Elena's hand hovered over the door handle, ready to exit the car, already in front of her home, when her phone suddenly pierced the silence. She hesitated, eyes narrowing at the screen displaying Jane's name. With a slight furrow of her brow, Elena answered, her voice cautious."Hello?"Jane's excited voice burst through the line, words tumbling out in a rush. "Elena, why are you! The man is here, he is waiting for you, And he's about to meet with the President! They are already waiting for you in the five-star restaurant."Elena's expression transformed, her eyes widening in surprise. "Really, but it's late already.""Elena, remember how you really need this, please come very fast," Jane motivated her. "Okay then, I'm on my way.""Be quick," Jane said before hanging up. Elena exhaled as she rested on the car sofa, she was exhausted already. Then, she brought out her phone to call Alexander and told him about it. But it was not going through. She tried again but still to no avail. S
The man looked up, and Elena's smile froze on her face as she was shocked and electrified. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she felt like she was staring at a ghost.The man in front of her was Ryan, the bastard who framed them and nearly sent them to prison."Uhn? Is it you? The man I am meeting today!" Elena's forehead formed lines, and she frowned.Ryan smiled and took a sip of his wine. Elena felt betrayed that she was set up to meet him.Ryan's smile grew wider as he gestured to the empty chair across from him, "Please, Elena, sit down. It's been a long time.""Yeah, long time since you failed to throw me in prison!" she snapped."Be calm, Elena. Let's talk this out. I have already gone over you. Jane showed me your pics that you need help, and I'm in the position to help," Ryan stated."She deceived me here, to meet you. I will never forgive her," Elena growled, very angry."Elena, I already have my own girlfriend. You are just a mere stranger to me. I just really like to help
Alexander smiled at the chief of police and stretched his hand for a handshake, "Hello sir. Long time."The chief, shocked and didn't even know how to respond for some moments, he jogged into his barns as he took the shake and bowed down."Well, I think you have some business to take care of here," Alexander stated. The chief stated to his wife and son as he yelled at them, "What the hell did you two do to him?"His wife was shocked and startled, she flinched; her husband wasn't that angry with her. "Davis, what's wrong… this is the man that is insulting and abusing us.""Shut your mouth up, I know you two are troublemakers and you are lying," he ranted at them. The officers were also shocked by their chief's reaction.Liam stepped forward, "Dad, how can you be saying that to us when this imbecile and his father were the ones that stepped on our nerves?"Charles spoke up, "I stepped on you, and I apologize, but you call my mom a bitch, while your mom was the one abusing us, we did not
Alexander didn't know what to do. Unfortunately, the CCTV at the restaurant at that moment was jammed, and they couldn't get any footage of what happened. But the waitress told him they saw her with a man. The phone was locked, and he had called the butler for it.He immediately called Mr. Evans to see if he can hack it."Where are you, sir? The hacking experts will come with me," Mr. Butler stated as Alexander immediately stated where he was.After some minutes, Mr. Evans arrived with two people who appeared to be experts in their field. One was a young woman with a backpack full of gadgets, and the other was a tall, lanky man with a laptop bag slung over his shoulder."Alexander, this is Rachel, our cybersecurity expert, and Jake, her partner," Mr. Evans introduced.Alexander, without wasting any time, gave them the device.Rachel quickly got to work, pulling out a device that looked like a small robot and attaching it to the phone. After a few minutes of tinkering, she announced, "
Elena's head spun as she tried to open her eyes; everything was at first a blur. She groaned and could hear some people mumbling beside her. After a few seconds, it started getting clearer, and she could see that she was in the hospital with Alexander and Charles beside her."Hey, how are you feeling? Are you okay?" Alexander immediately stood up, putting his palm on her forehead. Elena scoffed as she tried to get up, and Alexander helped her."Mom," Charles mumbled."My son, I'm fine, you shouldn't worry," Elena mumbled. Charles's face was filled with worry."How could you meet with Ryan, how…" Alexander scolded her."I don't know, he was the one I was meeting in the first place," Elena stated. Just then, the door opened, and Jane entered. Elena gave him a hot shot gaze as she told Charles to excuse them.Elena's voice was filled with rage. "What audacity do you have to come here after setting me up with that monster?"Jane was humbled as he walked gently towards her. "I... I didn't
Alexander scoffed seeing the headlines, his eyes widened in disbelief as he read the headline on his phone and quickly scrolled through the article. There was his name in all the articles and faces. He called Mr. Evans, asking him to give him the location of the publishing press that wrote the article."Okay, sir, but my suggestion is that you should stay away from the company for the time being. There were already protesters in front of the company," Mr. Evans said."Okay, I will… but I want to know who published the articles and why," he said before hanging up. He knew that before he claimed the company now, he had to clear his name as soon as possible.He was about to walk away when his phone rang. He wondered who it was and picked it up."Hello, rapist," the feminine voice said, and he immediately knew it was Tracy, she was the one behind this."Tracy… are you enjoying this?" he asked."Very much, like… I'm happy. Next time you won't dare to mess up with me. How could you have me
Truly, Elena became one of the first people to arrive at the banquet avenue, dressed in a casual long gown, but it was so beautiful with flowery designs. The banquet, which took place in the new company, the hall that was set aside for it looked fancy, with pretty flowers and shiny lights. Tables were set nicely with fancy clothes and chairs. Delicious smells filled the air, and soft music played in the background. The people took themselves in pairs, talking. While Elena checked her phone, she was expecting Alexander's call, since the day she was being discharged from the hospital, she had not heard from him.She tried calling him many times, but it did not go through.She tried again, and it didn't go, she growled in frustration, and decided to forget about that and focus on the banquet.Just then, a hand slipped through her waist, "wow, you look beautiful", it was Micheal, grinning. Elena smiled at him.and stylishly took off his hand, she knew Micheal had interest in her. but she
Elena's face was cold and stiff, then it drastically changed to that of surprise and confusion, Because someone just entered. It was Alexander!!! Dressed in a well tailored and fitted suit, with his curly dark hair, he looked completely different, like more handsome. Seeing him was not what made Elena shocked but the fact that a lady curled herself around him.The lady was blind with long yellow tinted hair, wearing a very short gown that revealed almost all her tight, and bare shoulders with 97 percent of her breast out, she looked slutty and undeniably hot.All the people started whispering to each other, they knew the lady, she was Olivia, The daughter of a Chinese entrepreneur, Mr. Xiang. Her mother was an American."Is she not the daughter of Mr. Xiang?"."Wow, always looking sluty as ever"."Is that her husband, he is lucky".Hearing this made Elena blood boil in jealousy, she threw her gaze away and finally picked up a glass of wine and drowned it."What!, What is that lowli
