"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. He has to address the issue at hand."You're wel

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

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

"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

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
