Lana looked like a Greek goddess dressed in a white gown with good embroideries decorating it. Her short black hair and hazel eyes shone under the chandeliers that lit the hall. In her hand was a glass of champagne and on her face was a flirty smile as she scanned Rylan. He didn’t look bad either. He was looking gorgeous in that vanilla suit and it made her want to lick it off him. He was stunning as she expected. There was something about his amber eyes that pulled her closer to him constantly. She wasn’t sure what it was, but it was irresistible. “Rylan Daystar,” she said in a flirtatious voice.Rylan smiled and took a sip of his champagne glass. He never knew that Lana would look so stunning. “My, my. You look outstanding, Mrs. Pierce,” Rylan complimented. Lana scoffed. “You don’t look bad either,” she confessed. “I’m flattered.”Lana chuckled. “I presume you haven’t forgotten the reason for your attendance, sir?” Williams' voice sounded from the comms. “Shut up, Williams,”
“Is the antidote ready, Williams?” Rylan asked. “Yes sir. Waiting for your arrival.”“Good.”Rylan gripped the steering wheel tight as he sped through the city. He was in a rush. On the passenger seat was an unconscious Lana. She was strapped to the seat by his seatbelt. Rylan knew that if he was caught with her in his car, he would be jailed immediately. It would be a total misunderstanding, a misunderstanding that could cost Lana her life. Rylan felt guilt creeping in on him as he looked at Lana one more time. He should have listened to her from the start. But it seemed they weren’t after him. It was a shock to realize that she had been poisoned instead, but why? And how? He had been standing beside her the whole time that he could have spotted when Seth would have spiked her drink. But instead, he had walked off. The time between her getting poisoned and Seth leaving them was suspicious. Rylan could remember his last words very well. He had welcomed them to enjoy the show. Rylan
As she stepped out of her hot tub, Detective Reynolds knew that it was going to be hard to get some sleep in this city. She didn't need to see the caller’s ID to know that it was Stanley who called her. She wrapped her naked body with a towel and reached for her phone which was situated in the sink.“Detective Reynolds,” he greeted.“What is the situation now, Detective?” she asked sss she looked at herself in the mirror.“It seems there has been some commotion at one of the city’s halls.’Jain sighed and looked back at the hot tub. She knew her fun time was over and she would have to get back to work.“I’m on my way.”***Jain stepped out of her Acura and headed into the hall. It was filled with a small crowd who Jain could distinguish properly because of their expensive clothing. In the hall were police officers who seemed to be questioning them randomly. Jain who was dressed in her brown leather jacket sighed and folded her arms. She wished to be back in her hot tub but that seemed
Lana opened her eyes slowly as she came back to reality. Her head was pounding hard and she winced in pain. So many questions were running through her mind. What happened? The last thing she could remember was talking to Rylan. That was before she passed out on the floor. At least that was what she had thought. She could remember being carried away. She could also remember the sound of car engines and the voice of Rylan who seemed ever-present. How had it all happened? Where had it all gone wrong?And then it hit her. She had been poisoned instead of Rylan. This came as a shock to her. She could remember coming to this conclusion just as she hit the ground. Seth had been planning for her instead. He knew that she was going to tell Rylan about their plans, and so he decided to kill her instead. Not only because she had spilled their secrets to their worst enemy, but also because she had enough evidence to incriminate them. It all made sense now.Lana knew she had to do something. Ryla
Lana’s nap was about three hours long. When she woke up, she felt a lot better. Her head was not pounding anymore, and her joints were not aching either. She was finally free from the poison. She wondered if Rylan was still around. It appeared she was occupying his bedroom which made her heart flutter. Never did she think that she would get this close to Rylan. She wasn’t sure there was anyone who had seen his bedroom. She was lucky. As Lana stepped out of the room in curiosity in search of Rylan, she found his closet room which left had stunned. He had all sorts of jewelry and designer suits. It was safe to say he had a good taste in fashion. The next thing she stumbled into was his kitchen. It was larger than usual and had everything you needed. An air fryer, two fridges. A huge gas stove and big cupboards were stacked with food. This came as no surprise to her. “Can I help you, Mrs. Pierce?” A voice asked behind her. Lana was almost startled out of her skin. She turned and found
A heartless man. That was what Rylan Daystar was to Lana Pierce. He had left her in his huge gymnasium completely flabbergasted by his words. She had thought of him to be kind and considerate for saving her life, but it seemed that was all for nothing. Lana had been hoping she would be able to convince him to let the casino stay, but he was so stubborn. This was why Seth was after him. This was why they wouldn’t stop till he was murdered. Rylan wasn’t going to listen to anybody, even her. Nevertheless, she owed him her life for saving her. Without him giving her the antidote, she wouldn’t have been sitting down at his gymnasium a few days ago as she had the conversation with him. It was now five days since she had been brought home by Rylan, and it seemed her presence was no longer welcome. Lana felt it was time for her to take her leave. There was nothing left for her here. Rylan had saved her life, and it seemed there was nothing more he could do for her. Lana didn't expect anythin
Seth Mannen slammed his fist on the table in anger. In his ear was the receiver of a telephone. Everybody at the table was startled by this. He was angry about something, and it seemed the whole table knew what it was. They had been searching for Lana’s body for about five days now and they still hadn’t found anything. It looked like she had disappeared from the face of the earth. That was impossible. Seth had been there when Rylan had picked her up and rushed her out of the hall. He didn’t know what he was going to do with her, but Seth had his suspicions. There was a huge possibility that Lana was still alive. “I don’t care!” He yelled at the phone. “Make sure you find her!”And with that, he slammed the phone receiver down in fury. Noah, who had a calm look on his face, watched Seth pant as he tried to catch his breath. It seemed it was more than what they thought it was. Perhaps Seth had something he was hiding from all of them. “What did they say?” Noah asked. Seth looked up a
Lana had decided to confront the shareholders. It had been on her mind immediately after she left Rylan’s house. It was a stupid move, but she did it anyway. It was to show that she wasn’t scared of them and that she knew they were behind it. She didn’t know who in particular had done it, but her focus was mainly on Seth. He had orchestrated the plan to kill Rylan. It would be no surprise that he would have changed his mind after she left and poisoned her instead. It would make perfect sense. “The lost sheep returns,” Seth said with his arms folded. Lana gritted her teeth and she glared at him. She was upset that he wasn’t surprised to see her as the rest of the table was. Cody seemed to be shivering in fear. They were all guilty of almost getting her killed. The only person who didn’t let that guilt faze him was Seth, and she detested it. “I know what all of you did!” Lana yelled. Seth chuckled. “We don’t know what you’re talking about.”Lana’s eyes went down to him. Seth was sa
