Amber:One glance at Elsie's slightly disheveled hair and Alex's crooked tie and I already knew what happened. The place was filled with the tell tale signs of sex. I shot Elsie a cold hard glare and she hurriedly avoided my eyes. “What do you mean you work here now? How come I don't know about it?”I shrugged indifferently. A vein popped on his forehead, a dangerous glint in his eyes. Elsie's voice cut through the thick silence between us. “I'll let you two talk” Alex didn't stop her. His furious gaze was locked on me. She went back into the elevator.“Let's talk in my office”I rolled my eyes but followed him in. The moment I shut the door, he turned to me, eyes blazing with anger. “How did you get in? What did you do Amber?”“I have the qualifications. I got in here fair and square”I knew that wasn't true. I had gone directly to the head of HR but he was hesitant to employ me and insisted on speaking to Alex first. I knew Alex wasn't going to agree so I had no choice but to c

Alex:“What the hell, man” Cedric said the moment we heard the door of her room close. I leaned back against the couch. “What?”“I thought the girl would be dead by now. You told me yourself she tried to kill you earlier today”Thanks to my powerful genes as a hybrid, I had heightened senses and could see and hear things from a far distance. I had seen her aiming the rifle at me. I remembered the look on her face when our eyes met. But why did she stop? I had no idea. “She didn't go through with it”Cedric narrowed his eyes. Even to my own ears, It sounded like I was defending her. “What's really going on here, Alex? She lives under your fucking roof”“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. I have a plan”“Don't give me that bullshit. Be honest with me, are you in love with her?”“No”“You call her ‘princess’ for goddess' sake. If you are falling for her, it means Antonio's plan is working and we can't let him win”“I'm not having this conversation anymore”“Alex….”“Dro

Elsie: Her eyes bore deep into mine like she was staring into my soul. ‎‎”You approached him with ill intentions" she muttered, tilting her head.‎‎”What?”‎“You came to him with a hidden agenda, didn't you?”‎I was short of words. How the hell did she know that? “Spill it. What do you want from him? His money?”So she didn't know the exact reason. I exhaled a small sigh of relief. I recoiled as she approached. ‎‎"I have no idea what you're talking about"‎‎Her eyes narrowed. "Oh, I think you do. I'll find out what it is and when I do, you will regret ever getting to know me. You better watch your back" she sounded like she really was onto me. ‎It wasn't Amber's threat that scared me but the look in her eyes. I waited till Alex had left for work before heading to Alicia's house. I had no idea Alex had a twin sister. Somehow, the file Antonio had given me which apparently contained all the information I needed about Alex omitted the part where he had a crazy twin sister.

Amber:I sat at the vanity table in my hotel room, eyeing my phone, silently hoping Cedric would call and apologize for being such an ass.However, it was just wishful thinking. No calls. No text. Nothing.I grabbed my laptop and hacked into Simpsons group's system and dug out her file. Maybe I was going a little too far but I wasn't about to give up.Her profile was perfect. She had even won the employee of the year award. I looked into her personal profile, but it was annoyingly clean. No scandal. No debt. There was nothing to use against her. I slammed the laptop shut and fell into bed. Exhaustion kicked in and I feel asleep immediately. *******The next morning, I drove into Alex place and punched in the passcode, heading straight to my room which was right next to his.He had specially given me the room after it was built. Though I rarely slept there, it was still mine. I brought out the key, unlocked the door and stepped inside. The first thing I noticed was an unfamiliar

Amber:I leaned against the metal railings in the arrivals hall, tapping my foot impatiently as I scanned the crowd pouring out. Cedric's plane landed ten minutes ago, yet he had not appeared. I wiped the sweat off my palm, a little nervous. I hadn't seen or spoken to him since he left for Mexico and tonight was supposed to be the night. The night I would confess my feelings to him. I've had a crush on him for a long time and he had been too blind to see it. I was done waiting. I was going to make him see me tonight, not as his best friend's sister.The door slid open and there he was, looking effortlessly handsome in a gray sweater and dark jeans, his sleeves rolled up to reveal his strong forearm and tattoos he had gotten in college. I waved so he would see me. But my smile froze almost immediately. He wasn't alone.He was holding a woman's hand , their fingers intertwined. Her long wavy chestnut hair bounced as she walked. He saw me among the crowd and smiled. A warm, brothe

Elsie:The next few days were a nightmare. In the whole city, I couldn't find a single house to live in. No one was willing to rent to me. They made ridiculous excuses just to send me away. I knew Alex was behind this and it made me wonder just how much power he had exactly.I was exhausted and angry and was almost out of options. I had just checked into a hotel when my phone lit up with a message from Antonio with only three words.“My office. Now”I muttered a string of curses. I could already guess what it was about. I got off the elevator into Antonio's office. He was seated on his sofa, his jaw clenched. He didn't offer me a seat this time.“You called for me” I said, grasping my hands together in front of me.“It's been three weeks. I haven't received any reports on your assignment. Tell me, how's it going?”“I'm still trying to reel him in”His eyes narrowed, unsatisfied with my answer. At that moment, I was tempted to ask why he wanted Alex dead but I shut it down immediatel

"Do you take Edward Beau to be your lawfully wedded husband?" "Yes, I do" she said. She hadn't realized the priest had asked Edward first due to her nervousness.They exchanged vows and rings."You may now kiss the bride" Before the priest could finish speaking, he already captured her lips in a heated kiss. She smacked him on his arm before he finally let go. More shouts of excitement filled the air."I love you" he muttered, his forehead resting on hers. "I love you too" "Congratulations boss" Dana said, Brick was beside her. She had given up on trying to make him fall in love with her. She was going to move on and be happy."Congratulations" Brick said. He was satisfied with the fact that she was happy. That was enough for him.Edward and Lily left the party as a newly wedded couple. It was night when they arrived. They faced each other on the bed. She knew what was going to happen next, and felt shy even though they had done it several times. She was in a saying white gown wit

Lily entered the Savage mansion. She had ordered one of the servants to inform her when it was just Silvia in the house.She didn't bother to knock and barged into the room. Silvia shrieked at the intruder and let out a sigh of relief when she realized it was Lily."Don't you know how to knock?" She questioned angrily. Lily crossed her arms, and made herself comfortable on a sofa. She smiled."Need I remind you that this place officially belongs to me now. I can send you out whenever I want to, so behave" Silvia glared at her. She regretted ever hiring an incompetent assassin. "I came here for something very important. I don't want to spend a long time here. I have some questions for you"Silvia scoffed and rolled her eyes, "What makes you so sure I will answer you?" Lily ignored her and continued. "Why did you kill my mother?"Silvia laughed. "You need to get yourself checked in case you are going insane. Everybody knows your mother died of bronchiectasis" Lily sighed. "I suggest

She drove away in a sour mood. Though she had readied herself that Marie could really be Rupert's child, she was still sorely disappointed.She picked up her phone when it rang."Hello Miss Savage. Can you come back to the hospital, please? It is very urgent" It was the doctor who had done the test. She did a U-turn in the direction of the hospital. "I am so sorry, Miss Savage. I gave you the wrong paternity test results. Can you give it back, please?" Indeed, she didn't know the names there. She returned it, and he gave her the right one."I'm truly sorry" "It's alright"She opened the paper and was stunned.Probability of paternity: 0%She threw her head back and laughed in happiness. Silvia and Marie. Those worthless humans. It was over for them.************"Why have you called us here?" A shareholder asked impatiently. Rupert almost snapped, but he reminded himself he had to gain their sympathy. If only he had not lost his position, they wouldn't dare disrespect him this way.

"I am on my way to your place, Nana" she said, on the phone with Nana. Just as Edward had predicted, she felt extremely guilty and sorry when she learned her dad tried to kill her, just because she knew their secret."I missed you so.......ah!" She screamed as she felt a car bump into her from behind multiple times. She had forgotten to wear her seatbelt and hit her against the steering wheel. She became dizzy, and her head bled."Lily! Are you alright?" Nana asked worried on the end. The car didn't stop wrecking havoc on hers. It was a bit bigger and was fortified, so it had not even a single cent. The driver, who was in black sunglasses, and face cap, drove forward and peered into her car. He found her slumped against the wheel, her head was stained with blood. He then drove away.Nana ended the phone when she heard no sound coming from the other end and called Edward, explaining everything to him. He sprang up in the middle of the meeting and ran out. His hands on the wheel shook

Jayden drove crazily towards the hotel in mad rage. He stormed into the elevator, heading towards the room. The room number was included in the message. He didn't knock, and burst in. The sight that greeted him had blue veins popping in his head. Marie was on her knees naked, giving a stinking old man a blow job."Marie!" He bellowed. She scrambled up when she realized he was there. "Jay..... Jayden? What.....you…." She had no idea what to say. It was sudden. "You have been cheating on me" he narrowed his eyes dangerously. She shook her head."No. I…. I did it for you and your company. If it was failing and…. and he offered to help""Helping me by fucking another man?" Suddenly, out of nowhere, a slap landed on her face. She screamed and she saw stars. She fell immediately."So you are the one. You are the bitch sleeping with my husband!" She screeched. Marie looked up. Towering over her was an ugly fat woman, with thick makeup. She wore expensive jewelry. She didn't need anyone t

"Success!" She texted her husband the moment she entered the elevator. He replied almost immediately."Hm. Congratulations. Meet me at the entrance" She raised a brow. That fast?She saw him as soon as she reached outside."I am so honored to have esteemed president Savage in my car" she chuckled. "It was all because of your lawyer. He did really well. Rupert could not win against him" she fastened her seatbelt, and noticed his face had become silky."What is it now?" "Stop praising another man other than me" he said sourly."Alright. Alright. I will keep that in mind from now on. All of this happened, thanks to you. Mr husband is the best!" she sealed it with a kiss, and pulled back when he was going to deepen it. "Are you happy now?" He nodded with a smile."What are you going to do now?" "I will take full care of my mum's company and destroy those imbeciles..... for good. Before I can do that, I need evidence. Solid evidence that Rupert killed my mum. I won't let him get away"
