Marcus and his team left, going on to their car.“Whoever this woman was, you cracked her code,” Marcus told Luciana and she smiled proudly. “I am good at what I do,” she whispered, getting into the car and shutting the door.“So, where are we headed now?” Camelia asked with curiosity chopping off at her.“Luciana and I would go on to Leesburg while you and Sam go back. But before that, I would like to pay a visit to Uncle Richard to tell him the state of things so far and all that we have discovered.“Why boss? I would have loved to come with you. Are you sure you aren't gonna need me?” Sam asked, his burrows soaked with sweat.Marcus smiled. He was glad that his security guard understood his job and always made himself available.“This is a fight that I and Luciana alone need to fight. Just stay back at the company. Let us not forget that Uncle Richard was locked up hence no one is looking after things for me.”Sam nodded. This was an order he could not disobey, he would have pushe
The journey to Leesburg was about an hour and it was majorly silence infested because the trio said nothing to each other.Once they got to the town and saw the signpost that read:Welcome to Leesburg; your home of affluence,Camelia sat up and began to look out.“How are we going to find them now that we are here?” she asked, looking out of the car window.Sam and Marcus exchanged glances. “I am not sure. At least, we have a name ; Diego,” Marcus muttered.“There cannot possibly be only one Diego in the whole of Leesburg,” Camelia insisted, still looking out of the window.“I'd say that we keep a hopeful mind and hope to get this sorted out.”Camelia nodded. Marcus was right. The only thing that they could do was to continue hoping that it goes well.They arrived at a pub and Sam parked the car.“Why are we stopping here?” Marcus asked, staring at Sam.“In my opinion, pubs always know secrets and basically know everyone in a town. This would be the best place to start our search fro
Camelia's gaze did not disappear from him and she was not going to give up.Marcus admired how tricky she was with getting out information and sHe was impressed as well.The two ladies, Luciana and Camelia were extremely instrumental and he was grateful that he had two of them in his team of investigators. He wondered what he would have done without them.The pub man was now packing up the bottles they had emptied.“Would you like more bottles of beer and another Smirnoff?”Camelia shook her head.“I have had enough. I just need to go and see my dear friend, Linda Shein. Again, I just dialled her number but it says, "switched off.”The pub man looked at her with a gaze that showed he was not buying her tales.“Can I take a look at the number that you dialled?” He asked with an intent gaze at her.Marcus and Sam slightly panicked for her sake, hoping that she had things under control still.“Of course!” Camelia replied and pulled out the number to show him.The pubman took a close loo
The date with Magnus was not as she had hoped it would be. Once again, she was convinced that her life and this man's life were averse.He bragged amateurly, telling her how he was better than most of the billionaires in the city, including her ex husband Marcus.As a matter of fact, Hannah noted Magnus’ obsession with Marcus and how he was seemingly throwing jabs at him, every now and then.Hannah was feeling weary and strained by his unsolicited explanations about his non-existent company and his ostentatious life.“You know I can give you the life Marcus cannot give to you in a thousand years. You know I can make you the Queen of our state and environs and whenever your name is mentioned, men and women alike will tremble.”His words were dry and filled with arrogance. All it did was aggravate Hannah and she began to show her uneasiness.“Are you unhappy to be here with me?” Marcus asked with a smirk. “You haven't said more than three words to me. Your mother promised me that you we
“Please, do not mind that I am here. Try to get comfortable and sleep on the bed. I could stay on the couch. It is almost time anyway.”She nodded with a gasping “okay” try so hard to shield the fact that she probably wanted him on the bed with her.There was a sultry tension engulfing them and neither of them could barely breathe in their corners.“Would you like to have a shower?” Marcus asked, sitting up on the couch.“I would love to but I am just bothered by the fact that I do not have a change of clothes.”Her voice was gentle and almost like a gasp.Marcus smiled proudly. He was somewhat intoxicated by her edginess and loved the fact that she was this tense. For a while, he was beginning to see her differently.No longer just the girl he helped but a woman who his heart thumps for; her laughter, her eyes, her body figure got him enthralled and he had his mind racing whenever her hands touched his or her body held him in a hug.She did it carefree and nonchalantly but it sent sh
Camelia shifted her gaze from his eyes and rested it on his lips. She was enthralled by the sensual curve of it and she knew in her heart that the moment his lips took hers and they were locked, she would never be willing to let go of him and it would go farther.Before she was done nodding, Marcus pressed his lips against hers. His breathing was warm and hers too. Their hearts panting faster and faster and they poured each other's emotions into each other's souls, sharing a moment that was indelible.Their tongues locked and Marcus held her closer, her petite body pressing against his in an enticing manner.“I want more, Camelia…I have wanted more for so long but I was trying to be a gentleman,” he muttered through his locked lips, biting gently at her lower lips.Camelia put her arms around his neck, a gesture that showed that she was ready to have him.Marcus lifted her off the floor and took her into the bathroom. It was a big bathroom and he knew it was going to be memorable.He
The morning after was brighter than they had hoped it would be before they embarked on their journey.They both slept so deeply in each other's arms, reminiscing in their dreams about the lovely action that had happened between them. It felt as though they were having a new life altogether, not the same old grumpy life she had and the life of unlawful accusations that he was going through.In that time, their problems seemed far away from them, shut down by the peace that encircled them.Neither of them remembered that they had to leave as early as four that morning to meet up with the one and only Ferry that would take them across to the East of Leesburg.The first person that woke up to the light of day was Marcus. Camelia's hair brushed against his face and his eyes fell open as he inhaled the freshness of it.It smelt of lavender flowers and they were his favourites. The early rays of sunlight cast its golden glory on her face and he could not help but desire to hold her close fo
Marcus nodded.“I gotta go and get ready right away just Incase Sam calls. He . mentioned that the car has a minor fault but he is on top of the situation.”Camelia nodded and Marcus turned to go to the bathroom for a quick shower. He stopped by the doorway and gave Camelis an enticing look, causing her to smile with a blush.“You look stunning in that dress, by the way.”Camelia thanked him with a subtle nod of her head and shifted her gaze from his to her phone that was in her hand. She could not afford to let the praises get her all needy for him again.After what seemed like the fastest forty five minutes of their lives, Sam rang up his boss to let him know that they were finally ready to take off.Marcus and Camelia packed up all that was theirs in the exquisite hotel room that held a memory of them and they left, walking hand in hand.Camelia wanted to untangled from his grip She did not want to force him to expose them if he was not willing to do that.She tried to gently pull
