Ollie strode down into the underground parking garage looking over his shoulder every now and then. He held his hands down deep into his pockets, obviously protective of what was inside. Since it was past the official time for closing, there were few cars around. Ollie was simply able to find the one he was looking for without much difficulty. He hastened with hurried steps towards the white SUV that stood out amidst the cars parked about, His feet finely clapped on the concrete floor in quick rhythm as he navigated the blue-grey variant painted pillars to cover his appearance from being in view. He was being extremely cautious, and unknowingly suspicious...In the white SUV car, Mark just watched with brimming impatience as Ollie made a fool of himself.' Wouldn't he have gotten in the car already before anyone else would notice him if he just walked up directly? Why is he wasting time, hiding from no one in particular?' Mark thumped a fist at the steering with a creased gaze, feeli
The next day, at 9:48 AM.Margarette strode into a disarrayed showroom of Citadel’s Jewelry company with a deep frown on her face. She humphed a deep sigh and slowly approached the sales assistants who were gathered in an obvious state of panic to ask what was going on. As the CEO’s secretary and acting Chief Operations officer, she had a lot of work on her desk. As if that wasn't enough, she had to get to work as early as the attendants against her will just to meet the sight of them in this state right when the company was opening for business.Although, she valued her mistress' trust in her to put her in such a vital position. With this thought in mind, everything was nothing too herculean for Maggie to handle. Besides, the sumptuous paycheck she received was enough to motivate her to work. However, the occasional attention from the one whom she loved was what mattered the most. She loved how it hurt when she made her do all the work only to shower her with lots and lots of love l
Almost an hour later, Mark walked in small gaits towards Maggie's office with a confident smile worn on his face. He had just resumed work within his daily shift and hadn't even been in his office yet when Kaitlyn approached him to tell him of Maggie's request for him to see her in her office as soon as he got to office. Mark already understood what was going on. He'd noticed the awkwardness in the showroom downstairs and had even deliberately asked Daisy just to be sure. Of course, his thoughts were confirmed. It is exactly as he pictured.As much as they tried to hide it in their actions, everyone in the company already knew about the missing jewelry and were covertly discussing probable suspects. 'Today, is the day I win...' Mark grinned as he turned the door knob and entered into the well-organized office of professional disposition allowing for concentration towards work." Mr Hawkins" Maggie called out as she raised her gaze from the files in her hands which she was prior worki
The ambiance of the conference room was intense and grave. A long mahogany table served as the plateau of discussion, with chairs meant for respective members surrounding the table. Other than this, the room was decorated with glossy ceramic flower vases, and pieces of artwork were hung on the wall to spark a creative and uniquely artistic background style. As more employees who were of relevant responsibilities in the company came into the room and sat around the long table in the middle of the dimly lit room, everyone anticipated in apprehension, what was to come. Although, they already had a notion as to what the emergency was...Maggie walked into the room along with Mark and the chief security officer. Maggie took the seat at the end of the table, while the others took a vacant seat by the table. The room grew silent as everyone awaited the meeting to start.Click! clack!Three others walked in at the same time. " What's the emergency miss Margarette!?" Ashley Dupuis, the produ
Getting to Citadel's, Val rushed into the showroom. She frowned deeply seeing how smoothly organized business was going and contemplated if there was any truth in what Daisy had told her.Val knew not about the Laguna teardrop as she had only been at Citadel's for a few days. However, having been in the showroom plenty of times in the past few days, she noticed something was off.Nonetheless, she walked towards the receptionist whose smile was as bright as usual. It wasn't when she got close, that Val noticed that the corner of Daisy's mouth was slightly wry as she beamed with a smile." Daisy, what's going on? What's the situation?" Val asked, shooting her head forward to ask in a low tone." Miss Val, I have no idea at the moment. You should meet with the other managers and Miss Margarette. Here's your Key card" Daisy responded in a whisper, covering her mouth with a hand. She slid a black key card across her desk to Val.Val furrowed her brows and proceeded towards the elevator with
" So, Ms Valerie?"" I- I know nothing about this Miss Margarette, I swear!" Val stuttered in her defense. She straight straight into Maggie's eyes in desperation for the slightest sign of belief in them. Val even became more honorific towards her.However, the silence all around gave her enough of the answers she needed. No one trusted her. Not even her co-managers who had been her colleague for the past few days. She had no one to confide in, she was all alone against the whole company. Literally!The pressure was tantamount!" I- I..." Val didn't know what to say. Her heart raced both in fear and distress. She never wanted her name to go down this way, never! " Believe me!" She sobbed in one last outcry of desperation. Her knees became weak and she slumped. " It wasn't me..." Val muttered feeling lost. It seemed even more like she was trying to convince herself that it wasn't her fault the way she stared fixedly at a spot. " Honestly, I didn't expect this from her. Miss Margarett
' Screw Mark!' Courtney cursed. The offer being made to her by Maggie was enough to start a new life. She could get herself more of her dream guys like Mark, who weren't as evil as he is. Mark is a total jerk... and screw Val. Kaitlyn didn't really care about her life anyway. She only couldn't pass off this offer. It was now or never! ' Now or never!'" It wasn't her!" Kaitlyn yelled out loud with quivering lips as her heart beat frantically.She stared fixedly at Val, hiding her gaze away from Mark and everyone else. Silence prevailed all around. Kaitlyn tensed when she realized the consequence of her action. She could feel the prying gaze of everyone being directed at her and it was only now that she realized how stupid she was. How was she to back up her words now, she didn't know...She hadn't wanted to meddle at all, but she had already done so. It was only natural that she went through with it now right? But, how? Just how was she to prove her point? Kaitlyn had only spoke
An hour later,Dann Harrows sat facing Val who held her arms around herself in the seemingly cold office room. The day was especially bright for early autumn, and the golden sun was quite at its peak. The clear blue sky could be seen through the glass window of the office. It was a fine sunny day after all. Margarette's well-organized office that had a crispy air and smelled quite like dried roses, was illuminated by the clear sunray. This was as a result of the potpourri placed in the corner.Mahogany glass tables, cabinets and desks took most of the space and there were two sofas between which a low glass table sat, which was where the interrogation now took place." Ms Valerie, I'm Dann Smith... " Dann introduced reaching over the table for a handshake. Val slowly nodded and extended her hand to take the handshake that didn't last two seconds." Miss Margarette here has briefed me on the details of the case at hand, so I'll only be asking a few questions, is that okay with you?"
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. A long, tree-lined driveway stretches out vastly, leading to the magnificent mansion nestled amidst beautifully manicured gardens. The sight of the sprawling estate, with its classy modern architecture and pristine surroundings left Val in awe. The driver rode slowly and rode them closer, allowing Val to catch glimpses of the luxurious features like the grand entrance of the mansion with its ornate columns as well as the elegant fountain in the courtyard. It was truly a breathtaking sight to behold." Marvelous " Val mouthed, having only seen places like this online or in movies." Heh Heh," Bob chuckled at Val's innocence. He was amused at her praise for his place." You can take your time to look around later but first we must talk," Bob said as he stepped out of the car and went around to open the door for Val." How kind and
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!" Bob nodded and hurried out of the hospital, about to go in search of Val.After Doctor Brown had informed him of what he said to Val, Bob could tell what had happened. Val
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
In an intimate collision with Luca... While being humped by him to ecstasy in moans, grunts, and screams of passion, Courtney was able to plunge deep into her darkest whim and acted on her most destructive intent.Fortunately, Luca lived alone so it made things easier for her.Courtney could still vividly remember how the pleasured look on his face had turned awry and horrific when she stabbed a knife at his neck amid the intercourse. His blood gushed and tainted her view, but Courtney hadn't minded. Her heart first trembled and shook in fear but it had become cold and indifferent afterward, though her hands that still stabbed the knife at his neck shook in fear. In a fit of rage, Courtney had pushed him aside and stabbed him severally even long after his eyes had lost the life in them. She did so until she was satisfied, and then broke into a fit of crazed laughter.In nothing but panties and bra that were shifted to the side and revealing her most intimate parts while sitting on L
Courtney could envision her younger self, slightly pale and with unhealthy skin in tattered dress and scars all over her body. She used to be a street crackhead with no home or someone she could call family. She'd lost her parents to a terrible accident when she was only 14, and she had nowhere else to go as her relatives were unknown to her. The orphanage wasn't a place for her to stay so she left for the streets ending up a victim of Madam J. She became her personal play toy, and the Madam who ran a cartel and pimped out young girls, would use her anyway she liked. It was days of hell and nights of pain and torture for Courtney. She could still remember being tied down on a table, with marks of whip lashes all over her body as the cops came in to free her. The relief in her heart when she saw the Madam being arrested and taken away resurfaced in her mind.Not until that faithful day when the police raided the clubhouse and arrested Madam J. Finally being free, Courtney became a
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
After the judge was informed of what had happened, he had no choice but to adjourn the case once again until Courtney's charge was settled. After all, his judgment was determinant upon this.With Courtney being accused of being an accomplice to a murder case that was tied to the divorce trial, he had to put a hold to his judgement until a decision regarding the prior charge was reached.Getting outside the Court, Bob subtly said his thanks and goodbye to the doctor and asked Mae to find a safe place to hide for a while until the case was finally over. He wasn't certain if Courtney wouldn't find her way out of the crime she was alleged of having committed. She had a certain level of influence after all and Bob dared not underestimate this. There was just no telling what Courtney could do. Even Bob had stopped thinking he knew Courtney anymore.Hence, in this case, he could only ask Mae to hide for now just in case Courtney finds her way out and it turns out that he still needed her as
" 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. The more she mentioned attorney Chris the more her heart ached, remembering she still didn't know the situation of things back in Seattle, and whether her nudes had been leaked or not.' Another attorney?' Bob raised an eyebrow in confusion. Why would Val ask him to get another attorney
