Dunn opened her eyes slowly but a banging headache sent her back.
“Ouch,” She mouthed, rubbing her temples to relieve herself of the headache. “ I need water” She mouthed and shifted to the bed edge. She noticed how moderate the bed's softness was, not unlike her hard bed at home. The bed was too big and comfy to be her own. What surprised her the most was the figure sitting on the chair beside the bed stand. “Omg!” She screamed jumping down from the bed. Mason raised his eyebrows gently and frowned. He doesn't know why she was shouting when she was the one who entered his room last night drunk. Dunn looked down to see whether she was still in her dress but was more stunned to see herself in another dress. She didn't bother asking what happened or exercising patience, Her next action was so uncalled for. “My virginity!! ” She screamed and walked over to Mason, Mason was still wondering why she was coming to him till a resounding slap landed on his cheeks. “You damned rapist! Even if I enter your room drunk, Does that gives you the audacity to rape me!! ” She screamed, kicking him in his groin. Mason couldn't process what was happening as he looked at her amazed by her actions, He knows what happened yesterday and there is nothing like rape there. “I didn't... Dunn didn't let him finish his statement. “I hate you” She screamed and rushed out of the room not after kicking him, She didn't bother picking up her phone or bag. “What just happened? ” He still did not believe how fast the display was. “Boss” Two of his bodyguards rushed in after seeing the race Dunn took out of the room. They were surprised to meet Mason on the ground with his hand holding his groin. They were about to go out and chase after Dunn but Mason stopped them. “ Don't go after her, I know what to do” He smirked and stood up from the ground withstanding the pain from the kick. Immediately he stood up, He sighted a female bag with a phone beside it on the table not too far from the toilet entrance, He smirked knowing that it was for the lady that kicked him earlier. He doesn't know why but he felt happy as he picked up both the phone and the bag. “ I'm not going to the office today, I have to see Mr Charles” He mouthed coldly and walked out of the room. Mr Charles is one of the shareholders of his father's entertainment industry. He plays a crucial role in helping Mason look over the industry since he's busy with his own company, Ooks Group of Companies. ***********Dunn got home, She walked to her door and wanted to open it when she realized that her bag and phone. She screamed at her stupidity and rested on the door frustrated. Laura who was inside heard a little hit on the door making her stand up and walk towards the door to open it. “Ouch,” Dunn winced slightly as she hit her ass on the ground. “Why are just coming home?, Did you get fucked yesterday night and slept off tired” Laura mocked, looking at her pathetic jobless friend. “What are you doing in my house?” Dunn mouthed standing up from the ground and sat on the couch beside where Laura was sitting. “I came here last night to check up on you but I found the door locked. I called you several times and you didn't pick up and it got late when I was waiting for you to come. I opened the door and came in to sleep” “ That's not even the issue, Who got you tied down that you couldn't come home last night?” Laura Mouthed, Prepared to hear the gist. “ I did a fucking mistake yesterday, I fucked up seriously” Dunn slapped herself, remembering what happened yesterday. Laura looked at her and laughed mockingly, “What happened is all I want to hear? ”. “I went to Montana clubhouse yesterday” At the mention of Montana clubhouse, Laura knew that something huge happened. Montana clubhouse is the biggest and most expensive clubhouse in the whole of New York. The regular area is for public figures like Actors, Actresses, Models, Influencers, and so on while the VIP area is for billionaires. We say billionaires like Politicians and musicians, Company owners and so on. The cheapest drinks alone cost a level 7 civil servant monthly wage. So Dunn going to the Montana clubhouse alone is a problem. Maybe she paid for the drinks with her leaving payment and some of her other savings. “I made a huge mistake by slapping someone, I thought he raped me because of the change of cloth and the position I met myself on his bed but now that I remembered everything that happened last night, I knew I'm in trouble” Dunn lamented, She scolded herself for getting so drunk that made her misbehave. “ You are not in trouble, You don't even know the man and I'm sure you won't see him again so I don't think you have a problem” Laura chuckled softly. “ I left my phone and my bag in his room,” Dunn mouthed. She knew that she was already in big trouble because someone who could have a room in the Montana clubhouse was not an ordinary VIP. “ Today's trouble is worse than yesterday's trouble, I pity you” Laura Mouthed with a mixture of mocking and pitiful tone. The sound of the bell distracted them. “Did you order anything? ” Dunn squinted her eyes looking at Laura. “ No, I didn't,” Laura replied, looking confused and curious at the same time. “Who is there? ” Both girls chorused but no answer. Dunn came down from the chair and opened the door swiftly only to meet her bag and phone on the ground. “Ahhh” She screamed in shock, Her scream made Laura move closer and saw the bag and phone also. “Why did you shout? Is this not the bag you were talking about” Laura uttered, She wondered why Dunn screamed. She picked the bag and phone up and then closed the door. “How did he know my address? ”Dunn panicked, She roamed around the room not wanting to think negatively. Laura also was curious how but she also didn't want her friend to be more bothered which made her find something to say. “He may have searched for your house location with his phone as far as he has your phone with him, He may get it and you don't even know whether he is a tech guy,” Laura said, Dunn reasoned with her also.. “You might be telling the truth” She mouthed and collected her phone forcefully from Laura before remembering the offense she committed yesterday. “ How is Nancy doing?, I hope blood didn't get to her brain though” Dunn hissed and continued operating her phone. “She died yesterday night, It was due to excessive bleeding” Laura dropped the bombshell.“What did I hear you say? How come? She can't die, I didn't even hit the chair on the sensitive place, She can't die” Dunn mouthed bursting into hot and regretful tears. “ I was just joking” Laura bursted into heavy laughter holding her stomach. Dunn was dumbstruck, She jumped to where Laura was and hit her hard on the head. “What kind of prank is that? Do you know I almost had a cardiac arrest? ” Dunn screamed, almost deafening Laura. “ You should have thought about the consequences of your actions if the chair met her in a sensitive area” Laura hissed, pushing Dunn off her. “ That is not an excuse for the foolish prank though, I don't like it” Dunn pouted pretending to be angry. “ Will you shut the hell up and try to look for a job? ” Laura chuckled softly, not moved by the doll impression displayed by Dunn. “ I will try finding a job tomorrow and you will also help me” “I even have an offer for you but I don't know whether you will like it because
“ What do you mean by I'm not approved for the modeling again, I booked a flight from Los Angeles to come to California and the next thing you are telling me is that Another model has collected the job” “ I don't care who that model is but the moment I entered the plane, I've started the modeling and I will collect my pay” She mouthed aggressively putting an end to the call. “ What do they take me for? A dummy!?” She hissed, She noticed many eyes on her. “ It's like you want your eyes to serve as a dessert for your burial ceremony right? I'm asking everyone looking at me” She roared, transferring her aggression to everyone. “I thought there is always a mental test for everyone that boards a plane, especially for VIP section borders, Why is this time different because it's obvious you are mentally deranged” A young lady from the back fired back at Joan, Joan surprised that someone can talk back to her. “ Who the hell do you think you are? You this poor disgusting waste bin that ha
Dunn was seen trying to strap her waist belt but it kept removing, causing a slap on her tummy. “ Why today of all days? ” Dunn groaned frustrated, She removed the waist belt hook angrily and threw it on the bed. “ It's past eight and I'm supposed to get there before the boss,” She screamed, realizing her lateness. She decided to settle for a pair of corporate grey jeans, “ What the hell are you still doing at home by this time?! Are you not supposed to be seated at the reception? Laura entered with a towel in her hand. “ I can't find any dress so I settled for a pair of jeans and now I can't find a top to wear on them” She mouthed, turning her eyes around the room. Laura was just mute, She went to Dunn's closet after climbing heaps of cloth. “ With all the clothes here, You still can't find a suitable top for your jeans?” Laura asked, opening the closet, she threw three different tops at Dunn with a frown. “ Can you please help me pick a pretty top, I need to l
Dunn was still walking looking for a job even if it was part-time time when her stomach grumbled angrily making her realize she had not eaten since morning. “ Oh no but I still need to look for a job,” Dunn moaned, rubbing her temples in frustration. “ Lavender news station” She groaned and walked towards a noodle restaurant to fill her stomach as she couldn't withstand the hunger again. “ Good afternoon ma'am, What would you like to have?” A waitress walked towards her with a smile. “ What else are you people selling apart from noodles? ” Dunn asked sarcastically, making the waitress realize how stupid her question was. “ I'm sorry ma'am, Which flavor would you like to have? Is it the spicy one or the normal one? ” “ I will go for the normal one, I don't have enough strength to withstand the spicy one and please top it up with two chicken wings” Dunn smiled and brought out her phone to search for a job vacancy around her. The waitress went ahead to process he
In New York,It was a bright Monday morning. Everyone was either at home,at the office,at work or just exercising. In no time, News of Zendaya's death circulated, Zendaya was the model that was used to replace Joan for the America Celebrity newspaper cover. She was found dead in her room with a bullet stuck in her chest, stomach and a bullet hole in her forehead. A chain was beside her,it was obvious that it was used in strangling her because of the strangling signs that were found on her neck. Her tongue was outside, it was already stiff. The forensics said she has been dead for the past two hours. Her body was covered and moved to an ambulance with a stretcher while the police took all the evidence like the chain, bullet and pictures were taken also. Not too long after her death was announced, Her manager's death was also announced. His death was not as brutal as Zendaya's own. The modeling industry was thrown into confusion as different blogs, broadcasting stations and
Mason stood up from the bed with a frown on his face, it's not like he had a good sleep. He has been battling with a life-threatening insomnia for the past years, it all started when he took drugs for the first time. The day he met Madison, His ex-fiancee in bed with his uncle, Erling. He angrily went to a club and was forced to take Morphine mixed with alcoholic wine which caused him harm. Part of the harm caused by the drug was obsession due to what the drug met the brain doing. He hit his head a little to avoid him remembering the past, Stretching his arm, he stood up to take his bath when the notifications diverted his attention to his phone. It was a picture of a lady sitting in a noodle restaurant with a smile as he rubbed his finger on the phone screen. He dropped the phone and went into the bathroom to do his early morning business. After like twenty minutes, He came out from the bathroom in a cloud of steam, the towel around his waist revealing his ch
Dunn was still glued to her laptop when she heard Laura mumbling from outside. “ Why are you disturbing me with your mumbles? ” Dunn groaned, tapping her keyboard angrily. “ What happened? ”. Laura fell on the chair with a groan and gloomy face still didn't utter any statement. Her silence bothered Dunn, making her leave the keyboard and face her friend. “ Are you okay?” With concern, she questioned. “ I don't know what to do, Being a journalist is one of the most corrupt careers in the world, I will have to quit” Laura lamented, still not explaining what was bothering her. Dunn being a very smart and observable lady, already knew what the problem was. “ Are you thinking about the lavender news station? It's normal for them to bombard you with different articles, you don't have to complain that much” Dunn mouthed, Laura looked at her with a side eye and hissed. “ If it's about bombarding me with articles I won't complain, I was assigned to clear the rumors abou
Joan reported Laura to Lavender's news station which made them fire her, Laura was not devastated instead her eyes lit up with joy. She looked at her Boss and smiled, “ I'm grateful to you for firing me, I will never forget this good deed.” Throwing her bag across her shoulders, she bounced out of the news station. Even though she felt sad because it's very hard for someone with her type of certificate to find a new job in New York, She covered up her sad emotions. ******** Dunn tried on almost all her clothes before she could decide on what to wear. She woke up late again and today is the interview day for Ooks group of companies. She eventually got dressed and dashed out of the house in a hurry, “ I should go for a deliverance after today's interview, Any spirit of lateness and oversleeping should be far away from me” She thought flagging at a cab. She was to get interviewed at the Ooks group's first hotel. Her certificate is of no use, the only thing that ca
Dunn was seen pacing around in the female surgical ward, her mind preoccupied. She had awoken earlier and had been told to come see her friend. " Where did they say she was? I am going insane here." She was still pacing when three police officers walked into the ward demanding to see Laura. Dunn heard their request and rushed towards them. "Please make sure to catch the hit-and-run driver who put my friend in this situation," she begged, holding one of their hands. "Are you Dunn Edwards?" Policeman 1 inquired, bringing out his ID card to demonstrate his status as a police officer even though they were both in uniform. Dunn nodded immediately, indicating that she was. "We came to make some inquiries when the doctors informed us that Miss Laura's friend with the name Dunn was here," Policeman 1 muttered, returning his ID card to his pocket. "Your friend was involved in a very fatal accident in which the driver died immediately. It was not a hit-and-run accident,
Lucy's hand flew to her mouth as she finished reading the rules, leaving her feeling weak and regretful. She realized she had gotten herself into trouble after reading the rules. "What would the contract that I signed be like if the rules were like this?" She pondered and dipped into the puddle of regret. It was too late to turn back now, so she had to get used to her new way of life. *********Dunn was still trying to write the news for their daily article when she received a message from Laura. She thought it was strange that Laura sent a message when she would rather call. Her eyes widened as she clicked on the message notification to read the content, which included images of Laura's body outside, as well as a burnt car and a corpse that had been burned beyond recognition. She screamed and ran out of the office without thinking. She flagged down a cab to take her to the nearest hospital, and as soon as she got out of the car after paying, she dashed into the hospit
With various secrets coming to light one by one, the real war was just getting started. To the strange-looking man in front of her, Lucy angrily exclaimed, "I do not know what you are talking about." "You live with Dunn?" The man insisted, as if he were trying to force words out of her mouth. She quickly raised her head, wondering why all of the questions were about Dunn. "Yes, we live together; what is the matter with you?" She blurted out and pushed him away, but the man yanked her back against the wall, causing her to whimper. "My boss needs you." The man mouthed and hit her neck with his fist, knocking her out. *****20 minutes later, Lucy awoke to find herself in a strange and foreign place. The bed she was sleeping on was incredibly soft and cozy, and she instantly remembered what had happened earlier and tried to get out of it. "Sorry for the other time; you are awake." With a mouthful, the man she would been speaking to earlier entered the room carry
"What the hell are you talking about?" Dunn screamed and wiped away her tears quickly. "That is the only solution I could think of; you should do what they are accusing you of and date him because that is the only way he can protect you." Laura mouthed and picked up her back, holding her wristwatch to check the time and gasping afterward. "I am late, bye babe, and do not even think about quitting." She smiled as she rushed out of the house. Dunn was thrust into the realm of contemplation while attempting to consider the counsel offered by her friend. Lucy, who had been listening in on their conversation, became enraged and jealous and clenched her fist. She muttered, "That will not happen under my watch," and inhaled deeply before turning on her phone to respond to the odd message she had received earlier. The message said, "Good morning, Miss Lucy. I hope you accept our invitation and attend the interview. Thank you. You have been recommended for the position of
"How dare him?! " Erling muttered repeatedly until they arrived at his Villa, and his boys dragged the Edwards out of the car booth and onto the floor until they reached Erling's secret prison. "Keep them there; I need to take care of some business." He took one sniff and stormed out of the room, furious. As he made his way back to the parlor, he and Madison crossed over, causing him to stop dead in their tracks. "Tell your people to post it first thing tomorrow morning. I am ready for the plan," She said coldly before walking away with a glare. Erling laughed heartily, wondering what the hell woman thought she was. He walked down to the parlor and sat down, relaxed on the couch with a cigarette. He stretched to pick up a lighter, but the sound of gunshots stopped him as all of his men rushed out to see what was going on. His biggest rival, the De-Cal Mafia, is back for vengeance. His stone heart shattered with fear as he hurried underground to his hiding place, leavin
The flower vase crashed to the floor, dripping blood onto the marble floor, and the room was littered with broken glasses and vases flying around. For the first time in a long time, the news had an impact on him. The guards were afraid to approach him, so they summoned his secretary. The secretary dashed into the room without hesitation, and even when she stepped on the broken glasses, she could not winch out of fear. She witnessed the news and is already aware of the situation. "I am really sorry, Sir." She mouthed something and went to her knees right away, oblivious to the fact that her knees had been stabbed at various points by the broken glasses. Daren smacked his lips for the third time, then pushed his hair backward with his palm, a wicked grin gradually appearing on his lips. He raised his head quickly, making the secretary bow her head in terror. " How could you? I gave you everything you ever wanted, I lifted your wretched family out of poverty, and the
Carlo Edwards gazed at his wife. He was aware of everything that had occurred, including the rape and the miscarriage. His wife had no idea he was aware of this. He could not ask to stop him from hurting his wife again. While his beloved wife was thinking, he was busy sending voice notes, pictures, and videos to his daughter's email address. He scheduled it for 72 hours after his death. Carlo reminisced about Erling and everything he went through with him while he was in bondage and between life and death. "I hope you will be safe." He sighed out and started the car's engine, which jerked to life. ************** "What exactly are you doing here?" Lucy questioned Dunn about who had entered Mason's office. Dunn was stunned and remained in one position not for any reason other than the type of question Lucy asked and the authority in her voice, which made Dunn wonder who Lucy was to Mason. She developed an iota of jealousy for no apparent reason. "I came to see
Mason looked at the chairman intently, wondering how and what had happened. Instead of arguing or responding to the chairman, he stood up gently from his seat and was about to walk out when he noticed Daren's victorious grin. The rest of the people sitting down wondered if the chairman was unaware of Mason Brooks' identity. One of them stood up and walked towards the chairman. He bent down and whispered something into the chairman's ear, but the chairman vehemently objected. He is unaware of Mason Brooks' power in the United States. Mason pushed the door, and as he was about to step out, a young man stood up and said, "He can not leave. I was the one who contacted the Italian animation voice-over company, and I just wanted to show Disney how important this project is to me." Daren and the chairman were surprised, and the man bowed his head and apologized profusely. Mason opened the door fully and stepped out of the meeting room, then walked out of the headquarter
Dunn was already exhausted from work when she entered Mason's car earlier. He drove down to her workplace and hurried her to get down. She was stunned by the sudden action but had no choice but to get down. He walked her into the office wearing a cap to prevent anyone from recognizing him. Dunn had already completed all of her pending work and closed at the same time as the auction and dinner/lunch. The cab came to a stop in front of her house, and she got out. Her fist gently hit the door, letting Laura know she had arrived. Lucy dashed to the door and opened it because Laura was already in the kitchen, making cookies for them to eat. "Good evening, Ma'am." Lucy bowed her head slightly and smiled; Dunn looked at her with some emotion, but quickly returned the smile. "Who is ma'am? My name is Dunn Edwards." Dunn chuckled and walked into the house, while Lucy closed the door behind her. "I hope we get along," Lucy muttered underneath. She doesn't know w
