Her words spark a reaction in everyone in the lobby, including the receptionist who immediately rings up Jade and exchanges a few words with her.

Alexa smirks at the reaction she's able to get from the people as they start to gather and to murmur amongst themselves. "Oh, you're wondering if it is true? It is completely and totally true. I received an anonymous tip this morning that my husband, who did not come home last night has spent the whole night with this whore."

The elevator opens and out comes the tall, black haired secretary, Jade.

She simply looks at the door and the men nod immediately, reading the meaning in her look.

With the aura she possesses, as she walks to meet Alexa in the middle of the large hall, the people standing in her way part so she can walk through to the front.

"Are you sure about this claims?"

Alexa turns to her immediately, completely thinking something else. She definitely has the look of a reporter so Alexa thought she's reached out so she can get an e

    "When I was three years old, some of you have got children that age or maybe even less, either way, I went missing as a child. Still don't know how that happened but I disappeared when I was three. When I became conscious of myself and my surroundings, I discovered I didn't have parents and was living in an orphanage run on charity... Things were tight. Even that I had to do after school jobs and all of that just to make ends meet."By now, the whole hall is silent and hanging on to her every word while she mentally accesses the situation before her.Daisy is there, waiting to lay a bait so that all these reporters that line up the front row on the other side will have something to drag her for but if she wants to have a successful life, she must avoid online conflicts by all means, and even if they do happen, it must be in her favor...And what's better to bring a person to the right side than a sob story? True story, but sob all the same... "When I turned eighteen, I was turned out

    Back in the office, Bethany breathes a heavy sigh of relief as she grabs her bag off the couch. "We can leave now.""Sure." Arthur opens the door for her and she heads out first.Jade is standing right there in the doorway. "You had informed me that you won't be around for most of today so most of your meetings have been rescheduled between tomorrow and the day after.""Thank you very much Jade.""Also, I wanted to ask if we should blacklist Daisy Worth?""Yes please. John Worth too, even though he has not come here yet. That's practically the whole family.""Noted ma'am.

    The kiss lasts for about three minutes before he pulls away, trying to catch his breath. He then chuckles."What's funny?" She asks, breathlessly."I just thought of something.""What is that?""You take my breath away, literally."She rolls her eyes and laughs lightly, the earlier tense moments forgotten. "We are here." He announces as he looks out the window to see the tall gates that he's starting to get familiar with. The gates open right when they get to the front.Bethany does not fail to notice the blinking cameras at the top of the gate pillars that are turned their way.The car drives by and enters into the large estate. Not a compound, an estate. It's so large that there are acres and acres of vineyards stretched on both sides of the road and at the end of it is some scattered apartments and homes for members of the staff to live in so there is no shortage of staff around.Right smack in the middle of the large expanse of land is a castle like building.

    Just about ten minutes later, dressed fully in a suit and long deep blue coat, Mason comes down the staircase, stopping to see the trio in the living room."Good afternoon. Hi Mum..." He comes in and pecks Martha on the forehead."Can't you have just one day off? You're always off to work."Mason chuckles and shrugs. "What can I say? You gave birth to a man who's a doctor and is a capable boss at the same time, so he's pretty busy." He sends a slight wink to Bethany and then his eyes land on Arthur.Arthur, equally, looks right back at him as well. His lips turned up in a small smile and his eyes daring him to do or say something out of turn."Good afternoon, Mr Worth.""Good afternoon, Mr Campbell. How are you doing today?"Both women exchange glances, feeling the chill in the air."I am quite alright. Ah, I have been meaning to invite you to get a glass of coffee with me, how does that sound with you?"Arthur shrugs, his smile deepening. "Sounds good. You just let me know when and w

    Outside the tall medical building, John gives a small whoop as he calls his driver to come pick him up out front.He turns around and admires the glowing name out front. "Who would have known he was such a chill person?" He mutters to himself. His phone vibrates in his pocket and he picks it out."Hello?""How did it go?" The caller asks immediately, slight excitement in the voice."It went really well. With all of the rumors about how wicked and cruel he can be, he was actually pretty cool headed with me.""That's exciting news. So where are you headed now?""I don't have plans, how about we meet over some food, and then I can go shopping for the missus with your help.""You know I could never turn you down even when you bring up your wife."John rolls his eyes, a lilting smile on his lips. "Come on, it's a happy day, don't be moody. Should we meet at Eclipse?""Give me an hour.""I'll be waiting." He hangs up just as the car comes around, his exuberance is visible to everyone that h

    The next morning, Bethany joins them down at breakfast, a bit disgruntled. "You two are so against me. Why would you two make breakfast?"Arthur looks up while taking off the apron. "What breakfast?"Bethany cocks her head to the side. "Really?" She shakes her head in the direction of the apron that he only just discarded."Oh that? I was just helping to cut veggies."Martha rolls her eyes. "Fine then, if you're angry with being left out, help us set the table.""Finally, something to do."Martha and Arthur watch her go."She still hasn't gotten over feeling responsible for everything and every work that should be done?""I think that one will take a while. The first week of us living together, she woke up four am every morning without fail. She'd go cleaning, washing, mopping, makes breakfast and then I'll wake up to see all of that. I have staff to do all those things but she did it without fail.""Wow. That's as a result of...""When you do that for two to three years, it's bound t

    The late morning brings Bethany into the office, drove in by Arthur's car.He kisses her on the forehead before sending her off. "I don't know why you all like to do that.""The meaning behind a kiss on the forehead is... I'll tell you some other time. Go on in."She groans lightly and gets off. She stops and raises her hand with the intention to wave but then, she stops herself and just sends him off with a smile of her own.She turns around and looks up and down at the building once again, still a little bit feeling like a dream to her. She walks to the doors and pushes it open.The few employees loitering about or going about their business notice her and do small bows immediately.Bethany musters a smile for them and takes the elevator up, simple and not announcing her presence so a bunch of well built security men will accompany her up.Nope.The doors to the elevator opens and closes just as Jade exits her office through the glass double doors."Ma'am."

As he walks up the patio steps, he glances back to see the middle aged man reeling under the bags and just turns away to enter the house, completely looking over him.Daisy is waiting in the living room already. She might have been there all night, waiting.John struggles not to sigha and roll his eyes but he draws closer to her and kisses her on the cheeks. "Good afternoon honey. Why are you here?""Where else would I be?" She retorts, searching his face."Well, you know that is not what I meant. Why are you up this early?""Where were you all night? I had so many things to tell you but you just disappeared and did not pick all of your calls all night. Do you think that is fair? Can't I just go out too and disappear for the whole night?

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   The Catch, The Anger, The Drive.

    Red and blue lights painted the darkened club exterior in flashing bursts as police officers stormed through the entrance. As always, whenever there is the sound of even the slightest movements of the police within a club’s surroundings, there is an unheard hush that goes through the crowd…In this case, especially the long line outside waiting to be admitted into the building.A group of onlookers had gathered just outside as well, murmuring in hushed voices, their curiosity piqued by the commotion of the police vehicles. The club's music still thumped through the walls, seemingly oblivious to the chaos unraveling outside.Bethany stood beside Daisy and Quinn, breathless, her heart still hammering from the near disaster she had narrowly escaped, although a bit calm now compared to when her back had been against the wall with slicked back’s hands to her neck.Arthur stood beside them, his jaw locked, his fury simmering just beneath the surface.She knows that a part of his anger is at

    Detective Marsh strides into the station with an unmistakable swagger in his steps, whistling a low tune under his breath. His leather jacket swings slightly as he walks, his confidence practically radiating off him. The morning sun filters through the windows, casting a sharp glow across the room.He does look like he has achieved something… He really has. Even though he looks nothing like he slept all night, his smile is still unfaltering.He did not catch a wink of sleep but he has some business here at work today.With John Worth.At the coffee vending machine, Detective Halloway eyes him with suspicion as he stirs his coffee. He raises a brow and takes a slow sip before asking, “Alright, what’s with the strut? You win the lottery or something?”Marsh chuckles and shakes his head. “Better. You’ll see, come along.”Halloway sighs, dumping his half full cup into the trash before following his partner down the hall. “I swear to God, if this is another one of your dramatic reveals, I…

    Bethany reaches the door, her heart slamming against her ribs. She twists the knob…Nothing.She tries again, this time pulling harder.Locked.Panic surges through her, but she tamps it down. She’s not trapped. She won’t be trapped.The room goes silent behind her.She slowly turns.The men are no longer laughing. They’re staring at her, their drunken haze lifting as realization sets in."You’re not drunk, you don’t look drunk at all." one of them says, his voice low and dangerous.Bethany forces out a nervous giggle. "W-What are you talking about?"Slicked-Back steps forward, his face darkening. "You set us up, didn’t you? You little vixen."Bethany doesn’t hesitate. She yanks her phone from her clutch and shouts into it…"Call Officer Reynold now, Daisy!"Then, she hangs up.A deadly silence follows.All four men straighten, their expressions shifting from confusion to cold calculation."You little bitch," one of them hisses.Bethany backs against the door, gripping her phone tight

  • Divorced my Cheating Husband for his Billionaire Uncle   Slicked Back and Three Musketeers

    Bethany steps through the doorway, her heels clicking softly against the hardwood floor. The room is dimly lit, thick with the scent of expensive cologne and alcohol, the mini strobe lights just make the sense of thick drugs in the air only increase, and she already has a headache.The moment she enters, four pairs of male eyes snap up to her, taking in her appearance with a mixture of curiosity and predatory amusement.She lets her gaze drift lazily from one man to the next, feigning a slightly dazed expression. Then, as if just realizing something, she presses her fingers to her lips and lets out a soft giggle."Umm... I was told someone was looking for me?" Her voice is intentionally high-pitched, flirty, tinged with just the right amount of uncertainty and girlishness.Mostly with the naivety they are looking for.One of the men, a tall, broad-shouldered guy with slicked-back hair and an eager smile, immediately rises from his seat. His dark eyes roam shamelessly over her body, an

    Quinn, sensing Daisy’s hesitation, chimes in, “Honestly, Mum, if anyone can pull this off, it’s Bethany. You should see the transformation she did on me back then when I had to go to a party. I went from ‘meh’ to ‘wow’ in ten minutes.”Daisy smiles a little wider. “Fine. I trust you, Bethany. But if I end up looking like a clown...”Bethany waves her off. “Don’t even joke about that. I’m a professional.”After a few more minutes of meticulous work, Bethany steps back, a satisfied grin on her face. “There! Now, behold the new and improved Daisy Worth.”Daisy hesitates for a moment before turning to face the mirror. When she sees her reflection, her eyes widen in surprise. The woman staring back at her is almost unrecognizable. Her eyes are smokey and bold, her lips a deep crimson that compliments her complexion. Her hair, now styled in soft waves, frames her face perfectly.She looks nothing like the forty year old woman she is.“Wow...” Daisy breathes, reaching up to touch her cheek.

    Bethany picks up Daisy’s phone from the coffee table, her heart racing. The caller ID reads “Quinn’s Case’s Officer.”Without overthinking it, she redials the number, already planning her next move. She needs to know what the officer has to say, but she doesn’t want to wake Daisy. As the phone rings, Bethany pinches her nose with one hand, slightly distorting her voice to make it less recognizable.The worldwide method of changing voices, hopefully, it works."Hello?" The officer's voice comes through, gruff but alert. "Who's this?"Bethany clears her throat, forcing herself to sound casual. “Hi Officer Reynolds, it’s Daisy Worth. Sorry, my voice is a little off, I just woke up. My sister in law told me you called and wanted to speak to me?”The officer hesitates. “You sound strange. Everything alright?”Bethany’s pulse quickens, hoping that he does not catch on, but she forces a small laugh. "Yeah, I’m fine. Just groggy. It's been a long day."After another moment of silence, the off

    The evening sun casts a warm glow over the smaller sized living room as Bethany watches Martha crocheting opposite her. The house is quiet, filled with the soft sounds of yarn sliding between fingers and the occasional clink of the teacups beside them.She is currently learning how to crochet and how crocheting, according to Martha, is a way of life of elderly people which they were laughing about just a few minutes before. It’s a peaceful moment, one that Bethany savors, until her phone vibrates against the armrest.She glances down at the screen and frowns.It’s Daisy.“Strange,” she murmurs to herself. They’d just seen Daisy the day before, so this early evening call feels odd. Without hesitation, she excuses herself from the room, stepping into the hallway before answering.“Hello? Daisy? Is everything alright?” Bethany asks, her voice steady but tinged with concern.For a moment, all she hears is sniffling, soft and shaky. “Daisy?” Bethany repeats, a bit louder, and worried this

    Silence swallowed the room whole, thick and suffocating… and bare.It was the kind of silence that came before the realization of something irreversible, something that can’t be taken back.John sat frozen, the weight of his crimes pressing down on him like an ocean tide. His breathing was shallow, erratic, his eyes darting between Daisy and Marsh. For the first time since his detention, it looked as if the reality of his situation had truly settled into his bones. He had managed to let his hope live somehow by believing that he did not kill Sienna and that with proper investigation, he would be released but now…That hope has shattered, never to be pieced together anymore.Daisy’s confession echoed in the room, refusing to be ignored.“She told me that John killed her mother. That he pushed her, Anita, off the bridge back at their hometown, into the water."Marsh let the words settle, savoring the sheer destruction playing out on John’s face. He leaned back in his chair, arms crossed,

    The elevator doors slid open with its normal ping, revealing Halloway, Marsh, and Daisy as they stepped out on to the ground floor of the police station.The air in the station is as thick with tension more than she can remember each time she has been there, and each time, all the weight on her shoulders seem to triple compared to the last time and even now, it sems like it has gone up a hundred fold, the weight of unspoken words pressing down on Daisy's shoulders so much that her back visible hunches.Her footsteps echoed slightly on the cold, tiled floors as she followed Marsh to the interrogation room where John had been detained, the same one she had seen him in all those days ago.Almost two days now. The thought sent a shiver down her spine, how had it come to this? To think he had come to rescue her at the time but now, he is the one who had been held back.As they approached the heavy, reinforced door, Marsh paused and glanced at her. “You’re ready ma’am?” His tone was firm but
