"What? Why? Lisa just resumed work yesterday, and the next thing you are leaving the country already. What happened to 'I'll always be there for you'? Are you planning to be there for me while you're in another country?" Adrienne's voice was accusatory, her emotions getting the better of her. "Here she goes again. Dramatic. You're supposed to ask why I am leaving the country first. It's not like it's something I planned in advance," Daniel defended, a tinge of frustration edging into his voice. "Well, why are you leaving the country?" Adrienne crossed her arms defensively, her expression guarded. "It's Juliette. She went to Dubai last week. We were in contact with each other for two days after she arrived, but for five days now, I haven't been able to reach her," Daniel explained, genuine concern etched across his face. "Oh my god. I hope she's okay," Adrienne uttered, her accusation melting away in the face of genuine worry. "Now that's the Adrienne I like. The caring one, not th

"Uh... Adrienne, what are... what are you doing here?" he stammered, feeling a mix of surprise and panic. Adrienne hesitated when she noticed Anabelle standing beside Ryan. A sharp pain pierced her chest, though she couldn't understand why she felt that way. "I forgot my phone. I came to get it, it should be in the kitchen." "Nah, it's here with me. I was actually planning to swing by your office and drop it off," Ryan replied. Adrienne's smile faltered, an awkward expression taking its place. She tried to mask her disappointment. "Hi," Adrienne greeted Anabelle, her curiosity piqued, and she couldn't help but wonder who she was. Anabelle wanted to talk, but Ryan swiftly interrupted, his voice becoming stern. "Keep quiet. She didn't ask you anything." Adrienne felt a pang of frustration rise within her at Ryan's dismissive tone. She wanted to know who that woman was, but she couldn't risk appearing suspicious. "Let's go, dear," Ryan said cordially to Adrienne, trying to glos

"Dad, good morning," Ryan greeted, tentatively approaching his father. Michael sat regally behind the grandiose desk, engrossed in his phone and glanced up, his expression devoid of warmth. "Good morning? I can't remember the last time you greeted me. How's your face? Does it still hurt?" he asked, feigning concern. Ryan forced a smile, trying to hide his discomfort. "No, I'm okay," he lied, not wanting to give his father the satisfaction of seeing him in pain. "Dad, I need to talk to you about Rosa," Ryan began, his voice quivering slightly. He steeled himself, prepared to face whatever may come. Michael's eyebrow raised in curiosity. "And what about her?" Taking a deep breath, Ryan forged on. "Please, let her go. She has considered getting an abortion," he confessed. Michael burst into laughter, the sound echoing throughout the room. "What's so funny?" Ryan asked, feeling hurt by his father's reaction. "You, son. You're quite the joker. Rosa getting an abortion? That'

The evidence was irrefutable – Juliette, the woman he had once trusted, had been siphoning money from the company. The figures on the balance sheets and reports blatantly exposed the financial deceit that had been occurring behind his back. Ryan's mind raced with questions. How had he been so blind to Juliette's hidden agenda? Was this the reason she broke up with him first, even before he brought it up, to enjoy the fruit of her criminal activities? And most importantly, how was he going to rectify this mess without tarnishing his own reputation? "Dad, I... I can't believe this," Ryan muttered, his voice laced with a mix of disbelief and anger. Michael, who had been observing Ryan's growing realization, scoffed and leaned back in his chair, an air of superiority enveloping him. "I told you she was never interested in you. This is how manipulative women can be, Ryan." Ryan's eyes narrowed as a surge of fury coursed through him. He couldn't let his father's biased comments c

"Are you okay? Why the sudden moody look on your face?" Lisa asked with a concerned tone, observing Adrienne's distant expression. Adrienne shrugged, her attention clearly focused on her own thoughts. "It's nothing, really," she replied dismissively, rising from the bed and heading towards the bathroom. Lisa watched her leave, a mixture of anticipation and uneasiness filling her heart. After a brief moment, Adrienne emerged from the bathroom, wearing the seductive red lingerie set sent to her by Richard. The sight of Adrienne in such a captivating ensemble made Lisa's heartbeat quicken. She couldn't help but feel an overwhelming desire to express her adoration. "Uh... should I leave?" Lisa nervously stammered, her voice betraying the rush of emotions coursing through her veins. Adrienne turned to face Lisa, her reflection visible in the mirror, seeking validation. "How do I look? Does it suit me?" she inquired, her eyes searching for an honest response. Lisa swallowed, tryin

"Hey... How are you? What brings you here?" Ryan said, his surprise evident as he locked eyes with Adrienne standing before him. Adrienne exhaled deeply and embraced Ryan, seeking solace in his comforting arms. He reciprocated, tenderly stroking her back. "Is something wrong?" Ryan questioned softly, his hand soothingly patting her back. Looking up at him, Adrienne clutched both sides of his shirt, her expression wrought with emotion. She shook her head, conveying her answer without words. "You seem on the verge of tears. What happened?" "I can't believe I almost cheated on him," Adrienne murmured to herself, her gaze fixed on Ryan's profound eyes. "I missed you so much, and I had an overwhelming need to see you," Adrienne confessed, her vulnerability exposed. Ryan smiled warmly, his lips descending upon Adrienne's in a tender, lingering kiss. They embraced once more, finding solace in each other's arms. "Were you busy? Did I interrupt something important?" Adrienne questioned

"Hey, what kind of house is this?" Juliette inquired as Andrew brought the car to a halt. The mansion before her loomed large, but an eerie feeling permeated the air. It was as if a sense of darkness lingered, or something crucial was amiss, yet the silence enveloped the place like a desolate graveyard. "Follow me..." Andrew instructed, his voice commanding. Juliette observed him striding towards the front door, his hands casually tucked into his pockets. An involuntary scoff escaped her lips as she reluctantly trailed after him. As she entered, her annoyance only intensified upon reaching the living area and spotting a portrait hanging prominently on the wall. It was a grand portrait of Adrienne. "Why is her picture here? Is this her house? I distinctly remember you saying it belonged to a 'he' and not a 'she'!" Juliette's eyes rolled indignantly. "No, this is not her house, and it indeed belongs to a 'he,'" a deep baritone voice resonated from behind Juliette. Startled, she sw

Juliette's eyes widened with shock, her voice barely a whisper as she asked, "What do you mean you know where my dad is? How do you know my dad?" Juliette asked Richard, her voice trembling. Richard paused for a moment, assessing the emotions in Juliette's eyes. "The question here is... do you know your dad?" he said, choosing his words carefully. "My dad is... dead," Juliette said, her voice choked with grief. Richard's expression softened slightly. "No, he's not," he replied, his voice gentle yet firm. A tinge of annoyance flickered in Juliette's eyes. "Well, if he's alive, then where is he?" she asked, desperation evident in her tone. Richard hesitated before speaking. "Did you witness your 'late' father's passing, just as you did with your mom? Did you ever see his lifeless body?" he asked, his voice filled with curiosity. Juliette was taken aback, her thoughts racing. "So... that man might still be alive?" Richard's eyes met hers, his demeanor grave. "I can't sa

"Lincoln is dead."Adrienne was shocked."He is dead? Just like that? Why? How?" She asked.Richard was silent, and when she looked into his eyes, she saw the answers to her questions."You are responsible for this? You had him killed?""I'm sorry. I had to do it for Juliette. I know I should have told you, but I didn't want to," Richard said.Adrienne was speechless. She closed her eyes, trying to piece together exactly how she felt about the situation."I should give you some time to yourself." He wanted to leave, but Adrienne pushed him back, making him lie on the bed.She climbed over him and grabbed his chin."Why should I be mad at you? He deserved to die," Adrienne said softly, lowering her head to kiss him.Richard was so relieved, and he kissed her back passionately.She moved her lips to his jaw, his neck, and his chest and traced a path down to his waistline.She gazed at him with a sultry look in her eyes as she slipped her hands into his pants and set his excited member f

"Prison? What the hell?" Adrienne's voice quivered."Juliette gave that document to the police. She wanted to hurt me after I refused to take her side. The document had evidence of my illegal arms deals," Richard said."Arms deals? That's how you got wealthy, right?" Adrienne asked and Richard nodded."The Chief offered me a deal. He said he would give me the video Rosa sent to the police if I let him arrest me as a 'big criminal' to boost his promotion chances," Richard explained."What? No, that's a terrible deal! That's like trading a bread factory for a loaf of bread. You didn't agree to that, did you?" Adrienne said."Of course not. Rosa's video was useless to us. But I thought about it. I would get caught sooner or later if someone found out, or one of my partners got busted, or someone dug into my past. I know the Chief, so he's being easy on me. He could end our 'relationship' and arrest me with what he has. Luckily, that's not the case. If or when he gets promoted, there

"Boss? He hasn't called himself that in a while," Adrienne thought, smiling shyly.She sniffed the roses and they smelled lovely. She hoped there was a note inside, but there wasn't.She remembered the last time he sent her flowers with a note. It was months ago and the note only had 'I' on it."Where did I put it?" She wondered, searching her drawers. She finally found the note and looked at it for a few seconds."He never finished this sentence," Adrienne said.She set it aside and put on the dress.The dress was black with a strap and a sweetheart neckline and a ruched bust. It had mesh inserts at the waist with vertical lines and draped fabric that wrapped around the midsection. The slit on one side was indeed dangerously high."I am sure he can survive a little skin," Adrienne thought as she admired the dress.Wait. Where are we meeting? Adrienne wondered.She read the note again and he didn't say where they were meeting, he just said 'wear this tonight'.Does he want to meet at

"Hello, Adrienne," he said.She spun around and saw Ryan. Her eyes widened in shock."You're the witness? You're testifying against me?" she exclaimed."What witness? I'm here to watch the trial. What are you talking about?" he asked, puzzled.She snorted and turned away. "Whatever," she muttered, crossing her arms.He sat behind her, still taken aback by her coldness.The door opened again, and this time, the footsteps were that of a stiletto. It was a woman.Everyone turned to see who it was, and it was Annabelle.Adrienne scoffed. "She didn't tell me she was coming to Nigeria for the trial."As Annabelle got closer, Adrienne waved at her, but Annabelle ignored her and went straight to the witness stand.Adrienne's jaw dropped. Annabelle was the witness? After everything she had done for her?She glared at her as she swore the oath."You're in for a rude awakening," Annabelle whispered as she sat down.Adrienne felt her heart pounding, her forehead sweating, and her throat tighten

Adrienne felt a surge of anxiety as she entered the courtroom with Richard by her side. The day was finally here; Linc's trial.She glanced at the defendants' table, where Lincoln sat with his lawyer. He looked smug and confident, as if he had nothing to worry about. He met her gaze and smirked, making her shiver. It brought back memories of the nights she was locked up in that old farmhouse.She squeezed Richard's hand, grateful for his support. He had been her rock throughout this ordeal, always there to comfort her, protect her, and encourage her.The judge entered the room and everyone stood up. The trial began, and Adrienne listened as her lawyer presented the charges and the evidence against Lincoln. She felt a surge of hope as she saw the jury's expressions of shock and disgust. She hoped that they would see Lincoln for what he was: a monster who deserved to rot in jail.Then it was Lincoln's lawyer's turn to speak. He stood up and cleared his throat, looking at the jury with

Linc's body was thrown out of the car and onto the sidewalk as the car speedily drove off. He groaned in pain on the floor. A concerned stranger rushed to Linc's side to help him up, but Linc aggressively pushed the man away. This made other passersby ignore Linc and cross to the other side of the road. Despite the pain, he managed to stand up on his feet, his whole body hurting. As he looked around, trying to decipher his exact location, his eyes spotted a police station, and a smirk etched onto his face."They think they can get away with treating me like this," Linc said maliciously as he limped to the police station. Richard had given him a really bad beating, and he couldn't even walk properly. Every breath Linc took hurt him in his chest because of the impact of Richard's punches. "Darn you, Richard!" Linc cursed.As he entered the station, he collapsed onto the floor, putting on a show. "Help me, please. Help me. I was kidnapped by the Oh so famous Adrienne Davison and her

She hesitantly opened the files, and a flood of videos and photos appeared on the screen."That's a lot," Richard observed.Adrienne clicked on the first video, which showed Linc and Juliette having sex."Huh? Why would she send me this? I thought she promised something life-changing?" Adrienne rolled her eyes in frustration and flung her phone aside."You've been quick to lose patience over small things lately. Could it be the pregnancy hormones?" Richard inquired, concern lacing his voice."Ugh!" Adrienne exhaled in annoyance.Sensing her irritation, Richard extended his hand to soothe her by gently patting her back."Why don't we take our time and carefully review everything on the card?" he suggested."Okay. I'm sorry for snapping," she said with a soft, apologetic tone."That's better," Richard said, smoothing her hair affectionately."Come here," he gestured.Richard picked up the discarded phone, settled back on the bed, and Adrienne snuggled up to him, resting her head on his

Adrienne and Richard kissed passionately while Adrienne gently rode Richard on the bed. It was a slow and intimate dance as Richard’s hands caressed and worshipped her curves.He had arrived at the hotel and their brief conversation turned into a passionate encounter. After their lovemaking, Adrienne laid her forehead on Richard's."That was beautiful," he said, softly caressing her left cheek with his thumb.He then gripped her waist firmly and quickly flipped her over, hovering above her now. He looked at her deeply, still enjoying the afterglow of their passion."Why did you do that? I didn't want you to come out of me yet. I'm feeling hollow now. Empty!" Adrienne whined playfully, feigning annoyance.Richard chuckled. "Come on. We need to shower, and we have to be careful. I don't want to accidentally bump into Amelia. Look how quickly she's growing inside you," he said, rubbing Adrienne's belly."It's Ethan, and I wasn't even moving, so there's no way you could have hit him," Ad

Adrienne had cried herself to sleep and woke up in the evening. She checked her phone and saw tons of missed calls and messages from Richard."Why didn't you say anything?""Are you okay? Did something happen?""Please call me."Those were some of the texts from Richard. She didn't know what to say or how to explain her feelings and instead of replying to his texts or calling him back, she texted Lisa. She made a list of things she needed Lisa to bring and sent it along with the address.Then, Adrienne washed her face, went downstairs, and got into her car.***"What's going on? What are we doing here?" Lisa asked Adrienne as she followed her, carrying two big bags in her hands.Adrienne ignored her and walked quickly towards the entrance of the building. It was a large, white mansion with a sign that read "Joygood Memorial Park". Lisa had a bad feeling about this place. It was a private cemetery for the rich and powerful, where they buried their secrets and scandals, not just the
