As if the universe was helping me at the same time, I got a mail listing the proof of his criminal records that he made people take the fall for. I got the number of the editor whom Mr. Elvis employed to plagiarize Vera’s book and everything was falling into place.Immediately, I scheduled an interview with the innocent editor who confessed that she only did her job and didn’t know that it was someone else’s work while I took evidences from her.This time, I didn’t take it to the police straight. Instead, I brought it as a topic on urgent crises that has one of the highest viewers’ rating. Since they weren’t expecting the blow, it became a hot topic and everyone found out what Mr. Elvis was up to.I revealed every evidences from the domestic abuse video to the least document that could prove their crimes. It was found out that the husband had gotten married to several women and gotten their insurances by using different names and identities after a thorough investigation and that was

STANLEY’S POVI decided to work late that very that at the office since I had a pile of documents unattended to. I just came back from sorting the issue of the man who wanted to attack Petals days ago. I had a hunch that she would be trailed but I didn’t know that their boss would give them the go ahead so fast.Michael and Gabriel recently traveled over to Lisbon so they were there for me to handle his case. They were the ones that forced words out of his mouth and made him confess that Elvis’ twin brother sent them to kidnap her.Even though they lived all their lives at the orphanage, they moved like Mafias. They get everything they wanted and their hands on any information they needed. I met them when I went over to France to study after high school and we were very close but something was clear, they didn’t want a pure relationship. They were ready to do any job I have for them and get paid in return.“The best friendship is being partners in business” Michael would always say an

Immediately, I followed him to his office and he walked to his table to bring out a brown envelope which he handed over to me. “There is a seminar for journalists at Pennsylvania this coming weekend and an invitation has been sent to us. Would you like to go in our stead? I am asking you this as the boss and not as a friend” he said to me and I stood there for a moment I knew about the yearly seminars but I never had the grace to attend one since only one employee could represent their company. I was too stunned to speak because I wasn’t expecting such an offer from him, it had never crossed my mind. As happy as I was, I also felt hesitant. I didn’t know if I should be happy with the offer or if I truly deserved it. “I don’t know what to say. There are other people who might be more qualified than me, so I don’t know if I should receive this or not” I told him truthfully He was taken aback by my response, I guess he didn’t think about such a situation when he wanted to offer me. H

I had thought she would alight from the car to confront us but she only glared at me for a few seconds and the car moved forward. I dropped the food in my hand slowly as I lost my appetite but since I didn’t want to ruin the joyful experience for Stanley, I picked it up quickly and flashed a fake smile when he turned to me.“I didn’t do anything wrong. We are only out as friends” I told myself over and over throughout the time I was with him.That was what helped me enjoy the moment with him without putting what happened between me and his mother into consideration.“I want to try more. Recommend every delicious food and I will eat them all” he told me happily and giggled like a little child around me, making me slightly embarrassed but he was cute enough so I let it slide.We finished our food tour in a little over two hours and he took me home, watched me go in and was sure that I was safe before he left for his own house.****STANLEY’S POVI hated going home ever since I had my ow

PETALS’ POVI came back from the conference and slept throughout the weekend. Tolu got me exhausted to the core on the last day because of the tour we went on but I enjoyed them all so I couldn’t even blame her. As soon as my plane landed, I called Stanley to inform him that I was back but I would be staying indoor till Monday because I needed a proper rest and he told me to take all the time I wanted.I resumed work on Monday to find something surprising on my desk. There were series of letters and gifts from people I didn’t know their names but with the contents, they were my office coworkers.“Thank you for helping Vera rest in peace” “Vera is so lucky for having a replacement like you”“I’ll cheer you on just like I did for Vera”“I couldn’t protect Vera, thank you for protecting her even in her death” and many more.As I scanned through the letters and gifts, tears fell down my eyes. Vera had people who loved her too, she just might not know. She had people who wanted to dig out
