"Yeah, I do remember her coming in. Her name was, I think, Veronica. I got her name because she's a regular customer. Just like you said, when she came in to buy groceries, something happened. She met a man in here who seemed to have a wild look around her, he followed her out few seconds after he left, not even paying or taking the can of sweet corn he came for." Anna explains.Hearing her words, Ashton now had a serious look on his face as he asked, "What man?" His suspicions are probably about to be confirmed."I don't really know. I didn't see his face clearly, but based on what I saw, it looked like the two were having an argument... no, it looked like the man was harassing Veronica while they were shopping but she came to pay and left first." Anna responded as she remembers the incident clearly from earlier."What the hell? Harassing?" Ashton blurted out in disbelief."Before I could approach them about the commotion, it seemed to stop and she came to pay and then, Veronica left

Sitting on a cold, metal in the dimly lit hallway were Damien and Ashton, and the duo seemed to be having a deep conversation. "If the phone was traced to Arielle's apartment, then doesn't that mean Arielle is holding Tiara hostage?" Damien questioned with a look of disbelief."That's what we all thought, but when we searched the house, we found nothing. Not even a single trace of Tiara nor the phone we tracked," Ashton explained."Strange," Damien commented while rubbing his chin in contemplation."I know, right... It surely is strange," Ashton remarked with his voice raised slightly. "I could tell Arielle was hiding something, but I had no proof," he added."And you are sure you searched everywhere? You didn't accidentally avoid a certain area?" Damien inquired."I searched every goddamn corner, opened doors, even below the staircase. There was no one there. It's either the tracker must have malfunctioned, or Arielle managed to take Tiara away from the house before we arrived. I mea

Early in the morning of the same day, sitting on the sofa is Richard with no shirt on and his back was leaned backwards on the sofa with a glass of scotch in his hand as his head was filled with different thoughts. There were several empty bottles on the table infront of him as well meaning he has been drinking for quite a while now even though the day is still very young."That damn bastard!" Richard retorted in anger and a sluggish tone like a drunkard as he lifted himself off the chair and began to stagger back and forth in the living room with boiling anger, flinging the bottle in his hand against the wall, smashing it into a thousand bits.Any time he remembers the face of Ashton, his rage intensifies."Why didn't she just forgive me for cheating? Why did she choose to marry that bastard instead!" Richard voiced, slamming the glass on the floor and caused it to smash to pieces and the content inside the bottle had spilled all over the floor.Ever since Richard cheated on Ivy, h

Ashton steps into the very crowded building and weaves his way around the crowd. It's still afternoon but the place is already crowded with good for nothings who do not have better things to do with their times.Ashton doesn't know Roger and has never seen him physically but he is well aware of what he would look like if he sees him because of that psychopath smile of his after hitting a woman and then driving away. He stands on a spot and looks around, fending away the hand of ladies away from his body.In a corner, he sees a set of young men all drinking and laughing. The one right in the middle with the exact same hairstyle as in that CCTV, Ashton smirks and wears the facemask in his hands.After the widespread corona virus, there is nothing against face masks and no one finds it weird so when there is a man in a club, wearing a suit and long coat and uses a nose mask, no one stops to stares except the ladies who find his eyes beautiful, because that's the only thing they can see.

"Do you think it's up to you to do whatever you choose to do?" The same voice from the first visit to the dark room asks Richard who's struggles his to knees. "Who is this?""I don't think I need any introduction, at this point, we're practically besties."Richard is blinded so of course, he can't see anything but has to only rely on his sense of hearing which is very heightened at the moment. "What do you want from me again?""If you remember our last meeting, which I am very certain you do, I told you that when next we meet, you won't be leaving the same way you have come, didn't I?"Richard unconsciously shifts backwards on his knees. "What? What did I do wrong?""Oh, so many things. First, why did you go to the Wang party? What were you going there to do? To float about helping Ray with his corruption? To see what's happening? To see how much you affected the family by kidnapping his daughter?"With every reason he states, Richard flinches, more and more and when he mentions Rich
