"All done." The stylist said and I admired my hair and slightly caked up face.

"Let me get your gown." She went into my walk-in closet while I just admired myself in the mirror. It had been a while since I had actually looked at myself and found myself gorgeous.

She helped me into the gown and I hadn't fully taken in the beauty of the dress. It was made of a delicate white fabric that flowed and moved with every step. The neckline was simple and elegant, with a modest V-shape. The sleeves were long and billowy, adding a romantic touch to the dress. The length of the dress slightly grazed the floor.

"You look gorgeous ma'am." My stylist gushed with sincerity. I thanked her and I looked at the time. It was a few minutes to 8pm and the party was starting at exactly 8.

In order to keep my identity a secret which my father had always done since I was a child, in fact the majority of people believed Andrew was my father's only child, I was going to work from home.

"Thank you." I stood on my feet and took his arms as we gracefully strolled into the event. People continued to take pictures without hollering due to the fact that Dad was still planning the formal transition of Andrew as the official CEO.

I sat at the center of the room, the CEO's position, listening to every single question and insult thrown my way. I picked my cup of black coffee and took a sip as my head was banging due to the amount of alcohol I had consumed the previous night. Mr Gonre, one of the shareholders watched with an unpleasant look on his face. He was an old man with full white hair and beards, and always gave off the vibe of a man who was strict and abusive to his children to instill discipline."How do you plan to make this right Nathaniel?"

The classic blue jeans hugged my curves in all the right places, while the top gave me a classic and polished look.

This city felt so small because everywhere I go, I seem to bump into someone I know."Lydia…OMG, are you okay?" Georgia inquired looking at me with worried eyes while holding my arms. Just maybe if I didn't know her better, I would have truly believed that she cared."Sis, she's the ex wife of Nathaniel King who g

I nodded my head, taking in the cool office we were seated in. "Other than that, I agree with the plan of holding a charity event but your mum is still bullying Lydia? If she indeed had something to do with this rumor, which I doubt. That will cause further harm to your image. So let's just deal with these two." I took in his advice letting all sink in."I really appreciate you taking your time to even listen to me, man." Jacob smiled and we shook hands."No problem bro but umm….Do you think it's possible to reach Lydia?" Jacob asked, sitting back in his seat and I relaxed on mine thinking back to the last time I was able to contact her."I don't know man. I really put her through enough crap. I think it will be better to handle this myself." He nodded and a knock came from the door, a second later his secretary walked into the office with two glasse

I had spent hours preparing my answers, but there was still a nagging sense of uncertainty. Would I be able to handle the barrage of questions? Would I say the right thing? I checked my phone again, hoping for a message from her. But the screen remained blank, and the silence was deafening."Where is he?" I rolled my eyes at the sound of a familiar voice. Just a second later, Lisa and my mum entered the office with her assistant not too far behind.Lisa excused herself after telling me she tried to announce their presence. "Why aren't you in the suit I picked out? What's with the regular black tie for goodness sake."

And more importantly, was she going to kill me or request for ransom instead? What was going to happen to me?“Don't worry sweetie, I'm going to tell you everything you need to know.” She hit my cheek twice softly then smiled snisterly.“So….Let's begin with the group of stupid guys that died in your family's hotel…” She took a seat before me and crossed her legs elegantly.“It was a chilly Sun…I don't recall what day of the week it was.

My eyes were droopy, reminding me of the time I took too much cough syrup. It was a bit chilly in this place and I was seated on a chair but it was definitely not my office chair nor any of the chairs at home, as the chair felt cold and it was like sitting on a flat metal surface. I tried using my hands to rub my forehead, but I couldn't move my hands. It was then I forced my eyes open and instantly realized I wasn't in my house nor my office.Fear and confusion washed over me, as my eyes landed on absolutely nothing. It was completely dark in here and the only light was a small bulb which only managed to shine towards an empty office seat before me. I could see nothing else.Am I dreaming? Where am I? What the hell is going on? I struggled to move my arms and legs though they hurt badly, but it was so impossible. The

But I blinked it away. Whoever was doing this to me would never get the upper hand in all of these. Never! “What's wrong? What did the person say?” Nathaniel asked again, pulling me towards him gently and I sighed.“I don't even know who it was! But what I do know for sure is that it was the person behind all these murders because not only was the person laughing like a maniac and a complete fool, I was also able to make out the words from what the person said, as he or she was speaking in a whisper. All I think I heard was, ‘Hope you're enjoying the drama in your life.’ before the person hu

I'm not even going to begin to discuss how amazing she is as my woman.I left the twins with a smile on my face as I saw they were comfortable and just relaxing, kicking their feets.

But It was nice to see her taking her time and actually enjoying it.I stepped out of my room in a casual fit as I had cleared my meetings till 10am, so I could be with the kids till I had to leave.
