2021-04-19 16:55:41For 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.

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

"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."

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

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. โFollow that car.โ She said to Darral who just to happened to be the driver. โI missed you too Selena.โ 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 Asrielโs car, they followed him until he stopped in front of Platoโs restaurant. โCould he be stopping for a meal this early?โ Darral asked. &n

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?

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

The howling wind did nothing to calm her nervousness. Veronica was so exited to see Asriel Parker again but her excitement came with extreme nervousness. She stopped looking at her reflection in the mirror to stare at the little picture of Asriel Parker that she had taped to the corner of her mirror from a magazine.He was in a grey t-shirt and had his hands in the pockets of his black jeans. He was talking to someone on his left but Veronica had cropped the other parts of the picture and couldn't remember who the other person was. His grey eyes were always intense and he had a habit of running his hands through his hair. His handsome face only added to the fame he already had as a businessman and a major share holder in some other companies. His fraternal twin brother was just as successful and his younger sister just as him, but those other two didn't get Veronica's heart racing when they glanced at her or smiled at her.

Selena March groaned when she heard the strange annoying sound coming from her desk next to her bed. "Morning already?" She mumbled half asleep, subconsciously reaching out her hand towards her desk to stop the alarm. She pressed the alarm but the ringing persisted, annoying her. The ringing stopped and she smiled in satisfaction and turned her body to get more comfortable and go back to sleep.Just as she was about to drift off to her sweet sleep, the ringing started again and it was annoying her. She sat up angrily, getting ready to pick up the blasted piece of crap called an alarm clock but stopped, her hand mid way between her body and the alarm that wasn't ringing. Her eyes landed on her cell phone that was next to the alarm, ringing loudly. It was then that she glanced at the time on her clock.02:16

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

"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 Asaiahโ 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.
