As if the universe was helping me at the same time, I got a mail listing the proof of his criminal records that he made people take the fall for. I got the number of the editor whom Mr. Elvis employed to plagiarize Vera’s book and everything was falling into place.Immediately, I scheduled an interview with the innocent editor who confessed that she only did her job and didn’t know that it was someone else’s work while I took evidences from her.This time, I didn’t take it to the police straight. Instead, I brought it as a topic on urgent crises that has one of the highest viewers’ rating. Since they weren’t expecting the blow, it became a hot topic and everyone found out what Mr. Elvis was up to.I revealed every evidences from the domestic abuse video to the least document that could prove their crimes. It was found out that the husband had gotten married to several women and gotten their insurances by using different names and identities after a thorough investigation and that was
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 53. LET'S CALL IT QUIT
By the time I opened my eyes, I was being held down by Stanley who was trying his best not to make me fall off the sofa as I fought for my life. I was sweating profusely and breathing heavily with each seconds.“Petals! Are you okay? What’s happening? Why are you behaving this way?” he called out desperately as he held me closer to himselfEven though my eyes were opened, I was still trapped in my dream. I kept on crying for help as I cried furiously. I was far gone in the trauma that I was almost lifeless.“Petals!” I heard him call aloud one more time and I was woken up with full force.Breathing with all my strength and gasping for air, I managed to open my mouth but no sound came out. I wanted to ask him what was wrong and why I was that way but I couldn’t say a thing.“Are you okay? Should we go to the hospital?” he asked, helping me to sit up properlySince I couldn’t talk, I waved my finger to give him a no signal before folding my wrist to tell him I needed a cup of water.As
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 54. ILL FATE
STANLEY’S POVI decided to work late that very that at the office since I had a pile of documents unattended to. I just came back from sorting the issue of the man who wanted to attack Petals days ago. I had a hunch that she would be trailed but I didn’t know that their boss would give them the go ahead so fast.Michael and Gabriel recently traveled over to Lisbon so they were there for me to handle his case. They were the ones that forced words out of his mouth and made him confess that Elvis’ twin brother sent them to kidnap her.Even though they lived all their lives at the orphanage, they moved like Mafias. They get everything they wanted and their hands on any information they needed. I met them when I went over to France to study after high school and we were very close but something was clear, they didn’t want a pure relationship. They were ready to do any job I have for them and get paid in return.“The best friendship is being partners in business” Michael would always say an
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 55. A COSTLY TRUTH
PETALS’S POVI was uncomfortable avoiding Stanley after suddenly telling him that I couldn’t do it anymore because I felt extremely bad for saying that to someone who almost lost his life. The state I met him was terrifying, he was literally on the verge of death and fighting hard for his life which made me so afraid.Several thoughts ran through my mind as I watched and helped him up to save him.“What if someday I get a bit late? What if someday no one is there to help him? What if he dies off just like that? How am I supposed to take the news of his death if I stay close to him or even date him?” those questions raced through my mind in the span of minutes and I couldn’t even think them through before my mouth spoke that I couldn’t handle such a disaster.My mouth spoke faster than my brain and I got myself in a mess that made me avoid him at all cost, he sent several texts and gave me numerous calls but I just couldn’t reply them or pick up the call due to the guilt I was feeling.
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 56. DEBT
Immediately, I followed him to his office and he walked to his table to bring out a brown envelope which he handed over to me. “There is a seminar for journalists at Pennsylvania this coming weekend and an invitation has been sent to us. Would you like to go in our stead? I am asking you this as the boss and not as a friend” he said to me and I stood there for a moment I knew about the yearly seminars but I never had the grace to attend one since only one employee could represent their company. I was too stunned to speak because I wasn’t expecting such an offer from him, it had never crossed my mind. As happy as I was, I also felt hesitant. I didn’t know if I should be happy with the offer or if I truly deserved it. “I don’t know what to say. There are other people who might be more qualified than me, so I don’t know if I should receive this or not” I told him truthfully He was taken aback by my response, I guess he didn’t think about such a situation when he wanted to offer me. H
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 57. DISCOVERY
PETAL’S POV Since I confirmed that I would be attending the conference at Pennsylvania, I was given two days break to prepare myself since they were necessary items required for the trip. After packing everything I needed, I decided to visit Vera’s grave before going to play with Pureza at the orphanage. On getting to her gravesite, I saw that it was untidy and overgrown with weed. It wasn’t like the others that were kept neat so I had to ask one of the workers there why it was so. “We only repair and keep the gravesite of those that paid their required money clean” she answered and a soft “ah” left my mouth “So how much do I pay and where do I pay to?” I asked and I was directed to the appropriate quarters. Immediately I paid, they cleared everything that was there and the place was sparkling clean in minutes. “I am very sorry for coming late. There is nothing I could have done since I didn’t know what happened. I had always felt bad for taking your position but that pushed me t
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 58. SCALING THROUGH
I had thought she would alight from the car to confront us but she only glared at me for a few seconds and the car moved forward. I dropped the food in my hand slowly as I lost my appetite but since I didn’t want to ruin the joyful experience for Stanley, I picked it up quickly and flashed a fake smile when he turned to me.“I didn’t do anything wrong. We are only out as friends” I told myself over and over throughout the time I was with him.That was what helped me enjoy the moment with him without putting what happened between me and his mother into consideration.“I want to try more. Recommend every delicious food and I will eat them all” he told me happily and giggled like a little child around me, making me slightly embarrassed but he was cute enough so I let it slide.We finished our food tour in a little over two hours and he took me home, watched me go in and was sure that I was safe before he left for his own house.****STANLEY’S POVI hated going home ever since I had my ow
THE PRESIDENT'S FAVORITE JOURNALIST 59. CRUEL FATES
Tolu and I left the dinner early since I was afraid to taste anything at the venue due to the trauma of someone lacing my food or drink with something else. We went to the hotel’s restaurant itself and had another meal which I ate in peace since it was sure no one would do anything to that one.“Do you want me to show you around Pennsylvania? I grew up here” she suggested and I agreed immediately since I didn’t have anything doing.Seeing her order for a cab, I countered her and claimed that it would be too expensive but she only chuckled. Pulling out her black card, she remarked “Even if the cab takes me through the whole of this country, this card will not feel the money deducted from it” My jaw dropped. I didn’t know the amount in the account but for her to make such a statement then she would be filthily rich.“I see… I understand” those words dragged out of my mouth and she smiled at my expression“I got adopted into a rich family and they take care of me like their own child.
