“You are kidding me?” Penny shouted from the other side of the phone. “This can’t be true. Veronica didn’t do that.”
“Well, my dear friend, it is the truth!” I exclaimed.
“So Veronica threw herself on your fiancée. And you did nothing?” she dramatically sighed. “You should have at least slapped her. She deserved one.”
Penny was someone I could trust with my secrets with my close eyes. She had been with me from high school, and we had a long history before becoming friends.
Our relationship started as enemies. She was my bully with her girl group, and I was her victim. For the first time, she attacked me in the cafeteria; I didn’t really understand her motive. We both were two different people of two different worlds. How I did something wrong with her or how my behavior provoked her to do something with me was out of my indulgence.

Sometimes later, we three were standing in the living room of my house, in the McCoy mansion. I didn’t summon up a single thing that happened between the restaurant and our way here. I recalled the happiness that I saw in Nathan’s eyes, tears that fell from Amanda’s eyes, which were the witness to her pure joy. I remember hugs, warm words in my ears, blessings, laughter, excitement, but I had no idea what came out from whom.How did they express their exhilaration at this news? How? And why?I was in a daze after coming out of the bathroom. I wanted to tell the truth. I swore I wanted to clear this fucking misunderstanding so badly, but before I could open my mouth, the joy spread like a virus from Amanda to all over the restaurant. Not only Nathan and Amanda, but all the people who were present in that small place were clapping, taking pictures, and congratulating us.The power of social media, which was faster than news

My new secretary, Jessica, was the prime example of clumsiness. We had hired her to work for me exactly three days ago, and she already made the mess, not only in my office but in the entire Hall corporation.The first day she was here to do her job, she was nervous. Understood, this was her first job after graduating from college, so I got to work on her nerves, but I failed to comprehend how this woman’s brain worked.Day-1.She didn’t need to do much, as I would be out of the office for most of the meetings with Japanese clients.

I picked up Lyra from the café just a block away from my office; she looked better. In her jeans and a red loose shirt with open hair and a little makeup, she looked as fresh as the morning dew.Her spirit was high too, which was a plus point for me. Yesterday had been hard for her, and the last thing I wanted today was tears in her eyes. She defended less and fragile both emotionally and mentally, which I understood, something must have triggered her. And I wasn’t sure if Hall was the reason for that or was just defense.I saw her the entire time, from the restaurant to the time she fell asleep on the bed at home.And trust me, there was a change in her manners even before we set our feet on the McCoy mansion. When she came out of the bathroom, she looked as if she came out of a haze. The puffiness of her red eyes was a clear sign she was crying. The way she saw me after I hugged her was as if she was lost in the deep blue oc

Veronica Gomez was here, in my workplace, sitting on the corner of the first-floor hall with a crossed leg and hands folded over her chest. Today she was dressed differently. All the other times I met her in the Hall residence, she was always in comfortable clothes. Jeans, shirts, shorts, tops, dresses, things that gave her a cute look. The girl next door was in her fashion, but it was a little different.Her glossy open blond hair, Chanel dress with a fur coat over it, diamond pendent in the neck, Jimmy Choo high heel, and Dior bag screamed wealth from every corner of her body. The makeup on her face was well-done. Sure, some professionals did their magic on her altogether.She felt like two different people. Somehow, at present, she looked like those rich spoiled kids who knew nothing but spending their parent’s hard work lying on the bed. The stubborn one who disrespects everyone in the room and places themselves above anyone.I l

We entered our apartment kissing passionately, Nathan worked on the lock with the keys at the same time his tongue was inside my mouth. There was a tug of fight going on in between our kisses as we both were eager to have the authorities of these kisses of this night.It took him a few seconds extra than to unlock the door, but I didn’t mind, my senses were concentrating on only one thing at that time, the kisses. It consumed all my sanity at that moment, and his lips and touch were the only thing in this world I wanted so badly.He needed to stop the kiss to open the door, and those two seconds felt like pure torment to my soul. I was getting on the edginess without his hands on me, these seconds felt like years to me. Even the sounds of keys annoyed me with their jiggle, the sound rang in my ear as a mock or laugh.I took the keys from his hand and inserted them in the lock, and with one swift turn, the door was wide open, and smil

I walked into the warehouse after lunch; it was 1 o’clock. The entire day I was restless, sitting in my office without any work, playing with my phone, scrolling email, checking files that I did yesterday bored me to hell yesterday. I needed to get out of the office as soon as I got in the building, but I needed to show my face there. So, I spent a little time there.When I entered the abandoned place, Luka was here all night with our superior guest, whom I visited last night for a decent amount of time. I might have slapped or punched him during my stopover, but that was necessary.Luka got his hand on this man yesterday morning when he was at home alone. Luka hit the head with a glass vase from behind. After he fell on the ground, Luka carried him to the van that is used for our club errand running. Matero was in the car waiting for both of them, and then they transferred him to this lavish penthouse of mine.Yeah, he was a guest,

I expected a hurricane the moment I set my foot in my apartment. The entire drive from the warehouse to my home took me exactly twenty-seven minutes. I thought about all the things I could say to Lyra. I wasn’t sure whether revealing the truth to her was a good option or not. My mind was going through that matter a lot since last night.I held Harvey in my hand; I needed to break his reliance to bring out the truth. How long could he stay in that dark and foul-smelling place? Not long. I needed to bring him down, and I believe we would do soon it, but telling Lyra could be an inconvenience.I still wasn’t sure about Brian’s innocence. Till now I have found nothing that would save him from my suspicion. If he wasn’t involved with all this, then that was a piece of glorious news. No would-be happier than me as he was Lyra’s older brother, even if she broke ties with them, I know deep inside her heart she still loved and respected them. I wou

The screen of my phone went dark after ringing, this was the sixteen number call that I got from Nathan in the past three hours.

This was movie number three, and I decided to see at least two more before the night ended.
