“What? Why are you staring at me that way?”

He caught her right on time so she couldn't possibly deny it. The sound of the engine came to a halt. She became alert as he loosened his seatbelt, alighting from the car.

She reciprocated with a mouth agape; shocked to see herself in such a place. The large standing water, bigger than two hectares of land, sent a cool breeze over her skin. She stepped further into the sand to admire the serene nature of the lake. Again, she doesn't think she would be able to do everything she planned to do to him.

She just wanted to fill her eyes with the view before thinking of anything else.

She suddenly turned and saw him walking towards a small canopy. She hissed but still followed him.

“Why did you bring me here?” She shrieked, staggering behind him. She pulled on her inner strength as her feet kept sinking inside the thick sand.

He didn't look back for a second, stirring up the rage in her. That old urge to take out her anger on him came crawling ou

    She scanned his physique with her eyes running from his foot to his head. His foot was buried in the thick sand. She couldn't see anything else but his long coat that stopped above his toe.She pursed her lips with urgency lurking inside her eyes. She wanted to make a quick estimate of his good look and give her the feedback but all her efforts to see his front view seemed abortive. Raymond was facing the lake while answering the call so she couldn't possibly see him properly.Linda was getting impatient. She desperately needed a compliment from Isa but it wasn't coming forth. At that moment she felt like nothing. If Isabella couldn't find a good compliment on her choices for him, then, she just has to give up on happiness.Linda wants the best for Raymond and Isabella was one of the best things she'd ever wished for him to have. She knew how Raymond had deeply fallen for her but she couldn't see the same measure of love in her eyes.Raymond narrated Isa's life story to her; how she

    “I know you won't complain but I feel the call is really important.” Isa pressed on with a pleading tone.“I don't care if it's important. I feel that what you have to say is more important than the call.” He mumbled, hesitant.“That's why I hung up.” He added. She saw him swallow heavily at the end of his words.Isa was short of words. She realized there was no way out for her. She puffed and cleared her throat. Maybe this was the right time for her to pour out her emotions to him.“Can I ask you something?” She mumbled in her lowest tone. No, she shouldn't ask for his permission before asking him. She could have just taken her anger on him at once.Raymond nodded, his dark blue eyes flickering with a keen interest.“Why did you choose to partner with my husband's company?” Isa's voice echoed with a hint of seriousness. She looked strict with the quiver in her voice. She wanted to know nothing else but the truth.Raymond's next line of words dropped like a bombshell.“I choose to par

    Isa had her eyebrows furrowing in uneasiness. Linda's gaze lingered in scrutiny of what she couldn't fathom but she didn't care anyways. Her concern has only settled for his last words. Right now, all she could think of was the best gift to offer him. She could feel the pit of her stomach churn in anticipation. Her anticipation has skyrocketed her mind to the moon and brought her back without solutions. She desperately needed a suggestion as to the type of gift he would like.She threw a glance at her phone and sighed irritably. She nearly ignored it but recalled that she could look up different gifts on the net. She let Linda wonder in her thoughts while she fiddled with her phone.Her jaw dropped as different flashy gifts popped out of her screen. Colorful and bold pictures of wrist watch boxes, shoe bags, customized wallets, flowers and photo frames. She paused between the photo frames and the wrist watch boxes.They appeared so cool but she didn't see her own shrug coming. It wa

    She was hurrying up with her silent cry as well. She didn't want to get engrossed before he would finally shut the door at her.It took some minutes before her hiccups went into a dead silence. She lifted her head and whispered something to him.“When I was a little girl, I had always had a crush on you. I saw you in my dreams each time I laid my head to sleep. You are the ideal reason I went into the modeling industry.” She said with trembling lips.Isabella gasped again. She quickly placed her palm over her mouth because her shrill had nearly reached them.“I never wanted to become a model. Do you think I like how I am being followed around by cameras and how my fucking private life is being monitored by everyone?”“Do you think I feel happy with how I am living my life? Of course, everyone expects my life to be perfect and I am living up to their expectations.” Amorr clenched her fist by her side, scoffing at the end of her words. Her face remained in twitches of bitterness.“You c

    Isabella's curiosity to figure out what Mrs Rhoda Bennett was cooking up for or against her was choking her up. She seemed determined to do all the things that Linda had ordered her to do but on a second thought, she paused.She had been nodding her head to all that Linda was saying and finally stopped. She peered her eyes straight into Linda's face.She couldn't believe those words were coming from Linda. Where were the guts coming from? Isabella's eyes zeroed into what seemed like disappointment.She was desperate to hear what Mrs Rhoda Bennett was cooking up for her and she was going crazy with thoughts on what Gift to give to Raymond so he could finally tell her everything she needed to know.Of all the solutions, why did it have to be this? She felt disheartened at Linda's opinions. Linda was being inconsiderate with her opinion. Isa knew how much she treasured Raymond and wanted the best for him. Shouldn't she have also thought of Isa's feelings? Linda, very observant, noticed

    “What do you think you are playing with?” Raymond's fierce voice rumbled across her innocent face. She looked up with dimmed eyes, trying to recognize the face but it was hard to see through the darkness.Her heart was panting non stop until he turned on the light switches. It was difficult for her to open her eyes still. She squeezed her eyes closed and pinned her shy face to the floor.Curving his lips up, he smirked with both hands dug inside his jumper pockets. “Why is she hiding her face? She's so childish” Raymond mumbled sarcastically to himself. He let out an exasperated sigh, tired of waiting for her to look up.“What are you doing in my room by this time?” He asked, his voice was cold and stern.“Would you rather choose that I report to your husband's Mom?” He threatened with a fierce voice which had a mixture of mockery.Isabella's eye shot open. Douglas's mom was the least person she ever wanted to encounter ever again after what transpired between them in the kitchen.“W

    She collected the water in a tiny bowl alongside an orange soap and walked back to the mirror.Raymond shaked his head in disbelief. He was still trying to catch her point. For sure, he knew she was doing all that to get him to tell her everything. He was getting annoyed that she was acting that way. What happened to the real Isabella? What happened to the brave and domineering spirit in her?“You are being so childish. Stop it already.” He shrieked with an authoritative tone but she ignored him. She soaked the soap inside the water until it became slippery and foamy in her hands.For some seconds, she thought about his last line of words and nearly burst into a fit of laughter. Seeing herself playing with the mirror all in the name of following Linda's opinion irritated her.She gradually grew weary of caressing the mirror with her foamy hands. She doubted if he was even staring at her.She turned around, his eyes were tightly closed. She bit her lips in agitation. She couldn't beli

    Isa was breathing hard. The warmth of their body contact was skyrocketing her to the moon and bringing her back. She was trapped in his embrace and she prayed that he doesn't set her free.He continued kissing her. He kept drawing in and out, searching every corner of her mouth and sucking the juices that came his way.Bit by bit, she slipped out of his mouth and looked into his face. He was so lost in the sweetness of their kisses not to have noticed that she slipped out.She stared into his pretty yet hungry and demonic eyes. She was inflamed, seeing how he squeezed his eyes open. She wondered to what extent his eyes were closed. She admired everything about him; his demure look and demi-god figure and wished he stopped being emotional at that moment. He should stop being emotional and eat her whole. That's what she was longing for.It was only her who knew exactly what was going on in her head. She could picture herself on his king-sized bed. Only she knew the level of wetness that

It was when she started seeing the lawyer around the house that she figured out that he was up to something.She confronted the lawyer who told her that he was about to give all his properties to Isabella who was his identical daughter.She was shocked as to how he found out that he wasn't the biological father of Evelyn. One fateful day, he bribed the lawyer to produce a document containing all of Mr Bennett's properties. When he asked why, she just chuckled like a witch.“You don't have to worry about how he is going to sign on it. Just do your part and leave the rest for me.” She had assured the lawyer who appeared c

    After scanning his eyes through the contents in the file, he read audibly for everyone to hear it.“I hope you would still want to get a lawyer involved in this case?” He asked Mrs Rhoda Bennett with a smirk.The impression on her face changed all of a sudden. She became speechless as she got a stunning gaze from Douglas.“Please, don't sentence me to death. I promise to turn myself in.” She cried with a loud whimper but the inspector laughed.“I earlier gave you the chance to turn yourself in but you refused to. I will see you in court during the judgment.” He replied and called in some officers who dragged her out after locking her wrists with handcuffs.She took them to the area where she had disposed of the foxglove plants and showed them the pills she used to get him blind.Douglas was shocked. “So your Mom killed her husband? But why?” He shrieked, miserably.Evelyn kept mute, trying so hard not to look into his face.At this point, he was all she had. If her Mom is found guilt

    Douglas and Evelyn rushed to the station once they got the information that their Moms were arrested and being interviewed.By the time the both of them arrived at the station, Mrs Jereni has been locked behind bars and a date has been fixed for court proceedings while Mrs Rhoda Bennett was still kept inside the interview room.She was still claiming innocence and denying her relationship with Mrs Jereni.At a point, the inspector became sick and tired of interrogating her since she wasn't reciprocating to his questions sincerely.The interview room has the same structure of a cell but the difference was clear. A normal metal door, two chairs opposite each other and a desk in the middle.The inspector was sitting opposite Mrs Rhoda Bennett, staring into her face. At the same time, a series of thoughts ran through his mind.This was exactly the same position they both sat a few years ago when they were running an investigation concerning her dead husband.He shot a gaze of hatred at he

    “I can't really tell.” Raymond shrugged and climbed inside the van.The inspector stared into space for some minutes as he pondered on the next steps to take.He collected the huge man's cell phone and began to scroll through the call logs.The last call on his phone's call log was the call he made with the person whom Raymond had said was a woman.The number was bare and saved without a name.As he scrolled further, he figured out that the woman had been steadily getting in touch with the huge man.For some seconds, a sigh of relief escaped through his lips. It looked like he had hit the dead end. He just feels like he has gotten everything he needed to catch the main culprit.Suddenly, he paused as another number popped out. It was beyond his expectation as the number was saved with “Mrs Rhoda Bennett's name.He was shocked as to how Mrs Rhoda Bennett was connected to these men.“This is getting really interesting.” He mumbled and shot a quick glance at Raymond, followed by a nod.A

    Raymond shot a glance at the taxi's speedometer. It was at its highest but the car wasn't running as fast as he had expected.He urged the driver to drive faster as he could sense danger from afar. Not too far away. The nearer the black Honda came, the deeper he could feel the danger.Suddenly, the black honda pulled itself into the same level with the taxi. He saw four men putting on black masks. They were unrecognizable except from the tiny holes around their eyes which permitted them to see through and the tiny hole below their nostrils which allowed the passage of air.At this point, Raymond knew that he was in very big trouble. He could see a long pistol hanging across each man's chest and he saw a burning rage flaming in each of their eyeballs.He thought of nothing else but Isabella. How she was doing, what she might be doing at the moment or what could be going on through her thoughts. He recalled how she pleaded with him not to leave and how she told him it was dangerous outs

    Isabella muttered one last prayer before she shifted the laptop to herself to input the password.Sure, she wouldn't let him see the password because she couldn't trust anybody.She added more energy to hasten whatsoever she was doing. She wasn't sure who the suspect was.It could be the chairman but she hoped it shouldn't be him.On her first try, she unlocked the company's shares. She threw a galbce at the chairman who widened his eyes in shock.“How did you manage to know this?” The chairman suddenly asked in amazement.Isa just made a smirk.“Chairman, you forget things so easily. You must have forgotten that I was the same person that built this company to the top ten. Who do you think created the password to the company's shares?” She asked, making another cold smirk.The chairman took a deep breath and laughed.He couldn't possibly believe what she just said.“How is that possible. I thought Douglas was a smart man. Why didn't he change the password to the company's shares, kno

    As soon as they got inside the upper room, the system operators began to tremble on seeing the police men.The manager had to assure them that they weren't here to get them arrested.“All I need is your cooperation and nothing more.” The inspector mumbled to them to put their hearts at ease.He knew what they were scared of. Of course, they were young, vibrant guys and they might probably be involved in cyber crimes or internet fraud but he wasn't interested in any of that.The only thing he set his mind to do is to dig out who the culprit is.“Replay the clips, starting from this morning.” He said, narrowing his eyes.They turned on the TV that was connected to the cameras at the morgue attendant's room.The inspector watched the TV with every gusto in him. His eyes widened in shock as he saw Isa and Raymond walk inside the office.He maintained his steeze as they watched the TV from the moment the duo walked in to the moment the uniformed able bodied men left the morgue with the mor

    In the middle of their interaction, a call came in from the Federal Government. One of the ladies picked up the call and pressed the loud speaker button for everyone to hear what they had to say to each other.At this point, the case was resting in the hollow palms of the citizens. They were disappointed in the federal government for what happened.The individual who communicated with them wasn't specifically the federal government but an arm and messenger from the federal government.“This message is coming directly from the Federal government. I am here to tell you all that you have falsely been accusing them for what they know nothing about.” The baritone voice began from the other end and paused halfway to catch a breath.An unusual deafening silence drifted in. It was so quiet that if a pin was thrown on the floor, the sound would be heard clearly.“They have heard all your complaints and have decided to find the suspects behind the death of the morgue attendant and the patholog
