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
CHAD'S SECRET IS OUTThere was fire on the mountain.Maria Jones was playing with fire and she knew that she could get burnt badly but she did not care. Her relationships hit the rock because of this issue.She had been working nonstop just so she could get answers but it seemed like anytime she got close to having an answer, she met a dead end. It was beginning to get frustrating.She did not want to resort to the second plan because it was a breach of trust but then again she needed answers. After much consideration, she decided to trail Chad to his debtor.She knew just the right person to contact. She knew a guy at a car dealership that could rent her a car for the day. She put a call through."Carl car insurance, how may we help you," a voice belonging to an old man answered."Hi Carl, I would like to rent a car," she replied."I'll be damned! Maria Jones is that you?" Carl happily exclaimed."Yep, same old me," Maria fondly replied.Maria had helped Carl with his online car deal
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
CAUGHT"A new reform is going to be established, no more secret emergency deals," Matteo proclaimed, as he stood up signifying the end of the meeting.The remaining eleven board members trudged out of the conference room dejected. The meeting had been an utter disaster."I would like to have a word with you Matteo," The middle aged man in glasses said gently to Matteo. He was the head of the board and he seemed anxious about something.Matteo turned his attention towards the man, his eyes rapt with attention."We are currently breaching a contract, Matteo, I hope you know that?" The man cautioned"I am aware of that, and whatever the consequences are, I am sure we'll deal with it...together this time" Matteo answered."The consequences may be too dire if we don't thread carefully," The man insisted.Matteo was becoming more annoyed by the minute he spent with this worrisome member of the board."Then we breach the contract carefully then," Matteo nonchalantly said. "We will talk more
"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
A DEAL WITH THE DEVILIf looks could kill, then Priscilla would have dropped dead.For the way Maria glared at her if she had a gun; then she would have shot Priscilla by now.Maria was going through a barrage of emotions, she sat rigid wishing Chad would look her in the eyes. She was not even ashamed she just pitted him greatly."Well, this must be quite uncomfortable for you, Chad. You must want a little dignity don't you?" Priscilla slithered while she looked from Maria to Chad who was still pressing her foot.She had always liked a bit of drama and this was just the type of entertainment she wished she could have every day. It amused her that Chad actually had a girlfriend who cared about him. She was enjoying playing the villain in their little love game."Enough!" Maria yelled, unable to contain her anger at the humiliating treatment of her boyfriend.Chad flinched and stopped immediately. He looked to the side and hid his face. He was too ashamed to look up at her."Who said y
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
JEALOUSY AT ITS HIGHESTDiana was diligent when it came to her job, she knew that she had been extremely lucky to land something like this, so she was going to give it all she got. She arrived at the office early every day, stayed late, and worked tirelessly. She was done for today and it had been a very dramatic day at work. Her secret had been blown but her husband had taken it surprisingly well.She wondered what he was thinking right now as she fought the urge to go to his. She got up and decided to see Nicholas in his office, she needed to let him know about the pictures that had mysteriously appeared on her desk. As she entered his office, she noticed he was not on seat. Her phone rang, it was Matteo calling. She groaned. "What does he want now?" Diana complained loudly as she answered. "Diana, I would like to see you in my office right away," Matteo said firmly. Diana rolled her eyes in frustration. "I am on my way," Diana said. Diana composed herself and hung up the pho
