LOGIN“What if I choose not to?” I asked. “You don't want your little secret to get out, do you.” he raised a brow. “No, I don't.” I said, dropping my head. “Good.” he said, and snapped his fingers. A young man walked up to our table with a briefcase in his grip. Conrad received the briefcase from him, and placed it on the table. He unlocked and turned it to me. In the briefcase were wads of cash. “I believe this is good for a start.” he said. “Also, I'll help you get rid of that scar on your face. So what do you say? Do we have a deal or not?” ********************* One minute, Lauren was preparing to leave home for her friend's birthday party. And the next? She is a murderer. Faced with the chance of spending the rest of her life behind bars, she's approached by Conrad Anderson — son of the man whom she murdered. He offers her a deal: help him get some information from the CEO of Beamers Industries — Thomas Roy, by becoming his secretary and he would keep her secret safe with a promise to help her get rid of the scar on her face. But when she realizes that she's nothing but a pawn in Conrad's game of revenge, would she terminate the deal, and suffer for her sins, or would she help him get the information which he needs to ruin Thomas's life completely?
View MoreChapter 07.A LIFE CHANGING OFFER.Lauren's POV.I turned to the door for a moment as if Camille, Agnes, and Anita were all standing outside, waiting for me to join them. But then, I knew that they were long gone, perhaps expecting that I should follow behind, which was actually the best thing to do because I had to clear the misunderstanding that was brewing between Agnes and I. If anything, I thought we were good. However, I was wrong. In the meantime, I sighed, and turned to face Mr Griffith. I couldn't tell exactly why he wanted me to wait behind. But it had to be something important. I guess he didn't want any of them to know about it.“Is there a problem, sir?” I asked, holding my hands in front of me.“No, not really.” he said, with a smile as if sensing the worry in my voice. “I just wanted to speak to you about an opportunity.” “An opportunity?” I reiterated, narrowing my gaze at the words. “If I may ask, what opportunity might that be, sir?” “Although, it's been over two
Chapter 06.IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK.Lauren's POV.I dragged my steps as I walked behind Camille like a criminal who's been brought before the court. I walked past the tables which had a few retort stands, conical flasks, pipettes and burettes on them. It seemed to me like a practical had just been concluded, or perhaps was just about to begin. But there she was, Agnes, looking out through the window with her back turned to me.“She is here.” Camille said, like some maid sent to fetch me. I wasn't surprised with the kind of attitude Agnes was pulling off. I mean, she's always had that, uhm, what's the word again? I can't recall. However, she just wants to feel like she's on top of the world, dishing out orders like some employer, and always wants things to go her way. Last time someone brought it up, who was it again? Oh, right! Camille. Last time she brought it up, Agnes erupted like a volcano. We all knew how it ended.However, on this, I knew that I was at fault, because I'd giv
Chapter 05.READY OR NOT?Lauren's POV.I dropped my gaze to the wads of cash in the briefcase. No doubt the money, whatever amount it was, would help me in so many ways. That's an understatement. It would completely change my life. However, thinking about it, it didn't seem right to me. I mean, I killed his father last night, and today he's offering me this amount to do a job for him? “Can I take some time to think about this?” I asked, lifting my gaze to him. “I would really appreciate it if you can give me a few days to think about this.” “Do you think this is some kind of joke?” he asked, his brows gathered in as he leaned forward. “I don't have much time on my hands, and you want me to give you some time to think about it?” He scoffed.“Are you kidding right now?” “No, I just,” I sighed. “I have never seen such amount of money before. So, it just feels…” “Weird?” he raised a brow. “Well, I thought as much too. But there's nothing to be scared about. I just need you to do as
Chapter 04.A DEAL OR NOT?Lauren's POV.“You seem surprised.” Conrad said, walking towards me. “Why are you surprised?” Surprised? Was that some kind of joke or what? Surprised was an understatement. What in the world was he doing in my school? How did he even find me to begin with? Besides, who exactly was he that Mrs Stephen had to fetch me herself? As he took another step towards me, I moved a step back.“You have nothing to be scared of.” he smiled, and pulled out a chair that was tucked in the table. “Your secret is safe with me.”He settled on the chair, and scuffed it forward.“You don't want to keep standing.” he turned to me. “Come have a seat.” He gestured with a hand. I held onto the strap of my tote bag and walked towards the chair on the other side of the table. “I don't understand, why are you here?” I asked, settling on the chair. “How did you find me?” “Have you forgotten so soon?” he asked, raising a brow. “It is not over yet; it's only the beginning.”He remin
