"Oh, my goodness. This woman is pure evil and must not be allowed to live. I thought she was just after money but it looks like she wants to wipe your family out too," Susan said. "But why?" she asked."Some people just have evil hearts," Devon replied."Wow," Susan said."Yeah," Devon said not ready to share the details of why he wanted Angela out of the way but what he didn't know was, that a couple of days before Patricia was killed, Susan had already found out about why Devon didn't like Angela. Susan was already aware of Angela's parents getting killed and Angela's little revenge idea when she was young. She was also aware that somehow Devon was connected to the murder but she didn't have the details. She knew someone from the Moore family ordered the murder of Angela's parents but again, she didn't have the details. "I just came by to offer my condolence after reading the news this morning, " Susan said."Thank you, Susan," Devon said and hugged Susan. "I need your help,"
"Mr Anderson, I do have some news. Something doesn't add up concerning your daughter's accusation, but I don't have much to conclude," James replied. "What do you mean?" Mr Anderosn asked and Mrs Anderson stared at Mr Anderson wondering what was happening."This is not a discussion to be done on the phone. I just called to let you know I have found something. I will come over so we can talk about it," James replied."Okay," Mr Anderson replied and the call ended."What did he say?" Mrs Anderson asked anxiously."He has found something but he would not talk about it on the phone," Mr Anderson replied."And about seeing our daughter, is that possible?" Mrs Anderson asked. "I forgot to ask. Let me call him back," Mr Anderson said and quickly dialled James's number.Back at the station, the chief after going through the report got angry. He called the officer he was working with into his office."Did you read the report?" the Chief asked."Yes, sir," the officer replied."Then what is t
Mr Anderson relaxed in his seat searching his mind after hearing what James had just said."Sweetheart," Mrs Anderson called out to her husband staring at his face. "Do you have anyone in mind?" she asked."This is where I got stuck," James interrupted. "I don't know anyone at the headquarters. If I go there, I will be raising this issue like an ordinary person who had come to report a case to a higher authority and they will treat it as such. If whoever is giving the orders is from the headquarters, he will screw us up," he added."I think I might have someone in mind. It's time to reach out to an old friend," Mr Anderson said after a minute of silence and Mrs Anderson smiled. At Diamond Corporation, Susan was behind her desk trying to get some work done as the whole company prepared for the premiere schedule for later in the evening. The door to her office slowly opened drawing Susan's attention to the door. She began to wonder who was entering her office without knocking. The door
"I told you he would come. This side of the business is new. There is no way he would leave it in Britney's hands to handle alone," Eva said, and Susan smiled, knowing it was Devon who had convinced Bryce to come for the premiere. "Let's go welcome him," Susan said and was about to leave but Eva stopped her."How about the red carpet?" Eva prompted her as she wanted to take some pictures."No, I will only do the red carpet with Bryce. I need to get the news out there," Susan replied and Eva smiled."That sounds great. I wish Bernard would just walk with me instead of abandoning me like this," Eva said pulling a sad face."Hey, don't worry your head about trivia things. What is important is, that he has agreed to marry you. Once you two are married, he can't ignore you forever," Susan said."You are right," Eva acknowledged."Now let's go inside, I get a man to secure," Susan said and pulled Eva towards the back exit.Meanwhile, the main entrance was flooded with the media team. The p
Bryce moved his lips to Susan's neck and Susan ran her hand through Bryce's hair enjoying the passion burning inside her. Bryce's shirt was already opened. Susan just took it off him and tossed it to the side. She started tagging at his pants but Bryce suddenly froze."What is it?" Susan questioned wondering why Bryce suddenly stopped.Bryce suspended himself over Susan and stared down at her. His vision was still blurry and confusion rode his mind as a strong desire burned within him. He could not see the face of the person in bed with him clearly. Even though his body needed that satisfaction it didn't feel right. His mind was in chaos but something inside so strong stopped him from sleeping with the stranger lying on the bed.Susan lifted her body and captured Bryce's lips in another kiss but this time he didn't respond even though he didn't push her away."What is wrong?" Susan asked wondering what was happening.Bryce pushed himself off Susan still feeling something wasn't right
Susan's home, at 2 am, four hours after Bryce and Marcus had left, Susan slowly opened her eyes. Her head hurt so bad and her nose picked up a horrible smell. Her body was sticky. The light in her room was still on. She realized she was lying on the floor. She pushed herself up as she tried to recollect from memory what happened. She saw the vomit she was lying in and recalled everything. Feeling disgusted, she carefully got up from the floor and walked into the bathroom. She stood under the shower in the bikini and allowed the water to wash down her body before removing her panty and bra and dropping them in the bin. She put some shampoo into her hair and began to wash it. She realized immediately she had a cut at the back of her head. Her mind quickly went to the pain she felt at the back of her head before darkness covered her. After showering, she wrapped her hair in a towel and put on a bathrobe. She went for the mob and a mop bucket and cleaned the vomit from the floor annoyed h
"I want to be alone," Bryce suddenly said to Devon's surprise."Son," Devon called out, staring at Bryce and Bryce suddenly looked okay."Please, Dad. Leave," Bryce said sternly."Son, you don't look good. How can I leave you alone?" Devon asked sounding concerned."I have lots of employees in this house," Bryce said and his father shook his head and was about to leave when Bryce stopped him. "Wait, can I have the video?" he asked and Devon just stared at him briefly before moving his fingers on his phone."It's in your email. Bryce, I know it's your first time falling in love with a woman, but you must let her go. She is bad news," Devon said but Bryce remained silent.Devon walked out of the house, leaving Bryce in the living room.Meanwhile, at the police headquarters, James and Mr Anderson were led to an office by a lady. She knocked and entered with James and Mr Anderson trailing behind her."Sir," the lady said and the man behind the desk, who was going through some papers raised
Back in the cell, Bryce pulled away from the hug and stared at Angela's sad tear-stained face holding her by the shoulder. He stared into her eyes and his heart ached. All he could read from her eyes was pain. He cared for her and believed in her innocence seeing her again. Now he needs to get hold of something to support what he thinks. He was unsure when or how it happened, but he felt her lips on his and gave in to the desire that travelled through his body. He kissed her. Angela did not protest. She allowed him to kiss her and she didn't even know what pushed her to accept his kiss. Bryce is fully aware that Angela has been accused of murdering two members of the Moore family and there is evidence proving her guilty. Angela on the other hand believes whoever murdered her parents is connected to the Moore family. So why are they both standing in a withholding cell, passionately kissing each other? Shouldn't they hate each other for the pain they both felt after losing a loved one
"Please tell me my mother is okay?" Angela said with tears streaming down her face. Bryce nodded to Martin to give them some privacy. Martin just nodded and exited the study closing the door behind him. Angela walked up to Bryce and held the front part of his shirt with both hands. She stared into his eyes with tears and a pain so deep inside her heart."Please, what happened to my mother?" she cried in pain."I am sorry, Angela," Bryce began and more tears streamed down Angela's face.She withdrew her hand from Bryce and staggered backwards."I am not sure what happened but Matilda took her life before I could get to her," Bryce said."No, no, she was all I have left in this world as a mother," Angela cried and ended up sitting on the floor. Bryce drew closer to her and also sat on the floor dropping his crutches to the side. He reached for Angela and pulled her into his arms."Where did you keep her?" Angela asked wanting to see Mrs Anderson for the last time."Angela, there are
Bryce and Martin stared at what the servant was pointing at and were both shocked to the bone, unsure what they were staring at."What is this?" Bryce asked returning his gaze to the servant."Mrs Anderson," the servant replied and Martin walked towards what the servant was pointing."You mean to say, this dark-looking liquid in this bowl is Mrs Anderson?" Bryce asked while Martin looked closely at the liquid in the bowl."I am no expert but whatever this is, it stinks like blood," Martin reported."What did they do to her? How did she end up like this?"Bryce asked the servant."Mrs Davis placed her in that machine," the servant replied, pointing to the huge machine, which looked like an enclosed hyperbaric chamber, sitting at the side of the wall.Martin got closer to the machine and began examining it. "That is how she makes people disappear. She will put them into this machine, and they will come out looking like this," the servant said, pointing to the bowl of thick, dark liquid.
At Bryce's apartment, Bryce knew he had to find Zora an apartment. It was just two bedrooms. Martin had already taken the other remaining bedroom."I would take her to the room," Martin said and Bryce knew he was taking Zora to his room."Okay," Bryce replied and took Angela to their room. "Get some rest. I will be with you soon. I need to discuss something very important with Martin," he said once they were inside the room and Angela nodded. "I would go shower," Angela said and started walking towards the bathroom after kissing Bryce on the lips. Inside Martin's room, Martin moved his things out of the way so Zora could feel comfortable."This is your room?" Zora asked watching Martin pack male stuff into a bag which he zipped up after."That was before," Martin replied."Thank you," Zora said staring at Martin with a smile."Get some rest. I am going out," Martin said feeling a bit awkward. He had never kissed a girl before. Zora was the first girl to kiss him and the memory is s
"It appears Bryce has taken down the Davis family. Now if there was any hope that the once powerful family would rise again, that hope just died," Devon said."Wait, that was Bryce's doing?" Susan asked sounding surprised."Yes," Devon said. "That means we need to lay low for a while. We should leave the country. I am sure he is coming after you," he said."Okay," Susan said."Come over, let's leave as soon as possible," Devon said and ended the call after Susan had acknowledged.After ending the call, Susan went online to read the news on Matilda Davis and George's arrest. The arrest of Matilda Davis and George proves that all that glitter is not gold. The once-powerful family that ruled some years back has just been brought down to nothing because of their criminal activities. The Davis family had links with all the criminal organizations known as the mafias. They appeared to be operating legit business not knowing all the criminal activities going on within the country were from t
It was dark, and the light providing visibility in the area was feeble. Some trees were on one side of the road, and the field leading to the abandoned house was at the end of the road. It appears the place used to be a fun park, but it was no longer in use. The building at the end of the road used to be the administrative block of the park. Bryce hid behind one of the trees and watched Angela from there. Angela walked down the path through the spoilt green field towards the decapitated building trembling. Her heart was racing against her chest. She occasionally looked back as she walked towards the building not sure what awaited her there.Bryce made another move from the tree he was hiding behind to the next tree on the stretch, using the dark shadows as a cover. His gaze was still fixated on Angela who was in the feeble light when he heard sirens. He shifted his gaze in the direction of the sound wondering why the police were coming in with so much noise. By the time he returned h
"How does this scandal work in our favour?" George asked after updating Matilda with their plan."Angela left home and Bryce followed her after seeing the news. He was furious. He found Angela in an abandoned place, meeting up with a man. He moves in to claim her, maybe just watching her from hiding. Eduardo's team opened fire on him. Bryce dies, Angela gets wounded and Zora dies. No one would believe Angela because of this news. My son comes back home to me," Matilda narrated smiling like things would play out like that.George frowned staring at her."The scandal may be one thing but don't forget the police would investigate," George pointed out."So take care of that. Money makes the rule," Matilda said and stood up. "Everything goes down tonight. No mistake," she added and walked away.Back at Bryce's new place, Angela sat on the bed worried and in tears, while Bryce tried to calm her down. "Everything is going to be alright. I promise to bring Zora home safe and sound," Bryce as
"Hello," came Angela's sweet voice after the guard had redialed her number for the third time."Listen to me carefully, I have your friend Zora here. If you want to see her again and alive, do as exactly as I tell you," the guard said."Who are you?" Angela asked."I am the one who decides what happens to your friend," the guard said. Maybe you think I am joking," he added. George then asked another guard to hit Zora.The guard removed the cloth from Zora's lips and a slap landed on her face making her scream. Another followed the slap and Zora let out a cry."I believe you recognized that scream," the guard said and George nodded asking the guard to continue."Please don't hurt my friend," Angela cried after hearing Zora's voice."That depends on you," the guard said. "I want you to come to a location I am going to give you. At exactly 6 p.m. today, you should be there. Bring cash half a million dollars and I will release your friend to you. Don't get the police involved and make sur
"I just saw Martin at AT&T," Susan said as soon as her call was answered."He is probably getting a new sim for investigation or something. Follow him and find out what he is doing there and what he is up to," Devon said."Okay, " Susan replied. "I will speak with my friend. She should be able to get me that information without a problem," she said and the call ended.Susan found somewhere to hide and kept her gaze on the AT&T shop's exit. She saw Martin step out of the shop. She watched as Martin shoved something into his jacket and walked towards a blank Range Rover. Susan frowned."When did Bryce change his car?" Susan thought but remembered Bryce was with the Davis family now. Susan watched the car leave and quickly emerged from her hiding, her eyes fixated on the car driving away. She stopped a taxi and got inside. "Hurry, follow that Range Rover," Susan said and the taxi driver did as requested.After a couple of turns, Martin noticed he was being followed. Meanwhile, back in
Martin moved the recording to a pen drive and left the apartment. He then got behind the wheel and drove toward the hospital.Back at the hospital, Bryce was still sitting in the ward watching over Angela. There was no one he could trust at this moment. He patiently waited for Martin to arrive so he could take Angela home. To a new place. A place that would be safe for where."Sir, everything is ready," Martin announced as soon as he entered the ward."Great," Bryce said and stood up.He walked to the bed and scooped Angela in his arms. She was still sleeping and he didn't want to wake her. He made Martin cover her with his jacket since he didn't have one. The trio walked out of the ward heading towards the exit. They were soon outside, and Bryce got into the car's back seat after safely securing Angela first in the back seat. He had his hand wrapped around Angela, keeping her comfortable."Let's go," Bryce said and Martin put the car into motion.After a couple of minutes' drive, th
