Juan was dumbfounded. The intrigue that the news of her actions had erupted suddenly washed down, he rose to his feet angrily."What do you mean that it was Wynn?"Leah still could not meet his eyes, she rested her chin on her shoulder, avoiding his gaze, avoiding his questions, avoiding anything that woukd cause his anger to worsen."You had people rape Wynn?" He asked loudly which attracted the eyes of some people in the cafe."It's nkt what you think"."That's bullshit, did you or did you not do it?" He asked."I did, but…""But nothing!" He yelled, "you have such a cruel heart, you employed people to rsoe her, why?"Leah coudknt take his yelling anymore, she angrily turned her face to him, matching his eyes as she stood to her feet."It was because of yoh, you had been the one who caused all this. Yoh told me you only had sex wuth me because i was the closest thing yo Wynn thst yoh could find. What the hell does that even mean? Its all your fault. You caused this to happen!"Juan
"Wh..what?" Kraig blinked twice he shook his head as he stared at the woman again. She didn't look to be much older than he was. If anything, she woukd have just a couple of years on him.She smiled at him before moving to the empty chair beside the one jade occuoied, "can we start this meeting now?" She asked as she took a seat even though she wasn't offered one.Jade saw how fixated Kraig was on her, and although she woukd orefer not to leave yet because she really wanted to understand how he fekt about the issue with Wynn, she had to leave. This wasnt her scene and from the look of pure interesf in Kraig's eyes, she fekt that this meeting was going yo turn out to be something else.She cleared her throat, "I think I'll be leaving now". She rose yo her feet. "Please don't leave on my account," Tabitha said with a hand on her chest and innocence in her eyes.Jade shook her head with a smile, "your meeting is about yo start, I cannot impose".Tabitha shook her head, "it doesn't matt
Jade immediately choked on her saliva. She coughed repeatedly, hitting her chest."I didn't mean to surprise you this way". Tabitha said, "you must've suspected that, didn't you?"Jade finally stopped coughing and cleared her throat, she brought her fingers to her eyes to dry the tears that appeared, "yes, I thought so. But I didn't expect you to just come at me like that".Tabitha didn't seem to concern herself wuth hoe Jade was feeling, "you know about me and i know about you, so what's the need to pretend we don't know each other?"Jade shook her head. Tabitha had just been mentioned, there had been no defintie conversation about her and so, to say that she knew anything about Tabitha was wrong. She wanted to clear the air but she coukd read the air and she knew tht Tabitha didnt seem to be quite pleased with her."How do you two know each other?"Tabitha tucked an invisible strand of hair behind her ear, "it diesnt hsve anything tk do with you. All you need to know is that the tw
Kraig drove back in. The maidservants were already used to the irregularity of his arrival. Sometimes he goes to work in the morning and comes back late at night, other times he goes in the afternoon and comes back before the sun sets and there are akso days like this when he leaves in the morning and comes back before five in the evening.And so they always made sure thst whatever they prepared waiting for his arrival was already set hours ago.Like today, before leaving the office, he had instructed them to prepare some snacks and coffee in wait for the detective that would be joining him. The maids were wise enough to prepare those things the second the cakk dropped.Kraig walked in to the kitchen hoping to find all that he requested for already set and waiting for him. Well, not only did he find what he was looking for, he akso found jade, pouring a bottle of wine into a glass.Their eyes met when he entered the kitchen."I thought you'd still be out wth Tabitha".Jade scoffed the
Kraig instantly pulled away from Jade, making sure that the distance between them was more than five feet. He smoothened his clothes, looking everywhere but her face."Detective?" Be said as he walked to take his hand in an handshake.Jade cleared her throat, downing the rest liquid in her glass hoping that it would suppress her sudden raging heart.Fabio smiled, he took Kraig's hands with a smile. He made sure to scrutinize his expression and as a detective, he detected the pigmentation in his eyes and how he kept sniffling.He understood what hsd just happened. But in his head, he bad a question.Why was he making it weird?"I brought with me my work, I hope I'm not intruding?" He asked as he flashed the bag he was holding with contained the files he could acquire about those men.Kraig nodded his head, "let's take this to the living room". Kraig said as he gestured to the exit of the kitchen.Meanwhile Jade still remained there. The alcohol couldn't suppress her heart, the moist on
Kraig took in a deep breath. He forced a smile out to Jade and gave her a shaking nod."I'm not moping; I'm fine."He had no idea that Jade was such a caring person. These mundane things made him realize that somehow, somewhere, he had developed an idea of her. He thought she was so detached from emotions, from caring for other people, but only now has he been proven wrong.He smiled again.Jade nodded her head; she felt better having told them the truth. She didn't understand why it had felt really weird to just tell him that she had been concerned about him. But now that she could say it to him without overthinking it, she felt utterly relieved."So what do you need me for?" Jade asked, trying to get the attention away from her. The awkward air needed to be cleared out, and as he reached for the table to get some of the papers spread out, she made sure to avoid Kraig's eyes."We have this person who we think should have more on him than what we already know," Fabio passed her a pict
The whole homicide department could hear the hurried footsteps of Christian as he ran toward his partner. With a laptop in hand, his steps were smooth, as if practiced. After navigating through many desks and chairs for ages, he had become quite adept, so it wasn't much of a big deal.All he needed to do was make his way over to Daniel as soon as possible.The partner he was hurrying to meet was sitting still in his chair, scrolling through social media as he searched for a particular person.There were many pictures of him, but there were no personal accounts. He didn't realize that Kraig had so many fans taking pictures of him until today. He wanted to laugh.Then suddenly, somebody stopped in front of him, panting heavily, showing the proof that he had run his way there.Daniel didn't lift his head; he just casually continued to scroll through his social media."Why were you running?""I have something to show you," Christian said amidst heavy breaths. He held his chest and bent do
Carolene was set to get ready for the night. She had her skincare products applied to her face and a silk pink nightwear. She had left her door open, thinking, wishing that Jade would decide to come visit while she was asleep like she had done the previous time.Carolene hopped off the bed, turning the lamp beside her off, bathing the room in an unknown darkness.Then suddenly knocks came from her door.Carolene frowned. It definitely wasn't the person she was expecting because these days, Jade had taken it upon herself the liberty to stroll in and out of the room as if it belonged to her. It wasn't as if Carolene would say something about it. It actually pleased her.So, for this person to be knocking, it wasn't Jade, and that meant she didn't want the person anywhere around her. She didn't want the person in her room, disturbing her sleep.She walked to the bed, already feeling irritated with every step she took. As she reached the door, she opened it.Margot stood on the other side
