Chapter 27: " Yes, a sting operation. "Tess and Lucas had a great time together, Lucas planned the entire date so they had the entire day to themselves. They first had a light lunch at a nearby snack shop, a rom-com movie date at the cinema, two rollercoaster trips and finally a walk round the cherry blossom path in the park then a drive back home. Luke came to open the door gloomily and sent Lucas back with an unfriendly gaze. He had been so bored all day watching Korean dramas himself. Tess pacified him with kisses all over his face and a bag of snacks she bought along with. Tess finally resumed work the next day, she blamed her absence on a sudden illness and her superiors and team members ate it up. She resumed working on Jamie's case with Luuk. Luuk, being skilled with acquiring information and hacking surveillance cameras, provided Tess with video clips of all the cameras within thirty radius to Mr Williams, the commissioner of police's home. Tess's current dilemma was la
Chapter 27: "Thank you director Luke." Luuk assembled all the employees in the department of software engineering and the ground breaking news was announced to them. They all had different reactions to the news depending on their category. The people that were promoted obviously had a positive reaction to the news likewise the people that go to keep their jobs. But the people that were demoted but got to retain their positions had a lot to say but not as much as those that were laid off. "Good day everyone." Luuk greeted the room filled with the employees audibly. As if oblivious to his presence, they continued with their affairs, talking amongst each other. Luuk was calm in the midst of the storm. His personal assistant panicked and tried to calm the crowd but they refused to listen and flared up even more. Luuk raised the microphone to his lips level slowly, his eyes scanned through the rowdy room and he spoke slowly. " You can all leave now.""What?" One of the men that were be
Chapter 29: "HI Mr Williams."Tess stepped into "Club Highland " with two bodyguards clad in black walking on her both sides. She garnered attention as soon as she stepped in donning transparent stiletto heels complementing her shimmering red sequin, tight-fitting, mini dress with a face full of makeup. A refined beauty. Her bright red lipstick and smokey dark eye makeup made her appear seductive and wild, just like Mr Williams liked it according to the Intel provided by Luke. A charming smirk lingered on her face as she strode in confidently. Her eyes travelled to a specific corner of the room and she smiled inwardly as she sighted her prey. She calculated her steps and angle at which she would drop her bracelet in front of the old man to create a reason for conversation and turned to her bodyguards and initiated a farce conversation to appear busy and avoid eye contact with Mr Williams. As she walked past, she dropped the loose bracelets dangling on her wrist and between her finge
Chapter 30:"I will pour you a drink dear Williams." Ruben’s eyes deepened, his gaze pierced Tess's skin as if looking to see her intention for coming. Tess noticed his gaze but brushed it off, facing Mr Williams. Mr Williams eyes glimmered at the sight of the beauty showing obvious interest in him, the joy in his heart spilled beyond control when he noticed Tess ignored Ruben just to talk to him, Ruben the hottest, most successful and most talked about young man in the city of Amsterdam and the whole nation. "HI Miss… Jannsen I presume?" "Yes, Miss Janssen" Tess flashed a seductive smile and winked, deliberately highlighting the "Miss". She stretched her out to shake Mr Williams, her eyes never left his face. Mr Williamś fat red cheeks widened, as he flashed Tess a polite smile, reaching forward to shake her hands. "That concludes this meeting." Ruben suddenly stood up. He grabbed Tess's stretched out hand and pulled her up towards the exit. "Let go of me Mr Ruben, I am serious
Chapter 31:"Y-You… that bitch sent you?""That bitch bit a huge chunk of my skin off like a wild animal." Mr Williams eyes deepened as he relived the sour memories. He laughed in intoxication and continued. "You know what I did? Hahaha I pushed the young bitch again the pink dressing mirror I got her off 70 percent discount and fuxked shxt out of her until her legs were weak and her internal organs displaced from their original position." A confident smile appeared on his face as if proud of his inhumane deeds. " Took her to my usual doctor, James, that bastard had been demanding too much lately because of the stupid lawyers whose name and company I didn't even bother to check, that insignificant bitch. Apparently she's now a plaything for Julian, I can't even touch her anymore. Then again, what do I need a broken shoe for. Once a shoe is used over and over again,broken, fixed and used again, it has to be tossed out. " Mr Williams downed another drink. Tess sucked in a deep breathe
Chapter 32: " How dare you crave my woman, are you courting death?" Tess kicked his lips with her thin heels, her heels burrowed into his mouth, threatening to rip it apart, breaking two of his teeth in the process. "Arghhh- mmffhhh mmffhhh" Mr Williams screamed in horror and pain, muffling the sound seconds after from a glance at Tess. "Let's start by correcting your language. From now on, it's Miss Jamie, do you understand?" Tess hung one hand on her hip and the other held the knife, swinging it in the air. Mr Williams nodded nonstop like a lizard, he had never experienced true fear even in the process of chasing notorious burly criminals with guns and axes. " Alright, here, wipe your hands and sign right there." Tess handed him a napkin, a pen and pointed to the spot she wanted him to sign. Mr Williams didn't even bother to read the rest of the documents, he signed all the space Tess instructed him to meekly." Good, easy isn't it? If I had taken a soft approach, you would ha
Chapter 33: "Ruben De Vries, answer me!" Are you still in denial of your feelings?!"Let's go." Ruben withdrew his gaze from Mr William's unconscious figure and left.He knew Mr William's bodyguards knocked out by his bodyguards would soon regain consciousness and rush him to the hospital so there was no need to call an ambulance. He could order his bodyguards to call an ambulance but he refused to, as long as Mr Williams doesn't die, even if he's brain dead, as long as he is conscious enough to attend the court hearing, Ruben had no intention to help. He was that ruthless. If Tess didn't have a case with Mr Williams, Ruben would have made sure he disappeared without a trace, and suffer a fate worse than death. … Tess woke up the next morning feeling great. The court hearing was the next day, she had to resume work early to make sure all the proper paperwork was ready, the evidence was submitted and all other necessary procedures. Luke tagged along gingerly. Compared to working
Chapter 34: Mr William's doom. "That's enough, leave quietly I will call you later." Ruben stood up to leave. Brittany summoned all of her strength, she grabbed the hem of his shirt and pushed him against the wall, staring into his blue eyes. Tears crystals fell from her eyes as she leaned in closer for a kiss. In contrast to the myriad of emotions Brittany was displaying, Ruben remained calm, until she leaned in closer and closer to his lips. Her face structure started changing, her previously brown eyes darkened until it was dark like the night sky but reflecting the stars of the seven galaxies. The unnatural contour of her nose smoothed like a honed pavement, carefully and naturally crafted. Her bright red lips turned a luscious natural pink shade and assumed a heart shape. He saw Tess then all of a sudden, the illusion disappeared and Brittany was an air close to his lips. His eyes widened in shock and he threw his head to the side, avoiding her lips. Brittany opened her eyes
