A series of past murders catch the attention of the police and the media. All the people who were killed were women, all of which had some sort of relationship with a well known and successful businessman named Asriel Parker. For some reason, the murders all point to him as the number one suspect and connection between them. The reasonable thing to do is to put him behind bars but there is one problem. "Everyone is innocent in the eyes of the law until proven guilty." There isn't a shred of evidence that actually pinpoints Asriel Parker as the culprit. With that statement in mind, Selena March, a good police officer and detective is sent undercover as his live-in Personal Assistant to dig up whatever information she can use to put the murderer behind bars. Selena has no idea what she signs up for but she knows for a fact that falling in love is not part of the whole 'undercover' mission
View MoreThe howling wind did nothing to calm her nervousness. Veronica was so exited to see Asriel Parker again but her excitement came with extreme nervousness. She stopped looking at her reflection in the mirror to stare at the little picture of Asriel Parker that she had taped to the corner of her mirror from a magazine.
He was in a grey t-shirt and had his hands in the pockets of his black jeans. He was talking to someone on his left but Veronica had cropped the other parts of the picture and couldn't remember who the other person was. His grey eyes were always intense and he had a habit of running his hands through his hair. His handsome face only added to the fame he already had as a businessman and a major share holder in some other companies. His fraternal twin brother was just as successful and his younger sister just as him, but those other two didn't get Veronica's heart racing when they glanced at her or smiled at her.
Veronica frowned when she realised that for the past three months that she had been dating Asriel, he did not smile genuinely. His smiles were either forced, sarcastic, threatening or the nasty-give-you-chills smile. Still, she loved him. And she wanted nothing more than to be the one to make him smile brightly. At first, she was scared to date him because of what happened to his other girlfriends but she eventually let it slide and got in a relationship with him.
She got up and walked to her closet. Right before she could open it, she heard a loud crash from downstairs in her living room. She froze, fear blanketing her body. She knew for a fact that she was alone in the house. She stupidly took an empty bottle of deodorant and started walking downstairs.
"Hello?" She called out to no one in particular. "Come out and show yourself!" She shouted Her only response was eerie silence. Her lights were all turned on and she took it as a sign that she was in no imminent danger despite her gut telling her to run and call for help.
She heard the sound pots moving in the kitchen and she frowned. Could it be a rat? Of all days in the year, the stupid rat chose to visit on the day that Asriel was coming over for dinner.
"Stupid creatures, no respect for us at all." She grumbled as she stomped to the kitchen. "My boyfriend is coming over in the next four hours and then you decide to dance in my pots? No thank you."
Without looking around, she walked strait to the counter where she kept her pots. She saw no rat."Hmmm, that little vermin is in hiding isn't_" she stopped her sentence when a white film gas suddenly started coming out from one of the closed pots on the counter. She gasped, her body impulsively searching for more oxygen. It was suddenly hard to breathe as the gas had filled the entire kitchen. She coughed and covered her mouth.
She turned to run to the front door. Locked! She was puzzled but she thought better than to let it stop her. She tried all her doors but she was locked in her house. Even her windows were sealed shut. The alarming rate at which the gas was spreading was doing nothing to sooth her. Her stomach dropped when she realised what was happening and whose doing the whole strange situation was.
The Parker girl killer.
The killer was in her house. She looked around, searching for his or her figure. She had to call Asriel for help. With her body weakening due to the limited amount of oxygen in her foggy house, she went back to her bedroom for her cell phone. She was crawling by the time she reached her bedroom and opened it. She was feeling dizzy and her body was too weak. She lost all hope when she spotted her phone on the floor, smashed. She dropped, losing all energy to move and her body running out of oxygen.
The last thing she saw was a pair of black leather boots waltzing into her bedroom as if the wearer owned the entire universe. She rolled over in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the intruder. The person was tall, and that was all information her mind could collect before she finally passed out.
The killer smiled in satisfaction, she had finally passed out. The killer was smart enough to put on a mask unlike Veronica who had ran passed it in her feeble attempt to escape the trap. It was time to get to work.
Two hours later, the killer stood up and admired the handy work. A grin on the killer's face just showed just how much satisfying the gruesome scene was.
"Take that Asriel fucking Parker."

The hotel where the gala was being held was surrounded by a lot paparazzi photographers and media vans. Selena found herself clinging onto Asaiah’s arm as he led her towards them. She could feel her nervousness increasing ever so slightly with every step.“Just a heads up for you.” Asaiah whispered to her. “I have never attended any event with a partner before so these people are definitely going to follow you around now and then.”“What?” Selena said surprised. “Just for being your partner?”Asaiah chuckled and nodded. Selena sighed when she remembered that the Parkers were famous people. Living with them and seeing them a lot just made it slip her mind. What also slipped her mind was the fact that Asaiah was not the type to stick to one woman and he probably chose not to go with part
Selena hadn’t the slightest idea when she had fallen asleep. She did not even remember getting into a car with Asriel or how she ended up on her bed.However, she did remember that she had followed Asriel to Lanes Street and had somehow been noticed along the way.She also remembered a name that she knew might be connected to Asriel.Larry Smithson.Whoever this Larry was, Selena knew for a fact that he was going to be a major clue.She sat up on her bed and reached straight for her phone in her bag. She smiled when she saw all her missed calls and messages from Darral. She dialled his number and he answered immediately.“And where the hell did you disappear to? Weren’t you supposed to text me your coordinates? How dare you get back to me this late! You probably had so much fun that you just decided
Selena was thankful that Asriel had not given much thought to how and why she had gotten to work so early in the morning. She ran to the car park and got into the passenger seat of a car and strapped herself in. “Follow that car.” She said to Darral who just to happened to be the driver. “I missed you too Selena.” Darral said with a fake frown. Selena put on her seatbelt and threw a sharp glare at him. Just who id he think he was to start messing around when they had an important task to do? Darral smiled teasingly as he started the engine immediately pulled out of the parking lot and got on the road. Staying four to three cars behind Asriel’s car, they followed him until he stopped in front of Plato’s restaurant. “Could he be stopping for a meal this early?” Darral asked. &n
Asriel stretched his arms and back as he walked down the stairs of the house to the living-room. Because of Emmanuel’s therapy sessions, he had missed three days worth of appointments, paperwork and reviews. Knowing Asaiah, he probably took the fact that Ariel was not breathing on his neck as a chance to slack off. He knew he had too much work to do.Deciding against having breakfast at home, he walked out of the house. Because it was quite early, Asriel chose not to wake up Zach from his well deserved rest. Selena on the other hand did not deserve any rest after getting him kidnapped from his own room.As he walked to his car, he pulled out his phone and dialled Selena’s line. To his surprise, she picked up on the first ring.“Hello and good morning sir.” She said cheerily. She even sounded wid
"Will that be all?" The waiter asked Selena and Gina as he finished writing down what Gina had just ordered. "Yes, that will be all. Thank you." Gina said smiling while Selena just nodded. The waiter bowed his head. "Very well then." He turned to leave but stopped and stared at the flowers in the vases that were on each side of the door as if he had seen something displeasing. Gina and Selena watched him in confusion as he muttered to himself angrily and started rearranging the flowers. It only took him two minutes to finish his task after which he smiled like he had just won the lottery and left quickly. The flower arrangement did not even look any different from the way it was initially. Gina rolled her eyes. "What a perfectionist. The flowers do not even look different."
Selena looked around Emmanuel Scofield's living room in awe. It's main decor was flower vases and paintings. There was a large portrait of Emmanuel's family. His wife and three daughters had bright smiles on their faces. Emmanuel was holding a sleeping baby boy and was smiling too."Mr Scofield's house is beautiful, right Zach?" Selena said to Zach who was seated on the couch in the same room. When he did not respond, Selena grinned at him."Zach, do not be such a cry baby. I only beat you once and yet you are acting like I am the worst person alive."Zach glared at her. "You promised to not speak of that to anyone.""And you promised to be a new friend of mine." Selena said with a pout and her arms crossed. "So friend, isn't Emmanuel's house lovely?"Zach sighed and looked away. He was stil
