"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
Zora came downstairs to the living room to inform Angela she was done and she could go take her shower but the living room was empty. She checked the kitchen and it was empty too."Angela!" Zora called out to her as she returned to the living room but she was met with silence. "Angela!" she called out again, this time a bit louder and her gaze fell on the slightly opened balcony door.Zora walked towards the balcony and opened the door. She peeped into the balcony and it was empty. "Angela!" Zora called out Angela's name louder again and her gaze fell on something on the floor close to the railing.Zora entered the balcony and walked towards what she had seen to check what it was. She bent down and realized it was Angela's necklace. She picked it up holding the railing with one hand. She stood up and was about to leave but paused as her eyes caught something. She went back to the railing to look again."OMG! Angela!" Zora cried after looking down from the balcony and seeing Angela on
"What happened to Angela?" Bryce asked and Zora turned to look at who had held her by the arms only to meet the gaze of Bryce.Zora recognized Bryce immediately despite his disguise. She was about to yell at the person who had disrespectfully grabbed her arms but seeing it was Bryce she calmed herself down."She is in the emergency room," Zora replied her face stained with tears."What happened?" Bryce asked. "I am not sure. I went to take a shower and when I returned I couldn't find her anywhere. I later found her lying on the ground motionless," Zora reported."Did she fall or something?" Bryce asked trying to understand what happened exactly."I don't know," Zora said. "We were both inside. I don't even know when she left the room," she added sadly with her head loweredThe doctor exited the emergency room and Zora seeing the doctor walked towards him freeing herself from Bryce's grip.Bryce was processing what Zora had just said when Zora moved. He shifted his gaze in the directi
The officer drew closer and stood next to Elena's body. She was still in the clothes she wore upon leaving the house to find Angelina indicating her body was yet to receive attention from the morgue. There was a clear bullet wound on her forehead. The officer took pictures of that. His gaze shifted to her chest region upon noticing missing buttons and a knife mark at the edge of her jacket which she wore over an inner blouse. The officer, under the watchful gaze of Bryce and Marcus, opened the jacket while wearing gloves. Elena's blouse had multiple knife marks going through it."I would like the postmortem on this body," the officer said to the staff at the morgue. "Mr Moore, my apologies for your loss," the officer said to Bryce. "Who did this to my sister?" Bryce asked the officer through gritted teeth."Mr Moore, please calm yourself. Investigations have started and we will arrest the criminal soon. However, do you have any idea, where Ms Angela Anderson is? I understand you were
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
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
"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
"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,"
"Love and care," Bryce's words re-echoed in his mind.He heard what his father said about getting the best lawyer so Angela could be kept at a safe place till she delivers her baby and after she will be transferred to prison but his thoughts about showing Angela more love and care strike a chord in his heart."I love her. Is that why I feel the way I feel around her?" Bryce thought, feeling that could be the explanation for how reaction around her."Son!" Devon said realizing his son's mind was not in the room. "Son!" he called out again."Yes," Bryce replied shifting his gaze to his father."Did you hear anything I said?" Devon asked."Yes, I did," Bryce replied relaxing in his seat."Okay, so that is what I came here to tell you. This is why I didn't accept your relationship with her. Susan on the other hand is a good girl. We raised her since she lost her parents and I know she is a good woman for you," Devon said. "I know this is not the right time to ask this of you but please, I
Bryce sat there staring at his father, waiting to hear what his father would say about Angela's parents. He had already done his investigation and was already aware that Angela's parents were murdered. He was already aware Mr and Mrs Anderson adopted Angela when she was 13 years old but he still waited to hear what his father would say."Angela's father, Mr Adams and I were colleagues from the same college. That was where we met, in college. We became friends because we kind of shared the same business ideas. After college my uncle passed and since he didn't have any family and my parents were already gone, he left everything he had for me. I had enough to invest in a business idea we had. We got an additional two people on board and we became the first four CEOs of the business, A.A.M. Group. Even though it was my money, we divided the shares of the business equally because I believe we all contributed to the business. We were into jewellery designs and artefacts. We hit our target
Bryce was back in his home. He took a shower and changed into something more comfortable. He couldn't believe he had just lost his mother in less than 48 hours of burying his sister. The murder weapon used on his sister has been found and it points to Angela as the one who committed the crime. Investigations are still ongoing but Angela has been arrested and is now in a withholding cell. Bryce climbed into bed and rested his head on his pillow with his hand folded behind his head. He was still processing what happened at the station with Angela. Why can't he hate her for killing his sister? Angela is gorgeous, no doubt about it but that wasn't it. He was not lusting after her. There is something about her that makes him want to protect her aside from the fact that she effortlessly draws his feelings to the surface. "What did you do to me, Angela?" Bryce questioned. "And what did Elena do to you for you to harm her this way? Did you shoot my mum too?" he whispered on his lips.Meanw
