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
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,
An annoying alarm rang loudly across the room, nearly destroying her eardrums. Dunn, enraged, stretched her left hand and slammed it into the alarm, causing serious damage. "A blissful morning to be late," she mouthed as she got out of bed, dark circles under her eyes. "I should not have started that drama; now I am doomed to not be able to sleep." She was still grumbling when she remembered that today was the general meeting with the upper management. "What the...?" She screamed as she rushed into the bathroom. A normal girl should spend about twenty to thirty minutes in the bathroom, but that is not the case here because she awoke at 8:30 a.m. and must return by 9:00 a.m. She almost forgot to brush her teeth, so she spent an extra one minute after bathing. She looked through her closet for a simple but elegant gown to wear. "There are no new clothes here; I need to update my wardrobe." Dunn groaned as she settled on a corporate teal fitting gown that was neither too tight nor to
Today is the 4th of July, a very sad day for Mason. “Good afternoon Boss” He heard a male voice with his steps disturbing his ears. “Can't you stop being a nuisance?” He yelled at the man approaching with his cold voice sending fears into his spine immediately. He doesn't care about people, He just lives in this world to maybe avenge his parent's death and after that, he will exit. Nothing interests him as he does say. “I'm sorry boss, I came to tell you about the meeting, The board of directors and the companies to work with us have been waiting for like one hour and they are complaining” He mouthed shivering, almost peeing on himself. Mason sighed in anger turning to the window side, looking at the outside view to prevent him from thinking, and about the board of directors, he intentionally made them wait because of their pride. He can't let anyone come into his company and try to control him, it can not work even in his next life. He believes that making
“ I'm not okay sitting here, Everyone is looking at me with either hatred or pity and I hate it” Dunn complained uncomfortably. “ I told you to go home and rest, I will help you pack your things but your blocked ears won't listen to me so I'm not moved by your complaint” Laura replied, walking towards the second seat located beside Dunn but it's only for staff. “ I know you will want to go to the club today but I will advise you to go home and sleep” Laura chuckled. Dunn sighed facing another direction, She saw Nancy coming towards her which made her scoff, irritated. She stood up to leave. Her hands searched for her bag but it was nowhere to be found. “Looking for this?” Nancy was raising the bag with a smirk playing on her lips. “Get your dirty hands off my bag” Dunn yelled, collecting her bag forcefully. “You know what, I've always thought highly of you but your actions made me lose the little respect I had for you” Nancy made a clicking sound with her lips
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. “
“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

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
