Behind the wheel was Wesley, his usually composed face now etched with a mix of coldness and anger. The lines on his forehead deepened, and even his grip on the steering wheel tightened, his knuckles turning white as if trying to control the storm of emotions swirling within him.

The road stretched out before him, winding through the city. Buildings and streetlights blurred past in a haze, mirroring the anger in Wesley's mind. The hum of the engine provided a constant soundtrack to his racing thoughts, the rhythmic vibrations punctuating his inner turmoil.

As he navigated the streets, his gaze remained fixed straight ahead, unyielding. His piercing eyes, usually sharp and focused, now held a glimmer of anger, a flicker of frustration.

He felt his ego hurt and trampled on. He felt humiliated to the core

'How dare she?!'

'That flimsy godforsaken actress, what does she really think she is?? That nothing!'

'She would so see it from me!!'

Every passing car seemed to mirror his inner unrest

    Four black vehicles tore through the roads towards the outskirts of South Yarra, as they followed the coordinates that had emitted that faint signal they had been tracking.It was way past noon already and in less than two hours the sun would start setting, but even at that, the urgency in the air was so glaring.The hum of the engines and the blurring lights outside created a cryptic atmosphere. The team had a mission that they have to carry out swiftly, based on their boss Wesley Maxwell's command.This team is the Croxxed X.Arriving at the outskirts of South Yarra, the location they had got from the signal, they found themselves in a vast forest, its shadows stretching out before them. Towering trees stood like sentinels.Under the still bright sky, the Croxxed X team swiftly parked their vehicles at the edge of the dense forest. Towering trees loomed over them."Do not attack till we have Sarah out of their hands. Except I say otherwise," the team leader's voice crackled authorit

  • Friendly Enemies   Chapter 58: The call

    "I'm waiting for you to state the purpose of this call," Wesley stated coldly and rudely and Daisy was slightly taken aback.She wasn't expecting such a reaction from him, neither was she expecting him to still be that mad. Yeah, she really did mess up but then, is he still supposed to be this upset?Daisy would be discharged from the hospital in a few days and she would be out to face the outside world once again. Even though things were cleared now, she still have to find out some things and get things right and straight to prevent what had happened to her from happening to her again.Now she wanted to find out and cut off whoever this person is.On the other end, right in his home office, Wesley tapped his long slender fingers impatiently on the table, waiting for her to just spill out whatever she had called to spill. He really still felt upset but the truth is, deep down, he felt glad she called.'Okay I think I'm the one who is going insane now,' Wesley sighed inwardly.Daisy ha

    In the ward, Daisy stared into empty space pondering on all Wesley had told her over the phone.She wondered why he did not want her to tell anyone about anything if they were going to work together. But after giving it much thought, she concluded he has his reasons for saying that.Not like she trusted him now, but then, she really wanted to see things for herself now and not wait for others to do things for her.She did not have total trust in him. He could be up to anything, who knows but regardless, she would meet with him and find out what exactly.As for her friends, she decided she won't tell them a thing. Not cause she did not trust them but cause she felt it was high time she tries things on her own and besides, she had disturbed them enough.While sitting up with her phone in hand, she stared at the blank screen with a series of thoughts running through her mind.Just then, she heard footsteps approaching and Daisy raised up her head to see Edward walking towards her.

    After the call, Wesley sat still with his deep gaze staring at nothing in particular. He was contemplating sending a text message to Daisy asking for Rose's house address. The one Rose had taken her to that morning after that night's incident.He did not really trust Daisy not to tell her friends about them. And even if she really would keep to her word, if he sends a text, her friends could easily get a clue of them working together if they check her phone.He would not want to alert the enemy's camp in any way after all.'I'll just ask her about all those when we meet,' Wesley sighed after giving it much thought.Picking back up his phone, he was about to give her a call but stopped himself again.'Come on Wesley. You can just send a text tomorrow. For real do I really want to meet her this bad?'Wesley felt really displeased with how he was behaving.'I don't like her and should never even like her,' he thought.'First, she's not my type. Next, she has a boyfriend and why would I e

    Just by the side, the bathroom door opened and Violet walked out carrying a small bluish-purple fancy-like polythene bag. She had just spent long minutes doing her skincare routine in the bathroom.Stepping out fully dressed and seeing Daisy awake, she smiled widely."You woke up quite early today Barbie."Violet then walked over to a drawer and dropped the bag which contained her numerous skincare products.Daisy was sitting up on the bed staring at her phone. She had not even said anything to reply to Violet's greeting, nor had she reacted like she normally do whenever Violet decides to call her Barbie.Violet walked closer to Daisy. "Good morning sis," she greeted standing in front of Daisy who was sitting up on the bed.She looked down at her sister and could not help but frown at how serious she was at whatever she was looking at on her phone."I'm sorry babe," Daisy muttered and finally raised her head from her phone. "I was just..." Then she trailed off looking back at her phon

    Violet sprang up from the bed with shock written all over her face."No that's not possible Daisy," she then said and chuckled.Daisy stared at her sister. Not knowing what to say she sighed."Wait seriously, you're not being serious right now, are you?" Violet was clearly flustered and astonished.She was finding it difficult to believe what her sister had said."I mean you're actually saying the man you had an accident with that night is Wesley Maxwell? Australia's Wesley Maxwell? I mean not just Australia but the world's mysterious Wesley Maxwell?""You're raising your voice, Violet," Daisy panicked.Violet had become so shocked she did not know she was raising her voice so she gasped."Oh I'm so sorry," then she immediately lowered back herself to sit beside Daisy."How did it even happen? I know that shit was a setup but how? I mean... With Wesley???"Daisy sighed.She wanted to explain some things to her that she had met this said Wesley, and they are planning to work together i

    "Whaaaaaaaaat?!"The atmosphere in the washroom had turned tense and suffocating.Edward's heart pounded in his chest, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead. Cindy's face had turned ghastly pale, her eyes widening in fear and shock.Edward tried to find the right words to explain the situation, but his voice faltered as he looked at the shocked expression on the face of the sudden intruder."It's not what you think," he managed to choke out. "I swear it's not what it seems."Ellen stood there looking as shocked as ever. She had wanted to use a washroom before returning to Daisy's ward only for her to see this."I thought you are Daisy's boyfriend," she looked at Edward. Then she turned to Cindy, "...and you are Daisy's best friend."Ellen was so shocked."Wait Daisy is even right there in the ward on a hospital bed but you're..." she was in so much disbelief.Edward could feel the earth cracking. He tried to go forward to meet her."Honestly, you just have to listen to me and beli

    It was a bright day and even though it was still morning, the whole of South Yarra had a bright glow from the sun.But this particular underground basement was dimly lit as it always is.The Lady of the Coasters and Richard stood side by side, their eyes fixed on a large screen displaying a video from the hidden cameras at the cabin.Her lips curled into a sinister smirk as she watched Wesley's men scouring the area in search of Sarah."They're getting closer," Richard commented lowly and the Lady turned to give him a look."Getting closer to what?" She asked."Getting close to finding us out. Finding who you really are," he replied."Turns out they are quite smart," he added.The Lady instead scoffed and shook her head."Let them come," she stated.

    Edward went on pumping in and out of her mouth roughly deep-throating her, his hand gripping tightly unto her hair like he would pull out her hair from her scalp. But Cindy seemed to be enjoying sucking him more than the pain she was feeling in her scalp.What's more, Edward seemed to be driven by so much lust that it was beginning to mix with his anger and frustration.Edward suddenly stopped, then bending slightly, he pulled down her gown exposing her fair fine boobs in her sexy lingerie. He wasted no time in taking them off so he could finally stare at them.Her nipples were pink, hard and pointy causing Edward to groan. So, he lowered himself till he was kneeling in front of her too, and then he stared down at her boobs.His hands went up to her chest before he cupped them, grabbing them and using his thumb to trace her nipples."Your nipples get to me all the time. They're sexy and on point," Edward muttered huskily

    After giving out that order, Wesley sat relaxed in his seat while he scrolled through Cindy's profile on his phone. But he was soon bored out and even the look on his phone showed he wasn't interested in what he was checking at all.It definitely would have been a different case if it was Daisy's."She loves clubbing, night outs...," Wesley was reading but then he skimped through a few lines."When she was young, she went to..."Still, he scoffed irritably.'I'm not reading this.'All he wanted to know was if she ever had any interest in agricultural-related stuff.The Croxxed X member of earlier had said she doesn't, but he still needs to see if she had some tell signs of interest maybe when she was younger.'Do I have to check this myself?'Following that, Wesley looked up towards Andrew's direction."I'm forwarding a mail to you Andrew. You will help check out Cindy's p

    The office had soon become a chamber of stillness and for the time being, it seemed as if both Wesley and Andrew were lost in their thoughts.Yeah, that actually was it as the Croxxed X team who had come in to report had left. Now the weight of the new information they had just learned beared down.Wesley's hand reached for his phone on the table before him and his slender fingers wrapped around it to pick it up. He wanted to check and probably delve into the depths of the email the Croxxed X team had sent regarding Cindy Auston.Not like he is in any way interested in any aspect of her life, but he needs to learn a few things during this investigation in which his main aim aside from rescuing Sarah and dealing with the prime minister is helping out Daisy Louis; the woman who had unknowingly caught his attention and even he is still in denial of.After all, he isn't one to first be interested in a woman.Now Daisy is also part of why

    The three left the restaurant back to Finn's media since Daisy had to get her car from where she parked it.After bidding Cindy goodbye, Ellen drove Daisy out of the place and back to the hospital. Even on their way back, Daisy was beginning to feel moody.'Going back to that ward again just feels like something I don't want to ever do again in my life. Can't wait to be discharged,' she sighed.She will be discharged soon anyway.Back at Finn's Media, after greeting a few staff and co-actors, Cindy left the place to take a drive around town. She needed to think, and then clear her head.With her hands on her steering wheel, she articulately maneuvered her vehicle through the roads and streets."If I'm going to gain the favour of the Lady from the Coasters, then I'll have to stop being bitchy towards Ellen. Ellen seems to be of greater importance as it is right now," Cindy muttered, talking to herself

    "Is Ellen there with you?"Is Ellen there with you? Is Ellen there with you?'''Those words kept ringing repeatedly in her head as if her head had suddenly hit a nut.'Wait what?!''What Ellen?'"Ma'am? You said what?" Cindy was slightly in a daze."I asked if Ellen is there with, Daisy Louis' exclusive nurse," the woman's eerie voice stated through the phone. She even sounded a bit upset. Like, 'How am I using such a dumb person as this...?'Now, Cindy's eyes were wide open she almost forgot where she was, but in the meantime, she quickly walked over to the side of the restaurant."Ye... ye... yes... yes!" Cindy answered, visibly shocked to her bones."She's from me," the lady began and this time, Cindy's eyes were as wide as soccers."I wasn't going to tell you initially but you guys would have to work together, and I don't want you displaying your sick and foolish attitudes. So yes, Ellen is from me."Cindy huffed. She almost seemed disorientated.Now she had so many questions to a

    "What?" Cindy eyed her."Oh I said you do what I want," Ellen smiled.Cindy was at a loss for what to say. First, since she has not actually been at the hospital to visit Daisy, she does not know Ellen. However, along their way here, Daisy introduced Ellen to Cindy as her exclusive nurse and new friend."I'll do what you say?" Cindy scoffed. "Like you're what?""Like I'm someone who knows a little secret you definitely don't want Daisy to know about," Ellen replied feeling smug."First, tell me what evidence you have about the incident. A video?" Cindy scoffed irritably."Daisy and I have been best friends for more than three years now. And you think you can come from nowhere to spill a bunch of trash to her and she will just believe you?""Babe, you've got no evidence to back up your claim!" Cindy laughed while Ellen just stared on with a smirk."All I have to do is tell her you are lying. Babe, she would effortlessly believe you just want to ruin our friendship and relationship. Who

    Cindy was suddenly drenched in fear as she stood there her gaze fixated on Daisy, with Ellen standing beside herShockingly, Daisy only waved at her smilingly brightly, followed by Ellen."Whaaaatt?"Cindy felt her eyes widen. Director Carlson had got to her and he had a worried and concerned expression."What's going on Cindy? Are you okay?" He asked seeing the tense look and expression on her face.With a shiver, Cindy suddenly got back herself so she took back at director Carlson and forced out a smile."Ha yes. I'm so sorry. Let's get back to the shoot," she stated. And despite how she was trying to regain her composure, she still had a panicked expression.What's more, she kept on glancing in Daisy's direction from time to time.Noticing this, director Carlson followed her gaze and his eyes rested on the vehicle a distance away.He was especially

    Just outside of Finn's media where they usually shoot their commercial adverts was the commercial set bustling with a hive of activity. The place was filled with crew members diligently preparing for the shoot.Colorful props, chic furniture, and a beautifully arranged array of flowers created a captivating partway, and carefully placed decorations created an inviting and visually stunning backdrop.Soft lights illuminated the set. Then there was director Carlson huddling with the crew, going over last-minute details and ensuring that every aspect was perfect.Among the crew members and a part of Finn's media staff videographers and staff from Dior, a perfume brand in Australia.Cindy Auston would be shooting a perfume commercial for this brand.Cindy was standing tall and confident, coupled with the fact that she looked really beautiful and sexy, like a freshly scented flower.Even Dior's manager st
