Chapter 40: The Closeup
"One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane."
-Nikola Tesla-
***
Ian came to visit Victoria that evening, once again, unannounced. He was sure she should be back from work by that hour. He carried a bouquet of flower in his hand and rang the doorbell.
Like an old story, Darius was the one who opened the door. He wanted to groan when he saw this man. Ian really couldn’t leave her alone. He was especially upset since Ian had made the move and tried to propose to her.
“It’s not a good timing. Victoria isn’t in her best state right now. I suggest you leave.” This time, Darius’ response was different. It wasn’t derived from a state of envy or jealousy. He also wasn’t acting defensive at all. It looked like this time there was a different reason and Ian quickly picked up on it.
“What’s wrong? Is she fine?” He asked.

I thought it was just a game to you.” Lucas demanded an explanation. What exactly was Ian thinking? He definitely lost his mind for this woman but he wanted a justification for it.“I know, this is all just so unreasonable and I have strayed way too far from my initial path. But for some strange reason, when I see Victoria, I feel helpless. It’s dangerous. I lost control of myself. But it’s only for her. She is the one who can make me become so irrational like this. Surprisingly, it’s not an unpleasant feeling.” A small smile escaped his lips.Lucas knew he had lost his boss. Well, not physically, but the Ian before him a love struck foo

It’s an anonymous document so we wanted to toss it away, but we’re afraid it’s important.” Charles looked at the black folder, wondering who could have sent something like that.As someone who had an indefinite amount of power and resource, he often received threats from his enemies. So he wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out to be one of those threats.He opened the folder and saw something even worse than death threats. It was the picture of both his children doing forbidden acts with each other. Charles was so shocked and disgusted by the sight he felt nauseous on his stomach.“Mr. Dawn, are you okay?

She thought he was never coming back.So it was quite a surprise to see him there. She didn’t even know how he managed to pass the house security but considering everything that had happened between them in the past, it shouldn’t be so strange to see him going back and forth to her house.“I have come to bring good news. Before I tell it, do you mind inviting me in?” He asked. She sighed, unsure if it was a good idea considering Darius was preparing breakfast for them. He might get upset again if he saw Ian inside the house.“It’s about your brother’s murderer

Ian’s expression changed from serious into a bright smile.“Thank you, I will send you the promised reward later. Keep an eye on your bank account.” He said before hanging up on the phone.“Who was it?” Victoria asked out of curiosity.“I have a great news for you. Catherine is dead.” Victoria couldn’t believe what she just heard. How was it possible?“Did you kill her?” She asked.“No, the one who killed her was Cedric. The man shot Catherine with his own two hands.” The revelation sounded bizarre and almost surreal for her.“I thought Cedric loves her?

Then, I will do my best to please you.” He stated as he removed his suit and shirt, revealing his naked body that resembled a Greek God.Truly, it was quite a sight to behold. Darius had a few scars from the years but beside that, he was almost immaculate.It was like a dream come true. He got on his knees and started kissing the tip of her feet.
