LEO POV"We've seen the papers, all signed with your signature. We have even seen the history of transactions. What did you do with so much money from the company's account? What has gotten into you?" another said. I was shocked beyond words because I was as baffled as they were. "I do not understand what you all are saying," I blurted out."Show him the papers. We had to call a closed door emergency meeting so we can work on it before it gets out. This is a large company and anything can happen," another said. I stretched my arm and collected the said document from them. It had an history of transactions showing that I embezzled the company's money. It was not just any money though. A whole lot of money, running into millions."This is not me. Why would I do something like this? I never carried out any of these transactions," I said."So how do you explain this? If you must know, a huge amount like this can deal a huge blow on the Group. You need to look for that money," one of the
LEO POV"This scandal is very huge, Leo. The FBI will soon investigate the case and that is the start of a bad reputation in the public eye. We need to move fast and get that person who gave the channel those evidences," Jude said with bated breath. I could not sit still because my brain was rewinding and recollecting several events in the company. It was for a surety that the mastermind was in the company. "I won't sit around and wait anymore. I need to meet Mr. Matt. He's supposed to be an opposition and not a serious contender. I guess father's death gave him the zeal to desire my position," I said."You have to be careful in all you do. People know have eyes on you everywhere. Confronting him can make you a more guilty culprit before the board and the FBI when they're having the investigation. We need to thread carefully," Emily said."Don't worry. I've got it under control. I'll go alone so he won't see me as a threat. I'll be able to tell from his reaction if he's the culprit t
LEO POVI sped like a crazy man to the location where I had agreed to meet the strange woman. The moment I stepped out of the car, I knew she was the one standing by the street lamp with a black cloak which gave me the chills. I approached her but she turned into the street then sent me a message.PL Restaurant. Meet me at table 10"What the hell is going on? Who's this woman?!" I exclaimed then moved in the direction of the restaurant. It was packed full with people but I was glad I had my cap and glasses on. I maneuvered till I arrived at table 10. Then a woman sat on the chair opposite me all of a sudden and started browsing through her phone. Then she spoke to me without a glance at my face."I'm sorry if I scared you. I'm only protecting myself," she said."From who or what? Who are you?" I asked."I'm Eve, an attendant at the morgue where your father was kept," she replied."Why do we have to meet in secret and who are you hiding from?" I asked."Your father did not die of high
LEO POVI sensed that Emily felt uneasy with the current situation of things but I needed to clear her name more than anything else. I pulled my attention away from Kay and focused on the cameras."Hello everyone. My name is Leo Robbins, Emily Robinson husband. It's pretty recent news that my wife was involved in an identity crisis. I appreciate the support of everyone who kept believing in my family and also to my fans who were relentless in vouching for me. However, I want to make some clarification," I said then surveyed the area once more. Kay was nowhere to be found which gave me an uneasy feeling. He must have done something but what could he have done? Or he probably came around to make me uneasy. Emily's skin moved against mine for a brief moment and it got me back to the present. I had almost spaced out."The fact about my wife being Stevens or Jones was not an identity she cooked up to fool me. I came up with the idea due to personal reasons and she had to agree because I ma
LEO POVI signaled to Jude to stop the conference while I grabbed Emily's hand. It was time we left the auditorium and faced other businesses. I already got the answer to the unanswered questions that plagued my mind. Kay was involved with some of the journalists. I was positive that he was involved with the lady who sat at the back seat. Kay had made it obvious that he was the enemy and probably the mastermind of the embezzlement scandal. The reporters followed us as we moved briskly to the car which was waiting outside the building. In a few minutes we were away from the rowdy crowd."Did you notice that Kay was in the crowd?" Emily asked."I saw him," I answered."I get a really bad feeling that Kay was the person who embezzled all that money and pinned it on you. He is such a scamming bastard," she said and hit her fist on the car seat."Since father had died, he's trying to turn things in his favor. I bet he set up these online trolls to suggest that I stepped down. Step down?!
LEO POVMy mind went blank at my only chance at finding my father's murderer. The CCTV recording was my cue that would lead on to other evidences but I found nothing. The recording had been altered. "No! No! No!" I cried then stormed to the operator guy. I gave him a hard smack on his back and screamed, "wake up, man!" He stood up abruptly then bored in fear as our eyes met. "I'm very sorry," he said."That's besides the point. Get here," I ordered him and we moved to the control panel."Why are there so many altered parts of the recording and why are there no recording at certain points at all?" I asked."Altered?" he asked then began to search through the recordings. He shot a glance at my direction then cowered in fear at his realization. "The system sometimes shut itself down especially at nights but Mr. Robbins said it was just a simple malfunction. I started working here a month ago so I can't really tell much about it," the operator stuttered as he spoke. I felt like pounci
EMILY POVAfter Leo drove out of the villa, I got into a simple blouse and pencil skirt then got the driver to take me to the company. I had stopped working with any department due to the crisis the family was facing. I sent tongues wagging the moment I stepped into the building. I was overly self-conscious but I hid my fear by making it with a feigned confidence. I was there to play detective so I had to focus. If someone had to frame Leo embezzling company funds, the person must definitely have a mole in the finance department. Leo was on it and he got a private investigator to check things but I felt the process was too slow. I could easily do an insider job since I had worked in the company and was close to a few staff members. "Hey, Emily!" Jeff called from a distance. I wanted to move away as soon as I sighted him but he caught up with me. "Hi, Jeff. It's been a while," I said"I read the news and watched your press conference," he said. I could bet he was trying go make smal
EMILY POV"Nothing happened and I'm just staring like every other day," Leo replied."Really? I know you and I can tell when something is wrong. Did they get you angry?" I asked."Don't worry about my face, Emily. What was it you wanted to inform me about?" he asked. Since he was not ready to talk about it, I shrugged then pulled out the document and stretched it to him. "I met Jeff today and he gave me this," I said. He took the document and perused it then his eyes met mine."I knew that Kay was behind it," he said, confirming his suspicion."Jeff also told me that Kay has been meeting the board executives to turn them against you," I explained."How did he know all of this and why didn't he tell me. I go to that office almost everyday," he said."He said he had to be careful and he was also present at one of the meetings Kay had with an executive. Jeff is not really the most reliable person but this is a lead that points to the fact that Kay did all this," I said."Well, he's made
