"I came to see Angela," Diana said. "With her achievement in such a short while, I asked her to mentor me. Unfortunately, she is not in her office," she added and Bernard eyed her suspiciously.Her excuse sounded solid but Bernard felt something was up, yet he couldn't put a finger on what that might be. He walked past her to get what he wanted from Bryce's office for the client meeting scheduled for the afternoon.At the hospital, Angela finally woke up and found herself in the hospital. The guard was the only person with her. "What happened?" Angela asked sounding sober."You were acting aggressive and passed out," the guard replied, telling her what he knew."What happened to my hand?" Angela asked seeing the wounds on her hand when she moved her hand to her head."I am sorry ma'am. I locked you in the room because you were trying to get away. You kept hitting the door and that happened," the guard explained.Angela held her head in pain briefly. She was having a splitting headach
Bryce moved back to the guest room and Angela ended up spending the night alone. She tossed and turned in bed. Occasionally, she turns to look at Bryce's side of the bed. It was empty. In the guest room, Bryce was no different. He kept tossing and turning in bed feeling Angela's absence. They both ended up lying down facing upwards and staring at the ceiling. Angela did not know when sleep took over, but when she opened her eyes again, it was due to the buzzing sound of her alarm. She turned it off and quickly freshened it. She dressed up and left the house in an Uber heading for the company. The moment Angela arrived, she quickly took care of her usual morning routine and went to the cafeteria to get Bryce's coffee for him. At the cafeteria, she ran into Diana. "Good morning Angela," Diana greeted drawing Angela's attention to her."Good morning, how are you?" Angela replied smiling. "I am good. Yesterday, I came by your office but I was met with your absence," Diana informed her
Susan and Eva celebrated their success of landing Diamond Corporation its first scandal with drinks in hand. They clicked glasses and laughed heartily.Back at the programme, the whole interview had turned chaotic. While Angela and Don engaged in a heated argument over what Angela had done, the host was doing everything to stop the images from displaying on the screen. The next thing they showed on the screen that threw everyone off their seat was a text message between Angela and someone. The person was angry because Angela didn't give him the role after getting him to go to bed with her.Bryce's car drove into the company's garage. He was so angry all his hair was standing on their edge. "Go to the place of the interview and find a way to get Angela out of the place. Take her home and lock her up in the room," Bryce ordered."Yes sir," Martin acknowledged and Bryce got out of the car.Martin left to pick up Angela while Bryce went upstairs using the elevator. When he got to his off
The man stepped out of the bathroom smiling. "Are you ready for me," he asked smiling foolishly."Of course, I am, my tiger" Eva replied coquettishly. "Arrrrrh," she micks a tiger cry."Arrrrh, my tigress," the man replied climbing into bed like a lion tactfully approaching a prey.Eva remained on the bed and allowed the man to catch up with her. He dropped multiple kisses on her and his hands started travelling everywhere on her body."Wait, wait," Eva pushed against him with a smile but inwardly felt disgusted by the man. "Let's have a drink first," she suggested."Oouuh, you like a little help," the man said smiling flirtatiously. "Strong or moderately strong?" he asked and a bottle of red wine he had brought in earlier with the two glasses. "Just kidding, I have wine here," he said and smiled and Eva smiled too.Eva kept her eyes focused on the glasses so she wouldn't miss the glass she had put the drug into. The man filled the two glasses with wine and placed the bottle on the b
"What do you mean?" Angela asked surprised, not having much recollection of what happened during the interview which took place the previous night."Well, I will tell you because the news was trending up to midnight and it is all gone now. No trace of it anywhere again," Zora informed her and gave her details of everything she saw on TV."Oh my God!" Angela exclaimed as her hands flew to her mouth.Zora was still on the call filling her in on all the things that had transpired the previous night. "Girl, it was a disaster," Zora ended her statement but Angela heard an incoming call while still on the call with Zora."Zora I will call you back. My parents are calling," Angela said knowing they were calling because they also saw what she did.She answered the call from her parents putting Zora on hold automatically."Angela, what happened yesterday?" came Mrs Anderson's voice."I don't know," Angela confessed feeling all regretful.She wanted to finish what she started and gain her glor
"No, I love my job at Diamond Corporation. I appreciate the opportunity given me but please forgive me. I don't know what came over me yesterday. I swear it," Angela pleaded still on her knees."Are you doing drugs, Angela? Be honest with me. I hate lies," Bryce asked his anger going down seeing her kneeling with tears in her eyes and pleading. "No, I am not. I don't do drugs. I have never done drugs in my life. I swear," Angela said putting her hand in a declaration of innocence with all sincerity.Bryce's phone rang and he pulled it out of his pocket. He looked at the caller ID and answered."Hello Edward," Bryce said after answering the call."Mr Moore, my sincerest apologies. I am not sure what happened but my team had pulled the news down. Nothing of that sort will pop up again. I will make sure of that," Edward said."Thank you," Bryce appreciated and ended the call. "Get up from the floor," he said to Angela staring at her with an unreadable expression as he masked the pain he
Eva returned to her home and decided to take a shower. She felt disgusted allowing the man to touch her. She entered her shower room, pulled two different types of bath gel and mixed it up. She grabbed herself a sponge and gave her body a good scrub like she was trying to take anything of the man off her body. She entered her bedroom in a bathrobe and next she heard a knock on her door."What is it?" Eva said from inside."Ma'am, Ms Susan is here to see you," the servant reported."Tell her I will be downstairs in two minutes," Eva said to the servant from inside her room."Yes, ma'am," the servant replied and left to carry out Eva's instructions.Eva went downstairs to the living room to find Susan waiting for her. She was sitting comfortably on the sofa with a glass of whisky sitting on a table in front of her. She taps her feet impatiently on the floor. Eva drew closer and sat on a sofa adjacent to Susan's."So Angela lives with Bryce?" Susan asked her face an expression of anger."
"Okay, concerning our other plan, I will get the man to do us the favour," Eva said. "But how do we get Angela to walk on her two legs to the man's house? You know she doesn't know the man and there is no way she would go there without a good reason," she pointed out."Did the man not offer to help?" Susan asked and Eva frowned not sure what Susan meant by her question.She had thought Susan would come up with a plan to lure Angela to the man's apartment."Yes, he did but at a cost," Eva replied."Good. And the price is Angela right," Susan said and Eva just nodded. "So he should find a way to pick up his reward. You get ready to get me pictures," she added."Meaning I have to go back to the estates," Eva said wondering how she was going to get back into the estates without involving the man.While Eva and Susan plotted against, Angela who was still in Bryce's apartment, Bryce was getting ready for the press conference. It was the first press conference he was involved in. The company
"Fine, how much did he offer you for the job," Susan asked."20 million," Ian replied and Susan's eyes widened."20 million!" Susan repeated. "So you expect me to pay 60 million to you?" she asked."It's business babe," Ian replied nonchalantly."You said the highest bidder right," Susan said. "I will give you 30 million," she offered."No problem," Ian said. "Since you two are not at the same place. I will call Bryce back and let him know you offered me 30 million and see what he will add," he said."Fine, I will get you the 60 million," Susan said wondering where she was going to get such an amount from."Service sold at 60 million to you Ms Susan," Ian said. "I want my money by the close of today," he said."I will pay, but I need some time to raise that kind of money," Susan requested."Okay, I will get to work once I have my money," Ian replied."Okay, I will give you 20 million by close of today and I will bring the rest later," Susan negotiated."Okay. How about this, you give
Bryce left the office before noon back to his apartment. He was unhappy with what his father had just done but blamed himself. He could have taken the news down without addressing the employees the way he did. Now his father had seized the opportunity to announce to the whole company, that Susan was soon going to be his wife."I will never marry Susan, even if she is the last woman on earth," Bryce said to himself inside his room. "I have messed around enough. I need to put things in their place. Something is not right and I need to find out what that thing is," he added and fetched his phone. Bryce dialled a number and waited for the call to connect. "Hello, Ian. How are you doing?" Bryce greeted."All good," Ian replied. "I know you only call when there is a major issue. So what is it, your engagement news or the murder that hit your home?" he went straight to the point."I can handle the engagement case. I need your help with something else," Bryce said. "The woman accused of mur
"What happened?" Devon asked."Bryce called all the employees and informed them that the news about our relationship is fake," Susan whined."Calm down. I will take care of that," Devon consoled."Is not even that. He turned me into a laughing stock in the company. This is so humiliating," Susan continued to whine."I am coming over," Devon said. "I will have this resolved immediately," he added."Thank you," Susan appreciated and ended the call."So what now?" Eva anxiously asked after the call had ended."He is coming over to correct things," Susan said smiling."This old man does like you a lot," Eva commented."Yes, since my parents died, he has been like a father to me," Susan said and frowned. "I must say, he has been attentive to my needs more than my parents ever were as far back as I can remember," she added."Well, you told me, it was Bryce's fault that your parents died. So he might just be making up for it. Which is good," Eva said."Yes, well. It does work to my advantage
Back at the Police Headquarters, Mr Anderson had finished narrating the whole issue to Darren."My daughter is innocent. Here is some information we have which clearly shows the inconsistency in the investigation. An indication that something is not right," Mr Anderson said."I have heard everything you have said. I will assign one of my men to monitor the investigation going on at the central police station. I will let you know how we will proceed based on what we find," Darren said."Thank you so much," Mr Anderson appreciated and Darren walked them to their parked car outside.At Diamond Corporation, a controversy has already started following the news about Bryce and Susan being in a relationship which goes against the company's rule on relationship. The accompanying images to the news made it undeniable that Bryce and Susan had something going on. The company's rules against relationships among employees are one of the reasons why Bryce kept his marriage with Angela a secret. He
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
"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
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
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
"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
