As she emerged, her intentions to intimidate were unmistakable. Yet, I remained unfazed, my curiosity piqued instead.

"For how long has this been happening?" I inquired.

She stared at me as if I were a madman. "And why should that concern you? Even if I were to tell you, what do you plan to do with such knowledge?"

"It's none of your business what I do with it," I retorted sharply. "Answer my question. How long has this been going on?" My anger surged, unable to comprehend her callous disregard for a fellow woman who had fallen victim. How wicked could people truly be?

Her expression transformed, a smack of arrogance taking over. "It seems you didn't hear me the first time. Right now, it's not about your job. If you wish to keep your head intact, you'll stay silent and pretend you saw nothing. But should you act foolishly, I can't guarantee you'll come out unscathed."

I was now certain that there was a connection between her and the manager. Her unwavering defense of him spoke volumes

    A protective force emerged, blocking my view of Cameron, before I could even utter a single word. He swiftly commanded me to follow him to the back, without waiting for my response. Reluctantly, I trailed behind, unsure of what awaited me.Glancing back, I caught Cameron's worried gaze, but I reassured him with a silent message, promising that everything would be alright. Though uncertainty lingered within me, I knew it was wise to maintain a safe distance from John, in case he had any mischievous intentions.Guiding me towards the back door, John's eyes scanned our surroundings. With my phone clenched tightly in my hands, I anxiously awaited the revelation of why he had brought me here, though I had a faint inkling.Suddenly, he confronted me with a glare, questioning if I had been spying on him. It seemed he had chosen a different approach, refusing to disclose the exact reason for blocking my path. In response, I decided to play along, adopting the same sense of mystery. "Why would

    With a simple pinch, my message was conveyed and he froze in his place. John, still trembling, remained motionless as I motioned for Cameron to depart. After giving John a subtle warning, Cameron walked away. Taking a deep breath, John cast one final glance at me before vanishing into the distance.Suppressing my laughter, I watched him retreat in fear, his eyes darting around to ensure he wasn't being pursued. This was only the beginning; I would gradually expose his wicked deeds, piece by piece.The rest of the day passed in a blur, as my companions avoided discussing the incident. Yet, I could hear their hushed whispers, attempting to conceal their curiosity. Blair had been rushed to the hospital, and since then, I had heard nothing about her. It seemed as though I had become invisible, fading into the background. And I was grateful for it, as it was preferable to receiving attention for all the wrong reasons.Finally, the workday came to an end, and it was time to return home. Cha

    Much to my horror, he turned around and faced me eyes wide open. Causing the blood on my face to drain, I was glued to the same spot momentarily watching him advance towards me slow and steady until Blake's shout jolted me awake. He yelled the words "run" my legs darted on their own towards the left. Like a cheetah, I swiftly evaded every obstruction around my path. I was on a row not until I heard a gunshot, the shock was enough to push me to the ground.I tumbled, hitting my head hard on the shelf. In an instant my vision turned blurry, with my head spinning like a disco ball. The masked man stepped into my vision, I felt an urgency to run yet my legs betrayed me, stuck to the ground like glue. As my consciousness gradually faded away like sand on a beach, I questioned who could've done this to me, yet I couldn't land a correct guess. Way too many people wanted me dead, and it was all for the same reason. All because of one man, I wonder where he is right now, what his reaction wo

    A wave of relief washes over me as I turn and see Cameron by my bed side sweating profusely. A bunch of people are standing next to him, all wearing white coats. My eyes trail back to Cameron as I try to decipher but no matter how hard I think I know without a doubt that the man in my dream wasn't him. I've never been close to any other man in my life before, who could it be? This person saved my life, I have a feeling that if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here right now. "How are you feeling?" I am shaken back to reality by his soft tone, his voice is barely a whisper but audible enough for my hearing. A warm smile graced my lips as I responded with a slight nod. Next, a male doctor stepped forward to make his observations, pointing a small torch in my eyes."How are you feeling right now?" He repeated Cameron's question, his blue eyes pouring into mine as he awaited my response. Except for the light pounding in my head I was okay, the headache felt like it wasn't there even. I

    "I never knew you cared about me so deeply." I thought out loud without even realising.He paused for a moment before saying, "I wasn't aware of it either, not until I imagined a world without you, did I realise how lonely it would be."My heart was racing rapidly, and I'm pretty sure shock was boldly expressed on my face. I never knew Cameron was capable of uttering such words it made me so nervous that I couldn't bear to look into his eyes. But he suddenly grabbed my hand, causing me to turn and match his gaze. I felt an electric spark the moment our eyes crossed path, a strange silence lingered in the air as we continued to look at each other without saying a word. I could see the yearning and longing in his eyes, and this made me feel so warm. I never thought a day like this would come, when Cameron would stare at me with so much warmth and adoration. I wished the moment would never cease however all good things must come to an end. We were interrupted by the loud sound of the

    Immediately Blair left, Gina followed. There was a strange silence hanging in the air as Cameron and I stared at each other awkwardly. He probably knew the question I wanted to ask and the expression on his face told me he wasn't willing to answer so I held my silence. This persisted for a few minutes until I got tired and decided to speak my mind, "I don't know what is going on but I want you to know that I trust you." I saw his eyes widen in shock like he wasn't expecting that but I meant every word I said. Though I don't understand what is going on, if it wasn't for him I would be long gone by now and I had a feeling he would never hurt me intentionally. I could see with my eyes just how crazy in love he was with me, although he was trying hard to not make it obvious, he couldn't fool me. "You know I've always wondered, what made you fall in love with a man like me?" I couldn't help but laugh because the way he phrased the question was quite funny, "what do you mean a man like

    I was discharged a few days later, Gina came to the hospital to get me along with Cameron and a driver. We drove back home in silence, after all my efforts I expected that I would get Cameron to open up to me but no matter what I tried it was impossible he was closed up like a shell.So I made a decision to stop poking him and wait until he's ready to open up to me. There seemed to be a lot on his mind as he stared outside the window completely unaware. My heart broke watching him in this state, if only there was a way I could help alleviate his pain. So far no one had mentioned a word about the masked man or the reason they disappeared that night leaving me curious as hell. I asked a couple of times but no matter how hard I pushed I never got an answer. Although I felt it was unfair, because I was also a victim in this accident. I decided to bury it and conduct my investigations on the low. We arrived home and the gate man surprisingly at the gate, although I noticed his skin looke

    I observed her lips halt, her gaze fixated on me, her expression etched with dissatisfaction. It appeared as though she yearned to utter something, yet battled to restrain herself. The look on her face revealed it all. After moments of silence, she finally yielded, uttering the customary pleasantries of well-being. However, I sensed that her words held a hidden meaning, insinuating something else entirely. Once again, the thought crossed my mind - could she truly be the one responsible for my attack?If indeed she is, why have Cameron and the others not taken action yet? What could possibly drive a proud woman like Gina and her daughter to bow down before someone like Cecilia? Countless questions plagued my mind.She turned away from me, directing her attention towards Gina and Blair instead. "How about you both rise from the ground? I don't wish to appear as the villain here," she said, bursting into a fit of hysterical laughter.Her repulsive laughter echoed through the air, yet no

    “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hide it from you.” She said in a broken tone drawing closer to me but I took a step back.“I was going to tell you truth when everything is settled, believe me Avery I didn’t mean to hurt you this way.”But I couldn’t get myself to believe her a second time, “you were aware that I couldn’t remember anything yet you chose to lie to me.” I felt so betrayed that I couldn’t get myself to look at her, I had my suspicions at first but after she saved me I chose to trust her. I can’t believe her father was responsible and she knew all this while and chose to keep it from me. Just like Cameron did, why do they all protect their fathers even though they’re not good people?“I never lied to you, yes my father is guilty but he didn’t do it alone. Colton is his accomplice, you can’t absorb him of blame.”I turned to Colton who seemed to be enjoying the situation at hand, before I could get the words out he beat me to it, saying, “I did covet your father’s company an

It’s no use listening to him.”But even though I’d like to hear him out, after all I’ve only listened to one side of the story.“It’s not surprising that you act this way,” Colton says, “did you have fun feeding her lies? What? Afraid that I’d expose them?”“What lies?” I ask Kylie but she doesn’t respond, there’s a bitter look on her face as she avoids my gaze. It’s clear she’s keeping something from me. “I can explain,” she finally say

    For the longest time possible, I restrained myself from looking back. However, it soon became unbearable, and I was forced to retract my decision much to my dismay. When I turned around Cameron was no longer behind me. I don’t know why, but this made me upset. I had no strength in me to move further.With my heart rapidly, I leaned against the wall, hoping to catch a break.

I want to embrace him and say all is fine but I can’t seem to move my feet, deep down I’m still upset but I find myself feeling bad for him.What is this called? No idea.“Say something Avery.” Cameron nudges me back to life.My eyes trail up as I draw in a deep sigh, “honestly I don’t know what to say, my heads a mess right now. I want you to leave me alone at the same time I don’t.” I say truthfully even though my heart is racing rapidly, I crave for him to be closer. As if reading my thoughts, Cameron steps forward closing the space between us. He gazes upon me softly, In that moment my world goes still and it feels like there’s only two of us under the vast sky. A tear rolls down my cheek and he wipes it off causing me to shudder, but I don’t push him away secretly enjoying it. Even though my face shows no hint of happiness, because my heart is heavy. “I didn’t realize it back then but what I did

    I don't know why but my first instinct was to run, immediately I laid my eyes on him I descended into a hot chase. I could hear my name being yelled from a distance yet I did not care to look behind.Why am I even running? It's not like I've done anything wrong. In this case I'm the victim, the assailant is his father. If so, what does that make him?I don't know, but I wish there was a way I could find out.Right now I feel lost and confused, I don’t know who or what to believe. Is Kylie telling the truth? Did Cameron really treat me that way?

    Finally everything made sense, no wonder Colton is so eager to find me. He must be under so much tension right now, I can’t imagine what would happen if the documents eventually falls into his hands. That would give him enough shares to overthrow Cameron, and I don’t want to see that happen. “But the thing is, no one knows where the documents are.” Kylie said breaking me from my thoughts. “Perhaps the old Avery might have an idea not you.” She sighed tiredly and I couldn’t help but agree. We’re just as clueless as Colton in this situation, neither of us knows where to begin search from.“You mentioned those shares have been untouched for a while now, honestly I don’t think the old Avery would know.” I say, “wasn’t I maid in the past? If I knew I had so much money lying around, why would I choose to serve others?”She turned her face away from me and scoffed, “I know you well Avery, there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for that man. I wouldn’t be shocked to find out that you knew but dec

    “I don’t think it’s just for you to accuse him like that.”Even though I couldn’t remember, I had a feeling that Cameron wasn’t that bad. I couldn’t resist the urge to defend him. Didn’t I hate him a while ago? What’s happening now. She drew in a deep sigh, “you’re so stupid Avery I can’t believe we are friends.”“Says you,” I rolled my eyes, “I don’t even know who you are, do you think it’s right to accuse my husband in such a manner.”“I’m only trying to help you, what don’t you understand!”“Well if you’re trying to help me stop accusing him without having concrete evidence.”She paused for a moment rolling her eyes through me, “I can tell you don’t believe me, but look into your heart, the memories are in there somewhere.”“I don’t care about those darn memories!” I screamed out loud. Right now the only person I want to see is him, even though he’s one of the reasons why I’m miserable. It feels like only he can alleviate my pain right now.“Listen to me woman!” Kylie grabs my s

    Jake drove us to a fancy hotel in town, as the car came to a halt I alighted ready to walk in when I saw the words CMN boldly written ahead. Turning to face Kylie, “isn’t it Cameron’s?”She smiled back at me and replied, “indeed it is but it won’t be for long.”However that was the least of my concerns right now, even after learning that Colton robbed my family of everything we owned, reclaiming the stolen properties was the last thing on my mind right now. What I desire is to lock him behind bars forever. “Don’t you think it’s risky staying here? What if he finds me? Also I have no money, I can’t afford a place like this.” Pausing to look at her, “and I don’t think you can either.”I only took out little from what Cecilia had given me, the rest was carefully tucked away underneath the bed. Who knew that the motel would catch fire and everything would burn to ashes, now I’m cashless with two mouths to feed. Going to the bank isn’t even an option when I can barely remember my own d

    Just as I was preparing to attack I heard a commotion outside which created a distraction as both men craned their neck to the direction the sound had emerged from while the woman continued to focus of the babies, I couldn’t help but notice how tender and soft she was with them.She didn’t look as bad as the other two, I made a mental note to say a word of gratitude when I finally made it out of here. “Go check what’s happening.” Chubby said to skinny who seemed a bit reluctant but eventually turned walking towards the exit.As the man walked away, he turned to face me, I could see the warning in his eyes. “Don’t you dare attempt anything funny, now tell me where you have hidden the documents.”As I opened my mouth to speak there was a loud bang resembling a gun shot, he quickly scurried to the ground for safety while the woman hid away in a corner. There came another shot, I knew I couldn’t just seat still and wait for them to get to me. Without much effort I easy broke away from t
