INVESTIGATIONSMaria paced the floor of her room as she pondered on Chad's situation. The rays of the sun shimmering into the room got her distracted for a split second before she got her head back in the game.Maria investigated Chad's illegal dealing in order to find out who was blackmailing her ex boyfriend. She was still very much mad at Chad but there was something about the way he looked ashamed whenever he denied his wrong doing."I wonder why I keep trying to help him. Why do I still trust him? Why don't I just give up on him?" Maria asked herself.She sighed. She knew that even if she asked herself the question a million times, nothing would stop her from continuing the investigation. She cared about Chad this much.She wiped her tears away and went through a file she had acquired through her investigations.She eventually found out that Chad acquired the service of a loan shark who seemed very mysterious. However, the location was another issue because this figure knew how t

DANGER IS LURKING'I will be watching you.'Diana's hand shook uncontrollably as she stared at the written message. She swallowed hard and moved to the pictures. Her heart sank deep within her ribcage. Her lips began to tremble and she had to fight to control her emotions. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead and she felt herself turning pale.Guessing the type of woman her opponent was, she wondered just how many copies Priscilla had in her possession. This was a huge case of bad timing."How did I get myself stuck with Priscilla?" She asked herself in dismay.She placed her hand on her forehead and massaged it to reduce the migraine that had started forming.Suddenly, her office did not feel so peaceful and inviting anymore. She felt uncomfortable just sitting in her chair. She felt as if her world was about to come crumbling down.Things were beginning to make sense in her life for once and Priscilla had to ruin it. She rued the day they met at the museum, if only she could turn b

THE CONFERENCE MEETINGNicholas Wilson had been working for Matteo Armani's company as a senior manager for over five years. He was dedicated to his work and had always received appreciation and rewards from his superiors. However, things started to change when Matteo Armani took over as the new CEO of the company.The first sign of trouble for Nicholas was when he was not invited to the crucial meeting with the CEO and other high-ranking officials of the company. Nicholas assumed that it was an oversight and didn't think much of it. However, he soon realized that Matte had deliberately excluded him from the meeting.One day, he was called into Matteo's office where he was reprimanded for a mistake that was not his fault. Even though Nicholas tried to explain the situation, Matteo was unyielding and berated him in front of his colleagues. This behavior was completely out of character for Matteo, and Nicholas couldn't understand why he was being treated unfairly.Things continued to sp

"You went on a date with him? Really?after how many days apart? " Matteo asked, looking very disgusted."It wasn't a date," Diana coldly said, refusing to look Matteo in the eye"So what was it?" Matteo asked, trying to keep the rage in his voice from showing."It was a fundraiser!" Diana said desperately."So you decided to play Cinderella at the after party?"Matteo asked sarcastically. "Yes, I might as well make the most out of this situation," replied Diana, determinedly.She rolled up her sleeves and started to work on the project with full dedication and focus, ignoring all distractions and obstacles."Do you like him?" Matteo asked, looking very disgusted."That is none of your business," Diana coldly said."Technically, we're still married, so it rightfully concerns me," Matteo replied defensively. "I just want to make sure you're not using it to your advantage,"Diana's smirk unsettled him."And what advantages would that be?" She asked, raising an eyebrow,"You know what I me

THREATENED BY THE DEVIL Nicholas locked himself in the office and ignored anyone that knocked. He needed time to process everything that had transpired. The phone continued to ring and emails piled up, but he remained quiet.He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. When he opened them, he knew that his boss had crossed the line and he couldn't wait to get even.He reluctantly went on his office computer and searched for Sapphire Diamonds, he copied the company number and put a call through to make an appointment. However, his experience with James Molten and his daughters pushed him to do his own research about what kind of family they were.He got up from his office chair and went straight to Diana's office, he needed to confirm something. He walked quickly and knocked on her door."Come in," Diana answered from the other side of the door.He entered with a polite smile on his face."Hey, I was just wondering before I go, did you by any chance tell Matte
