"You guys done yet?" Kira asked"We never started anything" I said facing her at the back"If you say so but Elliot's car is still locked" Kira said"Oh sorry I didn't realize I'm used to being the only one in the car" he said with a light chuckle while he unlocked the doors"Thanks for bailing Diana out today we appreciate if not for you she would still be there" Bianca said laughing and she opened the door to alight from the car"Ok now I wish I was the one that bailed her out" Elliot said"What do you mean you wish? Weren't you the one that bailed her out?" Kira asked confused as she also alighted from the car"C'mon guys I'll tell you when we get inside," I said and I also finally got out of the car but I mouthed a thank you before I got off while he nodded"Bye," we all said and he zoomed off"So much for a day damn I need a shower," I said shaking my head and proceeded to the house"Being a while here" I heard Bianca say"I'm so gon crash when I get inside" Kira also said"I kno
"Coming!" I replied"You heard that so dress up and meet us downstairs" "come in Bi let's move" I said signaling to Bianca"Hey wait for me" Kura shouted and hurriedly throw the towel on the bed"Hey pick that up" I demanded"The food is not running away" Bianca said closed the door then we went to meet Ary"What's for dinner" I asked Ary that was sitting on the couch"Nothing special just the norms" She said"Sandwiches?" I guessed"Yup that's right" She said sighing I went to pick my plate of sandwiches and went to sit on the couch and so did Bianca"Where is Kira" Ary asked"She's still dressing up she should be almost done by now" Bianca replied while I munch my sandwich"I'm here" we heard her shout"Oh there she is" Bianca said"Ok there you go" Ary said and handed the last sandwich to Kira"Won't you eat?" I asked since I couldn't see any sandwich left "I've eaten before you guys came in" she said"Oh ok" "Hope you guys are enjoying the food I'm sorry but that's all we can af
"Did you say one of you was arrested?" She said again and I was shocked to see her "thought she went to sleep already," I said in my mind because I wasn't planning to tell her anything"No none of us got arrested we were just talking about the movie we saw on her way back" Kira lied"You guys went out to see a movie?" She asked surprised"Yeah Bianca's treat" She lied again"Yup it's my treat" Bianca said shooting daggers through her eyes at Kira"Oh, that's nice. I see you guys are enjoying yourself; just be careful out there," she said. "Yes ma'am" Bianca replied"I thought you already went to bed," I said to her and as well finishing up the dishes"Yeah came out cause I needed water" she said showing me the glass of water she had in her hand and then gulping it down her throat"I was about to drink when I heard something about jail stuff so I was scared," She said"Oh," I said and chuckled"Well I'm done here too," I said signalling to the girls to let go back to my room"Oh good
"What do you mean that's Ari's name" He also asked surprised"Yeah Ary Ariah," I said"But this doesn't make sense," I said"Yeah, but the cop did say they found two ID cards in the purse, though, so we don't know who is who", he said while I just nodded and continued searching this time thoroughly for more reasons why I needed to find some information about the body. After some moments I found a file which I guess belonged to the case so I dusted it and brought it out"I think I found something," I said and placed the file on a table I brought out the papers and checked out what was insideFace Identified: Sarah JordanMarital status: unknownFather: unknownMother: unknownSiblings: 1Husband: Not marriedChildren: nillHeight: 5'6Death type: Homicide"Come take a look at this El" I called out to him"What's that" he said and came over to where I was and also read through the file"Looks like they found out who she was already but how could they have found out so much information s
"What?" I said "fuck I wasn't expecting that," I said in my mind"Yeah we didn't do anything" Elliot said in our defense"You tell that when we get to our office," He said and took us to the car we tried explaining to him that we didn't do anything but he wasn't listening looks like it was a bad day for him and it Elliot's involvement wasn't helping looks like he was already on their bad side so it made things a lil bit worse. And that was how we ended up at the police station"Whoa," Kira said"Good thing it's all settled now," Bianca said"Yup glad it did" I said"But how did Ary's purse end up with her?" Bianca asked"That's what I don't understand," I said"But Ary said her purse was stolen," Kira said"But she doesn't look like someone from the street," I said"Or maybe she's a godmother or what else will she be doing with a stolen purse"Kira said"She might be the one that stole it and ended up in some bad stuffs that led to her death since Ary didn't really see who stole it we
Kira POV"Are you awake yet?" I asked Bianca who seemed to be half awake but I didn't get a response"I guess not," I said sighing I kept looking up with my hands folded to the back of my head staring at the ceilings "I'm awake" I hear Bianca say tiredly"Argh Finally someone is awake you guys were sleeping like you're not going to wake up again " I lamented out of anger"We were just really tired Kira, but how come you are awake so early in the morning?" Bianca asked rubbing her eyes with the back of her palm like she still wanted to go back to sleep only if she knew what the time says"Early, you say. Do you know what the time is? But I guess not" I asked"10 o'clock maybe?" She asked"Oh you wish it's fucking twelve already" I said rolling my eyes"Oh my goodness, I can't believe I slept that long and I haven't eaten," She said and held her grumbling tummy"We slept late so that's worth the sleep," I told her"Since when have you been awake?" She asked"I don't know, eleven, maybe
Diana POV"Geez" I can't believe I almost injured myself with the door. Thank goodness she didn't see that after I left the room I went straight to the living room and sat down for a minute. Shortly after I decided to go check up on Ary in her room and maybe tell her about what happened yesterday depending on the situation I met her in"Oh God, I still feel sleepy; I don't know why Kira woke me up," I said and walked sluggishly to her room. "Knock knock" I knocked on her door yawning but there was no reply"Maybe she's still sleeping" I concluded and left the door"Wait a minute, didn't Bianca say it was afternoon already? It's not possible she's still sleeping" I said and turned back to her room"No no wait, what is she's sleeping I might end up disturbing her sleep and she's not going to spare me if I did" I said and turned back again fearing her scolding"Just a check won't hurt not that I'm going to make any noise or anything," I said to myself and then summoned the courage to wa
"Diana where are you" I hear Bianca call out to me and I hurriedly closed the wooden cover and went outside to meet her"Hey Bianca what's up," I said and she turned to face me"Oh yeah where were you been looking for ya" she said"Still in the house all good?" I asked"Yeah just curious since I couldn't find you anything much" She said and we sat down"Yeah being wanting to ask hole you're good staying here I mean you know my life hasn't always been like this so if you're not comfortable with anything you can tell me I'll try my best to make it happen," I said to her"Are you kidding Diana it's cool here yeah it's not all fancy and all the expensive stuffs are not here for you, not the house nor the expensive stuffs and I know it's all for a small period of time it will all get better soon I know it?" Bianca said holding my shoulder and giving me a reassuring smile "Aww thanks, Bianca," I said and smiled at her then pulled her into a hug to hide my teary eyes "It's okay Diana every
"How can you forgive me?" Ethan said with his face full of regrets"I can't believe this? I know you aren't my daughter but-- but I didn't know you belonged to my brother, I don't know I was doing this to my blood" He said "Oh wow so you knew I wasn't your daughter?" I asked but he did reply"Wow" I said sobbing a little"Please forgive me" he said holding my hands apologizing but I tried to jerk my hand away apologizing"You ruined my life Dad" I said to him"I'm sorry" He said holding back his tears"You killed my mother, your brother's wife, ain't you human too? Huh? How can you end someone's life just like that, ain't you even afraid?" I asked sobbing"I just wish I can correct everything" my dad said bowing his head"You can if you tell us all your plans" Elliot said and my Dad raised up his head and agreed to tell us everything they planned.******"So all you have to do is make her think she's still in control of the game then we'll double cross her" Ethan said explaining his
The office was huge and well decorated.This office is designed to feel like a home, featuring a blend of comfort and functionality. Soft ambient lighting fills the space, creating a cozy atmosphere. Instead of traditional desks, there are spacious, stylish tables scattered around the room, adorned with laptops and personal touches of decorative items. Comfortable chairs and sofas replace typical office furniture, inviting a more relaxed work environment. The walls are decorated with artwork and shelves hold a mix of professional resources and personal mementos. A small kitchenette and coffee station adds to the homely vibe, making the office a welcoming and unconventional workspace. It looked more like a home than an office. I told William about everything that I found out and how I've lived my life ever since I left Athens and he listened carefully as I spoke. "I'm sorry you had to find out about everything like this" William apologized"Yeah, I'm glad it wasn't too late" I said a
As I held the pen, signing the transfer papers that relinquished control of my mother's company, my tear-filled eyes betrayed the deep sorrow within. The weight of the decision imposed upon me felt like an unbearable burden, and each stroke of the pen seemed to etch a painful farewell. With tears streaming down her face, each pen stroke felt like a painful acknowledgement of the sacrifices and tireless efforts that had gone into crafting the business. The weight of familial legacy being passed on unwillingly hung heavy in my heart. With so tears rolling gently I signed the papers with a heavy heart"Finally!!!!" Ary said, laughing so hard, snatching the papers from me. "It's all finally mine after all this years" Ary said laughing triumphantly"See that wasn't so hard?" She said looking at the papers with her"Thanks for this" Ary said and pointed the gun to my dad's head"What are you doing I already signed the papers" I said panicking"Yeah Brit what are you doing" My dad also s
"You killed him already what else could you gain, you killed the man that offended you why not let us live in peace" I shouted at her"This is not only about revenge anymore, this is greediness, you're fucking greedy, jealous that my mother had everything you've ever wished for, jealous she had the love and care that you were denied, you were fucking jealous cause she was happy" I yelled at her and she slapped me really hard on my cheeks and tears fell down from my eyes"You can slap me all you want but that won't change the truth, you are a murderer, a cold blooded murder, Britney Roberts YOU ARE A MURDERER" I shouted at her"ENOUGH" She shouted closing her ears with her palms"Yes I'm a murderer so what, it's nothing new right now I've had enough of your games" She said and went to the table beside her and brought out what looked like a pistol. And my heart skipped a beat at the sight of the gun"You called me a murderer right? Now let me show you how cruel I can be" She said pointi
"Full of rage he destroyed his office feeling betrayed by Marc. But without telling Britney, Ethan made a plan to kidnap you (Diana) so he can blackmail Ariela into signing the company to him. but Ariela,your mother discovered the whole truth before Elliot could carry out his plan. Your mother was pained by Ethan's betrayal so she threatened to go report all his misdeeds and that of Britney at the police station. On hearing this Ethan had to let Britney in on the matter since it was out of his control then she decided to have Ariela killed on her way to the police station to prevent her from exposing her and she staged an accident like she did with your grandparents all with Ethan's help.""But before Ariela died they managed to get her thumb print on the transfer. But unknowingly to them while Ariela was on her way to the police station seeing that her life was in danger she already made an emergency call to her lawyer that if anything should happen to her at all, the properties shou
"No uncle, if you go papa might be mad hug if I go hell surely answer me I'm his angel and mama was his wife so he wouldn't let get suffer so you stay here and take care of my sister and mama till I'm back with the money" Little Britney said to me and I hugged her tightly and sobbed gently"So Ary wasn't bad from the beginning?" I asked Raymond and he looked confused"I mean Britney" I said correcting myself"No, she was a sweet little child." Raymond said and continued talking"Britney did as she said and went to the Cohen mansion to meet with Marc and discuss with him everything happening. Britney was chased out of the mansion by Marc and Amelia like a beggar and she came back to the hospital crying and shattered saying her papa chased her out of his mansion and I couldn't help but pity the little girl.""Britney didn't give up and went back to the mansion the following day to ask her father for help seeing how her mother's health was deteriorating. She met with Amelia Cohen, Amelia
"You won't find anything" A strange voice said and I froze at the spot"Who could it be? I thought Elliot said only Sarah and Britney lived here?" I thought in my head and I turned around to see how it wasIt was a white man around his Sixties he stood wearing a green shirt and a black pants and his hands rested on the long rod in his hands as he stared and I and Elliot "I hope this is good" I said in my head"You know it's wrong to break into someone else's house most especially when the owner is dead right?" The old man said as he walked to a chair and sat down. After sitting down quietly he also signaled us to have a sit. Elliot and I shared a look before finally sitting down quietly on this chair we once stood up from with the old man staring at us"Don't worry I mean no harm,I see you guys are tensed" The old man said an I calmed down a little but I was on the alert"You should be Diana?" He said pointing at me and I was surprised he knew my name"Who could he be?" I wondered st
"Hi my name is Sarah Jordan, This is me and my sister here, Britney say Hi""Hello" Britney said and continued pressing her phone"Well it's just me and my sister here and I'm bored there's nothing else to do I'm just making these video out of boredom""Man what the fuck am I saying I better delete this""Hi it's me again Sarah Jordan I'm sorry I haven't been updating you guys, it's just that I've been going through a lot these days I don't know how to explain.

I just hope I'll be able to talk some sense into her""Hi, My life hasn't been really great these days turns out I have a half sister somewhere out there her name is Ariela Cohen and she's the daughter of a billionaire and now my sister is set to destroy their entire family she thinks she's the reason why our mother had died and why our lives is like this. Right now I just hope I'm able to
"What are you doing out here in the cold" Elliot asked giving me his coat"Just thinking about everything" I said and wrapped the coat around my body to calm my freezing body from the snow fall.I couldn't get enough sleep last night, I was thinking about everything that had happened. And it all seemed like a nightfall. I kept rolling up and front but couldn't sleep and as soon as the day breaks, I got out of the car and stood out here in the snowIt felt like I have been living a lie all my life and everything just seemed to be interwoven, I don't know who to trust and when to trust. My life all these years have one way or the other been controlled. I was turned to a video game that can be played anyhow you want and in any direction you desire. It all started with the death of Sarah Jordan and now I'm caught between a web of deceits and facing betrayal from those I once trusted. And now I have no idea about what lies ahead of me and how prepared I am to face it."Let's get back to th
