At noon, two police cars parked before Citadel's with their sirens blaring in a loud echo. The jewelry company underwent public notice as a small crowd grew around to watch, both inside and outside tg building. Most of the employees ceased their work to follow through as well.

Mark's face was sour and lingered with disbelief as he was escorted out of Citadel's by the police, along with his company and accomplices.

Mr Porter showcased fear and embarrassment while Ollie was apprehensive and furious at Mark. The third person, who seemed to be an office janitor, only lowered his head; It was unsure what he was thinking.

After the footage was seen by the detective and every person alike, it was determined that the janitor had planted the Laguna teardrop in Val's office, and that Kaitlyn was right. However, Mark still denied knowing anything, and so did Mr porter.

Harry Caister said he knew this would happen, and thus he had saved his true evidence for last. He played another footage where

    In Val's office,The dim lighting that shone in from the outside through the glass window as it approached dusk contrasted the mood. Files and papers were still scattered about everywhere, showing signs of the office having been ransacked during the previous search. Val couldn't care any less to have the office tidied. At the moment, she was exhausted. The fear still lingered in her heart as that situation where Mark almost got her in trouble could very well jeopardize her future plans. It was as though people were still in the office as from earlier, and were now staring at her with accusatory gazes. Val couldn't help but wonder if she hadn't made a mistake trying to help Bob, her whole life had taken a strange turn ever since she met him.Val put her hand away from her head which she prior held, and reached to grab her mobile phone to dial Bob's number. It rang through several times but all was to no avail. She tried again and again and again with a dreary expression worn on her f

    Keyboards clicked incessantly and murmurs persisted at a slow rhythm in the office workspace of the marketing department. Val stood by Kaitlyn's office space, uncertain of how to express her gratitude. Thinking about it now, she had never really spoken to Kaitlyn.Not that Val had anything against Mark's lover whom he cheated on her with. She only used to see her as a lesser scum than Mark. Val had thought so because she believed Kaitlyn knew that Mark was married and had continued into a relationship with him. Val didn't want to judge her, but she had felt she and Mark were probably alike before. But now, there's a shift in Val's thoughts about Kaitlyn.She wasn't any wrong after all. Kaitlyn had indeed gotten entangled with Mark knowing she was married. It was obvious from the dreary look on her face that Kaitlyn wasn't in the right state of mind. Val subconsciously softened her gaze at the sight of Kaitlyn being like this." I-..." Val was speechless. Again, she had never shared

    Maggie's office was silent for a moment," Mistress, I was just about calling to inform you of this" Maggie started to speak a while after having thought of what to say. She was excited to relay her success but was met with silence from Courtney, which Maggie knew meant for her to continue with what she was saying... " Mark had tried to frame Val like I've instigated him to do. He stole the Laguna teardrop with the help of Ollie and convinced Mr Porter to erase the footage of this. Then he had a janitor plant it in Val's office..." I used the opportunity to put effect to that plan of ours to get him laid off, as well as those corrupt employees in one clean swipe..." Maggie paused awaiting approval. However, realizing she wasn't getting any, she continued," I figured it'd be better we do so with valuable reason given. So I followed through with the protocols, while tasking Harry Caister, the assistant chief security, to find clues and retrieve footage to prove Mark and his company gu

    When Val got home, she slammed the door to her apartment behind her. She casually threw her bag on the sofa and went straight upstairs to fall in bed.Slump!She stared at the ceiling quite without a concise thought as the scene of what had happened at work earlier jumbled over and over again in her mind. She just couldn't stop her heart from pounding uncontrollably as she experienced everything all over again in her mind. It was a fresh memory that scarred her for life, and only time could heal the wound.Despite the fact that she had been vindicated from trouble thanks to Kaitlyn's intervention and Harry Caister's dedication to his work. Val still experienced a sense of trepidation nonetheless.Quite contrarily, she didn't even hate Mark for what he'd done or tried to do in this case. Mark had become a total stranger to her now, and she saw him as nothing but a lowly bum who only got what he deserved. Nothing less, nothing more! She couldn't care any less...Val didn't hold a grudge

    The next day, Val woke up early in the morning only to stare at the white ceiling. The twilight at dawn still left the world.in darkness, and if it weren't for the artificial lightings that illuminated the room, one would believe it wasn't morning yet.Val didn't remember the dreams she had, but the worry in her heart spoke well enough of it. She still wasn't over what had happened at work from the previous day. She seemed at a loss as she jumbled in her mind without anchoring on a certain thought.It wasn't after it was like thirty minutes later that she finally thought to go clean her face and freshen up herself. She couldn't stay emotional about the incident forever, she needed to get her mind off of it someway or the other. That too when she let out a sigh earlier, her breath was kind of foul. Of course, she had drunk herself to sleep last night, and its stench still permeated the room. A bittersweet stench Val would say...Once she came back from the washroom, she remembered sh

    Two days later, it was a natural Saturday. The sun hid behind the clouds and the air in the city was stuffy.Val stood in front of the same hotel room that she'd met with Attorney Chris in just a few days ago.Knock! knock!Val gently knocked on the door. She pursed her lips being anxious as to being in attorney Chris' apartment again. When she saw his message to meet at his place just as last time, Val wanted to refuse. However, she thought it'd sound awkward for her to decline such. It could give off a hint that she was doubting attorney Chris' professionalism and had begin to see him as a pervert. Besides, the matter they were to talk about wasn't something they could discuss in public. Who knew what Courtney could do?Thus, Val agreed to the idea to meet at his place once again. But this time, she made it an objective to be especially careful around the attorney.Val looked to the side and was enthralled by the sight of the grandeur corridor.

    In attorney Chris' apartment, Val stared at the fireplace that wasn't lit in thought. After the attorney had related Bob's predicament and his current state to her, Val understood why she had to face the accusation of having stolen the missing Laguna teardrop alone without the support and protection she'd been promised.Bob was in police custody and attorney Chris had left San Francisco to aid him. Even if those whom they've appointed to keep watch on her and ensure her safety had witnessed the incident, how were they to report to Bob, or attorney Chris? Both were in no state to receive a report nor do anything to help her out the situation.Besides, those whom Bob appointed to keep watch on Val had to do so discreetly and not openly involve themselves. How were they to come out and defend her? In any case, they couldn't pull the resources to vindicate Val, only Bob and attorney Chris could. And they both were caught up in another situation of grave consequence.' What now?' Val real

    As the car approached the grand entrance of the mansion, Val noticed the impressive wrought-iron gates slowly opening, welcoming them inside in a warm usher.

The sight of the sprawling estate, with its classy modern architecture and pristine surroundings left Val in awe.

    Bob was baffled as to why she would leave all of a sudden. Could it be that she realized he knew her secret and was too embarrassed to face him?" Did you tell her anything after I left Doctor Brown?" Bob asked still frowning, he didn't like the sound of this at all." Not much. She'd asked of you first when she came to, and I told her you left. And yeah, I gave her the credit card you asked me to hand her" The doctor recounted briefly with a confused face, he still didn't understand why that has anything to do with the problem at hand.Bob's eyes widened as he realized the problem from the doctor's story. " Which way did you see her go?" Bob asked alarmingly looking at every personnel present. " I- I saw her go down the road that way just now" The receptionist who was receiving most of the blame pointed." Okay!"

    Three days had passed since Val had woken up in the hospital, and Val was still lying on the bed in her light green hospital gown. It was just past 11 in the morning, close to noon, and she was staring at the ceiling with a pensive look on her face as her thoughts clouded her mind.Despite having been in the hospital for a few days, Val had not been able to sleep well. The pain and trauma she had experienced were still fresh in her mind, and she couldn't seem to shake them off.She couldn't stop thinking about Bob's sudden disappearance. Even though she didn't expect anything from him, she wished he had stayed to listen to her. Val had asked the doctor when she would be discharged and was told it would be today. She impatiently checked the clock again, eager to leave the hospital. Her body, which had previously been weak, had now regained enough strength to move around freely.Her thoughts roamed to the other matter that she hadn't been able to get off of her mind recently after havin

    Mark laid atop Maggie on the bed with a pallid expression worn on his face. He heaved and hoed incessantly as though he'd just climbed a mountain. Of course, what he climbed was more than a mountain. Both Mark and Maggie breathed haggardly and heavily after having rolled in the hay. They had both just indulged in a very intimate relation that could only be described as passionate yet full of pent up frustration and lust. Maggie, who was half naked in only her cum-stained undies shifted and hanging in places other than that which they were supposed to be covering, had her head kicked back and her eyes rolled back in ecstasy. She spasmed in place at intervals as her body squirmed in collision with Mark's rigid and firm figure uncontrollably.Even after the passionate session they'd both just had, Maggie's body was still full of lust and wished that it never ended. However, Maggie had reached her limit. The pleasure was too much to bare for her and her whole body had become sore and nu

    Getting to the hotel room that he'd reserved, Mark ushered Maggie in and made certain that she settled in comfortably first.The room felt like a cozy sanctuary away from the cold and damp air outside. It was spacious with a comfortable king-sized bed adorned with fluffy pillows and crisp sheets taking up most of the space. The walls and interior decor were of stylish modern design which were of tasteful and soothing color. Behind the furled curtain was a glass window that offered a stunning view of the city below. It seemed a perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy a peaceful stay." I'll get the attendants to bring us something. In the meantime, make yourself comfortable" He said and moved to the desk in the corner where a landline was to call for the attendant's service.Maggie nodded her head and just lowered her head in thought. The hotel room was nice but it wasn't above Maggie's taste. She was used to luxury and class. Soon Mark returned to her side and asked again." You ok

    " W-what happened? Why? Why is he arrested?" Bob asked hurriedly. The concern and worry in his expression couldn't be hidden. He was a bit unsure if this was not another of Courtney's provocation. There was no telling what that evil vermin could do." Long story" Val answered with a sense of melancholy and a lowered head. She wasn't in the right state to talk about what had happened at the moment." But look! you need to find an attorney or something. Or! Or! we could convince the judge that attorney Chris was arrested in the last minute before the trial and have him adjourn the case again till you find another attorney to represent you. You have to do something quick!" Val rambled in a state of panic.
