier on which described her present location. And when he checked through the location via the map, it turned out to be a restaurant close to the Kingston's Hotel.Everything looked to be intertwining for Derek. But at the same time it made his activities less comfortable.It would have been a great thing if one of them wasn't less important than the other. Still it didn't change the fact that he had to look through one first before checking the other out.However, when he looked at the time, henoticed how time had gone since he received the text from Edna that indicated where his wife was.The fortunate part now was that the location of the two destinations were close by so he could at least kill two birds with one stone.He could tell that he was close to the Kingston's Hotel already. The closer he got, the more he worried about the scene he was going to meet when he eventually arrived at the venue.Derek found a space in the parking lot o

It took Derek a while to process the sight. And by that time, he was more than ready to do something that he shouldn't normally do.His face went in the direction of the naked Mr. Uriel who was in a dilemma. Anger and hatred consumed Derek as he looked at the man."You bastard!" he screamed at the man as he took out his phone and began taking multiple pictures of the scene."Stop that. What do you think you're doing?" The man asked as he tried to move away from the unconscious woman on the bed."What did you do to her, you bastard? What did you do?" Derek barked at the man as he pocketed his phone and began approaching him."I didn't do anything to her…""You didn't do anything yet she's lying on the bed unconscious?""Don't come near me. Stay back!"But Derek wasn't listening. Once he was right in front of the man, he balled his hand into a fist and punched the living day out of him.The punch sent the man down to the floor but Derek picked him up through the neck and then dished ano

Derek finally summoned the courage to reach out to Edna. This was hours after he was sure Gina was stable."Why the hell didn't you pick up my calls?" Edna sort of screamed into his ear immediately she picked up his call.He had to shift the device away from his ear a bit before speaking. "There was an emergency that I had to tend to," he said as brief as possible."What sort of emergency would prevent you from just sending a text at least?""An emergency that involved someone's life.""I see," her voice went lower than before. "Did you get through with the plan? Please tell me you did."He sighed. "I couldn't—"Edna didn't let him finish his statement before she barked at him. "Are you crazy? You missed out on this opportunity after everything I went through to make this work?""Calm down first," Derek tried to pacify her."Don't tell me to calm down! Don't fucking tell me to calm down! Why on earth would you not go through with the plan when you were just right there?""Will you lis

"So, how did you find out about the scene you witnessed?" the first officer asked Derek."I received a call from my colleague, Gina," Derek started to say, accompanied by scribbling from the other officer into a note. "She wanted me to meet up with her at a restaurant where she was supposed to have a meal with Mr. Uriel but I decided to check in at a nearby hotel first before heading to the restaurant…""That hotel is the hotel you found them, isn't it?""Yes," Derek affirms with a nod."And who is Mr. Benson Uriel to you and her?""A business partner. He's an administrative head in the New Age Holdings and my company, the Cora Limited, is in the middle of a contract deal with his company.""I see," the officer stated, a neutral look mounted up on his face. "If I may ask, why did you choose to check in at the hotel first? Were you already informed by your colleague about her being there with him?""Not at all. I chose to check in first because I wasn't planning on heading back to the
