As she closed the tab that took care of the tenth task on the list of forty tasks her so called boss sent to her mail, Anna’s back hit her chair hard, she could not help but let out a really, really deep sigh.She had no idea what to think of Drake Blunt at that point. He definitely was trying to get on her nerves and he was really good at it. It was already past closing hour and she was still stuck with his assigned tasks which she was surprisingly not terrible at.But despite being fairly good at her job, she was barely done with half of her work and with tiredness coursing through her body, Anna decided to put off the rest till the next day and make the rest of her day slightly memorable with Alex.She already hit the shutdown option on her computer when solid footsteps came down the stairs. Her teeth gritted, her mouth made a sizzling sound showing her displeasure at the fact that he decide to come down just when she was stylishly trying to leave

Something bothered Anna as she packed her stuff and left work after Drake and Alex hurried out.And that issue kept tugging at her mind till she reached Josh's house. Being a man that lived alone, he was extremely fond of pulling down his window drapes, so she was fooled for a second, it seemed like he was not around.But his front door was open and she walked in with ease."Josh?" Anna called as her legs passed the corridor that led to the main room. As her eyes compassed the entire setup of the room, she knew she had to do something about the disastrous state of his abode. Sighing as she bent to get a shirt of his off the gray, Anna recalled vividly how Darcy would take cleaning Josh's house so personal.She hated seeing his place looking like it was bombed a hundred times. No matter how tired she was, on entering Josh's untidy place, Darcy made sure she got rid of the eyesore situation of his house.This ac

"I am honestly surprised, Drake," his father who was beaming with happiness said. "I thought you were still on your disappointing playboy path.""Oh, please," Drake laughed as it seemed like he had loosened up a bit. "With Anna by my side, I wouldn't dare to look elsewhere.""That's understandable." The hearty chuckle from his father filled the living room which had one sofa, a furnace, and a TV as the only occupants in the room.Anna kept sending murderous looks towards Drake who didn't look in any way bothered by the fact that he just told his father that she was his fiancee. He didn't even look at her at all.What was he aiming at, anyway, she thought. Did he really have a plan of his towards her? Did he find out who she was?Anna's head kept circling questions as she followed Drake and his father further into the exquisite building. The older Blunt looked back to face Anna."Anna, right?""Yes, sir." She

Anna was surprised, she wouldn't lie. She never saw Drake as a man who would find it easy to fall on his knees, but she wouldn't deny the fact that seeing him that way made her feel a little better about the entire situation.He deserved to be dried in the sun for days, his knees not leaving the scorched ground. He deserved that much.But there was something else. Anna couldn't deny that fact. He was holding back a certain truth and taking all the blame for her sister's death.As Anna's darting eyes traveled to the entrance once more, she said, "Your apology doesn't work in this situation.""But," she could hear the sadness in his voice, "I can't give you anything else right now.""I want to know who killed my sister." Anna's head shifted abruptly in his direction and his gaze fell instantly. "You can't give me that?" she asked, her brows twitching as she studied the expression on his face.His hands on his laps for

"We have footages from the neighbours and-""How did you get that?" Alex interrupted Josh and the purple-haired man wore a dagger-like look for a second. "We are still trying to persuade the neighbours on our end and-""Maybe you asked them in a really stupid way." Josh placed a foot against the table where papers upon papers were kept and he bent a little, his elbow resting on his knee. "I bet you waved money in their faces.""How dare you suggest that?" Anna's head swerved in Alex's direction, she never thought she could see him look so irritated."Well, given-""Enough, both of you," Anna sternly said and the men shifted their hard glares to some object in the room. "Alex, don't question where and how Josh and I get our information, that's none of your business. Your business is using the information we give you to your advantage. Josh, watch the words that come out of your mouth.""But-""Continue with your talk, Josh."The
