‘Has he been hiding this indecent side all along? Here I thought I met a kind man..’ Chantal thought.But after days of being intimate with him, she realized that other than being quite more amorous than expected of someone his age, he didn’t treat her badly.She now has a personal driver and bodyguard who would escort her to her work and back.She lived even more luxurious than before.The only consequence to this was the occasional PDA she had to endure with this older man.Though he didn’t look bad for his age, Chantal still was not attracted to him as her lover.But she knew that he was giving her a comfortable life now. And perhaps, that was enough.Back then, she had decided to steal Henry from Diana, thinking she was in the right since she was in love with him.But that ended badly anyway.Now, she didn’t expect too much. Just that, she would receive whatever is given to her and take this opportunity so she could get back on her feet.Perhaps, she would be able to make a name f
Mortimer glanced at her as she stood up, taking her purse with her.His brow raised at Titus. ‘Does he really trust his woman?’‘Is it true what they say? Titus has lost his touch? The man who killed the mother of his only daughter is now being so trusting towards his new woman?’Mortimer was evaluating whether it was a wise decision to be in a negotiation with Titus.His power was in Great Blackhampton while Titus’s was here in Vapros.Money was here in Vapros since this is the most populous metropolitan in the world. That is why he was unwilling to let go of this connection, otherwise, he should be prepared to go head to head against Titus.Though there are other competitors, Titus was the biggest player in the industry.If he wished, he could block other players from accessing Vapros easily.This didn’t mean however that Mortimer could be blocked by Titus easily.Mortimer has his own tentacles within the Vapros’s government as well as underground just as Titus has in Great Blackham
On her way to the ladies’ bathroom, Chantal straightened her back as if still confident about herself.Her heart hammered against her chest and her cold hand trembled as she gripped her purse while the other was clenched tightly.She felt slight relief once she entered the bathroom without being stopped by anyone.Seeing herself in the mirror, she saw how pale she was at this moment. She had already given herself a tan before she arrived in Vapros but at this moment, she looked almost yellow.Hearing footsteps heading her way, she quickly entered a cubicle and sat down after pulling up her skirt and pushing down her lacy underwear. The very one he had picked for her.She had wanted to throw it away or burn it to crisp as it reminded her of Titus.She heard footsteps nearby, and at that moment her urine trickled down the toilet.It was probably her nerves that she had been holding down since earlier.‘Are they going to open the door? Oh my god!’ She stared at the door in horror.She h
“So, my darling Sophia, what do you think?” Titus smiled at her. But his eyes didn’t carry any warmth.‘Why does he look like a lizard right now?’ Chantal thought.She would have laughed at how her thoughts suddenly went in a different direction but she was reminded of how dangerous her position is in.“Think about what, Darling?” She smiled at him, trying to keep herself calm.“Oh, you know–about what my colleague and I discussed just now.”“Ah.. I honestly am surprised.” She said.Titus raised his brow.He was expecting her to feign ignorance. Now he was even more intrigued.“Surprise about what?”“What kind of business do you have? I was expecting it to be–restaurant businesses, maybe real estate.. You know, the usual.”“Hahaha! Oh I have those too..”“Ah.. Well, then I’m even more surprised. Goodness, I really thought I was already lucky enough to meet such a generous man as you. Someone like me who has no one here. I’m thankful and like I said, feeling lucky. And now to be your l
Chantal thought that Titus was merely monitoring her.Nothing changed in her routine since that day when she met Mortimer.She would wake up in the morning in her own room, get ready for work, then have breakfast–sometimes with Titus, then she would head to the company where she would stay for the whole day. Unless Titus would tell her to come out and join him for lunch, she would only leave the company once she’s done for the day.Dropping off and picking up, the assigned driver on her would be on time.If anything that she could appreciate, it’s that Titus had not called her in the middle of her work which would not cause her to make excuses with the supervisors so she can be excused to leave.Titus would not do this of course. He has a plan for her. But first, she has to build an image of being trustworthy and reliable.This would make it easier for her to approach others.After all, who would ever think that a woman who values professionalism would suddenly be carrying drugs.As f
Back in Great Blackhampton, the Old Patriarch Ernest Lovell and his wife Lillian Forrest-Lovell had reached their destination.From their residence at Oxfield City in the state of Amberhaven, Ernest and Lillian flew on their private plane for an hour to the state of Rimewall.They landed at the airport at Millpoint City where they had to take a 30-minute drive to Westbury City, the place where Adrian was said to have been spotted.Westbury City’s police department had conducted their investigations.Coincidentally, they were also doing a drug sweep in the city and have apprehended any suspicious individuals.Adrian, who appeared to seem out of place through the CCTV, as he was seen always looking around him as if he was hiding from someone, was one of the many people detained.Adrian of course objected to this act from the police.But at this moment, several civilians would prefer this than for the city’s drug problem to continue.Especially when the higher-ups would be dissatisfied w
The man shook his legs nervously under the table, looking at the door, to the light above him and to the mirror in front, then back to the door again. He’s still uncomfortable being in such spaces. It reminded him of what he had gone through for years up until months ago. He had been on the run since then. ‘I have to go back..’ He felt that he had been sitting there too long. At this moment, he just wanted to do what they wanted so they could let him go sooner. Meanwhile, the Officer went to the other room. He didn’t need to relay their conversation verbatimly since the Chief, Ernest and Lillian could hear their conversation in the other room. Lillian was on the phone talking to the employee in one of their branches. Then once she hung up, she turned to the Chief. “He’s outside.” “Okay. I’ll have someone escort him in. Or Detective Jones, can you do it?” He turned to the Officer. “Sure..” He nodded. “He is Doctor Lawrence Murray. A medical geneticist in one of our Institute
Doctor Murray left quickly and returned to the Forrest Research Institute–Westbury location. He had been told to process this as a priority. It made him wonder what the man in the room was involved in. Shaking his head, he decided to place his attention on the test instead. Meanwhile, in the Westbury City Police Department, Ace had just finished his sandwich and is now drinking some water. Ernest and Lillian have temporarily left the other room and were led to a lounge instead. The Chief assured them that they’ll treat the man in the other room with courtesy. Especially since they noticed that the old couple were almost sure that this was their missing son. All they were waiting for is the confirmation. Lillian had wanted to forego the DNA test and just straight out reunite with her son. But Ernest had reminded her again that they couldn’t do that. What if the man was indeed someone’s missing son and their actions might hurt the man if it turns out that they’re not related at
