THE INTERVIEW

She had never met the famous billionaire CEO before but she'd seen his pictures severally on the television and in magazines. He even had a section dedicated to him on the tabloids where his weekly activities as the co-CEO of Sheraton Group of Companies were discussed.

His father was the famous Gary Hamilton, who was popular for being among the richest businessmen in the city. Sheraton Group of Companies had grown over the years to surpass even the companies it had come to meet, SkyNet being one of them.

His name was Edmund Hamilton, the billionaire's only son and heir. He had a face that looked like it was carved by angels and a body that looked like it was sculpted by a god. She knew that much because she read his section on the tabloid every week and as she did so, she fantasised about being with him. But she knew it was a pipe dream. 

At twenty-five, Emily Peterson was a little above five feet with a slim, curvy body. Her skin had the exotic look of someone who had been out at the beach more than most. She had silky blonde hair that she often allowed to fall freely on her shoulders. A pair of clear ocean-blue eyes adorned her face.

The gossip blogs said that Edmund liked round, plump ladies. All his exes had been slightly overweight. She was a perfect figure eight, so she did not see him falling for her. She'd imagined meeting him many times and telling him how much she admired him but not even once had she conceived the idea that she would be meeting him for the first time to steal from him.

She did not know much about the document she'd been asked to steal, but she knew that it contained amongst other things, a list of rich clientele and their specific needs. Edmund had bought the document for almost ten million US dollars, an amount her father could not afford because SkyNet was sinking. The information on the document would change SkyNet's fortune and help pull it out of the financial ditch it was in. SkyNet was her future, and Emily Peterson was willing to do anything to save it. 

As she approached The Greenwood Estate, The building that housed Sheraton Group of Companies rose into the sky like a phoenix, beckoning on her to come to it. The skyscraper sat solidly on over two hundred hectares of land, overlooking the entire estate.

Emily brought her car to a slow stop at the driveway and killed the engine. Then, she opened the door and came down from the car. She was smartly dressed in a light pink two-piece Italian suit. Her hair was tied in a bun, making her round, oval face come out fully.

She'd done her makeup carefully and smeared her lips with hot red lipstick. She knew she looked stunning. Edmund would have no choice but to hire her for the job. The front of her blazer was left slightly open, revealing a generous part of her bosom. She'd pictured Edmund's eyes hovering hungrily at the two swelling moulds on her chest while he spoke to her. That would be enough motivation for him to hire her. 

She strode confidently to the door of the main building and met with the receptionist on the ground floor. She introduced herself with a sweet smile and was shown to Edmund's office on the sixth floor of the skyscraper. 

Emily's heart pounded faster as she prepared to enter his office. The nice redhead receptionist left her by the doorway. She had to make the rest of the journey herself. 

She knocked twice on the door and waited for a response. When there was none, she pulled the doorknob and entered. She met face-to-face with Edmund Hamilton. He lifted his eyes slowly to see who had just entered his office. And for a moment, Emily lost her voice and composure.

Seeing his face in real life for the first time, in a word, was thrilling. The world shook and her heart leaped. The moment was breathtaking. Edmund just sat there, staring straight at her, without blinking.

"Well?" Edmund said at last. He had a deep baritone voice. "Aren't you going to have your seat?" 

She'd known he was handsome, but nothing prepared her for this moment. He had the most devastating blue eyes to ever grace a human face. They were the sort of eyes that haunted a girl's dreams.

"You're here for the interview, right?" Edmund asked, narrowing his eyes at her.

"Uhm___Yes. Of course," She stammered. 

She slowly regained her composure and lowered herself to a seat before him. She looked around, taking stock of his office. Edmund's voice drew her attention back to himself. 

"What is your name?" He inquired.

"Gina Parker," She said with a small smile. 

She'd prepared a fake name and forged fake documents to support her claim. Before Edmund ever found out that they were fake, she would have already completed her mission and left him alone. 

"Tell me, Gina Parker," Edmund said, knitting his brows, "What makes you fit to be my personal assistant? And do you have any previous experience at the job?"

Emily's eyes flickered seductively at him.

"My specialties include, among other things, organising and putting things in order. I assume a man of your status needs someone who can keep things in order at his office while he goes about his daily activities."

Edmund was listening with rapt attention, looking genuinely interested. 

"I've had the privilege of working as a personal assistant for two of my former bosses," Emily continued, encouraged by his seemingly interested look, "I only left my last job because I had to pursue my master's degree in school."

Edmund nodded, looking impressed. He gave her a tight-lipped smile and scribbled something down on a book that was lying before him.

Then, he looked up suddenly and said, "Okay, Gina. That will be all. You can leave your CV with me. I'll look at it later and get back to you."

Emily froze, taken completely by surprise by his words. That was it? She didn't have the luxury of time to wait until he got back to her. And what if he didn't? Her father needed the document ASAP. She had to find a way to get it.

She'd not realized just how far gone she was in her thoughts until Edmund called her out of it.

"Is there a problem?" He asked, a skeptical look crossing his face.

Emily's eyes drifted back to him at once. She plastered a flirty smile on her face and ran her hands smoothly on her chin. 

"Uhm___Sir," She said, eying him seductively, "How about I give you another reason why I'm fit for this job?" She winked at him, "What do you say?"

For a moment, it looked like Edmund Hamilton was infuriated by her words. A spark appeared in his eyes, making them look fiery. Emily was beginning to regret the drastic measure she'd taken when something unexpected happened.

He slid his hands underneath the table and pulled out a card from his drawer. Then, he pushed it across to her.

Emily took one look at the card and her eyes lit up. She knew that her plan had worked. She looked up to find Edmund's eyes glued on her.

"See you at 7 pm, Gina," He said with a wistful smile.

    Her heels rattled down the hallway as she tried to find his way to her room. The receptionist downstairs had been more than ready to let her into his room. Not surprising. The billionaire playboy must have frequented this place with numerous women whom he barely knew their names.It's just a mission, Emily told herself as she approached The room. All I have to do is have sex with him and secure my place as his personal assistant, steal from him and leave him forever. He's never even going to see it coming. She had no idea how much longer she would keep crossing paths with Edmund Hamilton. She reached the door that had the number on the card that the receptionist had given to her. Emily lingered for a moment, preparing herself for what she was getting into.Her cheeks burned and a lump settled on her throat. What if he didn't like her? She pushed the thoughts away a moment later and slid the card before the sensor. The door hissed open. She was not at all ready for the first image she

    Somewhere behind the fence bordering Pinnacle Hotels and the broad road that spread outside of it, a man stood on a ladder behind the fence, leaning forward to look through the pair of binoculars he held.He squinted his eyes as he looked, but he saw nothing. About an hour ago, she'd entered into the hotel and had since not returned. Something was going on.He grabbed his cell phone from his pocket at once and began to place a call. The line rang twice before someone answered."Hello," The horse voice on the other line said, almost whispering. "Edmund is here, sir," The man said, "And so is Emily Peterson, Gary Peterson's daughter. Earlier, she'd also been at the office with Edmund. Do you think that's a coincidence?"He heard a quick jolt on the line."I'm afraid not," The hoarse voice responded. "Coincidences like this are not common."The man nodded in affirmation. "What should I do? Should I take the hit?""No!" The man on the other side of the line said hurriedly, "Keep an eye

    "Dad, I'm telling you, this is going to work," Emily said, leaning forward to stare directly at her father while she spoke. The old man looked unconvinced. His brows furrowed and his face was distorted by a small frown. "Edmund is smart, Emily," he said at last, rubbing a hand on his temple. "I know you have a genius plan but you also need a backup plan to fall back to. I wouldn't want this backfiring on us." Emily heaved a deep breath and leaned back in her seat. Her shoulders fell, deflated. Unconsciously, her mind wandered back to the events of the previous night down to this morning. Edmund had been such a sweet lover. They connected in ways that were unexplainable at least to the human senses. They'd only just met, and yet, it felt like she'd known him forever. She was not supposed to feel this way for him, but she did. And it made her feel guilty, because there was another lover, one whom she was not ready to let go of. She convinced herself for the umpteenth time that it wa

    She squinted at him at once, her eyes demanding an explanation. "What happened? How did the meeting go?" He exhaled heavily and sat up on his seat. "Well, Gary kicked against the idea I pitched to him. He seems convinced that my ideas are not good enough for SkyNet." "I was afraid that that was going to happen," Emily piped in," She sighed, "Gary is a difficult man to understand." "Let's get out of here," Edmund mumbled. He was already rising to his feet. His towering frame stood over Emily, urging her to join him. She joined him a moment later and together, they walked out of the premises and jumped into Edmund's Porsche that was parked outside in the driveway. Edmund started the engine and the car skimmed into the city, gunning past tall buildings and shady trees that lined the road. They did not talk for the rest of the drive. Edmund stopped before the building that housed Sheraton Group of companies and killed the engine of the car. He snapped his head towards Emily at once

    She glanced up at the figure approaching her. A smile formed on her lips. Jason smiled when he saw her. He was wearing a maroon-colored tuxedo over a grey suit. Jason was attractive in his own way; average hieght, strong jaw, lapis-blue eyes and a map of thick black Celtic curls. Months ago, she'd thought he was the most handsome man alive, then she'd met Edmund. He stopped before her and regarded her for a moment. "You know you haven't aged one bit since the last time I saw you." Emily's smile broadened. "Come here, you." She threw herself into his arms, engulfing him in a warm embrace. He lifted her in the air and pressed his body onto hers. When the excitement had washed over, he dropped her on the floor with a thud. Necks turned to stare. They were standing before an enormous skyscraper that housed the hotel where Jason was staying at. He put his hand on hers and dragged her along with him into the building. Once inside, Jason led the way. He stopped before a table by the w

    "I want you to move in with me when I get a house." Those words reechoed in her head as she stepped into her office. They'd haunted her dreams the past night and were about to ruin her day now. That was Jason's request from her the previous night. She'd said she would think about it, but that was a lie. She couldn't think about it. Her office looked exactly the same as it was since she left it the previous day. She was yet to furnish it to her taste, but that was the least of her problems right now. Heaving a dire sigh, Emily slumped onto the executive seat before the table and leaned back on it, allowing her whole body to relax. A moment later, the door swung open and Edmund stood before her. He was not smiling. "Morning," he greeted. "Good morning, sir," Emily said, sitting up at once. He glanced at his wristwatch and returned his eyes to her. "You're late, Emily. Why are you late?" She wetted her lips and swallowed hard. "I---I'm sorry, sir," she stammered. "That is not

    Edmund veered the car towards the next street. He was racing against time and hoping that he made it. From the moment he received the message from her father's nurse that he was back in town, he'd not been the same.Mr. Tyler Hamilton or simply, The Bull, as he was known by the majority of workers in his company was his father. Tyler Hamilton was a greying man in his sixties that was gradually getting close to losing his marbles. He was erratic and spontaneous at best and often liked things to go his own way.When Tyler Hamilton was not travelling around the world on some luxurious holiday, he was squandering the money he'd made in the days of his youth at casinos and clubhouses. He got through with hookers the same way other men got through with socks. It was one of the reasons his marriage with his mother was suffering.Despite Tyler Hamilton's reckless lifestyle, he surprisingly had very high moral standards which he did not live up to. Growing up, Edmund had always thought of him

    He could not keep his mind off her the entire night and when he woke up the next morning, she was the first person he thought of. He tried to envisage her in his eyes. She was blonde and full-breasted, with the soft-milky skin of a child. His body tingled as he thought about her. He could not believe that at a dire time like this, such a mundane thought crossed his mind.Emily Peterson! There was something uniquely compelling about her, something beyond her beauty and made-for-sex body that had haunted his dreams from the first day they'd had sex. He hoped to find out what that special thing was soon. But first, he had to secure her help.The next morning, he went to the office earlier than usual. His troubled heart would not allow him to sleep the whole eight hours. He was mer with the sleepy-eyed receptionist when he arrived. She shot up her head in surprise when she saw him and greeted him.

It was barely a week into her engagement and the soles of her feet had stepped into more bridal shops than she'd stepped into restaurants in her entire life.It wasn't exactly her fault. Jason wanted a quick wedding. The wait was killing him and he needed the wedding to be over and dine with in no time. He'd reintroduced her to his family and his mother had even begun warming up to her, despite her earlier cold feelings towards her.Emily wasn't sure whether it was the universe that was tired of seeing her suffering and had decided to make things better for her or it was just purely out of merit but whatever it was, she was grateful for it.Today, she was going to go with Mia and her soon-to-be mother-in-law, Mrs. Wendy Campbell to yet another boutique that had a bridal shop to pick a wedding dress.The boutique was owned by one of Mrs. Campbell's influential friends. She was going to take the ladies there to show them around and also catch up

    Seeing Edmund jump down from his jeep and advancing towards her like some maniac made her blood to suddenly stop flowing. She stood rooted at the spot and plotted her next move.Directly across from her, Jason was standing on his own, waiting for her. No matter the direction that Edmund came from, he was going to see him.There was no need to run away. Edmund didn't look like he was going to back away easily. The only decision she now saw was to stand back and contend with him or maybe reason with him.They didn't have to cause a scene here. In fact, if Edmund cooperated, no one would have to know what the problem with them was.As Edmund continued to take quick strides to reach her, all her hopes of reasoning with him evaporated into thin air.Edmund didn't look anything like the Edmund she knew. He wore nothing else but a fades shirt that shouldn't have been seen outside and a pair of trousers that were at least two sizes smaller than him.He looked even worse. His facial hair was s

    All around the garden, black umbrellas formed pinnacle of covering over the over hundred people that had come to witness the lowering of her coffin to the ground.It was unarguably the most horrifying scene that Emily had ever witnessed. It was hard to just stand there and not shed tears while the burial proceedings for Dre Sinclair who was amongst other things, her friend was ongoing. She thought she had her acts together all this time. Not even when the priest had delivered a pitiful sermon about how people ought to lead good lives when they were alive so that when they died like Dre had just done, their spirit would not be filled with regret, had Emily shed a single tear.The high point of the event was when everyone was led to the graveside, dug in the middle of a beautiful garden. It was just the kind of place that Dre would have wanted to rest in, had she been alive to make her decision. A place filled with so much calmness and serenity, where she would forever commune with th

    The man slipped out of the door unnoticed, feet barely touching the ground as he struggled to make it out of there without making a sound.Just a few meters away behind him, Jerry Ishag's body lay lifeless, his face bent over on the table. He'd died with tears rolling down his face.A part of him felt guilty for what he'd done but there was no undoing his action neither was there another option. It was a dog-eat-dog world. You either ate or got eaten. If he chose to disobey the order that had come for him to kill Jerry, that would be him signing his death warrant with his own hands.It was best to obey and stay alive to fight another day. The image of Jerry lying helplessly while the poison worked inside his body, killing him slowly was certainly going to haunt him for life. But Andre had no regrets, only guilt. Even if he'd refused to get the job done, another person would have been hired to finish Jerry off once and for all. And afterwards, come after him.By killing him, he'd save

    Charlotte arrived breathlessly at his door. It'd taken a lot of guys to admit to her fault and finally make the trip here but in the end, she decided that it was all worth it. She was never really welcome back at Edmund's house anyway. At least here, she had a man that loved her, a man that wanted to be with her and most of all, a man that was determined to take care of her.Those were things that Edmund could never ever do for her. So, her fall was a blessing in disguise. At least now she'd get to love her truth and loving her truth wasn't as hard as the lies she'd been trying to keep up with all along.She didn't bother to knock on his door. He barely went anywhere these days. He just stayed at home and read all the books on his shelf. When she was around, they would make love from sunrise to sunset.As happy as she was about this new development, she still had her doubts about the new life that he'd adopted for himself. Would he be able to take care of her if he continued to live

    Outside, Emily could barely focus on the road that lay ahead or any other thing for that matter. It was hard to focus on anything knowing that she could be in the police cell any minute.The idea of trusting Edmund to keep everything that had happened between them simply did not appeal to her. He wasn't just going to allow her to get away with everything she'd done.That's why she needed to clean up her mess and get out of town. This town had taken so much from her. Now, all she wanted to do was stay far away from it and count her losses.In reflective moments such as these, Emily couldn't help but think about how lonely her life had just gotten. With Dre dead and Mia grieving, there was really nobody else to talk to.Well, except for Jason who'd gotten so busy with work that he barely had time for her anymore. There was also her father. But surely, he too would be busy with work.Emily was in the mood to throw in a surprise on her old man. She didn't bother to think about it or call

    She struggled to breathe but the stubborn burning sensation in her chest was so great that every attempt to breathe made her feel a lot worse than before.Everyone was looking down at her on the floor, waiting for her to say something, to clear the air and to answer all the questions that they had, both the ones that were said and the ones that weren't said yet. But the most demanding of them all was Edmund, maybe because she was betrayed on a very personal level. He refused to give in to her show of being hurt and continued to probe her to know what was going on."I'm sorry I lied," she said, making an effort to speak. "I didn't mean to lie. And I'm very sorry about it. ""What do you mean by you didn't mean to lie?" Edmund probed. "You did what you did with very clear eyes, so why are you pretending that it was a mistake now?" He rose from his squatting position, scratched his head rather roughly and paced to the end of the room. When he returned, he faced Charlotte squarely in the

    From the first day he was arrested and brought in here, his hope had wavered. For people like him that weren't worth a ransom, no one would even notice he was missing and no one would come looking for him.The only thing Jerry Iahag now lived for was to know the truth. The moment he knew the truth about who sold him out and punished the offender accordingly, he would gladly tell the truth and accept whatever penalties went with it.But he was quite sure of one thing. He wasn't going down this path alone. It was either he brought everyone else who was involved down with him or he told the truth and struck a deal with the detectives, a deal that would allow him to return to the outside world again, to hunt down whoever had betrayed him.But with Andre's presence in the station, his hopes were restored. He suddenly didn't look forward to dying anymore. Like an animal who'd been caged for too long, he longed for freedom. He longed to breathe the air outside the walls of the police station

    About thirty miles away, an unknown visitor slipped into the premises of the police station. Dressed in a pair of khaki shorts and a blue UCLA T-shirt, he looked very ordinary.But there was nothing ordinary about this man. His name was Andre Anderson and he was a very well-known friend of Jerry Ishag who was still being held in the station.Today, however, he was not there at the police station as Jerry Ishag's friend. He was there as a traitor, ready to perform the last act of betrayal to his friend.Getting into the station was made very easy as he'd had access to the map of the entire building and chosen to go through the places which were less guarded than the others. He got in noiselessly, slipping in like he was invisible. Taking the front door was suicidal as there would be many officers waiting to receive him. But Andre had a better plan. There were two main doors in the station. One opened up at the entrance of the building while the other one was at the rear of it.He chos
