Another two months had passed and everything was at peace. The syndicate was in a safe zone, and her company was going well. It was too perfect to be true but she was enjoying the pleasure of the peaceful environment she thought she wouldn't experience. Until a defamation case occurred. "What is it now?" The annoyance is heard in her voice as Angelica hands her a tablet with a news article about their company. She seemed nervous to see Dianne's reaction as she should. Dianne slammed her hands on the table before standing up. She furiously walks out of her office while Angelica, her assistant in the company, follows behind her. "Reporters are waiting outside for an announcement," she whispered."Clear the way, I don't want a single reporter a meter near me," she ordered and her assistant immediately called the guards to tell them what to do. Her heels echoed as the employees in her company moved out of her way. She's a kind CEO yet deadly when messed with. Once the guards opened th
"Are you insane?!" She blinked a couple of times before gulping as Harrison scolds her. She moved away from him before grabbing a cupcake. "You know his connection to the chaos we have right now, right? Ever since you stopped contact with that man, the elites have been laying low. God knows what they'll do once the news spreads to them," he said in frustration before he sat down on a couch. She pouted, realizing she was being careless. "Sorry?" She doesn't know if she should apologize or not, making him scoff. "Talk to Angelica then…" Putting the blame on her friend while pouting, Harrison left the room to confront her friend. He never talked to Angelica, nor looked at her. He knows she's friends with Dianne but he doesn't want to get involved with her as she doesn't know about the syndicate. Harrison sighed heavily as he saw her talking to other employees. He walked in their direction but stopped in his tracks when another man intentionally spilled coffee on her. He watched as she
The case was resolved and Dianne's reputation was still tarnished because of how she blew a punch on Mr. Smith but some netizens view it as a well-deserved punch because of how he disrespected her deceased parents and her ability as the head of a corporation. Two days after the case ended, she called Silvester to her office for the check for his payment. Though, she was surprised to see Harrison waiting in her office. "And why are you here?" she asked before rolling her eyes. "Can I not surprise my master?" he teasingly asked and her lips parted before she hysterically laughed. "Master?" she asked with raised eyebrows as she walked over to him. "I brought you a cake to celebrate winning the case." He opened a box and the aroma of the cake spread inside the room as Dianne smelled the delicious flavor of strawberry. "And chocolate." He winked at her before throwing a bar of chocolate in her direction and she caught it. She excitedly ran in his direction before hugging him. "Thank yo
"YOU IMBECILES!" Her voice gave everyone a new thing to be fearful of. She massaged the temples on her forehead before the horrific incident played over and over inside her mind. She feels like crying yet no tears are coming out of her tired eyes. "I told you to not harm him!" she screamed as her emotions got to her, making her weakness appear. She was almost breaking before Harrison took it upon himself to order everyone out. "Leave," he commanded everyone in the room. He clenched his jaw and Dianne's tears fell on the ground. "Dianne…" He bent down and massaged her back. "I still… I still cared about him! Even if he betrayed m-me. Now he's… dead." She covered her mouth as she silently cried. (Flashback) The time was ticking and the night was growing darker. They had a lead as to where Rae could be as many of them were looking for him. Dianne grows anxious, she wants to catch him because he's an important person to know more about the elites but she also still cares for him. "
HER PHONE kept ringing while Silvester's taking care of her. He had no choice but to answer it himself despite what the other line might think. Upon answering the call, he heard Harrison's worried tone. "She's with me," Silvester simply uttered and the other line went silent. "Why is she with you?" Harrison's annoyance grew, ready to scold Dianne again because of her stupidity. He already told her to avoid Silvester but she's stubborn as a bat. "She was drugged." His eyes widened. "What?! Where are you?" His heart almost fell out of his chest waiting for Silvester's answer. "Take her where no one can see he–" He was cut off. "She's in my house," he uttered before telling him the location of his house. Harrison rushed to get to her. Only a few minutes passed by and he already arrived in front of the said house. Harrison didn't waste any time, once the door opened for him, he barged in without the permission of Silvester. "Where's Dianne?" He looked around and spotted her on the cou
THE DOOR suddenly opened and Dianne pushed him away. Silvester cursed, forgetting to lock the front door. She wiped her lips before going into the living room to check the door only to find Harrison entering. "Do you not know how to knock?" Silvester asked in an annoyed tone while blankly staring at him. "If you don't mind, I'll be taking her home now," he declared before holding her shoulders and spinning her around to check if there was something wrong with her or not. "I'm fine," she said while he continued spinning her around. "You didn't do anything to her, did you?" Harrison questioned and her cheeks turned bright red that she had to cover them with her hands. Silvester kept his cool, acting oblivious to what happened just a few seconds ago. "Nothing," he answered. "I'll take you to your house." He grabbed her things before opening the front door and she followed behind. "See you around, Dianne," Silvester said with happiness evident in his voice. "No!" Harrison shouted be
HARRISON heard the news that spread like wildfire. Dianne was already caught up with a court case, now she's dealing with an armed fugitive at a restaurant. And my god, the media loves to spread everything they can. She was already on fire, now she's jumping into a volcano."Shoot the fucking man, god damn it!" he shouted in irritation before standing up from his seat. "We can't," the other line uttered. "He's holding a gun to her head," they said and his eyebrows furrowed. He looked at the TV and saw the live broadcast of the man bringing her out with a gun pointed at her. "Is this man a random fugitive or is he involved with us in a way?" he asked but they couldn't answer him. "Investigate it, you idiots!" His nervousness and worry are getting to him, wondering how the hell did the man get an upper hand with Dianne. He packed his bag before leaving the office. He put on an earpiece and a hat, looking like a hitman. He walked down the hall with a furious face. BEFORE Dianne was c
THE WOMAN with blonde long hair was looking out her window while drinking red wine. The sun brushed her fair skin as her lips formed a smirk. "I warned her to stay away from Silvester," she uttered as her eyes watched the streets. She turned her head around and looked at her assistant. "How is it going?" she asked before putting her lips on the glass. "They’ve met," her assistant uttered in a low voice before bowing her head. The blonde woman smiled before taking a sip. "The prisoner and Dianne?" she asked to make sure and she was satisfied when her assistant nodded. "They’ve finally reunited. Let the show begin," She laughed maniacally as her assistant cringed in fear. Her assistant gulped before bowing her head and exiting the room silently. DIANNE and the man went back inside the restaurant and he tied her to a chair. She looked around and saw her phone across the room, realizing she accidentally dropped it. She looked at the old man who was still pointing his gun at her. "You
