Chapter 31— Confrontation

The next day, I was pulling into the compound. Three days spent from home. One to figure out where the girl was staying. Two to go to her and here I was the next day.I got out of the car and headed into the living room and at once, Lorraine reached me. “Welcome,” she smiled wholeheartedly and pulled me in for a side hug that was very quick.“I'll prepare your bath. Warm water right?”“Yes,” I nodded. When I need to think, I used the cold water but not at the moment. I wanted to be relaxed.“I'll go now,” she told me and I headed towards my room when Lorraine called me, “you didn't ask about Cora.”At that, I stopped. “Yes, I didn't.”“Why?” She reached me and gazed at me, “I thought things were better between you two now, is it not?”“No,” I replied sharply. “Things can't be better between me and her,” it was a short statement but a very comprehensible one.“Really?” The faint voice asked and I raised my head to see Cora descending from the stairs. “That's why you thought of doing th

Chapter 32— She wanted a divorce

Cora's POVI looked miserable and it made me hate myself. The time I looked like this was when I finally left the goddamn marriage. My eyes snapped shut while I felt the emotions deeply.The protection that day in front of Fernando. How Calvin stood up for me. Was it a lie? Or was it because he felt guilty that he caused all of that?Guilt? Hell no. He wasn't even guilty. He wasn't guilty when I confronted him yesterday. I shut my eyes. How'd I let it happen?The girl that trusted people slowly slipped back into me. I was beginning to see him as a better person. And he wasn't. First, he made that monster come after me.And he posted a video where a young girl was on the whole internet being forcefully touched. What kind of psycho is that?At the word Psycho, everything in me stopped. Jayden mentioned it. He did! He said Calvin was a Psycho. Was he really one?I shut my eyes. Did I escape a Psycho to be with another? Heavens. I needed all of that to stop. Standing up, I headed to the

Chapter 33— Hiring

Cora's POVDressed in a high waist trouser with an off shoulder dress and a pointed heel, I looked like the Cora I wanted. Holding on to my handbag, I bade Lorraine goodbye and headed out. I was working on how to gain more visibility for my company so I'll get more work to handle.When I reached the car, Brandon was already waiting and I gazed at him. Calvin gives him all the orders, did he know about what Calvin did?“Did you know Calvin was at the party?” I asked out of nowhere and Brandon froze for a second before he regained his posture.“What night ma?”“So, you're playing dumb huh? You both literally work together, what did I expect?”“I later found out when I got to know he was at the company that night. I'm sorry for keeping it from you,” Brandon bowed but I was too stunned to speak.And no words came out of my mouth. I ignored him as I made my way to the car and settled down. Brandon exhaled then ignited the engine and in no time, I was in front of my enterprise.I headed in

Chapter 34— Charity event

Cora's POV“You two are definitely doing great jobs,” I patted Kaylee's and Iris' backs. We just came from a wedding party and the photography was on point. Then we had to add music to the videos we took.And send it to them to complete the job.“I'm so glad. It's always been my dream,” Kaylee smiled as I watched them.It was the best decision I made. Having the two of them to work for me. Iris took care of taking pictures most of the time and Kaylee is best at positioning.I bet we would do a great job for the big event ahead. With governors and important people attending, I looked forward to the event.The first contract Calvin helped us secure. In just a week, we'd be attending it.“We'll soon be done for today,” I said and iris raised her head.“Should we all have dinner together?”I stopped. Dinner? “I would have but I'm tired. Another day Iris, okay?”“Alright,” they both smiled. They rounded up the imputing of the videos onto the system and soon, they were out. I headed to the

Chapter 35— Meeting the governor

“Lester.” Calvin said and I raised my head. “Who's that?”Lester? When did I mention him? Yesterday. When I had a conversation with Alicia. So he heard everything?“Remember to stay out of my business,” I smiled through the statement and Calvin's gaze hardened. Yesterday, I left the event before him and Lorraine woke me up in the morning saying that Calvin wanted to have a discussion with me.“If this is why you called me here, then I better take my leave.” I stood and he scoffed.“I don't care about any Lester but don't cause problems for me, Cora.” It was a warning.“Do you have anything to say?”Calvin gazed at me and I settled down at his look. He definitely has something to say. “Brandon will pick you up by 2pm to my office. We have to meet a guest together.”His office. I paused. I had never been there. “Why? Who are they?”“You will know by then,” Calvin wiped his mouth and stood, heading out of the dining room. Too much audacity. I rolled my eyes and stood. I was already dress

Chapter 36— It might be your last

A week had never been that fast. Everything happened in the blink of an eye. And then we were on the way to the wedding hall. I was going with Brandon. Calvin also was attending but we were going at different times.“I'm really excited,” Iris said beside me and turned to me with a grin, “I have never attended a wedding party before.”“What? Are you for real?” I asked surprised. She has never attended a wedding?“Yeah,” Iris nodded. “I was sick while growing up. I grew up mostly in the hospital.” Her voice lowered down while I stared, completely surprised.She was sick?“That's why I like you. You like when people like me recover and get to start living.”To say I was shocked was an understatement. She grew up sick? “I'm sorry,” I leaned into her and that moment, I gave her a hug relating to her situation.When I made to talk, the car pulled into the parking lot and came to a halt.“We're here ma'am,” Brandon said and I got out with Iris.“I'll take the equipment in,” Brandon said whil

Chapter 37— Wine — drugged

Laughter echoed in the room as excitement cackled. People popped champagne and waiters walked around. It was the reception. The party took a turn when the bridal train came in, rejoicing.Another important moment I had to capture. The entrance of the bridal train. The females were in pitch coloured gowns while the men wore white coloured suits.The colours were different but it was still in synchronization. As they came in and I made sure to capture all of the dance celebration and soon enough it was time to cut the cake.Another important moment.To capture everything, we all worked relentlessly and soon people were partying and all we had to do was take random pictures.“Tada!” A voice screamed behind me and I turned to see Kaylee.“You're here?’“Surprise!” She screamed and jumped. “I came as someone's date.” She told me and I saw her blush. “Not introducing him, huh?” I chuckled as I thought of it. With her presence here, I was sure she was the one at the charity event. Then she

Chapter 38— Disaster

I stirred in my sleep but stopped at once at the scent that filled my nostrils. It was vastly different. At once, my eyes snapped open as I scanned the room I was in.And slowly, the memories came together and my eyes widened. Lester. After he called a waiter and I took the drink, I slept off. Does that mean he drugged me? Rage spiked up in my blood as I stood.I was sure he did it for Alicia. I headed to the door and to my surprise it clicked open and I was on the passageway.A throbbing headache pounded in my head while I struggled to walk and soon, I heard the clicking of cameras and I stopped.The videos. The pictures we took yesterday. Who handled them? As I hurried to the direction, a voice came, “I thought everyone evacuated! Who's that?”“Me?” I hurried to the direction wondering what was going on and as soon as I sighted them, I was shocked. Police officers?“Where have you been hiding?” A bass voice queried and hurried towards me while I glanced around. The whole hall had

Chapter 39— Sense of relief

“Kaylee?” My jaw dropped. “What… did you…”“I did it. I deleted the videos.”“Really?” The bride screamed and at once hurried to Kaylee and landed a slap on her. “Really? So you must have participated in his poisoning, am I correct.”“No” Kaylee shook her trembling head, held her cheeks and turned to me and no, no guilt was in her eyes. Rather she looked innocent. Like she always did. “I overheard you telling Mrs Logan those were the moments you badly cherished. And I deleted them.”“Kaylee —” my jaw dropped. What was she saying? She wasn't even with us yesterday. I had gotten the instructions of the whole wedding single handedly.“And why did you do that?” The bride screamed, pain evident in her voice.“Because I hate seeing people happy,” at once the governor's daughter screamed and landed another slap on Kaylee and we heard gasps.Turning, we saw a reporter with his hold on his camera and before the bride could order, he was running off for dear life.“So, will you release her now

Chapter 40— Solve your problems

I had managed to hold Calvin down last night and it was the best because raging that way, I knew he could actually do something worse than what he's accused of. Now, he had to go search for the truth before he's taken for what he didn't do which I bet would be very bad. I grabbed my jacket and headed out of the room and as soon as I got to the living room, I sighted calvin and the memory of what we had last night replayed in my head.The way he held me, the rough kisses that made my belly simmer and my toes curl up. It was insane but that didn't mean we were on good terms.For him to accuse me of conniving with Lester made me beyond shocked and infuriated.“Where are you headed?” He asked even though his eyes were buried into his computer as he had creases on his forehead.I needed no soothsayer to tell me it was his company issues. The prices had gone down with investors withdrawing and on the internet, everything had turned to chaos. “None of your business,” I casually said, reme
