Mello's throat went dry at the thoughts.He doesn't want to believe what his mind just processed.Just then, Deya walked in with a tray of bottled water in her hands.She walked to Mello who stood perplexed in front of the feeds, his thoughts rummaging within him." Here's your water, Sir" She said and Mello took it unconsciously, his eyes still on the monitors and she slowly left.He opened it and tried gulping the content when he realized the water was a little greenish.It was not something, someone would see easily unless they looked closely.He dropped it, curiousity etched on his face." Mera, Jeremy, you have to see this" he said and they came close.He handed the water to Mera who picked her microscope and examined the water." Did you add anything to the water" Mera asked as she examined the waterMello shook his head." Then how come the color is different and the water also have a strong odour ", She said. "But it looked okay to me. Tell me, what are you implying, Mera "
As the evening sun began its descent, casting warm hues across the opulent bedroom of Michael's apartment.Deya Barnes stirred awake in the luxurious bed she slept on. Her head throbbed with the remnants of last night's revelry, the memories of laughter and clinking glasses at the bar flooding back. She blinked, her eyes adjusting to the dimly lit room adorned with luxurious furnishings.With a groan, Deya sat up, her hand instinctively reaching for the bedside table where a glass of water awaited her parched throat. As she sipped, fragments of the previous night's events replayed in her mind like a blurry film. She remembered the taste of alcohol on her lips, the crashing sound of the ocean waves, and the feeling of sand on her legs.Yet, amidst the haze of memories, there was a growing unease. She recalled little details of conversations, fleeting glances exchanged with mysterious figures, and a sense of disorientation that lingered even in her dreams. Deya frowned, her thoughts s
(Same day)It was a cold night when Kelan stumbled upon the first clue to Sir Ren's secret business dealings. And as the city dimmed under the blanket of dusk, Kelan paced the dimly lit alleyway of the sea port, waiting anxiously for his informant. The flickering street lamp casted eerie shadows, adding to the tension that coiled in his chest.He checked his phone and saw it was dead, recalling his conversation with Mello earlier.He wondered what was happening over there with him.As he drowned himself in thoughts and took deep breath of the salty breeze mingling with the scent of diesel and decay. The distant hum of ship engines slowly taking him out of his thoughts.Footsteps echoed against the damp pavement, and Kelan's spy emerged from the darkness, his face obscured by the hood of his jacket. "Kelan, I've got news," he whispered urgently, glancing around nervously with his breath forming in the chilly night airKelan leaned in, his pulse quickening with anticipation. "What is i
Micheal sat at his desk that morning, a contented smile on his face as he reminisced about the previous day's events with Deya. Thoughts of her brought a sweet warmth to his heart, and he couldn't help but smile as he worked on his computer.They had fun, played and joked all through their time together.He couldn't shake the image of her leaving that morning, her playful smirk and her slight peck on his cheek igniting a sweet warmth in him.Just as he was fully immersed in his work, the door to his office swung open, and Kelan hurried in, his expression tense."What's wrong?" Micheal asked, noticing the urgency in Kelan's movements as he quickly made his way to a chair and sat down.Kelan took a deep breath, his eyes darting around the room before settling on Micheal. "I know about the missing funds," he blurted out, his voice barely above a whisper.Michael's heart skipped a beat, his smile fading as shock washed over him. "How... how do you know?" he asked, his voice tinged with dis
The atmosphere was tense as the shareholders gathered in the sleek, modern boardroom, murmuring amongst themselves as they awaited the arrival of the president.Confusion lingered in the air, evident in the furrowed brows and exchanged glances."I wonder what this meeting is about," one shareholder whispered to another, their voices hushed with anticipation."I have no idea. It must be something important for the President to call for a meeting urgently like this," came the reply, tinged with curiosity.Finally, the door swung open.And As Mello entered the grand hall,the atmosphere shifted and a hush fell over the hall.He stepped up to the podium, his presence commanding attention.His guards followed closely behind him, their presence a silent reassurance of authority and In his hand, he clutched the evidence Kelan had sent him, the key to the purpose of the meeting..

Mello stood tall, his expression stern yet satisfied, as he watched the disgraced shareholder being escorted out of the building by security. The weight of his decision hung heavy in the air, but he knew it was necessary to protect the integrity of the company." this marks the end of this meeting," he said and began to walk down the podium and the shareholders all stood and bowed in response.As he turned to leave the hall, he was met by Kelan and Michael, both wearing expressions of admiration and respect. Kelan, with a firm handshake and a congratulatory pat on the back, spoke first."Great job, president! That was a tough call, but you handled it with grace and precision," Kelan said, his voice filled with genuine admiration.Michael nodded in agreement, a proud smile on his face. "Absolutely, Mello. Your dedication to upholding our company's values is truly commendable. This sends a clear message that we won't tolerate any wrongdoing."Mello nodded in appreciation, grateful for t
And as Ma Clarissa followed Mello into the building, a sense of relief washed over herGuards kept bowing at every turn, at the sight of Mello." Well, I didn't expect to see you here after so long "Mello said watching as she glanced around anxiously.Nervousness was on her face." What are you saying, Mello? " She faked a smile.Mello laughed, gently removing his hand from her gripMa Clarissa but her lips, unsure of how to proceed. She knew that her presence here was unexpected, to say the least. But desperate times called for desperate measures, and she couldn't afford to let pride get in the way of what needed to be done. "I... I need to speak with you. It's about Lisa."Mello's heart skipped a beat at the mention of his wife's name. Despite their separation, he still cared deeply for her, and the thought of her mother might say next, stirred conflicting emotions within him."What about her? Is something wrong? Is she okay?"Mello said , realizing he still loved her.Ma Clarissa to
The evening son was almost setting when they arrived and the sleek black porsche pulled up to the airport terminal meant for VIPs.Mello stepped out, his expression a mix of pride and sadness. Beside him, his sister, Ana, watched as the flight attendants gathered her belongings, her eyes shining with excitement for her upcoming journey."Here we are, Ana. Are you sure you have everything?"Mello said,looking at the few people moving around.Ana nodded, a warm smile gracing her lips as she hugged her brother tightly. "Yes, Mello. I'm all set.
