MasukCHAPTER 34Daniel I don't know what happened to Rhea but I could tell my Mom really gave her a hard time. Since she felt exhausted I took her to bed and then made my way downstairs. My mom's purse was on the sofa while she went to pour herself a drink.“What did you do to her?" I asked because curiosity wouldn't let me leave that question.“Nothing," she turned before adding, “We just had a woman-to-woman talk, son." “Mom, I know you. Rhea is—" “Indeed a good girl," she cut me off before handing me a glass of wine.“No, I'm fine. Why did you drug me?" I asked since I couldn't remember how I got home.“I don't like people disturbing my work. You seemed stubborn so I had things done the easy way," Mom looked at me.“I am your son Mom. That's just not fair what if—" “Trust me, you don't want to go there, Daniel. It's getting late and you have a meeting with the directors tomorrow. Make sure everything goes smoothly OK?" she tapped on my shoulder."Isn't that supposed to be on Friday?
CHAPTER 33Daniel “I'm not going with you he's going to take me," she pointed to a man who was smiling at her from the counter. “Rhea don't you dare," I warned. “Nice try Daniel let me see you try to stop me," Rhea responded walking towards the counter. The amount of humiliation I was feeling in that moment was just unbearable. It's like I had signed up for my worst nightmare. Going home to emptiness and dirt at every angle. “Hey handsome," Rhea smiled at the gentleman before placing her hand on his shoulder.“Hello beautiful. You seem to want to have some good time," he smiled at her before biting his lower lip.“Of course. But that man is harassing me can you handle him?" she asked the man while I just shook my head in disbelief.“Rhea that's enough we need to go," I said walking towards them before the man blocked me.“Where do you think you're going?" he asked in a deep tone. I had one too so wasn't intimidated.“Move I'm taking her with me," I responded.He laughed for a mom
CHAPTER 32 Daniel “Rhea, I'm tired of this. You can't be getting drunk every day. It's not safe for the baby or are you not pregnant?" I asked her the next morning as she walked out of the shower. “Daniel, I honestly need some silence right now. Can you give me that?" she replied not even caring to answer the question that I asked her. “Who's Marcus?" I asked, looking into her eyes, which started wandering at the mention of his name. “Marcus?" she lifted her brows probably trying to play dumbfounded. “Yes, who is he? And why do you like his touch so bad?” "Seriously now?” Rhea laughed while I wondered what was so funny. "I'm talking to you Rhea. Is there another man in your life?" I asked her. "OK, Daniel, enough of the jokes. I don't know Marcus and am not going to talk about this again. You're the only man in my life, baby, come on,” she walked closer and placed her arms around my neck. "Would a kiss do?” she asked about leaning in for one but I moved my head. “Not no
CHAPTER 31Daniel “Scarlett Brown Daniel Cross's Ex-fiancèe has been proven not guilty after she was almost sentenced for a crime her Boss, Mr. Lewis Gray, had committed," the reporter on the television screen said while my Mom just pulled out her face with disappointment."How's this possible?” Mom asked, looking at me since I didn't say a thing about what happened at the hearing.“I thought she was guilty at first Mom," I responded.“I made sure it looked like she was. These reporters are fools. How dare they add our family name to a loser like Scarlett? We've nothing to do with her. Damnit I should have put in enough resources to send her and that idiot to prison together," Mom shook her head while I wondered what involvement she had in all this.“Do you have something to do with Lewis Gray's arrest?" I asked her."That's not important son, we've to clear our family name before our partners—”"Mom, did you or didn't you have an involvement?” I cut her off since she was trying so h
CHAPTER 30"Scarlett, are you sure about the game you're trying to play?” she asked and I lifted my brows in surprise.“What game detective?" I asked.“Your boss said that you were acting strange all morning and didn't want anyone to enter your office. Do you mind telling me about that?" she asked and I just wished my ears were cheating.“He said that?" I asked again, unable to believe what I was hearing.“Yes, he did, and if you're not going to tell the truth, we might consider taking you to the torture side. And I don't want that to happen," she said.At that moment I didn't even know what to say again. Everything sounded like a lie to them. It was as if they just wanted me to admit to being behind the items that were found.I didn't even have any connections to drug lords or anything like that, so how was I even going to get all those things? I was deep in my thoughts that the sound of the door opening brought me back to reality. I looked up, and there he was, all beaten up.“Why
CHAPTER 29Scarlett I got hope from the restaurant and placed my bag on the table before rushing to get myself a cool drink from the fridge. I just can't seem to know how Daniel keeps finding the courage to come back into my business.No matter what I do he'll always seem to show up. I had gone to have lunch with Mr. Gray when Daniel just showed up unexpectedly then Rhea came too. I don't know what headlines to expect, but anything is possible when the media accesses those photos. I took a seat on the couch and switched on the television only to see AC surrounded by the cops.“What?" I whispered to myself before adding volume to the television since I couldn't hear what the reporter was saying.“AC STUDIO'S Windhoek’s most trusted fashion design empire has just been surrounded by the cops after dozens of bags packed with all kinds of illegal stuff from drugs, to nuclear weapons and poisonous substances have been found inside one of its head of department’s office Ms. Scarlett Brown
