"What do you want in my office," Bernard said as he strode into the office."Well, I know you care a lot about Angela Anderson," Susan began and Bernard was suddenly interested in what she was saying. "I found her," she added."You are not playing any tricks, are you?" Bernard said and sat behind his desk."What would I gain from it?" Susan asked and Bernard realised there was nothing Susan would gain for lying about Angela's location.Bernard did not believe Angela was sick. He felt Bryce was hiding something. Even though he had no justification for his suspicion, he knew Bryce had never defended any woman who had worked with him as his secretary. So he was surprised when Bryce called and asked him to communicate with the senior management team, Angela was on sick leave whilst Angela had not sent any email."So where is she?" Bernard asked. "She is meeting up with someone tonight. I will give you the details and you can meet her instead," Susan said. "Look, Mr Moore is interested in
Bernard continued to kiss Eva who responded excitedly. Her hands unbuttoned Bernard's shirt and soon she tossed it away. She quickly took her one-piece clothes off and she ended up on the bed with Bernard in just her bikini. Bernard was very rough but Eva didn't care. Soon her panty and bra were off her body too. She unbuckled Bernard's belt and unbuttoned his pants freeing his shaft which was standing tall and mighty. Eva impaled herself with it and Bernard began to pound her like his life dependent on it. Eva let out a moan enjoying the rough passionate moment with Bernard. Bernard held Eva by the neck and pressed her down while he pounded away.At Zora's place, Zora was back home and she and Angela discussed what to do the next day."I am so happy for you," Zora said excitedly, raising the glass of water she was holding. "To a new beginning," she toasts."Thanks," Angela said pretending to be holding a glass too and she clicked it to Zora's."Okay, so hopefully, you start your orie
The night slowly passed by and it was soon morning. Zora was first to wake up and her movement woke Angela up. The two ladies got ready for work. Zora kept teasing Angela all through about what happened in the middle of the night till they left the apartment for work.At Bryce's family home, Elena was also up getting ready for her class but she wanted to meet her friend who would lead her to Zora, so she decided to leave home earlier than her usual time. Devon came downstairs and met Elena coming from the kitchen holding a cup of coffee fully dressed."And where are you going this early? Your class do not start until 11 am and it's just a 45 minutes drive from here," Devon asked looking at the clock on the wall which read 7 am."I am meeting up with a friend for something very important," Elena replied."What is so important, you have to leave this house early to meet up with the person? How about the person come over to you," Devon said."Dad, I am not a kid any more. I can take care
"Let's confirm first, that is where she is staying now and I will pay her a visit," Bryce said.Marcus nodded and followed Bryce with the two others heading for the door. Soon they were on their way to Diamond Corporation. At a coffee shop in New York City, Elena was sitting behind a small table with a hot cup of coffee in hand. She occasionally looked in the direction of the door. She was waiting for her friend. She had already spent twenty minutes and her friend was unreachable via phone. She emptied the cup of coffee and called the waiter. She stood up and was about to leave when the door to the coffee shop opened. A young lady strode in and Elena smiled. "I would have a bottle of water please," Elena said to the waiter who was also about to leave after collecting his money."Yes ma'am," the waiter said."Monica, over here," Elena said waving her hand in the air.Monica stood at the entrance scanning the place for Elena. Her gaze quickly fell on the lady waving her hands in the ai
Monica ended the call and Elena smiled ear to ear."Thank you, dear friend," Elena said and smiled at Monica."Don't rejoice yet. My cousin is now going to try to arrange for a meet-up," Monica said."I feel positive within me. I will get to meet Ms Zora," Elena said. "Great, let's go for our class, we have an hour," she added.Elena made payment and they both left the coffee shop. Elena called her mother unaware she was being monitored. "Hello mum, everything went through successfully. I am positive I will meet Ms Angela's friend soon," Elena said as they stood by the roadside in front of the coffee shop."Elena, don't get too excited yet. Wait till you meet Ms Angela and we can be excited about it," Patricia said."Awww, mum. Be positive for once. I will see her before this weekend," Elena said enthusiastically and Monica just stared at her side profile shaking her head. Monica raised her hand and stopped a cab and the two entered. A man who was sitting behind a table in from of th
"Your red face," Angela said. "And the glow in your eyes and childish behaviour," She added. "Should I continue?" she asked."No need. You are in no condition to see and understand anything right now. You saw wrong," Zora said with a smile and Angela shook her head.At Diamond Corporation, Bernard was in his office, trying to distract himself with some work. His phone rang drawing his attention to the device lying on his left. He stared at the lit-up phone screen and it read unknown. He picked up the phone and answered the call."Hello," Bernard said with a frown."Hello Bernard, it's me, Eva," Eva said and Bernard ended the call.He placed the phone back on the table and it began to ring again. He answered."Hello," Bernard."Why did you hang up on me, we need to...." Eva began but Bernard ended the call before she could complete her statement.The phone rang and it was again an unknown number. Bernard angrily picked up the phone and answered."Eva, I am at work. Please stop botherin
"My name is Elena Moore. I am Bryce Moore's sister. I am here because of Ms Angela," Elena said and Zora just stared at her."I need your help?" Elena said staring at Zora."Hmmm," Zora said staring back at Elena."My brother is worried and looking for Ms Angela everywhere. He is broken and not looking good since Ms Angela left," Elena said and Zora raised an eyebrow."Wait, are you saying, Mr Moore, the handsome bachelor in New York City is getting sick because of my friend Angela?" Zora asked with an eyebrow raised."Technically, yes. He has not been himself since Ms Angela left," Elena said pulling a sad face. "He is all I have. I can't afford to lose him," she added making it more dramatic. "Well, I only read this like this in novels. Never thought I would see one in real life," Zora commented. "Okay, so what do you want?" she asked."Please can you arrange for me to see Ms Angela?" Elena asked.Zora thought about whether she should grant this request but concluded she would have
"Ms Angela, I am glad to see you again. My brother is looking for you," Elena said and Angela just stared at her. "Are you two going to stand there all day?" Zora asked alternative his gaze between the two."Pardon my manners, please come inside. I mean have a seat," Angela said not sure what to think of Elena's visit but what Zora said about getting some information that will help with clarification of her suspicion also crowded her mind.The trio moved to the living room and Zora excused them so they could have some privacy."So, you are here to convince me to go back to your brother?" Angela asked sitting opposite Elena."Well, you can look at it that way?" Elena replied and Angela raised an eyebrow."What do you mean?" Angela asked trying to get clarification."I came to find out one thing," Elena began."You are the first woman to capture my brother's attention to the extent that he married you and brought you to his home. No one woman had spent the night in his apartment you ar
The ambulance arrived at the police station and Eva's body was moved into it. Bryce, Bernard and Matilda followed the ambulance to the hospital. Eva was rushed into the hospital and Bernard followed in. Bryce and Matilda later strode into the hospital in the company of two bodyguards. "She is dead," the doctor announced after checking Eva.The news hit Bernard like a baseball bat. She is dead. The words echoed in his mind. He had no feelings towards Eva but it did break him hearing the doctor say she was dead."What happened?" Bryce asked when he walked in with Matilda trailing behind her with two bodyguards."She is dead," the words left Bernard's lips as he stood frozen staring at Eva's motionless body on a stretcher a couple of distances away from where he stood but not so far that he couldn't hear what the doctor said to the officer standing next to Eva's body."I am sorry," Bryce said to Bernard. Eva was already in prison when the whole thing happened so the police took care of
"I know someone who can make Eva speak. I will get the person," Bryce said, and pulled out his phone. "Hello Bernard," he said as soon as the call was answered. At the central police station, the chief left his office to see Eva in her withholding cell. Even though Eva was in prison, she was well taken care of. She was kept in a separate place and was well provided for."I just got off the phone with the warden of the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. You will be well taken care of till Susan figures out a way to get you out," he said. "Okay," Eva replied. "Good," the chief said. "The court proceeding will be very short since you have admitted committing the crime. Once that is done, you will be safely transported to Bedford Hills Correctional Facility and Susan will pick things up from there," he added. "When is the court hearing?" Eva asked biting into her sandwich and sipping her tea."Tomorrow," the chief replied. "Hope the food is good," he inquired. "Yes, it's okay. I a
Angela slowly opened her eyes. Her head ached terribly. She squeezed her face and tried to figure out where she was but her vision was a bit blurry. She rubbed her eyes to clear her eyes but was greeted by a familiar voice, which made her tense up immediately. She quickly scanned her environment again and her gaze fell on Zora walking towards her. She realized she was on a bed and in an unfamiliar environment. She quickly shifted her gaze back to Zora with a frown, wondering if it was real or if she was dreaming."Angela," Zora called out to her."Zora, is it you?" Angela asked and rubbed her eyes before looking again."It's me. I am here," Zora said and sat on the side of the baby staring at Angela. "How are you feeling?" she quickly asked."Angela, darling, how are you?" came another familiar voice."Mum?" Angela said and soon Mrs Anderson's face was in clear view as she stood next to Zora."Am I dead?" Angela asked and Zora pinched her."Ouch!" Angela cried."Does it feel like you
Bryce exited the ward feeling downcast inside but outwardly, he kept a composed face. He paid less attention to the environment and didn't bother to even call the doctor."You two come with me and you two stay here and make sure nothing happens to her," Bryce instructed, walking away with two guards following him.He pulled his phone out and made a call to Martin."Martin, get in touch with Zora and give her the address I am sending you. Tell her Angela needs her," Bryce said on the call.He felt Angela would need her friend around her."Yes sir," Martin replied. "Have you found Josephine yet?" Byrce asked seeing it's been close to two hours since he last called Martin."No, sir," Martin replied. "I am still searching," he added."Keep me updated," Bryce said.Once he ended the call, he called Matilda."Hello Mrs Davis," Bryce said. "I am at the hospital, I just got my wife out of prison. Your daughter is missing. I suspect Devon has her. I have already tasked Martin to look for her.
"Hold on," Bryce said and briefly looked at Angela to ensure she was still sleeping before exiting the ward. "What happened?" he asked once standing in front of the ward.The four guards with him were also outside, standing in front of the ward."Sir, I went back to the house and found the gate opened with the two security men dead inside their security post. Three guards were lying on the compound dead, and two servants were killed, with one seriously wounded and the remaining two tied up with some bruises. Those two were locked up in the storage room. Josephine Brown was nowhere to be found. I checked the cameras in the house and the only camera functioning captured Josephine being dragged out of her bedroom by two masked men," Martin reported."Do everything you can. Make sure you find her," Bryce said."Should I get the police involved?" Martin asked."No," Bryce replied. "I have a feeling my fake father could be involved. Start the search with him. Do not let him know you are ont
"I must live for my child," Angela thought as the life slowly left her body.With this thought in mind, she stopped struggling despite the pain she was going through. The lady loosened her grip seeing Angela was no longer moving. Angela thought that was it, she was going to let her go but to her surprise, the lady grabbed her neck again and began to squeeze. Angela was getting weak and her eyes felt like they were going to pop out of their socket but she kept thinking about the baby growing inside her belly and kept fighting to stay alive. She remained calm hoping the lady would believe she was dead and let go.The other prisoners were still making noise in their cells as they watched what the lady was doing to Angela. The prison warden was inside his office when he heard a knock. "Come in," the prison warden said.Four tall men strode in, all wearing black suits. The warden raised his head to stare at the men as they walked into his office. Two went towards the left and two went to
Devon and Susan got into the car and followed the police car. Back in the chapel, everyone was up and moving around. Some people were outside while others remained inside. Everyone was talking about what had just happened. Bernard and Peter left the chapel, sat in their car and headed back home."God has a way of interceding for his people. Men, you need to go to church tomorrow to say thank you to the Lord," Peter said smiling but Bernard was very quiet."Men, you are free from getting into an unhappy marriage. Why are you moody?" Peter asked realizing Bernard had not said a word since Eva was arrested.Bernard remained silent. Peter tapped on the divider and the driver closed it to give them privacy."Bernard, talk to me. Did you love Eva, somehow?" Peter asked."No," Bernard replied."So what is the problem?" Peter asked, wondering what was making Bernard moody."Eva and I were friends before. I didn't know much about her personal life but I put a distance between myself and her wh
Bryce looked in the direction of Matilda as she walked towards him."I will have my PA send the documents over. You go through them and if you are okay with my offer, we can sign a deal," the man said."Sounds good," Bryce replied and they shook hands."Ah, Mr Williams, nice for you to grace this occasion with your presence," Matilda said and offered her hand to the man Bryce was chatting with earlier."Tilly, Tilly, still young and beautiful," Mr Williams said flirtatiously and planted a kiss on the back of Matilda's hand."Hmm, still haven't changed," Matilda said smiling. "I see you have already met my grandson," she quickly added resting her hand on Bryce's shoulder."Yes, I must say he is a prodigy," Mr Williams said to Matilda like Bryce was not standing there with them."Well, I know you came in late. He is our new Don," Matilda informed him and shifted her gaze to Bryce."Mr Moore, welcome to the family," Mr Williams said, offering Bryce a handshake."Thank you," Bryce appreci
Bryce accepted it and opened it. He frowned as he read the content. "Get the car ready, we are going on a trip," Bryce said after going through the document."If this is about your ex-wife in jail, I will say, wait," Matilda's voice travelled to Bryce causing him to halt in his step."What do you mean?" Bryce asked dismissing Martin."I figured, the documents in your hand revealed the true criminal," Matilda replied. "I take it, you already know," Bryce said facing Matilda fully."Yes, we do know but I wanted to know how our new Don will handle issues," Matilda said. "Did I do well by you?" Bryce asked staring at Matilda with a frown."You had a few lapses but it doesn't make you a complete failure. And that is why we deem it right to call you in," Matilda replied."I see," Bryce said and Martin returned to the place."Sir, the car is ready," Martin reported."Her wedding comes up soon. Why don't you wait and gather a few more evidence? Your introduction also comes off tomorrow and
