♡︎シ︎ CORVETTE シ︎♡︎I fiddled with my fingers placed on my laps when the cab driver stopped the car at the front of a penthouse.I don’t know why I am feeling this way even when I know this isn’t the first time I am preparing to go undercover.“Have a nice day” I said to the cab driver before I swiftly slid out of the car.The car zoomed off and I released a deep breath I didn’t even know I was holding and began walking towards the penthouse.'Brrr' The vibration in my pockets stopped me. I dug my hands into my pocket to bring out my phone.“Good morning, Megan. I’m in” I spoke immediately I picked the call up.Megan is my boss. I work as an undercover detective for a magazine company; 'Splash a Star' and Megan is the head of Splash a Star.Just like the name, Splash a star's motive is to get dirt on celebrity stars, bringing out the skeleton in their closets, and I am on an important mission today to get dirt on one of Los Angeles famous singer, popularly known as Gyro but I was anxiou
༆❁CORVETTE❁༄Closing the brown coloured french office door against me, I could feel the atmosphere in the area change and knowing fully well that I was the one who ultered it, I walked confidently past the set of people who came to apply for the same job.I couldn't help but notice the irritation on their faces when they noticed how happy and cheerful I was. How wouldn't I be happy? I had a feeling I would get the job of being Gyro's driver. There was just this unexplainable happiness brewing up in my chest underneath all the nervousness and right there as I was undergoing that evaluation test, I just knew I would get it.Mumurings flew in the air, dissatisfaction seizing the atmosphere the moment I walked out."We've been here for more than an hour, when is it going to be our turn?" A masculine voice grumbled, spurring up mild uproar as everyone began concuring to his statement."Exactly. Did you all bring us here just to stand and watch like spectators? What sort of interview is thi
~°CORVETTE°~'Another day, another dollar.'Certainly, we would all agree that it's a cliche and overused statement, but I see no other way to describe how tedious my life has been for the past eight years. Off course, it all pays off when I'm rewarded with a handsome paycheck from Megan after a job well done and this new job wasn't going to be any different. I started my job at Splash a Star right out of college and found myself moving up the ranks without much stress and problems. Even though my success in the firm was rather quick, most of my earlier years consisted of running petty errands, doing the desk work and going on assignments that my employers and seniors at the firm considered too low for agents of their calibres to embark on. Nevertheless, they still took the credit and applauds for those jobs I worked hard on. But to be honest, I think they were just being too proud and lazy to get their jobs done hence they pushed it over to the junior workers —hence, me.However, I
|•_CORVETTE_•|I woke up earlier than my usual time, don’t blame me though, I got a new job and still doing what I loved doing the most; getting dirt on people.I have no intentions of resuming late on my first day, neither do I have any intention of missing the opportunities to pick up one or two information that I could use on Gyro.I quickly had my shower and made my coffee from the coffee maker, then stepped out of the house.I arrived at the music company with a bright smile on my face, hmm… the smell of a new job.“Good morning” I chirped to the receptionist.She waved a dismissive hands at me but I ignored her and walked towards the office I was directed to as Gyro's office.“Come in” the soft voice of Gyro met my ears after I had knock.I turned the door knob and went in, keeping my composure calm.“Good morning,” I greeted and she smiled widely at me.“Good morning, erm… Coco? she trailed off, ending her sentence with a question and I rolled my eyes inwardly.“Yes, Coco.” I re
㋛︎ꨄ︎ CORVETTE ꨄ︎㋛︎In boredom I sighed, sitting on the driver seat with absolutely nothing to do. My only way of fetching out something tangible enough as an evidence to get dirt on Gyro was probably in her office.It's not even been up to a week and I'm already lacking the vigour to continue this mission, but I knew that definitely, I would fish out an evidence against Gyro. I've never failed a mission and I forbid this from being my first. Everyone at Splash a star was counting on me, the interns all looked up to me to fulfil the task at hand and teach them by example, so even though it won't be easy, I had faith that I was going to complete this job excellently.This wasn't how I imagined my first day on the job to be. It's been an hour plus since Gyro stepped out to go perform in the concert but it seems like an entire day, it definitely wouldn't be of good performance from me if I had to spend a full week here and no information about Gyro's dirty secrets was leaked out.I could
♡︎❦︎ CORVETTE ❦︎♡︎I couldn’t check the mail update from Megan due to the bad network service in the area that we where, so I made a mental note to check it out later on. However, I couldn’t shake off the thought that Megan had sent something very important.She usually conveyed information to me via calls and she texted sometimes. But she never used emails unless it’s a very serious matter and me being eager to see what it was is an understatement, I was highly anxious. Stupid network service!I started the ignition and geared the car into acceleration and began driving. It was a Black Phantom Rolls Royce — a very expensive and sophisticated vehicle and I have to admit I liked the way it felt when I drive it; I liked the feel of my feet pressing down on the gas peddle unhitched, I like the feel of smoothly maneuvering of the steering wheel and the real leather seats made my rear feel comfortable, not to mention the soft noise the tyres made plying the road.What I did not like, or rat
✔︎ꨄ︎CORVETTEꨄ︎✔︎My heart hammered loudly in my chest when the person got close to the window. I was like a deer caught in a headlight. Since the lights of the office were turned on I couldn’t hide from the person, knowing I've been seen.I moved my hands indiscreetly and I quickly hid the picture I had found.The person knocked on the window and I swallowed. I moved closer to the window and formed a brave composure like I wasn't guilty of anything.I opened the window and I smiled at the person, who I discovered soon, was one of Gyro's bodyguards.“Good evening, Miss.” He greeted. He stared at me suspiciously, but I didn’t budge, my composure was still as strong as ever.“Good evening sir” I responded smiling at him, if only he could see how my hands were shaking slightly but ‘I, Coco, has mastered the art of acting'.“Is everything okay Ma’am? I heard a scream from this place” He asked.“Oh, no, not at all. I am good” I replied.“Oh, I just thought…” He trailed off but I put my hand
☘︎☞︎︎︎CORVETTE☜︎︎︎☘︎... The next morning...Last night was indeed a breakthrough, like they say, true success only locates those who are willing to risk it to the end.Nothing good comes easy and I was very well aware of the strenuous and arduous steps I was mandated to take to ensure that my being here was not a waste and to make sure I don't fail this mission or disappoint Megan and every other person that looked up to me.Not many of them at Splash a star magazine were opportuned to take a high tensioned responsibility like this; If only they had worked harder to get a position like mine, I'm quite certain they wouldn't be under me as they are right now.My struggles weren't of milk and honey, sometimes I would think of giving up because of the gravity of the job given to me but I kept on pushing on because I was willing to win against all odds and at all costs.In front of me was Splash a Star magazine building, it was a tall glass skyscraper and it almost seemed impossible to see
***************** GRAND FINALE!!! ***************** CORVETTE's POV Finally in LA, I got out of the airport and boarded a taxi to the company. It felt good to be going back to Megan because had so many memories with her but I felt happier I was going there to quit such a job. I was no longer going t destroy people's life even when they haven't done anything wrong to me, I am going t find a better job, not such a heartless one. Although Megan has been good to me, I just realized what I've been doing was very wrong and it is all thanks to Nicholas for being real with me I would have been a mess. Now I was in love with my Prey and we were going to start a brand new life together and start everything afresh in a new environment. I would have never thought I would fall in love with Nicholas because he felt proud and egocentric but he isn't as I got to know him I realized he is a nice gentleman. I finally switched on my phone and almost immediately a call came in from Megan. I didn
NICHOLAS'POVI rolled to bring Coco close to me but I met an empty bed, I opened my eyes and of course didn’t find her anywhere in the room. I rolled out of the bed and went to the bathroom but Coco wasn’t there either and the bathroom doesn’t look like it has been used.I got out of the room and checked the dining hall, she want there either, I searched the kitchen, the living room but I came up with emptiness. Coco wasn’t in the house, where had she gone to? I went back into the room I might have missed when I was down here.“Coco!” I called.“Coco!” I called again but was met with nothing, I began to have this feelings in my heart, this feelings that Coco wasn’t in this house. I went back to the bed and when I touched the spot she was supposed to have slept on, it was cold and it dawned on me that Corvette Vincent’s has left me.I thought we were finally getting along just fine, I had even confessed my feelings more than once to her then why did he leave? Was I not loving enough fo
NICHOLAS's POV I was so angry and pissed off at both Corvette and Selena. I couldn't believe that Selena had the nerves to utter such rubbish to me. I can’t believe Coco didn’t inform me about what had transpired between her and Selena. I arrived at the house and the beautiful aroma of pasta wafted into my nose which drove me to the direction of the dinning hall, Coco stood there looking sexy as fuck with the apron around her. “Oh hey Nicholas, I wasn’t aware you’ve returned” she said. I placed my hands on her hips and brought her close to me, capturing her lips and she reciprocated, her hands in my hair which made a groan leave my mouth as her fingers found my scalp. “I wasn’t standing for so long, I just got here” I said. “I am starving” I said and took a seat. I began to decor the food in front of me, I wasn’t aware I was this hungry when I was Selena, I guess seeing her alone drove the hunger away. “Why didn’t you inform me about what Selena said to you? I know you both had
NICHOLAS's POV I woke up early as usual, I placed a good morning kiss on Coco’s cheeks and went into the bathroom to wash off. I returned back to still find Coco asleep on the bed and I chuckled, of course she must be exhausted after the marathon we had last night. “Babe” “Baby” I called trying to get her up from the bed. I have a meeting with Selena Jones as instructed by the director and I will be some minutes late if I don’t leave soon. “Good morning” she finally said as she yawned and stretched on the bed. “Good morning, I am really sorry for waking you up this early but we need to get going” I shot her a pleading look and it could seem she sense the urgency in my tone because she slid out of the bed and went into the bathroom. She didn’t spend much of her time in the bathroom then stepped out. She got dressed and together we both stepped out, I had already given a call to Tommy, I am sure he must be out there waiting for my arrival. We got out and just asI had predicted Tom
CORVETTE'S POV I still can’t believe this is happening. I can’t believe Nicholas is finally opening up to me. The whole night has taken a different turn, I wasn’t expecting any of this, yes, I expected the diner that was after Tommy had brought the dress and shoe and had informed me about the date but this! This was unexpected and it made my day. He was being extra ordinarily sweet and I loved and hate it at the same time. How can I break his heart now, how can break his heart now that he has finally found the heart to open up to me. I don’t think I have the mind to break up with the man that I finally found love and happiness in? A man that shows me what it meant to be respected by a spouse. Nicholas held my hands and smiled up at me, he placed little kisses on my fingers. “You know since when you said you wanted kids and marriage. I might have been against it from the onset but after that conversation with you, I pondered about it and I realized that maybe I want my own mini me
NICHOLAS' POV After Tommy had left, I headed to the restaurant with a smile on my face, our days on the island was coming to an end and I wanted to make it memorable. I demanded to see the manager and booked the restaurant for the evening, yes, I booked the restaurant. I want the restaurant to be of Coco and I alone including the staff. I could have let Tommy do the booking, I could have spoken to the manager through the phone but I wanted to do it in person. I took in a deep breath. A lot has happened, a lot has happened here and looking back to those days I smiled at the memories, starting from the first day I had seen her in the room trying to break my box and the other time I had caught her again sneaking around my room. I had hated her at first glance, I might have loved her body but I hated what she was especially when I found out she was a journalist who was more of a spy than a journalist. I guess fate has a way in playing tricks at us. And I want to relief those memorie
CORVETTE Over the week I talked to myself and pondered how leaving Nicholas for LA would be, I can't stand it if he's hurt and I wouldn't want such to happen but I have no other options or choice than to leave for good reasons, well well I can't think of hurting Nicholas but I have no choice but I will make sure to come back for you that's if it's possible. "Well I don't know what I should do I'm just so confused but the whole situation on ground because now leaving for LA I quite urgent and I gotta go but how will I do it that it won't affect my love life or relationship with Nicholas, I really do love him, urgh why do I keep repeating the same words over and over again." I said to myself perambulating up and down the whole room, I was just so restless as I was unable to calm myself down. For the first time in a long while I've found true love and I wouldn't want to do anything that would affect my love life, if I leave Nicholas would be hurt so would I, but if I don't I would miss
NICHOLAS It's high time we left?? The look on Coco's face did a big job in showing me how pissed she was but what I didn't understand was what pissed her off or who? I mean, few minutes ago before she excused herself she was okay with smiles on her face and now she returned with a frown which I doubt she could hide. I guess whatever it is, I would have to find out when we leave. Selena sashayed her way back to the table and I frowned, could it be that she got pissed because of Selena? Did Selena say something to piss her off? The look on Selena’s face was as if she had won the trophy and I might as well take a big guess that she could be the reason behind Coco’s anger but I didn’t want to make such assumptions, Coco might be pissed off based on something else and not related to Selena. "I am really sorry guys, but I guess it's time for us to return back home" I announced to the group. I didn't wait for their answer when I slipped my hands into Coco's and we both walked out. I t
CORVETTE My jaw dropped and I let out a gasp, overwhelmed by the multitude of paparazzi and reporters that stood outside. I have never been around so much people before while being the center of attraction. Panic gripped my heart and I began to tremble within yet still trying my best to not let my apprehension show and forced a smile as multiple camera lights began to flash in my face. I know I said I was ready for this before but I guess I didn’t know what exactly I was bargaining for. I had expected this at all, it’s all too much for me to handle. How does Nicholas keep his cool around so many people all the time. “Nicholas, wait.” I latched into his arm as he was about to go out of the vehicle. He paused, turning to look at me. “I’m scared.” I admitted lowly. “But just a moment ago, you said you were ready Corvette.” Nicholas reminded me and I sighed. A moment ago, I hadn’t known what I was getting into. “I know but, they’re so many. What if they start to judge you for goin
