“Why are you scared? Come on, have a seat,” the young man offered while he exhaled the smoke in his mouth. “ By the way, I'm Gregory by name,” he added.Sharon didn't respond, rather, she remained dumbfounded and focused. She was conscious of what might happen hereafter.“I don't know you, and I believe that you don't know me either. So, how come you're aware of my debt, and you are willing to offer help without being asked?” she curiously asked without moving an inch from where she stood since she entered the enormous lounge.“That's not how to exchange pleasantries when you enter someone's house, especially someone who wants to help you. I thought you had manners,” said Gregory as he stood up and gestured towards Sharon after dropping the cigarette into a small iron container set on a table before him.“Wait,” Sharon sharply said,“ I can't remember telling you anything about me. How do you know whether I have manners or not?” “Keep in
Now, Antonio took Kate to clubbing. However, he had planned to surprise her at the clubAt the club, there were dim Burundi lights and white foggy smoke which set the ambiance of the lively club as the people danced to the rhythm of the music.The club has a stench of s*x and alcohol soaring in the air.Numerous ladies could be seen twirling their bodies around men.As soon as Kate stepped foot into the club, she was unsettled to the point that Antonio noticed it.“Hey, what's wrong?” Antonio curiously asked, as he raised her jaw, so she could look him in the face.“N-nothing,” she lied with a cracking voice as she fought hard to display a fake smile on her face.“Come on, you can't hide it from me, Kate.” he said,“ It's clearly written on your face that you are scared or something.”Kate couldn't say a word, rather, she stared at him right into the eyes, showing her nervousness.“But why? This is not your first time attending a club. Is it?” he scoffed at her with a whisper, and she
“What's wrong?” Kate curiously inquired after noticing how Antonio's face changed.She tried to reach out to his phone but he quickly took it away and put it in his pocket.“Ohh, nothing.” he lied. Kate stared at him right into the eyes. Even though he plastered a fake smile on his face, Kate could also tell that something was wrong and Antonio was hiding it from her.However, she wished not to pressurize him before he speaks out.Kate sighed and chuckled before she rolled her eyes.“Babe, I guess I should take you home now,” Antonio announced.“I would be glad if you do that.” Antonio smiled at her and then pecked her cheeks before he turned around and gestured towards Gregory who ladies flanked around him.Antonio stood before Gregory with his hands akimbo and looking depressed as though he lost a loved one.“Hey, man, what's wrong?” Gregory inquired as he pushed the ladies away to pay attention to Antonio. “ Do you have any more requests apart from…” “No,” Antonio sharply cut int
It has been two days since Gregory told Sharon to marry him if she wants him to help her, but she declined and left.However, she pleaded with the Celestial Finance company to give her three working days as she was still pondering how to settle the issue at hand and they agreed. She told them that she and the person who wanted to buy the company were still discussing something important, but she didn't disclose it to them. Sharon didn't just stop there, rather she went ahead to borrow from her colleagues who were also into the same business as her but she couldn't get a dime from any of them. It was as if it was planned work not to help her out of this heavy debt.For this reason, Sharon locked herself inside her room since she worked up that morning. She lay helplessly on her bed as she pondered a lot of things. Paying the debt wasn't her only problem, but she was also worried about Aidan.Just as she was thinking a
“What?”! Sharon and her Mom chorused in astonishment. “How is that possible? Uh?” Mrs. Lucinda yelled at the young man standing before them.“Mom, no need to ask such a question. Let's rush and check on Dad before something worse happens,” said Sharon, and quickly grabbed her mom's hand and led her downstairs.Just as they stepped foot in the lounge, Mr. Charles was seen helplessly lying on the dining table as the guards' leader tried to lift him.Upon seeing this, Mrs. Lucinda's body was cold and lifeless as she ran up to her husband, who was still coughing out particles of blood on the dining table.“Honey…!” she screamed to the top of her voice with shaky hands.“Dad…!” Sharon also screamed in agony. “ What happened to him?”“I have no idea, Madam,” one of the maids who always served them food anytime they wanted to have a meal.“Stop asking questions and rush him to the hospital!” Mrs. Lucinda ordered.With haste, two guards lifted Mr. Charles from the dining chair and took him o
Within minutes, Sharon, and her guards arrived home after leaving the hospital to investigate who poisoned her dad.“Gather all the servants in the living room. I need to ask them a few things. Do that as swiftly as you can!” Sharon commanded the guards' leader.“At your command, Madam,” the guards' leader responded and quickly turned around and left.Sharon went into the house and sat on one of the sofas with a cruel face, as she was ready to jail anyone who had a hand in her father's death.She knew they were no longer safe since they had a killer in the house.No one can tell who is next to be murdered. Maybe the person was there for a mission and no one knows who is next in the killer list.Thereafter, all the house servants were called upon. They all assembled before Sharon, whose eyes were swollen because of how much she mourned for her dead father at the hospital.Not only that, her eyes were reddish as one could
At Sharon's company…In the conference room, three of the celestial finance company staff could be seen sitting closer to each other, while Sharon sat in her seat as the CEO of the company they were about to sell to someone else.On the other side, was Gregory, who sat and crossed his legs with pride. He thought Sharon was going to come back to him and accept to marry him, so he could help her, but she didn't, and he was disappointed.Although her father's dead body was in the mortuary, there was nothing she could do; rather than attend to creditors even though she didn't want to.Before they could proceed with selling the company, Gregory demanded an excuse from the Celestial finance company, so he could speak with Sharon.Gregory stood up and held Sharon by the hand like a baby and took her outside the conference room.“And why did you bring me outside, huh? Isn't it your wish that you buy the company?” Sharon sneered and quickly took her hand away from his grip.Gregory sighed and
A year after… It was a busy and tough year for Mrs. Lucinda, Kate, and Mrs. Frederick's families. Mrs. Lucinda worked hard to find out who was the cause of her husband's death, but all her hard work was in vain. She couldn't get the truth about the whole thing, and she gave up.Nonetheless, when Mrs. Frederick was informed about Mr. Charles's death, she and her beloved grieved with Mrs. Lucinda and her household.Throughout the year, Sharon was working to lift her business, but it wasn't working out; rather, the business was going down the more.Even at that, she never gave up, hoping that everything will be fine someday.“Mom, Mrs. Frederick informed me that Aidan would be released today. So, I'm heading to her place, so I can go to the cell together with them.” Sharon announced to her Mom.“At last,” Mrs. Lucinda sighed. “ Well, I'm glad that he will be released today. I'm fully convinced that the boy is innocent. Anyway, it's a good thing that he will be out now.”Sharon nodded a
