"You are not in love with Fred Elly. You are just infatuated. Now come with me.” Sylvia said and continued pulling her best friend toward her chamber. “I’ll show you around the house before we get to my room.”A few minutes later, they made their way into the spacious room. Sylvia dropped Eleanor’s bag on the king-size bed. “So this used to be Luna’s room, the head chef. She fell ill and I had to move in after I was declared the head chef.”Eleanor moved to the open window on her left and stood with her arms folded across her chest. She was looking at a distance but was staring at nothing in particular.“Do you know that the wing we just left behind belonged to Master David?” Sylvia asked. She was taking out Eleanor’s clothes from the bag and putting them in the closet.“Yea, Leonard’s devilishly handsome son as you say,” Eleanor replied without turning around.Sylvia smiled. “I’m sure you’ll go nuts when you see him. Fred is handsome but David is just…” She stopped and turned to Elea
Fred swallowed the lump in his throat as he tried to make sense of the spectacle before him. “What the hell are you doing?”Eleanor stood before him, so close that air could barely pass between them. She looked up at him, staring into his eyes, and at that point, Fred knew she was dying to have him.Fred held up her passionate stare. There was no denying that she was incredibly hot and was beginning to turn him on but he knew that if he gives in to her, he will be dancing to the tune of lust.He took two steps backward and Eleanor let out a gasp.Why was he being so hard when she was standing right in front of him, almost naked? All he had to do was make a move and she’ll get him grunting in pleasure. She decided to take the bull by the horn after looking down at the bulge in his trousers.“I know you want me. I want you too.” She spat and was about to grab his dick when he quickly moved away.Fred folded his arms across his chest and broke into a dry laugh. “You must be mistaken.” He
Arrangements at the Wells mansion are in top gear as several vendors led by June kept arriving at the mansion to check the spot they’ll be working at. The caterers came to check up the space they’ll be setting their wares and so did the decorators, florist, and other renowned brands June was working with.Leonard had opted for a simple, yet classy party. Only a few of his business associates, his friends, old buddies, and some people from the clubs he belonged to were invited. The total number June was working with is 75 persons.Sylvia was in the kitchen trying to fix breakfast for the Wells when Fred walked in.“Hi, I’ve been looking all over the house for you since yesterday,” He told Sylvia the moment he caught a glance at her standing by the oven.She turned to him with a sigh. “I’ve been up and doing. The party is tomorrow. Miss Castello has been keeping us on the edge.” She replied and darted her gaze to the shiny parcel he was holding. “What’s that?” she asked and cocked her h
By the time Sylvia made it outside the store, June was already stepping inside the vehicle with her brows furrowing in anger. Sylvia hurried toward the car but June slammed the door to the back seat in Sylvia’s face June gave Sylvia a glare that says don’t you dare come close.Before Denim stepped on the wheels, he gave Sylvia an apologetic look. He then drove away, leaving behind a frustrated Sylvia. Luckily she was carrying her handbag which had a few dollars stuffed in it. She hailed a cab and asked him to drop her off at the Wells mansion.A few minutes later, the cab brought Sylvia home. She alighted from the cab and hurried into the mansion. She began tracing her way toward her chamber while plunging the 50 cents the driver had just given her as change. When she lifted her head, she caught a glimpse of David approaching her.She suddenly felt uneasy and had to lower her head.David was engrossed in his phone and was taking fast steps toward the hallway.Sylvia wanted to walk pas
At the balcony, colorful lines and balloons were tied across slender balls. The florists used fresh flowers to surround each table. Two people were paired to a glass table and a stage was elevated facing the audience. The entire decoration spoke of class.On each table were the most expensive bottles of wine and small goblets. The waitresses were already serving cocktails while the guests took their seats.David and June took their seat in the first row.David had decided to play host that night. He made his way to the stage as June led the applause. About fifty people were occupying the tables. After the applause waned, David mounted the podium. He cleared his throat loudly and began.“It is with great honor that I welcome you all to my father’s 50th birthday party.”Cheers and applause reigned.June stepped out to get Leonard to the venue.“Age for my father is not just the fleeting nature of time. Its goals, responsibility, and success. Failure has no place in my father’s book. Tod
The thought of being at the center of every ugly drama at the Wells mansion wavered in Sylvia’s mind as the policewoman dragged her toward the small cell.“You’ll stay here till further instructions are given by the sheriff. “Said the chubby policewoman before locking the cell. She left.Sylvia who was still lost in deep thought didn’t realize the moment the women left nor did she hear the statement she made. Her eyes were out, ready to pop out of their sockets. She was still shocked at the situation she found herself in.She didn’t get a glimpse of what David saw in that footage but she knew that she was not involved in that sex tape. If she had found incriminating evidence that proved Leonard or David murdered her father then she would have made a dozen of those tapes and handed them directly to the media but right now, she was in a state of oblivion.She sniffled and shut her eyes. Her brain immediately picked a burning sensation. Her head was aching terribly and her lips were drie
Two reporters holding cameras and tape recorders were being stationed at a corner toward the end of the ER facility by David’s bodyguards while David was adjusting his sleeves in his bid to address them.June got to the scene and grabbed him by the arm. She pulled him away from the corner. “What the hell are you doing?” she demanded after they moved away from the group. David sighed. “Look, June, I have to do this.” And without giving her further details, he turned around and aimed for the scene his bodyguards had created for the small press conference.She was stunned. After June left to respond to her call a while ago, one of David’s bodyguards came running toward the ER. He told David that there were a handful of reporters outside, striving to get into the hospital but were being held down at the gate by the hospital guards.One thing David learned from his father was to never let matters get sour before tackling them so he decided to use the commotion to his advantage. He had a
Fred sat on the table adjacent to his king-size bed. He had obtained the CCTV from Walt and had been replaying a specific part for the last five minutes yet he couldn’t get a clue.He arched a brow, trying to decipher a wrong move from his computer screen but the video kept showing Sylvia leading the women to David’s bed, undressing him, and then setting a camera on the table. Fred zoom in the footage to Sylvia’s face, hoping it was someone else but it was her.He sighed and took his head into his hands. All he needed was a clue, just one clue to prove to the Wells that Sylvia was framed.Fred shook his head in filial objection, rejecting the thought that Sylvia had probably carried out that act. Somehow, he had a deep conviction that she was innocent and incapable of carrying out such an act.He went for his phone from one of the table cabinets and decided to place a call to Eleanor. Last night, he had tossed from one edge of his bed to the other, unable to fall asleep because the th
