After a tiresome day, Andrew would have gladly returned to the comforts of his room, but Isabella was in the corridor waiting for him. "Hey, Andrew. What has been happening at your place of work since yesterday -? I heard that you sacked three managers within a few hours of resuming work." "Yes. They were all involved in stealing from the company." "What about Daly, what is the reason why you sacked him?" "He was molesting the female staff. I heard you were informed, but turned a blind ear to the accusation." "Because it was baseless and based only on hearsay. Did you have any evidence, or you sacked him because of Mirian's accusation?" "Madam Agatha also testified against him." "Madam Agatha's testimony is based on her feud with Daly, and should not be taken into consideration... She accused Daly of sleeping with her daughter, and they had been at loggerhead since then." "Daly is a reek, Isabella. Why are you protecting him?" "What did you mean by protecting him? I was just
"Meghan is Daly's friend. And both of them have Isabella's sex tape. And that is what they had been using to blackmail her all along. They even sent one of them to me, but I deleted it immediately." "Geez! I know he is a rascal. Thank you for trusting me. But why doesn't she go to the police?" "The tape is already in the hand of an unknown agent named Anonymous. They will release it to the public whenever Daly or Meghan are arrested for the crime. Or if they heard we inform the police." "How can we help her? People like Daly were leaches, and they will continue to suck you until you die. And then look for another poor host to feed on. I believe the police are capable of pulling this off." "It's very dangerous, Andrew. It's safer to dance to their tunes and save Isabella from humiliation." "I know it's dangerous, but we can't fold our hands and watch them take over the company. We need to act, and the right time is now." "What did you have in mind?" "We need to find the anonymous
Jackson did not return on Saturday, nor was he seen on Sunday. And by Monday, Andrew was already fuming with anger at his betrayal. Unfortunately for him, Jasmine keeps teasing him. "Did I warn you or not? The young man had disappeared into the thin air. I won't be surprised if he had sold the car and escaped to another country." "He can't," Andrew answered back. "His children were still with Simpson, and she informed me that she had never set eyes on him." "Did you tell her to inform the police as soon as she set eyes on him? We can't let him escape with your car." "The car is not mine. I bought it for him. How many times did I have to remind you that?" "Hey. No need to yell at me. I was just trying to help." "What did you give to him?" "Some cash for Ajay. Joined with the one you gave to him and the money he will be making from the sales of the Bentley. He had enough cash to take him far away from us." "I hope nothing bad had happened to him. I called all the police posts al
"Help. Someone is dying here!" Andrew opened his mouth to shriek, but he doubted that his throat produced a sound. He had seen dead bodies before, dead and mutilated. But it wasn't like this gruesome scene before him.Whoever did the job had done a nice and professional job. "Help!" He saw the receptionist as she raced into the room, gawked at him with sombre eyes, and then at the dead man on the floor. "What happened to him, Sir?" "I have no idea, I met him like this." "Oh my gosh! He was alright when I served him liquor some minutes ago. Did you say that you met him like this?" "I sure do now go and call 911. And tell them to come with an ambulance." "You won't run away, will you?" "Why should I run away? Oh my goodness! You must be insane to think I do this." "You must come with me, Sir? I won't leave here without you." "Don't be a jerk. I can run away now if I want. Now be a doll and go and call 911. This man is losing a lot of blood." "He is dead. No need to hurry the
In truth, nothing is hidden under the sun. Even though the police promised their utmost secrecy, the reason for Andrew's arrest soon became trending news, and it was followed by Isabella's escapades. And in a few days, the city of Orange County was soon buzzing with the news of the murderous prince and his nymphomaniac sister.Since Mr Elizabethan has ordered Andrew not to step into the office until all the mess is cleared, he decided to spend his days indoors and avoid all the friends and sympathizers who come to visit his family. Dressed in short pyjamas and an armless shirt, Andrew seat on one of the cushions in his room and gaped like a lost kitten. When the door to his room was knocked from the other side, he jerked awake, stared at the door and mumbled, "Come inside." Jasmine led two officers in a black and white police uniform into Andrew's room. She pointed at some chairs beside Andrew and let out, "Please sit over there." "Thank you, Jasmine-. Hello, Andrew. We were inform
After passing through their long corridors, Andrew emerged at the grassland in front of the Villa. His eyes darted around the large compound and then fell on Isabella. Dressed in a long gown, Isabella sat on a chair, and was operating her laptop computer when Andrew walked closer to her and let out, "Hello, big sister." "Hi, Andrew. I was about to call you. Please sit down." Andrew sat on the chair beside Isabella, then looked into her eyes and asked, "Why did you want to call for me?" "I will be acting as the general manager until you can clear your names." "Oh... Is it all about the post of a general manager?" "What are you talking about?" "My set-up. Did you frame me up so that you can resume your duty as the general manager or did you have any other reasons for this? Or maybe you need someone to take the blame for your reckless lifestyle?" Isabella's smiling face immediately becomes angry when Andrew accuses her of setting him up. She sprang to her feet, raised her arms an
"Where have you been, Jackson?.. What happened to you that made you disappear for a whole week?" "I lost everything, Andrew. I lost the car, the money you gave to me, and Jasmine's money. Everything is gone." "Relax and tell me what happened." "I don't know what happened. I woke up disoriented some days ago, and everything is gone." "What are you talking about, Jackson?" "I think I am still disoriented. All I know is that I woke up from a deep sleep, and found some blood on my hands and some men who claimed they had to take everything for their mouth to be sealed." "Sealed... What did you mean?" "I had subconsciously killed someone, Andrew. I saw the video, and it was real. I slashed his throat with a very sharp dagger and then giggled with contentment, but I can swear that is either I am in a trance, or under the influence of a bad drug." "Where are you?" "Arkansas city. Though I don't know my precise location." "Did you have your passport with you?" "Yes. But I don't have
Cleveland is right. Everything always seemed important to Jasmine. As long as Cleveland could remember, Jasmine had dabbled with things that didn't concern her, and it was a miracle that she was still breathing. Being born into the house of a wealthy family didn't stop the adventurous lady from living a fun-filled life, and her charisma made her one of the most admirable ladies in Orange County. Her popularity is not limited to the elites alone. She was known even among those who dealt in the dark world. The drug peddlers, the assassins, and the political thugs. All of them seemed to have heard of her or connected with her during their nefarious journey in life. After her conversation with Cleveland, Jasmine drove into a street that was filled with stoners with misty eyes. "Welcome to downtown, this is where you will meet the bad and the ugly of Orange County. And the fact that Daly's murder takes place close to here made me believe the murderers will visit here," Jasmine mumbled,
