“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 you are somehow picking” Laura mouthed, walking over to her bag to bring out a small paper. “What is the offer all about? ” Dunn asked curiously. “There is a vacant slot at the Rizma Clothing store but it's not a secretary's job,” Laura said, throwing the small paper at Dunn. Dunn slowly opens the paper with mixed emotions. “ I hope to see a good result”. “ Wow” Dunn jumped up after seeing the content of the letter. “ How sure are you that you will get accepted? You shouldn't keep your hopes high before your disappointment skyrockets” Laura said. Laura's statement spoiled Dunn's happy mood immediately. “ Why do you have to spoil the good energy? ” Dunn mouthed sadly. “ I was just joking though, I'm sorry. When was the last time you heard from your parents? ” Laura questioned changing the topic. “ My Mom and Dad are on a vacation in Hawaii and they don't want any disturbance so I don't think they can call me” Dunn hissed remembering her mother's statement making her feel jealous. “ You are the one behind your problems, Your parents are comfortably rich and they love you and your junior brother. Instead for you to lean on them for a while so that you can rise but your adamant self won't agree” Laura hissed, frowning at her adamant friend. “ You stop bringing up that issue or trying to convince me, I've told you several times that I don't want to rely on anyone. I want to be successful on my own without anyone's helping me” Dunn mouthed. Her voice was already sounding angry and doubtful like she was doubting herself that she could eventually be successful. “ You see, You are not even sure about your future being the one you want it to be. There are some people that for them to be successful, Someone has to bring them up” Laura tried advising her friend. “ I'm not that someone, I will become successful by my hand work not through someone else” Dunn almost yelled. “ It's fine, let's leave the topic. When are you planning to apply for the job? You know I have to follow you, Right?” Laura queries, to be sure how to reschedule her plans. “ I'm planning on going on Monday which is two days from now, I need to tailor my CV again” Groaning of frustration escaped her lips tiredly. Laura looked at her friend and smiled. “To be successful you have to be stressed. Take a risk. ” Laura mouthed a few encouraging words which made Dunn laugh. “You should stop working as a journalist and start motivational podcasting. People will love your channel” “ I almost forgot, When last did you hear from Daniel” Dunn decided to bring the name up to tease Laura. “ Who is Daniel?” Cluelessly Laura asked. “ Daniel, Your Mexican boyfriend” Dunn squeaked trying hard not to laugh. “I don't have any boyfriend, I'm single and searching” Laura denied. “ He called me the day before yesterday, I forgot to tell you. He said that he will be landing here in New York next week” Dunn said, Laura was getting tensed already. “Are you serious?" Was the question she asked curiously. “ She blocked my number so I won't be able to call her, Right? You should relay this message to her that, She can't run from me forever. I will hunt her down” Dunn said, holding her laughter and frowning her face to look more serious. “ What should I do now? I'm ruined!” Laura eventually submitted to the fear and tension coming from that name alone. “ I don't know, I once advised you to break up with him when you noticed his truancy behavior but your love for him blocked your ears. Now you will deal with the consequences yourself” Dunn said unconcerned. Laura's mood was officially down, She reminisced on her fights with Daniel as she regrets deeply. “I was just joking,” Dunn eventually said and burst into mocking laughter. “ What do I do now? I'm ruined!” Dunn mocked and ran into her room, locking the door from behind. Laura's look alone could have sent her to her early grave. “ The only way you can escape death today is if you don't come out” Laura rumbled angrily. ************ON THE FLIGHT GOING TO CALIFORNIA. Joan was seen yelling at a flight attendant in the VIP section of the plane. “ Who are you to tap me? You didn't only tap me but also woke me up from my precious sleep. How dare you? ” She roared, waking most people in the plane. They were just looking at her, Nobody involved themself. “ I'm sorry ma, You were the one that told me to come wake you in the next thirty minutes,” The flight attendant said, confused about the reason why she was shouting. “ Oh, I'm very forgetful, that is what you are insinuating, Right?” The next thing she did was land a slap on the flight attendant's face. The flight attendant met herself on the ground immediately stunned. She tried to process what just happened when Joan landed another one on her left face. Surprised reactions filled the VIP section as they looked at Joan. “The next time you interrupt my sleep, That's the day you will lose your Job” . With that, She covered her face with a novel titled School of Supernaturals and closed her eyes slowly. The flight attendant stood up gently and went away to attend to another person without showing a sign of pain or anger. She followed their job ethics well. “ Why is this damned old rat calling me? ” She thought disgustingly and picked up the phone. “What!” Joan yelled not getting what she heard on the phone well.“ 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
She knew this man; she had slapped him in the clubhouse room. With regret, her hands quickly went to her mouth and covered it. Mason identified her as His Alluring Obsession after glancing at the startled and terrified girl occupying the last seat. Mason approached a chair a short distance away from them and sat down, gesturing for the interview to continue. Before attempting to speak during the interview, Dunn bit her lip and blinked repeatedly. "What motivates you to collaborate with us and why should we hire you?" Dunn was once more left dumbfounded by the interviewer. Her lips slightly parted, but her voice was too low, making it difficult to understand what she was saying. The man looked over to Mason who had his eyes glued in their direction, he shivered in his seat at the thought he was the one being stared at. Dunn's interviewer focused back on his interviewee to ask questions, “ What are the qualities a hotel attendant should possess” He asked opening a fil
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
