CHAPTER 17: SHADOWS
Rebecca came rushing home the next day from work. She had gotten William’s email in reply to her questionnaires and had worked feverishly on the article the whole morning. TNN would be the first to publish an exclusive interview with the enigmatic tycoon, Mr William Silverman himself.
Her editor in chief had patted her on the back, something he seldom did and allowed her to leave earlier. She was, after all, going to cover another big story tonight. She would personally dig up the dirt on New York’s senator at the amfAR gala tonight. And boy did she have a lot to find out. The senator had been a renowned businessman wi

It was almost 6 by the time they were done. Rebecca was starving. Jean had ordered Chinese dumplings but Barbara had smacked Rebecca’s hand when she tried to reach for one. “No eating! Not until I am done!” Now, finally, after what Rebecca felt was like an eternity, Barbara was done. The french lady looked pleased as a pie, “There darling, now you are truly a belle femme! Open y

William looked at her, his eyes, dark and smouldering. He had never looked more handsome than he did right now but Rebecca found herself shaking her head. This was appalling. No way was she going to walk around in public with a vibrator.William shifted closer to Rebecca, the light from above highlighting his premature grey streaks. Gently, he cupped her face in his hand and rubbed her lips with his thumb. Rebecca could feel her heart beat faster.

The evening started with an awards presentation by Anna Wintour and Yvonne Force Villareal. William had somehow gotten seats at the same table as the senator and Rebecca wasted no time ambushing the senator with her questions. She was grateful that William did not press the button during the whole time she spoke to the senator. She doubted she would d have been able to talk at all if he did. The senator was obviously uncomfortable having to talk to Rebecca, she did not mince her words. By the time Char

It was past midnight when Rebecca finally awoke. With great difficulty, she opened her eyes. Her body was sore and her mind was still groggy, she rubbed her temples trying to recall where she was. She was covered in an extremely silky soft satin comforter but this was not her blanket, she lifted her head and looked around. This was definitely not her room either, where was she?Then she felt something between her thighs.

Rebecca woke up to the smell of coffee and opened her eyes to the warm morning sunlight streaming in from wall windows. William was sitting by a little round coffee table next to the window with his back to her, sipping his coffee and checking his phone.

It was almost eleven. The room cleaning lady had neither arrived nor answered his calls. John had sent a team member to look for her two hours ago but there was still no news.All of a sudden, Sam rushed over to where John was seated, he was out of breath, “She’s dead.”“What!?”“She’s dead, a jogger found her at the Lowline Park.”John lost all appetite f

John knelt on the grass on one knee, his eyes scanning the chalk outline of the deceased housekeeping lady. Around him, two sniffer dogs were brought around the park to collect more evidence. There had to be something the murderer had left behind. But for now, they were back to square one, with another murder case to solve. This did not look good, it did not look good at all. John’s eyebrows creased and he shook his head in frustration as his hand found its way to the back of his neck to massage it. His neck was stiff from looking down too long and a migraine was forming too. He desperately needed to rest. From the corner of his eye, he saw Sam Park was shouting out orders at their team to perform a more thorough check. He signalled for Sam to come over.“Contact her family, friends and colleagues. Zone in on anything you find fishy.”Sam nodded.“And Sam?”“Yes John?”“See if she spoke to anyone abou

The station was in chaos. Jolene Knowles had committed suicide in the women’s bathroom. But before she breathed her last, she had written three words on the tiled walls of the bathroom.“SMOKE and MIRRORS”It was cryptic, a riddle upon riddles. John had no idea what she meant, save for the fact that she had been seemingly fine about wasting away in prison for the rest of her life until she received a bouquet of white roses.The officers in charge had inspected the flowers and found nothing suspicious, the strange thing was, no one knew who sent them. Except for Jolene, but she was dead now.John stood in the women’s bathroom staring at the blood-stained wall. There had been no female officer on duty that afternoon so beardy officer Banks had waited outside while Jolene answered nature’s call. The poor guy would probably be blacklisted for the rest of his career. He had w
