Zade's POV “Do you really think a few hundred dollars is worth me getting angry over?” I added, lowering my voice and injecting a bit of sterness into it for effect. Elaine's eyes widened slightly, “I… Well…” She stammered, she wrung her hands together as her eyes flitted here and there, she even looked at Ray for help but he blatantly ignored her. She looked like a deer that was caught in the headlight. I couldn't hold back the laugh any longer, it burst out of me with such intensity that I had to double over and hold my stomach. The look on her face was priceless and her confusion was so palpable that I could almost reach out to touch it. “Why… Why are you laughing?” She asked, suspicious, “Don't tell me that you're so angry that you're planning something? I don't like that laugh of yours Zade, it's creepy.” “Angry?” I managed to say amidst my laughter and I wiped a tear that had strayed at the corner of my eyes, “Why would I be angry? In fact, I'm quite amused. I don't get

Elaine's POV “Hello Mrs Wolfe, I hope you haven't been waiting for too long.” I said mildly as I walked towards her, taking a seat in front of her, at the same table. Although I had suggested we meet in this place, it was actually the first time that I had been here and I had to admit, the whole place had a very good ambiance and the smell of the pastries here… It smelled like I was in heaven, resisting the urge to take a very deep breath was very hard as the entire place was very tempting. “No, Miss, I only just got here as well. Allow me to thank you for accepting to meet up with me, even though I think you know the main reason why I wanted to meet you. It's about the jewel, the Crimson Midnight Star, I want you to sell it to me. In exchange, I would give you whatever you want in addition to whatever amount you want me to buy the gem for. I hope you consider this proposal.” Erica Wolfe said, she really went straight to the point. I guess when they said that she hated beating aroun

Elaine's POVRay had wide eyes, as if he was trying to make sense of Zade's actions, he looked betrayed. “Are you Elaine?” Zade questioned over his shoulder and a chuckle escaped my lips at that. I stepped behind Zade, placing my hand on his back. He tensed beneath my touch but he didn't move away, I carefully touched the angry red burn mark that had begun to blister. “It's nothing? You should run some ointment on it, it'll begin to peel and hurt even more.” I advised, my eyes still on the burn mark. “It’s just a burn Elaine, it's nothing I can't handle.” Zade murmured, his voice was uncharacteristically soft. I bit my lips, gazing upward to look fully at his back, and that was when I noticed it, the long gash that he had on his back. It went across his shoulder blades to the end of his waist. I blinked twice, my vision began to blur. My fingers ghosted over the scar, memories coming back. Zade had gotten this scar when we were still dating. I remembered it very vividly, it was

Elaine's POV “Miss Elaine, Mrs Erica is asking for you. She's waiting for you at the reception.” One of the employees came to my office to inform me. I nodded and waved for her to leave, standing up myself and going after her. It's been one month and two weeks since Erica signed the deal with Zade's company, and since I became a full fledged employee who received a hefty sum of money. Throughout the days that passed, new things came up. The extra one hundred million dollars that I had from Erica's gem was transferred to my account, I was so shocked when it happened. I wanted to return it because of how huge it was and because I was scared. I had never handled that amount of money before not to talk of it belonging to me, but Zade didn't agree. He said that since I worked for it, I should have it. However, he scolded me and said that I should have sold the gem for more than what I sold it for and to be honest, I really was tempted to do that but I didn't want to come off as being too

Elaine's POV “Who is he?!” Zade asked, his voice was as cold as ice. Neither of us expected that someone else would be behind the both of them, not at all. I never got that information while I was investigating, this was going towards another direction. “I… I don't know who he is. What I know is that he contacted me through someone else, and after giving me this order, he never contacted me again and only said I should do so after the company has been able to sell the product successfully. I've never seen the real Jackal before.” Andrew explained while Louis was still crying on the ground, trembling. “He must have known that you'd be caught…” I said slowly, “That's why he never messaged you again. He was toying with Zade's trying to tell him that this was something he could clearly do under his nose. Zade, the person could be in this company, in this very room, smiling at what is going on here.” I finished, looking at each and every one of the board members. None of them were smil
