"Greg, is anything the matter?" Officer Gabby asked immediately if he answered the call. "You had one job and you couldn't do it properly" Greg barked angrily. How could he let that officer belittle him like that. "I don't understand Greg, what are you talking about?" Gabby asked in return. "Just now Elizabeth and I were being questioned by your officers, I thought I told you to close Richard's case?" Greg narrated. "What! That is impossible" Gabby replied, banging his fist on the table. "So am I lying then? Is that what you are trying to say?" Greg threw back. "If what you are saying is true, I will get to the root of it and give you feedback" Gabby said, ending the call abruptly. "Fucking bastard " Greg cursed out loud. "What did he say?" Elizabeth asked. "He will get back to us," Greg answered in annoyance. Greg drove Elizabeth back to the house as they got ready for a party hosted by one of the elite members of the society. Mrs Wilson Greg mother was invited along with h
Chapter 73.“Greg, don't you believe me?” Elizabeth asked, crying.“Give me something to believe in, Elizabeth, what am I supposed to believe?” Greg yelled in return.“You can't trust those reports Greg, I was pregnant with your child, but I had a miscarriage,” Elizabeth insisted in a shaky voice.“Enough with those lies, at first, you blamed Megan for everything, and then you lied you had a miscarriage, but this is on you Elizabeth and you are going to admit it” Greg retorted.“Greg…” Elizabeth trailed off; she was completely confused and short of words, different thoughts running through her dreadful mind.How did the reports get to Greg's hand?What was she going to say, and how was she going to get herself out of this fucking mess?Greg was fuming with anger and when he saw that Elizabeth was still quiet, he grabbed her by the arm, pushing her to the wall.“Give me an answer, Elizabeth, did you know that I have azoospermia? Did you fake your pregnancy? Was all these between us a l
Chapter 75. “You're still working on that case, aren't you?”. Officer Gabby asked, peering over the stack of files on Officer Fin's desk. The file at the top had ‘Richard’s murder case’ boldly written on it. “I know you asked me to stay away from this case but I can't” “The case has been closed, Fin, knock this out. Give yourself a break”. Officer Fin only adjusted his glasses and kept on with what he was doing. He was determined to carry on with the case even if it went against the orders from his superior. He couldn't understand why Gabby was trying so hard to push this case under the rug when the poor man deserved justice. “Mind you, you're new here and I suppose you don't wanna get on my bad side”. Officer Gabby Threatened. “My gut tells me otherwise”. Officer Fin pored over the file in front of him. “I talked to Greg and Elizabeth, and I am aware you are in possession of the evidence, why won't you submit it for proper investigation?” “That is none of your business, Fin!

Meanwhile at the party.....Greg pulled Elizabeth by the arm, dragging her out of the event hall, Mrs. Wilson was fuming and embarrassed at the same time, but Greg couldn't care less.When they got outside, Elizabeth refused to get in the car, “We are going home Elizabeth, you don't have an option" Greg stated.“First you pulled me all the way here like an animal, and now you are going to force me to go back with you?” Elizabeth threw back.All these while Mrs. Wilson remained silent, she kept quiet, but everything still felt like a shock to her, she was extremely furious. But seeing Elizabeth behaving in a crude way triggered her. “Elizabeth, you have said enough, and you have done enough, do you want to disgrace us further, you want to cause a scene outside here as well”.You know very well I warned you not to lie to me, but you deceived me. What insolence.Elizabeth threw her face away like Mrs. Wilson wasn't talking to her.“Greg, let her be, leave her here and let's go home, " M
In all misery Megan was having a better time. Alex was a cold person. He had his guard up and built a wall around himself. He was always okay in his cocoon never bothering about anything else, especially after his previous experiences.He was used to the solitude but there was something about Megan that caught his attention. It made his walls slowly start cracking.“Thank you for agreeing to this”. Alex said in a gentle voice. “Thank you for accepting to go on this date with me” he said again.“Only because you helped me with the video” A small smile appeared on Megan's lips and Alex realised why his guard was about to be let down. Why did his cold heart start warming up?Maybe it was Megan's bright smile, the way it lit up a room and made his heart skip a beat. Whatever it was, he found himself wanting to be around her more and more, wanting to see her smile and hear her laugh every day. He wanted to be the one to make her laugh every single day.“Regardless, I thought I was going to
Detective Ben was Megan's secret detective. He glanced at the picture on his screen again to be sure it was the same person. The lady sitting across from him was the same person on the screen, the same lady Elizabeth was talking to a few hours ago.The lady snivelled, cleaning her tears continuously. Ben waited for her to calm down before he started his enquiries. After Megan had tipped him that something was off about Elizabeth's company that was about to be launched, he stationed his men around her. He had already disappointed her with Hailey's investigation and he didn't want that to happen again.One of them sent the picture a few hours ago. He hurried over to meet her after she was led to the café by his underlings. The lady finally stopped crying and picked up the coffee Infront of her, gulping down half of the content."Are you okay now?" "A bit better." She replied, glancing around nervously."Don't fret, it is safe here. So tell me about your argument with Ms Elizabeth" He
Megan went through the papers Detective Ben left on the table, she was excited to see the defeated look that will be on Elizabeth's face once her deeds are revealed. Hopefully, she will be a bit remorseful for causing someone pain this time. It was late but she couldn't wait to see Alex and informed him about her findings. She decided to call him first, knowing fully well that the man might still be in his office, overworking as usual. Alex picked up on the second ring. "Hi" "Missed me?" "Where are you? I have to see you now" Megan ignored his teasing. "Just rounding up for the day" Megan could hear the clicking of his keyboard from the background. "I'm coming over, wait for me" she disconnected the call before he could stop her. Alex wasn't expecting to see her so soon. They literally just got off the phone about fifteen minutes ago and she was in his office already. Megan walked over, excited to tell him everything she found out dark haired man pulled her onto his lap for a
