2024-10-29 19:42:56The lady who had identified herself as Selena March smiled victoriously as she walked out of his office. Asriel could basically hear her humming happily. He sat down and smiled to himself_ he could not help but find her determination and wit attractive. It was attractive, not that he was attracted to her or anything like that _ well, that was what he told his mind anyway.
He looked at his then organised desk and tossed the document that she was reading _ the document that linked him and Veronica. The desk looked good and the way she had put the sticky notes were also in an easy to understand type of order. A thought struck him and he frowned. She had told him the truth but he knew without any doubt that she had left out a lot and was hiding most of it. All she said was obviously a drop in an ocean compared to the whole truth.
He rubbed his temples with a heav

***Selena sat up in her bed with her eyes closed. She was not pleased with the loud incessant knocking on her bedroom door and the fact that she had a pounding headache was not making it any better."Go away!" She shouted angrily, massaging her temples to reduce her headache. It wasn't working in the slightest. To her surprise, the knocking stopped and the silence was followed by the sound of footsteps walking away.She opened her eyes to check on her alarm clock only to freeze. She did not know which room she was in or where she actually was. The room was way bigger than her bedroom in her house. It's design was that of an old yet beautifully maintained room. Her eyes landed on the huge flat screen TV on top of her door that showed the time. Right next to her bed was a small table with a mirror and a stool. The

Just as she put the last file in the cabinet, the door behind her opened. She turned around and saw a tall good looking man walk in. His curly hair was neatly tied in a man bun. He was in a navy blue suit and he had his eyes on his phone. "Hey, Asri_" he stopped mid-sentence when he looked up and saw Selena instead. Grey. His eyes were pale grey just like a certain unimpressed boss she had in mind. Selena was not really a fan of men with beards but this one she could swoon over. It was short and well kept. His ears had two piercings each but only his left ear piercings had ear rings."Well hello there, Love." He said grinning from ear to ear. It made Selena feel very uncomfortable but she chose to ignore the feeling and smiled back at him.

"What is wrong with you?" Asaiah asked when Asriel let go of him outside the office."It is Selena. She does not know the actual truth about this company." Asriel answered pocketing his hands. Asaiah's face became pale. He was just as startled as he was worried."Asriel, how could you be so careless?" Asaiah exclaimed. Asriel pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. "You know that those staffers are not allowed to go above the ninth floor. The only accessible place for them on the tenth floor is Ataliah's office and they only go there on their first day!""Please stop shouting." Asriel said looking around as if someone might just walk in on them arguing. Asaiah waved his hand dismissively."Calm down brother. After all everyone on this floor is already familiar with our situation." Asaiah said sarcastically. The glare he had

Selena waved off the taxi after paying. She had her eyes on the police building in front of her. She smiled as she walked towards it_ it felt way more comfortable than being at Gratia Plena.She opened the door and walked into the reception area, looking around as if she hadn't been there for ages.Selena waved in greeting to Winter, the police secretary and she waved back with a smile.Selena went on to the main hall where the main business at the station happened. Everyone's desks were there and it was usually in a bustle. She looked around until she saw her desk right next Darral's desk. It was then that she knew that she really missed working at the station with everyone else. Her detective role was always so busy and thrilling. She usually carried out sting operations after tracing the perpetrator(s) of a case but never full undercover operations_ despite it being a main part of her job.Although working at Gratia Plena

The room was quiet as everyone took Sera's revelation in. Whatever drug that Veronica inhaled had the exact same effects as Tobacco and the cyanide, except the effects were instant. But what drug gave the exact same results as tobacco and cyanides. It was almost as if they were enhanced.Selena suddenly tensed up as Asaiah's voice suddenly played in her mind again.«Calm down, Asriel. The GHB was modified to_ ah.»Just what had she really gotten herself into?"The only explanation I have is that the drug was modified to enhance its effects probably a hundred fold." Sera said as if reading Selena's mind. "But the technology needed to do such a thing has not been created yet. Also, a huge scientific team has to assembled in order to actually have a breakthrough as large as this. Also, where on earth would such research be hidden and for what?""What

"No." Asriel stated firmly without looking up at Selena. He had the annoying habit of not giving her or anyone else his full attention. The only one who was ever able to grab all of his attention was Asaiah– and that was probably because he had to keep an eye on him.It had been a week since Selena started working with Asriel but all he ever let her do was sort out files and recite to him his schedule. Such was an obstacle in her investigation. Maybe if she had more access to his life then she would perhaps gather a little more information about him and his connection with the case."Sir," Selena said as she sat down in front of him on the guest chair. He still had his eyes on the laptop and it was starting to annoy her more than it usually did."With all due respect, I am tired of you only giving me these tiny tasks that you probably used to do yourself before you got yourself a new assistant.

Selena plopped down on her bed after walking in. It was just a simple task of reading through business emails and cancelling some meetings but it was still so tiring. If she kept on being an office lady then she would end up going out of shape and Andrew Darral and Gina would make fun of her for the rest of her life.Asriel, Asaiah and Ataliah obviously did more work than her but still managed to keep themselves in shape so she was going to do so herself – after some shuteye of course.Selena almost fell off her bed when she heard some really loud knocking on her door. The clock on her table showed that it was eleven PM."Come in." Selena called while rubbing her sleepy eyes and yawning. The door burst open and Tracy danced in right after. Yes, she was literally dancing to a tune that was probably in her mind, seeing as she had no headsets or headphones on.&nb

For the third consecutive night, Asriel woke up feeling cold and sweating at the same time. He was breathing heavily as if he been running in his sleep. He glanced at the digital wall clock on top of his door and realised that he had only slept for about an hour."Damn it!" He said as he slowly got out of his bed. He hated over working himself but he hated sleeping more, especially if it meant that he had to deal with the same nightmares over and over again. He walked out to the balcony and stood at the edge while staring off into space.He sighed, suddenly regretting the fact that he had skipped another therapy session with Emmanuel. Most of the time, Emmanuel would call him and find out why he skipped a session or just force him to come all together but not that time. Asriel was not even sure if he was relieved or worried.

The hotel where the gala was being held was surrounded by a lot paparazzi photographers and media vans. Selena found herself clinging onto Asaiah’s arm as he led her towards them. She could feel her nervousness increasing ever so slightly with every step.“Just a heads up for you.” Asaiah whispered to her. “I have never attended any event with a partner before so these people are definitely going to follow you around now and then.”“What?” Selena said surprised. “Just for being your partner?”Asaiah chuckled and nodded. Selena sighed when she remembered that the Parkers were famous people. Living with them and seeing them a lot just made it slip her mind. What also slipped her mind was the fact that Asaiah was not the type to stick to one woman and he probably chose not to go with part

Selena hadn’t the slightest idea when she had fallen asleep. She did not even remember getting into a car with Asriel or how she ended up on her bed.However, she did remember that she had followed Asriel to Lanes Street and had somehow been noticed along the way.She also remembered a name that she knew might be connected to Asriel.Larry Smithson.Whoever this Larry was, Selena knew for a fact that he was going to be a major clue.She sat up on her bed and reached straight for her phone in her bag. She smiled when she saw all her missed calls and messages from Darral. She dialled his number and he answered immediately.“And where the hell did you disappear to? Weren’t you supposed to text me your coordinates? How dare you get back to me this late! You probably had so much fun that you just decided

Selena was thankful that Asriel had not given much thought to how and why she had gotten to work so early in the morning. She ran to the car park and got into the passenger seat of a car and strapped herself in. “Follow that car.” She said to Darral who just to happened to be the driver. “I missed you too Selena.” Darral said with a fake frown. Selena put on her seatbelt and threw a sharp glare at him. Just who id he think he was to start messing around when they had an important task to do? Darral smiled teasingly as he started the engine immediately pulled out of the parking lot and got on the road. Staying four to three cars behind Asriel’s car, they followed him until he stopped in front of Plato’s restaurant. “Could he be stopping for a meal this early?” Darral asked. &n

Asriel stretched his arms and back as he walked down the stairs of the house to the living-room. Because of Emmanuel’s therapy sessions, he had missed three days worth of appointments, paperwork and reviews. Knowing Asaiah, he probably took the fact that Ariel was not breathing on his neck as a chance to slack off. He knew he had too much work to do.Deciding against having breakfast at home, he walked out of the house. Because it was quite early, Asriel chose not to wake up Zach from his well deserved rest. Selena on the other hand did not deserve any rest after getting him kidnapped from his own room.As he walked to his car, he pulled out his phone and dialled Selena’s line. To his surprise, she picked up on the first ring.“Hello and good morning sir.” She said cheerily. She even sounded wid

"Will that be all?" The waiter asked Selena and Gina as he finished writing down what Gina had just ordered. "Yes, that will be all. Thank you." Gina said smiling while Selena just nodded. The waiter bowed his head. "Very well then." He turned to leave but stopped and stared at the flowers in the vases that were on each side of the door as if he had seen something displeasing. Gina and Selena watched him in confusion as he muttered to himself angrily and started rearranging the flowers. It only took him two minutes to finish his task after which he smiled like he had just won the lottery and left quickly. The flower arrangement did not even look any different from the way it was initially. Gina rolled her eyes. "What a perfectionist. The flowers do not even look different."

Selena looked around Emmanuel Scofield's living room in awe. It's main decor was flower vases and paintings. There was a large portrait of Emmanuel's family. His wife and three daughters had bright smiles on their faces. Emmanuel was holding a sleeping baby boy and was smiling too."Mr Scofield's house is beautiful, right Zach?" Selena said to Zach who was seated on the couch in the same room. When he did not respond, Selena grinned at him."Zach, do not be such a cry baby. I only beat you once and yet you are acting like I am the worst person alive."Zach glared at her. "You promised to not speak of that to anyone.""And you promised to be a new friend of mine." Selena said with a pout and her arms crossed. "So friend, isn't Emmanuel's house lovely?"Zach sighed and looked away. He was stil
