“DADDY!”The twins call in excitement and run toward Sam who just arrived and panting. He just went into a sprint and was in a hurry to arrive at the hospital. “Speaking of the devil.”Doctor Lee whispers with a sinister smile drawn to her face and winks at Cath. A bit puzzled, she just let everything flow and see what will about to happen. “Monique, Cole, are you alright?”Sam immediately asks his twins and looking at their bruises and wounds worries him more. Worse he is now disappointed and angry by what happened. “Did those boys get their punishment?” He quickly follows with another one and immediately looks at Cath with a mixed expression of anger, worry, and disappointment. “Cath, what happened, did you—”“Hold your horses for a bit daddy.”Monique quickly stops him with her little hands in front of him in a commanding way, rather than a request. “First of all, both I and Cole are alright. We have a few bruises and Cole with some wounds and two, but Doctor Lee is done examin
“FOOLS!”Governor Charles Gideon screams, slamming the table with both of his hands and throwing the stack of documents from his table. “I apologize Sir.”The bodyguard of his son Cedric apologizes. “I failed to watch over the young master and prevented such a thing from happening.”He poorly explains while holding his breath from time to time knowing the punishment that is like hell that he is about to have. “Stupid! I do not want your apology, go and make yourself useful. Do your freaking job!”Charles commanded in his deep and angry voice. Shouting at his employee and pointing his finger to the door that his son’s bodyguard immediately heeded. “You are all useless!”He continues to scream, throwing everything he sees in front of him. Shows his dominance, anger, and disappointment that his close employees and those who are afraid to cross him know him. “You know that nothing will be solved with that kind of attitude.”A sexy blonde woman enters his office. Locking the door with
“WELCOME BACK EVERYONE.”“Nanny Ester, everyone!”The twins cheer in delight after seeing the old woman nanny Ester greeting them in front of the mansion with all of the housemaids in two. “You are all here and already?” Monique asks in surprise and gladness before the two of them Cole looks back at their gran-gran expecting an explanation and two. Yet, rather a confirmation that they wanted to hear from her. “Mom?”Sam asks Adriella in surprise. Thinking of what just his mother ate and she changes her mind about letting Cath clean the entire mansion as her test and what she initially planned. “Does this mean, mommy, pass your test gran-gran?”The little girl excitedly asks with a bit of a squeal that Adriella is no surprise to here from her witty granddaughter. “What do you think?”She teases a bit. Especially that all along she knew that her grandchildren and her daughter Lindsey is helping Cath all this time by giving her the advice that she needed to win her approval. “Is th
‘IS SHE CHEATING ON ME?’The only thing that’s currently running inside Sam’s mind for almost an hour now since she heard Cath talking secretively on her phone. “That’s impossible.”He rationalizes. Calming his nerves weighing the facts and the possibility of things. “She wouldn’t do it. I am just overthinking a bit. I shouldn’t jump on the gun. Right?”Worse than convincing and trying to make things make sense for him. Sam is turning his mind into disarray and more than how chaotic it is right now. “Cath is not like what you are thinking, you know her.”He whispers to himself and might as well turn into a crazy one. He’s walking back and forth in the same spot and in a straight line that could straight up turn anyone dizzy just by looking at him. “Damn! This is driving me nuts!”Now having a headache and two and have been in the dilemma for an hour. Sam completely forgot his work and the pile of documents that he needed to go through for the day. “I should have spied on her.” He
“ONE thing that you need to know young lady. This job is unlike any other, if you are thinking that this is like a walk in the park then you are dead wrong.”The warning that Cath receives from the best detective in the entire police department of division seven. A kind of insult that she isn’t fun of hearing that is underestimating her. “First of all, I am not a young lady. Never wore any fancy dress to present myself like those dolly rich girls out there.”Cath emphasizes, contradicting the detective’s words with the stance of shutting everyone who is looking down on her. “Second, I didn’t choose my profession today to be scared of a mere gunshot.”She added, grabbing the disassembled gun in front of her and swiftly assembling it like a pro in minutes. “And third, do not dare look at me as a lady reporter and underestimate my skills.”Immediately pulled the trigger and fired directly on the dummy target a few feet from their location in the practice shooting field of division sev
“LOVE?”Jun smirks, taking the conversation to be the funniest and silliest thing he ever heard in his entire life. Even though he is always asking about the matter. “I do not have the time for that.”He briefly explains and drops the case like it was nothing and not even worth talking about for a second. “You do not have the time?” Nadia asks in a tone that is both intriguing and teasing him. Knowing that he knew more than anyone else why he is acting all reserved about the topic. “Why?” Nadia added. “Because you are this country’s best detective and had many things at hand to even think about it for a second.”She hides the term with its pronoun knowing how sensitive Jun is regarding the topic. Yet, she is a journalist, and a journalist had the habit of pocking into someone’s business especially if it is interesting enough to be sold. “What are you pointing out about Nadia?”Jun asks in a serious and a bit of a dismayed tone. But Nadia is not having any of it, and for being use
“I will be gone for quite some time. Make sure that everything is in proper order while I am gone. Report everything to me and keep the documents of the cases that I need to take from the very urgent ones done to the petty ones, understood?”Jun directed and commanded his assistant officer and current partner. While he keeps everything inside his office secure and takes the necessary documents that he needed and fast. “Yes sir!”His young partner, but capable junior detective Harry Jones replies with a hand salute toward him. “Sir may I ask where you will be for the days of your absence, sir!”Still, a bit stiff and needs working and a lot of practical experience. Jun shove those annoying contextual characters and expressions of Harry in the meantime. Especially since he is in a hurry for a very important case. “I’ll inform you everything once I had it all under control.”Eyes wide and Harry knew that his senior detective and direct superior had a big and dangerous case up on his s
“THIS is trouble,”Cath whispers to herself while looking at the news clippings, online news articles, and some video interviews about Governor Charles Gideon. “But he is doing the same pattern that he does back then.”Her studies confirm her theory and are well aware of the Governor’s work. “Trouble indeed, but I will not let him do as he pleases.”Determine in a way that Cath knew that Governor Gideon will have her investigated after what happened concerning the kids. With the Governor's background and the truth that she knows about him, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Governor is planning something sinister right now. “But I need my files in this case.” Influenced by her days as the journalist partner of the now-renowned detective. Cath is in her ways of assessing things like a pro in the field that dare to be for the sake of her career. “Then.”She then looks around the room that she made into a makeshift investigation office with the largest clipboard with all the informati
