James words kept on living rent free in his head tormenting him in ways he never knew.Arthur angrily halted the car, got out and slammed the door hard.His breathing became heavy. "I can protect my own people, not just her." He yelled into the empty space.James had just questioned his ability to protect Bella but he couldn't answer because he feared she could be another Amanda he would fail to protect."Fuck it." He cursed under his breath.He brought out his phone from his breast pocket and dialed a number. "I want the interview done today." He ended it without waiting for any reply.***Bella carefully selected her outfit, opting for a casual top and hoodie over her head that concealed most of her features. Not forgetting her sunshade to shield her eyes from curious glares.

"Here are the list of questions you'll be asked during the live session." Edward passed a sheet of paper to Arthur. "Is there anything you would love to omit from the list?"Arthur glanced through the sheet and was satisfied with the questions. "It's fine, I can see the journalist is someone who is professional and goes straight to the point, my kind of person. The interview should be smooth." he increased his pace."Arthur?" Edward called out with a worried look on his face. "Yes Edward.""I have a bad feeling about this. Are you really sure you want to do this? Any little mistake would be emphasized on by the preying press.""Asking as a friend or bodyguard?""A friend." Edward gave a smile."Then I'll ask you to have some faith in me. We are in the middle of the storm, there is nothing to fear.""Good luck.""Sounds more like you." Arthur tapped him on the shoulder.Smartly dressed, Arthur walked into the studio for the live session.

Amelia walked back to the studio and gave Arthur a quick smile."We are going live in less than a minute, I assume you're ready?" She asked with so much sly excitement."I'm fully ready for the next session but just a word of advice, you'd brace yourself as well." Arthur replied with a heavy sarcasm."Brace myself? What do you mean by that?" Her voice became crispy.Knowing he had gotten her curious, he decided to strike while the iron was still very hot. "I have some questions bothering me, I hope you don't mind me asking to make me some clarifications?" "And what questions would you have for me?" Amelia felt somewhat uneasy but managed to fix her gaze on him. Ain't no way she was going to let him know he was getting to her."You will have to wait to find out." Arthur matched her gazed and held on."This is my show, and there is only one interviewer who happens to be me. Besides we are here to talk about you, not me."

James, are you sure about this?" Bella asked, concern etched across her face as she glanced at James.James took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the mirror in front of him. "Yeah, I am," he replied, his voice steady, although there was a hint of hesitation. "Should've done this before now. It's better to take it off once and for all than watch it fall off on its own, you know?"Bella nodded with tears dripping her face, understanding his apprehension. She knew this change won't be easy for James as he had always loved his long hair.James had requested for a barber to take down his hair completely when she had pointed out his falling hair earlier. "I get it, James. It's just a haircut, but I know it means more to you."James managed a weak smile, "Yeah, it's more than just hair," he admitted. "It's like shedding a part of my past and embracing what is to come.""You don't have to worry, I'll be by your side." She vowed.Just then, the barber by the name Greg who had called in for a

Bella walked to the entrance door and tried opening it but found it locked. "Hello Bella." Ms Jenkins called from behind her."Thank goodness, you're here. I need to step out for a moment but the door is locked." She said regaining her breath."I'm sorry I don't think you would be able to do that.""Why? It's not even late." "Arthur just gave a directive that no one can leave or enter without his permission." Ms Jenkins explained. "You should talk to him if you want to leave.""Are you kidding me?" She swallowed hard, her throat suddenly went dry."I have no reason to.""I have to leave now, the agreed curfew have not started. Why is he doing this to me?" She jerked the knob of the door violently."You're hurting yourself bella and this could in turn hurt everyone in the Lorenzo's mansion.""What do you mean?""Any bruise on your body would get me fired and if you succeed on your quest leaving, everyone in the Lorenzo's mansion get fired. Think about them and their families.""What

Patricia yanked Lawrence hand off her body as she watched him snored away. A new wave of anger swept across her body.Right after, she had allowed Lawrence made love to her, she served him a drink she had secretly drugged."How did I end up with such a loser?" Her face contorted with disgust. "I have to do something fast." She got down from the bed placing Lawrence's hand on the pillow before dragging out a small section of the bed and unveiling a burner phone.She typed, "Let's meet up tonight, the chronicles. 10pm." She deleted the message and turned it off, returning it back to it's position."I should've known when he took her side at the party, how dare she covet what is mine?" She ran her hands through her hair vigorously. "I've sacrificed way too much to get defeated this way. I won't let her win, never." she stumped her feet on the ground.She got dressed up in black, a perfect colour that matched the night. She took out a blonde hair from her wigs and not forgetting her face

Lawrence stretched his body as he lazily opened his eyes."Good morning my love." He greeted while placing his hand round her waist."It's almost noon my heart." Patricia replied with a kiss on his lips."What?" Lawrence immediately sat up just by looking at the time. it was 11:32am."How long have I been sleeping?" He wondered."Enough for a century to go by." Patricia replied smiling broadly."Can't remember the last time I slept for so long." He mused, pulling her closer to himself, "what's your deal, huh?""Consider it my charm." She placed her finger on his lips, seductively."I can't agree less," He complimented her. "Only you could pull off such a feat with your prowess.""I'll take that as a compliment."Lawrence, pulling her close and kissing her forehead. "Only you intoxicates me." He tried to lose her robe."Come on," she yanked off his hands playfully, "I have to dress up to go see bella.""Ah, that true. I'll be meeting with Edward as well. Hell no, I'm late."Edward's nam

"Boss." Edward walked into Arthur's office with an increased pace."What is the issue?" Arthur asked, not raising his head from his laptop."Amelia made her move last night. She met with someone with blonde hair yesterday." He reported."She could be meeting with a friend." Arthur suggested, still engrossed in his work."A friend wouldn't use the back door."This time, Edward got his full attention. "Now that is suspicious." Arthur acknowledged, "Did you see this stranger's face?" He asked while clasping his hands together."Unfortunately no, it was too dark to see what she looks like."Do you think this person have an affiliation with Fargo?""For now, nothing have been proven but of course the possibility can't be ruled out.""How is Fargo doing these days?""He seems to be keeping a low profile." Edward answered.Just then, Edward's phone vibrated."You can go ahead."Edward took out his phone from his pocket, his expression turning grim. "Boss, you need to see this.""She seems to

James kept thinking and smiling at himself after Patricia's departure. He wished she had stayed longer and was looking forward to seeing her again."Not only did she capture my heart, she's also willing to help me. She is too good to be true, how can she be single? He sat up.He couldn't sleep, he couldn't toss himself side by side either. "Is this what it feels like to fall in love with someone? Little wonder, Bella won't listen to me."Looking at the machines and the intravenous saline passed into his body, his smile vanished, his illness broke him. He had dragged Bella down with him, he wasn't going to do that her."When all of these is final over, I'm going to make my intentions known to her." his smile returned again, "Wait for me, Patricia."***"Hey my man," Lawrence extended his hand to Arthur for an handshake. "Congratulations once again.""Thank you for showing up." Arthur shook his hand."You look pale. Everything is good right?""Hey," Arthur dismissing Lawrence's observati

Patricia emerged from the shower just as Lawrence walked into the bedroom."My love, I miss you." He drew her close and kissed her lips."How was it?" She asked placing her hands round his shoulders."I handed the list of attendees to Arthur, you?""Don't even get me started. I was tasked with speaking to his adamant bride to be?""Arthur told me they had a mild misunderstanding.""Well, in my own opinion. I think it's more than mild.""What exactly is going on? Arthur said Bella wasn't on the same page with him regarding the engagement.""Because she is in love with him." Patricia spilled."Then that is odd, shouldn't that make her agree hastily to his proposal?" Lawrence asked surprised."What do you know about women? When a woman falls for a man. Not only does she aims for his body, she also aims for his heart. And who is Arthur Lorenzo?" She asked touching his nose, "He is the biggest playboy out there. He is willing to offer her his body but not his heart. What's a body without a
