"I deserved to be avenged. My actions weren't venial, but I promised to improve and wouldn't reiterate the past."The past events weren't buried below the ground. All the bad vibes were still kept and never shirked. The past had molded Daphne's current life. She couldn't question Tatiana's apology, for it was genuine, came from heart, and not only told for the sake of public image. It might have sounded like someone forced her to do such, but the important thing was that Daphne finally had it, which meant she could have peace. Tatiana was erased from the list as her enemy.Though she had to concede how her heart shattered into pieces and she carried the world on her shoulder, knowing Tatiana made up a story to destroy her stature and end the bond between Maverick and her. And yes, it didn't just make her cry but also feel how her life collapsed.Before Daphne responded, she chewed the pork in her mouth; seeing her plate already had no dish, she reminded Maverick that she was full to h
Looking back at the past gave Nathan a warm smile despite how unfortunate it would be to be hit by a car. Blood went out of his body, and it made him oblivious. Nonetheless, he already knew that he would never be overthrown. If he was in their eyes, then for him, he was not. However, it was somewhat called vengeance for integrity and to stop their disastrous actions.With a sigh, he hung his leg on the side of the bed while Elliot went silent on the chair, slowly mesmerizing the champion's throne."Did somebody know about our plan, or were they blinded and thought we didn't do such?" asked Nathan and glanced at the window."For sure, they didn't. We discreetly moved, and maybe they reckoned we feared combating them," replied Elliot.Nathan nodded. Looking back, it gave him a smirk.'I successfully gave it to her. She would surely bring it into the office and towards their mansion. Since there was a tiny chip inside, it could capture recordings and use everything we got to fight them,'
"The evidence was safe in my hands. Shall we take it over to the police officer we were coordinating with?" asked Elliot when he stopped and saw Nathan standing on his side near the car.With a simple nod, Nathan conceded to submit it as they all amassed robust proof to substantiate Casper’s misdeed. He wasn't sure how numerous lives were lost in his hands, but it was out of his league. Instantly, Elliot unlocked the back seat door for him while he entered the driver's seat door. Before he had started the car engine, he gazed at the rearview mirror and met Nathan's eyes."After discussion with the police officer, I had to discern and converse with the driver who hit me," said Nathan, whirling his gaze to the side and sighing."Did you plan on assassinating him?" Out of novelty, Elliot asked. "Well, you knew it was bad—""No, it didn't get into my psyche. He wasn't the real foe either. He was reimbursed according to Casper's decree, not his discretion to hurt me," responded Nathan and
"What would be your surprise, huh? It brought a broad smile to your face, which was quite mysterious."It was a paradox for Daphne; early that morning, the sun was already above the sky, dancing with the clouds. She saw a smile plastered on Maverick's lips that she could not see from others. Marching out of the room, she followed Maverick towards the living room, while Maverick only shrugged his shoulders, wanting her to guess what it could be. In Daphne's mind, it would be a normal surprise, like he gave her money or other valuable things as a sign of his great fondness.'Let me see what it could be. I already had guts but couldn't tell, hmm…' Daphne thought.As soon as Daphne moved onto the stairs, she placed her hands to the side while she felt her heart jump in apprehension, heeding a customary voice in the living room. At first, Daphne thought it was a nonentity, not until she whirled her gaze at the sofa and met Linda's eyes that glanced at her. She blinked a few times and thoug
"Accept the call or proceed on proposing to Daphne…."It was hard to choose, but Maverick accepted the call instead. Last time, he knew Deanna was problematic and faced skirmishes, and he couldn't let it set aside. He already had an idea why Deanna was calling him. It was either Casper or Deanna who was caught already. That's what doom would provoke for their malfeasances."Was there any problem, Maverick? Could you tell me?" asked Daphne, seeing Maverick's smile fade on his lips."Wait a minute. Let me ratify the call. It was essential," replied Maverick. "Stay chill there.""Alright, fine. I will stay here only."Maverick moved away from the table and made sure their discussion wouldn't be that audible to Daphne. As soon as he could assure it, he swiped the screen and placed the cell phone near his ear, expecting a worse situation, she could tell."I would go there in your mansion. Expect I will arrive anytime soon," said Deanna on the other line. "I wouldn't want you to say no to t
“His rest house travels for fifteen minutes only from here. Hope you could catch him there ....”With all the information Daphne huddled, she rushed towards the rest house, following Tatiana’s advice. She speculated Tatiana wouldn’t give her erroneous information as they were fine, no negativities in between them already. She rode a taxi there, and fortunately, there was no heavy traffic. The road was empty, and only a few cars were running on the street, heading south, away from the polluted city. On her way there, only trees were seen on the side, some were houses with old designs, and others were mansions, believed to be the rest house of another billionaire.It already bestowed Daphne's quivers, and she bothered about what she could see there. There were only two. First, Maverick had another woman who had sex with her as she dismissed him, while the second was that he had another engagement with another businessman. However, it was impossible, not unless it was urgent to be tackle
“I recalled that damn woman flying near the gutter as my car ran over her….”A familiar woman Nathan saw in his side mirror would never be forgotten. Yes, he felt worried, even when he recalled it. Until now, he didn’t know that woman’s name if he had met her before or had not. The run-over incident brought him fear.‘Shit.’He had reason to be told and announced if it would be brought as another issue. It was from the past, but enemies were found digging it to destroy his name for personal interest, maybe because they wanted to own a company.Sitting on a smooth swivel chair on the top floor of the Kelly Building branch, he turned it, facing the door as his secretary entered. Elliot had a confused face when he went near Nathan. Elliot turned his gaze around and saw it was just the two inside the office, then looked back at him.“What was it, Mr. Kelly?” asked Elliot. He was worried it would be another problem. “Was it about Deanna?”“Nah,” responded Nathan and exhaled. “It was about
A clear blue indigo sky slightly turned yellow-orange on the east side. The sun slowly rose, matched with busy streets, and people rushed to work and other destinations. At the same time, Nathan only relaxed on the balcony and sat on the chair while there was an empty cup of coffee on the table. Seeing an incredible masterpiece and scenery somewhat calmed his morning and made him smile to prepare for a long day and another problem he might encounter."What a beautiful sky. I hoped it was beautiful as my day," muttered Nathan. "But I knew it would not be."In his silence, Nathan heard the car’s horn and a shout of a fellow citizen. Minutes after that, a vibration of his cell phone in his pocket made him blink twice, then look at who was calling him. A police officer he had coordinated was calling him, which gave him an idea it was good or worse, unwelcome news regarding Deanna's whereabouts."Hey, officer, how are you doing?" Nathan's opening spiel."Stressed, but still fine," retorted
