When Raymond finally arrived at my office, he looked scared. We greeted, after which I told him not to worry about anything and that I only needed to ask him some questions.
"Okay sir" he had nodded gently in acknowledgement.
"Good, sit please" I had offered him one of the visitors' swivel chairs facing me.
"Thank you sir" he had sluggishly obeyed.
"Good. So, have you heard from Stella?" I had politely asked him.
"Stella?" he had wrinkled his brows.
"Yes, her!" I had muttered.
"Actually, sir, I haven't been in touch with her for some time now but the last time we talked she seemed to be fine" he had said.
"Oh, but..." I had cleared my throat and continued, "do you really think she hates me?" I had absentmindedly asked.
"Hate? No, I mean... I don't really know but to be sincere she had never really said anything bad about you to me. The only thing she had told me wa
As soon as Kelly and I arrived at the Mayor's residence, we were asked to wait outside his office. And while waiting, I couldn't think positively about the situation except negatively. What if we had published something they didn't like? I wasn't even able to go through today's publication the fact that I was very busy, and now we might just end up being arrested and taken to jail. Or perhaps he might just ask us to shut down our company, until further notice. You know how all those politicians could be, arrogant as well as extreme. Anything against their taste would be suppressed or eliminated. Kelly pulled me out of my trance by asking if I was okay, to which I had answered him with "Yes!" "Oh, I thought you were... you know, busy in your thoughts. I actually called you thrice but couldn't get your attention" he had explained. "Sorry, I guess I wasn't paying attention. It does happen at times, especially when yo
One of the painfullest things in this world is finding your beloved suspicious. Lena had been acting so strange these days and also making weird calls. Whenever she sees me, she would quickly stop whatever she was doing and act as if nothing was going on. At first I thought she was just sorting out personal matters but now I realized she was planning a lot, something she didn't want me to know. There was a time I overheard her talking about some arrangements and even bargaining on the amount to pay. Since then I began monitoring our joint account, and gradually I learnt through the statement of account that she was transferring money to random people. It was weekly at first but gradually became daily. A day wouldn't pass without her sending money to those people, whoever they might be. We used to give out funds for charity or donation but not like that. I had wanted confronting her about it but decided to watch and see where she was heading to wit
The more I found Lena suspicious, the more my feelings for her fade. She refused to say a word about her strange behavior and she also refused to talk to me about it. Yesterday some strange looking guys came looking for her in our apartment. She was in the bathroom but I told them she wasn't around. I then asked the guys what happened and why they were looking for her. I thought they would be sensible enough to reply me but they didn't, they had only glared at me and smirked before leaving. When Lena came out of the bathroom, I narrated what happened to her. She became so furious and quickly took her phone, obviously going to dial their number. I snatched the phone away from her and asked who the guys were again, this time around she decided to talk. But I found her words not convincible. She told me the guys were sent by one of her friends to collect something from her, something I shouldn't worry about. And when I press further, she squeal
It wasn't long since I paid mom visit in Vinewood, but it seemed she had started missing me again. Just this morning after having a prolonged video chat with her, Elizabeth and Mr. Anderson, she asked when I was coming back again. And even after reminding her that it wasn't long that we last met, she had bashed that aside and told me I didn't spend much time with them that was why. And that next time if I come, she would force me to stay for like a month before allowing me to return back to Vincity. I didn't even know when I bursted into laughter as soon as she uttered that. And as confused as she was, she asked what was funny and I told her spending a whole month with them in Vinewood would definitely affect my work. She then rolled her eyes and asked where my work was when she carried me for nine months and took care of me my whole childhood. Her words made me to laugh even more. After talking for like two hours, I ended the video chat and
It took me a lot of efforts to finally convince Lena into going out with me because she had really meant her words when she said she was going to work. Nevertheless, after convincing her we both drove out en route National Park. That was the first place I had in mind. We would go to other places too but National Park had to be the first place, and while driving there Lena asked what exactly we were both going to do there. "I don't really like that place" she had added. "Well, you would like it. Just wait and see how I would make it lively to you, you know how good I am at that" I had said. "At what? At forcing people to like what you love? Oh come on, that place is too local and filled with children. I wonder why you even put it in our list, talk more of making it the first in our list" she had said, making me to choke. "Now you are making me to feel like coughing this steering wheel and laughing my intestines out" I had
I asked her if she was the one that masterminded what happened to Stella, and guess what? She nodded her head and told me of course she was the one. I actually didn't expect the answer to come easily so I thought she was just saying it but when I asked her again and she told me she was really the one that did it, I was so shocked. I then brought out my phone and recorded her voice as she explained further, telling me how she loved me from the first day she met me and how Stella tried to steal me away from her. She said she couldn't afford to loose me so she ordered some guys to chase and rape Stella so our relationship would end. And that moment, I realized I had made a big mistake falling for her trick. She kept laughing and explaining more about the case to me. She was so drunk that she laughed every now and then. She smelled badly whenever she belch. She kept talking about how she funded the guys that raped Stella and how no
"Yes you were, but all that you said can't be lie. They are so accurate, you know that right?" I had said. "Accurate as in how? Since when does people starts taking drunkards' confession serious?" she had queried. "Since when I became a Judge!" I had said with a gritted teeth, "You had once fooled me, you can't fool me again Lena. All I want to hear from you is the truth, are you the one behind what happened to Stella?" I had asked. "No, and stop accusing me of..." she said as I promptly matched the brake pedal, bringing the car to an abrupt stop. I then turned the engine of the car off and turned, glaring at her in anger. "Are you the one behind what happened to Stella?" I had asked again, this time around laying emphasis on each and every word I uttered. "Hmm, fine then. What if I told you I am the one, would you even believe me? Just look at me, why would I even do such a thing to my friend?" she had said, tryi
Ever since Lena confessed to me and also got me implicated into one of her crimes, we had been living like strangers. She became a free woman, doing whatever she likes and making calls anyhow with people. One funny thing was that, she restricted me from doing a lot of things. One of which includes nothing reaching out to Stella. She had warned me that if I ever meet Stella or even approach her, she would have her killed. I thought she was joking. I thought she was just trying to scare me. I thought there was no way she could ever find out if I met with Stella until today. After getting herself dressed in one of the gowns I once bought her, she told me she was going to meet Stella at a coffee shop and that I shouldn't even think about following her. However, just as she left I decided to follow her but something told me not to go with my car. Actually, I believed she had somehow bugged the car even though I had on different occasions before r
