Semua Bab Guilty Pleasure: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Ana's PovI have been avoiding my work place since after the incident but today, I finally feel ready to face my fears. I opened my glass door and walked into my saloon, my employees were busy working, on seeing me, my secretary smiled "Welcome back" she said still smiling "we have missed you" she added"Thank you" I said with a quick smile "what's on my list?" I asked not wanting to waste too much time with pleasantries"Well, some of your customers called and I told them you are still out but I can call them back if you want and feel ready of course" she replied"Okay, please do that" I said "Alright, I will do just that and this came for you" she said bringing up a vase of fresh flowers to the top of the table "Oh, I wonder who they are from" I muttered to myselfI carried the verse and when into my office, immediately I dropped it on the table, my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID and it was Ken calling. I answered it"Hello" I said"Did you get the flowers?" He

I wish you hadn't done that, the decision have already being made. I wish you hadn't gone ahead and made a fool out of yourself. Sounding so desperate and pointing fingers. It's pitiful" he said with a smirkThat's when I realized that he already had it all planned out. He really is a snake"Why did you lie?" I asked him disappointed"I didn't lie" he replied sternly relaxing back on his seat"You know you told me to take Mrs. Jones's case" I said impatiently"You shouldn't have said that" he said"Why did you do that?" I asked still trying to get my head around everything that just happened, which is stupid. Why would he encourage Mrs. Jones to sue the firm, it's just not adding up"See, we are going to give you a paycheck and willing to write you up a recommendation letter, that is assuming you are not disbarred" he said arrogantlyYou have got to be kidding me! If anyone told me that this day would come at a time in my life, I would have never believed it. I have to do something."

"Okay, this is bad. Well the first thing you need to do is file a report so you go into record first, I can help out with the rest" he said "Oh okay, that's good. Thank you—" I started"Actually, i–i think I can handle this on my own" he said cutting me off and putting both hands inside his pocket "Liam, he is trying to help" I said to him so he can stop misbehaving and remember the goal after all we did talk about this before he got here but he just ignored me and continued"How old are you? Because you look like you just got out of high school" he said to William who is now confused on what is going on"Thirty-three" he answered still not getting the point of the sudden question thrown at him"Okay look man, we are fine, I will just have a friend help me out with this and he is a really good attorney but thank you, you may go now" he said rudely"Okay, sorry I couldn't be more help" William said still confused on what's going on. I mean I called him out of urgency and asked him to

As I stood there not knowing what to believe anymore, she spoke again"Look at me, look what he did to me. Do you see what he did? You can't see can you? He has blinded you, as you see is what he wants you to see and believe but mark my words, he is going to do this to you, he will. He is not a good person, but of course you can't see that now until it is too late. He beat me, he doesn't care what happens to me. Be careful, he is an isolator, he will try to move you away from your family and your friends, get you all alone, give you a job just so he can control you, control the bag. Sneaking around you like a fucking snake. Control who you talk to, who you see, what you hear, where you go. He is an abuser and he is going to do this to you. He is gonna beat you just like he did me. He is gonna do this to you, he will, you will see" she said groaning in painI stood there and just listened trying to control the fear that is growing rapidly inside me, to control the cold chills that is ci

"Do you have proof of this?" I asked her now very interested"Oh yes I do, your boss Edward is the proof, he is in on it" she said"What? Why would he do that, he is a partner in the firm and his money is involved as well" I asked finding the idea ridiculous"Yeah but not enough to clear off his enormous debts. He is in a lot of debts like a whole lot, so he saw this plan beneficial to him too" she said and I was shocked. This is a revelation all the way. I could use this to end everything. But the question is, why is Mrs. Jones lawyer telling me all this? Is this another trick?"Why are you telling me this?" I asked her watching her expression closely"Let me just say, am in a helping mood. You are a good person, you didn't know what you got in the middle of" she said sipping her drink from her glass. She was right but I didn't like the way she said it. It made me look dumb, I felt a little offended by it"Is that what you think? Nevermind. My question is why are you telling me all th
