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
Back at the conference, Bryce after hearing the reporter's question already figured the question was just to start another scandal using his words right after the conference. He had come there to defend Angela and he didn't even understand what pushed him to do that and now a question that would start another scandal has been thrown at him."This press conference was organized to clear the air of the misunderstanding travelling around social media. So why are asking personal questions?" Bryce asked looking in the direction of the reporter who had asked the question."I am a reporter. It's my duty to gather all the information that will answer all the questions I believe the people will want to ask," the reporter replied. "I see," Bryce said and shifted his gaze to other members of the media."I would not take any personal questions. If you have any questions concerning my submission, feel free to ask," Bryce said and the room was dead silent. The conference came to an end and everyo
"Who are you?" Angela asked breathing heavily as her body trembled and her heart raced against her chest."It doesn't matter. What matters is what I know about your parent's death," came the man's voice.Angela's mind travelled back to the scene of her parent's death, which happened ten years ago. She suddenly felt dizzy and it felt like she had been drenched with cold water."What do you know about my parent's death?" Angela asked her whole body trembling and her voice shaking making her sound like she was stammering.Chills washed down over her entire body and she didn't realize she was speaking to a stranger whom she didn't know how he came by her number in the first place."I will not tell you that on the phone. I will tell you in person," the man replied. "I will send you a location. Meet me there tonight and I will tell you everything you need to know about the person who killed your parents. He is closer to you than you know," he added and ended the call abruptly."Hello," Ange
An hour earlier, when Angela left Bryce's apartment for the location, she called the man."Hello," Angela said on the call throwing all caution to the wind."Hello Angela," came the man's deep voice which scared Angela but she was determined to know who was behind her parent's death."I am on my way," Angela informed him, her breathing becoming unsteady."Good, I will wait for you with all the documents proof. Like I said, the person is very close to you," the man said giving Angela the creep."Okay," Angela said and ended the call.Angela sat in the cab wondering if she should see this man and take Mrs William's advice and let it go. After thinking for a while she concluded she wanted to know. The cab pulled over at the get of an apartment. Angela paid the cab driver and got down scanning her environment. The way she was turning and looking around, it almost looked like someone trying to sneak into the apartment.The small gate was opened by a man and Angela looked around again and s
"Hmm, I think, I need to make a call to someone," Susan said and retrieved her phone from her bag. She quickly dialled Devon's number and waited for the call to connect."Hmm," Susan heard a voice."Mr Moore, Bryce is at it again. Today he had an email circulated in the company that Angela Anderson is on sick leave. He is still looking for her and that means he would not go through with the engagement," Susan cried on the phone."Ah! So you are the one feeding my husband with this information?" Patricia replied to Susan and Susan removed the phone from her ears to check whom she had called.Mr Devon Moore was displayed on the phone screen. She had called the right person but Patricia had answered."I am sorry, Mrs Moore. Mr Moore tasked me with monitoring your son. I am only doing my job," Susan defended."I see," Patricia said. "This should be the last time, you call my husband," she warned and ended the call."Bitch!" Susan cursed and tossed the phone back into her bag.A&J GroupZ
Susan after making multiple turns finally found her way to the staircase. She quickly went down the stairs and found herself in the open space. The exit door was just a walk away from her left, and the living room was also a couple of walks away from her right. She requested an Uber and was soon out of Bryce's home. Josephine locked the main door as Susan left before returning to her room.Inside the Uber, on her way back to her apartment, Susan called Eva."Have you found Angela yet?" Susan asked."No, it's like she just vanished into theme air," Eva replied."Keep looking, I am sure she is hiding somewhere. Bryce seems to like her and I want to know why," Bryce said and the Uber driver looked at Susan briefly in the rearview mirror before focusing his gaze on the road."And about Bernard. When are you going to help me with him?" Eva asked. "Let the sun come up and I will tell you what to do," Susan replied before ending the call."Who are you, Angela? Why does Bryce like you?" Susa
Bryce stood there frozen to his spot as he stared at the back of his father, Devon, as he walked majestically out of his living room towards the exit. Every step Devon took, made Bryce feel like his father, Devon, had him where he wanted."So, are we going upstairs now?" came Susan's voice as she hung herself from Bryce's shoulders sounding seductive. Bryce's shifted his gaze to Susan who was still hunting from his shoulder with smiles covering her face and a stare of seduction."Get your slutty hands off me. Are you that desperate for a man to the extent that you lower your standard to a level of begging and throwing your dignity out of the window?" Bryce said with disdain and a frown on his face.Susan let go of Bryce's shoulder immediately and stared at him, her anger gradually rising as she processed Bryce's words. Bryce squeezes his face staring at her."Calling you a slut is even giving you credit because we know they at least charge their clients for their service. You are jus
The day slowly went by and soon the morning came. Bryce woke up and got ready for the office. He skipped breakfast and was soon in the car heading for the office. "What is the latest news on Angela's location?" Bryce asked."Sir, we still don't have anything on her. It appears she didn't have any friends and she didn't go to her family home either," Marcus replied. "You are not doing a good job then. Search everywhere," Bryce almost yelled."Yes, boss," Marcus replied and shifted his gaze to the road.They soon arrived at Diamond Corporation. Bryce got out of the car and went up to his office. When he walked in, he was surprised to find his coffee sitting on his table. "Angela!" Bryce whispered her name and went out of his office.He stood behind Angela's office door and knocked. After the knock, he tried to open the door and it was locked. He frowned and pulled his phone out."Maybe she went to meet up with Don," he thought as he dialled Don's number on his phone. "Hello Don, how
"Patricia, calm yourself," Devon said. "Even if you are against my decision, you should not do this in front of our guest," he added."Then you should have discussed with me first before making an announcement I know nothing about in front of the so-called guest," Patricia said angrily."What is wrong with you Patricia? This is Susan. She grew up together with Bryce. What do you have against her?" Devon asked."You know. I am glad you asked this question because I wanted to ask you the same question. I don't know we may have the same reason for our objections," Patricia said with a frown. "What do you have against Angela," she asked.Susan who was sitting at the table was surprised by the hostility displaced by Patricia but after hearing her question she understood why."So this is about Angela," Susan thought and grabbed a glass of water for herself."Angela is a slut and a gold digger. She is only her to amass wealth for herself. I would not sit and watch such a woman take away ever
It was five minutes after the hour five in the evening when Zora returned to her apartment. She opened the front door and entered her room to find Angela still lying on the sofa where she had left her."Hey, girlfriend, don't tell me you haven't moved since I left," Zora said as she kicked her shoes off her feet carrying two paper bags in her hand with her bag hanging from her shoulder.Zora walked to the sofa and placed the two paper bags on the centre table leaving her shoes at the door. She dropped her bag on the sofa and she sat down on one of the sofas. She then tapped Angela on her shoulder. "You are back," Angela opened her eyes and turned in the direction of where the tapping had come from only to see Zora sitting on the sofa next to where she was lying asleep."Yeah, I am and it looks like someone just slept off as soon as I left," Zora said and opened the two paper bags releasing the aroma of french fries into the air."I am tired. I can't cook so I ordered something from K
"How dare you barged into my office like that?" Devon barked standing up to face Bryce who was equally standing in front of his desk facing him squarely.The two gentlemen stared at each other angrily for a while in silence before Bryce decided to break the silence. "Angela is my wife and now that I know she is carrying my child, I am not going to let her go," Bryce said sounding very serious."Then you leave me no choice. I shall take the company away from you," Devon said and Bryce scoffed."So be it. You can have your company back," Bryce said and was about to leave. "I am not just taking the company away from you. I am freezing all your assets. Good luck running that house in the Estates with no money. And Bryce, I need you to pay the rent for that apartment by noon today. Starting from the day of acquisition if not, you move out," he said."We own that estate so why do I have to pay you rent?" Bryce questioned. "I am a Moore," he added."Since you started disobeying my orders.
After Bryce left to get food for Angela, the doctor came to Angela's ward."Great, you are awake now. Your test results came out fine. So you are free to go home for now," the doctor said and Angela nodded. She grabbed her bag and quickly searched for her phone. She dialled Zora's number and waited for her to answer."Hello Zora, I want to come over to your place. This is urgent," Angela said on the call."Okay, I went to get something in town. I will hurry to my place. If you can make it in within the next half an hour, I will wait for you," Zora replied."Thank you. I will be there shortly," Angela said and ended the call before dropping the phone into her bag.With Bryce away, she seized the opportunity to leave the ward. She knew if he returned it would be difficult to leave. She grabbed her bag and was soon out of the ward. She exited the hospital and used the pavement heading for the exit. She kept her eyes on the lookout for the car park. She was happy it was on the other side
"Why?" Bryce asked wondering if his father had said anything to her."I don't want to be married to you anymore," Angela replied because she didn't want to tell him she was requesting a divorce because she thought his family had something to do with her parents' murder."Why?" Bryce asked again feeling uneasy hearing her request for a divorce.Why does she want a divorce now that she is carrying his child? Is it a way to run away with his child?"Our marriage was a wrong idea. We were not supposed to be married in the first place," Angela replied. "It is never too late to rectify a mistake. It's only been like four months. We are not compatible. We may have some che ... er some er, chemistry, when we are, erm," she stammered trying to make her last statement as her eyes looked everywhere except him while she fidgeted with her hand and the cover cloth.She cleared her throat and continued. "When, erm, you know," Angela said and Bryce frowned trying to understand what she was trying to
