Jeff Carlton's face turned into a frowned when he saw the luxury sports car parked in front of the Younas' residence.
He couldn't believe that the Young lady thought about exposing herself in that way. Isn't she thinking good enough? It's a freaking Luxury car that worth bunch of money and she's displaying it like it was just a taxi?
From there, a man who accompany her the whole day, got off the car and turn to open the door for her.
After few more talking, she walks towards the gate. The car took off when the lady got inside of the house.
Jeff also parked his car on the garage. After a whole day of following her everywhere she goes, this is the first time he felt tired after a long while.
He decided to take a shower but thinks about calling his first.
"The lady purchased a car today."
"A car? Why would she purchase a car? She didn't even have a driver's license." The First Madam's voice really sound so
I've waited enough time until I hear that someone open door next to my room. I'm sure it was Conrad. I quickly walk towards the door and open it. When I saw nobody is around, I open the door where he came in. I saw him already sitting on the swivel chair behind his desk. Mixed with sadness and anger, I walk towards him. I pressed my palms on his desk while looking at him straight in the eye. "What do you want?" His cold voice makes me feel like crying right now. "How can you do that to me, Conrad?" I swallowed hard to stopped the tears from falling. "I am the one who supposed to ask you. How can you do that to my aunt and fiancee?" Even his eyes were full of coldness as he stare back at me. "They first insulted me. I had no choice but to defend myself." "They do what? Insulted you?" He scoffed. "On what part did they insult you? Fo
SIREN'S POVI heaved a sigh when I heard Harry's words.I was trying to keep my identity hidden from the Younas'es but things got worse when Claudia came into the scene.She's the most shameless mistress I had ever known in my life! Also with the fact that she's acting so bitchy in front of her sister makes me want to slap her hard on her thick-skinned face."Oh please. It's just a proper thing to do when someone wants to leave so suddenly. Besides, if she didn't do anything wrong or hiding something on her suitcase, she will simply let us check it, right?" Claudia said while looking at Harry's face with such an awful smile."I am sorry. But I won't allow anyone to do it if it wasn't a police officer. Besides, I am sure that Young lady will never do anything wrong with anyone." Harry fires back. Strongly opposing Claudia's scheme. "If you insist that idea, I'll be
The officer who's laughing out earlier turns pale when he heard what the chief addressed her."But, sir, the investigation isn't done yet." The man tries to interrupt."I'm pretty sure this is just a misunderstanding with the complainants. Besides, we don't have any evidence that you make any crime using that identity. So I suggest that we must put this matter an end.""You say so?" Siren raised her brow in disdain."Yeah. Besides, I don't want to be questioned by my superiors on why I let my men investigate such a shallow matter. I'm sure that Miss Mendez didn't do anything wrong after all."Siren smirked. This man obviously making a way for her in favor."Okay." She got up. "By the way, I can see that your team is good. They do want to work efficiently. It's just how unlucky of them to have a head officer like you who is scared with names. That is the biggest problem that the system is facing." Then she walks out.&n
"Hey, aren't you going to get up and eat?" Siren heard a familiar voice but didn't bother to lift her head up.She closes her eyes to pretend she's sleeping.Just like the other days, she still lying on her bed. Not wanting to do anything. Though she's not crying, she could feel that another part of herself had died.She was lying on the left side of the bed. Facing left too."Are you going to kill yourself from hunger? What was that hunger strike for?" Felix's voice sounds like an irritating sound of a man who uses loudspeaker when there's a union stike.Without getting any answer from her, Felix pull the blanket off and threw it on the other side. He then tried to reach his feet to pull her down."Leave me alone!" Siren exclaimed.But Felix didn't give a damn.The assistant that he appoints to keep Siren's company suddenly ca
By the help of the housekeeper and her assistant, Siren slowly recovers her health. Though she's still suffering from anxiety, at least she can slowly manage to gain her weight back."Did Harry called you if he's coming today?" She asked the housekeeper when she saw her cleaning on the living room."I didn't receive any call from Mr. Spencers. Why? Is there something that Miss Siren need?""No. I'm just wondering. It's already eleven o'clock but he's not around yet." She frowned. Harry had never been late even a single time. If he has something urgent to do, he probably calling her first. But today is different.She walked towards the glass wall. It's raining outside as she looks beyond.After few minutes, the rain stops already and it will be lunchtime soon but no Harry is coming.She's growing impatient while time keeps running and he's not showing any sign that he'll co
"Bring along her assistant with her." Greg answered.Sylvia looked at him and nodded.Jeff turn around and immediately do the process of patients transferring.------Harry opens his eyes only to meet his sight with a white ceiling. He blinked several times and realize he wasn't dead yet."How are you feeling now?" He heard a familiar voice on his side. But his neck was too to move his head to the side."Miss Siren..." He calls her name.He felt a small petite hands holding his and squeezing it softly."You scared me to death, you idiot."He chuckled. He felt his cheeks burn in pain. But he hold himself from groaning." I'm sorry. I should have called you I'm not coming today to fix some matters.""You've been absent for three days now. That 'some matters' of yours almost left you life less if I didn't came." Her soft voice was stern yet it was soothing. Throwing his worries aw
He got a call as soon as he reached his office. It was from Felix Wines of Northern State Branch."Good morning." He said to Mr. Wines' secretary."Good morning. Do you have an appointment?" The woman slightly twitched her lips."Mr. Wines is expecting me. I'm from Eastern Construction Company.""Mr. Younas?""Yes.""Please come inside. Mr. Wines has been waiting for you." She stood up and open the door for him."Good morning."Felix Wines lift his head up and meet his eyes."Oh, hi. Good morning. Come and take a sit.""Thank you." He walk towards him and sat on the chair in front of his desk."I was reviewing your weekly report and the others. So far, I want to tell you that you are doing great on this project."
"Wow..."Siren almost dripped her saliva when she saw the delicious food served in the table.There are lots of different dishes both meats and seafoods."Keep your mouth a distance. Your saliva will fall on the food." Jeff said, seeing her reaction with their little feast.The housekeeper cooked all the food that she asked her earlier. It's for Harry's recovery and a housewarming feast too."Wow ... This is so much for the three of us!" Harry's eyes was full of amusement.The cold expression on Jeff's face turns into a smirk. Who would have thought that in his thirty-two years of existence, he'll be having a moment like this with these two childish people in front of him?Siren, after being sick, was now getting her weight back. She looks more vibrant and energetic more than the first time he had seen her.She grab the chopsticks on the side. "This food really looks delicious." Then she star
A smile was wiped from Madison's lips as she saw the familiar vehicle in the villa's garage. When her car was parked, she immediately got out to confirm her suspicion. When she entered the house, she was a little surprised that there was no Mrs. Carlson to greet her. She looks so confused as she finally entered the household. "Where have you been?"She almost jumped when suddenly a loud voice spoke. Only to find out that the man who just asked her were standing on the stairs. Seriously looking at her. "Arthur?" She almost stuttered. What is Arthur doing here? "I'm asking you. Where did you come from?" He asked as he started to walk down the stairs. She took a deep breath as she spoke. "I just wander around the corner.""Around the corner?" He repeats when he finally get down and they face each other. "Where's that around the corner?"In Madison's eyes, even though the man looked chill and composed, she knew that was not really what he had in mind. "Do I really have to tell yo
Her heart suddenly skip a single beat without her knowing why. Although still smiling, the confusion on Madison's face was obvious as she turned to the man. "Leaving?" She repeats. "Just a moment and the sun will go down, we can leave later."Conrad smiled. Smile that she could not understand. "What I mean is, I'm going back home. My vacation is over."Madison was stunned for a moment. She couldn't think of anything to say. She felt awkward because of the moment of silence so she just turned her eyes in another direction. "Good to know." She just said that. "When's your flight?""The day after tomorrow." The man answered. "Ah.""Madison?""Hmm?""Thank you.""What for?""For everything. For accompanying me. For apologies, and for the memories."Even though she wasn't looking at him she knew Conrad was looking at her now. So she suppressed the urge to turn in his direction. She doesn't want to be wrong. "You're welcome." She says. "Madison?""Yes?" She answered before finally tu
Two, three, four to the fifth day. They have toured almost all the tourist spots in Zagreb, the country's capital. They have almost no idea where to go next. Every restaurant, street foods and other pastry shops have been visited and tried by them too. "Where do you want to go now?" Conrad asked her as he drove the car. "I can't think of anything else. I think we've been to every places we can go to." She replied. "Is that all?" He asked with a frown. "Hmm.""How about we get on the yacht? Sailing at sea, then." He suggested. "Yacht?" She asked. "Are you in?" The excitement was painted on his face. "Sure. I think it's better to watch the sunset when you're on a yacht. It's a different feeling when you're in the water than on the ground when you're watching the sunset." Smiling, she said. Her eyes were focused ahead so she didn't notice the moment Conrad's gaze turned to her. The man smiled in amazement at what she said. However, he never spoke again. ---***Felix stopped wa
They thought to visit some of the famous museums and restaurants that day. Madison noticed that as long as they were together and talking, she also got to know the man in a way he didn’t intentionally show. The day passed without her being aware of it. Somehow, it also makes sense to talk to the man. He's also easy to get along with though he loves to spill some daddy jokes everytime.And true to his words, all expenses including her daily wage are the all charged to him. "Why don't you want me to take you home?" Conrad asked as he stopped the car on the side of the road. "It's also a waste of the fare if you have to ride home.""Nevermind. My house is just around the corner." She refused as she got out of the car. "Are you sure?"She rolled her eyes. "Yes.""Okay. Just be careful going home. Call me when you're home." He ordered that makes her raised an eyebrow. She grinned at him. "Do I have to tell you if I'm home or not?" She asked. The man smiled as he scratched his forehe
‘My wife is going to give birth that day. The baby she will give birth to is a pre-mature baby so she has to be taken to a bigger hospital. We were on the road when we suddenly heard a series of gunshots so in fear I stopped my pick-up truck on the curve and thinking about turning back. But I saw that Margarita was bleeding. I was afraid that something worse would happen to my wife and my son so I carefully thinking what to do first. When I was sure the gunshots were gone, I went back. A few meters away on the curve, I saw a car. Black and looks expensive. But the windshields are all destroyed. I did not catch up with the culprits, but I saw a woman lying on the ground. A few meters from the car. Fearing that we will get into trouble, I planned to leave the woman alone. But I felt sorry for her. I thought we would go to the hospital too, so I decided to go back and take her with us to the hospital. ' Peter narrate the whole thing. 'When we got to the hospital, I first took my wife
Mrs. Carlson slowly opened the door of the room. The woman sleeping in the bed reflected in the dark surroundings. Its deep breathing was listened to carefully in silence. He knew the woman was sound asleep. Probably tired of what was done wherever it went before. He has also been late for Madison's outing for a few nights. He knows it’s careful in action so he doesn’t matter but what it doesn’t know is that he sees its every move. She just waits long enough to let Arthur know everything is going on. He closed the door again and then silently went to the kitchen. He took the jar containing the sugar from the pantry and then pulled a small bottle out of his pocket. He mixed the white powder with the sugar and then shook the meat to make it thicker. He then covered it and returned it to the pantry. He also put away the small bottle and then threw it in the trash. He left the kitchen and then went to his own room to continue sleeping. ***'Let's meet this afternoon at three o'cloc
...Conrad just sighed because of what the woman said. He wanted to answer what she said but he knew to himself that he needed to lengthen the cord of his patience a little. After all, what shee said was true because he was in arrears. So even with the taste of the woman's anger, he still restrained himself. He would not allow the opportunity he had waited for so many hours to be lost because of her words. "Hey ..." He chased to block her path. "What is it that you want?" Glaring, she says. "If you don't leave me alone, I will call the cops and I will say you are harassing me." She even threatened him. "What?" He was stunned. "And why would I be harassing you? You're not my type and you're not that pretty either." He says. "Then, why are you following me? What do you need?" She placed her hands on the both side of her waist in front of him. "Let me tell you, I don't have time to fool around right now. So you better leave me alo--""I came here to apologize to you." She was cut
Madison went home still enraged by what had happened at the restaurant earlier. She was greeted by the astonished look of Mrs. Carlson but she just ignored her. She immediately went straight to her room and slammed the door shut. But instead of doing anything to release her anger, she just forced herself to calm down. In fact, she was not angry because she was fired, but because the reason was irrational. She could not have imagined that after more than a year of working there, only a man like that would destroy her credibility and reputation of her work. "I hate you!" She shouted remembering the man. In her mind, she had wanted to kill him several times. ***Conrad rolled his eyes inside the bar. He had been going back and forth there for two nights, so the bouncer and the bartender got familiar to him immediately. "Whiskey?" The bartender asked as he sat on the counter stool. "I prefer vodka tonight." He replied. In his mind, he wanted to estimate how much time he would spend
Wearing his casual clothes, a cap and his sunglasses, Jeff came out of the room he was occupying in that hotel. It was three o'clock in the afternoon so he knew the sun was not that hot outside. He had felt hungry earlier but he didn't bother to order from room service because he didn't like the food offered at the hotel restaurant. He took the elevator while wondering what food he could eat outside. When he reached the ground floor, as soon as the opening of the elevator where he was, also the opening of another elevator on the opposite side.Jeff furrowed his brows as he recognized the man exiting the elevator. Although he's not actually facing him, he knew he couldn’t be wrong, it was Conrad Younas.He got stunned for a moment as the flash of Siren's face crossed his mind. The same day when he revealed Conrad Younas’ connection to Siren’s pregnancy, was also the same day when the incident of Diana’s death and Siren’s disappearance occurred. For a moment he wanted to be suspicio
