“Another one?” King raised his brows as one of the men in charge removed another bugging device and then gave it to him.He swallowed hard and watched, it was the third one they were removing in the rooms aside from the first one they had gotten.“King,” he turned to look at Dariel who entered the room and then moved away from his spot.“Did you find anything?” He asked.Dariel nodded his head, moved over to King’s table, carried the laptop, and then returned to it.King watched as Dariel inserted the flash drive into the laptop and then waited till the video played.His brows furrowed as he watched the woman who looked around before she plastered the wall with the bugs and his eyes met with Dariel’s.“Is she not the cleaner?” Dariel asked as he stared at the screen again.King tilted his head unsurely and looked also. He had noticed the woman multiple times as she was always going around with buckets, mops, or whatever. Ah… she was the cleaner.“I think she is!” he snapped his finger

When it was time for dinner, Payton did not get out of her room and only lay in her bed till it was very late in the night.Tiana was worried about her but Payton did not say anything and only said that she was tired and nothing more.Earlier, a bit after King had his dinner, he had sent Tiana and then asked her why Payton did not have dinner.Tiana told him she did not know why either and later, King called his investigator to look into what Payton did after she left his company in the afternoon.…Payton rolled on her back and then sat up lazily.“Are you okay?” Tiana moved over to her.“Did I worry you? I’m sorry,” she said and stared at the wall clock.“It is past nine, you should have retired to your quarter,” Payton said as she stooped up.“No, not when you are like this,” Tiana shook her head.“Or did the boss offend you?” “King?” Payton furrowed her brows and stood up.“That man will be the last person to put me in this mood,” she burst into laughter.“Then…”Payton smacked h

“I did not ask you to drink, Payton,” King hissed and moved away from her.“It has been very tough and depressing living here with you. You can only imagine why I drank myself to sleep,” she said, and he drew his brows together.It was tough and depressing so she drank herself to sleep?How was that his business?“Are you blaming me for what happened yesterday?”Payton tilted her brows in confusion and he continued.“I know you met your ex boyfriend.”Payton twitched her mouth and frowned. How did he know about that?She was sure she had not told anyone that so how did he know?Was he stalking her?He definitely was having her followed. Maybe.“You are having me followed?” She asked him and he chuckled mockingly.“You don’t even worth that.”“Then how did you know I was at my father’s house yesterday?”“Why were you there?” He asked her instead.“The last time I checked, it was my father’s house. I do not need to be questioned about the reason I was there.”“What did you discuss with

“Who made her do it? I don’t understand,” King shook his head as he stared intensely at the screen.“I don’t know, but all I’m sure of is that a woman gave her the order. Fuck, I should have checked properly!” Dariel punched his fist on the table.“How did you get it? I thought you had checked it before?”“Remember what happened with the cleaner? So, I thought of digging further. I returned to the hotel to check the CCTV and I saw this,” he collected the phone, swiped it then showed him.It was a video of the woman in a corridor before she entered the VIP quarter adding something to the drink.“Hell, I told you I could not have gotten drunk on that drink! No way!” King banged the table and walked over to Dariel.“And she is dead too?”“The same way the cleaner died. Stabbed to death and the knife was found away from her corpse. I think they are leaving the knife on purpose.”“Why?”“Probably to let us know that they are around or something. I mean, most murderers always leave with thei

“Is this you stylishly admitting that you could kill a person?”King ignored the anger that clouded her face and he asked her.Payton swallowed the lump in her throat and curled her fist into a tight ball.She could take any name. She could accept any names he had called her… but, not a murderer.She was already palpitating and her hands were starting to shake, instead, she hurriedly hid them behind her.The last thing she wanted was to let this man find out her weakness.“Y… you…” she breathed heavily.“I mean, I was only asking a question and all you could say was that. You said you could kill me. Does that not mean that if you had the chance, you would kill me?” He asked as he stared at her intensely.“S… stop talking like that,” she exhaled.“Like how? Am I making sense? Do you hate that I am telling the truth?”“I did not kill anyone and I never will!” She screeched and then panted laboriously.King squinted his brows as he stared at the woman whose breathing was starting to get
