As Anna responded to the blaring alarm from her phone that was reminding her that it was time to prepare for work, the grumpy woman instantly realized that had been a while since she saw her room looking fine. She was deep into the whole sadness thing even her room suffered a huge mess till she decided to arrange things the previous night. As she walked to the drawer to turn off the sound that was already irritating her, the side of her eye caught an object that she had not paid attention to for a while. Her sister’s phone. Leaning against the drawer, and taking a sigh, Anna’s mind traveled to the time Josh informed her of the hidden details of her sister’s death and she could not stop staring at the cracked screen of the device. She was still going to maintain her stance and keep the discovery of the phone from Josh but Anna knew she had to do something about the phone. With the hope that the phone would still be responsive and pinless, Anna grabbed her phone’s charger and connec

“Alright, this is where we stop our meeting for today. Let’s not forget to submit the quarterly reports, we need it to fast-track our next project,” the head of the meeting said and before others could respond, a screeching sound filled the room and someone ran as fast as can out of the room. With a deep frown on his face, Drake wondered what the deal was with Anna. Right after she acted all weird and grabbed his bottle of water to drink, she had been acting uncomfortable and at certain intervals, she made groaning sounds which almost made him consider throwing her out. But she had been taking notes so seriously, he chose to let her be. “Isn’t that lady your new secretary?” The manager director who was rumoured to be quite cosy with all the secretaries he had ever had, moved closer and asked nosily. With a fake smile on his face, Drake faced the man fully and said, “You should focus on the numerous workloads you have, Mr. Clark. My secretary is none of your business.” “Oh well.” T

Alex made his way towards Anna who was now assuming a standing position whose her eyes never left Drake who was still keeping a stern look on the iPad in his hold. "Anna, are you okay now?" Her head slightly turned in Alex's direction as she wondered what the new look on Drake's face was. Instead of looking angry or perhaps frustrated, he looked rather... sad. It would have made sense since the news being circulated wasn't a good one. But this sadness... it had a different air to it and it bothered Anna a bit. But that was a fickle moment. As a warm hand landed on her forehead, she snapped out of her thoughts and shared a look with Alex who asked, "Are you feeling okay?" She nodded and swallowed hard when she realized how dry her throat was. As her eyes scanned the room for a bottle of water or anything that bears clean, drinkable, preferably sedative-free water, Drake walked towards his seat, he seemed totally oblivious to everything else. "You should go home," Alex said furth

The both of them were now settled on the chairs around the island, their faces displaying the painful thoughts flying in their minds.Anna stared hard at the night scenery outside the kitchen window and her father kept his gaze on the marbled top.A sigh escaped Anna whose brain could not help but recall the part where her father confirmed the situation around her sister's death."I don't get one thing," she broke the silence and her father raised his head. "Why did this cop decide to let us know the truth now? Why didn't he do that a year ago when we were all searching for the truth? "" H-he recently lost his child. Perhaps he understands how much it hurts to lose one's child, he couldn't hold himself back when he met your mother by chance."" So, what is going to happen now? Who do we meet with this new information which we cannot prove? " Anna's shoulders danced at intervals as she asked her question."What do you mean?" Her father reached for her hands which were idle at that mome

As her alarm blared, Anna woke up to a strange feeling against her cheeks. Rising from her strange position, it occurred to her that she had slept off while chewing on her loveable junk meal from the previous night. Her eyes heavy with sleep, Anna was about to contemplate resuming her slumber despite the mess on her bed, but she was reminded of the message she received from the man she was planning to drag down. The message had to mean two things. He either loves sending random messages instead of being direct with his attempt to check up on her or he has actually found out who she is. Darcy Hendrick's sister. The sister to the girl who was murdered in his company a year ago. The girl who everyone thinks committed suicide. Anna could not begin to imagine how things would be in the office that day if the message had the latter meaning. But that didn't mean she wasn't going to go to the office. He made it a must anyway. Grudgingly, she got off her bed, got rid of the crumbs on the

As Drake Blunt lifted his head, he immediately wished he hadn't changed his position. As an instant response, his hands gripped the sides of his chair, his eyes blinked with fright as he read through the bold letters on his screen. 'DRAKE BLUNT: THE SON THAT MURDERED HIS MOTHER.' His calmness was thrown out of the window, and Drake got up as he began to find it hard to breathe all of a sudden. The topic about his mother was one he didn't like to revisit. But clearly, someone was using that topic against him and it was being used knowingly. Images flashed through his head as his eyes strained further at the screen and he was taken back ten years when his mother died in a way he didn't wish to remember at all. "Okay," he said through his thick breathing. "Drake calm down. It wasn't your fault. You are not at fault," he admonished himself as he took receding steps towards the chair he just got up from. "It was never your fault," he said again, this time, his voice was a whisper. Bu

Perplexity still running through her entire veins, Anna tried to push the man's lips away but somehow, he misread her and within a quick second, his hand was gripping the back of her head, not so hard, but firm enough to ensure he got to have a proper feel of her lips. Her hands on his chest as she tried to budge out of his surprisingly unyielding hold, Anna found herself undergoing a torturous tour in her head. Her sister's image came into her mind the moment his lips began to explore hers and as the kiss continued, she kept seeing a particular scene play over and over again. A scene where her sister couldn't stop gushing about a man she liked. Someone from her workplace. Without igniting it, hatred fueled her and she became more determined to break away from the kiss which was now turning intense even though it was one person doing the entire work. When her pushes did nothing, Anna resorted to an option that made the man yelp. Sucking on his lower lip which she had instantly bit

It was hard for her. It was hard to pretend she didn't see the message on her sister's phone. The image was already glued in her mind, there was no escape. Thus, thoughts kept flying in. They flew in before she slept the previous night. And after waking up from a barely satisfactory sleep, the thoughts continued. She was presently in the elevator, on the way to her office and the unusual addition to the elevator ride didn't sway her. All she knew was that she could hear a particular tune playing around her thoughts which were still trying to analyze her discovery. If she were to think based on what was in the text, her sister, Darcy, died trying to protect Drake Blunt. Anna scoffed. It was quite ironic. She died trying to protect the man but the man failed to protect her image. He found it so easy to tag her as a suicidal individual. At that instant, her anger towards the man increased tenfold. But her curiosity increased too. The quest for revenge has revealed and confirmed s

“What are you doing here?” Drake asked with certain disgust in his voice as he had his seat far away from the last person he wished to see at that very moment. Amelia wore a bigger smirk and she defied his attempt by walking even closer, her hands making sure to lean on the desk so that she was exposing part of her breasts in the man’s direction. Drake almost scoffed loudly. She really must think he was still into her. “I would have never guessed I would walk in on Drake Blunt making out with an employee. Whatever happened to your principles?” “What on earth are you doing here Amelia? The last time I checked, you broke up with me and I made sure to tell you never to meet me again.” Amelia clicked her tongue. “Are you still upset about that? I-” “If you have nothing to do in particular, please leave, I am a busy man.” “Do you like her?” Amelia ignored his words. “I hope you don’t. It will be quite sad if you decide to date someone less prettier than me.” Drake sighed hard. “Did

Just when Anna wondered what to do with the gruesome liquid in her hold, the elevator made its usual pinging sound and with a slight tilt of her head, Alex came into view, eyes filled with happiness. But all that delight disappeared when he saw what Anna held in her hands. “What is that?” he asked cautiously. “Blood,” she responded without filtering her words. “It arrived some seconds ago.” “Who sent it? The Bikers gang?” Anna wore a small frown. How on earth was she supposed to know that? But she gave him a response regardless. “Someone who wants to kill Drake Blunt. They left a note.” Alex hastened his steps so he was closer to Anna. After snatching the note, he read the contents out. “You can’t escape death D.” Then, like he was reminiscing about old memories, Alex’s eyes hit the ceiling, confusion written all over his face. Watching him carefully, Anna crossed her arms and asked, “Who do you think it is from?” “One of the company’s enemy, that’s the only answer I can give y
