She hailed a cab as she enter it, her phone beeped and she took it out of the coat pocket, she unlocked it seeing that August sent a text message.She smirk after reading that he is already at the restaurant they usually meet up and he typed that she shouldn't disappoint like how she has done yesterday, after visiting her sister in the hospital.Dinah typed back that she is almost there as she send it to August before putting her phone back to the coat pocket.She look out the window breathing in as the cabman made a U-turn.Minutes later, she alighted from the cab and paid the driver his requested amount before walking to enter the restaurant.As she enters, she look at the left side of the restaurants, she saw August as she walk to him."Hi" She say as she have her seat."How you doing?" August asked giving her the restaurant menu"Good, you too?" She asked back staring at the menu."Yeah. What would you like?" August question"Uh... Hamburger and ice cream." She answers dropping the menu to the table"I will take the same" August say as he press a button on the table and within some seconds a waiter came receiving their orders and went to pick them."How is your first day at work going?" August ask conversationally" Uh. Simple, not stressful yet. " Dinah answered." Hearing from Nancy? " She ask concerned and August put on a sad look" What? Is your wife okay?" Dinah questioned"I guess not. She lost her parent" August tell"What!" Dinah whisper yell. " How? What happened? When?""They were murdered. The same day you lost your parent. " He replied as Dinah look shockedThe waiter came with their orders as he serve them before walking away."She must be going through a lot." Dinah say down"Come on. You are also going through a lot," August say." Dig in"Dinah nod sighing as she pick on her hamburger."Oh, less I forget."

" Dinah answered as she eat the ice cream.---Dinah walk back to the station as she enter the elevator pressing the third floor.She breathed out a sigh as the elevator made it sound till it reach the third floor.It open and Dinah walk out of it as she walk to the officeThe office seem quite peaceful as she walk to her desk.She hung her coat on the chair and drop her bag on the table as she take her seat.She switch on her computer seeing that she has an email message.She opened it, seeing that it was from Mr. Ethan, her boss.Reading it, he informed her that he is throwing a welcome dinner party in her honor in a club and she should be there at 7.pm, he as well sent her the address.Dinah scoff after reading it,She thought he was such a strict boss, and throwing a party or whatever seems meddling to her which she doesn't appreciate.She unzipped her bag, bringing out the file August had given her as she open it.And look through it, seeing the names of five people who had visited her parent before their death.She was confused of who to suspect, since she has spent most of her life traveling around the world and has no clue of who is her parent best friends or enemy.But one thing is for sure, that they once had an enemy connection with the Sebastian's.Dinah look at the file to check whether this Sebastian has visited her parent on the day of their death and it turned out he had.She quickly went to her g****e search and typed the man name.It brought out the list of the companies run by the Sebastian and how they deal illegally without getting apprehended.She saw the numerous illegal dealing of Sebastian and his gang.Dinah became so glue to this that she started jotting some point down about the Sebastian which she already believed he might be the one who murdered her parent.She went ahead in knowing the person who posted it and found out that it was a journalist, she click on to find out who the journalist may be, before getting interrupted."Miss Dinah." Alexa called and Dinah look at her"Uhm... Aren't you going to the welcome party Mr. Ethan threw for you? " Alexa asked" Is it... " Dinah almost stutter as she look at the time realizing it was six thirty already.She sigh, "Are you going also?" She ask and Alexa nod."Okay." Dinah say as she pick up the file, putting it to her bag and the note which she has recorded all about the Sebastian as she shut down the computer."Let's go together then." Dinah say wearing her coat as she take her bag walking away with Alexa.---"The air in Brooklyn is much more better." Pascal say walking behind Jared who just enter the mansion."Which is the best though." Jared smirk"It's a long journey, go take a rest, I'll be sending someone to serve you dinner " Pascal said" Not as if I've planned any schedule. I'll be going club." Jared informed" Sir, but---"" Come on, this is a good chance to get over Veronica. Look into the great club in town, I will be touring around " he tell walking away and Pascal breathed out" Unbelievable" he mutters.Jared made a tour around the mansion and see that it was really up to his standard as he sigh a relief walking to the sitting room."Found out about any good club yet?" Jared shouted as Pascal walk to him." Yeah, it's a new one." Pascal answered"Oh, that's great. Come on, let's go party and don't be an introvert. " Jared whine and Pascal chuckle" I'm not. " Pascal protest"You are. You've never gotten laid nor club before." Jared tell"Yes, because all I do is get to follow you around." Pascal tell as he walk out of the sitting room to the compound with Jared"Wanna blame me now." Jared scoff entering the car"I'm not. Just stating out some reason." Pascal say already inside the car." Let go check out how Brooklyn is like."Dinah breathed out as she squatted and picked up the book.She opened it again and turned to the other page, she saw the written penalty which was death and she saw a sentence which was written, ' Game 2.Dinah couldn't understand all that she saw, she was so confused and she wished whatever she had seen wasn't true.Jared had once told her, right there in the library, that he doesn't hurt innocent souls.Then why is Nancy an exception?She looked so confused as she positioned the book back on the shelf.She stepped backward and sighed, allowing her blazing thoughts to run through her mind.Yeah, Jared was a prime suspect to her case and she had thought the case was about her parents death not until Jared confessed to her that he hadn't had any relations or met with her parents before and now...Dinah uses her hand to pack her hair backward as she roams around the room.The death of Nancy's parents was also the same as hers and does that mean the case was about Nancy's parents and the
Throughout the day, Jared spent the rest of the day with Dinah and she kinda found it weird, though she loved it.Him being by her side, cuddling and grabbing every chance he gets to kiss her.That night, after having dinner Jared carried Dinah to his bedroom and he helped in bathing her and they finally settled on the bed."Is everything okay?" She decided to ask, feeling the need to know what was going on with him.Jared smiled as he brought her closer to himself and he kissed her hair, remaining that way and not answering her question.He was going to see to it that Dinah doesn't get to know about what her cousin had done. He didn't want her to cry anymore, he just wanted to make her happy, forget her past, and make her have a new dream and a reason to live again."Of course all is alright." He finally answered but Dinah had the instinct not to believe him.She knew something was wrong, and she wasn't going to keep on meddling when he wasn't ready to tell her what's going on.She h
Jared walked to the kitchen, he met Dinah who was busy preparing lunch.Her black hair was packed into a bun under the chef cap she was wearing.He walked to her and caught her by the waist as she giggled."I had sent you out of the kitchen before, now here you are again." She says as she turns to the counter and puts a pot to the lightened stove."It's not easy to stay away that long." Jared pouted, his hands around her waist and head on her shoulder."You call two hours long enough for you to wait till I'm done?" She rhetorically asked turning to the other counter and he moved with her."Of course, it almost felt like eternity." Jared complained.Dinah had sent him out of the kitchen, seven minutes ago because he was disturbing her with irrelevant talks and sweet hot pecks on the neck which Dinah thought they might end up making love in the kitchen, one reason why she pursued him out of the kitchen, now he was back again.Earlier before cooking, Dinah had sent Veronica away with har
"What are you up to?" Nancy asks as August walks in the bedroom with her, following him behind."I heard you've closed the case about the search for Dinah." She adds in as August pulls off his clothes."Yeah, Dinah will be found soon. Trust me." He assured Nancy and scoffed."What do you mean soon? You let the officers stop the search about Dinah and how do you expect her to be found soon? She's your cousin, must I remind you?" Nancy rhetorically says, half yelling."Take a chill calming pill Nancy." August coaxed walking closer to her"Trust me, I already asked someone for help and I'm sure he'd help me locate Dinah's whereabouts." He informed her and she raised her brows confused."Who...?" Nancy asks, having the instinct that her husband was keeping something away from her.For the past few days, they had both been busy looking for Dinah, and Nancy could testify that August had gone into sleepless nights because of Dinah.But now? He had arrived home, looking tired and a little bit
Dinah breathed out as she slowly opened her eyes.It was morning already with the sun shining as she brought her face to look at Jared whose hands were cuddling her closer to himself.She smiled seeing his sleeping face as she used her index finger to touch his nose, feeling the smoothness of his nose. She brought the finger to his lips and this time she smiled brightly."Is that a good morning?" Jared suddenly asks as she fidget trying to roll away from his grip but he prevents that and brings her more closer to himself.Her head closer to his, and his hands around her neck, she was laying on him as he took her lips to his.Something he had always wanted every morning as their tongues glided together and kissed her, tasting every sweet corner of her mouth."Let me breathe." She called out in his mouth after several minutes of kissing and he stopped the kiss smirking watching her leave a heavy breath out of her mouth and nostrils."You're okay now?" Jared asked, not ready to free her
