[The next day]I was soundly sleeping when all of a sudden, I felt a pull on my legs and the next thing I knew, I was on the floor with my elbows, head and butt hurting. I sat up and searched the bedroom with my eyes for who it was but there was no one. The culprit must have run away right after the crime. Well, now that person has gotten what he wanted. I am awake. I got up and had my bath before coming out of my bedroom. I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned to see who it was. Elvis stood behind me. "What is it?" I asked Elvis.Elvis made himself stand right beside me before he finally replied to me in a whisper, "how was your fall?" and rushed down the stairs. So it was him who... Damn that guy! I will make sure I pay him back. How could he just wake up and choose violence? I thought that the first thing would be breakfast but I guess I was wrong. When I reached the dining room, it was empty. Nobody and no food. I heard some noises that sounded like huffing and I decided to
Angry, Elvis threw his food at Kevin to retaliate. Elvis got the food to hit directly on Kevin's face and he sat down again. We were grown-ups. There was no need for us to suddenly get in some kind of food fight but I was sure that Kevin's audacity would never be forgotten by Elvis, the hot-headed one among us. We had some rest after eating before going to our working place. As the ones in charge of everything and everybody, we didn't need to put much effort into work and most times we would only need to monitor or examine how things are going in our head company. We arrived at the company, in our car. The gates were opened wide for us and we parked inside. The moment we stepped out of our car, the workers who were outside beginning to greet us. It was different when we got in either. People's attention was on us throughout. Four ladies approached and followed us with note pads in their hands to note down everything each of us tell them to. [Later, in the evening] "It's ti
[Clarissa's mansion]Clarissa has known no peace ever since the day that Zane Murray moved in with her. What could she do? It was her who made that condition back when she was looking for a way to get Trevor out of her mansion. Clarissa was a woman terrible at decision-making. "What am I supposed to do now? I am fed up with Zane always watching and controlling my movements. We are not even married or anything." Clarissa complained. She was pacing from one end of her room to the other continuously. Clarissa was about to shout for her butler to come but then she remembered she had fired him. Yes, Clarissa found out that he was the one Zane had been using to get information about everything that she did. "Damn it!" Clarissa said and slapped her palm on her forehead. "No one can ever be trusted," Clarissa added. This was almost her daily routine in her mansion. Just standing in her room and regretting her life. Zane had taken over Clarissa's business in anger because he had been uns
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
