Okay, I'm so sorry, I haven't updated in a while but I got another idea and thought, Of course, I have to share this. I worked on it and here it is... I know the Chapter was a bit longer than usual but everything must be in its right place, right? Anyway, how was the chapter? Who do you think sent the gift box? And what do you think Precious took from it's owner?
I always knew the world of a billionaire wasn’t a bed of roses, they also had thorns on their sticks but what I didn’t know was why I was always the target. Whoever sent that gift box meant for me to be scared and even though the bones were fake, it still did a number on me. Not the scared part, the angry part. I was furious that someone would go to such lengths to try and scare me after all the shit I had gone through.“Do you have any idea who might want to hurt you?” Detective Wallice, who had helped them find me when I was kidnapped, asked and I raised a brow in response.Ethan and I were sitting in my office, as the detectives wanted to see us both. Ethan and I sat on one of the couches while the detectives, Wallice and Carol sat opposite us. I had suggested we have the meeting in my office in case anyone tried to pull a second scare sham and they all willingly agreed.“Well, seeing as Shawn and David are still sitting in a jail cell, and Marley is God knows where, I really do no
By Friday, I thought things had calmed down, and I could finally have some head space to think about anything except a pile of fake bones but we can’t always get what we wish for right?“So, you’re telling me that two people have visited Davis recently?” I asked, trying to understand the concept of what was happening and who could be trying to scare me. I kept pacing behind my office rotating chair as my free left hand massaged my temple.“Yes. A certain Miss Jordan Roberts and Mr. Roger Phillips, however, these two people do not have any record in the system and especially the Roberts woman. She has worked job to job as a different person each time until she finally disappeared,” Detective Wallice said and rested his back on the chair he sat on opposite the mahogany table.“Well, what does she look like?” I asked because I assumed they would have checked the security footage to get a good look at her.“Well, according to the security footage, she has icy blonde hair and bright blue e
“When I started in the company, I worked my bones off to be the best and Mr. Davis recognized my skill and hard work and promoted me to Head of the research section. We became friends because we had a lot in common except, he wasn’t married and I was. He helped my wife get the medical bills privilege even though her bills were past the insurance policy,” Philips started and I leaned to sit on the desk as the detectives brought out their notepads and scribbled some things on it. “He was a good to us but he had his demons. He loved women and never wanted to settle for one. Whenever we’d go drinking, he’d brag about his latest catch which was why I wasn’t shocked when he got arrested for rape and embezzlement,” “Then why were you so against me taking over the company?” I asked, not giving in to his sad crap. I did pity his wife and I knew I would never carry out my threat because well, God won’t allow me. I would only fire him though. “I was scared you’d revoke the privileges when you
I always thought I would be spending my new year fawning over the fact that I got engaged to a white man, and planning the wedding but instead here I was, seated on Ethan’s bed with hot coffee in my hand the day after I got scared out of my wits just waiting for either the boogeyman to strike or for the authorities to catch whoever was behind this. I had gone into shock when I saw the gift box containing a dead cat, so much so that I didn’t even know when Ethan came rushing into my office and carrying into his car before driving us home. I couldn’t speak but according to Ethan, I slept off as soon as he dropped off Funke over at Joel’s apartment. When I woke up this morning, which was around 12pm, I was disoriented and didn’t want to get up, which was why I was still seated on his bed, with a pillow headrest and a giant comforter snuggling my petite form. I sipped the hot coffee that Ethan had brewed and turned my gaze to the side to see Ethan staring at me with worry. I didn’t blam
My jaw ticked as I stared at the two detectives who had gone rather silent or should I say, they were silently communicating. Ethan and I sat side by side in Detective Wallice’s office at the NYPD wondering in silence why the two detectives who had watched the security footage suddenly went silent. “Can someone please say something?” I finally snapped in frustration causing them to snap their gazes at me before Wallice sighed and sat down. “This isn’t enough incriminating evidence, she,” he started. “What do you mean there's not enough evidence? We can both clearly see that she’s blackmailing and threatening the only lead we had who ended up giving us wrong information,” I said or rather yelled until I felt a hand on my back making me turn my head to Ethan incredulously as I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. The footage clearly showed Mr. Philips talking to this woman, who I thought had finally been by my side and she was threatening him, to give us false information. What coul
Ethan was a man of little words when it came to romance, but that was because he always preferred taking action instead and I loved him for it and even though it may be expensive, it was free food for me and bills on him, so who was I to complain?He drove for thirty minutes or so, and parked at a particularly familiar diner. Wong’s diner has been our escape shack when we were both stressed from everything but we hadn’t been here in a while and so with a smile on my face, I stepped out.“Why Wong’s?” I asked curiously.“Well, to get on for the day, we need to fill you up first,” he said and winked before grabbing my hand and pulling me inside. We took our regular table and I smiled as I recalled our experiences in this place.“Remember how I got you roped into my life here?” he asked, flashing his pearly white teeth. A waiter came for our orders before I could reply. We ordered our usual and the waiter left.“Of-course, I remember, it wasn’t particularly convincing,” I said but he smi
“Thank you, Brook. Please, send the emails to the accounting department,” I said and handed over a file to the standing brunette, who looked as firm as ever.“Of course, ma’am,” she replied firmly and waited for me to sign the last papers.My eyes scanned the clock on my desk and the time read, 4:51 pm.“I’m leaving early today, so you can go home now,” I told her and watched as her brows were raised in question.“Oh, I have something important to do,” my reply was vague, but I wasn’t about to blot out my entire evening plan with her, even though she may be a friend.“Noted, ma’am,” she said and bobbed her head once before walking out after receiving the signed file from me.I placed my head in my hands and blew out a puff of breath. It has been exactly 15 days since I received the threat, which meant that in less than a week, I was going to receive another shot of scare. I have tried to do whatever I could to help the police but even they are stuck at a dead end because Davis still r
I stared hard at the pale woman before me and I was sure my face resembled that of a frozen stone because of how frequently she was biting her lips in worry.I was also confused. Why would she be worried? If she was behind everything that has happened, then shouldn’t her expression be hard as well, so as not to give anything away?“Have anything to say? And don’t even think about bolting, you wouldn’t want to mess with the NYPD,” Ethan said after a few minutes of silence.“I can’t say anything. No, I shouldn’t say anything,” she mumbled quietly, but we could still hear her. Her tone sounded really stressed and I was starting to worry.“Why can’t you say anything? Are you the one behind all the threatening gifts?” my tone was hard, but enough to make her gaze snap at mine, and she shook her head furiously, making me arch a brow in confusion.What the heck is going on?“This is evidence that you are either the culprit or an accomplice and you can very well go to jail, so I suggest you s
