"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
[Clarissa's mansion] Zane paced left and right in his room, wondering where it was that he went wrong. "Clarissa still hasn't returned since I sent her out with Mr Walker. And even Mr Walker seemed to have vanished as well. What is happening?" Zane wondered and then left his room. "Since Clarissa is failing to pick up her phone, I will go to Mr Walker's mansion and ask his brothers about it," Zane said as he entered his car and sat behind the steering wheel. The gates were opened for him and he exited, heading straight for me Walker's mansion. After Zane made it there he parked outside the gate and went out of his car to ring the bell. A security guard opened the gate and looked him over, "how may I help you sir?" the security guard asked Zane. "I came here to meet Mr Walker's brothers," Zane said. "Did you make an appointment with them?" the security guard asked Zane. Zane looked at the security guard in confusion, "no?" Zane answered. "Why would I need an appointment to spe
Clarissa arrived at the given address and stepped out of her car. She examined the appearance of the building with her gaze and went ahead to knock on the front door. The door was opened by the same doctor she was looking for and on recognizing Clarissa himself, the doctor made to shut the door as quickly as possible but Clarissa shoved him back. "So you did the entire thing on purpose?" Clarissa asked the doctor. The doctor parted his lips but no words came out. "Forget it. I have no time for this argument. Where is the result of the DNA test?" Clarissa asked the doctor. "I don't have it with me. I left it in the hospital." the doctor replied. "You son of a... " Clarissa's voice trailed off. "Get into my car right now!" Clarissa ordered. "I need those results right now!" she yelled. "There is no need for me to come with you. Do you want the result? I make a call to get it to you." the doctor replied. "Make it quick," Clarissa said to the doctor, right after she gave him a sh
[The next morning]Clarissa woke up in my bed while I was still asleep. She left my room and went into hers. After taking her bath and getting ready, she dressed up and left the mansion. The only thing that Clarissa had on her mind was the DNA test and she couldn't wait to get it and show it to the twins for them to do the comparison. Clarissa arrived at the hospital and headed straight for the doctor's office. She tried opening the door but it was locked. A nurse was passing by at that moment and Clarissa stopped the nurse to make inquiries. "Good morning ma'am." the nurse greeted. Clarissa ignored the greeting from the nurse and went straight to the point, "where is the doctor that usually stays in this office?" Clarissa asked the nurse. "Today is his day off so he's not going to come here for work until the next day." the nurse answered Clarissa. "Do you know where he lives?" Clarissa asked the nurse. "I am sorry ma'am but this hospital follows strict rules. Such which inclu
"Oh, it makes a whole lot of difference because I do not want that to happen," Clarissa replied to Dean. "Hm. Hand what are you planning to do about it? Stop us? How exactly do you want to start that out?" Dean mocked Clarissa. "I can give you what you long for the most," Clarissa said to Dean."And what is that?" Loki asked Clarissa. "You may not know it but we are getting a good reward from Zane, that is after we succeed in what we were sent to do. Nothing you say could be any better." Loki added. "And I am sure that what Zane offered was not money. It's something else which I am yet to find out." Clarissa replied Loki. "You better keep your nose out of our business Clarissa. You know very well what we are capable of." Dean warned Clarissa. "Uuu, I'm so scared. Someone come and help me." Clarissa said to Dean in a mocking tone of voice. "I didn't come here to discuss what Zane offered the both of you but what I can give you two," Clarissa said. "Just go straight to the point
I waited for Clarissa's response would be and my heart kept pounding fast each second I waited. I just confessed to Clarissa that I loved her. The same woman that made my life miserable in the past was the same one I fell in love with and I still can't comprehend how it happened. "I don't mind if you say no but please don't keep me waiting this long," I begged Clarissa. "Walker... I... I love you too." Clarissa said to me with tears in her eyes.I felt like a heavy burden just left my chest the moment I heard her voice. She loves me too. I couldn't contain myself anymore and I embraced her, lifting her and spinning around with her. Clarissa was shouting for me to stop while she laughed at the same time. I stopped and put her down. "You don't know how happy you have just made me," I said to Clarissa. "Thank you, Clarissa. And I'm sorry for fooling you the way I did before." I said to Clarissa. "It's all in the past now Mr Walker. I forgave you long back." Clarissa replied to me a
I returned from the restaurant with Clarissa. She was so happy throughout even until we reached home. I couldn't believe this was the same person I was who had hated her in the past. Why was I fast falling for her? "Um... Walker? Why aren't you coming in?" I heard Clarissa ask me. Her voice brought me back into reality and made me realize I had gotten lost in thought and had stopped at the door. "Oh! Sorry about that. I kind of zoned out there." I told Clarissa and walked into the mansion. "Hey," I said. "Yes?" Clarissa answered while turning to face me. I thought about it again and again. Maybe I should tell Clarissa about my feelings for her. But what if she tries to take advantage of me through it? What if she doesn't feel the same way at all?The last thing I would want right now is a one-sided relationship..."Sir?" Clarissa said. "Hm? Nothing. Never mind that. Just go to your room." I said to Clarissa. Clarissa turned to leave but quickly turned back to me. "Sir... Um...
I caught the fist and kicked the strange person's second hand when I felt it coming at me. The stranger shouted in pain and I dragged him out of the darkness only to find that it was Zane. "What the...! I thought I told you to stay away from me and my wife?! So you do not know what a restriction order is?!" I shouted. "Come out with my wife!" I shouted to the men I knew were still in the darkness. Two men stepped out, holding Clarissa and one of them had her mouth covered. "Run now that you have the chance to do so," I told those two men. The two men looked at Zane and then at each other. After a second or two, they took to their heels. I punched Zane square in the face and he fell to the ground. He sat up with a bleeding nose and blood leaving the corners of his lips. Zane looked at me angrily but he did and said nothing. After Zane was finally gone, Clarissa jumped into my arms. "Thank you so much!" Clarissa said to me as she cried on my chest. I patted her on the back. "Ever
What the hell?! Dean?! Why would he so openly send men to search this mansion? And judging by the time the phone call had happened, Dean called right after I left his mansion. I looked through the rest and it wasn't difficult to discover that they were not able to find what they were looking for. But what was it that they were searching for? Dean is on to me for something but I'm not sure. Is he after me as me Walker or... Is he after me as Trevor Vandelson? I knew I had to be careful in whatever step I take from now henceforth. [Eight o'clock, the next day]I looked at myself one last time in the mirror after making sure that my tie was made properly and neat. I left my room and was about to leave when I suddenly remembered something. What better than to take my wife with me? It's a party after all. I went into the laundry room where I knew she would be by now and she greeted me the moment she saw me. The punishment I gave her by making her my maid and cleaner humbled her after
"Of course, we are friends me, Dean. That's why I'm going to cancel the meeting and attend your party." I said to Dean. "Wonderful. I'll be expecting the best out of you. It's not a party for the poor after all." Dean told me. I clenched my fists in anger, remembering how I was treated in my past life. No matter how my anger was, I never let it show on my face. I relaxed my hands and smiled, "I'm not a poor man so, you should indeed expect the best." I replied Dean. We shook hands and I left his mansion and entered my car. "Where to Sir?" my driver asked me. "My home," I answered. While the driver was driving, I couldn't help but let my mind trail off. What was all that for? This was supposed to be strictly business. I know I planned to be close to Dean and Loki Vandelson but they're offering my friendship on their own is suspicious to me. Do they suspect something? But how would they? I only married Clarissa and for some time, I never made any contact with them so why this tac
I continued with the workload I had in my office and my phone rang. Probably, my brothers are calling to check up on me. I checked for the caller and instead of the name of one of my brothers being on it, it was a call from an unknown number. I answered the call and I recognized the voice speaking. "Good day me Walker. This is Loki Vandelson speaking." Loki said to me. "Happy to be hearing from you Mr Loki," I replied. "I called because of your partnership offer. Says in the documents that you would like a merge between our companies." Loki told me. "Yes. I made sure to do some research on your and your brother's companies. compared to others, yours are the best for the merger." I replied. "So what do you think about it?" I asked Loki. "I think it's best we meet in person and discuss it." Loki offered. "No problem. When do you want the meeting?" I asked Loki. "Let's say... By eight o'clock. Today of course." Loki answered. "Alright. I think my schedule is cleared by then. See
