SCRAPS LIKE YOU.

“Are you insane, Payton?!”King snapped the moment they entered the elevator after the press conference was over.Payton tilted her head, twitched her mouth upward, and then turned to look at King.“What are you saying?”“What is with those lies you were telling? We met two years ago? I chased you for two weeks?”“Oh?” Payton smiled and palmed her mouth gently.“Oh?” King raised his brows.“I thought it was a lying competition right there. I did not want to lose,” she blinked as she shook her head.King frowned and moved over to her and then, the elevator stopped but instead, he pressed the last floor button again and then covered the space between them.“Lying competition? I told you to keep shut and only watch!”“Why, though? If you can lie as you please, why can’t I? And… Max was my good friend which you were aware of too?” She scoffed and shook her head.Deep down, she was hurt that King had classified Max as that.She was still feeling guilty as she was.What if he saw the news?

A SWEET HUSBAND.

“Another one?” King raised his brows as one of the men in charge removed another bugging device and then gave it to him.He swallowed hard and watched, it was the third one they were removing in the rooms aside from the first one they had gotten.“King,” he turned to look at Dariel who entered the room and then moved away from his spot.“Did you find anything?” He asked.Dariel nodded his head, moved over to King’s table, carried the laptop, and then returned to it.King watched as Dariel inserted the flash drive into the laptop and then waited till the video played.His brows furrowed as he watched the woman who looked around before she plastered the wall with the bugs and his eyes met with Dariel’s.“Is she not the cleaner?” Dariel asked as he stared at the screen again.King tilted his head unsurely and looked also. He had noticed the woman multiple times as she was always going around with buckets, mops, or whatever. Ah… she was the cleaner.“I think she is!” he snapped his finger

MY HUSBAND’S.

“The cops are on their way,” Dariel said to King who finally stepped out of the house too.“Fuck!” King hissed and slapped his forehead.“Why did she have to die?” He questioned while he pointed his index finger at the door.Dariel pressed his lips together and shook his head. This was the least they were expecting.Meeting the woman in her own pool of blood was the last thing they were expecting to see.“I was only going to ask why she did it and who put her up to it,” King lamented again.“Did they kill her because of that?” Dariel asked.King shook his head and then pressed his lips together.All he would have done even if the woman had refused to tell him was threaten her. Not kill her.Whoever was behind this would probably not sit still while they got blown easily, he knew that much.—They waited a bit longer for the cops and when they did, King and Darien moved over to the side while the policemen rushed in.“Mr. Thorn!”King turned to look in the direction of the man who call

ANOTHER MAN.

When it was time for dinner, Payton did not get out of her room and only lay in her bed till it was very late in the night.Tiana was worried about her but Payton did not say anything and only said that she was tired and nothing more.Earlier, a bit after King had his dinner, he had sent Tiana and then asked her why Payton did not have dinner.Tiana told him she did not know why either and later, King called his investigator to look into what Payton did after she left his company in the afternoon.…Payton rolled on her back and then sat up lazily.“Are you okay?” Tiana moved over to her.“Did I worry you? I’m sorry,” she said and stared at the wall clock.“It is past nine, you should have retired to your quarter,” Payton said as she stooped up.“No, not when you are like this,” Tiana shook her head.“Or did the boss offend you?” “King?” Payton furrowed her brows and stood up.“That man will be the last person to put me in this mood,” she burst into laughter.“Then…”Payton smacked h

A MISTAKE.

King did not know what offended him more. Maybe it was him catching the woman from falling or the woman not pulling away from him and resting comfortably in his chest.How the hell did even catch her?!He pushed her away from himself rather roughly and watched as she struggled to balance herself.“If you know you can’t handle yourself, I don’t know why you drank then.”Maybe he knew…He had gotten the report that she had visited her father’s house after she left work and coincidentally, Max was there.King did not know what happened there but he knew that whatever might have happened had caused her to not have dinner and then get herself drunk this way.Did she get to talk to her ex?He hated that she was still in touch with that man and he wanted for nothing than to force word out of her mouth.“You met Max today, what did you talk about?” He asked.Payton raised her head to look at him while she staggered and then burst into tears.“He… he did not even look at me.”King pulled his b

YOU KNOW…

“I did not ask you to drink, Payton,” King hissed and moved away from her.“It has been very tough and depressing living here with you. You can only imagine why I drank myself to sleep,” she said, and he drew his brows together.It was tough and depressing so she drank herself to sleep?How was that his business?“Are you blaming me for what happened yesterday?”Payton tilted her brows in confusion and he continued.“I know you met your ex boyfriend.”Payton twitched her mouth and frowned. How did he know about that?She was sure she had not told anyone that so how did he know?Was he stalking her?He definitely was having her followed. Maybe.“You are having me followed?” She asked him and he chuckled mockingly.“You don’t even worth that.”“Then how did you know I was at my father’s house yesterday?”“Why were you there?” He asked her instead.“The last time I checked, it was my father’s house. I do not need to be questioned about the reason I was there.”“What did you discuss with

DIG FURTHER…

“I went there with my friend to see her and I met her that way. So, we made the call,” King said as he clasped his hands together.Detective Alfred nodded his head and looked around the office again. “As I have assumed, Mrs. Valerie was murdered… by a professional at that. There is no evidence or fingerprints at the scene and we can only assume that it was done out of grudge. There is nothing missing in her house, or anything added.”“So, you think it’s a revenge murder or something?” King shook his head as he said.“You don’t think it is?”King had looked into Alfred so he was certain that the man was good at his job and in fact, was not corrupted, so, it would not be bad if he told him things from his own point of view.“I do not think so,” King shook his head.“Why? If I may ask.”“I think she was murdered to be silenced,” he shrugged his shoulders off.“What?”“A couple of days ago, I found a bug in my office and I checked the CCTV, so she was found there. I had gone to her house

MURDERS.

“Who made her do it? I don’t understand,” King shook his head as he stared intensely at the screen.“I don’t know, but all I’m sure of is that a woman gave her the order. Fuck, I should have checked properly!” Dariel punched his fist on the table.“How did you get it? I thought you had checked it before?”“Remember what happened with the cleaner? So, I thought of digging further. I returned to the hotel to check the CCTV and I saw this,” he collected the phone, swiped it then showed him.It was a video of the woman in a corridor before she entered the VIP quarter adding something to the drink.“Hell, I told you I could not have gotten drunk on that drink! No way!” King banged the table and walked over to Dariel.“And she is dead too?”“The same way the cleaner died. Stabbed to death and the knife was found away from her corpse. I think they are leaving the knife on purpose.”“Why?”“Probably to let us know that they are around or something. I mean, most murderers always leave with thei

IF I COULD…

“Here?” He pointed his hand at the door and the lady answered him.“You may leave.”He pushed the door open after the woman had walked away and he entered the room slowly.This room was one of the biggest rooms in his house and also the one that had the most lighting.When he first built this house ten years ago, he had made it his room because of how huge it was and the natural lighting from the sun and the air that comes in every day.After, he refurbished his house and moved to the quarter upstairs.He walked gently, enough to not make noise, and then stared at the back side of the woman who was focused on her painting.He stretched his head to check the painting and when he caught a glimpse of it, he raised his brows in amazement.About two months ago, he had come across her work and had gotten about three different pieces of them because he loved them.He was a huge lover of art and he recognized one when he saw them.Under the pseudonym ‘Nabi’, Payton had made several paintings u

OR MAYBE NOT.

“Is this you stylishly admitting that you could kill a person?”King ignored the anger that clouded her face and he asked her.Payton swallowed the lump in her throat and curled her fist into a tight ball.She could take any name. She could accept any names he had called her… but, not a murderer.She was already palpitating and her hands were starting to shake, instead, she hurriedly hid them behind her.The last thing she wanted was to let this man find out her weakness.“Y… you…” she breathed heavily.“I mean, I was only asking a question and all you could say was that. You said you could kill me. Does that not mean that if you had the chance, you would kill me?” He asked as he stared at her intensely.“S… stop talking like that,” she exhaled.“Like how? Am I making sense? Do you hate that I am telling the truth?”“I did not kill anyone and I never will!” She screeched and then panted laboriously.King squinted his brows as he stared at the woman whose breathing was starting to get
