I smirked, knowing that from here on out, my true journey begins. I left their company and went ahead to find my car and take my place in the back seat. My driver was about to start the car but I stopped him. "Only drive and park at a little distance from the company," I instructed him. I had hired maids and drivers just today and it was good that at least I knew the driver was good enough. The car's windows could only be seen as black from the outside but I was able to see everything very clearly from the inside. No one would ever know it was me in here. It was approaching evening and close to the closing time of Zane's company. I only had to wait for Clarissa now and it didn't take long before I saw her exiting the fence around the company building. Before Clarissa, came out of the car, I was sure that Zane was the one behind the wheels. This must have been the way he chose to punish Clarissa. By leaving her to walk home. Once Zane was gone, I came out of my car and walked to
"Are you crazy?! That is too risky. What if the real Trevor gets found?" Dean said to Loki. "If he is indeed alive, he will not be found," Loki told Dean. "Oh yeah? And how are you so sure about that?" Dean asked Loki. Loki laughed at Dean's question, "come on Dean. Don't tell me you ain't smart enough to understand where I am pointing out." Loki said to Dean. "There are a lot of problems around me that are stressing me out. I can't kill myself just for this one." Dean replied to Loki. "Fine then. I will explain it to you." Loki said to Dean. "If we fake him being dead and take a dead body to show our uncle, he will believe it for sure. And because he believes it, there is no need to search for anyone. If there's no need to search for anyone..." Loki paused and looked at Dean expectantly. "Then no one will be found." Dean completed. "Loki you are a genius!" Dean exclaimed. "But then who would be the fake dead body?" Dean questioned, thoughtfully. "Oh if only it could be that
Zane waited in his room for Clarissa to enter and as soon as she did, he shut the door behind her as he had been standing behind the same door. Clarissa shrieked. The sudden bang of the door startled her. "Zane!" she exclaimed by mistake and then put her hands over her lips. Zane slowly walked towards his bed and then back to where Clarissa stood. He removed her hands from her lips and let go of her. "Do you know why you are here?" Zane asked Clarissa. "No sir," Clarissa replied. "Oh, of course, you do not know. I haven't said it." Zane said to Clarissa and with a smile on his face, he went to his bed and sat on it. "You are here because now, you are going to be my key to success," Zane added. "I don't understand sir," Clarissa said to Zane. "I think that Mr Walker must have picked up some kind of interest in you," Zane told Clarissa. "I don't know about that sir, but I am certainly not into him," Clarissa replied to Zane. Zane's smile vanished and turned into a sour frown.
Clarissa turned away and entered her room again. She got changed into the dress that Zane got her and returned downstairs"That's more like it," Zane said and took Clarissa's hand in his as they exited the mansion. Zane and Clarissa arrived at work and all eyes were on Clarissa. The men stared at her with lust in their hearts and the ladies stared at her with envy but mostly hate and disgust."I can't believe she wore that to work." someone said as Clarissa was passing by. "Just look at her. I am sure she is doing it to get a promotion from the boss." another said, forgetting that the company was once Clarissa's. However, you can't blame them for having such audacity as they did. The moment that Zane took over Clarissa's company, he took control of her entire life and did not spare the chance to push out Clarissa's acting career.Clarissa lowered her gaze until she was in her section of work and Zane went to his office. It didn't take long before nine o'clock reached and it was tim
Clarissa Sat down again and I gave her the jacket to place on her own. "Thank you. Sorry about that. I've just got a lot running through my mind lately." Clarissa said to me. "And you can feel free to talk to me about all of that," I said to Clarissa. "I think it's best we just talk about business sir. That is what I came here for. I am sorry but I cannot allow any distractions and I have to ask you why you didn't come for the meeting." Clarissa replied. [The Vandelson mansion]Dean and Loki dragged the body down the stairs and to the living room after getting all the employees to leave the mansion. Mr Cooper stepped out into the living room with a smile on his face. This was the day he has always been waiting for. "It's time boys." Mr Cooper said and began leaving but stopped right at the door. He just recalled something. This a very important detail. "Loki. Dean. Where is the pendant? I hope one of you has it." Mr Cooper said. "Well?" Mr Cooper said and turned away from the
"How did the meeting go?" Zane asked Clarissa, who was just returning from Mr Walker's mansion and back to Zane's office. "It went well," Clarissa answered. "He agreed to set the meeting on a different date," Clarissa added. "Which is?" Zane asked Clarissa, eagerly waiting to hear her answer. "Next month," Clarissa said. "What the hell?! That's too far! Did you even try to negotiate with him?!" Zane complained to Clarissa. "Yes sir but he said if I want he could make it happen in two weeks but only if I go out with him," Clarissa explained and Zane only got infuriated. "Idiot! And you thought that a month would be better than two weeks of dating?!" Zane yelled at Clarissa. "This is business. I don't think my personal life should be gambled with. You've done enough of that so far." Clarissa said and received a slap across the face from Zane. "You are right about one thing, it's just business. That is the exact reason why we must do anything to be at the top. Call him up and say
"Not now. Wait till it gets dark and then you can attack us." I replied. "And make sure you do not forget to slash the tyres first," I instructed and ended the call. Surely, nothing will ruin this for me. I returned to Clarissa and Sat with her to have dinner. It was seven-thirty by the time the food was ready and we chatted as we ate. I got to know a lot about her because, surprisingly, she opened up to me. However, she wouldn't tell me anything about Zane. We were done by eight-thirty and Clarissa never knew how much time had passed. Just as Clarissa was about to speak, there was a loud gunshot and Clarissa began to panic. "What was that?!" Clarissa exclaimed. "I don't know. I will go out and check." I told her and proceeded to the front.Another gunshot sounded and Clarissa rushed at me and held on close and tight to my arm. "Don't leave me alone here," Clarissa begged me. "I won't," I assured her and slowly, we went out of the glass building together. When we were finally a
With me leading the way, we soon found a clear place to sleep. Clarissa Sat down and I gathered thick and wide leaves to spread on the floor separately for the both of us to sleep on. Without a word to me, Clarissa lay down and I too didn't speak but then straight to sleep. [The next day]I woke up to see that Clarissa was gone and I jumped to my feet. Where the hell did she go to while I was asleep?! "Clarissa!" I called out her name but no answer came even after I kept shouting. I searched everywhere and only found her when I returned to the same spot we were sleeping at. "Where did you go? I've been looking for you." I asked Clarissa but she didn't answer me. "Ugh!" I face-palmed myself and felt my stomach growl. "At least now I know I'm not the only one hungry. So, what's your idea to save us from this situation? A bigger forest?" Clarissa retorted. "So you went in search of food and failed," I replied to Clarissa and she scoffed. "Let's see you do better," Clarissa said to
