Everything around James stopped being audible as his heart started to beat. On the morning of her trail, Kim was discovered dead. Anika Sage and Don Sage were the only names that came to mind. Even though tears were running down his cheeks, he refrained from crying aloud. He sat back in his chair with his hand covering his mouth, finding it difficult to breathe. Kim was gone forever. His childhood friend and sweetheart is no longer there, and he will never see her again. His phone rang once more, but this time it was from an unidentified number. As he held it up to his ear, James' hand began to tremble. "Hello." His breath was deep. Someone spoke in a machine voice. "I see that you are aware of the Kimberly Ghorsy news. If you continue to investigate me, one of your family members will be the next to be found dead." Then the laughter started, and the phone hung up right away. James set the phone on the table and his hands were tightly clasped. He was certain that Don had called h
"How much money are we talking about here?" Din asked. "Well enough. Enough to start her own successful fashion line while also paying off the debt. She had you, too, and you just kept giving her more. You kept spending on her." Din firmly folded his hands. He was duped by the woman he believed to be his lover. All along, he was the one being used as a pawn. "I will kill her." "Well, brother, relax your muscles. The key here is to maintain your composure. You won't take any action until we identify Jessie's killer. When she calls, you will meet her and act as though nothing is wrong." "Now that I know all this, how am I going to pull that off?" "You'll manage just fine. You'll manage just fine." James looked at Din as he got to his feet. "I need to return to the office." Din narrowed his eyes. "Aren't you supposed to be sleeping? I am aware you worked throughout the night. Besides, Kim just died. I know that you want to cry, so cry. Why are you holding back?" James took a deep
"I'll be back at home soon. I will fully explain everything when I get home." Jessie got up to leave the room as soon as he put the phone to an end. Sierra and Bev were chatting on the couch in the living room when Jessie arrived. They were both startled to see Jessie in the living room as she sat down on the empty chair. "Why are you here? Even after dinner, you don't always come into the living room," said Bev. "Din hasn't returned yet. I am awaiting his arrival." "Ooouuu. She is beginning to resemble all the wives who patiently await their husbands' return from work." Sierra made a remark."No. I'm not hanging around for that. I have some other reasons." "What reason?" Jessie gave Bev a strange look as she inquired. "You don't need to know." She got off the sofa and left for Din's room. When Din didn't arrive, Jessie waited but eventually fell asleep on the couch. A little later, Din showed up. He was considering what James had said about Beth when Jessie called. Beth had be
James got ready for work when it was seven o'clock in the morning. His sleep duration was only a few hours. He eagerly anticipated seeing the finished photograph. He still needs to go see the higher ups to get the go-ahead for taking on Don Sage's case. As he was leaving, his phone buzzed. It was a member of his staff. "Go on." "Sir. The result is out. I have it with me." "All right. I'm heading to work right now." A sigh of relief escaped his chest as soon as he hung up the phone. He was relieved that the offender would eventually be apprehended and that Jessie would be free to move around without fear of being attacked. When his car came to a stop in the parking lot, he turned off the engine and went inside the station. James motioned for the officer to come over when he saw the one who had earlier called. "Sir. Here it is." An envelope was given to James by the officer. "Inside are the pictures.""Thank you." As he made his way to his front door, James said. As soon as he unlo
It was already 12:30 when Din arrived at the entrance to Williams' bar. Jessie had recently gone to the record label to sing, and he had just dropped her off at home. He had enticed her to kiss him two nights prior, and he felt bad about it because he could see Jessie's expression when he pulled away and lied about the cord. Din got out of his car and entered William's pub. He waved and came over to Williams when he saw his friend in front of the bartender. "I had no idea you would be here," he said. Din received a drink that Williams had just ordered. "You didn't notify me that you were coming, so…" Williams paid close attention to Din as he took a seat. "What? Is there something on my face?" When Din realized the long stare was continuing, he asked. "No. I'm just relieved that everything is over and that you are here. We haven't met in this way recently. How is your wife doing?" "She is coping." Din sighed. Three months ago, if Williams had referred to Jessie as his wife, the
The car came to a stop in front of a sizable house. James spent some time looking around the house while the window was open. The image he was holding was an exact replica of the structure he was staring at. "This building looks familiar." One officer spoke. James gave him a quick look. "Have you seen something like this before?" "Yes, sir." The policeman pulled out his phone and started looking up Megan Lewis. Her information was revealed as a result. She managed a clothing company. a well-known fashion label. "Bingo. We found her.""Who is she?" "Well, she has a daughter and owns a fashion company. Beth is the name of her daughter.""Beth?" When James inquired, the officer nodded. "Beth Lewis." There was only one Beth Lewis, he knew. Now it all makes sense. It was her mother, not Beth, who completed the task. James became enraged at the thought of that. He frowned as he told the driver to turn the car back to the station. He took a seat when he returned to his office. Megan was
It was already Saturday. While watching Din prepare for the wedding, Jessie remained in front of the mirror. She was disappointed that she couldn't go.Sierra had requested Jessie's company on Thursday so she could try on her custom dress at the store. Jessie felt sad as she watched Sierra get dressed. Sierra had picked up on Jessie's actions as well. She had to inquire as to what was bothering her. When the salesgirl helped her zip up her dress, she gave herself a once-over in the mirror and asked, "Did you offend my brother?" She moved from her current position and went over to talk to Jessie. "If you had done that, you should talk it out with him or apologize. I know my brother has been a dick, but I feel like he is punishing you. I would like to know the reason, so I can help you talk to him so he can change his mind. How do I look?" Jessie gave a nod. "You look really pretty in that color. Being the bridesmaid, all eyes will be on you." She couldn't tell Sierra that the reason
Din patiently awaited Sierra outside the church. When she stepped outside, she turned to look behind Din and saw that Jessie would be at the wedding, but covertly. "The program is about to start. Why did you call me out here?" Din sighed. "I worry about you, Sierra. I'm aware that you haven't been speaking to me, and I'd like to know what went wrong." "Can we discuss this later?""Well, the fact that my sister isn't speaking to me bothers me." Sierra scoffed. "Brother, I've been busy. After the wedding is over, we can talk more about this. Come on, now." She didn't want to bring up Jessie in conversation. If she started talking to Din about Jessie, he would be wary.Din followed as she made a U-turn toward the door. Both of them sat down in the middle row. He could not believe that his grandfather would tie the knot for a third time. Even though he is getting older, he still enjoys marrying young women. Din noticed some family members sitting across from them. He gave Sierra a li
