"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
Angela felt the man's lips on hers and she cried feeling very weak to fight him. Despite how horny she felt being drugged, she knew this man was not her husband and hence she didn't want him touching her. She weakly pushed against the man's chest but he was like a rock which would not move.At another location, Eva's home, Eva was pacing up and down her living room, occasionally checking her phone. A smile crept up her face when her phone buzzed with a message notification. She quickly checked and her smile widened. It was pictures of Angela alighting from a car and entering a man's apartment. There were multiple pictures of her changing into a seductive dress and after headed into the main apartment. There were pictures of her sitting in the living room having a drink with the man. Later, the man carried her upstairs."This is just perfect. Angela the slut," Eva said and smiled. "Now I just need to wait for the video of Angela in bed with another man and I will send everything to Sus
The night soon passed and it was morning. Angela woke up by the sound of her alarm. Realizing Bryce was in bed with her, she quickly stopped it so she wouldn't wake him. She slowly freed herself from Bryce's arms and got out of bed. After taking two steps from the bed she suddenly felt dizzy and this time she fell to the floor. The noise woke Bryce who was lightly asleep after the sound of the alarm. He rushed to Angela's side and carried her to the bed. He wanted to call the doctor but kicked against it knowing this could be because her drink was spiked when he went to that man's apartment and also there was cocaine in the drink she took in the afternoon. Angela slowly opened her eyes and tried to sit up but Bryce stopped her making her lie back down on the bed. "Relax. You passed out briefly," Bryce informed Angela but before he could say anything else, Angela tried to get up again with her hand flying to her mouth this time."I need to use the bathroom. I am feeling nauseous," A
"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
