Raymond made a hidden smirk. He knew the kind of men they were. Their eyes were lurking for money. Things would have turned out easier if he had dropped bags of money in front of each man. But he chose to fight for the position in a just manner.

Some minutes after his presentation, one of the men stood up, slamming his hands over the table.

“This meeting is over now. We'll meet again tomorrow or next.” His voice was thunderous, having a mixture of rage and authoritation. He seemed like the general amongst the other men.

Raymond squeezed his jaw. His face portrays the beastly side of him. He glared and watched them walking out of the conference room. He felt like running after each man and dealing with them mercilessly.

How could they postpone the meeting with no tangible reason? Oh! They thought he was so cool until he showed them what he was made of.

Perhaps, they thought he had no connections that could help him achieve his goal but on the contrary, he had partnership with high busi

    “Excuse me? What do you mean by that?” Evelyn asked, withdrawing from her embrace. Her eyelids furrowed in confusion. Isa made a hidden smirk. She enjoyed her perplexed expression and nearly scoffed.“I changed because of my accident. That's the reason why I can't remember anything. I can't even say what I like and what I don't like anymore.” Isa mumbled in low whimpers. She noticed a hint of excitement flicker on Evelyn's face.“Please, can you tell me the things I used to like?” Isa asked softly, grabbing Evelyn's wrist. She was beginning to enjoy the conversation.Evelyn was mute. She could only stare at the thigh revealing mini skirt that Isa was wearing. Her heart burned with hatred and jealousy.It baffled her at how Isa was now putting on expensive and seductive dresses but she couldn't open her mouth to utter a single word. She was scared that Isa's memory would come back if she interrogated her.“Why aren't you saying anything?” Isa asked, swaying her hands over Evelyn's face

    Isa woke up the following morning with a severe headache. She couldn't sleep last night as there were several thoughts embedded in her head. She climbed out of the bed and staggered towards the dressing mirror. She twitched her face, seeing her swollen eye bags.“Oh no! How I'm I going to look like a granny going to the company for the first time?” She bared her teeth and bit her lips. Then she began to massage the eye bags with the tip of fingers.After massaging it for minutes, she slowly took off her hands to see the results. She could barely recognize herself this time around as there were now two lumps poking out below her eye bags.She became as confused as ever. What would she do right now? She wasn't sure if the maids knew the cure and could end up mocking her. She tried calling Crystal to cancel that day's activities but her line wasn't available.A long sigh of fatigue escaped through her lips. What if the lump had creeped out as a result of the silly things she did last nig

    Isa scurried towards the bathroom mirror. Looking through it, she couldn't see any more lump under her eye bags. She traced and pressed the lump of skin on her face but couldn't find anything.“What the fuvk!!” She exclaimed, scrutinizing her face. She dimmed her eyelids through the mirror, searching for the traces but nothing popped up. She was amazed at how her face was gleaming in litheness.Is this a dream? She pinched her cheek so hard that it blotched. Maybe this is a dream. she mumbled and peeped through the small hole in the door, hoping that Linda hadn't left.Linda was bending over the edge of her bed, tucking the bedsheets in a smooth form.“Please, stop. I have maids who do take care of these chores.” Isa snarled and ran out from the bathroom. She wasn't in support of this strange woman touching her things.How did she even get inside her room in the first place? Didn't the guards or Douglas see when she entered? To Isa, it would have been better to be left alone than bein

    “So how can I save the company from going into bankruptcy?” Isa asked, lifting her gaze on Crystal's pale face. She tilted her neck in rapt attention to get the full details from Crystal.Crystal puffed in confusion. She almost forgot that Isa couldn't recall anything about the company.An irksome breeze of fatigue stormed across her face. How could she possibly forget everything about this company? How could she forget so much that she was the person that had the deal with the commissioner? Crystal's thoughts sang in her head.A long sigh escaped through her lips before she opened her mouth fully to speak.“You will have to sign the contracts again. The commissioner is already having a change of mind so you have to convince him to get him to sign the contracts.” Crystal said and walked towards the table freezer.Isa's narrowed eyes followed her as she opened the freezer and collected a bottle of water. Isa wasn't interested in her words. She steadied her gaze at crystal like she was

    He kept mute at her words. He just stood in the same position, mesmerized by her grinning face. He knew when she was serious or teasing him. He looked down at her hands intertwined with her pink scarf and curved up his lips into a smirk.He noticed the way she pinned her gaze down to the floor. He was enjoying the scene and even threw his head backwards in suppressed laughter.He smacked his lips and said, “Let's get going. We'll get to the car within five seconds. I don't want you to think I'm going to kidnap you.”Isa smiled childishly at his words and followed him. She adored his steps; hefty and nimble steps that made him appear gracious and calm with his two hands digging into his pants trousers.He halted beside a E 350 4matic sedan car, blue in color and pulled the door handle open.Isa climbed into the car through the other end. At first sight, she nearly screamed in joy. This was exactly the second wish on her wish list.She wanted to ask him how he knew but held back from as

    Isa woke up, rubbing her palm against her tuckered eyes. She yawned, looking around her. She paused on noticing that she was no longer seated on the driver's seat.What is she doing in the passenger's seat? Her eyebrows flapped sideways and casted her gaze on Raymond. She nearly sprang up to her feet. She scrutinized her body, checking whether her button holes were loose or tight.“What I'm I doing here?” She asked, scanning through her brain for information. She recalled how she was earlier sitting at the driver's seat before he drifted to sleep over her legs.“You fell asleep.” He responded softly. “How?” She mumbled back with urgency in her tone. Everything seemed so strange to her. He fell asleep on her legs and now she woke up on his lap in the passenger's seat.Confusion waded inside her eyes. She needed an answer.“I woke up and found you asleep. Your neck was bent against the window.” He paused and stared into her face.“I knew you were in pain or did I do something wrong by

    Isa curled herself up in the car trunk with eyes tied with her pink scarf. She let her mind travel far away as she felt his scent peering through her. She squeezed her eyelids inside the tie, her heart raced causing the hairs on her skin to stand up. She was still trying to catch a glimpse of what the outside seemed like before she felt his soft mouth over her lips followed by a whisper.When he mumbled, “This is just the beginning” in her ear, her sex tightened between her legs.Raymond stared at her innocent face and felt sorry for her. He didn't mean to hurt her. He only wanted to teach her how to play dirty games like her husband.He stretched out his hand and slowly untied the scarf from her eyes. It took a few minutes before her eyes were able to open fully. Lines from the scarf still lingered round her eyes as she rubbed her eyes in pain.She bit her lips as she caught his shadow hovering opposite her. She saw the hairs on his chest stand up alongside his reddened nipple. How

    The pit of Isa's stomach rumbled with butterflies. She couldn't understand how she was feeling any longer. A voice kept ringing in her head to learn.“Learn what?” She mumbled to herself, opening her long closed eyes to study his mouth in action. She bit her lips as he left it and started planting kisses on the nape of her neck.She was panting breathlessly. She wanted to use this chance and take in cool air into her lungs before he came back to swallow her whole.“Have you ever been kissed like this?” He whispered, leaning towards her and placing his lips on her mouth. You need to see how she widened her eyes. He asked a question yet didn't give her the chance to answer it. He took her lips unaware and sucked it slowly, not quickly. He wanted to take it easy with her so she could learn faster.Isa was going to tell him that she hasn't been kissed that way in her life. Douglas did nothing on their wedding night. In fact, she is completely a virgin because he was the first man that eve

    How would she make this lady understand that she is on the run? And that she can't trust anyone at the moment.“Hey, pretty…don't act like you don't like what I'm offering you.” The lady said sarcastically, tugging at Isabella's blouse.Isa became alert and looked up at the lady. Why did she tug at her in that manner? Is it mandatory to accept her nasty offers?Something about her made her feel so uncomfortable. She threw a gaze towards Raymond but he was still focused on filling the form.The moment he lifted his head and saw the lady on the black blazers, he screamed Isabella's name.“Run.” He shouted with the top of his voice, looking through a crowd that suddenly appeared from nowhere.Perhaps, it was time to board the plane.Isabella sprang up from the bench and began to run, forcing herself through the crowd.She was panting like never before. There was nothing else on her mind other than to get hold of Raymond's hands.She managed to tilt her neck backwards as she caught a gli

    He suddenly pulled the car to the side of the road. Everything seemed like a dream to him. It's barely ten minutes since they drove out of the morgue and barely fifteen minutes since those uniformed men took the pathologist and the morgue attendant away.How possible could it be that they were both found dead? Actually the Airlines news station doesn't give fake information.“The pathologist and the morgue attendant are both dead?” Isa asked, perplexed.“How could that be possible?” He replied with scrutiny on his face.A while ago, three uniformed men who claimed to come from the Federal Government came and cuffed them out of the morgue.According to the news, their death didn't result from any form of car accident.Which only means one thing. Those men were sent to kill the pathologist and the morgue attendant.But why? Raymond shaked his head vehemently as a series of thoughts stormed into his head.If those men truly came from the Federal Government, they would kill only the path

    She had a grimace on her face as her eyes scanned through it.“Let me take a look.” Raymond said and she gave it to him. His lips parted in shock and disappointment.He shot a hostile glance at the pathologist and felt like strangling him.“You had the original results in your briefcase, why then did you choose to tell us lies?” Raymond shrieked at him.“I am sorry.” Mr Fabian pleaded with a sober voice.“There's nothing to be sorry about. I know quite well that this is the same reason why the Government is desperately searching for you.” “You go about, giving people fake or forged results. How do you feel after doing it?” Raymond's tenor voice sent cold shivers across Mr Fabian's body.“Do you even think of the damage or pain you bring to those people?” “You hide the truth from those that desperately need it.” He said, his veins all popped out around his neck. He felt a little bit of exhaustion. His last words emerged out with a faint tone.“Who paid you to do this?” Raymond asked

    At this point, Raymond couldn't ask for anything more. Their goal was to run an autopsy and walk out with the results, not to make a poor innocent man lose his job.They watched him as he went inside the frizzy room to speak to the anatomist on the phone. Raymond had no choice than to let him do his own part of the deal.“He will be here in at least twenty minutes.” He whispered to them as he walked out of the room.“So we could quickly go out and grab a drink, right?” Raymond requested, cutting an eye for Isabella.“Yes, you can go.” He replied with relief. Raymond seems to give him a hard time.While they were away, he wished they could disappear and never come back. To him, Isa wasn't the problem but Raymond was the problem he had.Minutes later, they both walked back inside the office energetically. Isa was holding two cups of the creamy juice.“You can have this too. You are a good man.” She said and handed a cup to the morgue attendant.He collected the creamy juice with a grin

    Raymond couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't stand eavesdropping on the morgue attendant. He heard everything the latter said to Mrs Rhoda Bennett.He angrily pushed the door open and walked towards the man, stopping some inches away from him.Isabella didn't feel his absence. She was petrified the moment she saw her father's cold body. “Are you trying to sell us?” Raymond started, noticing the man's trembling lips.“What I'm I even saying? You were actually selling us, huh?” Raymond said and saw the man trying to hide his phone behind him but he grabbed the phone from him and went directly to the last call made.His jaw dropped in shock. He had actually assumed that the man was speaking with Mrs Rhoda Bennett but it was only an assumption until now.“So you are her accomplice?” “That's why you persisted on seeing his bio before letting us get access to him?” Raymond asked bitterly.“How much were you even paid?” He asked rhetorically and punched his fist in the air.“You know wha

    Isabella and Raymond both narrowed their eyes in confusion. They got their mind wandering like wildfire. There's a lot of dots that need to be connected. For goodness sake, Mrs Rhoda Bennett earlier told the Corp that she went for an urgent business meeting.Since it was urgent, what time did she get to still register Mr Bennett's body to the morgue?Talking of how she walked inside the mansion; like she heard the news on reaching the gate.She even passed out in front of everyone.It could be that she heard the news during the meeting and went straight to the morgue from there.Or what is this whole thing all about? The witch is so smart that nobody has ever caught her in all her acts.“Please sir, what time was Mr Bennett registered yesterday?” Isa asked, curiously.“Ma'am, I'm afraid but I can't tell you anything more until you provide the original copy of the bio used to register him here.” The man replied and pinched his brows.Isa cast a tiresome glance at Raymond.“I can't be

    On the express road to the city, Raymond had to ask for directions to the hospital where the ambulance came from.He couldn't bear seeing the look on Isabella's face anymore. She looked so pathetic, embracing the brown envelope like it meant the whole world to her.“Isa, I don't like what you are doing right now.” He mumbled and pressed the deceleration button. “What I'm I doing?” She mumbled, trying hard not to look up at his face.“If you are confident that you did nothing wrong, why then are you avoiding looking up?” He asked, keeping his gaze glued at her.Isa kept mute. She couldn't feel the breeze from the high speed of the car. She imagined that something had gone wrong and finally looked up to check for herself.“Just the traffic.” He responded before her eyes met with his.At that moment, she swallowed a lump. She felt wet tears gathering in her eyes. She must have been deeply in tears that's why she didn't notice it on time and now, Raymond's gaze.She just wished that he d

    She stubbornly struggled with him. Corp Bellick's rage heightened instantly. He forcefully locked her wrists inside the cuffs and escorted her to the Hilux.He didn't care anymore. She must have thought that this case would turn out like the numerous cases where they got a special order from the general not to meddle into Bennett's family affairs.Not anymore. Not when Mr Bennett died a cold death. He knew the general and of how much he hated Mrs Rhoda Bennett.Perhaps, he would use this opportunity to reopen her formal cases; the cases that were buried due to Mr Bennett's influence.Mrs Rhoda Bennett turned around and her last gaze fell on Isabella.Isa bit her lips. She could feel the pit of her stomach churned in excitement. This is exactly how she would punish each and everyone of them.She knew that in no time, she would be granted bail. She assumed she would use Mr Bennett's burial as a key excuse.She didn't care, she just wanted to do what she always wanted to do.“An autopsy.

    “But you know what, I aren't acting any drama this time around. I'm doing this for the safety of my health.” Mrs Rhoda Bennett mumbled and snapped her fingers.Isa ran her eyes over the latter's body in scrutiny.No matter what she said, she wasn't ever going to take in her words.She felt this was the only opportunity for her to pay her last respect to her father.That last picture of him couldn't leave her memory. She continued replaying his soothing voice in her head. She wouldn't have believed it if someone had told her that it would be the last time she would get to see or speak to her father.At this point, she felt like giving up on everything; her revenge plans. She felt like backing off and running away to a far away land.Because for some minutes, she wondered what would be her yield if she eventually won the battle.Would she be the only person to celebrate her victory?
