As Caleb began walking fast towards the hotel, Miss Roberts hurriedly called out to him, her voice filled with urgency, "Mr. King, wait! Stop!"He halted and turned around, his expression impatient. "What is it?" he asked curtly, clearly feeling agitated at the interruption.Miss Roberts hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Where are you going? I thought we were..." Her sentence trailed off as Caleb interrupted her, his tone sharp, "I don't have time to deal with this right now! Go and find help," Caleb snapped, his tone brusque and impatient."Find help? Are you out of your mind?" Miss Roberts retorted, her voice tinged with frustration. "Have you forgotten how those two treated us earlier? If you go barging in right now, they'll definitely think you're being nosy. Let the couple be. Why are you asking for trouble?" She shouted annoyingly.Caleb stood there, stunned by Miss Roberts' words. She was right in a way; he had been treated horribly, especially the hurtful words
"We have to get out of here, now!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with fear.Caleb's breaths came in ragged gasps as he looked at Emily, confusion etched on his face. "What do you mean, let's get out of here? I haven't finished with William. I'm not just going to let him walk free after what he was about to do to you," he exclaimed, his voice tinged with determination.Caleb's fists clenched with pent-up rage as he turned back towards William, and grabbed his collar, ready to deliver another blow, but Emily's gentle touch on his arm stopped him. "Come on, Caleb, we need to leave," Emily urged, her tone tinged with desperation as she cast a nervous glance at the approaching men. Her eyes pleaded with him to depart, silently begging him to heed her plea."Please....."Reluctantly, Caleb released William's collar, his gaze lingering on the groaning figure on the floor. "What's wrong with you?" he demanded, his voice thick with frustration. "Don't you want to make him pay for ever
Emily's mind raced with confusion as she grappled with her conflicting thoughts. How could Caleb be King? The King she knew had showered her with expensive gifts in the broadcasting room, displaying wealth beyond measure. Caleb, on the other hand, lived in a modest apartment across from hers and often struggled to make ends meet. As Emily stood there, her gaze fixed on Caleb observing the brutal scene unfolding before them, a thought crept into her mind like a whisper in the wind. "Could it be...?" Emily murmured softly, her voice barely audible over the chaos of the situation unfolding before her. Her mind raced with conflicting thoughts and emotions."Was it Caleb who helped me with Mr. Chan, not William?" she whispered, her voice tinged with uncertainty and disbelief. Her gaze flickered towards Caleb, who stood tall and composed, his expression unreadable amidst the turmoil surrounding them. In that moment, a seed of doubt planted itself in her mind, challenging everything she
It was almost too easy. The lack of security measures made it a simple task for someone like me."He paused, his eyes flickering with a mixture of remorse and self-satisfaction. "So once I gained access, I simply changed the password and reached out to you. I didn't anticipate you would respond so eagerly to King's messages."Emily stood frozen in disbelief, her mind racing as she tried to process the shocking revelation. Everything Caleb had warned her about, everything he had told her, suddenly rang true. William was not King. The truth hit her like a ton of bricks, shattering the illusion she had clung to for so long. She never expected things to turn out this way, and yet here she was, confronted with the harsh reality of William's deceit.Emily took another hesitant step towards William, her voice trembling as she confronted him with the painful truth."You pretended to be King just so you could get close to me...so you could sleep with me?" she asked, her words filled with hu
"Caleb, I need to know," Emily's tone was firm, her gaze piercing as she addressed him directly. "Did you seek out Mr. Cole's involvement in the matter with Mr. Chan? Did Mr. Cole pressure Mr. Chan into avoiding me?" Her accusatory finger pointed towards Mr. Chan, her suspicion evident in her demeanor."Was it your doing? Did you enlist Mr. Cole's assistance to resolve the entire situation?" Her voice dripped with suspicion as she awaited his response.Uncertainty clouded Caleb's expression as he glanced at Emily, torn between revealing the truth or maintaining his silence. He deliberated his choices meticulously, each option weighed with careful consideration.Emily's gaze remained fixated on Caleb, unwavering as she awaited his response to her question, the weight of the silence pressing down on them like a suffocating blanket.Seeing his continued silence, she closed the distance between them with measured steps, her pulse quickening with each movement, uncertainty gnawing at her
"You're not King and you don't know who King is, then how come you were so sure that William was not King but a fake?" she demanded, her voice cutting through the tension in the room."None of what you said adds up, Caleb. Explain it to me, because right now, nothing you're saying makes any sense."Caleb found himself completely stumped, his mind racing for an explanation that seemed to elude him. He licked his suddenly dry lips, feeling the weight of Emily's gaze bearing down on him."Well, Caleb," she prompted, her tone expectant, "Start explaining."Caleb scratched the back of his head nervously, his mind racing to formulate a response. Emily observed him intently, her eyes fixed on him, waiting for his reply, her patience wearing thin with each passing moment.A sudden idea illuminated Caleb's face, and a smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "Actually, Emily, there's something I've been meaning to tell you for a while now," he began, his voice tinged with excitement.Emily
"Please! I'm sorry!" William's voice cracked with desperation, his hands clasped together in a pleading gesture. Sweat beaded on his forehead, and his eyes darted frantically between Caleb and the phone in Caleb's hand."I'll never look in Emily's direction again, I swear!" His words spilled out in a rush, each syllable tinged with fear and remorse. He took a hesitant step forward, his body trembling with anxiety as he begged for mercy.Ignoring William's pleas, Caleb reached into his pocket to retrieve his mobile, only to realize with a sinking feeling that his battery was dead. He sighed in frustration, casting a brief glance down at William, who was still pleading desperately.Turning his gaze to Mr. Chan, Caleb's expression hardened. "Call the police," he instructed firmly, "And tell them to take this person away." His tone brooked no argument as he handed the responsibility over to Mr. Chan, his resolve unwavering despite the setback with his phone.William's eyes widened wit
In the wee hours of the morning, around two o'clock, the police finally concluded their questioning and the process of writing out statementsAs they walked out the door, the dimly lit police station corridor felt strangely disorienting to Emily. She leaned against the doorframe for support, feeling a wave of dizziness wash over her."Caleb, I..." she began, her words trailing off as she swayed slightly.Caleb immediately noticed her distress and reached out to steady her. "Hey, are you okay?" he asked, concern evident in his voice.Emily nodded weakly, managing a small smile. "Yeah, just... my head is spinning a bit. Must be exhaustion from today's events," she replied, her voice tinged with weariness.As Caleb guided Emily out of the station, he scanned the empty streets, hoping to spot a taxi waiting nearby. However, the absence of any vehicles in sight left him feeling apprehensive. Glancing back at Emily, who appeared visibly exhausted, he realized they might have trouble fin
