Chapter 71: The report.

Bryan's POV.“So, do you have a girlfriend or not,” she asked with a serious face, and I swallowed nervously. 'What did she want from me?’ I thought.“No I don't have,” I said with a straight face, and she cleared her throat. “Okay, did you have someone you want to date in mind?” She asked, and I spaced out. I wondered if I should tell her about Giselle or not, but I knew that my mother is persistent, and would not let me be until she knew the girl, so I decided to keep it a secret.“I don't have, Mom, if I have any lady in mind I will let you know,” I said, not having the boldness to tell her that I was in love with a married woman. “Okay, anytime you see a lady that you love, I will support you, regardless of background,” she said, and I smiled. My mom did not believe in class or level, she believed that love doesn't need hierarchy, so they did not accept any betrothal request from any family when I was young unlike others.“Thank you Mom,” I said, and she hugged me. “Ding ding,” a

Bryan's POV.“He drugged his mother, and tied her in a container, she never recovered from the shock of her husband's death till now,” he said from the other end.“Rumor said that he secretly visits his mother some times,” he said from the other end. “How did those people know?” I asked.“The nurses in the health center said, she usually makes noise screaming his name and hurts the nurses whenever they notice an unusual aura, but no one ever saw him, that was just their guess,” he said from the other end.“You said his real father is a sociopath, right?” I asked. “Yes,” he replied from the other end. “Why did he never visit the hometown to claim his son?” I asked. “That's right, the only possibility for the man's silence is death!” He exclaimed from the other end. “Okay how wealthy was his mother before the incident?” I asked. “They lived in a hometown, but they were recognized as a rich family,” he said from the other end.“Is the stepfather rich?” I asked. “No he was just an average

Chapter 73 : Let's Meet Up.

Bryan's POV.“Check your email first, then we can talk,” I said, and he looked at me curiously.He went to his seat, and his eyes widened after seeing the message. He came closer to me, and cleared his throat. “What if we shift the attention of the case from stalking and kidnapping to a murder case?” I suggested, and he smirked with amusement. I knew he might want to play hard to get but I knew he would not throw away the opportunity, he was an outcast for 7 years in his department, all his mate has been promoted, and he did not solve any case that can draw public attention, but the case was the exact thing he was starving for.“So, what should I give you in return?” He asked politely, knowing I did not do it for free. “Good question, Albert Giselle, I want her name to be deleted from the record, I don't want him to be connected to the case in any way, not even as the victim,” I said, and he looked at me with a questioning look.“And why is that?” He asked, and I smirked. “I don't th

Chapter 75: Mrs Bipolar.

Giselle's POV.I spent the whole day sleeping and working on the students' assessment. I felt like my whole body went numb, so I decided to walk around the mansion, breathing the air peacefully without any insults, and the memory of being kidnapped by that psychopath was fading away. I sat on the bench inside the garden, and watched the beautiful sunset. “I wish this feeling could last,” I mumbled to myself. I sighed with relief, and smiled.I checked my phone, expecting a call from someone. “He hasn't called yet,” I said, referring to Bryan, but then I thought I should not be expecting any call from him. I noticed that I was expecting too much from him and I did not want anything to happen between us.“Giselle get your act straight, and stop thinking about him, think about your husband,” I exclaimed, trying to convince myself that I wasn't attracted to Bryan.“Did the Boss call?” Someone asked from behind, and that startled me. “Ahhhhhhhhh!” I screamed, holding my chest. “You scared

Bryan's POV.She hung up the call, and I tossed the phone in the passenger seat. I zoomed out of Mark's apartment, and headed to my house as I adjusted my shirt. I drove on the busy street but then I noticed that I was losing my focus. I was too tired to drive properly, because of what I went through thirteen hours ago.13 hours earlier, I got a call from Mark so I had to go to his apartment. I zoomed into his apartment aggressively, and parked randomly. Three men were waiting outside for my arrival and they bowed as soon as I got down. “Welcome sir,” they chorused. “Where's Mark,” I asked impatiently. “This way sir,” one of the men led the way, and I followed him.We got inside the apartment, but nobody was there because the apartment was just a camouflage. The man shifted a frame, and a door opened. I walked down the stairs and the underground office was spacious, occupied with only computers, and other technology devices. It was busy there. And as soon as I got down, Mark walked t

Kevin's POV.I woke up early to make some breakfast because Audrey didn't eat much last night, and she looked weak to me, but when I was about to go upstairs to call her, I saw her dressed or she didn't even take off her clothes.“You are going this early?” I asked Audrey, who was busy dragging her suitcase. “Give it to me, I will help you,” I collected the bag from her, and took it downstairs.“Let's eat breakfast before you go,” I said, and she shook her head. “What's wrong?” I asked when I noticed that her attitude towards me had changed. “I should go now,” she said, and wanted to leave, but I held back. “Why are you in a hurry? Eat breakfast first and I will take you back home,” I said, but she wasn't willing to hear me. It was like I was talking to a different person. “Audrey, are you okay?” I asked worriedly. “I am very fine, I should go,” she said with an unspeakable attitude, and I started to wonder if I misbehaved why she was sleeping. 'I don't sleep walk' I thought, but I
