CHAPTER 11: JOLENE
Rebecca swung her legs happily back and forth as she sat on the clinic bed. She’d just received a message from William, asking how she was. His message was short, but the words warmed her heart. Oh, how she yearned to see him again! She thought of replying but held back. He was probably busy, and she didn’t want to appear too readily available.Maybe I’ll call him later to see how he is, she thought, as the nurse prepared to jab her with a tetanus shot.

CHAPTER 12: JOLENE
Rebecca was back at her office, scrolling through old uploaded media reports about an attempted murder by Jolene Knowles two years ago. She had gone by a different name back then, but the mug shot couldn’t lie.Rebecca’s colleagues had been extremely resourceful in pulling up several old reports in their e-library, and it did not take long for Rebecca to find this particular piece of news. She wondered how Jolene had managed to secure a place at the prestigious Silverman Corp after having been diagnosed as mentally unstable.

CHAPTER 14: REFLECTIONS
In the darkened interrogation room, a knock came at the door, and an officer came in to hand John a new folder. It was the forensics report on Irana Long. John took his time to read through it and study the photos of a battered-looking Irana. Then, he gently spread the photos in front of Jolene Knowles.“You’ve confessed to killing Diana Walker and Suzanne Lee. It won’t make your sentence lighter by not confessing to this last crime.”

CHAPTER 16: SHADOWS
“Becca!” John exclaimed in relief when the elevator door slid open. He had been worried sick about her safety. Seeing her standing in front of him in one piece was the best thing that happened to him that day. John grabbed her hands and yanked a confused Rebecca out of the elevator. “John!” Rebecca laughed. “Shouldn’t you be at the station?”

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

CHAPTER 19: THE GAME
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.

CHAPTER 20: THE GAME
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
