He gripped her by the collar of her white crips shirt, wiggling her neck.“ You are hurting me, Matty” She groaned from Matthew’s muscular hand around her neck.“ Bastard! “ Matthew choked her more, making her run out of oxygen. “ Now, listen to me, I know this was all your intelligent plan, and trust me, I will kill you and bury you alive now. Do you think I freaky don't know about this?” he laughed boisterously at her and she froze deep to death.She wriggled her body trying to be free from Matthew’s grip but he gripped her harder, pushing her fiercely till her back rested on the hard wall.Tick sweat gushed out of Kim’s face.

Holding the phone, the excitement in Shawn’s face darkened. “ What is the matter Shawn, you don't look too excited” Knowles fixed a curious gaze at Shawn.Not wanting to be a nuisance, Shawn waved the seriousness off his face, masquerading it with a fake smile.“It's nothing serious, Father” he glanced at his father uneasily. “ Ummm, Father, my wife-to-be is coming on Thursday to see you. She would be here for my inauguration too” Knowles was excited. This was the best news ever. At most, he was glad his only son realized his mistakes on time.

What are you still doing in the office at this time?” He asked her, scanning her deeply to know her motives.Has she been standing by the door, trying to eavesdrop? Well, his office was soundproof.
