《Anita鈥檚 Voice: Behind the Headlines》


 All the way

    Chapter 1: All the way


    ¡°The angels shall be your guide as you embark on this wonderful journey darling. Nothing you seek will be difficult to get. Go well, you¡¯re not alone my dear.¡± Grandma Walls blessed Anita as she apanied her with the other family members to the car park.


    ¡°Thanks Grandma!¡±


    ¡°Sister I can wait to see you on the TV¡±


    ¡°Hope you won¡¯t forget to report about me!¡±


    They teased Anita as they went.


    Almost was moved to tears upon the idea that she would be leaving her family after so many years of living together.


    ¡°I will surely make you all proud of me!¡± she said, trying to dry of some tears.


    ¡°We are sure sister!¡±


    ¡°Here it is!¡±


    A car that they had booked stopped at their front, waiting on Anita to enter.


    Kissing them goodbye, she entered the car and it zoomed off. She was leaving Houston for good, she was sure.


    After what seemed like forever, they left the park seeing as the car was no longer in sight.


    Anita felt bad at first but when she got to some point, she felt grateful to be able to make this move.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    As the car passed by, she enjoyed the view of the city.


    She was heading to her dream city to pursue her dream career.


    From a distance in the car, she could already spot the glitz and morous New York City.


    Smiling, this was the beginning of her life¡¯s journey. She wasn¡¯t going to joke with it for even a bit.


    New York City is thergest and most influential American metropolis, the most populous and the most international city in the country, going there was the best decision she could make for herself.


    California


    Andre sat on his chair in his study room, as he listened to a voice tape his assistant had just brought in.


    ¡°What do you expect? What makes you think I¡¯m doing this for love? Hell no! I¡¯m only getting in to get some cash. Once my mission is aplished, I¡¯m out!¡±


    He then smiled, he was not surprised. This was typical of the girls in this city.


    cing his left hand on his jaw, he went into a deep thought. He needed a way out. He needed a wife to go into another level. He needed to get the inheritance but with a genuine person.


    A thought then came into his mind. Picking up his phone, he dialed his assistant¡¯s phone number.


    ¡°Come see me now!¡± He said, hanging up the phone.


    Picking up the ss of wine on his table, he made his way to the balcony.


    Andre stood at the centre of the luxurious balcony, ced one hand into his pocket while he sipped his wine, having a beautiful view of the mesmerizing scenery.


    He thought about what he had in mind, wondering if it would work out cool. He could not back off, once his mind ept something, it means it¡¯s worth doing.


    He had got to give it a try.


    Not too long after, his assistant made his way into the building. Cass went straight up the stairs to his study room and pushed the door open.


    On seeing that his master wasn¡¯t in, he decided to check the balcony.


    On reaching there, he smiled as he bowed.


    ¡°Master Andre!¡±


    ¡°You took long!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Master!¡±


    Turning to face his assistant, ¡°follow me!¡± he said, going back into the study room.


    Andre sat down and drafted a few things down on a paper. After that, he passed it to Cass.


    Cass took the paper immediately and went through it.


    When he read what was written on the paper, he froze.


    Looking up at his master, ¡°Master!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s what I have to do. There¡¯s no other choice.¡±


    Get everything needed ready. Let me know when you¡¯re set.


    ¡°Yes Master!¡± Cass said and stood up to leave. He to had no other option. He didn¡¯t me his boss.


    The only thing he could do for him was to support his decisions, nothing less.


    In a few hourster, everything was set.


    Andre appeared out of his room, looking like a cheap staff. The clothes were simple regr clothes that anyone could buy, making him look so normal. The footwear was just a not so good slippers. His hair looked a bit tattered.


    ¡°Master, can we really do this? If the rest should see this, I won¡¯t be spared.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean Cass. Are you now doubting my decisions?¡±


    ¡°Never Master!¡±


    ¡°Then keep shut and let me do my mind.¡±


    ¡°Yes Master! Master, the car you asked me to prepare is ready.¡±


    ¡°We are good then.¡±


    Like that, Andre transformed into an ordinary man.


    Cass got changed as well as they entered the simple car and left the mansion. Without informing anyone, they made their way to New York City.


    If this is what it will take for me to have peace of mind, I¡¯m willing to. I hope this works out. Andre said to himself as he watched the scenic view.


    New York City


    Anita had already gotten to New York City, as she lodged in a simple apartment.


    Thank goodness for her friend Kate. If it wasn¡¯t for her, she probably wouldn¡¯t have been there.


    Kate and Anita had been best friends from childhood. Due to Kate had lost her parents, she had to leave Houston to start a new life in New York, living with her boyfriend.


    If she had not reconnected with her over the phone, her dreams of moving to New York City would have only remained a dream, nothing more.


    ¡°Girlie, you look so beautiful. Wow!¡± Kate gushed over Anita.


    ¡°Don¡¯t tease me. You look amazing, I should be gushing over you.¡± Anita replied smiling.


    ¡°Hahaha! So, this is the apartment I helped you find. Simple yet ssy and affordable.¡± Kate said as she started showing the ce to Anita.


    ¡°Thanks a lot girl! I have no idea what I would have done without you.¡± Anita said, looking at her so gratefully.

 Sass Media House

    Chapter 2: Sass Media House


    Stopping, she moved towards Anita and held her hands tenderly. ¡°You really don¡¯t have to feel that way Anita. This is destiny. Okay?¡± she said.


    She didn¡¯t feel like she actually did something so great for her friend Anita. Yes, she was there to put her through, but what about the things that Anita had done for her.


    Back at Houston.


    Kate had just lost her parents and was in a state of grief. At that time, no one was there for her. She had no one. The rest of her family members didn¡¯t care, so she was all alone.


    Despite the fact that Anita didn¡¯t have much control of anything, she did all she could to make Kate morefortable. Anita had brought her into her own home where she stayed till she moved to New York City, even though her family was against it.


    Kate¡¯s joy knew no bounds the day she reconnected with Anita. She could not believe it at first. Years had passed by already.


    ¡°Thank you Kate! At least for this support.¡±


    Changing the conversation, ¡°This is the room, this is the kitchen. I remember it¡¯s your favorite ce haha! Here¡¯s the sitting room, the bathroom is over there. What do you think of this ce.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s cool, I love it.¡±


    ¡°You really have changed Anita. Look at your face, so pretty. I still can¡¯t forget not getting tired of looking at yourshes back then. It¡¯s still so long and beautifully ck. Look, you¡¯re now taller as well.¡± Kate didn¡¯t wanted to stop talking about Anita¡¯s body development.


    No one loves Anita more than she does, and that was her thought. Her friend was already a full grown young woman with beautiful curves and slender body.


    Soon, Anita settled in.


    ¡°What are you going to do now? Will you like to wait till Monday so you can go in search of a job or..?¡± she asked.


    ¡°Kate, in here for a reason, so there¡¯s no time to sleep.¡± Anita replied.


    ¡°Hahaha okay, yea I know you. So what are four ns?¡±


    ¡°Sass Media House scheduled an appointment with me. So I should be there tomorrow.¡± Anita answered.


    ¡°Sass Media House? I won¡¯t say it¡¯s not okay, but isn¡¯t it pretty small? I mean, I could join you look for a better job.¡± Kate suggested. Sass Media House is a pretty poprpany, but she thought of it as little because she knew just how brilliant Anita was.


    ¡°Darling, I want to be a reporter. Sass Media House just needs good reporters and they are good.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine dearie! I¡¯m here for you. Anytime!¡± she was willing, as long as it¡¯s something her friend wanted to do.


    ¡°I appreciate you kate! I will go check it out tomorrow morning.¡±


    ¡°Can Ie with you?¡±


    ¡°Sure darling!¡±


    Andre and Cass had just gotten to New Year City as they drove by the streets.


    ¡°Where did you get the house at?¡±


    ¡°Master! I got it at a simple building, not too far from Sass Media House.¡±


    ¡°okay cool. If after a while I didn¡¯t see what I expect, we will leave immediately.¡±


    ¡°Yes Master!¡±


    The next day, Anita made her way to Sass Media House, alongside her, was Kate.


    When they got to the three story media building, they walked in.


    ¡°Hello! How may I help you?¡± a security approached them.


    ¡°Hi Sir! we are here for a job.¡± Anita said politely.


    ¡°Come this way then.¡± He said, leading them to the elevator that will take them straight to the director¡¯s office.


    ¡°Thank you sir!¡±


    ¡°Kate, how will you go in with me? You aren¡¯t here to look for a job, are you?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m your bodyguard. Just invade you¡¯re being asked.¡± she answered joking.


    She just wanted to apany her girlfriend seeing as she was new to the city. Her work as a real estate agent was enough for her already. She had her boyfriend as well.


    When they got to the office door, Kate sat down at a bench close to the door, while Anita went ahead to knock on the door.


    ¡°Come in!¡± A woman¡¯s voice sounded from inside.


    Anita then took a deep breath and walked into the office.


    ¡°Good morning ma¡¯am!¡± she greeted respectfully.


    The woman was writing a few things with her sses on. Upon hearing the greeting, she raised her head.


    ¡°Good morning! Sit down.¡± she nodded as she answered.


    ¡°Thank you ma¡¯am!¡±


    Anita gazed at the middle aged woman at her front. This must be the director, she thought as she sat down obediently.


    ¡°You must be Anita!¡± The director said.


    ¡°Yes I am!¡± Anita confirmed.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°I¡¯m sure because I scheduled an appointment with just two people. A young man and you.¡± she said smiling.


    She sounded nice and spoke so naturally.


    Anita felt free.


    ¡°Oh! Sounds good ma¡¯am!¡±


    ¡°Yea. So please wait. I will attend to you both at the same time.¡± the director said, before she faced her work toplete what she was previously trying to jot down.


    In no less than five minutes, they heard a knock on the door.


    e in!¡±


    Immediately, Andre walked in.


    ¡°Good day everyone!¡± he said and sat down without permission.


    Anita froze.


    Did this man really wants to get this job? How could someone without wealth be so bold.


    Madam Cross didn¡¯t care. She was a kindhearted woman, so those kind of things didn¡¯t move her. In fact, it made her took a liking to Andre.


    ¡°So let¡¯s start.¡± she said as she cleared her desk.


    Madam Cross started by asking them a couple of questions which they answered perfectly.


    Satisfied, she then came to a conclusion.


    ¡°Anita, you will be our head reporter, while you will assist her with our equipments. Do you both agree to this? Let me know if you have any objections.¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s cool ma¡¯am.¡±


    ¡°No problems ma¡¯am. Thanks a lot!¡±


    ¡°alright. I think that¡¯s all for now. Please resume tomorrow.¡± she then said, discharging them.


    Anita¡¯s countenance then changed.

 The Incident.

    Chapter 3: The Incident.


    That wasn¡¯t what she expected. For some reasons unknown to her, she hated the idea of Andre being by her side.


    ¡°How did it go?¡± Kate rushed to her after she came out.


    ¡°It went well! I will resume tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Yaaaaa and that¡¯s how it should be Queen.¡±


    As they spoke, Andre walked out and stood behind Anita.


    Kate froze.


    How could someone be so handsome? She thought.


    ¡°Hey!¡± Andre then said, stretching his hand towards the girls.


    ¡°Hi!¡± Kate responded immediately.


    Anita then walked out.


    ¡°Where are you going?¡­ Wait!¡± Kate was surprised as she followed behind.


    The next day, Anita resumed. On entering the office door, what greeted her sight was Andre¡¯s handsome face.


    ¡°Good morning!¡±


    Looking at his face, Anita didn¡¯t know if she should respond or not. There was something about his appearance that she didn¡¯t like.


    ¡°Good morning dear, there¡¯s an incident urring at the kids park, it¡¯s the closest one to thispany. Hurry and go there! Be careful.¡± madam cross said as she walked towards the couple.


    ¡°yes ma¡¯am!¡± they said in duo as they picked up the equipments and left.


    Not too long after, they got to the kids park and was shocked to see the incident that was going on there.


    ¡°Can we really do this?¡± Andre said, being scared for Anita.


    Pissed, ¡°Be quiet, just follow me.¡±


    Walking slowly, they walked into the building, and headed to the security building as they watched.


    The whole kids that came to have fun where on the floor with their parents as they were being harassed. Even the staffs working in the park was not spared. They allid on the floor as they did anything that was asked of them.


    ¡°What do you have on you? Bring it out!¡± one of the robbers said to a woman who was heavily pregnant.


    ¡°Sir, I have nothing on me. The little I had, I gave it to the staffs in exchange for my son to have fun. Please spare me! I have nothing o¡­..¡±


    PAK!


    Before she wouldplete her statement, the robber raised his hand and gave her a hard p.


    The kids all over were crying but despite that, the robbers didn¡¯t think it was important to leave them.


    The little boy whose mother was pped was still in shock. He couldn¡¯t believe that someone would do that to his mom.


    ¡°Sir, how could you do that? She¡¯s my mother.¡± he said tearfully.


    ¡°Hey, will you shut up or should I blow off your mother¡¯s head.¡± another said, threatening with a gun.


    ¡°I¡¯ll keep quiet but please don¡¯t do anything to my mother, she¡¯s my mother please.¡± he answered crying out loud.


    The woman held her son with one hand as she weeped, holding her protruding belly with her other hand.


    Anita felt like she was going to faint when she watched the scene in front of her. This scene reminded her of so many things.


    There¡¯s no way these criminals was going to get away with this.


    Andre too felt bad about what he saw. ¡°What the fuck!¡± He said in his breath. Bringing out his phone, he dialed the police number. They should have been notified before then though. He was sure they were already on their way.


    ¡°How are you?¡± He turned to Anita as he asked.


    ¡°Seems like you love trouble. Well, I don¡¯t.¡±


    Andre: ¡°¡­¡±


    Could someone please tell him what was going on?


    Soon, sirens could be heard all over as the police blocked all the exits. There was no ce to run away from.


    The robbers didn¡¯t expect it, they had not expect the police to show up so soon, even as they had been trying to take everything before leaving.


    The police officers came out immediately, as they unleashed their bullets.


    ¡°Bring up the camera! Fast!¡± Anita shouted at Andre.


    ¡°Sure ma¡¯am!¡± Andre responded, raising his camera to capture every single thing.


    Oh my gosh!Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Anita could not believe her eyes.


    More police cars came to the venue. They didn¡¯t stop blowing their horns.


    Each of them rushed in holding a gun, except Officer Thomas, who held two guns at the same time.


    The zeal to destroy those criminals once and for all were written all over his as he rushed in.


    When Anita saw him, she froze.


    Who was this man? She thought.


    His demeanor and aura was so scary as he was in action.


    ¡°are you capturing it?¡± she turned to Andre as he held the camera.


    ¡°yes!¡± Andre then said, lifting his camera higher.


    Thomas ran into the room fearlessly holding his guns. He looked ready to terminate anyone.


    Heading in, he pulled the trigger, sweeping almost all the thugs off from the surface of the earth within minutes.


    It was remaining one thug. They choose to leave him, taking him straight to the station.


    ¡°You all should leave now.¡± He shouted.


    Everyone stood up terrified. Some police officers assisted them as they made their way out of the pce.


    The moment everything was over, officer Thomas was about to leave when his smart eyes caught with Anita.


    Anita didn¡¯t expect him to see her. She looked at him back, so they stared at each other for sometime.


    Anita looked like she was so proud of him as she headed to him.


    ¡°Sir, can I ask a few questions?¡± she said, trying to take permission.


    Thomas was up and ready, so seeing this, he nodded at the camera.


    Anita then brought out her microphone as she started.


    ¡°Sir, please introduce yourself.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m Thomas by name, an officer of thew.¡±


    ¡°Sir, what do you have to say about the incident that just urred?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll say it was unexpected, but regardless, we the corps are up and running.¡±


    While the questions and answers were going on? Andre was sure to capture every moment.


    Looking at officer Thomas through the camera, his countenance changed. For some reasons, he just didn¡¯t like Thomas.

 At First Sight

    Chapter 4: At First Sight


    ¡°Sir, you were awesome today, what is it you have to say to the people of New York City?¡±


    ¡°Whenever you¡¯re in need of any kind of help in regard to your safety, please do not hesitate to inform we the officers of thew, as we are always here for you.¡± officer Thomas answered wlessly.


    When Anita and Andre got back to the office, they met with madam cross.


    ¡°I¡¯m so proud of you Anita. I never expected you to perform so well. This is like the best Sass Media House has been able to offer since the beginning of this year.¡±


    ¡°Thank you ma¡¯am! I promise not to disappoint.¡±


    ¡°Please don¡¯t! You can have the rest day off! We will meet again tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°God bless you ma¡¯am!¡± she responded and left for home.


    Madam cross looked at her with admiration in her eyes as she smiled.This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    She just got an asset. She must make sure she treated Anita right, else a higherpany would take her away.


    Anita got home exhausted. She could not believe her eyes. Sitting on her bed, she thought about everything that had urred that day. What a world!


    People could be really heartless.


    Thinking about officer Thomas, she smiled. He was one in a million.


    She had never seen an officer so devoted to his works. He was more than a police officer to her.


    Kate walked in happily as she pounced on Anita to give her a tight hug.


    ¡°You are so amazing girl. Under twenty four hours, you are already all over the TVs in New York City.¡± she said aloud.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Anita asked confused.


    ¡°What do you mean by what I meant? I saw you on the TV not too long ago. You were questioning a police officer poprly known as Thomas.¡±


    ¡°Oh yeah! Yes I was.¡± Anita then said looking cleared.


    ¡°Girlie, you really are brave.¡±


    ¡°I had to! It¡¯s part of my job you know.¡±


    ¡°Yea I know. I¡¯m just surprised you went on with it despite the risks involved.¡±


    ¡°I had to! I feel so tired girl. I just want to catch some rest so I can be strong for tomorrow. I have no idea what it actually holds for me.¡± she said, turning to face the wall.


    ¡°OK but how about I make you something to eat. You can have some from the microwave when you wake up.¡±


    ¡°OK..¡± Anita mumbled as she dozed off.


    On the other side, Andre had juste back to the new apartment. He had actually wondered why he was moving towards the same direction as Anita until he saw her entered her apartment.


    He was surprised and wondered how he didn¡¯t realize that they lived in the same building.


    He wondered if she knew they lived close to each other.


    Smiling, he sat down on his sofa as he recalled everything that had happened at the park.


    He remembered the police officer. He didn¡¯t know about Anita, but the police officer didn¡¯t look like a good and reliable office of thew, even though he had actually helped those people.


    He had gone through life, so when he sights fakes, he was sure to know.


    Let¡¯s see how it goes though! He thought.


    Thomas sat on his dinning chair as he watched the news in regards to the incident at the park.


    He could tell that Anita was a starter by just looking at her.


    Despite being new, she was smart with her questions.


    This was the kind of woman he needed right at that moment. Smart but fragile.


    Sipping his wine, thoughts went through his memory.


    Soon, his phone rang. It was an unsaved number, but he knew who that was.


    ¡°Hello! My lord!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sure you know why I¡¯m calling you.¡±


    ¡°My lord, I think so but you can brief me.¡±


    ¡°That reporter!¡±


    ¡°Yes! I¡¯m watching the news at the moment, but what about her?¡±


    ¡°That girl could be of help to you! Draw her closer.¡±


    ¡°But my lord, what do we need her for?¡±


    ¡°Remember you are in the process of trying to gain a certain standing. If we must not be caught, you will need to be trusted by not only the force but the public.¡±


    Thinking about it, ¡°That sounds like something I should try.¡±


    ¡°But what if it doesn¡¯t work out? She could probably bemitted to someone, leaving me with no chance.¡±


    ¡°I already searched her. She¡¯s alone. This is the right time to strike.¡±


    ¡°You are the greatest my lord! I will be sure to get that done.¡±


    ¡°Make haste while the sun shines!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll keep you updated my lord.¡± he then said, hanging up the phone.


    Realizing something, he smiled. Howe he has never thought of that?


    Picking up his phone, he dialed a number.


    ¡°Hello!¡±


    ¡°Hi Sir!¡±


    ¡°I need information in regards to the reporter that questioned me today. Her phone number could go a long way.¡±


    ¡°Sure Sir!¡±


    ¡°Make it quick.¡± He said, hanging up the phone.


    He was going to give this a try.


    In less than ten minutes, a message entered his phone.


    He then smiled.


    He decided to give her a few hours, she must be resting after the day¡¯s work.


    Anita had just woken upter that evening as she staggered to the kitchen, opened the microwave and took out some food for herself. Anita was about to start eating in her sitting room when she got a call from an unknown number.


    She didn¡¯t remember giving anyone her number so to avoid issues, she didn¡¯t pick it up.


    The phone rang again, she still didn¡¯t pick.


    On the third ringing, she ignorantly picked it up, feeling a bit pissed.


    ¡°Who¡¯s this? And how may I help you?¡± she asked as she tried to eat her food.


    The person didn¡¯t answer, keeping mute..


    ¡°Hello? Who¡¯s there?¡± She asked again.


    No one answered.

 Got You!

    Chapter 5: Got You!


    How could someone call her and be acting to strange? She thought.


    Being really pissed, she wanted to end the phone call when the person spoke up.


    ¡°Officer Thomas!¡± He answered after what seemed like forever.


    Anita froze.


    Officer Thomas? Wasn¡¯t that the man she questioned not too long ago?


    How did he get her number?


    ¡°Hello Sir! I didn¡¯t realize that was you.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine darling.¡±


    ¡°How about we meet up for dinner? Bills on me!¡±


    ¡°Dinner?¡± Anita froze.


    She couldn¡¯t remember anyone asking her for a date.


    ¡°OK sure! I mean why not.¡± she agreed immediately.


    ¡°I¡¯lle pick you up, just hold on.¡± he said, hanging up the phone.


    Anita could not still believe she just spoke to that man.


    Wow!


    But why did he end the call when he had not even asked for her location? Was he so sure he could get to her?


    As her thought ran, Kate came in.


    ¡°You are awake! How do you feel now?¡± Kate asked, checking her friend¡¯s body temperature.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine girlie, don¡¯t be dramatic.¡±


    ¡°Guess what? That officer Thomas called me, asking for a date.¡±


    ¡°so what did you say?¡±


    ¡°I.. I epted.¡± she said, stuttering.


    ¡°Why do you feel guilty for epting? You deserve it you know.¡±


    ¡°I really do think I deserve happiness, but what will people think? You know he¡¯s a public figure.¡±


    ¡°Yeah I do. You also are. Look, under a few hours you are making waves. Everyone¡¯smending you for your bravery.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m only doing my job as a reporter.¡±


    ¡°So did you hear the recent development?¡±


    ¡°what¡¯s that?¡±


    ¡°Come on now, you know what I¡¯m talking about?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think I do.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m talking about the guy I saw at Sass Media House. He lives next door. I heard he came in the day you came into this house.


    ¡°Oh OK then!¡±


    ¡°Just that? Well I think he¡¯s cool.¡±


    Anita then got dressed and waited.


    Her phone rang. Looking at it, she picked it up.


    ¡°I¡¯m at your door.¡±


    ¡°My door? Oh OK!¡±


    How did he find her? She thought.


    ¡°Stop thinking, just go.¡± Kate said, pushing her slightly when she saw Anita thinking.


    Antis Restaurant


    Anita had never been to a better ce than the one she was in. Looking around the luxurious building, she was amazed. Everything looked fantastic.


    ¡°Sit down.¡± Thomas said, directing her to a sit by the side of the restaurant.


    ¡°Wow! Here looks beautiful.¡± she said,plimenting him.


    ¡°Not as beautiful as you!¡± he responded.


    Anita blushed.


    ¡°Hello Sir! Hello ma¡¯am! Please make your order.¡± a waitress walked up to them, cing the menu on their table.


    Thomas took it and made as much order as he could.


    By the time the dishes were served, the table was filled up.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    They then started eating. Thomas ate for a while, then paused and looked at her admiringly.


    Anita didn¡¯t notice until she looked up.


    Blushing, she paused eating as well. Their eyes locked.


    ¡°I can make you the top best reporter in the whole of New York City. Do you believe me?¡± He asked looking at her.


    Anita froze.


    That was possible, she believed him. It had not been long she questioned him yet she was already all over.


    She wondered what it would look like if she questioned him a few more times.


    ¡°I believe you officer Thomas!¡± she replied, smiling.


    ¡°From today, I¡¯ll be providing you with information. You will be relevant to this nation and to yourpany. The only thing you have to do is question me, making my image look good to the public. Do you like that?¡±


    ¡°Oh my goodness! Thanks a lot Officer Thomas. I really do appreciate this.¡±


    ¡°Just call me Thomas.¡± He said, monitoring her reaction.


    How is she so easy? He thought.


    He had never seen someone so easy to convince.


    Anita was over the moon. This was the best she had gotten so far, she could not wait to go home and present the news to Anita.


    ¡°Take a look at this file. This should keep yourpany busy for now.¡± He said, bringing out a document and handed it over to her.


    Anita froze.


    Seeing how shocked she looked, he smiled.


    ¡°Eat up, I will drop you off.¡±


    Anita had already ate her fill at the sight of the document. Madam Cross old be so happy. She thought.


    ¡°I think I¡¯m okay. We should leave.¡± She said smiling.


    As Thomas drove through the streets of New York City, he stopped at a mall.


    ¡°Be good, I¡¯ll be back in some minutes.¡± he said and left the car.


    When he came back, he came back with a few bags as he handed it over to her.


    Surprised, she couldn¡¯t even stretch her hand to take it.


    ¡°Just take it!¡± He said persuading her to receive it.


    Shy, she took it.


    ¡°You have done so much for me already. Thank you so much Thomas.¡±


    ¡°I like you! Can you be my woman?¡± He then asked.


    Anita froze.


    His woman? She hadn¡¯t thought about it.


    Since they were going to cooperate and be important to each other, it would make sense.


    Smiling, she didn¡¯t say anything.


    ¡°The smile tells it all!¡± He said as he started the car and drove her home. Anita smiled all through the journey.


    Thomas dropped her off at the front of her house, kissed her chick and left.


    ¡°Oh my goodness Anita! This is awesome!¡± Kate praised, jumping in amazement when Anita entered the house.


    ¡°Thanks girlie!¡±


    ¡°Come on now! I need some gist.¡±


    ¡°Pause with the curiousity girlie. I need some rest.¡± she then said, going in.


    ¡°OK cool. Rest, while I enjoy these cupcakes!¡± she said, smiling widely.


    Anita¡¯s mind was filled with the documents that was given to her.


    It must contain valuable information. She thought.


    Anita had a cool shower, sat on her bed as she took the document out to take a look at it.


    When she opened the file, Anita froze.

 The File

    Chapter 6: The File


    ¡°What could this be about? No way!¡± she said, covering her mouth in shock. There were two different paper in therge file.


    Anita took down the file and climbed her bed very well, took out everything around her as she started going through the paper.


    ¡°Cases?¡±


    Those papers contained cases that she could never had dreamt of holding. There were even cases of crimes that would ur in two days.


    ¡°How did he manage to know criminals¡¯ secret?¡± she asked in whispers to no one in particr as his brows creased in worry.


    Yes she knew he was an officer of thew, but this was way too much of information. How did he manage to do that? Does he have connections in the underworld?


    Anita thought about so many things, but in conclusion, she refused to ept that he has connection with criminals to be able to have such in a file.


    Should she be scared, she thought. She didn¡¯t think she should because, after all, she was his girlfriend. He should be able to protect her from harm¡¯s way.


    Should she really do this? She thought, trying to take her mind away from this, but on another thought, she didn¡¯t think she was doing something so wrong.


    The was going to build her into a top reporter in this City, all she had to do was to make him look better in the public¡¯s eyes all the time. It didn¡¯t seem like a hard task for her though.


    In fact, it would be an honour to her if her man could be the number one officer the society respects. His bravery was topnotch.


    ¡ª


    Kate had not heard any sound since Anita walked in and she was already feeling a bit worried.


    This was so unlike her. Pushing open the door to the main room Anita was in, she got in and jam it shot. Anita jumped in fright. She had not expected anyone toe in.


    ¡°W.. what¡¯s wrong? Why¡­ why¡­ are you here?¡± Anita asked, her heart pounding in fright.


    Kate stood for sometime, seeing how her girlfriend was acting.


    It was then she knew that something was definitely not right with Anita. Walking to her, she climbed the bed and looked into Anita¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°What¡¯s with the fright on you face?¡± she asked.


    ¡°Fright? What fright?¡± Anita asked, trying to cover up her face.


    ¡°Anita fright. I see fright in your eyes. This is not the Anita that just walked in a few moment ago.¡± Kate was already getting worried for her friend.


    ¡°Kate, trust me, I am fine. Go to sleep.¡± Anita said, trying to convince Kate to leave.


    ¡°No way Anita! And what¡¯s that thing in your hands? Anita asked, as she grabbed the paper out of Anita hands.


    Anita never expected it so she jumped up to get it back but it was Kate she was dealing with¡­


    ¡°Kate please stay out of this. I have it under control.¡± Anita nervously said on seeing Kate¡¯s expression.


    ¡°Anita!¡± Kate said silently.


    ¡°Yes! Kate!¡± Anita answered anxiously.


    ¡°Anita!!¡± Kate called again.


    Anita was so worried that she didn¡¯t know when a tear slipped out of her eyes.


    ¡°Kate! Trust me, I really don¡¯t understand this either. I don¡¯t even have an idea what I am getting myself into.¡±


    ¡°Anita why do you have these? And how did you get them?¡± Kate finally opened her mouth to ask.This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Officer Thomas gave me.¡± she replied.


    ¡ª


    In another building, inside a room sat Andre as he focused on theptop in front of him. Soon, he heard a knock on the door.


    ¡°Come in.¡± he said without looking up.


    Cass walked in quietly and gently shot the door behind him.


    ¡°Hello master¡± Cass bowed respectfully.


    Andre shook his head as he never took his attention away from theptop.


    ¡°Master, this is the file you requested earlier.¡± Cass said as he reported to Andre.


    Andre paused what he was doing to take a look at his assistant. He then nodded his head and took the file from him.


    ¡ª


    Inside Anita¡¯s room, bothdies sat still on the bed not knowing when and how to start up a conversation with the other.


    After what seemed like forever, Kate looked at Anita.


    ¡°Anita, ever since you started dreaming ofing into New York City, apart from being a reporter, you have keen interest in the entertainment industry. But, from what I can see here, you are trying to get involved in the force world. You are not the police dear, plus this City can be pretty weird. I don¡¯t think this is so okay for you. The corrupt top residents can do something to harm you if care is not taken.¡± Kate said aloud, stating her fears.


    Anita couldn¡¯t speak for some minutes as she thought about all the things that her friend had just said.


    She was right. But what could she do now? She had alreadye this far. ¡°Kate, you are right, but see where fate has gotten me to. First, it was the incident, then Officer Thomas, the date, the offer, not long after, I became his woman. So literally, we are now partners. I think Thomas really likes me with the way he looks at me and speaks to me. If I ever got into danger, I am sure he would he able to save me. He is capable Kate. Just trust me.¡± Anita said, trying make Kate understand her.


    She didn¡¯t think she needed anyone to tell her to look back at the moment. She just wanted to go with the flow of life.


    ¡°How sure are you that this guy will protect you at all cost?¡±


    ¡°Kate he will. He is my man now right?¡± Anita confirmed and decided to rest the case. She lifted her bed spread and went to sleep.


    The next day, Anita made her way to the office first thing in the morning with one of the paper in hand.

 Fire

    Chapter 7: Fire


    On getting to the office, she went straight to Madam Cross¡¯ office and knocked.


    ¡°Come in!¡± Madam Cross said a bit loud as she concentrated on the workload at her front that morning.


    ¡°Good morning ma¡¯am.¡± Anita greeted respectfully as she headed towards Madam Cross.


    ¡°Grand rising Anita! I hope you had a nice restst night. Come and take a look at this file on my table. It¡¯s about a case we need to pay attention to.


    Investigating on this matter would be really worth it.¡± Madam Cross kept talking.


    Sensing Anita¡¯s silence that morning, she looked up.


    ¡°So what¡¯s with the silence. I am talking to you about what I need you to attend to. Can you even hear me Anita?¡± she said with her hands crossed.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am I can hear you. I just have something I would love to talk to you about.¡± Anita said, her voice sounding a bit hard.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Madam Cross could sense the seriousness from her. Without a second thought on the matter, ¡°Sit down Anita. I am all ears.¡± she responded quickly.


    ¡°Grateful, ¡°thank you ma¡¯am! Please take a look at this paper.¡± Anita said, she then sat down and stretched the paper towards Madam Cross. Madam Cross took the paper without thinking twice.


    After ten minutes, Madam Cross and Anita was in the office as they started at each other. Clearing her throat, Madam Cross broke the silence first.


    ¡°Anita, who are you?¡± she silently asked.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am I am just a simple girl. I just happened to get this information from a friend and I think it will be a good help to Sass Media House, so I thought I should bring it to you.¡±


    ¡°Wow Anita! You are awesome! This will be valuable to us indeed.¡± Madam Cross said, looking at the paper.


    Officer Thomas sat in his office as he thought about everything that happened the night before.


    He smiled.


    It felt so good. ¡°This seem like a good sign. Picking up his phone, he called an unsaved number.


    ¡°Why are you calling?¡± A thick voice sounded from the other end of the phone.


    ¡°My lord! Grand rising! Everything seems fine. Soon, I will be the best and most famous police officer. All thanks to your brilliance and of course, my smartness.¡±


    ¡°Shut up! You are yet to, so don¡¯t just wish. Work towards it instead. Make sure she can trust youpletely. Do you understand?¡±


    ¡°What can I do to a huge that?¡±


    ¡°If she¡¯s now your woman, you know what to do.¡±


    ¡°Yes, my lord.¡± I¡­¡± before he couldplete his statement, the call ended.


    ¡°Urghh!¡± Thomas could not really get why this man keeps being indifferent when it came to matters that both of them were involved in. Anyways, what matters is that soon, he would get to the level he had always dreamt of.


    ¡°Anita, I see so much potential in you. I feel like soon, you will be the most talked about in this city. How on earth are you this smart and connected?¡± Madam Cross still couldn¡¯t believe her eyes as she looked at Anita.


    ¡°Ma¡¯am I wish to be of good importance to this gracious media house, but, I don¡¯t want to just wish for it, I want to be practical and work towards it.¡± Anita responded with a slight smile on her face.


    ¡°From the looks of it, I think ording to this paper, there us a case tomorrow. So, I think ns has changed. We have to prepare for this case Anita. 5pm tomorrow evening.¡± Madam cross said to Anita.


    ¡°Yes ma¡¯am.¡± Anita responded with determination.


    ¡°Also, I hope you know it¡¯s not about being present, you have to ensure you capture useful information and don¡¯t forget to stay safe.¡± Madam Cross said to her in concern.


    She was aware of how dangerous these missions can be and didn¡¯t think it would be cool sending her employees out without warning them of their safety.


    ¡°Yes ma¡¯am. I am aware of that.¡± Anita responded. She fully understood.


    ¡°Good!¡±


    ¡°I will take my leave now if there¡¯s nothing else ma¡¯am.¡±


    ¡°Alright Anita, we will discuss the sess after the win.¡± smiling slightly, Anita made her way out of the office and unknowingly bumped into Andre, causing their heads to hit against each other.


    ¡°Ouch! What the hell? Weren¡¯t you looking?¡± Anita stated furiously seeing as it was Andre.


    Why does she only have to deal with this individual early in the morning. For goodness sake there were better times toe across him.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but you weren¡¯t looking either. You have such a stony forehead, my voice should be louder.¡± he spat.


    Anita froze.


    A strong forehead? Did he just call her that? Gosh this dude is so annoying.


    Blinking hershes, she attempted to walk away.


    ¡°Anita wait.¡± Andre grabbed her by her arm.


    ¡°Don¡¯t touch me Andre.¡± Anita said a bit aggressive.


    ¡°I am sorry, please wait. If we don¡¯t cooperate, how do we work together?¡± Andre asked as he touched his forehead.


    ¡°You might as well resign.¡± Anita told him as she kept moving away.


    ¡°But I don¡¯t want to resign, I want to work here. Since we were ced in the same spot, I can only ask for your cooperation.¡±


    He made sense and she knew it.


    Anita thought about it clearly. She understood that she didn¡¯t like him, but since they were working together, it was only normal that they get along.


    She was going to do this, but for business purposes only. Turning to look at him, she noticed how stressed he looked.


    Was it not just an argument? He looked like he was already tired of her and trying to keep up.


    She wanted to keep talking, but seeing as I was necessary to cooperate, she decided to go easy on him.


    ¡°Fine. There will be a matter to handle tomorrow by 5pm. Get ready, it will be a fire case.¡± she said and walked out.


    Andre froze.

 Riding

    Chapter 8: Riding


    12pm Bliss Hotel


    Inside a wide and luxurious chairs sat Officer Thomas and his gang as they went through arge drawing that was ced on the table in their midst.


    On therge paper was a drawing of a fuel station known as Arc Oil N¡¯ Gas.


    Arc Oil N¡¯ Gas was a newly built fuel station at built at the end of New York City.


    Robin Sar, a retired police officer owned it. He had it built after retiring from the force due to pressure.


    ¡°Pick up a frustrated criminal and have him set the fire. It¡¯s better he lives no more for our own good than waste in jail tsk tsk! Why aren¡¯t you saying anything. Or you don¡¯t think I am making sense?¡± Thomas asked?


    The men around him froze.


    ¡°I think you¡¯re right, but wouldn¡¯t this be going to far? What if we get caught in action?¡± One of the men asked, about to shiver.


    ¡°You think we would get caught?¡± Thomas asked with a smirk on his face. Standing up from his chair, he strode towards Sam, went closer to his ear like he was about to speak to him and bit his left ear so hard.


    ¡°Ahhhh!¡± Sam screamed. He never expected it.


    ¡°If you can¡¯t provide someone, sacrifice yourself and don¡¯t stress my operation.¡± Thomas whispered. Turning to the rest, ¡°I am ready, you should too. Remember, you can¡¯t fuck this up.¡± he then walked away.


    12am Arc Oil N¡¯ Gas


    A ck sport car pulled up at Arc Oil N¡¯ Gas in a secret corner as Adam, Dave and Mike came down and got into the fuel station with a mini torchlight in their hands.


    ¡°Adam, be careful. Your right. Mike, your left.¡± Dave whispered and walked straight into the building to destroy thetv around the station.


    The three men walked around, bursted tanks and made them leak.


    Twenty minutester, they rushed out and entered the car. Immediately they got in, Sam started the car and they disappeared out of sight.


    The next morning in Anita¡¯s apartment.


    It was 6am and Anita was still in bed. What woke her up was the sound of a knock on her door.


    Stretching, she tried to keep her head calm as she headed towards the door.


    ¡°Kate? So early!¡± she said, a bit surprised to see Kate.


    ¡°Are you surprised? Don¡¯t be.¡± Kate said a bit loud with giggles as she pushed open the door and entered the house.


    ¡°Good morning Kate!¡±


    ¡°Grand rising darling!¡±


    Anita was feeling so exhausted due to the stress she had put herself throughst night while thinking about Andre and theing incident.


    ¡°Are you okay Anita?¡± Kate asked as she studied her friend.


    ¡°I am fine, I just feel tired and need to rest.¡± she said as she fell on the couch in the sitting room.


    This cracked Kate up as she startedughing at her.


    After seeing that Anita didn¡¯t feel like speaking a word to anyone, Kate headed to the kitchen to make simple breakfast for both of them with the little item she walked in with.


    After one hour, she returned to the sitting to see that Anita was stillying weak on the couch.


    ¡°Anita don¡¯t you have work to do at the media house today? Are you alright you look weak.¡± she said to her, changing her tone of voice after noticing some look on her face.


    ¡°Anita talk to me. Is everything okay? Tell me.¡± Kate said calmly as she walked towards Anita.


    ¡°Kate I am fine. I just need some rest. After that, I will prepare and go to work.¡± Anita responded, not willing to share her problem.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care about what you say right now, but you have to exin why you feel down so early in the morning. The Anita I know is definitely not like this.¡± she spat, a bit angry. After some seconds, she calmed down and walked to Anita, ¡°Is it about your job? What do you have to do today?¡± she asked.


    Anita was already feeling so touched at the care that kate was throwing her way. This kind of care was one in a million, one she knew she could hardly ever see somewhere else.


    ¡°Kate, it¡¯s about work. I have a bad feeling about this. I just hope all goes well.¡± Anita managed to respond.


    ¡°If that work will keep giving you unnecessary trauma, you should drop it. Nothing is more important than your mental health Anita.¡± Kate said to her.


    ¡°Kate I am fine. You know it¡¯s not so easily to get a good job. How sure are you that the boss of the nextpany would treat me like my current boos?¡±


    ¡°Anita, it¡¯s not about that. Your mental health is what I am speaking about right now.¡±


    ¡°I know you care about me a lot kate, but I will handle it.¡± Anita replied.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. As long as it has nothing to do with your safety.¡±


    ¡°Erm actually, it does.¡±


    ¡°It what?¡± Kate froze.


    ¡°Kate, this is my problem. Fire is about to break out by 5pm this evening. I am aware that the fire would break out, that¡¯s why I am freezing. Kate people will lose their lives.¡± Anita exposed their fears.


    Kate¡¯s mouth was widely open in shock.


    ¡°Do you know the worst case? The bad thing about this is that I can not tell anyone about it because the fire has to break out.¡± Anita continued helplessly.


    She had remembered calling Thomasst night to check up on him.


    She was walking allover her room as her heart was beating faster. Thomas was not picking her calls and that only grew her worry.


    She couldn¡¯t rest or even sleep because her thoughts were full.


    She needed to save humans¡¯ lives. Since he was a police officer, would it not be the best if he made calls and put things in order?


    Kate stood frozen as she watched her friend.This is from N?velDrama.Org.

 Breakout

    Chapter 9: Breakout


    After what seemed like forever, she came back to her senses.


    ¡°Anita, tell me this is a lie.¡± Kate spat in a second.


    ¡°I would never lie to you. I called him countless timesst night, but he didn¡¯t pick up. The minute I texted him that people needed to know what wasing for them, he called me and warned me not to spit out any speech. Kate I have been feeling weak since then. I don¡¯t know what to you.¡±


    ¡°Jesus Christ! Tell me this is a joke Anita. How could you keep quiet then? You need to let people know. Do you know how many lives will be ended if you refused to speak?¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t understand and you don¡¯t have to understand Kate.¡±


    ¡°Anita you can¡¯t do this.¡±


    ¡°Kate, Thomas is my man. I have to obey him.¡±


    ¡°I am not asking you to disobey him. I just need you to be safe for me that¡¯s all. This is so risky Anita.¡±


    ¡°Whatever it is, I just have to pull this through for him.¡±


    ¡°So what about your safety?¡± Kate asked worriedly.


    ¡°He assured me of that. He said I will be fine.¡±


    ¡°Hmm I hope so. Come and have breakfast dear.¡± Kate then said with hope in her voice as she walked towards Anita, helped her stand up and held her to the simple dinning area to have their breakfast.


    Inside Madam Cross¡¯ office.


    ¡°Andre, you don¡¯t need toin about anything if Anita is yet to. She agreed to this, so you have no choice but to join her.¡± Madam Cross said to Andre as she tried her best to keep a straight face at the presence of this charming dude at her front.


    Sitting up, Andre looked straight into Madam Cross¡¯ eyes. ¡°How sure are you that she will be fine?¡± he asked fearlessly.


    Madam Cross froze.


    She never expected that question from him. How could a man like him care so much about a girl who clearly does not give a fuck about you?


    She had once witnessed Anita conversing with Andre a few times, and from her expression during those moment, Anita was never finding him funny or pleasing to the eye, so why was he doing this?Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    ¡°She will be fine, everyone will be.¡± Madam Cross said to him, trying to convince him to follow-up.


    Not long after, Madam Cross heard a knock on her door.


    ¡°Come in!¡± she said loud.


    The door then opened and there she was.


    ¡°Hello ma¡¯am, you asked to see me.¡± she said immediately she entered.


    ¡°Yes I did Anita. I think your assistant has some issues with the assignmentter today and I think it has to do with your safety. You should sort things out.¡± she said to anita and focused on her work.


    Anita froze.


    Has some issues? My safety?


    In the long passage, just outside of Madam Cross¡¯ office stood Anita and Andre.


    ¡°Are you kidding me?¡±


    ¡°What do you mean? Of course not.¡±


    ¡°What business do you have with this. You¡¯re my assistant and I except you to go anywhere with me without objection just like I had agreed to. Why do you want to ruin my job?¡±


    ¡°I am not trying to ruin your job Anita.¡±


    ¡°5pm today, don¡¯t forget.¡± she then said and walked out.


    Andre stood ad he watched her leave.


    There was something this woman just couldn¡¯t figure out and he could feel it.


    Rubbing his forehead, he left as well.


    ¡ª


    4:50pm Arc Oil N¡¯ Gas


    Anita arrived at Arc Oil N¡¯ Gas with Andre secretly. On getting there, they secured a good spot and stayed there, observing everything that was going on in the fuel station.


    ¡°I wonder why nothing has happened. Are you sure your source is genuine?¡± Andre asked Anita after they had stayed there for over thirty minutes with nothing to show.


    ¡°Just be quiet Andre. I don¡¯t need your opinion. Be patient.¡± she said, rolling her eyes.


    ¡°Being with you is patience, so I have it in abundance.¡±


    ¡°Are you mocking me?¡± Anita asked, ready to attack him.


    ¡°Not at all!¡± he responded quickly, lifting his hands so as to save himself.


    ¡°Look!¡± Anita spat immediately.


    Andre then picked up his camera and focused.


    A man dressed in a prisoner¡¯s attire walked into the fuel station with a big can in hand. When he got there, he grabbed the can of a man who had just bought fuel, he opened in and threw in a cigarette, causing people who were watching at that moment to scream in shock.


    Everywhere scattered as fire exploded, moving in different direction.


    People had seen the man entered, but they had no idea what his plot was and was never sure of what he intended to do with the can when he had taken it from the stranger. Before they could react, it was already sote.


    Sure was going round the station with full force.


    Anita and Andre took countless steps backwards, while catching every glimpse of the incident.


    Firefighters appeared at the scenes and got to work, but no matter how they tried, no one could stop the mes.


    It was then they discovered that the whole tanks in the station was leaking and had been leaking before the incident.


    People who were at the back of the building were burning as loud cries was all over the ce.


    Painful screams could be heard as the security men rushed in, trying to save as many as they could.


    They had never experienced an incident of such every since their career as this seemed like something that had been nned.


    ¡°Are you capturing everything?¡± Anita shouted in Andre¡¯s ear a she held his sleeve.


    This was shocking to her. She never thought of it as this.


    ¡°Oh no!¡± She felt so guilty as a tear slipped out of her eyes.


    Was this what she signed for? No way! Thomas would have to exin himself as this was totally uneptable.

 Agenda

    Chapter 10: Agenda


    Not long after, sounds of police sirens could be heard all over the ce, causing Anita to breath out in relief.


    ¡°Finally, he¡¯s here.¡± she whispered. Turning to Andre, ¡°record this please.¡± she said to him and stood up, running in their direction.


    Andre froze.


    ¡°Anita wait!¡± he screamed, but could not put down the camera.


    What on earth was she doing?


    Anita ran all the way and made her way to the front of the police vehicle that had just arrived.


    The police men came down and got to duty without minding her except Thomas.


    ¡°Leave here!¡± he screamed and jumped into the fire.


    The fire never went out. Even though the police managed to ensure that no life was lost.


    Everyone stood as they watched the station burn down to ashes.


    Soon, only strong smoke could be seening out of the said station as Anita started her interview with Thomas again.


    Back in her apartment.


    Anita sat on her couch with Kate as watched the headlines.


    Kate couldn¡¯t ce her fingers on what she felt was wrong with everything happening around her.


    ¡°If he knew that was to happen, why didn¡¯t stop it? Instead, he made you do this? Something has to be wrong.¡± kate said to anita.


    ¡°Come on now. Don¡¯t get me started. He is such a good man, why can¡¯t you see it? It would have been an issue if he didn¡¯t appear, but he did. Look!¡± Anita replied, pointing at the television as it disyed the moment Thomas jumped into the fire to rescue lives.


    ¡°He is so so brave and I admire his courage. How many police men did you see that did what Thomas did?¡± she continued as she asked with pride in her eyes.


    She was worried that he wouldn¡¯t show up, but he did. ¡°By the way, you never told me about yourself and your boyfriend. Why don¡¯t you spill?¡±


    ¡°Anita there is nothing to spill. Let¡¯s watch the tv.¡± kate didn¡¯t seem ready for the conversation. Her reaction alone made Anita burst intoughter.


    ¡°Sir, I think something is fishy.¡± Cass stated to Andre.


    ¡°Why did you think so?¡± Andre asked with a brow raised up.


    ¡°Sir, it¡¯s a set up. I am confident in my speech. I just don¡¯t know who did it, but I can find out with your permission.¡±


    ¡°No you shouldn¡¯t. As long as it has nothing rted to me.¡± Andre replied with a warm smile.


    ¡°You are so dumb, how could you?¡± the thick voice sounded to Thomas over the phone.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry boss!¡±


    ¡°Sorry for yourself. You are being careless. You shouldn¡¯t have let the whole station burn.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you think he deserves it? I actually think he does deserve it.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t seem scared of revenge.¡± he replied and ended the phone call.


    Thomas groaned in pains as he smashed the ss wine in his right hand on the floor.


    Damn it! He had never thought of revenge. He shouldn¡¯t have let the whole station burn as it was not his right, but his men should have worked with what he had said.


    ¡°He doesn¡¯t even know me.¡± Thomas knows that it would be hard to bring him down without evidence. The owner of the station would never think of him as a suspect.


    ¡°I feel fine! I am fine¡± he said to himself and focused.


    Dialing another number, he picked up another wine ss as he waited for the person to pick up.


    ¡°Hello Officer Thomas!¡± Sam greeted.


    ¡°I am not interested in anything of your greetings. Why don¡¯t you guys stick to n? Do you wish to implicate me?¡± he asked in anger.


    ¡°We are so sorry Sir. We didn¡¯t mean for the whole station to burn down.¡± Sam replied as his voice shook.


    Thomas was so mad that he ended the call to avoid more exnation of his men carelessness.


    Kate¡¯s Apartment


    ¡°Where have you been kate?¡±


    ¡°It should be, where have you been Alex?¡±Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Meaning?¡±


    ¡°Meaning, where did you go to for days without even informing me. I didn¡¯t want to stay alone, so since my friend was around, I didn¡¯t think twice before going to her. Where were y¡­¡±


    PAK!


    Before Kate couldplete her statement, her ears already went numb.


    ¡°Alex why? Why did you do that? I thought you changed.¡± she turned and. Said to him, hot tears streaming down her face.


    ¡°You deserve to be be thought a lesson. I don¡¯t care about what you feel like.¡± Alex shouted and dashed into his room feeling so irritated be his girlfriend.


    Kate stood as she became dumbfounded. How on earth does he keep doing this to her. She was pretty sure that this changed, howe she was facing this again?


    Should she remain her like always, or should she leave to her friend¡¯s ce? She thought.


    Depressed, she said down on the sitting room couch as she reminisced on everything that had been going on.


    Two dayster,


    Anita was in her room getting ready for bed she a knock on the door.


    ¡°Who could that be?¡± she thought.


    Standing up, she walked towards the door and had it opened.


    When she saw who it was, she froze.


    Kate?


    Without hesitation, she went close and hugged her right.


    ¡°Anita how are you?¡± Kate asked, her face looking dull.


    ¡°I am fine, but how are you?¡± Anita asked her in concern.


    She then led Kate in and locked the door.


    ¡°Have you had dinner? I will cook for you.¡± Kate offered, almost going to the kitchen.


    ¡°No no, no need to. I am fine. I had snacks. Why do you look so dull tonight? Also, you came here by 10pm. Is everything okay?¡± Anita asked.


    She didn¡¯t think something was right with the night¡¯s visit.


    Kate looked at Anita for a while and went to at on the couch as she kept looking at her.


    ¡°Kate, you are different tonight. What is wrong? Tell me. Also, you were away for two days¡­¡±

 I Own You

    Chapter 11: I Own You


    ¡°Everything is fine dear Anita. Let¡¯s go to bed.¡± Kate said, cutting Anita off. She didn¡¯t want to get anita involved in her issues.


    Anita didn¡¯t say much, she just followed her and they went to bed together.


    The next morning, Anita was the first to wake up. After freshening up, she a walled into the kitchen and made breakfast for her and Kate.


    Kate soon woke up exhausted, but didn¡¯t stand up. She justid there exhausted.


    Anita walked into the room, but couldn¡¯t help but wondered what it was that seeded in bothering Kate this bad. She had never seen kate this way before.


    ¡°Do you need me?¡± she asked.


    Kate froze.


    She just realized that Anita had been watching her for sometime.


    ¡°Umm I¡¯m fine dear Anita.¡±


    ¡°Okay. I made breakfast. You shoulde out to eat.¡± Anita said to her and walked away.


    Taking a deep breath, she stood up and walked into the bathroom, freshened up as well and moved to the dinning area.


    Sass Media HouseBelongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Anita sat in her office as she went through what she had on her system. Not long after, someone opened the door and walked in. In shock, she looked up. When she saw who it was, her countenance changed.


    ¡°You are not my boss, neither are you my superior, so next time, ensure you knock before walking into my office. Do you understand?¡± she said to him. Her eyes speaking anger.


    ¡°I am sorry, but I am not sorry.¡± Andre said and walked out, shutting the door a bit hard with one hand in his pocket.


    Anita froze.


    She couldn¡¯t get what just happened that moment.


    After what seemed like forever, she continued going through the file on herputer.


    Andre was already so pissed off as he stood outside of Sass Media House. He didn¡¯t know what to do at that moment. ¡°Should I leave?¡± he asked himself.


    He then got into his car and drove off.


    It was already 5pm, but Anita was still working nonstop, unaware of what the time says until her phone rang out, bringing her back to her senses.


    ¡°Hello!¡± she quickly answered, not minding who it was that was on the phone until she heard his voice.


    ¡°You should be off from work. Don¡¯t tell me you are still in that office working off your butt.¡± he voice sounded.


    ¡°Umm.. I am fine. Eh¡­ I will clear up now and continue tomorrow.¡± she said, turning off her system.


    ¡°How about a date night today?¡± he asked.


    ¡°We can have dinner together. I don¡¯t mind.¡± Anita answered, feeling her heartbeat as she replied him.


    ¡°See you soon.¡± he then said and ended the call.


    Anita cleared up he desk and went home immediately to get ready.


    When she got home, she met Kate.


    ¡°Hi Kate!¡±


    ¡°Anita! It¡¯s so good to see you. Oh my gosh you look so stressed. Is everything okay?¡±


    ¡°Everything is cool, meanwhile, it feels good to see you in the right mood.¡± Anita said happily and went in to freshen up.


    ¡°Do you have a date with Thomas?¡± Kate asked as she walked in and found Anita facing the mirror.


    ¡°Yes I am.¡± anita replied and focused on her makeup.


    ¡°I will help you.¡± Kate then took the items from her and proceeded to make her friend look good.


    Antis Restaurant


    ¡°I noticed you loved this ce so much when we came here thest time, so I thought it would be a pleasure to have you see here again.¡± Thomas smiled as he led Anita to her seat where she sat down.


    ¡°You are right Thomas. I really enjoyed here. I¡¯m happy I am here again.¡±


    ¡°Hello Sir! Hello ma¡¯am! What will you like to us to offer you?¡± a young waitress walked up to them and asked.


    ¡°Hi! Just a drink. A soft drink.¡± Anita answered without looking at the menu in front of her.¡±


    ¡°No, don¡¯t worry anita.¡± Thomas said to Anita. Turning to look at the waitress, he picked a few from the menu and asked her to bring it.


    Anita dropped her phone to take a look at Thomas, only to catch him staring at the waitress¡¯ waist as she walked away.


    She froze.


    In confusion, she tried to process what was happening in her presence.


    The waitress had bowed and left, but Thomas didn¡¯t stop staring at her admiringly? What about her then?


    Thomas didn¡¯t even notice the look on Anita¡¯s face. He kept staring at her.


    The waitress returned with the order only to see Thomas having that look on his face.


    ¡°Is there anything else sir?¡± she asked.


    ¡°Umm nothing actually.¡±


    ¡°Okay sir.¡± she said and walked away with Thomas repeating the same thing.


    Anita felt helpless as she kept watching him.


    After what seemed like forever, Thomas came back to his senses only to find Anita staring at him with disappointment.


    *Oh my God! She must have seen me.* he thought. His head was already a mess as he tried to exin himself, but Anita wasn¡¯t in the mood anymore. Standing up she walked out of the restaurant under his watch.


    When she got outside of the restaurant, she boarded a cab immediately and made her way home.


    Anita was in tears as she looked through the streets of New York City. This was her first rtionship in New York City and for the past few days, she had invested feelings in it.


    ¡°How could I do this to myself?¡± she whispered silently.


    *such disrespect, she would never take.*


    Thomas was still sitting on the chair in the restaurant feeling disrespected by Anita.


    ¡°How could she just walk out on me? What makes her thinks she is do important?¡± he said quietly but in anger.


    He then started thinking of how to punish her what his phone rang, interrupting his thought.


    Anita got to her apartment soon, and saw the light on. *Kate must be in.* she thought.


    She then went closer. When she opened her door, she froze in shock.

 He Is Alex

    Chapter 12: He Is Alex


    After some seconds, Anita rushed towards Kate as she hugged her tight.


    ¡°Are you okay Kate? What¡¯s happening here?¡± Anita asked, feeling extra worried about everything.


    Kate couldn¡¯t speak. She only had tears rolling down her eyes as she hugged Anita while crying her heart out.


    ¡°Anita!! Thank goodness you came. I¡¯m so happy you are here. You have no idea what this means to me,¡± Kate said quickly.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± Anita asked, looking up at the young man she found Kate with.


    Alex didn¡¯t answer. He just kept looking at them.


    ¡°Do you know him?¡± Anita asked Kate worriedly.


    Kate nodded her head repeatedly which made Anita a bit relief.


    She had thought he was a stranger. She wondered who he was then to make her best friend who is more like a sister to cry so bitterly.


    ¡°You don¡¯t seem good enough to remain here. Kindly leave.¡± Anita then told him.


    Seeing as Kate was already in safe hands, he dusted his shoes and walked out, jamming the door so hard.


    ¡°What is wrong with him?¡± Anita had never seen someone so silent but crazy.


    ¡°Come with me.¡±


    Anita then dragged Kate into the room and gently helped her sat on the bed.


    ¡°I can¡¯t ce my fingers on what went wrong in the sitting room, but I really hope you go through this and yes, in happiness.¡± Anita said to her girlfriend.


    She herself was not happy because of what had urred on her end, but what could she do now, everyone seem to be going through simr things.


    ¡°He is Alex!¡± as Anita was thinking, she heard Kate speak. Paying more attention, she asked Kate to repeat what said.


    Kate looked up with tears in her eyes. ¡°He is Alex. The guy I told you about.¡± she confirmed.


    Anita was a bit surprised about that.


    She had hoped to see him someday, but not in this way. What kind of rtionship were they in that would make her friend cry so bitterly.


    He definitely went far.


    ¡°All is well Kate! Come to bed dear.¡± Kate didn¡¯t know what to do, so she followed Anita andid on the bed.


    Anita picked up her phone and called Madam Cross.


    ¡°Hello ma¡¯am! I wanted to know if it would be possible to not be present at work tomorrow. There are personal matters that needs to be settled on my end.¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s fine my dear. Just take good care of yourself.¡± Madam cross said calmly as their call ended.


    Anita felt relieved.


    Dropping her phone, she went closer to Kate to speak to her.


    ¡°You meant to say that was your boyfriend?¡± she asked, still shocked as to the reason Kate was in tears.


    ¡°Yes he is. Anita, I think I have to end this rtionship. It¡¯s really eating me up.¡± Kate said to Anita as she sobbed.


    How could a man she holds so dearly to her heart be treating her with such animosity. She did not think she could deal with it anymore. She was fed up.


    ¡°Did he hit you?¡± Anita asked.


    ¡°Yes, and not just today. He did it yesterday and so many other times. I can¡¯t anymore Anita, I am so fed up.¡± Kate said to Anita.


    Anita froze.


    Not just today?


    Was that the reason Kate came to her house not smiling the other day? Oh goodness! Anita thought.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with men of this days. I think you should just walk out. What do you think?¡± Anita asked Kate.


    ¡°I wish to. In fact, if given a chance, I would, but what about all the love we have shared together? It¡¯s not all that easy you know.¡±


    ¡°Kate I know, but, you don¡¯t have to do this. Just be yourself. Someone better woulde your way.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not as easy as you put it. If you ever fall so deeply in love with someone someday, you will understand what it means to be willing to do any for the happiness of the other.¡±


    ¡°But he is not reciprocating the love you are showing him. I don¡¯t see him reciprocating it which is so bad. Too bad for you to put up with.¡± Anita replied, a bit pissed as she remembered what had happened in her date that night.


    ¡°Forget about me Anita. Was your date? Didn¡¯t you see Thomas? You came back quite earlier than you should for a special date.¡±N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    ¡°Hmmm dear friend. I couldn¡¯t believe my sight today. I still do d it hard to believe that I went out with him. For some reasons, I feel like everything is and was not real.¡± Anita started exining everything that happened from the beginning. She spoke about entering the restaurant, the waitress, Thomas¡¯ focus and how she had left in tears only to see her friend in a bad state all because of a man.


    Cleaning her tears, ¡°Anita calm down. It has not gotten to that extent.¡± kate said as she dried her own tears and went ahead to console Anita.


    ¡°Trust me babe. These men are scum. I really don¡¯t want any rtionship with any of them anymore. It hurts to be betrayed by someone who you love and ims to love you.¡± Anita spilled.


    ¡°Hmmm so what do you want to do now?¡± Kate asked.


    ¡°I just want to focus on what brought me here.¡±


    ¡°So, what about the file?¡±


    ¡°What file?¡±


    ¡°The one Thomas gave you.¡±


    Thomas had not left the hotel at that time of the night as he sat there, a bit tired and troubled at the same time.


    His boss had called him immediately Anita left and warned him to be careful of how he flirts with girls and apologize to Anita so as not to ruin their n.


    The thought of his boss following him everywhere pissed him off especially the fact that his boss was almost invincible all the time.


    Anita was getting so difficult to manipte¡­ He had to look for a way to make her submit

 Submit

    Chapter 13: Submit


    Anita had to be manipted. She has to love him, and he was going to make sure of that.


    Anita spent her whole night thinking about what Kate said. She was right.


    She remembered having a deal with Thomas. Her duty was just to make him look good while he makes her number one reporter.


    This was an agreement that was long made before they became a thing. She even if they stop being together, she was sure the agreement still stands. The only way it would no longer stand was if Thomas wanted them to stop with the agreement.


    The next morning.


    Andre had gotten to the office as early as possible and ran straight to Anita to apologize to her better about yesterday. He thought about it well and knew that it was really her fault.


    On getting there, he didn¡¯t her, so he decided to call her from the information thepany had.


    Anita was trying to make breakfast for her and her friend when she heard her phone rang. Hastily, she ran to pick it up. ¡°Hello Thomas, I am so sorry about yesterday. I promise I did not mean to. I got a bit jealous and needed space at that moment.¡± she spat without waiting to hear from the other side.


    Andre froze.


    ¡°Good morning to you too. I saw you aren¡¯t at work today, so I decided to check up on you. I think your absent ispletely none of my business for real.¡± he said and ended the call immediately.


    Andre didn¡¯t know how to react after he ended the call. He became pissed and walked out of thepany. It¡¯s not like like here was important to him anyways.


    Anita never expected the response she got. She was so shocked when she recognized the voice over the phone.


    Andre had called her.


    This was supposed to be a good day to rest, but then, she felt a bit down.


    Staying strong, she continued what she was doing. Soon, breakfast was ready.


    Anita went into her room as she tried to convince Kate to eat.


    As they were eaten, they heard a knock on the door.


    Standing up, Anita made her way to go check who it was.


    On opening the door, she froze.


    Thomas?


    ¡°What are you doing here? There is no assignment to do remember.¡± she said and left him there as she went back to the dinning.


    ¡°I know I am wrong. I should not have disyed such disrespect. I am sorry.¡± Thomas said as he followed her inside.


    Anita had already had enough that morning, so she was not interested in making things easy for Thomas anymore.


    ¡°You had your dinner without mest night. How was it? Like you disrespected me so much than I could ever imagine.¡± Anita wasn¡¯t having it as she mmed him for disrespecting her.


    Thomas almost lost his cool at her words. No woman had ever thought of having the upper hand in all of his rtionship with women, but this little woman is about doing that. If not that he¡¯s being spied on by his boss, he would have given this woman a threat of her life.


    ¡°I am sorry.¡± he managed to say after everything she said.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Anita was surprised at how calm he was. She thought he would not ept that he was wrong.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. I have forgiven you, but I don¡¯t think we can keep a romantic rtionship going. I won¡¯t forget the deal we had. It will continue, but we are no longer a thing.¡±


    ¡°Can you at least give me the opportunity to correct things? I am really sorry.¡±


    ¡°I think you should forgive him. He looks really sorry.¡± Kate said aloud. She felt satisfied the moment he admitted his wrongdoing. If it were to be Alex, she would have gotten a couple of ps already.


    When Anita heard what Kate said, she calmed down and decided to give it another try.


    ¡°Join me for breakfast.¡± Anita invited him and they had good breakfast together.


    After the breakfast, Thomas offered to take them out for fun which they couldn¡¯t deny especially Kate. She loved fun, plus it would help her heal from her current boyfriend.


    ¡ª¨C


    They came home after much fun that day. After Thomas dropped them at their door, he left for his own home.


    Happily they walked inside and started opening all of the gifts Thomas had bought for them at the mall.


    ¡°You should not leave him no matter what. This man loves you like crazy.¡±


    ¡°Hmmm! You think so? I really don¡¯t.¡±


    ¡°Anita, cherish what you have now before it¡¯s toote. If it were to be Alex, he would never do this.¡±


    ¡°I understand. I will have to think about it.¡± Anita then said. They reserved the ones they would and are the ones they had to while watching the television that night.


    They thought that day would be something else, but then it became fun for them.


    On the other side of the town was Andre who reminisced on how life has been since he moved to New York City.


    He wondered how difficult it could be to find a good woman to make his. It was so hard for him. The onlydy he had gotten close to after moving here was Anita and she doesn¡¯t seem to like him.


    He doesn¡¯t really detest her, but at least h respect her. He thought she was single until this morning.


    Ever since he heard her apologized to a man, he had not been himself.


    He wondered who this man was and how he managed to get Anita to be his.


    As he thought, he didn¡¯t realize that Cass was already inside the room with him until he shook his head and turn.


    Andre froze.


    ¡°What are you doing here?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disturb you master, but your people are getting worried and I am getting called repeatedly.¡± Cass exined why he was there.

 Headlines

    Chapter 14: Headlines


    Looking up at his assistant, ¡°Let them know I won¡¯t be in California for three months.¡±


    ¡°Ok Master!¡± he replied and left.


    Anita and Kate couldn¡¯t stop listing that night.


    When Anita decided to call it a day, her phone then rang.


    Looking at who it was, she picked it up immediately.


    ¡°Anita, do not forget to be active tomorrow. There will be an incident. Don¡¯t worry about what it would look like.¡± he said and hung up.


    ¡°Just like that?¡± Anita worriedly said after the call dropped.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Kate asked.


    ¡°Hmmm. I think there is an issue. It will be settled tomorrow though.¡±


    ¡°Is it that dangerous?¡± Kate asked.


    ¡°I have no idea. I hope it¡¯s safe.¡±


    Sass Media House


    Anita walked round the whole office as she wondered what it was that may ur when her phone beeped.


    Rushing to check what it was, she saw that it was a random text.


    Breathing in and out, she brushed back her long hair with her fingers as she went and sat on her office chair.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe myself. I just hope everything goes fine.¡± she said to herself as she brought out her phone to call Andre into her office.


    As soon as Andre entered her office, she received a text from Thomas.


    *Appear at Collins College now*


    ¡°We need to head to Collins College. Call the driver. Hurry!¡± Anita said immediately he came in as she picked up her equipment and ran out.


    Not long after, they appeared at the School, only to not have ess to go in.


    Worried, she tried to knock several times, but the men at the gate were not present to help them out.


    Worried as to how possible it was to not be able to enter such a wide gate.


    Thankfully, the fence was pretty short, so she could see everything that was in the schoolpound.


    ¡°We will have to wait here Andre.¡± she said to him.¡±


    ¡°But why? Madam Cross did not instruct us to be here. You can keep acting on impulse okay.¡± he said, sounding a bit harsh.


    ¡°This is not me being impulsive. I am acting uponmand. It¡¯s for our own good.¡± Anita said and focused. She didn¡¯t seem like she wanted to argue.


    Andre remained calm as he watched cautiously.


    Not long after, he heard some soundsing from the opposite end of thepound.


    ¡°Be careful Anita!¡± he warned as he brought out his camera to do his job.


    ¡°Yes sure!¡± she replied as she held his other arm.


    Andre froze.


    She held his arm?


    When anita realized how close she was to Andre, she quickly retrieved her arm and focused on the scene in front of her in hopes that it won¡¯t be as dangerous as thest one.


    Two masked guys were running in as four police men ran after them. Among them was Thomas.


    They had tried to take away the school¡¯s resources when a teacher caught them and acted fast by rming the police.


    Anita and Andre focused on the scene as Andre made sure he caught everything on camera.


    As they ran, Thomas surpassed all other police men as he jumped so high, and knocked them down by himself.


    The other police men got to where they were at and started locking their hands with handcuffs. After that, they took them away.


    Anita walked up to Thomas as she smiled with a hand ced on her chest.


    ¡°Sir Thomas! You were so smart and quick to catch those thugs. How were you able to go that fast. Faster than even the criminals.¡± she asked.


    ¡°I have a special connection to my job. As long as it involves the lives and well-being of the citizens, I don¡¯t mind running a million miles.¡±


    ¡°Wow officer Thomas! You have managed to change the public¡¯s image of the police. Now, I believe everyone can think highly of our Police Force.¡±


    ¡ª


    ¡°Was that necessary? I mean what he did can be done my thousands of people. Why didn¡¯t you question the other police men?¡± Andre asked Anita when they got back to the office.


    ¡°I was only doing my job as a reporter. We went there, took evidence and we have reported them to Sass Media House. What else were you expecting?¡± Anita asked as she wondered why he was questioning her.


    ¡°We are not the only reporter, go check the headline in some hours, you will find the media talking about you and him. This is attention and it is so unnecessary.¡±


    ¡°Andre just do your job. Stop the unnecessary nagging.¡±


    ¡°I am not nagging. I need you to look into my eyes and tell me you have no idea that such an incident would ur.¡±


    Anita froze.


    Why was he being so dramatic? She couldn¡¯t understand.This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°How do you manage to get such information even before the incident would ur. If you are so concerned about the citizens, you would do all you can to stop it instead of waiting for it to ur just so you can get pictures and videos, write a statement and then report about it.¡± Andre continued.


    ¡°Listen Andre¡­¡± Anita opened her mouth to speak, but before she could finish her statement, Madam Cross walked in and met them in a discussion.


    Looking satisfied, she walked in and waved at them.


    ¡°Good day ma¡¯am!¡± Anita greeted and moved aside.


    ¡°Good day Madam Cross.¡± Andre greeted and tried to walk away when she stopped him.


    ¡°Why are you leaving? No, please don¡¯t leave. I will be leaving you both soon to discuss on your own.¡± turning to look at Anita, ¡°I see you Anita! Good job! I appreciate your determination and hard work. I acknowledge you too Andre. Keep it up you both.¡± she said and walked away.


    Andre could not believe his ears. Did she just thank them? For what exactly.


    It felt like the things happening these days were not information from thepany. Where else then?¡± he asked himself.

 Can鈥檛 Do That Anymore

    Chapter 15: Can¡¯t Do That Anymore


    ¡°Have you ever been honest with me?¡± he asked after Madam Cross left them.


    ¡°Do I owe you any sort of honesty?¡± Anita replied him.


    ¡°Are you ying the industry¡¯s dirty game?¡± he asked again, this time, infuriating Anita.


    ¡°I want you out of my office. Right now!¡± she said in form of an order.


    ¡°Is that a request or an order?¡± he asked her as he frowned his eyebrows.


    Pointing her left hand towards her door, ¡°It¡¯s an order. Get out!¡±


    Pissed, he rushed to her and grabbed her by the arm as he put down her arm and had her sit on the chair close by.


    ¡°I am Andre, not your personal assistant. Let this be thest time you walk me out in that manner.¡± he spat word for word and walked out of the office, mming the door real hard.


    Anita went quiet for minutes as she recalled his angry expression over and over again.


    She felt tired. Standing up, she cleared her desk and decided to call it a day at the office. She had gotten enough for the day.


    When she got home, she didn¡¯t meet anyone at her house. Entering inside with her spare key, she walked into the house feeling exhausted as she sat on her couch in the sitting room.


    Anita didn¡¯t know what to make of everything that had happened. From the incident to Andre¡¯s questions followed by the warning from him.


    But what did he meant by asking her if she was ying the industry¡¯s dirty games?


    She was only doing her job and working alongside Officer Thomas. How was that dirty?


    Picking up her phone from her bag, she called Kate but she did not pick up.


    She called again and up to four times, but Kate didn¡¯t pick up.


    She then assumed that Kate must have something important to deal with.


    Soon, she fell asleep in the sitting room due to exhaustion.


    At the other side, Andre had already gotten to his house as he roamed about his leaving room, feeling insulted by Anita.


    He had always tried to make her see that he care and could do more, but he kept giving her the cold shoulders and did not think he could handle it anymore.


    About her missions which seemed so suspicious, he has always thought of Anita as an innocent youngdy. He knew that if there was anything going wrong behind the scenes, then it means that she was being used. She is so young and naive. He just hoped that nothing would go wrong with her.


    But then again, she was not giving him any chance to be a man he was around her. She thought so lowly of his abilities and for some reasons, he wished to prove her wrong. He would have to meet with Madam Cross first thing the next Monday since it was going to be weekend the next day and there was no duty for them.


    ¡ª


    Kate tried to visit her house after a few days of having issues with her Alex. She was already tired and was willing to be with him even if it required that she begged for forgiveness.


    When she got to her door, she noticed that it was not locked and it looked someone was indoor.


    Holding her chest worried about what will happen, she walked in.This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Looking into her house, she froze at her sight.


    After what seemed like forever, Kate had no choice but to scream in tears and disappointment.


    ¡°Alex!! What are you doing?¡± she screamed as tears flooded her eyes.


    Alex jumped up from the chair as thedy on top of him shrieked in shock, falling at the same time.


    ¡°Oh my God! Alex, what on earth did I do to deserve this from you? What on earth?¡± she wailed.


    Alex wasn¡¯t having it. He had not expected her to return. Not at this time when he was enjoying himself with another girl.


    Bang!


    He took up a stool and trashed it on the floor, causing both girls to jump in shock, but Kate had already had enough of all the insults and betrayal as she charged up in anger.


    ¡°Who are you and what on earth are you doing with my mam in my house?¡± she asked as she approached thedy.


    Thedy never expected any of the drama that had unfolded. Picking up her belongings, she hurriedly dressed up and ran out of the building.


    Kate then closed the door and faced Alex.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care about who you are and what you think you can do to me, but right now, I want you out of my house.¡± she said firmly. Even though tears were all over her face, her voice showed Alex just how serious she was being.


    Alex tried to be mean towards her, but one look from her, he could see that the Kate he knew had switched to something he couldn¡¯t recognize.


    ¡°I can leave your fucking life if you want me to, but don¡¯t try to drag it with me. I need to be dressed and also pack my belongings to¡­.¡±


    ¡°Shut the fuck up and get your ass out of my house Alex..¡± she screamed at him.


    ¡°Kate I can exin¡­¡±


    ¡°There is nothing to exin Alex. I have never wronged you. All I have ever done was to love you while you treated me like trash. No matter how you treated me, I still took it upon myself to forgive you since that was your only weakness. But you see this, I will never ept. It¡¯s no wonder you were doing all you were doing. You were beating me up because you didn¡¯t think I was worth loving. You wanted me dead so you can rece me in a second. I bet you didn¡¯t know I would be making an appearance here today. I feel so disgusted by you. You are such a shame. Get out of my house¡­¡±

 In search

    Chapter 16: In search


    Alex didn¡¯t know how to react anymore as what he was seeing at that moment was a different Kate. If someone had told him that his evil will end of giving him a p on his face, he wouldn¡¯t have believed it. Kate already had all his belongings thrown outside, so in shame he left the house feeling defeated.


    Even has he was gone, Kate was never having it. At the sound of her main door being shot, she fell on the floor as the whole ce became silent.


    Kate had never been a girl that cries often, but this condition had left her with no option.


    She remained on the floor as she tried to hold in her anger and pain, but the more she tried to hold in her pain, the more it threatened toe out. Kate used her long finger nails as a weapon to ease her pain as she scratched it deep into her rug.


    ¡°Why me?¡± she asked herself silently, but it was so deep. After what seemed like forever, she busted into tears.


    Tears gushed out of her eyes like never before.


    Alex was one man she loved the most and she was always ready to give up her identity for her.


    Kate cried so hard as she held her chest while managing her breath. She rolled on the floor as she wailed. The pain was so much for her to bear. Struggling to rise up, Kate headed to the door of her house and shut it right as she retired to her room. She didn¡¯t think the social world was needed anymore.


    Pissed, she med herself. If she had taken note of all the red gs she saw at the beginning of the rtionship, maybe her life would be better.


    But with how her life was going, Kate did not think it was important to fight for love anymore.


    Sitting on the floor of her room, she fell into depression.


    Outside Kate¡¯s world, in the City of New York, the inte was on fire.


    Kate had no idea just how much her girlfriend was growing popr.


    After Sass Media published the incident that urred at school that day, Officer Thomas and Anita became the talk of the City.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Theybelled Thomas ¡°the hero of their time¡± after seeing just how much energy he puts in his job.


    ¡°NEW YORK¡¯S NUMBER ONE FORCE¡±


    ¡°OFFICER THOMAS IS JUST ONE FORCE ONE SHOULD NEVER TOY WITH: WATCH HOW HE SAVED THE NEW YORK CITY¡¯S PEOPLE¡±


    ¡°READ OFFICER THOMAS¡¯S REPLIES TO FAMOUS REPORTER AFTER THE INCIDENT OCCURED¡±


    ¡°NO DOUBT: OFFICER THOMAS IS INDEED THE HERO OF OUR TIMES¡±


    Every citizen in New York was so proud to have someone like him as everyone sang its praises.


    When other mediapanies saw what Sass Media published on their websites and the papers, they quickly rushed to get their own printed copies before it would be an old news.


    That was their way. Ever since Sass Media House employed and Andre, their status had increased which made the other mediapanies to wonder what it was that they were missing as they discovered that somehow from the past few weeks, Sass Media House had been topping everypany in this state including the top three that were present and active.


    Anyone who opened the tabloid would have to greet with their eyes the pictures of Anita and Officer Thomas.


    Everyone sang their praises as theymented on every post of them that they saw on social media.


    Commenter 1: ¡°Officer Thomas is one of a kind. Luke who would not love him. I literally do love him.¡±


    Commenter 2: ¡°Oh my gosh! He so brave. I think I am crushing on him.¡±


    Commenter 3: ¡°Howe no one is talking about how smart and bold Anita is. Can you see how smart she asked her questions? Like he had no choice but to respond.¡±


    Commenter 4: ¡°I loved the way Andre ran and was able to catch those guys. How hot and sexy he looked.¡±


    Commenter 5: ¡°To be honest, I literally cried while watching the clips of how Officer Thomas had managed to save the innocent lives if people out there. We are so graced and blessed to have him in our lives as a part of the force. Now I think he deserves a raise in his sry.¡±


    The inte was mostly about the couple as Sass Media House released the clips of the incidents, skipping the part where it had started.


    The weekend was so good for Thomas, but on the other side in Anita¡¯s life, the weekend wasn¡¯t so bright for her.


    Anita didn¡¯t care about whatever it was that was happening in the inte world. All she care about was how she was feeling.


    She had been in her house all day, trying to reach out to her friend Kate, but to no avail.


    This was unlike who Kate was. Anita was feeling so bad because she realised that she never knew where Kate was living and had never attempted to visit ever since she moved to New York City.


    Tears rolled down her cheeks as she went through the books Late had once brought to her house.


    She checked all through and could not find Kate¡¯s home address.


    Dialing her number again, Anita walked from her bed to her door repeatedly, hoping that Kate picks her calls.


    ¡°Oh my goodness! Please assure me that Kate is fine. I really want to believe that everything is okay on her end, but why do I feel so restless? Why do I feel like nothing is fine?¡± shemented in her room as she rubbed her thick ck long hair.


    After attempting to call a couple if times, Anita got fed up and sat down on her bed looking frustrated.


    Looking at her clock, it was 8pm already.


    ¡°She should be in bed.¡± Anita muttered and dropped her phone to go bed, but the moment sheid her head on her bed, her phone rang¡­

 Unexpected Call

    Chapter 17: Unexpected Call


    Anita jumped up from her bed with a sense of hope in her. She had thought that the call was from Kate, but on seeing who it was, disappointment washed her face.


    Pissed, she sat on the bed as she massaged her face a bit, took a fresh breath and picked up the phone call.


    ¡°Hello!¡± Thomas voice could be heard from the other end.


    ¡°Hi Thomas!¡± she said, her voice sounding sad.


    ¡°Hey what is wrong with your voice. I expect you to be jumping. Everything is going as nned my little sweetheart. Now get up. I am at your door.¡± he said to her and hung up the phone.


    Anita froze.


    At my door? She thought.


    Standing up, she headed to her door. On getting to her door, she stopped as she thought about how happy she would be knowing that her girlfriend was with her. She did not even know how she was fairing. If she has eaten? If she was happy or whether she was asleep.


    It was so unfortunate.


    Something then came into Anita¡¯s mind. Happy, she took a deep breath and opened the door.


    ¡°Uh! I am so sorry I opened the doorte. I was um¡­¡±


    ¡°Nevermind Anita. You don¡¯t have to exin. Let¡¯s go have our dinner. I am sure you have not eaten this night. Come on let¡¯s leave here.¡±


    ¡°No Thomas, I really don¡¯t want to plus I am not well dressed. Look at me. I am on Pyjamas.¡±


    ¡°Okay have yourself dressed on a cool simple gown. I just want to take you out. Please Anita.¡±


    Anita didn¡¯t want to be that girl a guy would be begging for just a simple date. Helpless, she walked into her room, put on a white dress and walked out.


    ¡°You look stunning.¡± Thomas praised her as he admired her figure with an expression that spelt WOW


    ¡°Thank you!¡± anita blushed and followed him out. Together, they stopped and entered a restaurant that was not too far from where Anita was living in.


    ¡°Sit down.¡± Thomas said to Anita as he brought out a chair for her like a gentleman.


    ¡°Thank you!¡± Anita said and sat down. She was already feeling numb where she was.


    Soon, a male waiter appeared with the menu and handed it to anita, but she didn¡¯t see it, because she was so absent minded.


    Thomas noticed it and grabbed the menu from the waiter. He picked some expensive foods he knew Anita would love and handed it back to the waiter before focusing on Anita.


    ¡°What are you not telling me Anita?¡± he asked her and he shook her hand.


    Stunned, Anita looked up, only for her to realise that she was making Thomas feel ignored.


    ¡°What is the matter?¡± Thomas asked again.


    Trying her best not to cry, Anita opened up to him.


    ¡°My friend.¡±


    ¡°Your friend?¡±


    ¡°Yes Thomas. My best friend.¡±


    ¡°What happened to your best friend?¡±


    ¡°Kate! I can¡¯t find her. It has been a long time I saw herst. Kate would never. stay a day without hearing my voice. She visits me during the weekends. But these days, she just went mute. I refuse to believe that something us wrong with my friend. Thomas can you please help me? You are a police man and my man. Please help me! I want to be sure that Kate is fine.¡± she said as she held her belly to control her pain.


    She found herself crying these period. It can¡¯t be that all was well. At least, she didn¡¯t feel that.


    Thomas felt like standing up to leave instantly, but he had to control himself. Like what the what did thisdy think he was to interrupt his dinner in such a manner.


    He really wanted to shun her, but he couldn¡¯t. He was on a mission to use her and it was really working for him so he couldn¡¯t mess things up. It was so hard to find someone who could be so manipted in an innocent way.This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    He cracked his head as he thought of what to say to her at that point.


    There was no way he was ready to leave his dream for a mere citizen all in the name of love that was not in existence.


    ¡°is that why you are crying? Come on it¡¯s not worth it. She didn¡¯t call you because she didn¡¯t think it was important to do so. You don¡¯t have to feel so bad over someone who may not even give a fuck about you. Forget her for now. When she remembers you, I am sure she woulde back. And yes, this is a safe city, what could possibly go wrong with an adult?¡± he managed to say as he started at her.


    Anita froze at his words.


    Not give a fuck about me?


    What was Thomas trying to say? She couldn¡¯t process it.


    Maybe it was a bad idea to even bring it up in his presence.


    Gathering her emotions and putting it in check, Anita wiped the tears that were already visible on her face as she focused on the foods that were already served on the table.


    Thomas looked at her as he smiled.


    Little fool! He said within himself.


    Anita struggled with eating that evening as she tried her best to ensure that she finished whatever it was that was served because she didn¡¯t want Thomas to be sad.


    Soon, they were done, so Thomas drove her back to her home.


    By the time Anita finally went to sleep, it was already 11pm.


    That night, in Anita¡¯s dream, Anita spotted Kate vomiting blood in her own sitting room.


    Kate wasn¡¯t talking and no matter how many times Anita screamed her name in that dream, Kate was only spitting blood. Anita ran like a mad woman inside her own house as she tried to get some cleaning equipment to clean the blood stains that was all over the floor. But when she returned with the equipment, she couldn¡¯t find Kate nor the blood stains.

 Tension

    Chapter 18: Tension


    ¡°Oh My God! Kate where are you?¡± Anita screamed in her dream as she went in search of Kate all over her house.


    Fear gripped her, causing her to scream so loud.


    It was at the process of screaming that Anita woke up the next morning. She was soaked with sweat as she gripped her self and the bedsheets around her. Goosebumps was her as she thought about the dream she just had.


    ¡°No this was a nightmare. This was a fucking nightmare.¡± she caused under her breath as she poured out her heart and started crying.


    ¡°Kate where on earth are you right now. Pleasee close or even text me.¡± she said as she sat helplessly on her bed.


    Who was going to help her?


    Kate was everything to her here in New York City and nothing was ever going to rece her.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    She then remembered Thomas response to her about Kate the previous night and thought if it as a bad idea to discuss same issue with him again.


    Anita opened her phone and all she could see was the headlines about she and Thomas, but how was that important?


    Weeks passed by and Anita still was not able to find out where her friend was. At that point, Anita had no more hopes, but still prayed that Kate would be well wherever she was.


    During the past few weeks, Andre had been watching Anita as they performed their duties. For the past few weeks, they have been doing the daily jobs that were normal for reporters and there was no much drama. That alone made Andre relieved a bit.


    He has tried to talk to Madam Cross earlier, but seeing how things was going round thepany, he didn¡¯t think there was any need to. Aside the peaceful jobs, there was something else that bothered him and that was Anita¡¯s facial expression recently.


    Keeping a dull face has never been a part of Anita ever since he knew her, so seeing her like that, he knew that all was not well.


    After the day¡¯s work that day, he walked to her office to check up on her before leaving and noticed that she was on her desk, with her face down.


    She must be sleeping. He thought seeing as she didn¡¯t made any move as he walked in.


    As he about to walk out, he heard some sounds like that of someone who was in tears.


    Andre froze.


    Impossible!


    He thought to himself.


    Immediately, he rushed to her to know what was wrong, but Anita didn¡¯t raise her head.


    ¡°Anita! What is wrong? Talk to me.¡± he said to her.


    Anita couldn¡¯t speak. She just kept sobbing.


    ¡°Anita please talk to me. I don¡¯t want you crying. At least not here. But tell me what is wrong, so that I can handle it.¡± he said to her, his voice shaking a bit, even though he tried to control it.


    After spending some minutes there, Anita managed to raise her head, a bit shy at her condition, but it was not her fault, so she couldn¡¯t me herself for it.


    ¡°I am fine.¡± she managed to say, though a bit surprised that Andre would care about her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you are fine when you are not. Stand up!¡± he told her and helped her up.


    Anita stood up as he said. Andre took out a handkerchief and cleaned her tears. He then picked up her bag and held her as they left the office.


    Outside the office, Madam Cross was just returning from a meeting when she spotted the coupleing close.


    She was stunned.


    Aftering back to her senses, she walked faster to Anita and hugged her tight seeing how down she was looking.


    ¡°You are such a saviour Andre. I admire your kindness. Please take good care if her. You both can have off for the rest of the week and resume stronger again. Have a great time ahead dear Anita.¡± Madam Cross said to them and let Andre take her away.


    The couple couldn¡¯t believe what they just heard. They expected her to be extremely angry for breaking the rules if herpany. Because ording to the contract they read before signing, there was a part that said that workers of the opposite sex was not allowed to be extra close in the organization regardless of whatever it was that was happening and that was the main reason Anita tried to be very far away from Andre no matter how much she wanted to be so close to him.


    ¡°I should go home from here. Thank you Andre.¡± Anita expressed gratitude when they finally left thepany.


    She did not want to buy the idea of Andre taking her home, but Andre himself was not willing to let her be all by herself in her depressing state.


    ¡°I am going to be fine Andre.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t care, but until I see you smile and genuinely, I have no intention of leaving you behind.¡± Andre said and took her straight to the simple car Cass had prepared for him.


    Anita a bit surprised at the idea of Andre owning a moderate car. Looking at the model, it was quite expensive, so how did he manage to be under her as an assistant.


    Despite her curiosity, she doesn¡¯t speak it was necessary to ask questions then. All she wanted was to get home and with no drama.


    Andre noticed the look on her face and gave a satisfactory smile.


    If only she knew! He thought as he ced Anita¡¯s head on hisp and shook his head.


    Anita was already feeling like a baby to Andre as she fell so asleep.


    ¡°Oh my gosh! This girl is so cute.¡± He secretly said.


    After a few minutes, they got to Anita¡¯s apartment, and Andre princess carried her inside under some watch.


    Not up to two minutester, Thomas phone started ringing at where he was. He was so busy in the police station that it took him some time to be able to respond to these phones call.

 He Could Not Believe

    Chapter 19: He Could Not Believe


    ¡°Where are you fool?¡± a deep voice sounded over the phone.


    Thomas froze. What¡¯s going on?


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Hope I am safe.¡±


    ¡°You are not Thomas. Where is Anita?¡±


    ¡°Anita?¡± he asked back, rubbing his head. He was not ready for such a conversation.


    ¡°Where else? She should be at her working ce. I¡¯m not going to be walking around her like a puppet right?¡±


    ¡°Shut up! Call her now and check up on her. Something doesn¡¯t seem right.¡±


    ¡°Since you know what is wrong? Why don¡¯t you tell me?¡±


    ¡°Since you want to know, I will tell you. She is in the hands of another man. You better be careful, so as not to lose her.¡± the man said and ended the call, leaving Thomas in unexinable emotions.


    Thomas didn¡¯t care about what was on desk anymore. Picking up his car key, he stood up and walked out of his office.


    ¡°Hello Sir! Why are you leaving so early?¡± his co team asked him worriedly.


    ¡°I am fine Jude. I will be backter don¡¯t worry.¡±


    ¡°I know you will be fine, but¡­¡± jude said as he stretched his hand towards the exit door.


    Thomas didn¡¯t even bother to hear him out.


    Taking a deep breath, he chooses to remain silent and got back to work.


    Not up to thirty minutester, Thomas car pulled up at Anita¡¯s apartment. He sat in the car for sometime as he thought about what he heard.


    He didn¡¯t think it was something so possible. Even though he wasn¡¯t so interested in Anita, he knew Anita was a faithful kind of girl.


    His only issue was for Anita not to get too close to another man, because it could easily ruin his master n.


    Stepping down from the vehicle, he walked towards the door and started knocking.


    KNOCK! KNOCK!! KNOCK!!!


    Anita stood up in shock when she heard a knock on her door.


    Even Andre had to look towards the door and to Anita at the same time.


    ¡°Were you expecting anyone?¡± he asked her, on seeing her reaction.


    Ever since he took her into her house and ced her on her couch, she had not responded to him even though he kept asking her.


    He wondered what was it that could eat Anita so bad, but seeing her reaction to his knock, he could tell that she was indeed expecting someone.


    ¡°I will get the door.¡± he said and stood up while Anita watched him with gratitude in her eyes.


    Andre opened the door and froze on the spot.


    A man?


    What was a guy doing there? The thought went through his mind.


    Thomas was not having it the moment he saw Andre, so before anything, he threw out a heavy punch, but due to how smart Andre was, he was able to catch Thomas¡¯ first mid air.


    Anita froze in shock.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Were they about to fight? She thought and stood up immediately.


    ¡°What the fuck are you doing with my woman?¡± Thomas asked, boiling in anger.


    ¡°Howe you are fighting me over a woman you don¡¯t value?¡± Andre asked unfazed. If this was the man in Anita¡¯s life, then she would have to rethink.


    Thomas froze.


    He was not expecting that response.


    Who was this man? He thought.


    ¡°Since she is your woman, I should leave her for you to take care of. That¡¯s if you can actually do that.¡± turning to face Anita, ¡°if this is the man in your life currently, do have a rethink.¡± he said and walked past Thomas effortlessly with one hand in his pocket.


    Thomas had no idea what to do, so he just watched him leave.


    After what seemed like forever in that silent space, he came back to his senses and walked into the house.


    Looking Anita from head to toe, he sat down and kept a straight face.


    Anita couldn¡¯t hide the disappointment on her face as she expressed her dissatisfaction.


    ¡°Thomas, you shouldn¡¯t have fought him. You can¡¯t just go ahead and start fighting any man you see around me without confirming his intentions.¡± he started in annoyance.


    Thomas face worsened.


    Was she trying to defend him?


    Standing up, he walked towards her. ¡°I except you to be apologizing to me for that misconduct. Why were you with a man all alone in this house? Don¡¯t you have any dignity or even an atom of respect for yourself?¡± he asked, raising his voice a bit.


    Anita became dumbfounded at his approach. Why was he picking offense? Andre was only there to help and nothing more.


    ¡°Thomas he was only here to help. He is not such a person, besides, you were not there when I was down, but he was. I want you to invite him over and apologize for misunderstanding him.¡± she demanded, shocking Thomas.


    Thomas stood there, not knowing what else to do. He was already so pissed and has to watch his temper, else he might end up ruining things for himself.


    Why would she ask him to apologize? On what? How important did she think she was to him?


    Rolling his car key in his fingers, he made his way towards the door.


    ¡°Thomas I need you now. Why are you leaving? The first moments you walked into this house, you met me with my friend, kate. Why are you not asking about her even after I told you that she is missing. It¡¯s been weeks and I have not been at peace. Why can¡¯t you help me? You said you love me¡­¡±


    ¡°Enough Anita. There are more things to worry about. Like work and our reputation. Aren¡¯t you seeing that we are making waves? That was what we wanted. So forget about another adult.¡± he stopped and said to her.


    ¡°How could you say that to me Thomas? You are so unbelievable. Maybe this was a mistake. I shouldn¡¯t have agreed to be in a rtionship with you¡­¡±


    ¡°How dare you! Shut up!¡± he screamed.


    Anita froze.

 Painful Date

    Chapter 20: Painful Date


    After sometime, he realised that he had gone too far.


    Worried as to what to do to make things better, he turned and walked towards her.


    ¡°I am sorry dear. Let¡¯s go out. I will make you happy today. Cone on!¡± he said as he walked towards her.


    ¡°I am sorry, but I can¡¯t. Not when I can¡¯t find my friend. I want Kate. I miss her. Why can¡¯t you hear me Thomas. If you love me and want me happy, do what makes me happy.¡± she said and sat down on her chair, folding her arms.


    Thomas wasn¡¯t ready for her, so he dragged her by her arm and took her outside.


    ¡°Let go of me. I am not interested in any date. You can¡¯t force me to go on a date with you.¡± she said repeatedly, but she was already in his car. Bending her head, tears poured out of her eyes.


    Thomas drove round New York City with no intention of stopping till she was done crying.


    When Anita noticed it, she stooped crying and dried up all her tears. Looking at the mirror in the car, she already noticed her eyes were so red.


    Thomas was already fed up of waiting on her to finish crying.


    Stooping the car, he took a deep breath and looked at her.


    ¡°Why do you think I don¡¯t care Anita?¡± he asked her.


    She didn¡¯t respond.


    ¡°Hmmm! Since it¡¯s what you want, I will file aint about your friend once I get to the office tomorrow morning. Is that okay?¡± he asked.


    Anita became stunned.


    What did he just say? He would help her look for Kate?


    ¡°Will you help me look for Kate? You will find my friend?¡± she asked, already getting excited.


    ¡°Yes. I will find her and I will bring her to you.¡± he said to her.


    ¡°Oh my God! Thank you so much Thomas. You are the best.¡± she said and hugged him tight.


    ¡°Can we go now?¡± he asked her.


    ¡°Of course we can.¡± she replied happily cleaning her tears as she jubted on her seat.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    After the date, Thomas drove her home and left her to rush back to the office.


    At the other side, on Kate¡¯s end, Kate was not surprised that Anita had not been able to make an appearance in her house even though she understood how worried she must be feeling.


    Kate just never wanted to step out of her house.


    She wanted to cry her heart out because only she knew how much she endured in the hands of Alex before the separation.


    She had been indoor for weeks, reflecting on herself.


    She would keep herself busy indoor, cleaning items that needed to be cleaned. Sometimes, she would scatter things and then proceed to arrange them back.


    She just never wanted the world to see how miserable she looked.


    She was already feeling better and was grateful to the universe for seeing her through those hard times.


    There was a time within those weeks that she had wanted to forget about everything and return back to Alex, but another thing in her kept reminding her of how special she was and how deserved something more satisfying.


    Grateful that she was feeling better, she stood up from the living area where she was watching movie and proceeded to the kitchen to make food for herself to eat.


    After cooking, she served herself on the dinning table and started eating.


    For some reasons, she felt a newfound strength in her.


    What was that about? She asked herself.


    She was so proud of herself. She never believed she could be this strong to go through this on her own.


    Kate had suicidal thoughts, but during that process, she had to remind herself of her valuable she was.


    She knew he was not worth the fight.


    By the time she was done eating, Kate took it upon her self to move on as she took off all her clothes and stepped into the bathroom to have like an evesting bath.


    Kate was under the shower for almost one hour as she recited positive affirmations.


    After having her shower, she took care of her skin and wore her best clothes.


    Stepping out of her house for the first time in weeks, Kate smiled, adjusted her eye ss and started her journey.


    It was already 7:30pm by the time Anita called it a day. Climbing onto her bed, she took out her phone and went online to see what it was that she had missed when she heard a knock on the sitting room door.


    What could Andre possibly be doing in her house by this time of the day? She thought.


    She understood that he was of help to her when she needed it the most, and she knew it was wrong of Thomas to want to pick up a fight with him after his help, but that did ran he cane knocking on her door whenever he wanted. Anita thought. She wanted to ignore, but what was the point.


    She then decided to open it and use the same measure to remind him of his ce.


    On getting to her four, she contemted on if she should actually open the door.


    After some thought, she blindly pushed the door open.


    Opening her eyes to give him a warning, she froze.


    After sometime, she got back to her senses and her next reaction was to run away.


    Seeing this reaction, Kate didn¡¯t know what to do but to startughing out loud.


    ¡°What is your problem? Oh my gosh! Anita!¡± she said and pushed the door open as she walked in.


    Anita was still in fear as she walked around her sitting room, watching Kate¡¯s movement carefully.


    ¡°Now this is no longer funny. What¡¯s going on with you Anita?¡± she asked, pretending to be a bit upset about Anita¡¯s reaction.


    Standing up, she then walked towards Anita and hugged her tightly.


    On feeling her touch, Anita broke down in tears.

 United

    Chapter 21: United


    ¡°Don¡¯t cry baby girl!¡± Kate consoled Anita as she hugged her. She could understand how Anita was feeling at the moment.


    After some minutes, Anita backed out from the hug as she looked at her friend from head to toe.


    ¡°Are you okay dear. Where on earth have you been? You have no idea how worried I have been because of you.¡± she said as she tried to force herself not to cry.


    ¡°It hasn¡¯t been easy, but all is well. God is good.¡± Kate replied.


    Anita then held Kate and took her to the dinner.


    ¡°Sit here. I will make you something real quick.¡± Anita said and walked into the kitchen.


    In less than seven minutes, Anita appeared will some dishes.


    ¡°You should eat something before we retire to bed. You look skinny and I am not happy about it.¡± she said as she led Kate to eat.


    Kate froze when she heard it.


    Was her breakup showing all over her? Anyways, it was expected, considering how she had starved herself for a few days over someone who wasn¡¯t worth it.


    After eating, they went into the room andid on their bed.


    Anita wanted to ask Kate some questions, but she didn¡¯t know if that was the right time. At the thought of that, she then decided to let them be.


    As theyid on the bed, Kate looked at Anita¡¯s expression and wondered what it was that was going through her head.


    ¡°What is wrong Anita? You know you can ask me questions if you want to.¡± Kate said to her like knowing what was on her mind.


    Anita was stunned.


    How did she know if she wanted to ask some questions?


    ¡°I searched for you Kate. I walked round my house and scattered so many files just to see if I could at least find your address. I tried your line several times, but you didn¡¯t pick up. Where were you all those while and why did you choose to punish me so bad?¡± Anita spilled, almost breaking down in tears.


    Kate was touched. She knew how hard it has hit Anita.


    ¡°I am so sorry Anita. I really understand what it is that you are going through. But did you ever think that not reaching out to you and making you worried was my fault?¡±


    ¡°No! Not at all. Why would you think like that? I really never thought of it that way. Instead, I was worried about your safety.¡±


    ¡°Thest time I left your apartment to mine, I walked into Alex who was having sex with another woman inside my house, right on my couch.¡± Kate spilled.


    Anita froze.


    Sitting up from her bed, she looked into Kate¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°You mean Alex? With another woman?¡±


    ¡°Yes Anita. So I chased them out and called it a quit with Alex. I have never really been against him having fun with other girls, but bringing ady inside the house was something I knew I could not take. So, after chasing them out, I decided to take a break from remaining indoor to address my life. Which I did actually. I am grateful to God for the strength toe out of this and I am grateful to God for giving my a friend like you. You are one in a million Anita. You don¡¯t need to worry about too much. I am an adult, and I have been living here for long. Even though I choose to walk all over this City, I will not get lost. I knew you were probably in search of me, but I didn¡¯t think I was ready to face anybody, because I had almost lost myself.¡± Kate said to Anita.


    Anita had been dumbfounded for a while.


    How could Alex do that to her. She knew how much Kate valued him while they were still together.


    ¡°All will be well dear. I am happy that you are safe and sound.¡± she said and went closer to her for a hug. ¡°I also think you need to let me know where you live to avoid me being worried some other time even though I pray not to encounter this again.¡±


    ¡°I will. Let¡¯s go to bed.¡±


    What greeted Anita¡¯s eyes the next morning was Andre. She heard a knock that morning and decided to go open the door.


    ¡°What are you doing here by this time of the day. It¡¯s still so early and I am still on the bed.¡± she said to him, not letting him in.


    ¡°I am sorry I just came to check up on you. You look bright this morning. Seems like everything is settled in your end.¡±


    ¡°Yes, ummm pardon my manner. Pleasee in.¡± she said when she realized she was preventing him froming into her house.


    Andre smiled.


    He then went in and sat down on her simple white couch as he looked around her apartment.


    ¡°Who is there Anita?¡± Kate asked, cleaning her face as she made her way into the living room.


    When she saw who it was in the sitting room, she froze.


    This man!


    She had seen him somewhere in a couple of times. She thought as she tried to figure out where and when.


    Oh!This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    She got it!


    She knew who it was. Sass Media House


    She had met him more than once at the ce where Anita was working in.


    ¡°Hi!¡± she said and walked closer to him.


    Andre didn¡¯t expect anyone. When he lifted his head, he was surprised.


    He was here the other day, but didn¡¯t see Kate. Where has she been all these while?


    ¡°Hello!¡± he replied her and started watching his phone.


    ¡°Seems like my girlfriend now likes to see you. From my memories, I think she hated to see you around.¡±


    ¡°She still hates me. But soon, she will like me and epts me fully.¡±


    Anita froze.


    She still hates me?


    What did he mean?


    Clearing her throat, ¡°ummm I think I need to take my goddamn lips out of this conversation.¡± Kate said and ran inside to freshen up.

 Another Date

    Chapter 22: Another Date


    ¡°What do you mean by I still hate you? I don¡¯t hate you and I never did.¡± she said to Andre, defending herself.


    ¡°Maybe it was just my imagination, but you never gave me the opportunity go stand close to you.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean? You stand close to me every day.¡±


    ¡°But that is only when we are on duty.¡±


    Tapping her head, she walked into the kitchen.


    After setting up some items, she then remembered that she wasn¡¯t the only ones in the house.


    Coming out of the kitchen, she walked into the sitting room and towards where Andre was seated.


    ¡°What will you like to eat?¡± she asked him.


    ¡°Anything you can make.¡±


    ¡°Andre, I can make anything, just tell me and stop being dramatic.¡± she said to him.


    Andre smirked.


    ¡°I meant to say, I have pretty good taste. If I am allowed to ask, I may request for something you probably do not have in your kitchen.¡±


    Anita became dumbfounded.


    What the hell does he mean?


    ¡°If you are that great, why are you working in Sass Media House? You should be somewhere more unique so as to stand out. In those high media homes, you can unleash your skills which will no doubt earn you bigger amount of money so that you can eat all the foods of high taste.¡± Anita sted him and walked into the kitchen.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to say it that way, because situations do change.¡± he then said as he raised his voice so she could hear him.


    ¡°Situations don¡¯t change until you make a move.¡± she replied from the kitchen.


    Where they were, they ended up smiling.


    Anita then prepared arger amount of food and had them served on the dinning table.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we go for shopping?¡± Kate¡¯s voice was heard.


    In thirty minutes, they were already done with eating when Kate brought up the idea of them going out to shop together.


    In actual fact, she preferred Andre to Thomas.


    What she could not understand was why Anita hated him at first. Anyways, that was not her problem anymore. The fact that he could actually stepped feet in their house already showed that nothing was impossible.


    She just hoped that Anita would be smart enough to see everything that was going on.


    Anita wasn¡¯t having it after Kate came up with her idea.


    She didn¡¯t want that to happen. Even though she no longer resent him, she just hoped they kept their distance.


    To be frank with herself, she never really saw a reason to hate him so much, she just hoped that everything that concerns her life would work ording to God¡¯s n and how she wanted in a very positive way.


    She then thought about what Kate said. Why was she feeling like Kate wanted something to go on between her and Andre?


    But how was that possible? She already had something with Thomas, plus how would Thomas feel hearing or seeing that she would be having an affair with Andre who was her co-worker? She did not think it was fair to so considering the fact that it would not be supported be Sass Media House due to their strict rules. She was not willing to risk her job. Not for him or anything else around her.


    ¡°Anita, are you even hearing me?¡± Kate asked, snapping her fingers. She had been watching Anita. Anita looked like she was already lost.


    ¡°Yes of course, I can hear you.¡± Anita replied as she stood up to leave, but was held back by Andre.


    ¡°Anita wait! Umm actually, Kate has a good idea. You have been sad for the past few days. Now that you are relieved a bit, why don¡¯t we go out and have fun.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡± Anita said.


    ¡°When I say fun, I meant, let¡¯s go for shopping like your friend suggested. It makes sense.¡± Andre said to her.


    ¡°Please Anita, please!¡± Kate said, trying to make her friend ept the innocent offer.


    ¡°In that case, we will go. I will get ready, but who is the bill going to be on?¡± she epted as she jokingly asked.


    ¡°Him!¡± without hesitation, Kate pointed towards Andre.


    Anita was stunned at the sudden reaction.


    ¡°Why will you say that? If he is to pay for the both of our bills, who is going to pay his?¡± Anita defended Andre quickly.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Kate froze at the sudden defense.


    ¡°Why are you defending him all of a sudden? This is so interesting!¡± Kate said and started jumping in excitement. She then left them to prepare.


    ¡°Andre, I really don¡¯t think we should do this.¡± she then told him. How much things were they going to get and how many?


    Andre understood her concerns perfectly so he was calm enough to let her express herself before replying.


    ¡°I will handle it, don¡¯t bother!¡± he told her and walked towards the sitting room to wait for them to get prepared.


    Anita breathed in an out and then went to prepare.


    Inside the room, bothdies looked at each other sneakily.


    They had things to say but didn¡¯t know where they should start from in talking.


    ¡°What if Thomas finds out that I am going out with another man.¡± Anita managed to be the first person to speak up.


    ¡°Who would tell him, besides, we will be three. And, you aren¡¯t doing anything wrong, you are only going on an outing which he, Thomas finds hard to do on a weekend. Don¡¯t even get me started.¡± Kate replied as she stood up to adjust Anita¡¯s long hair.


    ¡°You have no idea Kate. Thest time Thomas saw him here, it almost ended badly.¡± Anita said as she started telling Kate everything that yed out the first time Thomas met Andre in her house.


    ¡°But nothingter happened. You see, he is strong. Come on now, we got this! Come, let¡¯s go have fun!¡± Kate said aloud as she dragged Anita away from the room.

 His Stare

    Chapter 23: His Stare


    ¡°Take it easy Kate, so I won¡¯t trip off.¡± Anita said lightly as her eyes locked with Andre whose eyes couldn¡¯t find its way off her body.


    Staggering a bit, she stood firm and held her friend¡¯s hand tight.


    ¡°Let¡¯s leave.¡± Andre managed to say as he stretched his palm out to her.


    Anita didn¡¯t know what to do but to ce hers on top his palm as he led them out of the house.


    ¡°Kate locked the door herself and ced the key in the house¡¯ lock box as they made their way to Andre¡¯s car in the apartment¡¯s garage.


    ¡°This car looks different from thest one I saw him with.¡± Anita whispered into Kate¡¯s ear before entering into the car. Kate entered after that, then Andre walked into the front car seat and started the car.


    ¡°are youdies cool?¡± he asked them from the rearview mirror.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    ¡°Yes we are okay.¡± they answered him, sounding happily as bothdies started chatting away happily.


    Seeing this, Andre felt satisfied. Seeing a woman look so happy gave him more reasons to never stop treating people good. He then started the engine and drove off.


    At the other side of the estate, sat Thomas in his car who had just drove in not too long ago unknown to them.


    He had seen everything that yed out right in front of him. His heart beat grew. He got prepared to troll them, but was stopped by a phone call.


    ¡°What is it? Don¡¯t tell me I will have to leave them alone.¡± he said to the man across the phone.


    ¡°You have no choice.¡± the deep voice responded and ended the call.


    Hitting the brakes of his car, he bent his head out of frustration.


    At the bustle of the city of New York, Andre stopped his car at the New York City Mall and pulled open the door for thedies toe out.


    ¡°Thank you Andre!¡± they thanked him and went inside.


    ¡°Why are you with a face mask on your face?¡± Anita asked him after noticing him with a face mask on.


    ¡°I¡¯m just trying to avoid issues with your boyfriend. Who knows, he could be around.¡± he said and walked passed her.


    Stopping, Anita became confused.


    Taking a look at the mall that was neatly decorated with rainbow colors, she went back to his words.


    HE COULD BE LURKING AROUND


    Taking a deep breath, she walked faster and ced her arm around Kate¡¯s shoulders.


    ¡°What do you think about Thomas lurking around here?¡± she asked Kate.


    ¡°Why would you think he would be around? Why kind if excuse are you trying toe up with?¡± Kate asked innocently and kept looking around.


    They have not gotten to the spot they fancied.


    Anita moved with her as she picked on the word EXCUSE.


    What kind of excuse could Andre be trying to make and why?


    Shaking her mind off it, she decided to let go of the thought.


    ¡°Anita look!¡± Kate called as she ran to the spot.


    ¡°Kate wait!¡± Anita called out, surprised as to why she was being so excited.


    ¡°Anitae over here! Oh my God! These are super beautiful!¡± Kate screamed in joy. This made Anita to quickly get to where she was.


    ¡°Oh my goodness! How were you able to see this spot of the mall. I couldn¡¯t even dare even if I had worn medicated sses.¡± Anita said as she and Kate then walked into the ce to have a view.


    ¡°Kate do you know, I have always dreamt if having a diamond, but you see, not all dreamse true. I just¡­¡±


    ¡°Your dream cane through.¡±


    A voice interrupted them.


    The girls became stunned. Looking up, they saw Andre making his way towards them. He was still putting in his facemask.


    Confused, they wondered what the hell he was talking about as questioned filled their eyes and he saw it.


    Thinking about what he had just mentioned, Thomas knew he almost exposed himself. Adjusting hisposure and his voice, he decided to adjust things.


    ¡°I meant to say that, I can pay use my life saving to help you bring your dreams to life if you don¡¯t mind. I actually would not mind on my own.¡± he said, his voice changing.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think you should. I mean its just an injury.¡± Anita turned him down immediately.


    ¡°Yes Andre, you don¡¯t have to do that for us. We don¡¯t mind working hard to be able to afford it. Let¡¯s just look around. You can get us some snacks after we have feed our eyes enough.¡± Kate answered him too and the girls went back to admiring the ne and ear rings in the show sses.


    ¡°Oh my gosh! This is beautiful.¡± Anita whispered as she looked at one pair of earrings she found the most attractive at that moment as she lost interest in every other one in the sses.


    Kate also found another simr pair age lives the most out of all as she and Anita fantasized about them.


    ¡°Anita these earrings must be super expensive. I said it, look at the price tag.¡± Kate said a bit loudly.


    ¡°Yes kate. Each of these cost one hundred thousand dors.¡± Anita said as they took onest look at it and decided to make their way out of the room, a bit disappointed that they couldn¡¯t afford what they admired the most, but would Andre let that happen?


    Bring out his card, he signaled thedy guarding the ce and asked her package they pairs of earrings.


    Anita and Kate froze at their spot.


    What was Andre trying to do?


    ¡°Andre, you are a man with future responsibilities. Don¡¯t spend your savings on us. It¡¯s just a diamond pairs of earrings. Nothing to worry about.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pair right? Why are you dying to have it in your life? It simply means its not just a pair of earrings.¡±


    Anita froze.

 Stares

    Chapter 24: Stares


    After everything that urred at the jewelry spot, Kate requested that they visit the cafe fit an afternoon tea, which they did agreed to and walked out of the mall.


    ¡°I will have coffee,¡± Andre said to the waitress.


    ¡°Get me green tea¡±


    ¡°I will have same.¡±


    They had the tea in silence and after that, they made their way to Anita¡¯s apartment.


    Thomas had not left Anita¡¯s apartment, even after sitting there for hours.


    Hearing some sound, he raised his head from the starring and smiled dangerously.


    Raising his fist, he checked the time and came down from the car.


    Anita, Kate and Andre never expected to see Thomas, so on seeing him, Anita and Kate was in shock.


    Only Andre remained calm like he had expected him and didn¡¯t care. That expression are Thomas real deep as he wondered where Andre¡¯s guts wereing from.


    ¡°Oh God! Kate I told you we may meet him. Look now, how do I get out of this situation?¡± Anita whispered very worried about what would be the oue of the situation they were in.


    She felt like she was the one constantly causing issues in her rtionship with Thomas.


    ¡°Anita rx. You didn¡¯t do anything wrong with Andre, plus I went out with you guys, so why on earth would you be bothering yourself?¡±


    ¡°You ain¡¯t understand Kate.¡± Anita responded, her fist shaking.


    Seeing this, Kate hissed and came down from the car, walked to the other passenger door and opened it. She then drew Anita out.


    ¡°Let this be thest time I see you shaking because of a man. He us just a man. A freaking man.¡± she said and closed the car door.


    Andre came down from the car fearlessly and led thedies towards the door where Thomas was already at.


    ¡°Thanking you for taking her out and bringing her home sessfully. I hope you had a great time. But don¡¯t you think it¡¯s time you leave her to spend some freaking time with her own man?¡± Thomas hard tone sounded in the space.


    ¡°Umm Andre. Thanks for today! I think you have to be on your way now.¡± Kate said apologetic.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. I understand.¡± he said, turned back and walked out. Upon reaching his car, he turned back, looked at Anita for sometime before entering his car and left.


    Two hourster inside Anita¡¯s apartment.


    The atmosphere had never being as weird before. Thomas was not interested in giving Anita listening ears as he concentrated in his phone.


    After sometime, he stood up and left, shutting the door real hard.


    Anita and Kate had not expected such hence the shock.


    ¡°But this is not right. Why is he giving you the silent treatment?¡± Kate asked Anita, a but disappointed.


    ¡°Never mind his attitude. I believe that he wille around.¡± Anita surprisingly covered up for him.


    ¡°Hmm no problem. As long as you¡¯re safe, I think we will be cool.¡± Kate responded.


    ¡°What are you going to do about your love life right now Kate?¡± Anita asked. She was worried for her friend. Even though Kate had boldly admitted that she was done, it didn¡¯t mean that she does not feel lonely.


    ¡°Good question Anita. You know, I have been thinking about it for quite sometime. You know how much I hate being alone. I think I have to see someone. But who?¡±


    ¡°Hmm. Let¡¯s think of something.¡±


    ¡°Something like what?¡±


    ¡°A blind date! What kind of men do you want now.¡±


    ¡°I think I want a stronger kind of man. A man that wont cheat on me. A honest one.¡±


    ¡°Nice choice. I will talk to Thomas about it. He is from the force. I¡¯m sure he has many brothers who needs a woman in their life.¡±


    ¡°Oh Anita! Thank you so much my love. I hopes he chooses a better guy for me. If I don¡¯t like the one he chooses, I hope I can get the chance to reject him?¡±


    ¡°Of course Kate! Haha!¡±


    ¡°In that case, I ept. Deal!¡±


    Later that evening, Anita sat in her couch with Kate as they kept listing about their lives when they heard a knick on their door.


    ¡°I wonder who it is.¡± Anita said, and made her way to go open the door.


    ¡°Thomas?¡±


    ¡°Hey!¡± he responded, waving his hand.


    Anita was surprised at how calm he was looking that evening. She never expected to see him at least not at that time.


    ¡°I am fine Thomas. Is everything okay?¡±


    ¡°Won¡¯t you let me in first?¡±


    ¡°Oh I¡¯m sorry. Pleasee in.¡±


    Thomas then walked in and sat down on her couch.


    ¡°Hi!¡± Kate waved at him.


    He responded with his head.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    ¡°This is great. I¡¯m so happy you came.¡± Anita said and rushed to get him a ss of drink.


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    ¡°Umm I think I need to leave now. Anita, do enjoy yourself. I will meet you tomorrow.¡± Kate said as she stood up to leave.


    She didn¡¯t see more to be there. She had chosen to stay that long because she thought that Thomas wouldn¡¯te and she didn¡¯t want Anita to worry about anything. But seeing as he was there already, she had no reason to stay.


    Anita on the other hand was feeling a bit bad. She clearly understood why her girlfriend was leaving, but she too never wished to see Kate looking so lonely. She was leaving her house to no one in particr.


    ¡°I will ensure you get a partner Kate and a good one at that.¡± she promised Kate within herself.


    ¡°Have a great night Kate!¡± Anita wished her and hugged her tight.


    Kate then walked out.


    ¡°You should prepare. We will eat out for dinner.¡± Thomas voice sounded.


    ¡°Okay I will. Give me sometime.


    Kate entered a cab that drove her so quick to her apartment. On reaching her apartment. Kate sure someone she had never dreamt if seeing again.


    WHAT THE FUCK!


    She was unbelievably stunned!

 Blind Date

    Chapter 25: Blind Date


    ¡°what the hell is this mother fucker doing here?¡± she asked herself.


    Alex?


    This was a big lie. This was someone she had never dreamt if meeting in her current world ever again.


    After paying the cab driver, she walked closer.


    ¡°I need to understand what the hell you are doing here.¡±


    ¡°Listen to me Kate. We need to speak.¡±


    ¡°We don¡¯t fucking need to speak. Leave my house.¡±


    ¡°Please Kate gear me out. Let¡¯s speak.¡±N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    ¡°And I said, we can¡¯t. You can¡¯t speak to me dick. Ni get the fuck out if my house.¡± she said, raising her voice and walking out from him.


    He then dragged her back and to the closest wall around there where he closed every possible gap for her to escape.


    ¡°I will scream. Don¡¯t dare me, I will make sure I ce you under the police custody.¡± Kate said.


    Laughing, Alex looked at her like she was spitting nonsense.


    ¡°I am being polite bitch. Do t let me change my god framing attitude. You know, I have beaten you up before. I can beat you up again.¡± Alex said not seeming to give a fuck about what Kate thought.


    ¡°Yes you have beaten me up before, even when you knew that I loved you and you meant the world to me. You have beaten me, you have assaulted me. You have rained insults on me. But can I tell you why you thought you had the upper hand? You had the upper hand because even as an adult, I was still joking with my rights as a human. I was too nice, I had no, and I loved you unconditionally. But its different now. Things gave changed, because u have a brother inw to be who walked in the force. So you see, with just a snap of my fingers, you are doomed.¡± Kate said to him, confidence written all over her facial expression.


    Alex felt weak after her speech. There was no need holding her anymore, so he left her.


    ¡°You will regret leaving me Kate. You should really have a rethink.¡±


    ¡°I think it¡¯s you who is already regretting. I Kate have nothing to regret. Just a few days, I bet you, I will be in the strong arms of a better man.¡± Kate promised him and walked in, closing the door like no one showed up.


    Alex could not believe the attitude he was receiving from Kate. This was the same girl he had a hundred percent control over. He would talk to her how ever he wanted. He had evenid his hands on her countless times and she would still be willing to let go of everything because if love.


    How did they get there?


    So many thoughts was going through his mind even though he knew the answer to it. He knew he fucked up big time. He had a full control of her. Even though she gave him privileges that hurt her, she had only one rule and that was faithfulness.


    She told him that at the start of the rtionship and he could still vividly remember it.


    They were in his newly bought sport car at that time as they chatted together about what they loved and hated.


    ¡°What is that thing that could ever make you leave me?¡± he had asked her.


    ¡°Why are you asking?¡± she replied feeling shy.


    ¡°Because I know how much you love me and how much you are willing to take in and tolerate because of what we share. I also hear you say only one thing can separate us.¡± he said to her, admiring the white short dinner gown she was wearing that night.


    ¡°You are right though. Yes I love you and I am willing to take everything from you except one thing.¡±


    ¡°and what is that one thing?¡±


    ¡°Well, that one thing is cheating. Alex, in as much as I love you, I am willing to tolerate it as long as I will be your one and only. If you ever find yourself cheating, please make your you do the great job of covering all the evidence so that I would never notice. Please don¡¯t ever cheat on me. Not even to my face or to my hearing.¡± she had responded to him then.


    Alex didn¡¯t know whether tough at his stupidity or cry.


    He knew it was his fault.


    She had let him treat her poorly, even though she does not deserve it.


    He knew he felt toofortable with treating her poorly and he regretted his act.


    Even as he was already willing to make amends, she was not ready to give her face.


    Ashamed of himself, he turned and walked out of the building. Even him wanted to stay far away from the apartment even though it was hard to. He knew no one wishes to have someone like him, at least no woman needs someone like him.


    Kate was peeping through the cotton with a heavy heart. She has being trying hard not to fall for his trick. She felt like he came to set her up.


    Her life would have been fucked up if she had chosen to use her feelings instead of her brains. Breathing in and out, she decided to remain strong, closing her window cotton and retiring to her bed as early as possible.


    On the other side, right in Andre¡¯s simple apartment, Andre sat in the study room as he smoked deeply while thinking about Anita. He didn¡¯t know what to make of his connection with Anita, but he knew he wanted to spend on her and make her experience what living in money felt like.


    Thinking back to the state he left her and her friend in the afternoon, he wondered what must have transpired. Did he do anything to her?


    Was she feeling safe right now?


    But then, remembering that Kate was with her at the time he left, he felt better.


    Kate was a good friend.

 The Date

    Chapter 26: The Date


    He trusted Kate and the fact that Kate genuinely loved Anita was something he could not deny, else being proved other wise.


    Thomas took Anita to Antis restaurant that evening. As Anita stepped down from the car, her eyes sparkled. She lived the sight of the city and imagine being able to conquer this whole ce sooner.


    As she thought, the touch of Thomas brought her back to her senses.


    What the fuck was she thinking?


    Anita refused to ept the thought.


    ¡°Come in!¡± Thomas held her hand as they went in and sat down at thest seat that was close to the window.


    Thomas picked that seat intentionally like he knew what Anita wasfortable with and what not.


    ¡°I love this ce Thomas.¡± she said openly. The admiration wasn¡¯t something she was interested in hiding.


    ¡°I know. That¡¯s why I brought you here instead.¡±


    ¡°we want these.¡± Thomas said to the waiter and focused on Anita.


    Anita was surprised by how he was giving her his full attention.


    He seemed to have changed.


    He seems to love me more.


    So many narratives kept roaming allover her mind.


    She wondered why he was being so soft. This was so unlike him, but whatever it was, she was really loving the new Thomas.


    Thomas eyes sparkled as he gazed deeply into Anita¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°What can you see?¡± he asked her all of a sudden.


    Smiling, Anita turned her face towards the other direction.


    ¡°Are you shy?¡± he asked her as he softly pinched her cheek.


    Anita blushed more.


    ¡°Stop it Thomas!¡±


    ¡°Tsk there you go again. Don¡¯t you have other sweet names to call me or is it that you never thought about it?¡± he asked her.


    ¡°I.. I really haven¡¯t thought about it. I¡¯m sorry. Maybe I will think about it.¡±


    ¡°You wanna go home and think about it? That¡¯s cool too. You can also have a dream about it. But please ensure it¡¯s as sweet as you.¡± he said to her.


    Anita was already all over the moon.


    ¡°I will. You are so sweet.¡±


    ¡°Not as sweet as your lips look right now. Do you know you are a very beautiful youngdy?¡±


    ¡°I umm¡±


    ¡°Well in case you don¡¯t know, you are so so so beautiful. Take it or leave, but the fact remains.¡±


    Soon, the waiter brought their order, and Anita picked up her spoon and fork as she dived into her dinner.


    Thomas picked up a table knife, divided some fried meats and started feeding Anita so gently.


    Everyone around them was already noticing the couple being so lovey dovey.


    Some couple who also came to have dinner found them really cool and attractive.


    Anita didn¡¯t even notice that people were already recording their good time on camera.


    ¡°Hold on, is that not Officer Thomas with the popr reporter sitting over there?¡± someone from the other side of the restaurant said loud enough for people to here.


    The atmosphere froze for a moment.


    In the next minutes, cameras were already all over the ce. Most people in there were not vignt enough to notice that these people were celebrities as they thought they were normal people who came to have fun.


    Thomas realized this and in the next minute, he was smiling and waving to the cameras.


    Anita wondered what was going on, but she never thought of it for too long until she looked up.


    THE FUCK!


    She froze in shock.


    Why was camera allover them.


    It took her some minutes to remember that she was a reporter and was famous in the city.


    Fuck!


    Maybe they should have gone to somewhere more private.


    They weren¡¯t cautious enough, especially her. She has not paid more attention.


    Lifting her wrist, she rubbed a forehead a bit.


    She clearly wasn¡¯t ready to make this rtionship a public one.


    Why the fuck of all times. She was having her best life.


    Damn!


    Thomas noticed Anita¡¯s mood andughed within himself.


    Touching her arm. ¡°We should leave. What do you think?¡± he asked her.


    Anita was relieved.


    ¡°Yes dear. I really think we should leave. I am no longerfortable at all.¡± she said, demanding that they leave.


    ¡°okay then.¡±


    Thomas settled all the bills and in minutes, they were already in his car.


    Anita then heaved a sign of relief.


    ¡°How are you feeling now?¡± Thomas asked her.


    ¡°Pretty much better. Oh my gosh! It was hectic in there.¡±


    Looking at her facial expression and listening to her words, Thomas busted outughing.


    ¡°Why are youughing? It clearly wasn¡¯t funny.¡±


    As they spoke, they started hearing sounds of people knocking on the car window.


    WTF


    Anita couldn¡¯t believe her eyes.


    Like were these people expecting them toe down or what? She then looked at Thomas like asking for exnation.


    ¡°These people are known as paparazzi. They are seeking for information.¡± he said to her.


    ¡°Information? What kind of information do they need at this time if the day?¡± she asked, because she was pretty sure she was not a big celebrity. She was not a world known star, she was just a young reporter who was simply doing her job and ying her role well, so what kind if information do they need. She should be the one seeking for information.


    ¡°Rx Anita. Have you forgotten that I am a celebrity? I am one of the most famous police men in this city so this is understandable. Do you understand now?¡± he said, looking into her eyes like trying to make her understand.


    Anita kept looking into his eyes like trying to figure out what he was really talking about.


    Oh yes!


    She then realized.


    She had almost forgotten that Thomas was a police force and people trust him more in this state.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Was this the result of showing the world how reliable you are?


    Was this what he was trying to achieve?


    So what was he going to do about this madness that was going on outside their car?

 It Is What It Is

    Chapter 27: It Is What It Is


    She definitely knew he was not going to shun them, because was clearly aware of how much he loves attention.


    Seems she still needed to figure out the need for all these madness. It¡¯s not like he had an album or a movie to promote.


    ¡°So what do we do about this now? Shouldn¡¯t we leave?¡± she asked him, a bit dissatisfied.


    Thomas looked at her and the focused on the people outside like he doesn¡¯t care about what she thinks.


    ¡°Hello!¡± he said to the people outside after rolling down his car window.


    ¡°Officer Thomas!¡±


    ¡°Officer Thomas its such a pleasure to meet with you sir!¡±


    ¡°Officer Thomas!!!!¡±


    ¡°Now listen, I will only answer one question and please make it real quick.¡± Thomas voiced out.


    He was already pissed at how his named was being mentioned repeatedly by different people at the same time.


    ¡°Officer Thomas, please could you tell the general public what you are doing with the famous reporter, Miss Anita?¡± one intelligent paparazzi asked daringly.


    Thomas turned and looked at Anita before facing the guy and said. ¡°Miss Anita has being doing pretty well ever since she started this career of hers. She¡¯s doing well, so a cup of coffee shouldn¡¯t be a bad thing or what do you think?¡± Thomas said to the paparazzi.


    They then waved their heads like they agreed to what he said.


    Thomas saw how block headed they were. Immediately, he rolled up the car window and drove out of the environment.


    He drove for sometime without a word. Soon, he felt the aura that surrounded the car and decided to stop the car.


    Thomas packed the car after a few minutes and looked at Anita.


    ¡°You are quite.¡± he told her.


    ¡°of course I am. I have to be quite.¡±


    ¡°But why? I am not okay with it.¡±


    ¡°You have to.¡±


    ¡°Cone on! Why are acting like this? If there us a problem, say it, I am willing to sort this out.¡±


    ¡°Can I ask you a question Thomas?¡±


    ¡°Yea sure!¡±


    ¡°Who am I to you?¡±


    ¡°My woman?¡±


    ¡°You think so?¡±


    ¡°Yes I do!¡±


    ¡°So why couldn¡¯t you admit that to the public? Why couldn¡¯t you confidently tell those folks that I am yours?¡±


    ¡°Where is this heading to? Like how the fuck did we get here Anita? You are no kid.¡±


    ¡°Really? It¡¯s good then. Drive me home.¡± she said to him. Unwilling to speak to him about the issue anymore as she was already burning in anger.


    ¡°No! We ain¡¯t moving Anita. Listen, I understand okay, but it¡¯s for your own good. I am a force. I have many enemies. You are precious to me, so I have to protect you. If I had brought you out in the public, trust me, you will have a lot to deal with.¡± he exined.


    It was then Anita realized it. He was damn right.


    ¡°umm I think I was overthinking it¡­¡±


    ¡°No it¡¯s fine Anita. I understand you! But, if I may ask, why were you pained about it? Is there something I should know?¡± he teased her.


    Anita blushed.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    ¡°No I am perfectly fine. We should leave now.¡±


    ¡°Anita talk to me.¡± Thomas grabbed her cheeks with his both hands and looked at her like she was some mystery he needed to uncover.


    Anita could feel the heat. Her heart then started beating up rapidly.


    She had never felt that way before. This was so strange.


    She got lost looking into his eyes. Thomas could see the effect he was having on her and this put him in an excited mode.


    Even though he knew she didn¡¯t understand what was going on, he wished that she would submit totally.


    ¡°I love you Anita!¡± he said to her.


    Anita froze in shock.


    Her lips opened and closed repeatedly. She wanted to speak but didn¡¯t know what to say at all.


    ¡°I really don¡¯t understand you Thomas. What are you saying?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you understand me?¡± he asked her, lowering his hard tone which then made it sound so soft and sexy.


    Anita nodded in reply.


    ¡°Should I then make you understand?¡± he asked with his like almost touching get lips.


    Anita felt his like allover hers and craved his lips.


    Thomas understood her bodynguage and in seconds, there is locked.


    Anita brain flushed.


    Her memory formatted instantly as she delved into another world with Andre.


    She had never experienced something as pleasurable as that before.


    Raising her hands, she ced her palms on his head and massaged it gently. Her body system already changed. She had never expected that she would go through such chemistry with Thomas.


    Thomas didn¡¯t seized the opportunity to rap his hands around her waist as he caressed her back with on of his hands like trying to turn her on.


    Anita didn¡¯t know when her hands started going down, but she was already all over Thomas¡¯s chest.


    When it felt like it was going in another direction, Anita senses jumped back. She then freaked in shocked and stopped the romance immediately.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think I am ready to do this.¡± she said all of a sudden.


    Thomas rubbed his forehead as he tried his best to listen to what she was saying.


    It would not take him a second to have his way with her, but because she was still of strong use, he couldn¡¯t do anything at that time, but he still didn¡¯t let his dissatisfaction show.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. I understand. Hope you are good?¡±


    ¡°Yea I am. Thank you Thomas!¡± she replied, rubbing her face.


    She couldn¡¯t believe what had transpired a few minutes ago.


    She then turned to look at him. He noticed her stare and looked at her back.


    ¡°By the way, I have something really important to talk to you about. It¡¯s about Kate, my girlfriend.¡± Anita said upon remembering her deal with Kate. She really hoped everything worked as nned.


    ¡°Oh okay. May I know what it is about?¡± he asked as he started the car.

 Liam i

    Chapter 28: Liam i


    ¡°Kate needs a man in her life. Her past rtionship was violet. Though she¡¯s out of it now, I really want her to be with someone and not be lonely.¡± Anita finally told him after taking some deep breath.


    Thomas almost stopped the car out of shock.


    What the hell was she talking about. What should he then do about her girlfriend.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    ¡°So what will you like me t do about this?¡± he asked her.


    ¡°I really wish you can help me rmend her to someone. I trust your judgment and I know that whoever you choose for her will be good.¡±


    ¡°You think so?¡±


    ¡°I know so dear.¡±


    ¡°Well in that case, I will see what I can do.¡± he then told her and drove her home.


    Anita was in a very jovial mood that night considering the fact that Thomas gave her the listening ear.


    Finally, her friend would get the chance to love again.


    Picking up her phone, she called Kate.


    ¡°Hey what¡¯s up?¡±


    ¡°Hi girlie! Are you done with your man for the day?¡±


    ¡°Yea babe guess what?¡±


    ¡°Gist me.¡±


    ¡°He agreed. He said he would rmend you to someone he thinks is good for you.¡±


    ¡°Really? Awwn thank you do much Anita.¡±


    ¡°You are very wee.¡±


    ¡°How about we meet up sometime tomorrow?¡±


    ¡°Yes sure. I wille around.¡±


    ¡°Ok good night.¡±


    ¡°Sweet dreams!¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe I have to rmend a man to her girlfriend.¡± Thomas said to someone on the phone as he walked around his balcony.


    ¡°You have to. It¡¯s a plus for us. Listen, we need more supporters. Remember the job we have next week though. There must be no w.¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t forget the jib we have next week, but my issue now is searching for a man for somedy.¡±


    ¡°Rmend whoever I ask you to after some research.¡±


    ¡°I trust you Senior Partner.¡±


    Laughing, ¡°You have to.¡±


    Thomas then ended the call and walked into his luxurious room. Ad he looked around his room walls painted red, he made his way to hisrge bed andid on it. He was going to do as his senior partner had instructed.


    He had to be sessful in his endeavors.


    Looking around his home and what he had achieved so far, he was marveled. No one would belief the amount of wealth he had been able to achieve in the past few months.


    All thanks to his sound mind and smart brain.


    Thinking about Anita, he felt like he should give up. He had never been a fan of women and their love affairs, but was only trying to tolerate Anita because he needed her to gain the trust of the general public.


    He just hoped that she was going to do as nned.


    Kate couldn¡¯t be happier wherever she was as she imagined what kind of man wasing her way. It has always been such a blessing to be able to have a man by her side even though she was more worried about the character of the man that wasing her way sooner orter. She just hoped that it would be the kind if man that wouldplete her in a more positive way.


    Hugging her big pillow under the big and soft bedsheets, she slept off.


    The next day, Kate didn¡¯t hesitate to hurry to Anita¡¯s apartment to spend the time with her.


    She was so happy about the good news she heard the night before.


    ¡°Oh my goodness! I can¡¯t believe I am going into another rtionship sooner. Seems like Thomas is not as bad as I thought earlier.¡± she said to Anita who smiled while listening.


    ¡°Well he isn¡¯t as bad as we thought. I confirmed itst night.¡±


    ¡°What?? What happenedst night?¡± Kate asked curiously.


    ¡°Hmm! A lot happened. Nevermind!¡± Anita said shyly. She had never been the type to really talk about her private life. She didn¡¯t even know when it slipped out of her tongue, but she knows that it¡¯s because of howfortable she was with her girlfriend.


    Kate was surprised as she thought of what could have happenedst night as her curiosity grew.


    ¡°Tell me Anita. What happened?¡± she persuaded.


    Anita didn¡¯t really know where to start as she nodded her head. ¡°You are so curious.¡±


    ¡°If course I am. Please tell me!¡±


    ¡°Okay, so we almost did itst night. I pulled out and he respected my decision. I never thought he could ever be as gentle as he was yesterday. I am super proud of my rtionship with him. He was so cool and he protected me with all he got yesterday.¡± she said to him.


    ¡°That¡¯s so great to hear. Are you going to the office today?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t think so. There¡¯s nothing at hand today.¡±


    NYC POLICE STATION


    Thomas got to work as early as possible to discuss with some of his people in the cell regarding their operations.


    After organizing his documents secretly in his office, he called on his assistant and had it distributed across his people in the station.


    Thomas had a high status in the station due to the work ethics he disyed and majority of the people in the force respected him and it was the same for the general public.


    Thinking about what his boss had said to him this morning, he then thought it would be beneficial if he got to work immediately.


    Later that evening, Anita and Kate found their way to an eatery close by to have their dinner.


    Kate was to sleep over in Anita¡¯s apartment, so Anita decided to give her a dinner outside of home to keep her lively knowing fully well how much Kate loves going to restaurants.


    ¡°This ce is cool. Though simple, but their foods are delicious.¡± Kate said like she knows all the restaurants in the city.


    ¡°You know right!¡±


    ¡°Anita, what about Andre?¡±


    Anita froze.


    She had not expected that question all of a sudden.

 Liam ii

    Chapter 29: Liam ii


    ¡°I think he is fine where ever he is. Tsk! I don¡¯t like talking about him.¡±


    ¡°But why? Okay let me guess. You are now taking Thomas seriously.¡±


    ¡°Yea right. You know I just thought I should take him seriously since he takes me seriously.¡± she replied.


    ¡°That makes sense too.¡±


    As they chatted, Anita¡¯s eyes was drawn to a figure a but far away from where they were seated.


    She couldn¡¯t believe at first, but then she decided to give herself sometime to study the fellow.


    After sometime, she couldn¡¯t bear it it anymore. They were already seated there for about thirty minutes and this man haven¡¯t for once taken his eyes off Kate as they ate their food.


    ¡°Kate?¡±


    ¡°Yes darling!¡±


    ¡°Can I talk?¡±


    Looking up at her girlfriend. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°Someone has been looking at you for like God knows when.¡±


    Kate froze.


    She never expected it.


    Taking a deep breath, she stylishly looked by the side and spotted a very young and handsome man eyeing her from a distance.


    ¡°Oh my goodness, he is so handsome.¡± she whispered.


    ¡°Yes he is. Looks like we don¡¯t need to stress ourselves anymore.¡±


    ¡°Why did you say so?¡± Kate asked surprisingly.


    ¡°Because he is fuckinging our way.¡± Anita spat happily.


    Kate couldn¡¯t believe her ears. Sitting up, she stylishly arranged her hair and sipped the ordered cocktail drink.


    ¡°Hey beautiful!¡± the man said as he waved his hands.


    ¡°Hello!¡± Anita greeted


    ¡°Hi handsome!¡± Kate replied.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Clearing her throat, Anita knew she couldn¡¯t remain there.


    ¡°Errm I will excuse you for now. Have fun.¡± she whispered to Kate and stood up.


    Kate didn¡¯t know how she was feeling anymore, but one thing she could dictate was that she had nothing less than gratitude for her best friend.


    Anita knew when to give her space and when not to.


    ¡°Thanks!¡± she replied.


    Anita stood up with her tray and sat at the other side not too far away from where she was before.


    This gave Kate the chance to mingle with him.


    ¡°What¡¯s your name gorgeous?¡± he asked seductively.


    ¡°I am Kate by name. You?¡±


    ¡°You can call me Liam.¡±


    ¡°Oh nice!¡±


    ¡°You have a really cool name. I think we should get you more food and snacks. What do you think?¡± he asked.


    Kate was already in another world. She remained silent and let him do whatever he wanted.


    Even Anita was shocked to see that more foods and snacks were been ordered and brought to her table.


    ¡°Thanks for all these. I never expected it tonight and I really appreciate you.¡± Kate said as she looked him in his eyes and smiled deeply.


    He was such a gentleman. His dark brown eyes matched with his dark brown hair. He had this perfect body and his height was another plus. She loved it when he smiled, revealing his beautiful set of white teeth. She was already getting carried away.


    ¡°You are wee.¡± he replied her, bringing her back to her senses.


    They had a long conversation, and by the time they were done, it was already 11pm.


    He took them to his car and drove them home safely.


    When he saw that they were already indoor, he started his car and drove back home.


    Laughing hard, ¡°it¡¯s such a beautiful living in New York City. I bet you had fun girl.¡± Anita said while pulling off her shoes.


    Kate didn¡¯t know how to express her excitement at that point as she smiled so happily.


    ¡°Anita, you needed to see the way he was looking at me. Gosh! I felt like I was already in heaven.¡±


    ¡°I know that. I could tell with the look on your face. You were blushing like a little girl with her crush.¡±


    ¡°I just can¡¯t wait for him to ask me out officially. Oh my God! Even though he has not gone further, I just can imagine it enough in my memory. Did you see his eyes?¡±


    They bothughed, are most of the things they came back home with and then slept off together in the sitting room out of excitement.


    ¡°Good morning!¡± Anita greeted when she woke up.


    ¡°Good morning. I can¡¯t believe we slept here.¡± Kate said, yawning and stretching.


    ¡°Yea. Last night was fun. I wish to such such nights every fucking day.¡±


    Anita then freshened up and moved to the kitchen to make breakfast.


    Kate stood up to and headed to the bathroom to wash up.


    While they were having their breakfast, they had a knock on the door.


    They got stunned because they couldn¡¯t understand who would know as early as it was and who it could be.


    When Anita headed to the door and opened it, she froze.


    ¡°You?¡±


    ¡°Good morning. Is she in?¡± he asked.


    ¡°Umm yes she is. Come in!¡±


    Kate never expected Liam to visit her that early morning, so when she. Saw him, she too was shocked as she was not mentally prepared to face him in the day time.


    This was her first time seeing him in day time. She only saw him the night before and it was the same for him.


    Looking at him they morning, she could really confirm that he was good looking.


    Anita too was surprised as to how good looking he was. Kate really had the aura to attract good looking kind of men. She felt grateful that at least, he was better looking than her ex.


    ¡°Liam?¡± Kate muttered.


    ¡°Yes Kate. Morning! Seems like I came at the perfect time. Anyways, I brought you some goodies.¡± he said and ced the bag he walked in with.


    Even though they were surprised, they epted his gift, but at that moment, thedies only had one question to ask Liam.


    Why the fuck was he putting on a police uniform?


    They had never thought he would belong to the force, plus he was too handsome to be a police man.


    ¡°Umm. I can see someone is ready for an assignment. You never told me you were a policeman?¡±

 Liam iii

    Chapter 30: Liam iii


    ¡°You never asked, so I never bothered to, besides, I knew you were going to see me on my outfit sooner orter.¡± he responded like it was not worth talking about.


    ¡°ok so this means you are a policeman.¡± Anita confirmed.


    ¡°Yes I am.¡± he replied.


    ¡°Well that¡¯s great. It¡¯s such a coincidence that my boyfriend is also a police man. Please join us for breakfast. We are one anyway.¡± anita said.


    Kate was so pleased.


    After the breakfast, the trio sat in the sitting room as they watched some channels on the television. ¡°Do you live here to?¡± Liam asked Anita.


    ¡°It¡¯s her apartment. We are more of sisters, so Ie here to spend quality times with her.¡± Kate replied before Anita could speak.


    ¡°Oh that¡¯s great. So where do you live?¡±


    ¡°My apartment is thirty minutes away from here. Do you want to see it?¡± Kate asked.


    ¡°Yes sure. If you don¡¯t mind.¡± he responded as he licked his lips.


    Anita caught him on that and froze. Why was he acting like something would ur if they go to her house.


    Standing up, ¡°in that case, I thing I should take you there.¡±


    ¡°Now?¡± Anita asked.


    ¡°Yes darling. Awwn looks like you are missing me already. I will see youter okay.¡± Kate said to Anita and walked into the room to pick up her handbag, while Anita followed behind.


    ¡°Kate don¡¯t tell me you are going to your house alone with this man.¡± Anita asked her, bothered about Kate taking things too far within a short amount of time.


    ¡°Yes I am and trust me to have fun girl.¡± she replied happily.


    ¡°Kate I want you to have fun okay, but then again, he has not officially asked you out, so I don¡¯t think it¡¯s appropriate to do this.¡±


    ¡°Come on now Anita. You know I¡¯m not interested in a man begging me to be with him at the moment. I am the one who missed true love. I missed being loved Anita please ept him.¡±


    ¡°Come on, what are you saying? You know I epted him from the very beginning, I just don¡¯t want to see you heart broken. You are not just my friend but my sister. I¡¯m only being cautious and you are aware of how much I love and adore you.¡±


    ¡°I know you love me Anita, but so just this one thing for me. Just ept him no matter what. As long as he doesn¡¯t hurt me in anyway, I promise you, all will be well.¡±


    ¡°In that case, I support you.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡±


    ¡°Yes honey. Anything that makes you happy, is what I will be cool with.¡± she replied.


    After sometime, Kate appeared in the living room with Anita. Soon, Liam and Kate left the house to Kate¡¯s apartment.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe you have such a great apartment.¡± Liam admired.


    ¡°of course I do. Please sit down.¡± she replied.


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    Without wasting time, Kate rushed to her refrigerator and brought out some chilled juice and had it served.


    ¡°Please drink.¡± she said to him.


    Liam didn¡¯t hesitate to take it and gulped down almost half of it at once.


    ¡°Have some taste.¡± he said as he fed her some.


    Kate felt so cool that she didn¡¯t know how and when to appreciate him.


    Liam was surprised at her behaviour. He hade across pretty and sexydies countless times, but he had never seen one as soft as Kate before.


    She must be very vulnerable. She must need some loving.


    He thought.


    ¡°I really like you Kate and I hope in a few days, depending on us, that I will be bold enough to tell you that I love you.¡± he said to her.


    Kate froze in shock.


    She had never expected those words. It was then like her brain got formatted and she couldn¡¯t think of anything else but his words.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Taking a closer look at him, she wondered if he really meant what he was saying. She then got the television on and ced her head on hisps.


    Liam looked down at her sexy lips as he wondered if Kate knew how beautiful she was.


    He fed his eyes with her slender figure and sexy curves as he go turned on.


    Oh shit!


    He hated scenarios like these.


    He knew he got turned on so easily, so he had been trying to be focused, but thisdy never gave him a chance to. How could she make him have view of her figure?


    Kate felt something whileying on hisp and almost burst intoughter. She couldn¡¯t believe that he was turned on already.


    This melted her heart as she had to admit that he really liked her and finds her attractive enough to get turned on while being with her, but she pretended not to know anything about it.


    Standing up, she walked into her room and got changed into something hotter as she appeared again in the sitting room to make him have a hard time.


    She already liked him, so she wasn¡¯t against him being turned on. She also never believe in keeping herself at all. She always believed that as long as the man in her life like her enough, she could do anything with him.


    ¡°Erm, would you like me to get you another drink?¡± she asked him.


    ¡°The drink isn¡¯t bad. I could have another.¡± he replied, trying hard to suppress whatever it was that was going on in his mind.


    When she left, he looked down at his leg and froze at how his cock was rising so fast and getting obvious.


    He then straightened himself and lifted up his trouser a bit to hide it from showing, but the signs could still be traced.


    ¡°Here it is!¡± Kate returned with the drink in her hand as she looked him up over and over again.


    Kate walked to his side and sat closer to him, repeating the same thing again byying on hisp.

    Chapter 31: Encounter i


    Liam was already losing his mind. He could see her skin so clearly with the shadow of her pussy. Her breasts was not hiding as well.


    Fuck! He cursed in his mind as he thought about how to go about it.


    Kate didn¡¯t give a damn. She sat up, looked him straight in his eyes and kissed her lower lips.


    It¡¯s good she offered herself. He thought as he seized the opportunity to have his way.


    Liam lifted her up and ced her on the floor.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    He then unbuttoned his shirt, ced in on the sofa and went to give Kate all the attention.


    Kate felt good as she let him touch herps repeatedly.


    He slid his hand all the way from herps to her inner thighs, smiling as he watched her moan helplessly.


    He couldn¡¯t believe it would be so easy to get a whole Kate.


    Dragging his shoulders, Kate tried to make him continue kissing her when she felt a finger rubbing her clitoris.


    Pleasures blew into her as she moaned. Liam was already losing his mind due to her sound, so he bent down and kissed her lips as he slid his fingers in and out of her pussy.


    ¡°Oh my gosh! You are so good!¡± Kate said a but loud as she widened her hips to give him more ess.


    ¡°And you are hot!¡± he replied, before his hands off her pussy.


    Kate felt like she was going to loose her mind. Why the fuck did he take his fingers off her. She wanted it and rough.


    ¡°What the fuck are you doing?¡± she managed to say as she moved closer to him, expecting him to rub her clitoris more, but instead, he decided to fill her honey pot with hisrge and hard cock.


    Kate never expected it as her mouth widened in shock of how huge and hard it felt.


    ¡°Oh oh oh my gosh!¡± she managed to say with her mouth widely opened.


    Liam knew she was about to scream out loud, so he used one of his hand to block her voice from calling the attention of the neighborhood as he pound her hard.


    ¡°Liam I¡¯m dead. You have all of me. Finish me oh kill me.¡± she spat, speaking gibberish at the same time.


    Liam was enjoying her look as well as his pleasures. He had had countless girls in his years of existence, but non had ever given him the reaction that Kate was giving at the moment.


    He hadn¡¯t even imagine living her as all he wanted at that point was to eat her all up.


    After about an hour, he finished his first round as he pulled out and poured his juice on the floor.


    Kate was already out of the world as sheid on the floor tired, but Liam didn¡¯t feel like he was done with her.


    Without speaking to Kate, he lifted her hips again and dived in, giving her another round of sex which was higher and was more demanding.


    By the time he was done, Kate was already exhausted as sheid on the floor already almost out of breath.


    ¡°Where can I find your bathroom?¡± he said, not looking like someone that just came out of his of hot sex.


    Kate had no strength left in her as she weakly raised up her finger and pointed to a corner. Liam hot the hint and left her there to attend to himself.


    After the wash up, he returned to the sitting room already dressed up in his police uniform, as he picked up his phone from the chair and prepared to leave.


    ¡°Where are you going?¡± Kate managed to speak barely audible.


    ¡°I have a meeting to catch up to at the office. Take good care if yourself for me. I will see you soon.¡± he replied her then bent down and gave her a light kiss on the forehead.


    After taking another look at her, he walked out of her door and closed it shot.


    Kate froze. She didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry at the situation of things in her life.


    She tried to sit up, but couldn¡¯t, so she then decided to let nature take its course as she fell into a deep sleep.


    It was already evening by the time Kate was able to open her eyes again. She cleaned her eyes, sat up as she thought about everything that urred in her house today.


    She felt like she couldn¡¯t take it in, but she also felt like she could.


    She has let her vulnerability take charge of her earlier today. Only God knew what he would be thinking of her at that moment.


    Thinking about what his thoughts about her would be, she was sure it wouldn¡¯t be a hundred percent perfect, but give where those days when she cared so much about what people thought of her.


    She had dated few men whom never took her seriously even as she was always being good, so she cared less about every other guy¡¯s thought out there, but then again, she felt attached to Liam.


    ¡°I hope everything goes well.¡± she whispered as she tried to stand up from the floor.


    It was then she realized that she had been on the cold floor for hours.


    ¡°Oh my God! I hope I don¡¯t catch a cold.¡± she said, her voice a bit cracked.


    She looked around her parlour, but everything was still in ce. Only she spot where the intercourse took ce was messed up, as she could see some semen on the floor.


    Shit!


    He couldn¡¯t even clean the shit he pumped out.


    She then took some cleaning equipment and cleaned her parlour. She then sanitized the whole ce so there would be no trace of the incident.


    She then went into her kitchen and made a pot of food as she happily served it on the table.


    Time has passed, she had drank a lot to ease her pain from the sex she had at noon and she was already feeling better.

    Chapter 32: Encounter ii


    As she was able to eat, her phone rang.


    ¡°Who is calling me?¡± she said and walked to her sofa where her phone was ced to take a look.


    ¡°Anita? Awwn baby is missing me already.¡± she said in a pout and picked up the phone call immediately.


    ¡°What¡¯s up baby!¡±


    ¡°Hello Kate! How are you? Where have you been?¡± Anita¡¯s worried tone could be heard from the other angle.


    ¡°I am fine and all is well. Hope you are cool, you sound stressed.¡±


    ¡°Umm sorry I didn¡¯t mean to sound stressed, I just wanted to talk to you.¡±


    ¡°About what exactly?¡± Kate asked, wondering how important it could be.


    ¡°Where are you right now?¡±


    ¡°In my apartment. Do you want toe over?¡±


    ¡°Yes. Send me the address.¡±


    Within minutes, Kate heard a knock on her door.


    ¡°Wee wee wee baby girl.¡± Kate greeted as she hugged her girlfriend.


    ¡°Awwn! Thank you so much! I really missed you girl.¡± Anita replied happily.


    ¡°I missed you too Anita. I madete lunch. Come let¡¯s eat together.¡±


    ¡°Oh nice to hear. I can¡¯t wait!¡± Anita replied and made her way to the dinner. Her girlfriend made quite a delicacy.


    They enjoyed their food as the chatted.


    ¡°Wait, what is going on? Did something happen between you two?¡± Anita spoke up, seeing some signs on her girlfriend¡¯s body.


    Kate froze.


    She never expected to hear that from Anita. Aftering to terms with whatever might go in, she then decided to open up, after all, Anita was her girlfriend.


    ¡°Anita, we made love?¡±


    ¡°What the fuck! What did you just say? You literally just met this man.¡±


    ¡°I know, but I couldn¡¯t help it. I¡¯m so sorry Anita.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to apologize for a decision that you make. It¡¯s your body. I¡¯m sure you know what is best for it.¡±


    ¡°Do you still need a boyfriend? I guess not.¡± Anita I¡¯m told her, remembering what Thomas told her earlier.


    ¡°Why did you say that? Do you have any for me now?¡±


    ¡°Not really. Thomas just called me regarding the man he arranged for you. So I thought I should ask about it.¡±


    ¡°I am already in a new rtionship, I know that, but I also don¡¯t mind seeing someone else.¡±


    Later that evening, Anita and Kate made their way to a restaurant in the City to meet with Thomas just as nned.


    ¡°Hello Anita!¡± Thomas voice sounded from the other side of the private restaurant.


    ¡°Here you are!¡± Anita said and signaled to Kate where her man was.


    ¡°Hello babe!¡± A thick and familiar voice sounded within them.


    Anita and Kate froze.


    Seeing the face of who spoke, they couldn¡¯t be shocked enough, especially Kate, she couldn¡¯t believe her eyes.


    ¡°Liam?¡± Kate whispered and looked at Anita.


    ¡°What is he doing here?¡± she thought.


    ¡°This is Liam. Liam, this is Anita my woman and this is Kate, her girlfriend and thedy I told you about.¡± Thomas introduced.


    ¡°Oh my God! I can¡¯t believe this.¡±


    ¡°Have you both met before?¡± Thomas asked, looking confused.


    ¡°Yes, we even saw each other today before I went back to the police station.¡± Liam replied Thomas.


    pping, ¡°in that case, I don¡¯t think there is much for me to do. Wow! What a beautiful coincidence.¡± Thomas replied happily.


    Kate got a bit shy because if the situation, as she bent her head stylishly while Liam looked at her in admiration.


    Anita felt some type of way, but for some reasons, she couldn¡¯t pinpoint just how she was feeling, so she tried to suppress it.This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Later in Anita¡¯s apartment, Anita and Kateid on the bed in silent as they thought about everything that was going on.


    How could everythinge so far? Why was this so fast? Such a coincidence!


    Kate couldn¡¯t rap her head around everything that was happening.


    In Anita¡¯s head, Anita didn¡¯t know what to think, but one thing was certain, she didn¡¯t think she was in support if this so called fast love or deep rtionship.


    But how would she make her girlfriend understand. Kate was so in need of affection that it was already trying to look like she was already making a mistake.


    Like that, both girls slept off.


    The next day at an office in the City¡¯s Police Station, Thomas was seated, having a conversation Liam in his office.


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget what Boss told us earlier.¡± Thomas said.


    ¡°Sure! I just hope these shits doesn¡¯t affect my personal life and fun. You know how much I don¡¯t y with my body system.¡±


    Laughing, ¡°that¡¯s what¡¯s up!¡± he said, giving him a handshake.


    ¡°We have to transport the products that we just manufactured as quickly as possible. I got the information that someone has switched on us and is trying to go ahead if ys in this journey. You know this has got to do with firste, first serve.¡± Liam updated.


    ¡°Got you mehn! Everything is cool and on n. Anita would be of good use for us and you know it, so please treat Kate well. As long as Kate is fine, Anita would be alright. When we are done, you know what¡¯s up.¡± Thomas said, lowering his tone.


    They thenughed out loud together.


    Fixing his shirt, Liam walked out of Thomas¡¯s office to continue his police duties.


    How he hated this job, but have no choice but to use it as a cover up business just so no one would suspect him ore after him.


    As he worked on his desk, his phone then rang.


    Picking up his phone to check who it was, he sat up and looked around first before picking it up.


    ¡°Hey!¡± he said quietly.


    ¡°Hi babe! How are you doing today? Do you minding to spend some time with me today? I missed you a lot.¡± Kate voice sounded across his phone.


    Liam held his chest in relief, but then in the next minute, he froze.


    He just realized that he never had Kate¡¯s contact number.

    Chapter 33: Encounter iii


    ¡°Yes sure, expect me soon.¡± he replied her.This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Not too long after, he made his way to Kate¡¯s apartment.


    Kate made lunch and they both enjoyed their meal.


    On the other side, Anita was in the office as she went through the project she had at hand at the moment.


    For some reasons, news had leaked from some other Media houses about a drug syndicate that needed to be caught. It was said that there would be a face to face business transaction close to the beach at night and it would ur in two days.


    Anita didn¡¯t know how to react about it as she thought about what to do. Should she phone Thomas? She had no idea.


    Later that evening as she and Thomas was having dinner, she decided to bring it up.


    ¡°You have been looking at me. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Thomas asked.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know how it would look like, but I think I will be super busy next week. There is a drug syndicate that needs to be caught, I don¡¯t know if it would be possible to carry out the work we nned. There is no way I can tag the information as fake because several media homes are publishing it.¡± she said.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. Eat your food. We will talk about it when it¡¯s time.¡±


    ¡°Sir I don¡¯t think we should use the beach anymore. We can use some other ce where we would not be caught easily.¡±


    ¡°ces like where.¡± a thick voice sounded.¡±


    ¡°The burial home. Remember that the owner of the burial home is part of use. Our clients would act like they came to buy coffins why we do our business.¡±


    ¡°Change of n then.¡±


    Two dayster, Kate had just got back from work. Dropping her bag, she wondered why she had not heard from her man since two days.


    ¡°what the hell is going on? No calls, no text. Hmmm¡± picking up her phone, she dialed his number.


    ¡°Hey baby!¡±


    ¡°Liam, I didn¡¯t call for two days and since two days we haven¡¯t spoken. Hope everything is alright.¡±


    ¡°Everything is cool babe. The force in on a mission to eradicate a certain drug syndicate that is bringing harm to our society. Let me call you back in a minute.¡± he said and hung up the call.


    Liam was one man whocks patience when it came to women plus he didn¡¯t see enough reason why she would call only to ask him questions.


    On the other hand, Kate was already losing it.


    Eradicate a drug syndicate?


    ¡°Was it not the same thing Thomas and Anita was contributing in? But they are still in touch. Why was Liam¡¯s case different?¡±


    Sick of this, she got dressed and made her way to Anita¡¯s apartment.


    In a light dimmed part of a luxurious and private restaurant sat eight men dressed on suit as they discussed like the strong business men they were.


    Three were obviously citizens of America while the rest were obviously men from other races. Judging by their hair and their tone of voice, they could be from the Asian region.


    Among the three American men that were there were Thomas, Liam and their master identified as Lord Lin who had always been the brain behind almost all of their doings.


    Though the three men were drug lots of their own, Lord Lin happened to be the strongest and they had always submitted as long as it had to involve him.


    In this case, they were strictly under his authority because this was a huge business n that had originated from him and wanted to be a huge part of the business.


    ¡°Lord Lin, you called for this meeting


    I thought we already concluded during ourst meeting. What do you have to say about our location?¡± the leader of the five foreign men spoke up.


    ¡°It¡¯s already under the media¡¯s watch. If you would risk your chance at business. I won¡¯t.¡±


    ¡°How did the media find out about the location?¡±


    ¡°That, we have no idea about, but we have to take precautionary measures.¡±


    ¡°Great idea.¡±


    ¡°We are not going to make use of the beach anymore, but a burial home. To avoid any leakage, I will send you the address of the burial home before we make our move. What do you think?¡±


    ¡°You are very brilliant Lord Lin. I agree to your idea.¡± the asian man responded while his partners agreed as they nodded their head to show it.


    The rest was up to Liam and Thomas to ensure they yed their parts well and use whoever could be used as long as they got to achieve their aim.


    Aftering to an agreement, they then clicked their sses in unison and enjoyed their orders before taking their leaves.


    ¡°Did you hear that? No mistakes or we are doomed.¡±


    ¡°There will be no mistake Lord Lin. I¡¯m ying my part well. I will also ensure that I get Anita to y her part to ensure we have a free and clear passing.¡±


    ¡°Good one. To you Liam, you are beginning to act ignorant when ites to Kate. Do you know that the little Kate you are clearly taking for granted is the same little Kate that can rat you out if you¡¯re not careful.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Lord Lin, I will y my game better.¡±


    Raising his palm, ¡°drop me off.¡± he then said, and in seconds, the driver drove off.


    After dropping their Godfather off, Thomas and Liam made their way to Thomas¡¯ apartment to catch breath.


    ¡°But brother, what if they start to suspect something? Thesedies are smart.¡±


    ¡°That why they aredies. Their brains are too tiny. Like that of a chicken. As long as we got their hearts, we can get everything.¡± Thomas replied Liam and took in arge gulp of his wine.


    Liam stood for sometime on the wine counter as he thought of something.


    After some seconds, his eyeballs widened¡­

 Chapter 34: Plays

    Chapter 34: ys


    ¡°I have an idea¡± Liam said a bit loud.


    Thomas looked at him and rolled his eyes.


    ¡°no ideas now mehn. Just focus on loving your girl while I love mine.¡± Thomas repliedughing out loud.


    ¡°You think so?¡±


    ¡°I know so.¡±


    Later that evening, Kate had just gotten back from work when she met Liam already at her door waiting for her to return.


    ¡°oh my gosh! I am so sorry I kept you waiting.¡±


    ¡°No you didn¡¯t. I just came around though.¡± he replied and then we went in.


    ¡°I need to make you something.¡± Kate said as she dropped her bag wanting to head to the kitchen.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to. Just freshen up. I will make something for you.¡± he said to her as he helped her unzipped her dress, teasing her at the same time.


    ¡°Can you cook?¡± shocked Kate asked. No man has ever cooked for her. She couldn¡¯t even remember anyone doing that for her, aside Anita.


    ¡°Try me!¡± he said and walked into the kitchen.


    By the time Kate freshened up and came into the sitting room, Liam was already done. This alone shocked Kate to her bone marrow.


    Like, how could he do it.


    ¡°Hey baby! I am done.¡± he called out to her from the dinning area.


    After much contemtion, they had decided to call themselves babe.


    ¡°I want to visit you home. Can I?¡± Kate asked after a long silence as they ate.


    ¡°Of course you can. My house is yours as well.¡± he said.


    ¡°Okay babe! I will visit sometime tomorrow. I need to be with Anita today alright.¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s fine, I will drop you off. Eat up.¡±


    ¡°This food is so delicious. I can¡¯t eat it alone. Anita deserves to have some. Where did you learn to cook this good?¡±


    Laughing, he patted her head like she was a child and stood up. There was no way he would tell her that it was his ex girlfriend¡¯s favourite and that he had to learn to cook it right?


    ¡°I will get you some fruit juice.¡± he said and walked into the kitchen again.


    It was after he left that his phone vibrated.


    Kate was enjoying her food so happily when she noticed his phone vibrating repeatedly.


    She didn¡¯t bother at first because it didn¡¯t sound like a phone call. It sounded like he was being messaged repeatedly.


    ¡°Who is trying to reach out to him?¡± she said quietly.


    She wanted to ignore again, but on remembering that he was a police man, she thought it must be urgent.


    Not wanting to be the reason her lover would fail to his duties, she picked up the phone and headed to head to the kitchen when her eyes mistakenly caught something. A message from Rita¡­


    It read ¡°Hey honey! We were supposed to see today. Don¡¯t tell me you ran back to your little pet¡­¡±


    Kate froze in shock.


    Like seriously? Does she really have to deal with this?


    No way!


    In a few seconds, Kate was cool again as she dropped the phone and continued with her food.


    ¡°Hey baby! I am back. Taste it and let me know what it taste like. I had to make you some fresh one. I like my baby healthy.¡± he said, not noticing that something was already off.


    Clearing her throat, ¡°Thank you! That was so thoughtful.¡± Kate replied as she strived hard to eat the food that was already so tasteless in her tongue.


    ¡°Taste it!¡± he lifted the juice and helped her drink it.


    ¡°It¡¯s nice. Erm, I heard your phone vibrating. You should check. I was too busy with this sweet delicacy that I couldn¡¯t bring it to you in the kitchen. Pardon me.¡±


    ¡°No it¡¯s fine.¡±


    He then picked it up and looked at it.


    ¡°Kate I think I have to leave now.¡± he said as he stood up and dashed out of the house even before Kate could react and shut the door.


    Kate heart sank.


    She had never felt this stupid in her entire existence.


    Her ex had done everything in her face and she was already used to that.


    Could he be pretending to love me?


    Oh my God I am doomed.


    Kate could no longer control how she was feeling as she stood up and smashed all the cooked meal on the dinning to the floor.


    ¡°How dare you? How dare you? How could you do that to me? After everything. You couldn¡¯t even be honest with me.¡± she ced her back on the wall as she sobbed.


    She then headed into her room, picked up her phone and ran to Anita¡¯s apartment in hopes that she would meet her girlfriend.


    Anita had a busy day at work. She and her crew had important missionsing up, so she had a whole lot to work on.


    After work, she didn¡¯t even waste another seconds in her office as she made her way home.


    On getting home, she was more than surprised to see a sad Kate standing at her door helplessly.


    She clearing hasn¡¯t seen kate in that mood for a while.


    ¡°How long have you been standing here?¡± she asked Kate.


    Kate who was already carried say jumped up in fright before turning to see her girlfriend.


    ¡°What is wrong dear? Did something happen?¡± Anita asked, surprise by how worried her friend looked.


    It was then that Kate busted into tears as she ran straight to Anita and hugged her tight.


    ¡°Tell me dear. What happened?¡± Anita looked terrified as she hurriedly opened the door and took her girlfriend in before they would start drawing neighbours attention.


    In her sitting room, Anita could not believe what she was seeing.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    Like, for real, her girlfriend was weeping.


    For what exactly?


    Hugging her tight.


    ¡°What is going on Kate? Please talk to me?¡±


    ¡°Liam. Anita, it¡¯s Liam you will not believe.¡± Kate said a but loud as she covered her face in Anita¡¯s shoulders.

 Chapter 35: Watch!

    Chapter 35: Watch!


    Liam? What the hell did Liam do to Kate to make her react this way?


    ¡°Did he hit you?¡± she asked in confusion.


    ¡°No Anita.¡±


    ¡°What is the matter then?¡± she asked as she thought of what could be the major issue.


    After sometime, Kate took her time to exin to Anita what the issue was as she narrated everything that happened at her ce.


    Anita found it interested instead. She was not surprised at all.


    ¡°You don¡¯t look shocked.¡±


    ¡°I feel like something is wrong with Liam, but Kate, you can¡¯t leave him now.¡±


    ¡°I feel so stupid Anita.¡± Kate sobbed.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be.¡± Anita tried to pet her to rx. Even if she was to support him as her friend¡¯s lover, she would not be able to because he ratted himself out so carelessly thereby hurting her girlfriend.


    ¡°Right now, I don¡¯t even know what to do. I couldn¡¯t even confront him. You have no idea how scared I was to even speak out. I feel so stupid for letting him have his way with me almost immediately we met.¡± she said, saying different things in agony as she crude.


    Anita could only hug her.


    ¡°I will suggest you calm down. I know it¡¯s not easy, but how do we think if we don¡¯t stay calm first.¡±


    ¡°Anita I was to leave him. I want to go u can¡¯t stand him anymore.¡±


    ¡°I know and this is difficult. Let¡¯s act like nothing happened. One thing I know, if he is genuine, the universe with keep him, and if he isn¡¯t, the universe will remove him. Why because your hands are clean. You are free to stay in my house for now. Besides it¡¯s your home as well.¡±


    ¡°We agreed that I was going to visit his home soon. It may be today or tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°it¡¯s fine. Even if he shows up now, go with him.¡±


    ¡°You think so?¡±


    ¡°I know so. Don¡¯t be afraid of anything.¡±


    Anita knew for a fact that Liam was under Thomas in the force. For the fact that they were friends and Thomas had rmended him to Kate, she didn¡¯t think it would make sense to harm her.


    Kate was definitely safe.


    About three hourster, Thomas showed up at Anita¡¯s apartment unannounced, surprising not just Anita but Kate.


    Kate had the urge to report Liam to Thomas, but for some reasons, she couldn¡¯t, so she decided to go to bed, leaving the couple alone in the sitting room.


    ¡°Anita, you have toe to this location tomorrow. This is where the criminals would be caught.¡± Thomas said, handing a piece of paper to Anita.


    She knew this spot. It was an under ridge.


    ¡°Okay, but wouldn¡¯t this be too dangerous for someone as simple as I am to be at?¡± she asked a bit concerned about her safety.


    ¡°I will be there. Don¡¯t you trust me?¡± he asked.


    ¡°You know I do. Don¡¯t worry, I will be there with my team.¡±


    They spent sometime together and soon, Thomas left.


    In anita¡¯s room, she didn¡¯t know how to console her girlfriend anymore. Kate was looking so cold which was so unlike her. Liam did not show up. It was obvious who he was with.


    At the downtown of New York City, in a very luxurious home painted all blue, sat Liam in the garden as his beautifully customized pool as he sipped his red wine gracefully while a hot damsel stood over him, massaging his shoulders.


    He had missed Rita¡¯s massage so badly. It took him a lot to manage and distance himself for a while just for fun, because no matter who he met, no one satisfied him the way Rita did and so effortlessly.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t answered my question yet.¡± Rita soft voice came through.


    ¡°I thought we have already gone past this discussion.¡±


    ¡°No we haven¡¯t. I understand that you are doing this for business¡­¡±


    CRASH!


    In anger, Liam crashed the wine ss in his hand.


    He hated too many questions. He has no patience for women. It wasn¡¯t like they loved him anyways, everything had been nothing but his good looks and his money.


    He then stood up and walked into his room as Rita followed behind just as expected of her.


    Liam didn¡¯t hesitate to shut the door immediately she walked into his room and after that, he pushed her to the bed.


    This had been the most courageous women he had evere across. She knew he was a womanizer and a drug addict and distributor yet she dared to stick with him for so long with her vicious nature. She had promised to remain by his side with questions for fear of being executed for knowing too much.


    At the beginning of their rtionship, he was eager to let her go after signing a non disclosure agreement, but her greed for more money couldn¡¯t let her decide.


    Knowing fully well that she was with him for the gains, he made sure he has every but of her anytime he wanted and anyhow it wanted it.


    Rita fell so hard on the bed. She felt the pain on her back, but then stayed strong like nothing happened and opened her leg, inviting him right away.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Seeing her readiness, he pulled off his clothes, tore hers open and jumped on her immediately and locked his lips with hers.


    The duo kissed for as long as Liam wanted. Liam didn¡¯t forget to insert his two fingers inside her as he went back and forth with her. Rita¡¯s screams filled the whole room as Liam are her up. After some minutes, Liam pulled his fingers out, leaving her pussy opened for the air to prate as Rita begged him to fill her up.


    This was his ego. He loved it when women begged him to fuck them. In all the times he had enjoyed sex, he had always made sure the woman on his bed begged him to prate. He loved to see such looks.

 Chapter 36: Deep

    Chapter 36: Deep


    Moaning, ¡°Please Liam. Fuck me hard!¡± she screamed and in the next second, he filled her as he gave it to her brutally.


    He didn¡¯t think it was important to stop as he went in and out, hitting her in some spot she never imagined that a cock could get to.


    Minutes passed, and hours passed, yet Liam had not reached his peaks enough until it was 5am.


    The next day, Anita woke up with a headache unexpectedly.


    She didn¡¯t know why, but everything about her morning was ruined as she bent her head, holding gently yet feeling excruciating pains all over.


    ¡°Good morning Anita! Are you okay?¡± Kate asked when she walked passed the sitting room and saw her friendying on the bed.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know, but I feel such a strong headache.¡±


    ¡°Oh my Gosh! Rx please. I will go get you some medicines.¡± Kate helped hery on the bed and rushed to the pharmacy to get some prescribed medicines.


    When she returned, she quickly made breakfast and served Anita.


    It was after Anita had eaten her breakfast did she take her medicine.


    ¡°How do you feel now?¡± Kate asked as her face spelt worry.


    ¡°I feel better. I need to get to work.¡±


    ¡°No Anita, not this way. Your health should be number one.¡±


    ¡°I understand that, but Thomas will be very upset with me if he does not see me today. Don¡¯t worry, I will be fine.¡±N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    ¡°Okay but promise you won¡¯t stress yourself today. I wille pick you when you are done. Just message me and you see me alright.¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to work?¡±


    ¡°No, I am off.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Anita then prepared herself, took the necessary documents and made her way to the media home.


    Upon getting down from the cab that took her to work, her eyes met with Andre.


    She froze.


    She can¡¯t remember thest time she saw this face. But she could feel that it has been long. He was still as handsome as ever if no more.


    Tapping her head to clear her mind, she paid the cab guy and headed straight to the gate where he stood.


    ¡°Andre? Wow!¡±


    ¡°Good morning Anita! I will help you in.¡± he greeted and offered to help her carry her handbag.


    ¡°No no! I am okay. I hope you had a great nightst night.¡±


    ¡°Not without you.¡± he replied.


    Anita froze. She had never expected that answer. There he go again with his flirts.


    ¡°I will be in my office. Don¡¯t forget we have important things to do today.¡± she said and walked past him to her office.


    Andre smiled.


    He has to agree that he had indeed missed seeing her face.


    He just had to keep his distance because getting stuck by her boyfriend was an insult to his personality and he was not ready to bring himself so low, but somehow, he was still concerned. Not about his feelings, but about Anita.


    From his Assistant¡¯s findings, Thomas hands were not clean, same as his intentions, but he was not ready to dig deep.


    This was not necessarily his territory, else he would have cleared him up, but one thing he believed was that everyday is for the thief, but one single day would be for the owner. As long as Anita will be safe, there will be no conflict.


    Taking a deep breath, he walked into his office and sat in his space.


    Anita opened her system as Andre went through her mind. One reason she just does not like seeing Andre. He somehow manages to remain in her mind whenever they cross path. But then she thought about Thomas and breathe in and out before she started working on herputer.


    11am


    On the highway, a ck sport car lead the way with about three lexus jeep as they speed along the car.


    Inside the first car sat three men on suit with the driver, while the other three at the bag contained parcels. Inside the well packaged parcels contained load of illegal drug. They had to deliver those drugs to their clients at that hour, though they were a bitte, they were still in touch with their clients and everyone was in the same ce.


    The head of the three men who was a right hand man to the Drug Lord was on a phone call with his master as he discussed their progress.


    ¡°Sir, we have contacted the clients. They agreed to meet us under the ridge.¡±


    ¡°Okay. But, be careful and make sure you do as nned. Remember, no mistakes.¡±


    ¡°Yes Sir! We are fully conscious.¡±


    The call then ended.


    ¡°Riot, call the clients to be sure that they are still on the location and patiently waiting.¡± one of them suggested.


    ¡°Sure.¡± Riot answered and dialed the number.


    After speaking, he confirmed that they were still there and patiently waiting.


    When they got to the location, the all stepped down from the car to greet with their clients but before they could make the next move, they heard some noise from the four corners of the bridge. The sound was like that of the police as police cars surrounded the whole ce


    They all froze.


    Who rat them out?


    Someone among them had rat them out. They thought as they started at each other.


    Thinking it was the clients, Riot brought out his pistol and aimed it at the man that led the clients to the location, and due to his actions, everyone including other clients on suit brought theirs out as the started firing bullets.


    ¡°Fuck you Riot!¡± one if the clients screamed as he kept firing bullets to Riot.


    ¡°Fuck you too! You sold us out!¡± Riot eximed and fired a shot that went straight into the client¡¯s heart, and with that, the head of the client copsed.


    Fuck!!!


    Everyone eximed, and like that, no one spared each other as they all wanted each other dead is as to live.

 Chapter 37: Crimes

    Chapter 37: Crimes


    The whole environment was in chaos as people in the vicinity ran for their dear lives in the midst of bullets that were ruthlessly flying in the air.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe this shit is going on.¡± Riot spat as he kept firing shots all over the ce.


    At this point, the police lives were already at stake, but the had to do their job.This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Thomas was already in the location with his men and they channelled their energy to the incident at hand.


    Far away from the scene stood Anita, Andre and some other technical assistants as they watched the incident unfold.


    Anita¡¯s mouth was widely opened, she didn¡¯t know what to do as she took out herst strength to talk, facing the camera that was in Live video.


    ¡°Hey Guys, it¡¯s your girl again and we are live at New York City¡¯s main under ridge. The police is on duty, as they are currently fighting to ensure that they bring down a group of drug syndicate whom were in the process of trading illegal drugs right in this location. And guess what, the police us sure to win this battle as they have the presence of their superior, Officer Thomas. I will be here to ensure that you all get to see the full details. Stay tuned!¡± she said and went to Andre¡¯s back for protection.


    Andre was surprised at first, but then maintained his bnce and kept recording every single part of the incident. He was not going to leave even an inch.


    ¡°Oh my world! What should we do now?¡± Anita screamed to Andre and her other assistants.


    Things were already getting out of hand and she was already getting really scared. Unknowingly, she ran to Andre¡¯s back and held his shirt tight.


    This scene was captured by Thomas who acted like he saw nothing as he kept attacking the drug lords.


    Andre was more than pissed, but he was not ready to react since he was incredibly busy.


    How could Thomas let Anita get to this ce?  It was too dangerous for someone as innocent as her.


    Even if he doesn¡¯t love her, there was no need to put her life at risk. He didn¡¯t know if he should really speak to her about this.


    Andre kept thinking about Anita as he thought about thest time he got her provoked because he was trying to prove a point.


    After about thirty minutes, the fight ended.


    There were dead bodies. The clients were all silenced by Riot and his men while they only got severely injured.


    Two police men was shot at their legs which were already bleeding profusely as the ambnce took them in.


    The rest of the police cleared the scene as they got Riot and his men arrested and took away all the drugs.


    These got into the live camera, leaving the people of New York City speechless.

    Madam Cross roamed the production room with seriousness on her face as she urged her employees to hurry as the newspaper was in huge demand in the market.


    She had never seized any huge opportunity to make good amount of money for herpany.


    After some hours, Anita and her crew walked in through the door. When the spotted Madam Cross, they greeted immediately.


    Madam Cross weed them smiling. She was so impressed by how much work these two were putting in to ensure that herpany does not fail.


    Herpany was not the biggest in the town, it wasn¡¯t even the most connected, but ever since Anita and Andre came in, things had taken a new turn.


    Could this be luck? She thought.


    Anita was a sweet soul. She had been outstanding for like ever.


    ¡°You shouldplete what I submitted to your desk and take the rest of the day off.¡± Madam Cross said to Anita and walked into the production room.


    Anita was stunned. Was she missing something? She definitely wasn¡¯t.


    ¡°I think she knows you have tried for the day. So she¡¯s trying to help you catch some breath.¡± Andre exined to her, seeing how she was struggling to understand the kindness.


    ¡°Oh nice. That is true. Thanks for rifying.¡± she replied him and walked into her office.


    Andre went into his office as he straightened his shirt. Anita had grabbed it do hard that it had lost its strength. It was close to bing a torn shirt, but anyways, he liked it. He then remembered Anita bing scared and running to his back to seek protection.


    Andre then smiled.


    Back in Anita¡¯s office, Anita struggled to keep her bnce as she sat straight toplete the short task she had on her desk.


    Soon, she was done, thereby copsing on her desk with a chuckle.


    She was freaky tired and got a bit scared whenever shback if what happened yed out in her mind.


    Those men were so dangerous. That, she had to admit.


    When she thought about how she would make her way home, she then remembered Kate had asked her to call when she was done so she woulde pick her up.


    Picking up her phone, she was about to call Kate when she heard a knock on her door.


    She then stopped to pay attention.


    ¡°Come in.¡± she said and ced the phone aside.


    When she saw that it was Andre, she was surprised.


    ¡°Hi!¡± she said.


    ¡°Hello!¡± he replied.


    They then stared at each other for sometime in silent.


    ¡°Is there a problem you would live me to solve for you?¡± Anita asked professionally.


    Andre smiled.


    ¡°How are you feeling?¡± he asked her.


    ¡°Tired!¡± she replied as she massaged her forehead.


    He knew though. He knew how exhausted she was after passing through the day¡¯s drama.


    ¡°I got permission to leave as well, so get up. I will drop you off.¡± he told her.


    ¡°Really? Let¡¯s go then.¡±


    After saying that, she froze.


    She just realized that she no longer had that animosity towards Andre anymore.

    Good news indeed.


    Kate needed to hear that.


    Andre was surprised that she was able to agree without them having to argue over it.


    Wow!


    Anita then picked up her bag and went out before him.


    In the car, Anita ced her head to rest with her eyes closed as she wished to her home fast. She was feel a bit dizzy, plus her head was banging.


    Andre turned to at her. It was then he noticed that something was wrong with Anita.


    Why is her brow creased? He asked himself, tapping her softly to get her attention.


    ¡°Andre, just drive!¡± she muttered, not wanting to discuss anything.


    ¡°I got you, but what is wrong? Are you okay?¡± he asked her.


    Anita froze as her eyes flew open.


    ¡°Umm I¡¯m perfectly fine. You don¡¯t have to worry. I just need to get home please.¡±


    ¡°But you¡¯re hot. Look, seems like you¡¯re running a fever. Why are you touching your forehead?¡± he said as he touch her head.


    Oh shit! Her fever was super high.


    ¡°When did this start?¡± he asked.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Sumbing to him, ¡°this morning.¡± she answered.


    ¡°And you still came to work?¡± he asked in wonder.


    How could she be endangering her health like this?


    He knew the reason she hard to risk it all but he decided to hold his peace. Turning the car, he headed straight to the City¡¯s hospital.


    She needed to get treated before things would turn bad.


    When they got to the clinic, the doctor inspected her and gave her some medicines that would help her heal since it was just a minor case.


    ¡°You should get more rest and not over work yourself anymore.¡± he advised them both and they left as soon as they were done.


    ¡°There is no need to be with a man who clearly does not care. Feel free to always take your leave when necessary. It¡¯s a rtionship, not a cult.¡± he spat and drove the car away.


    Anita thought about his words for sometimes and chooses to let it go. She didn¡¯t think Thomas does not care. If he doesn¡¯t, he wouldn¡¯t offer to help lift her career.


    Andre was so serious that in minutes, they arrived at Anita¡¯s doorstep.


    ¡°I will go now. Have a beautiful night. Don not forget to take your drugs.¡± he advised her.


    Anita could only look. She was speechless.


    When Anita walked into her house, Kate was applying ointment on her hair.


    Immediately she spotted Anita walking in, she jumped up in surprise as she quickly took her bag away.


    ¡°I told you to call me when you are done. Why stress yourself so much?¡± she asked, wondering why Anita always preferred the hard way instead.


    ¡°It¡¯s not me this time. Andre took me to the hospital after offering to bring me back home.¡± she told her friend.


    ¡°Oh that¡¯s so gentlemanly of him.¡±


    ¡°Yes, he is very nice and he cares so much.¡± Anita agreed, shocking Kate.


    Kate really wanted to say something, but she then decided to reserve herment.


    ¡°How was today¡¯s work?¡±


    ¡°Today¡¯s work was great. I thank God!¡±


    ¡°Gist me!¡± Kate urged.


    When Anita her request for gists, it amused her. ¡°Not me and you.¡± she muttered and tried to leave, but was held back by Kate.


    ¡°Please Anita!¡± she begged.


    ¡°There was really nothing special. I expected you to watch ourpany¡¯s live video earlier. Hmm it was tough. I don¡¯t even know where to start from in Thanking God for my life.¡± she said and started narrating everything that had happened and how Andre managed to help her run out of the environment.


    ¡°Andre is indeed a strong guy.¡±


    ¡°Yes he is¡±


    ¡°I made dinner. I will serve you some asap.¡±


    While they are their dinner, Thomas came into Anita¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Did you call your man today?¡± she asked.


    ¡°I did after you left, but no one answered.¡± she said and at that moment, Anita started feeling sorry for her girlfriend.


    At the other side of the state in a dimly lit hotel room sat Lord Lin, Thomas, Liam and a few other men as they discussed their actions.


    After some hours, it was already in the middle of the night when they stood up to carry out their business n.


    The team got into a single ck deep and headed towards a burial home that was very far away from the busy areas.


    By the time they arrived there, the clients were already there and waiting to perform their exchange.


    ¡°Greetings Lord Lin¡± they greeted as they watched him approached them.


    ¡°I hope I came at the right time!¡± he said to as he touched the tip of his ck walking stuck in the floor with a smile on his face.


    After assuring that everything was good, he ordered his men to move the whole drugs to them while he received bags of money from them in exchange.


    The clients confirmed the drugs while Lord Lin had Thomas to confirm the cash and by the time they were done, it was already 1am. It was then the men then took their leave.


    The next morning, Kate¡¯s phone rang repeatedly that she had no choice but to sit up to see who it was that couldn¡¯t let her have a quiet morning. When she saw who it was, she jumped up from her bed and hurriedly washed her mouth and face.


    By the time she was done, the phone had stopped ringing. Taking a deep breath, she turned to leave, but then it rang again. Without wasting another second, she hurriedly picked it up.


    ¡°Good morning Baby!¡± Liam greeted.


    Kate didn¡¯t know what to answer other than to nod her head. Her voice was already choked up that she really wanted to cry.


    ¡°Hear me out baby! I know I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have left you for days without calling, but there was so much to do on my end.¡± he exined, sounding so innocent.

    Chapter 39: Fake Call


    Kate smirked.


    So much indeed. She thought.


    Kate thought of how to react, but just decided to y smart just like the way he has been doing for her. She couldn¡¯t let him see that she was already down.


    ¡°Can youe see me?¡± he asked.


    Her eyes widened in surprise. She instantly forgot about all her worries.


    ¡°I wille. Text me your address.¡± she replied with a cheeky smile.


    ¡°Ni, you don¡¯t have to stress. I will send someone to you. Don¡¯t worry dear.¡± he replied.


    ¡°Okay I will send my address to you now.¡± she said and quickly texted Anita¡¯s address to him.


    ¡°Received. Expect my driver.¡±


    ¡°Okay love.¡±


    Kate git up for a cool shower after the call. By the time she was done, Anita had already made breakfast.


    ¡°You should eat.¡±


    ¡°No no, my cab is already here and waiting. Enjoy sweetie.¡± she replied and kissed Anita on the cheek before finding her way out.


    Anita shook her head.


    Anyways, she was not going to stop her. Kate deserved to be loved and that was her belief.


    Looking at the food that she had cooked and served, she wondered who was going to eat it.


    Picking up her phone, she called Andre and invited him for breakfast.


    Andre never expected that there would be a day that Anita would willingly invite him for breakfast.


    ¡°How was your night?¡± he asked starting straight into her eyes.


    ¡°It was good. How are you?¡± she asked.


    ¡°I am well.¡± he replied.


    He was trying to wrap his head around the fact that he was alone with a woman he secretly admires.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Like knowing what was on his mind, she exined.


    ¡°I want to thank you for always being by my side at the most crucial moments. Thank you so much. By the way, Kate is with her man. That¡¯s in case you are wondering where she is.¡±


    Andre didn¡¯t know what to reply and he couldn¡¯t really tell what he was thinking, but he knew he was happy.


    After eating, Andre went to her sitting room to chill as he watched the television.


    Anita joined him soon.


    ¡°I should leave now.¡± he looked at Anita and said.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. Thank you for taking your time to honour my invite.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Anything for you.¡±


    ¡°Yea¡± Anita replied with her head facing the floor.


    ¡°Anita!¡± Andre called out as he tried to make her look at him.


    ¡°Let go Andre¡± She responded, making sure her face was far away from him.


    ¡°I really don¡¯t need to exin so much about how I feel about you, because I know you are aware even though you try to convince yourself that it¡¯s a lie.¡±


    ¡°Andre please don¡¯t. You can¡¯t do that now. I am in a rtionship. Thomas has been faithful and loyal to me, I won¡¯t be the one to make my rtionship to crash. I care about Thomas.¡±


    ¡°But he doesn¡¯t care about you. You should let him go.¡±


    ¡°Pfft! Please Andre, don¡¯t start.¡± she responded and made her way to her room as she shut it hard.


    After some time, Andre fixed up his shirt and made his way to the four, but upon reaching the four, he stopped.


    One thing he had to avoid was to ensure that he doesn¡¯t leave Anita¡¯s apartment on a bad note.


    ¡°Anita! Let¡¯s speak!¡± he called out.


    Anita was already in the process of having her siesta since she had no much work to do today. The little age gas didn¡¯t require her to be present at the Media home.


    ¡°Shit! I caused this.¡± she muttered and opened the door to speak to him.


    ¡°Anita we shouldn¡¯t end things on a bad note. I am sorry to bring up that topic. I crossed my limit. Please forgive me.¡± he told her as he walked slowly towards her.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. I understand.¡± her squeezed forehead softened at that point.


    ¡°How do you let me know that youpletely understand and have forgiven me?¡± he asked her as he spread his hands like inviting her for a hug.


    Without hesitation, she made her way and hugged him for sometime and smiled.


    ¡°We are good now.¡±


    Andre couldn¡¯t be happier and in some minutes, he made his way out of her apartment while she went back into her room with smiles on her face as she dozed off on the bed.


    At the other side of the City was Kate in a very luxurious building as she toured the home with Liam holding her hand, her mouth widened in awe of what she was seeing.


    ¡°She has seen beautiful homes, but this one felt out of the world. She had no idea that her man was filthy rich and if she never came around, she would never have known.


    ¡°Your home is super beautiful. It makes me wonder what else you do if not that you are an officer if thew.¡± she spoke in excitement.


    Liam froze at the sudden question that felt like it wasing his way.


    He hated answering such personal questions, but he had no choice but to think if what to say and be mentally prepared before she could ask the exact question.


    ¡°I made you some food. Let¡¯s go inside so you can eat okay. The home is so big that you can¡¯t view every single corner at once.¡± he said to her in hopes that she n no longer ask.


    ¡°Alright. I feel a bit tired and hungry though.¡± she replied. He then took her in.


    When Kate saw the kinds of meals that were arranged on the table, she froze.


    ¡°Is there a party going on honey?¡± she asked in amazement.


    ¡°You and I are celebrating our love. I feel really blessed to have you in my life Kate.¡± he told her, telling her sweet words to make her feel good.


    Kate felt butterflies roaming around her belly as she sat down, ready to devour the foods at her front.

    She felt blessed toe across a man who could sense that she was a glutton.


    As they ate, the aura around them felt good as they enjoyed every bit of the food.


    When the food on the table was almost finished, Liam stretched his palm to the other side of the dinning where Kate sat as he ced it on herp.


    Kate was shocked at first, but when she noticed where he was going to, she rxed with a smile on her face.


    All the regret she once had was already gone as she believed in enjoying the moment.


    Liam ced some chicken in his mouth and stood up from where he was to where Kate was as he bent and fed her the chicken straight from his mouth.


    Kate smiled as she tried to eat it directly from it. They fought for the meat in their mouth till it resulted to kissing.


    It felt so intense that Kate stopped what she was doing to focus on her kiss with Liam.


    They kissed until they felt out of breath. Only then did they paused as Liam bent down and lifted Kate as he carried her to the couch in his living area.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    When he ced her on the couch, he slid his palm across herp.


    ¡°Stop Liam!¡± Kate called out.


    ¡°What is wrong? Tell me!¡± he asked.


    ¡°What if someone walks in. We should go into your bedroom.¡±


    I am thenughed. He understood where she wasing from.


    But he had no one visiting. In fact, he forbids visitors else it had to do with the people around him, like Thomas and his other brothers who are in the same business as him.


    ¡°No one is visiting. If there be, the security will inform me before they walk in.¡± he told her.


    Kate inhaled and exhale in relief. She didn¡¯t want to ever experience caught in the act.


    They then continued their activity as Liam puller out everything she had in except her underwear.


    Kate was in the mood too as she took off his clothes and started rubbing her hands all over his chest with a smile on her face.


    Liam locked his lips with hers again as he touched her back, neck and slid her hand down to her boobs. As she tried to press it, he felt the bra she was putting on was obstructing him so he unhooked it and threw it to the floor so as to have full ess as he squeezed her nipples that was already hard.


    ¡°You are hot!¡±he whispered to her get as he directed his hand down her belly.


    Kate was happily enjoying everything he was doing to her body.


    Her body shivered when his hands went down to her pussy.


    Seeing that she still had a pant on, she pulled it out to have ess and like that, he has full ess to her whole body.


    Kate made it easier as she widened her legs, messing with his brain.


    At that point, Liam was more interested in pussy that his whole life as he ced her back in the chair and brought out his tongue.


    He bent down and ced died his tongue into her pussy and rubbed her clitoris.  He raised it up, down and kept dipping his tongue into her pussy.


    Kate vibrated as she rubbed his head while his tongue went in and out of her pussy. She couldn¡¯t remember thest time a man went down there for her, but she did know that she had never felt it that way before. Liam was so damn good at what he does.


    After some minutes, she poured. He then brought out his two fingers and pulled it in, sending shivers down her spine.


    He went in and out repeatedly as he enjoyed the look on her face that was pleading for more.


    When it felt like she was about to cum, he quickly pulled his fingers off, leaving her juicy pussy to the air.


    Kate felt like she was in another world as she pleaded for him to fill her immediately. After admiring the looks, he quickly filled her with hisrge cock that was so unbelievably hard.


    Kate moaned uncontrobly. If not for the fact that Liam¡¯s mansion was so huge, people outside of the building would be able to hear her screams.


    He dived into her repeatedly and even when she reached climax, he would continue without taking his cock out of her.


    This went in for hours and by the time they were done, Kate had already lost all her strength as sheid exhausted on the couch.


    Liam was a string man, so it wasn¡¯t a big deal for him.


    Picking up his clothes, he headed up to his room and had a cool bath to rx his muscles.


    It took Kate hours to wake up. When she looked out, she realized that it had just gotten dark outside.


    There was still time, so she had to reach Anita¡¯s apartment.


    She missed Anita. She then wondered what it was that she was doing at the moment.


    ¡°Where is my phone?¡± she asked herself as she stood up and took out her phone from her bag before dialing her number.


    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± she asked.


    ¡°I¡¯m cool. I tried to reach Thomas earlier, but he was obviously busy so I am alone right now.¡± Anita replied.


    Over in Anita¡¯s apartment, Anita was already awake after making a decision of having a wonderful siesta.


    When she woke up, she had tried to reach out to Thomas, but he was clearly busy as she couldn¡¯t even say everything she had to say.


    She only wished that Kate woulde keep herpany when she was done with Liam.


    Seeing as Kate called her, she felt relieved.


    ¡°I will be home soon okay.¡± Kare told her and ended the call. She had to hurry to get with Anita. She missed her already and she knew it was the same for Anita.

    Chapter 41: Heat


    It was after the call she noticed that she was still naked.


    Thinking about what happened earlier, she could only take a deep breath. She didn¡¯t know why, but she always wanted Liam inside of her whenever they met.


    She just hoped that her rtionship with him would go smoothly henceforth.


    Picking up her clothes, she headed up the stairs to search for him since he had been out of sight since she woke up.


    As she walked through the passage of the second floor, she passed through several room, but did not see any sign of him.


    Liam was going through hisputer when he spotted Kate walking through the second floor. He knew she was in search if him, so he called her.


    ¡°I¡¯m here.¡± he said a bit loud.


    When she turned, she saw him obviously busy, so she walked in quietly.


    Her eyes widened in astonishment at the view of his room.


    ¡°I need to shower.¡± she managed to say after some time.


    ¡°Good then. That¡¯s the bathroom.¡± he pointed at a ss door.


    One couldn¡¯t see what was inside the bathroom, but someone inside the bathroom could see everything going on in the room. That was how some dial the door of the bathroom was.


    ¡°I will go then.¡± she said and walked into the bathroom with her belongings. She had to clean up as her body was already a mess.


    As he sat on the chair, he felt his manhood rise again with the need to prate a pussy. He then smirked.


    He then recalled Kate¡¯s curvy shape that was so sexy as he felt like he couldn¡¯t resist the temptation.


    He wanted to gave her over and over again.


    Kate was in the bathroom and under the shower when she sighted Liam walking towards her again.


    What does he want?


    On sighting his risen dick, she felt mesmerized.


    She was willing to feel it again. She then forgot that she was to meet with Anita soon.


    ¡°You are so irresistible Kate.¡± Liam muttered as he grabbed Kate¡¯s backside under the shower, wetting the only boxer he had on.


    In seconds, he pulled out his boxer and threw it to the floor and bent Kate, cing his dick into her already wet pussy from the back.


    Kate brain felt like it was already formatted as she moved her hips to make it so enticing and pleasurable. Liam couldn¡¯t believe how this woman was able to handle him effortlessly.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Even Rita never possessed the strength that Kate had. He felt so entertained as he thrust deep into her repeated with no intention of giving her a break.


    Kate was damn good when it came to sex, so she rolled her pussy, moving her hips seductively as she moaned loudly begging him to go harder and deeper.


    She was already losing her senses. Liam¡¯s cock was sorge and long that she felt like his cock was touching her brain from the inside.


    They went on three rounds and after that, Liam came out of the bathroom, got dressed and went downstairs as he prepared to drop Kate off.


    After reaching her peaks for about three times, it took Kate sometime toe back to her senses.


    ¡°Fuck!¡± she spat.


    She has taken long to get to Anita. That was never her n. Getting up, she quickly washed up and for dressed up.


    When she got to his room, she attempted to use some of his product, when her eyes caught something in a white transparent and sealed nylon. They were more than one if not uncountable.


    Without making any fuse, she randomly took one out if it and ced it inside her purse, and locked it.


    When she got downstairs, she was relieved to see that he was up and ready to take her home.


    ¡°I¡¯m ready,¡± she said to him.


    ¡°Good then,¡± he said and walked out, expecting her to do the same which she did, and then, he drove her home.


    ¡°Good night babe!¡± he said to her when they git to Anita¡¯s apartment.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t youing in?¡± Kate asked him.


    ¡°No, not today. I have some work to do after now.¡± he replied reluctantly.


    ¡°Alright babe. See youter.¡± she kissed a side of his lips an tried to pull away, but he held her back and kissed her roughly.


    She knew what this aggressive kiss meant.


    Before she could realize what was going on, he had already pulled her pant off in the car and was already fingering her in the private garage.


    ¡°Wh¡­ at if we get¡­ caught?¡± she managed to say.


    ¡°No one can see us from outside and no one can hear us from outside.¡± he made her know.


    She was surprised at first, then she got impressed.


    Since she was already at Anita¡¯s front four, she did not think of anything anymore as she turned and climbed Liam who¡¯s seat had been rolled backward.


    She spread her legs as she started riding his cock until they got to their G-spot. Only then did they stop. She then wire her underwear, kissed him goodnight and got down from the car while he drive off with satisfaction on his face.


    When she walked, she realised that her pussy was hot which helped her realized that Liam had battered it mercilessly.


    When she got into the house, she was surprised to see Andre sitting in the couch with Anita as they watched the television without saying a word to each other.


    ¡°Hi Andre. Hi Anita!¡± she said and walked straight inside while responding to their reply as well.


    Immediately age got in, she got into her bathroom and washed up. She then changed her clothes and came into the sitting room.


    ¡°I thought you said you were alone.¡±


    ¡°Andre just came in. I had to invite him toe have dinner with us.¡± Anita replied.


    ¡°That¡¯s cool.¡± she then said. She was already famished and needed to eat anyway.


    ¡°How was your day?¡± Andre asked her.

 Chapter 42: Drugs

    Chapter 42: Drugs


    ¡°My day was freaky good.¡± she replied and followed them to the dinning for dinner. It seemed as if they were waiting for her to return before eating.


    As they are, Kate remembered the white substance she took from Liam¡¯s room earlier.


    ¡°That reminds me, hold on!¡± she said and ran into the room to pick it up.


    When she returned, she dropped it in the table for them to see.


    ¡°Look, I found this in Liam¡¯s room earlier and got a but suspicious. Do you have any idea what this is?¡± she asked them.


    ¡°That¡¯s just a powder or probably something else. Luke a finished product yea.¡± Anita said as she kept eating her food like it¡¯s none of her business.


    Andre was already frozen.


    The shock was evident in his face as he wondered how Kate was able to hold this from the downtown of the City to this ce.


    ¡°Where did you say you found this?¡± he asked for rification.


    ¡°In Liam¡¯s room.¡± she responded.


    ¡°Who is Liam?¡± he asked.


    He didn¡¯t think he had heard of the name before.


    ¡°Umm, actually, Liam is Thomas¡¯ co-worker at the station. Not just that, he is Kate¡¯s man. They have been together for sometime and Thomas supports the rtionship because he rmended Liam to Kate even though the duo already met.¡± Anita exined the case to Andre.


    Andre couldn¡¯t believe his ears.


    ¡°You should quit that shit if a rtionship.¡± he spat.


    Anita and Kate froze.


    What???


    ¡°Andre why will you say that to her. There us invalid reason for her to do as you have just said.¡± Anita was the first to speak up after a long silence.


    ¡°This is an illegal drug. How many if this did you see?¡± he asked, facing Kate.


    Kate couldn¡¯t easily wrap her brain around what she was hearing as she tried to process his question.


    She then remembered that it was uncountable in his room and she only managed to pick one.


    ¡°It was more than one and almost uncountable.¡± she said.


    Anita was stunned.


    Really?


    ¡°Your boyfriend is a drug lord. You should run because your life is in danger. Also, keep mute and don¡¯t ask him about this else, you are gone.¡±


    ¡°You mean he would kill me? But why?¡±.


    ¡°Because your eyes has seen what it shouldn¡¯t have.¡±


    ¡°But¡­¡±


    ¡°No but, I can send security guards to you if you don¡¯t mind. As long as you are around Anita, I can do anything for you.¡± he promised.


    ¡°Oh my world! What did I get myself into?¡± Kate spat as tears rolled down her cheeks.


    ¡°Kate no. Don¡¯t do this.¡± Anita said and tried to console her.


    Their precious dinner was ruined just like that.


    Andre opened the nylon and analysed the content in it.


    ¡°The police are in demand for such people, because they are very harmful to our society. Since your man does drug, there is a high possibly that Thomas is involved in drugs but covering up with the fact that he is a police officer.¡± Andre stated all possibilities.


    Anita froze in shock.


    No way!


    Her man was a responsible policeman.


    She wasn¡¯t going to buy that idea.


    Andre looked at thedies ad he felt sorry for them. He shouldn¡¯t have been so blunt to them, but he had to. These women didn¡¯t deserve to be with such scums.


    ¡°Andre, I refuse to believe that Thomas is a drug lord. I have watched him save lives. He has helped the poor and he had also helped fight the biggest crimes in the City. He should be against drugs, because thest time I was on a mission to report a case, you were with me and I¡¯m sure you watched him fought again the drug syndicate. If someone could do those things, how else di you think he will be involved in such. All Thomas has ever wanted was for the citizens to tryst him and I am helping him achieve that because he deserves it.¡±


    Andre smiled. Seeing how naively she was speaking made him chuckle.


    It was obvious that Tho as was in her heart all day, but then again, he still had to try to open her mind.


    ¡°Yes, there¡¯s no doubt that he us doing those things, but have you ever thought about why he us so obsessed with the society¡¯s trust? If he is doing a great job and from his mind, why the he¡¯ll does he need validation? Her new tell you, he is doing that so that no one would suspect him. From the City¡¯s past record, it was once said that the Drug Lord in the Society seems to get away freely because they had partners in crime who is hiding under the cover of being from the force, but there was no proof to back it up. Only those that disobeyed the drug lords in disguise if police officers were caught, exposed and sentenced.¡± he said and decided to stop there for now.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    He knew that no matter what he said, Anita would never believe that her life was at stake as long as there was no strong evidence to back it up.


    He wanted to protect her. He loved her!


    He decided that he was going to instruct his Assistant to help investigate Thomas thoroughly. Thest time, he only asked to know if he was a good person without having to pick important details, but this time, he was going to be merciless with his finding. He trusted his team to help him do that.


    After some moments, he decided to help settle thedies in.


    When he felt like they could finally be okay on their own, he attempted to leave, but was held back.


    ¡°You really don¡¯t have to go Andre. It¡¯ste already. Please stay!¡± Anita said to him.


    Andre became stunned.


    Did she just ask him to stay?


    Her eyes were already so red due to tears, all thanks to that monster¡­

 Chapter 43: Dark Night

    Chapter 43: Dark Night


    That night was undoubtedly one of Anita¡¯s worst night. She tried so hard to wrap her head around the fact. She knew her man was not in good terms with Andre, but she knew Andre had no reason to lie to her.


    The next morning, she prepared and made breakfast for herself, Kate and Andre, but unexpectedly, Thomas made appearance in her house.


    When she saw him, she froze, while Kate freaked out a but.


    They were already scared, but just like Kate and Anita had discussed in the roomst night, they had to act like they knew nothing.


    Kate had begged Andre to give her back the drug as she nned on returning it.


    She refused to let him know that she already knew about him. She needed to give herself time to clear her brain and decide on her own to leave him. Ever since they met, they had had sex countless times.


    Yes, he might be a drug lord, but he could still be in live with her and would never hurt her. That was her belief.


    ¡°Good morning! It feels great to meet you again after what seems like forever to me.¡± she said, trying to make the soft for everyone to be in.


    ¡°I disappeared for what seemed like forever, so you decided to bring in another dick?¡± he said, throwing a re at Andre.


    Anita froze


    Was he mad at her?


    Andre looked at Anita and saw how tensed she already was. He didn¡¯t wish to make things bad for her so he stood up and left with pride to their surprise.


    After he left, like nothing happened, Thomas walked towards Anita with smiles on his face as he hugged her happily.


    ¡°How are you baby! Morning!¡± he said to her and hurriedly sat down to eat.


    Anita felt lost a second, and in the next moment, she could be seen dishing out food for Thomas.


    That morning, the trip had a warm breakfast and dispersed to run the day.


    Anita made her way to her office, Thomas made his way to his home while Kate made her way to Liam¡¯s home to return what she had picked up.


    Thomas had an important guest to attend to at home. Lord Lin!


    If someone had told him that his Master would take his precious time toe to his own home, he would never have believed it.


    ¡°Hello Master!¡± he said as he bowed and led him to the sitting room.


    Lord Lin nodded his head and sat down, scanning the home he just entered as he got served some red wine.


    ording to their tradition, the owner of the apartment where they are in must have to taste the first thing that was being brought to the table which Thomas did not hesitate to do asap.


    ¡°How is my business going?¡± Lord Lin said in his deep voice.


    ¡°It¡¯s going well. It¡¯s such a cool game to y. Guess what? Our biggest client from Italy just ced another order. This business is gonna make us some hot cash.¡±


    ¡°That makes sense.¡± Lord Lin replied as he nodded his head in satisfaction.


    ¡°More money we want, more money we will get.¡± he said with a grin.


    Downtown in New York City, Kate had just arrived in Liam¡¯s home and was waiting for the security guard to verify from his boss if he should let her in.


    Kate wasn¡¯t having it, but she had no choice but to stand there.


    In the name of riches, a man be embarrassing her like she was nothing. The fact alone got her really pissed.


    Soon, the guard came and let her in unapologetic of the time he spent.


    Kate walked in as she red at the guard. This was seen by Liam as he gave a smile from the balcony.This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    He was in the middle of taking some amount of drugs when his guard had informed him of the arrival of ady. When he checked who it was, he was surprised but not surprised.


    Sipping the alcoholic wine he just picked from his room, he called out to her from upstairs.


    ¡°Kate!¡± he called.


    Kate looked up towards the direction as goosebumps grew all over her body.


    She didn¡¯t know what to do about the situation, but she did know she needed to be alright.


    ¡°Hello babe!¡± she replied as her worry disappeared.


    She stood as she watched him use the external star toe close to her.


    ¡°I love you babe! Thank you for always surprising be with your presence.¡± he said as he touched his beards.


    ¡°Well if I don¡¯t, who will?¡± she replied and the got in.


    ¡°I want to be in your room. It¡¯s so cool.¡± she said when he tried to make her sit on the couch in her living room.


    ¡°Oh really? It¡¯s fine then. Come over!¡± he said and led her upstairs.


    ¡°Thanks babe!¡± she said and jumped on his bed.


    His bed was so soft. It could make your hard sleep so soft.


    ¡°I will get you something to eat.¡± he then said and walked out to the kitchen to prepare food for her.


    Immediately he walked out, Kate stood up and went to the four to be sure that he was indeed leaving and when she saw him reach downstairs, she quickly brought out the item and ced it back at the spot where she brought it from, but seeing that the amount of the drugs were lower than the past day, she held her chest like she was in pain.


    Liam¡¯s life was indeed messing with her head.


    She needed to chill.


    He came backter with variety of foods which they enjoyed, had fun, and by the time they were dine, she made her way home.


    Sass Media Home


    Anita already had a hectic day at work. By the time she was done reporting, she picked up her bag and left the office before Andre woulde around. She didn¡¯t want that.

 Chapter 44: Officer Eric i

    Chapter 44: Officer Eric i


    She had spent her whole day focusing on her work, trying to take her attention away from all the negatives around her.


    What mattered to her was that she was well and Anita was doing pretty fine.


    After clearing her desk, she found her way out of the office.


    Outside of Sass Media home, Anita sighted Andreing her way, in order to avoid him, she quickly hailed a taxi and told the driver to speed up which he did immediately.


    Andre calmed down when he saw that she had already gone home.


    He wanted to give her a lift home with the car Cass had brought to him, but seeing her sped off, it was clear that she was avoiding him.


    ¡°Master, we can go now.¡± Cass reported to him and they then made their way.


    The cab Anita had hailed stopped abruptly, making Anita¡¯s brows squeezed unexpectedly.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong man?¡± she asked immediately.


    ¡°I think something is wrong with the car ma¡¯am. Give me sometime to fix it.¡± the driver replied and got down from the vehicle to check what was wrong with the car. Unexpectedly they got surrounded by unknown men and before Anita could get careful, she cked out.


    Andre had been having a bad feeling ever since he left the media house, but he couldn¡¯t pinpoint where it was from. Lifting his head, he decided to open the window for fresh air when his eyes spotted the same car Anita had entered in his very eyes few moment ago.


    ¡°Stop the car!¡± he told Cass.


    The car stopped and he got down.


    When be headed to the car, he found out that there was nobody in the vehicle a if was unexpectedly empty.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Where did she go?¡± he asked himself.


    He was sure she had entered this vehicle. He had studied the car te number even though he didn¡¯t felt like he needed to. That was how smart he used to be. Now she was away, he didn¡¯t know what else to do that to call the police immediately.


    ¡°Sir, is everything okay?¡± Cass asked him when he got there.


    ¡°I think Anita is missing. I just called the police.¡±


    Few minutes after he called the police, they arrived and closed the crime scene.


    ¡°Sir, we will investigate this. I hope you get patient enough and let us do our job.¡± and officer said.


    ¡°Sir, lets go home, I¡¯m sure the police won¡¯t fail us.¡± Cass said this time.


    Agreeing, he got back into his car and they made their way home.


    ¡°How is the investigation with Thomas going and howe he is not among the set of policemen that came to rescue?¡± Andre asked Cass.


    ¡°Sir, from where I have gotten right now, I think Thomas only go for rescue in case which nned with his men. That way, he won¡¯t just go alone, but will input the media so that the world can watch him do his thing. In all of the cases that he had handled recently, the media had been involved. It got serious after Anita got a job at Sass Media Home.¡±


    Andre nodded his head. He was obviously impressed by his Assistant¡¯s findings.


    Thomas seemed to be ying cool games with Anita and it seemed like it was working well for him.


    ¡°Keep carrying out your investigations. I would do anything to rat him out. He has no idea whom he is messing with.¡± Andre said aloud and faced the window.


    Over there in the City¡¯s Police Station, a filended on Thomas desk from the hands of one of his men and he froze.


    Whenever something like that happened, it meant that it would be a serious case, and this time, there was no exception.


    ¡°Thomas, there is fire on the mountain.¡± I am said and walked out, leaving the file there for him.


    Thomas gazed at it repeatedly, not knowing how to act. Finally, he picked it up and opened it.


    Thomas had never expected what he saw in the documents as his eyes flew open with shock on his face.


    He sat there dumbstruck, clearly unaware how to react to the sudden news.


    This was almost unbelievable. He was there when someone had called for help. On a norm, he would have gone, but he had never really had the public¡¯s interest at hand else it had to do with something that would be beneficial to him. He sent his juniors to go handle the situation while he n out his next move against his enemies.


    But seeing this, he was disappointed and felt fucked up.


    Anita???


    He still found it had to believe the report.


    Shit! He spat within himself.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    He then stood up immediately and ran to her apartment.


    Kate was already fed up of waiting for her friend for dinner, so she decided to eat, in hopes that she was in the hands of Thomas.


    As she ate, she heard the door bell rang. d that Anita finally remembered home, she quickly opened the door and was met with only Thomas standing at the doorstep.


    Kate was in wonder. What was he doing there in the apartment if he wasn¡¯t with Anita?


    Packing her hair into a ponytail, she came out and looked around thepound for some minutes, but there was no sign of her girlfriend.


    Chuckling, ¡°Thomas, where is Anita? Don¡¯t tell me you came here to pack some of her belongings because you want to have her for a few more days. Don¡¯t you realize that she has got a girlfriend? That girlfriend is me. And you¡¯re trying to keep her away from me.¡± she said facing him with and in serious face.


    If she had done this on a normal day, he probably would haveughed off it, but now, he felt confused, not knowing how to react.


    Seeing his reaction, Kateughed and tried to soften the air, but it clearly didn¡¯t look funny to him.

 Chapter 45: Officer Eric ii

    Chapter 45: Officer Eric ii


    ¡°Come on now, I was only joking. Where is Anita?¡± she asked, but on taking another look at Tho as, she could tell that something had gone wrong.


    But what could it be?


    Was Anita safe? Did the had a fight and she chooses to run off? Why was he looking guilty?


    Blinking her eyes, she though about a lot.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk!¡± he finally said.


    Talk? What does he mean?


    Yes they would talk in fact, they were already talking, so there was no need to ask.


    She then shut the door tight and sat outside of the door, looking at him like telling him she was ready for conversation outside the house.


    ¡°Anita got into the hands of one of my enemies who are clearly trying to get back at me. I hope you can be patient with I and the rest of the police men as we get to bring her home. Rest assured, she will be saved and that I have to promise you.¡± he then told her.


    Kate froze.


    Anita? Trouble? Enemies?


    She tried her best to figure it out in her brain for minutes, but before she could know what she was to do, she already found herself wailing and grabbing Thomas by his shirt.


    ¡°You are messing with me and what I can possibly do to you Thomas. How can you dare out of your mouth tell me that my sister is missing. I can¡¯t believe a shut you say, please provide me with my sister.¡± she wailed, not giving him a breathing space.


    In as much as he was not in love with Anita, at the least, she already a known reporter. If word got out, he might need to exin himself. He was already feeling pissed up by the attitude Kate was showing him, but he had to endure it for the sake of his image. He knew how crazy Kate could get.


    ¡°I need you to be calm Kate. We will bring her back safely. She was my woman too and I valued her.¡± he told her, kate caught in between the lines of his words.


    Was he now referring to what he had with anita as past tense?


    Oh Gid, please save anita and I won¡¯t hesitate to tell her about the bastard she had been dating for sometime now.


    ¡°Thomas, you will have to exin yourself. Did you break up with her before the incident? Howe you are referring to her as a past tense? Did you choose to harm her because she told you she was no longer interested in you? Answer me Thomas! Oh! I have lost all my respect for you. You never loved my sister. You have only been pretending. I don¡¯t trust you anymore.¡± she said to him in realization as she grabbed him, unwilling to let go.


    Thomas was already losing his patience towards Kate. He had his countless women before and this one might not be an exception if she kept nagging him that badly.


    Thankfully for both, Andre visited the home with his Assistant.


    The moment they saw the drama that was unfolding, Cass quickly ran held Kate, cing her on his chest to calm her down. This scene didn¡¯t leave Thomas gaze.


    ¡°She has a boyfriend. I just hoped to get you informed.¡± Thomas spat out of point.


    Cass and Kate froze in shock.


    What was more important?N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    ¡°When I call you a beast, just know I am more serious and that mean it.¡± Kate spat. She didn¡¯t know how to cry anymore and just wanted to eat him up if looks could viciously kill.


    ¡°What if I call you a cheat? Haven¡¯t you seen how strict I use to be with Anita? I¡¯m sure Liam would be really pissed to see how youyfortably on another man¡¯s chest.¡±


    ¡°Well, I don¡¯t fucking care. Look,¡± she said, turned to Cass and gave him a french kiss. ¡°Now, fucking get me back my sister.¡± she said and stormed inside.


    Cass was beyond shocked.


    Andre stood frozen and it was different for Thomas.


    They hadn¡¯t seen someone so bold to this extent.


    Cass cheeks were already so red. His face could tell that he actually enjoyed the kiss, but dared not speak out.


    ¡°Shameless bitch!¡± Thomas spat.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s you who is shameless. You couldn¡¯t even protect your woman. How worthy do you think you are of her, if she can¡¯t be safe? A whole police officer of the state who has been highly looked up to. If word gets out, you should know what would be left of you.¡± Cass retorted brutally.


    Thomas froze.


    Cass felt satisfied with his reaction. How could he dare call her names? He was freaky dumb to think Anita and Kate would be left alone. If only he knew who he was up against!


    Thomas walked out of them and entered his car feeling a bit defeated.


    Immediately he started his car, he sped off.


    Kate was already sobbing bitterly in the chair when Andre and Cass walked in. She had tried to call Liam just now, but he was not picking up. The matter had clearly been submitted to the desk of the police and it would be a lie that Liam wasn¡¯t aware of it.


    Why was he avoiding her then?


    Was he tired of her, or he just never loved her enough to want to stick by her through hard times.


    She was already feeling so alone in her world.


    Anita was not there and even her boyfriend has failed to stick with her.


    Picking up her phone, she called Liam repeatedly and even texted him, but to no avail.


    When she felt like she was done for in this life, Cass went close to her and brought her to his chest to console her.


    When he ced his hand on her forehead, Kate felt her body rxed.


    She had never felt that way in her history of being close to a men her whole life.

    Chapter 46: Officer Eric iii


    She felt like she was home.


    Closing her eyes, she didn¡¯t know when she dozed off.


    ¡°Master, do we leave her here?¡± Cass raised his head and asked Andre, waiting on his nextmand.


    ¡°Keep her in her room. We will spend the night here in their sitting room.


    ¡°Okay Master!¡± he replied and took Kate in, cing her on the very soft bed they had.


    Picking up a nket, he covered her and came out of the bedroom.


    ¡°Master, is there anything you would like me to do for you?¡± he asked again.


    ¡°I¡¯m cool. Just rest. It¡¯s been a hectic day. We will continue tomorrow.¡± Andre said and shut his eyes on the sofa.


    Few minutester, after Cass had locked the door and ensure everything was in order, he thenid on the other side of the sofa and slept off.


    Thomas was beyond pissed. If this had nothing to do with him, he would have deserted her to die if necessary, but this involved nit just him, but his syndicate. They had obviously kidnapped her to torment them.


    He drove around the city with pain in his heart as he thought about what Kate did to him and what Cass had said.


    The audacity of Cass to say such a thing. He had never seen Cass in Anita¡¯s apartment, but could tell that he had came with Andre whom he hated with all his organs.


    He felt defeated as he toured the city for hours beforeing to a stop.


    When he stopped, he took a deep breath and looked outside of the car to see where ha hadnded himself.


    Smiling, he looked at the bar ahead and drove into their parking lot.


    Soon, he was already inside and drinking different hot drinks.


    By the time Anita could get back to her senses, it was already sote. Opening her eyes, she couldn¡¯t see a single thing. She was clearly in a deal so it but why?


    She had no idea what she was doing in this ce.


    Despite the ce being so dark, she could still detect that faint light that was showing from outside of the room she was in and when she turned back to look, she saw that it was the moon above.


    Touching her head, she felt her sweat and then a body fell on her ankle.


    In shock, she freaked out and then looked closely. It was the figure of a man. The figure kinda looked like someone she had seen earlier.


    It was then she remembered what happened to her on her way back from work. This was the driver that had carried her, but were they the only ones in this dark room?


    She was still so young and had little to no enemies, so why did they kidnap her? She had not gotten into any sort of fight with anyone recently.


    So many things went through her mind until she remembered the dangers of being a reporter.


    Could it be because she reports about crimes? Could it be that she had offended someone without knowing?


    Anita didn¡¯t know what to think anymore as she started sobbing.


    She couldn¡¯t cry out. She felt that she should be safe that¡¯s if she would live to see the next day. She prayed and crude as she wallowed in self pity.


    When she came to New York, she had only ever wanted to report about famous celebrities and entertainment lives but that was until she met Thomas. He changed her decisions and led her through another route.


    Anita wondered if he knew she was missing and if he would evere to her rescue.


    If only she had not chooses to avoid Andre, maybe she would be safely sleeping on her bed right now.


    Anita felt strong regret.


    She could feel that she missed a lot outside of the room.


    She missed Andre and she missed Kate. She missed her people at home and wished that she was speaking to them every minutes after shended even though she knew that the family she had at her hometown were incredibly understanding.


    All though her moment, she never thought much about Thomas. Soon, she feel asleep and slept deeply.


    On the other side, Thomas was already so drunk without caring about his image as he walked out of the bar and drove to a spot were runs girls were packed for business. He dragged one of them into his car and drove off to his mansion.


    He didn¡¯t even know if he had ever brought Anita in and immediately he got him with the sex worker, he took off his belt and let her do her job.


    Thedy he brought home was already used to Thomas as she had always been hired by him toe service him sexually.


    Packing get long red hair, she drew his uniform pant off his legs and unbuttoned his shirt.


    Sitting him up, she took out the singlet and his boxers before she positioned him well and picked up his dick.


    He was in the mood while still driving, but now, he needed her to do the work which she did.


    She sucked his dick till it became hard and after that, she sat on him to ride him. The feelings he got kinda washed out the effects of the drink he had taken and then he got into full action.


    Thomas dud that everyday, especially after he had gone out to see Anita. He was not ready to deal with her innocent face as he detest it, so it was a regr thing for him to pick up anydy he wants and poured his frustration on her.


    Turning her to the position he wanted, he thrust deep into her without mercy. The same went for hours until he was satisfied. He then cked out.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    The next morning when he woke up, what greeted his eyes was the right of thedy he had picked the night before.

 Chapter 47: Officer Eric iv

    Chapter 47: Officer Eric iv


    She was preparing to leave.


    ¡°I need some BJ¡± he demanded.


    Without questioning, she dropped her makeup and climbed the bed.


    Thomas looked at her obviously in lust as he admired her boobs and hugeps that was in full disy.


    To make things easier for him, he took the bed sheet off him, showing therge cock he had below. It was already rising as expected.


    She then picked it up and held it to her lips as she brought out her tongue to tease it.


    She ced it into her mouth and them moved back and forth repeatedly until he released. She then used her tongue to gather all the semen, teased the tip of his penis and swallowed it all as she continued sucking it.


    Thomas was feeling the fun as he pressed her boobs tight.


    When she was done sucking his dick, she then bent on his bed and opened her pussy to give him ess. She knew how he had always liked it.


    Thomas smiled. He had forgotten what happenedst night as he focused on what he had to do. He needed to pull out all his stress as Anita was not worth all the trouble he feltst night.


    Thrusting into her, he unleashed all his struggles and by the time he was done, it was almost noon. He then went into the bathroom to freshen up.


    Anita woke up with a fever. Shivering, she looked at the door of the room, then the man by her side. She saw his face clearly that morning.


    ¡°Why are we here?¡± she asked him innocently.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. I should be asking who you are. You may have offended someone without knowing. I am just a driver and I am a nobody, so it should be from your end.¡± he told her as he bent his head in confusion. What he didn¡¯t understand was why he was taken alongside the passenger he carried.


    Soon, two masked men opened the door and walked in.


    ¡°Hey you!¡± one of them called out.


    Anita lifted her head in shock, but in the next minute, they grabbed the nan next to her and left her there.


    Did they take him to hurt him or to free him? She asked herself.


    What would they do to her now?


    After some minutes, though she had expected them toe for her, but they never did.


    Thomas reported to work after his affairs at home.


    ¡°How is everything going?¡± Liam asked him.


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure who is responsible but I hope they call soon.¡± Thomas said.


    He knew whoever it is that kidnapped her was targeting him. Sadly he had so many enemies and found it hard to detect who did it.


    While pondering about it on his desk, his phone rang.


    ¡°Hello!¡± he said as he ced the sound on recording.


    ¡°I need you to supply as many drugs as you can in 24 hours and ce them in our designed location. When you get there, I will tell you where to go pick up your woman.¡±


    ¡°Fuck you Shawn!¡± Thomas spat.


    He just found out who did this to him.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Laughing, ¡°I¡¯m sure you want to live a carefree life free of dragging.  If you don¡¯t, I wille after things you love. Like your fame, your clients, your syndicate, ¡­ how about that?¡± Shawn replied him.


    Thomas felt his life was already fucked up.


    But he had to do this.


    After the call, he sent a text to his group chat.


    But then they replied asap. The group went frenzy. They had never expected to see such a next on a new day, but he managed the situation and got them to work.


    Kate woke up the next morning with a strong headache. It was like she had a dreamst night.


    Coughing, she held her head and walked to the kitchen to get some water.


    ¡°Take!¡± Cass appeared with a ss of water as he handed it to her.


    She froze.


    ¡°Thank you!¡± she said and sipped the water.


    After clearing her throat, she looked up at the man in front of her.


    ¡°Good morning! I do t know you, but Thank you so much for being by my side sincest night. I appreciate it.¡± she said to him.


    Cass looked impressed. This was almost different from what he sawst night. The woman in front of him looked quite brilliant and of course beautiful.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. I hope you¡¯re alright.¡±


    ¡°Yes I am. I just missed my girlfriend.¡± she said to him.


    For some reasons, she felt so free with Cass.


    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± she asked innocently.


    ¡°Cass!¡±


    ¡°ok I am Kate! Nice meeting you!¡±


    ¡°You too. I will make you breakfast. Just rx.¡± he told her and walked into the kitchen while she watched him. Soon, she went back into her room.


    Andre had things to do in his apartment, so he gave some instruction to Cass and left the duo alone.


    Few hourster, Thomas found his way to an undergroundboratory where he produces his substance.


    ¡°Sir, we need another scientist. The one we have can it finish what we are expected to within the timeframe required.¡± his worker reported.


    ¡°Then get another.¡± he ordered.


    ¡°Sure, we tried to get Doctor Q, but he refused, saying he would never be a part of this.¡±


    Thomas froze for a second, then smiled.


    ¡°That would be only in his grave.¡± he then said and walked away.


    Luke Private Hospital


    Thomas sat inside a office as he waited on the doctor to show up.


    ¡°Please be patient with us Sir, the doctor will soon be here.¡± a nurse said and left.


    Thomas nodded his head as he adjusted his face mask.


    Soon, the doctor arrived as expected.


    ¡°Hello Mister! How may I help you?¡± Doctor Q said as he brought out his hand for a handshake.


    Thomas nodded his head and reciprocated his gesture. He was sure thus was the damn doctor.

 Chapter 48: Officer Eric v

    Chapter 48: Officer Eric v


    ¡°I need your help Doctor. For something very important.¡± he said.


    ¡°May I know what it is?¡± the doctor replied.


    Thomas then ced his can¡¯t in his pocket and brought out a substance containing drug and handed it over to the doctor.


    Doctor Q quickly opened it and before he could examined the substance, Thomas picked some and floured it on his face. Due to Thomas speed, the doctor didn¡¯t see the chance to react and by then it was already damnte as Thomas forced drugs down his throat.


    Doctor Q copsed helplessly!


    Three men then jumped into the room from the window with arge bag as they bundled the doctor and took him out of the room through the back if the building along with Thomas.


    By the time the Doctor got back to his senses, it was alreadyte for as heid on the floor in the underground building. Right in front of arge group of syndicate.


    ¡°What the hell am I doing here?¡± he asked as he looked them all in the faces. These were strange people aside from two men who had approached him earlier with a crazy offer that he rejected.


    Could that be the reason he was there?


    Oh God!


    He felt fucked up.


    ¡°I am not going to do that, and I thought we already concluded? Why are you guys so desperate? Where am I? Take me out of here, I have patients to attend to.¡± he said very loudly thinking outsiders would hear him.


    None if them said anything to him as they expected him to already k ow what to do.


    Doctor Q clearly didn¡¯t know where he was as he started screaming for help.


    Thomas had already lost his patient for this Doctor as he packed another substance in his left hand and poured it allover his face.


    He then took another one and forced it down his throat. The doctor froze in shock. His heart burned as he cried secretly.This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    He knew the kind of harmful substance that he was being forced to take in.


    But it was toote for him as these men were more powerful than him.


    In two hours time, he was able to wake up with the help of injections.


    When he woke up, he discovered that he had lost his memory.


    He then started hid life afresh by producing drugs for the syndicate.


    Thomas smiled at his way of handling things. He then wished them good luck in their process and made his way out.


    As he walked out of the underground building that was topped with a burial home, he looked around to see if there were anyone in the area then got into his car and sped off.


    When he was out of sight, a man then got out of a building corner with disgust clearly all over his face.


    He had been following all their steps and had been uncovering so many things about this set of people.


    With the way they handle things, he felt terrified for any victim they hade across.


    How cruel!


    After her breakfast with Cass, both of them doesn¡¯t time in knowing each other. Kate said everything about herself, while Cass introduced himself as Andre¡¯s half brother which he didn¡¯t necessarily lie about.


    He was adopted, but was so loyal that he wanted to assist Andre and call him Master.


    As they spoke, there came a knock on the door.


    ¡°Who is there?¡± Kate said after Cass stopped her from hurrying to unlock the door.


    ¡°Open!¡±


    Kate froze.


    She recognized the voice. What the hell was he doing there?


    She hesitated for a moment then made her way to open the door, after all, she wasn¡¯t doing anything wrong.


    ¡°Wee!¡± she said after opening the door and walking in.


    Liam walked into the house with pride.


    When he saw Cass seatedfortably, he froze on the spot.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± he asked withouting closer.


    Kate was stunned!


    ¡°Babe rx ande in first. A lot has happened¡­¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t ask you to talk.¡± he said as he demanded for answer from Cass.


    He never nned to appear in this ce, but after Thomas told him something, he stood up and made it a mandatory to visit Kate.


    If was to be a cheating spouse, it¡¯d rather be him than anydy around him. She has no right to cheat on him.


    ¡°If you will be so rude, then you don¡¯t deserve to know¡­¡±


    Before he could finish his statement, Liam pounced on him, but who was Cass? He was Prince Andre¡¯s right hand man.


    The men exchanged blows like warriors, terrifying Kate who was present with them.


    What surprised Kate was that despite all the fight, Cass made sure he protected her by nit letting. The fight get to her, while Liam threw punches without bothering about bullets getting to her.


    Kate had never experienced such a thing in her life before where men exchanged blows because of her, a woman.


    How could Liam do this to her? She felt so embarrassed to speak up or even try to separate them.


    After they were done, no one went down, but Liam suffered a burn on a part if his cheeks.


    Kate found it hard to believe that even with Liam¡¯s energetic body, Cass was able to do justice with his hands.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe you came here just to fight your fellow man. How could you do this to me?¡± Kate queried.


    ¡°Shut the fuck up Kate!¡± Liam spat in a loud voice.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t dare to shut her up else, I will disfigure your god forsaken face.¡± Cass retorted. He clearly had no patience for Liam.


    Kate became speechless.


    ¡°So it¡¯s clear now. You are cheating on me Kate.¡± Liam said, not paying any attention to Cass.


    ¡°I am not cheating on you. You don¡¯t know him, why are you judging. Hear me out first.¡± she managed to say but Liam wasn¡¯t interested in listening.

    ¡°I don¡¯t fucking care about you Kate. You are nothing but a fucking whore. You let this dick fight me? You must be sick.¡± he growled in anger.


    ¡°It¡¯s not my fault that you aren¡¯t listening. You started all this. Okay, how about you go ande backter? You need to breathe. Same as me!¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t fucking leave here until I am done with this fool.¡± she said and tried to pounce on Cass but ended up falling hard on the floor.¡±N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    So unbelievable!


    The drama looked so unreal for Kate because what the fuck??!!!


    She was so sure that this was caused by Thomas. He must have said a lot to Liam.


    But she was innocent.


    She did nothing and wished he could understand her point.


    ¡°I really don¡¯t know what you take me for, but I am not as cheap as you think Liam. He was just here yesterday, what makes you think something must have gone wrong?¡± she asked innocently.


    ¡°That¡¯s because I know you. We didn¡¯t see past the second day I met you without passing through a hot sex or have you forgotten? So it¡¯s very possible that you could have repeated the same shit with this nigga.¡± he spat.


    Kate froze.


    Really Liam?


    She became speechless.


    ¡°What makes you think I would do such? Our was because I was attracted. Whenever Ie close to you, I get so attracted that I want you inside me, but I didn¡¯t understand why. I guess I was in love with you that¡¯s why, but how could you me me?¡± she said, almost in tears.


    Laughing, ¡°well that¡¯s because I made you sniff a substance unconsc¡­.¡± he said and quickly paused after realizing his mistake.


    The whole room fell into a deep silence. A single pin dropped at that point could be heard very clearly.


    Kate stomach dropped as she felt dizzy at the same time.


    What the hell did she just hear?


    She tried to exined to herself that she had misheard his sentence.


    No! No!! No!!!


    Tears rolled out her eyes effortlessly, with her heart aching profusely.


    She felt like her world was gone.


    It was one thing to be involved in drugs, and it was another thing to use it against her like how could he dare do that to her? She thought.


    Cass quickly got his emotions in check as he quickly held her to prevent her from losing her bnce.


    In a second thought, Kate looked up and was looking so strong and unfazed.


    This look alone stunned Liam as he tried to say something but was quickly stopped by her as she raised her palm, shutting him up.


    ¡°You have done what feels right by you, but it¡¯s a shame to you because look at me. I am strong and I don¡¯t care, but I am grateful that you personally confessed to your doings. Now I know the answers to my questions¡­¡±


    ¡°You caused all these Kate, we can make up. Let¡¯s just forget about the past and move on. This dick right here is too small of a reason to end our love.¡± he said as he stuttered in frustration, causing him to furrow his brows.


    ¡°Forget? About what exactly?¡± Kate asked. She had never seen him this way before. The liam she knew was careless with confidence, but she didn¡¯t care anymore.


    Everything was like a joke to her.


    ¡°Let¡¯s forget about everything. I forgive you. Let¡¯s move on.¡±


    ¡°No way liam! How could you dare? You are my biggest mistake ever and I regret having something with you. After everything Liam, this is how you choose to treat me.¡±


    ¡°Kate listen¡­¡±


    ¡°Keep shut Liam. You are a beast. So all this while, you had me doing those things? How despicable! This rtionship is over! You can go to hell!¡± she said and walked into the room in tears.


    Cass had already lost his patience long time ago, so he pushed stunned Liam out of the house and locked the door before going into the room to console Kate.


    It would be so difficult for her because by the time he entered inside, she had already locked the door.


    Cass had no choice but to squat at the door as he begged her to open the door for him toe in.


    Liam ego was hurt so badly as he had reached home. He angrily flipped almost everything in his living area.


    The audacity to actually breakup with him! He thought.


    In truth, no one had ever broken up with him.


    He had always been the one to break up with a girl, but look, she actually did and in his presence.


    He swore to get back at her, but how would he do it?


    On the other side in Anita¡¯s apartment.


    Kate¡¯s heart was boiling in anger as she swore to make Liam face thew for putting in illegal substance in her food and drink and for making her sniff in illegal substance unconsciously.


    But on a second thought, she didn¡¯t know how she would do it. She had no evidence of him admitting to it and she doesn¡¯t want to get him into trouble.


    ¡°What will I do?¡± she whispered in tears and fell asleep.


    Cass knew she had fallen asleep when he didn¡¯t hear anything from her again. He then went to prepare to cook her a good dinner before she would wake up.


    Anita couldn¡¯t believe that there would be a point in her life when she would never be able to eat even when she would be hungry. It was such a shame that she was been treated like this by her fellow human but there was a question in her mind.


    Why was Thomas yet to find her? There is no hidden ce in New York City as anything and anyone could be found anywhere else he has a hand in this. That¡¯s with the help of the strong security the state provided it citizens with.


    But how?

 Chapter 50: Officer Eric vii

    Chapter 50: Officer Eric vii


    Kate finally woke up and managed to open the door, but when she came out, she didn¡¯t see anyone.


    She froze.


    Was she home alone?


    She got scared.


    She couldn¡¯t believe she was already so scared for her life because of Liam because she could now feel that he actually lied about loving her.


    Cass got out of the kitchen only to find Kate carried away in her thought. He smiled and walked to her.


    ¡°Hey!¡± he said as he touched her shoulders.


    Kate jumped up, obviously startled, but when she saw that it was Cass, she came down, holding her chest in relief.


    Cass froze.


    What the heck was going on?


    He had never thought that she would ever be this affected.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± he asked her.


    Pissed, she didn¡¯t say anything, but it didn¡¯t take long for her to hug him as she sobbed.


    ¡°I¡¯m scared.¡± she sobbed.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to be. I am here.¡± he replied her with a tight hug.


    ¡°But my life is at stake. Listen Cass, I need you to help me since Anita is yet to be found. Please I need to sue Liam. He ced my life at risk and I am so damn scared. What if I had died due to those things he made me do. This guy made me crazy for sex. I knew something was not right, so I need to do something right now.¡± she pleaded with Cass.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m here when ever you need me.¡± Cass had no option but to give her hope and strength.


    It was already midnight by the time Anita heard the four being opened. She sat up immediately with her eyes facing the floor. She had never thought of looking up at them. She was damn scared.


    When they walked in, the leader asked them to bring her out which they did by grabbing her forcefully out of the room.


    Their fingers rugged deep into her skinned as she hissed in pain. She couldn¡¯t speak out or plead and that really impressed the kidnappers.


    She was unlike those that would not keep their mouth shut thereby almost ruining things for them.


    In the next minute, Anita found herself in a vehicle with them.


    Where were they taking her to?


    Home?


    Had the police threatened them?


    She couldn¡¯t process everything that was passing through her mind, so she fell asleep again.


    When they got to their location, they hid her in a trash can very far away and behind their vehicle after they stepped down.


    They then left her there and walked forward toplete their deal with Thomas.


    But Thomas and his men could not be found to process their deal


    Have they been tricked?


    It was already midnight and no one could be found outside except them.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe my life. Oh God!¡± she cried silently.


    Thomas had long finished with his people in this underground factory.


    He had apuded them for being able to produce an understandable amount of drugs for his enemies. He felt happy that he was able to have Doctor Q to himself.


    It also seemed to him that Doctor Q would never ever dream or think about leaving theboratory as he thought about making him stay there till he is no longer needed.


    He knew that the syndicate holding Anita hostage would be waiting and were probably already loading their patience with them.


    He stopped about ten minutes far away from the said location and ordered his men to deliver the drugs at the exact location and bring his girlfriend in exchange.


    There was no way he would get there. He was aware of how many enemies he had and was very unwilling to risk it all.


    When they got there, they saw signs of some men with their guns from a distance, so they stopped and got their bullets ready.


    It was an eye for an eye.


    Since they seeded in capturing someone important to their second inmand, they should also be ready because the next second could be their turn and it could turn out real bad for them.


    Some of them alighted from the car and offloaded three casket that contained illegal drugs.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    They pushed it to the spot they were supposed to and waited for few minutes so that their opponent would receive it, but in the next minute, they didn¡¯t see any sign of them anymore.


    The whole syndicate they felt their presence earlier was no where to be be found anymore and it felt like a joke to them.


    Pissed they called Thomas to report it to him.


    ¡°I think they are mad.¡± he replied as he chewed his gum, ¡°well since they are not serious, bring back out goods. If I were to sell those quality goods, it would worth quite a fortune.¡± he continued and stopped talking when he realized that no one was on the other end.


    ¡°What the fuck!¡± he said and ended it to leave the environment with his Car.


    On the other side, Thomas people stood dumbstruck as they felt floored. They knew it was over for them as the police surrounded them in group. The amount of police men who surrounded them could not be counted even if they took their time to at that point.


    But how?


    How did they get there?


    As they looked on in shock, a tall and huge young man walked in with ride. His aura smelled honesty, discipline and dignity. As he came close, they eyes widened more in shock.


    Officer Eric?


    No way!


    How did this happen?


    Their syndicate had used their connection to ensure that this man leaved the public¡¯s sight so as to gain space for Thomas, but what were they seeing now?


    Was he not dead?


    Retired?


    Out of the continent?


    So many different stories had been told about him when he left, but no one knew the real truth including the syndicate that wanted him out of their way.

 Chapter 51: Shock

    Chapter 51: Shock


    He had vanished and appeared right in front of their eyes with his men.


    They were done for and they could already feel it from the goosebumps on their skin.


    Officer Eric fearlessly walked up to them as his white skin glowed under the moonlight. He looked at them like they were little pumpkins.


    ¡°Wee!¡± he spat straight at their faces and smiled elegantly.


    ¡°Arrest them!¡± he ordered and immediately,  they all got chained and thrown into the police car.


    The rest of the police officers quickly got the casket of drugs and had them ced inside the huge bus they hade with as they made their way to the police station.


    When they got to the police station, a few reporters were already there.


    Immediately they spotted the police men, they rushed and started asking them series of questions which made Officer Eric a bit ufortable.


    He had always been a man of honour. And there was something about him. He hated the camera. He enjoyed privacy. He doesn¡¯t care if his good deeds get seen as he was a man with strict discipline in him.


    ¡°Sir! Sir!! Can you give us a brief details about your encounter? Sir what exactly happened? Sir, was someone murdered?¡± Questions kept flying.


    Officer Eric gave some instructions to his colleagues and walked into his office.


    His colleagues answered the reporters questions and got to work while they reported.


    ¡°Thank your star we didn¡¯t get caught today. I would have allowed her head with a bullet since your freaking people are trying to y mind games with me.¡± a voice said above anita¡¯s head.


    Anita didn¡¯t understand what was going on. She had thought she would be finally free only to see them desperate to thrown her back in there.


    They had gotten information from their men who were guiding them far away that the policemen were headed towards the said location and had to escape with Anita for their own safety.


    They had thought that Thomas was the one ying mind games until they had noticed that he had no reason to do that and got scared the more.


    They knew they had enemies, but who could be this one?


    Anita already lost her hope if evering out, so she took the ce like her room andid straight on the floor to keep while they left her alone after serving her some water.


    Thomas had gotten looking so pissed off unlike before.


    Picking up his phone, he tried to reach his men, but just like the past minutes, the numbers were unreachable.


    Fuck!


    Did something happened?


    He didn¡¯t think so, he then slept off on his bed.


    The next morning, what woke Thomas up was the sound of his phone ringing nonstop.


    He was surprised at first, but held his check when he saw it was some strange numbers.


    He doesn¡¯t give anyone his personal numbers, so once this number is called like this and on a multiple time, it means it must be serious.


    ¡°Where are you going?¡± Cass asked loudly as he grabbed Kate¡¯s arms.


    ¡°To the police station.¡± she replied not interested in looking at him.


    ¡°Ok I think you need me to go with you.¡±


    ¡°No don¡¯t worry. I will be just fine.¡±


    ¡°kate stop. What is giving you the confidence that you will win this. Liam is not an ordinary man.¡±Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    ¡°I know, but then, he is not above thew else you say otherwise.¡±


    ¡°He surely is not above thew doesn¡¯t mean that he is a puppet. I would say you should let it go.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t. Liam hurt me. He didn¡¯t really care about me. He controlled me like a sex toy. Is that not an offense?¡± she said bitterly.


    When she woke up that morning, she had opened her phone as usual and saw notification about a certain notable police officer who disappeared out of sight few years ago and had just made a fresh entry to flush out crimes.


    She had been so excited and had decided to go andin about Liam to him as she was very sure that he would gave a very good solution for her.


    He was rumoured to have made an appearance the night before and had appeared with some drug syndicate members as a scapegoat, so what was her case that she wouldn¡¯t be able to get justice for?


    Thomas¡¯ look was already in the mud as he looked at his tv.


    It felt like thunder was striking and on his head in his sitting room. The call earlier was the worst call he had ever received since the beginning of his career.


    He knew him.


    He was Officer Eric!


    New York¡¯s Top respected police officer.


    He had been among the syndicates that made him disappear from the force world making sure he never makes aeback, but he was, already with his men as an entry scapegoat.


    How could he dare??!!!


    Thomas face changed drastically as he struggled in his sitting room, looking for solution to hising issues.


    Eric knew his enemies and never minds to risk it all. That was what broke Thomas¡¯ heart. He felt down at not just his people who are already in the cell, but the amount of drug that he had lost to the police.


    His hard work was already in vain. That ached his heart like hell.


    Over in Anita¡¯s apartment, Andre made his way to check if she had been found only to see that nothing had changed except the news of Officer Eric making an appearance.


    He wasn¡¯t impressed at all, because why the hell were they keeping her hostage when she clearly wasn¡¯t owing them anything.


    He had always wanted to intervene, but he chooses to respect the force of New York and now, they were yet to brink. Anita back???


    He took his time to listen to Cass and heard what he had to say about Kate.


    He didn¡¯t think she had stated anything wrong.

 Chapter 52: Station

    Chapter 52: Station


    ¡°You should let her do what she wants. I think it¡¯s time we do what is right. Contact my men and put them on duty right away. In 24hours, I want my woman found.¡± Andre said


    Cass froze.


    ¡°Master, your woman?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t care about what you think right now. I will make her mine. I don¡¯t know how, but I will try.¡± he said and left the building.


    Cass then made some phone calls and took a deep breath.


    Who ever it was that was ying game should have up, because his master had stepped in.


    Kate got dressed for the say and made her way to the police station.


    When she got to the gate, her heart dropped.


    She wondered if she was going to seed in this.


    Joining her palms together, she made a silent prayer and walked into the cell.


    She met a police officer on her way in.


    ¡°Hello Miss! What do you need?¡± An officer asked.


    ¡°Hi Sir! I want to see Officer Eric. I need to report something to him.¡± she said a bit sad as she lowered her voice.


    ¡°If you have anything to report, you know what to do, you don¡¯t need to see officer Eric.¡±


    ¡°Please sir, I need to see him.¡±


    ¡°You can¡¯t. Not right now. Please leave if you have nothing to say.¡±


    ¡°Sir, I really¡­¡±


    ¡°What is it? Who are you?¡± Officer Eric asked as he walked towards them.


    ¡°Sir, this youngdy said she want to see you to report something.¡±


    ¡°So?¡±


    ¡°Sir, I was trying to apply my senses for security purposes.¡±


    ¡°A youngdy looking distress came to see me and you choose to leave her out? Don¡¯t do it again.¡±


    ¡°Yes sir!¡±


    ¡°Youngdy follow me.¡± he said and walked into his office.


    Kate heaved a sigh of relief and followed him in.


    Kate sat down when permitted to in the wide but simple office as she starred at officer Eric with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.


    After going through some documents, he pushed them aside and looked at Kate.


    ¡°What is it that you want to report to me?¡± he asked her as he paid her attention as he started recording the conversation.


    ¡°Sir, I want to report a certain man to you. He is also a police officer in one of the police stations in New York City.¡±


    ¡°So what about him?¡±


    ¡°I started dating him few weeks ago almost immediately I ended my rtionship with my ex. During the dating period, I notice that for some reasons unknown to me, I always felt the need to have sec with him. Either after I have eaten or after a conversation. So after we broke up, he unknowingly confessed that he drugged me multiple times just to have me in his bed. I¡¯m so heartbroken.¡± she said, sobbing as she continued.


    ¡°I had once found drugs in his room, so I believe it, plus the sexual urges were out of the ordinary.¡±


    By the to. e she had finished her statement, tears had already filled her eyes.


    ¡°Please Officer Eric. I know you are a man of honour. You genuinely care about your people and that us why I want to plead that you take up this case and help me get justice. Liam is a well connected man, but I¡¯m sure that with you involved, he would have to pay for his crimes.¡± she knelt down by the table and started pleading.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. Drop your information. I will reach out to you as time goes on. But, as soon as you leave this ce, file a case against him and prepare yourwyers.¡± he told her.


    Kate was grateful for the opportunity she got to be able to speak with officer Eric. She was so happy and had a feeling that this man was really genuine and does not possess the same aura as Thomas.


    She then had a feeling that she should never have anything to do with Thomas and Liam anymore. Just like that jerk Liam, she a feeling that Thomas was worse and was pretending.


    Andre has always been right. Anita was the victim that was been used unfairly.


    ¡°How did it go?¡± Cass asked Kate when she came back to Anita¡¯s apartment.


    He had vowed not to leave her again until he felt that she was safe. He had ordered secret bodyguards around to protect her and they had started their duty.


    ¡°I just filed a case against him.¡± she told him.


    ¡°it¡¯s good you did that. Let¡¯s see how it goes.¡±


    ¡°Yes, and I hope anita returns home soon. A lot has happened since she left.¡±


    ¡°You will see her soon.¡±


    Later that evening in Officer Eric¡¯s office.


    He sat down with a hand ced under his jaw as he got into a very deep thought.


    He was thinking about what Kate had reported to him earlier. Herints were very disturbing. He knew what she was talking about.


    Liam!


    Thomas partner in crime.


    He knew them. The group that had almost seeded in killing him.


    He must make them pay. How malicious can those folks be?


    They now use women again at their own wish?


    Liam! Seemed like he would start from Liam.


    9pm New York City


    Anita had already lost weight due to she was rejecting all the meals that were given to her.


    It wasn¡¯t like she wasn¡¯t hungry, but she was scared about the ingredients that was used in cooking the food.


    She had so many allergies that she was worried would be given to her, plus she could not tryst those guys with what she would put in her body system.


    She tossed and turned on the floor as she held her stomach in pains. She was so hungry and thirsty to drink water.


    Tears slipped down her eyes as she cried silently.


    She was already losing hope of leaving that ce, so she fell t on the floor while holding her tummy.

    Chapter 53: Free


    Soon, she heard some noises. Opening her eyes, she saw some men on ck opening the gate of the room she was in.


    Anita froze


    She opened her eyes widely to look and then she noticed that these men were very different from the actual people holding her hostage.


    Who were these ones then?


    Her heart started beating very fast.


    Oh goodness!


    Not long after, she saw the gate to the room go open and in some split seconds, these men walked to her and grabbed her out, carrying her in their arm.


    As they came out, she saw the actual kidnappersying on the floor unconscious.


    They had fainted.


    But how?


    She couldn¡¯t understand.


    After a few minutes, she found herself in a car close to the main road.


    Seemed like those people were her saviors. But they weren¡¯t saying anything to her.


    It was not until she heard one of them assuring their master that she was safe did she copsed in exhaustion.


    ¡°Anita is safe!¡± Cass told Kate who was finding it hard to eat dinner.


    Kate froze!


    Did she just heard something?


    Her eyes widened. She ced down her spoon as she didn¡¯t know if she should cry orugh.


    ¡°What did you just say?¡±


    ¡°Your girlfriend is safe. All thanks to Andre.¡± he told her.


    ¡°Please I want to see her.¡± Kate stood up immediately.


    ¡°I know, but it¡¯ste. Rx, we will go there tomorrow.¡± he urged her, but she had already stood up.


    ¡°Please. I need to go to her. Please take me to her.¡± she begged almost in tears.


    Cass could not refuse her anymore, so he took her out and drove her to City hospital.


    Kate had never thought that she and Anita would ever had to face what they were going through at the moment.


    How disappointing. She walked with a hand on her chest as she yed that everything would be fine with her friend.


    The first thing Kateid her eyes on when she git to the ward¡¯s door was Anita who wasying on the hospital bed helplessly.


    As she watched her, teats streamed down her fave and in the next moment, she was already by the bedside hugging her right until a nurse had to separate them for Anita¡¯s health.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe we are together again. I am so happy Anita.¡± she cried out.


    Cass held her as he tried his best to help her calm down even though he knew he couldn¡¯t.


    ¡°Thesedies bond was undeniably stronger than he had imagined.


    ¡°I need to cook for her.¡± Kate said after some minutes of crying.


    ¡°I have ordered meals for you both. Don¡¯t worry, it will arrive first thing tomorrow.¡± Cass informed her and made a bed avable for her to rx till the next morning while he used a chair.


    Anita¡¯s kidnappers had woken from their slumber and we¡¯re already in confusion in the middle of the night.


    It was a very big shock to them that some people were able to badge in and take away their hostage with having to face them or exchange blows and bullets with them.


    ¡°Urrghh I will kill you Thomas!¡± they screamed as they destroyed anything they were able toy their eyes on.


    One of them picked up his and dialed Thomas¡¯ number.


    ¡°So you seeded in taking her away. I promise you death by the time Ie across any thing precious to you.¡±


    Thomas froze.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t taken her. My people had been arrested. What happened to her? Listen, if anything happen to her, I might as well roast you all alive.¡± he threatened and ended the call with a deep rant.


    He was sure none of his team had made a move because he had made sure if that.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Would she have tried to escape and seed? He asked himself, because he was pretty sure that no other group could dare do that. He rubbed his head as he sat in the garden with his drugs in hand.


    After a few minutes after midnight, he walked into his house to his room and started testing the newly produced drugs.


    The next morning, Andre appeared at the hospital after being informedst night that Anita has been found and in a good condition.


    He also ordered more meals and personally brought it to the hospital.


    Anita had a long and cool sleep the night before after been injected by the nurses at the hospital. The liquids helped her sleep without stress and when she some up, she felt energetic than before.


    Seeing her people, she didn¡¯t know if she should smile or cry, so shebined the both which lookedical to them.


    Kate was feeling so grateful to God as she hugged her tightly while the men looked on.


    ¡°I¡¯m so d you are back. I really missed you Anita.¡±


    ¡°I missed you too.¡±


    ¡°Sit up to have your meal dear. Look, Cass ordered, then Andre brought you more.¡± Kate said as she helped Anita sit up while helping her arrange her hair for her to eat without distractions.


    ¡°How are you feeling?¡± Andre voice came through.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Anita replied with a light smile.


    ¡°We are happy you are back.¡± Cass added.


    Anita felt grateful as she looked at the three people in her front.


    She felt like she was home, but she didn¡¯t know where the exact feelings came from.


    ¡°By the way, how is Thomas and Liam?¡± she asked.


    Kate froze.


    She had not expected the question toe so soon.


    ¡°They are fine. Have some food.¡±


    ¡°I know they are fine. They should be, but my question is why aren¡¯t they here? I expected to see them here.¡±


    ¡°But they aren¡¯t, so yeah!¡±


    Anita froze at the response she got.


    Were there having issues?


    She then took her attention away and started eating.


    ¡°I know by now, Madam Cross will be so upset with me because of my absence.¡±

 Chapter 54: Out!

    Chapter 54: Out!


    ¡°No it¡¯s fine. I spoke to her about the incident and she got worried about you. She said you should get a full rest when you return and not stress about work first.¡± Andre spoke up this time.


    Anita heart melted.


    She felt so grateful towards Andre for the support he had been showing her.


    It was quite a bad idea to ignore him when they first met. She thought.


    But now, she was willing to make it up to him as much as she could.


    After they were done eating, Cass went out to settle all the paperwork and in an hour, they prepared and made their way to Anita¡¯s apartment.


    ¡°It¡¯s been so long I saw myself here. Thank you God!¡± she muttered as she entered her house.


    ¡°It feels good to see you at home baby girl. You know what, have some shower, we are gonna celebrate this.¡± Kate screamed with joy as shended on the couch.


    Andre and Cass only followed behind into the home as they watched Anita and Kate interact so intimately.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    ¡°I¡¯m happy for everything Cass. Thank you so much for your support. If not for you and Andre, I don¡¯t know what would have been my friend fate. Thank you so much!¡± she said to them when Anita went into the bathroom to freshen up.


    When she came out, Kate walked in too freshen up herself.


    ¡°I know it¡¯s been hard guys, but how did you manage to find me?¡± she asked Andre.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that.¡± Andre said to her.


    ¡°But why? You saved me Andre. I owe you so much thanks!¡±


    ¡°No you don¡¯t. Just be safe and healthy and I will be fine.¡±


    Later that evening, Andre and Cass chooses to give her and Kate some privacy, so they left them alone in the house.


    Kate made delicious meals and brought them to the sitting room to enjoy it with her dear friend.


    ¡°What¡¯s up with you and Liam? I haven¡¯t seem him here in a while.¡± Anita asked as they ate.


    Kate was already mentally ready to share, so she ced down her spoon and told Anita everything that happened since she left. From Thomas finding Cass and andre there to Liam badging into the house. The fight and his unconscious confession. She also told Anita how she made the decision to fight him legally.


    Anita sat frozen in shock.


    A lot had happened in the past few days that she wasn¡¯t around.


    Anger grew inside her as she thought about what she just heard about Liam.


    He had actually made her take in drugs and used her at the process.


    So all those times Late listed her about their sex life that she had thought was abnormal was really abnormal?


    ¡°Kate, don¡¯t be sad. We are in this together.¡± she co soled Kate who was already looking sad.


    It¡¯s so painful to see that she had gone from frying pan to fire. She could only hope that the next person she falls in love with would be a good and promising man void of evil.


    ¡°How are we going to fight this? Yes I reported the case to Officer Eric, who is to say liam won¡¯t escape this with his connection. You and I know how strong these people are, plus I am worried about you. I don¡¯t know what would be of you if you support me in fighting Thomas partner.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. You don¡¯t have to be worried about me. Everything will be well. Thomas is not so important to me than you.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡±


    ¡°Yes Kate. That¡¯s how much I love you. Guess what I want to do now¡±


    ¡°You know I can¡¯t guess.¡± Kate replied, rolling her eyes with smiles.


    ¡°we won¡¯t fight this alone. I will have to bring the general public into this or what do you think?¡±


    This brought a deep silence as they only had to smile to each other in understanding.


    The next day, Anita didn¡¯t even bother to stay at home to rest. She freshened up and made her way to Sass Media Home.


    When she opened her office, she froze at what she saw.


    ¡°What are you doing here?¡± she asked Andre who was so busy working on her desk.


    ¡°The royal highness is back. I thin I will have to take my leave now.¡±  he paused what he was doing and stood up.


    He walked to her and led her to her chair as he updated her on everything she had missed.


    When he was done keeping her up to date, he left.


    Anita¡¯s eyes spelt surprise as she wondered what kind of man she had met in this ce.


    How could someone be so good to a fault?


    She then ced her handbag and started going through the files on her desk.


    When she was done essing them, she looked at her time. It was time for lunch. Before she would stand up to go have some lunch, her office door was already opened with Andre standing there with bags of foods in his hands.


    ¡°Oh my goodness! What have you done this time?¡± she said in excitement. She lived what she was seeing. This seemed so good to be true.


    ¡°I have done a lot. Just as usual.¡± he replied her and ced the food on the table.


    ¡°Oh my God! Is this lunch?¡± she said surprised.


    ¡°Yes darling! Sit down.¡± he said and opened all the food, exposing them to her sight.


    They are all their favorite meals to their satisfactory. Happily, Anita drank the juice he brought in and tried to clear up the ce, but was stopped by him..


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to stress Queen!¡± he said and cleared the whole ce up before leaving the office, while she rxed on the chair feeling so spoilt like a child.


    After having some rest that afternoon was when she remembered what brought her to the hospital.


    She picked a pen and wrote down some note.

 Chapter 55: On Fire!

    Chapter 55: On Fire!


    After that, she summoned a colleague and passed it to her.


    Within thirty minutes, the information got published and as expected, it broke the inte.


    Netizens could not believe that even a man in the force could be practicing the same crimes that they are fighting against.


    Kate was going through some social media tforms when headlines popped up.

    UNBELIEVABLE: OFFICER LIAM IS PUSHING DRUGS. A SLAP TO THE WHOLE FORCE¡±


    The headlines shocked her. She knew she had Anita by her side, but she never knew that Anita was damn serious about this. Tears slipped out of her eyes as she clicked on the links. It was clear that she wasn¡¯t alone in this.


    ER 1:


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe that the same people fighting against drugs are actually taking it in. What a shame!¡±


    ER 2:


    ¡°I have always known the police as hypocrite. I am not surprise. Imagine making an innocent girl take in drugs just so you could have fun with her. Something she wouldn¡¯t dare to in her right senses.¡±


    ER 3:


    ¡°Like seriously? Wow! Just Wow!!¡±


    ER 4:


    ¡°This same officer is quite close to our reputable officer Thomas. Hmm! Hope it¡¯s not what I am thinking!¡±


    ER 5:


    ¡°Oh! I wonder how she must be feeling right now. Why treat someone¡¯s child like this knowing well that you will also have a daughter?¡±

    ER 8:


    ¡°I feel so sad about this. How could he? Unbelievable!!!¡±


    Kate could see that she was getting the support she needed. She was going to defeat this people no matter what it cost her.


    Cleaning her tears, she stood up and walked into the kitchen.


    She was going to surprise Anita with the best dinner.


    Andre was editing  some files on his system, so he decided to take a pause to look over the newly published articles.


    On opening thepany¡¯s website, he froze in shock.


    He blinked his eyes like he was missing something.


    He then stood up and walked into the production room only to see the workers printing in bulk nonstop.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡± he asked one of them.


    He had never seen such eagerness to print newspapers in thepany. Today¡¯s own was special to everyone. As they were printing, some were cursing.


    ¡°Can you imagine our very own officer sexually harassing our own girl in this state? I bet there are other girls he does this to. We will never let this happen.¡± a man said as he ordered them to be serious and work harder.


    Andre looked impressed. Within some minutes, it seemed like every citizen was sad about the news and are. very willing to express themselves anytime anyday.


    Wonderful!


    Anita you did this one!


    Immediately, he walked out and went unto anita¡¯s office where he met her editing some files.


    ¡°You did great!¡± he said and walked to her.


    ¡°You think so?¡± she replied without looking up. She was already used to himing into her office unnoticed.


    ¡°I know so!¡±


    ¡°Thanks!¡± she replied with a smile.


    Thomas was going through documents on his desk when his phone rang. Thinking it was an emergency, he quickly picked it up before realizing that it was a call from one of his men.


    ¡°What is it?¡± he said almost silently.


    ¡°Sir, I think Liam is in trouble. Check the inte.¡±


    Thomas froze.


    What the hell!


    He then stopped what he was doing and opened the inte.


    He became dumbstruck!


    The headlines he saw was capable of giving an instant heart attack, but he held his chest to control himself.


    This was like a p to the entire force and the force was going to take this so seriously especially now that Officer Eric was in the picture.


    Fuck!


    ¡°Liam! Liam!! Liam!!! How could you fall for this?¡± he spat almost whispering.


    He felt like throwing his phone to the ss window, but how? He didn¡¯t want to react the way people would see and think he was already insane.


    Scrolling throw, he tried to check it it was getting out of hand. If it had not gotten out of hand, then he would use his contact immediately to take it down, but on searching, he could already see that the whole world has seen all of the blogs and we¡¯re already reacting to it.


    How disappointing!


    As he was contemting on what to do, he tried to find out about the girl, and from the information he could get he already knew who it was.


    Hmmmph


    His worse nightmare. He had always known that kate of a girl would put Liam in trouble one certain day and here is the proof of his speech.


    The same girl be had seen with Anita several times, but wait!


    It was then his eyes caught the blog responsible for all the articles that had been published.


    He froze!


    Sass Media?


    That was thepany Anita was working with.


    How did they manage to get such information?


    It only meant one thing! Anita knows about this! But how could she? She know how much having a good name meant to him.

 Chapter 56: The Move!

    Chapter 56: The Move!


    Thomas became so mad. He couldn¡¯t believe that Anita would support her girlfriend in bringing down his friend.


    One look at thement section, he knew that if care is not taken, he would get involved in this and it would be tough.


    He never prayed for this. He only wanted a good reputation for him and his men else their move won¡¯t be trusted and they may end up being implicated.


    Picking up his car keys, he walked out of his office to his car in a haste.


    When the other officers saw him walk out with such haste, they just assumed he had something important to deal with as usual.


    Sass Media House


    By the time Anita was done working for the day, she was already exhausted, so she stopped and ced her head on the desk to have some rest.


    Andre called it a day at the office. He then walked out and walked into Anita¡¯s office.


    When she heard some steps, she stretched her palm without looking up. She already knew who it was.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go home. I will drive you.¡±Andre said with a smile.


    She then looked up and into his eyes.


    She took a deep breath and nodded her head in agreement.


    He then picked up her bag and held her up.


    ¡°Take it easy!¡± he whispered and she nodded.


    Soon they got down and met Cass who was already waiting for them in the car.


    Immediately Cass drove the car off, Thomas walked into the building with his car.


    He tried to ask, and a member told him that Anita had just left with her colleague.


    Though thedy that spoke didn¡¯t need to mention who it was, he already knew and his blood boiled in anger.


    He had not set his eyes on her ever since she got out of the hands of her kidnappers and she had not felt the need to call him or try to see him.


    He then got into the car with the intention of getting to her house before them.


    He was an officer and of course, was into some other underground business, so he knew the tiniest way in New York City.


    He drove his car through the shortest way he knew and in few minutes, he was at the front of her apartment.


    Meanwhile, Cass who was carrying Andre and Anita was still not halfway, while following the right way.


    Anitaid her head on the chair as it felt so rxing while Anita tried to massage her palm.


    Thomas got down from his vehicle and walked towards Anita¡¯s door as he started knocking.This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Kate was having fun cooking Anita¡¯s favorite dishes when she heard a knock on the door.


    She felt a bit disappointed at first, because she really wanted to finish cooking before Anita would return. She wanted her to have one of the best moment of her life eating her favorite that day.


    But on listening to the sound of the knock, she knew instantly that Anita was not back.


    She knows what Anita¡¯s knock sounds like.


    She then walked out if the kitchen and towards the door as she first peeped through the four to see who it was.


    On seeing one of her worse nightmares, she froze.


    She then bit her lips in anger and opened the door.


    As she opened the door, she stood at the doorway clearly showing that she had no intention of her letting hime in.


    No way!


    ¡°Hi!¡± Thomas said as he looked her up through his sses, trying to hide his hatred towards her, but on looking at her, she was not interested in pretending with he was pretending.


    ¡°How may I help you?¡± she asked.


    ¡°I¡¯m here to see Anita. Is she home?¡± he asked her back.


    ¡°Does it looks like she is back?¡± she asked him.


    ¡°I have no idea, so I am asking you.¡±


    ¡°Well don¡¯t. Else you see her around.¡±


    Straightening his shirt¡¯s cor, he tried to walk in, but got blocked by Kate.


    ¡°You really want to get in? Like seriously? After abandoning my girlfriend to rot in the hands in the hands of the kidnappers that kidnapped her because of you.?¡±


    ¡°Mind your words Kate. You have no evidence of that.¡±


    ¡°oh please spare me the shut you have to say. You are mean! You ain¡¯t good for my sister. If you have any idea what she means to me, you and your god forsaken partners would have protected her with all you have got. You have used my girlfriend for far too long already and I am done. Super done with every shit.¡±


    ¡°You are crazy Kate. I love kate and have never done anything to hurt her.¡±


    ¡°Shut the fuck up Thomas and get your ass out of my house!¡±


    ¡°This is not your house. It beings to my woman. I should be the one sending you out.¡±


    Laughing, she looked straight into his eyes as she walked closer and whispered ¡°Fuck you Thomas!¡± as she tried to go in and shut him out, but he grabbed her hand, making it impossible for her to walk out on him as he warned her with a mean face.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mess with me Kate. Tell me about Anita and I mean right now.¡±


    ¡°About anita? Hmmph! So what about her?¡± she thenughed and continued. ¡°I am going to make your worse fear happen anytime soon. Aren¡¯t you worried about her having an affair with Andre? Watch me make that happen. I need to get done with your fucking partner in crime who tried to ruin my life with illegal drugs. The bastard messed with me. He crossed the line with me. Watch me Thomas, by the time I am done with him, I will then start with you and guess what, I will make you more popr than Liam is right now and not just that, I will¡­¡±


    ¡°Stop talking bitch!¡± he screamed. He looked sick of the situation of things at that moment.

 Chapter 57: Must Avenge This!

    Chapter 57: Must Avenge this!


    He grabbed her neck as he tried to make her stop talking.


    Kate couldn¡¯t believe that she was about to get strangled as she bit his hands so deeply while trying to hard to breathe.


    Kate was already feeling so suffocated that she kicked him several time to free herself.


    This monster!


    When she felt like she was going to end up dying in the hand of her worst enemy, she let out a curse.


    Thomas smiled evily as he thought it would not be a bad thing to finish up one of his biggest troubles on earth, but unexpectedly,  he felt strong kicks against his back that sent him flying towards the other end shockingly to him.


    Kate froze.


    What just happened?


    Before they could process everything that was happening, the guards responsible for the fatal kicks disappeared once again.


    Cass had hired secret bodyguards who watches over Kate, while Andre also made him hire for Anita as well, but they had no idea about it and they couldn¡¯t see their faces.


    It was part of thew of thepany they got hired from.


    They knew when trouble between Kate and Thomas started, but they could not show up. It took them thest minute to be able toe to Kate¡¯s rescue at thest moment and disappear again.


    When Thomas stood up from the floor, he looked around as he tried to check who had the guts to throw him off guard like that. He felt so insulted as he looked around, but no sign.


    Looking so angry, he looked deeply at Kate with deadly eyes.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Kate wanted to get scared, but there was no need. She had never been afraid of evil. Just like the rest, she would face Thomas.


    How could someone be so bad? She thought.


    Thomas ran towards her with speed to assualt her.


    When he got to her, he raised his fist to punch her in the face when he felt something prate his skin.


    It was so intense and sharp with a thick pain that his hand stopped midair.


    He froze in shock.


    What just happened?


    Kate was already expecting to get hit by a man again when she saw him lift his hand up.


    She closed her eyes as she tried to avoid it.


    Thomas knew what just happened.


    A bullet had just pierced right into his skin.


    What does that mean?


    Does that meant that she was not really alone even though it looked like it?


    Unbelievable!


    With the help of his second hand, he tried to help the other hand down.


    Blood was already being seen as he tried to stay strong.


    When Kate saw blood dripping out of his flesh, she froze.


    It was unexpected.


    But she had not heard any sound of a bullet.


    It only meant one thing!


    There were snippers around.


    But how?


    Who hired them?


    Wasn¡¯t she just an ordinary girl?


    Thomas knew she already understood what had just happened as he tried to search for answers in her eyes.


    ¡°Don¡¯t look at me. In as much as I am not aware of this, it seems like someone just crossed my boundary and had to get punished. I think you deserve it and whoever did this a super good job. So, get lost!¡± she said and walked closer to him, this time, she was confident that she was safe as she stared at him.


    ¡°Do you know that you are a police man which give me the opportunity to sue your ass foring in to harass me? Now, who owns here or Anita? Me or you? I need you to get your ass out of here right now. Do you understand?¡±


    Thomas was stunned.


    She was right though. He was a cop and was supposed to protect instead of terrorizing, but he never joined the force to protect someone other than his syndicate. He was not interested in the lives of any fucking citizens, but he couldn¡¯t say it out.


    He needed to take care of his arm that is injured and uproot the bullet in it.


    Standing up, he rushed to his car and drove off.


    Kate was so pissed when he left at first, but on a second thought, her feelings changed. She just discovered that she had protection.


    Smiling, she looked around to see if she was going to see any sign of her secret guards, but she didn¡¯t and then she became curious.


    Happily, she walked in and shut the door.


    When she walked in, she picked up her phone and called Anita¡¯s number, but immediately it rang, she heard the sound of a caring towards the apartment. It was then she realized that she had arrived home.


    She held her chest in relief as she quickly rounded up the cooking and had it served before they woulde in.


    Cass had increased his driving pace when the security he had hired messaged him that Thomas had visited Kate.


    When he had increased his pace, Andre sensed that something would be wrong at home, so he signaled to Cass, who forwarded the message he had received to him.


    Cass was always up to date about everyone surrounding Kate for her security sake. She wasn¡¯t so influential in the state yet, she had enemies on par with the influencers in the state.


    When they got in, Anita sensed that something must have gone wrong but couldn¡¯t point her fingers on it.


    ¡°Wee guys!¡± Kate greeted them and took their responses happily.


    Cass wondered why and how she still managed to smile so wholeheartedly after what she had just experienced.


    It was then he realized that she loved to protect Anita¡¯s feeling a lot.


    ¡°I made dinner. I guess having an early dinner doesn¡¯t hurt.¡± she said aloud andughed.


    Anita forgot about how she was feeling around the environment as she then focused on her interesting girlfriend.


    ¡°Hmmm you made my favourite.¡± she said solid and walked hastily to the dining table.

 Chapter 58: Spark i

    Chapter 58: Spark i


    ¡°Yes darling! You should taste it real quick. Come on!¡± Kate replied her and held her to the seat.


    ¡°That should have been my ce Kate. Don¡¯t steal her away from me.¡± Andre said aloud, a bit jealous.


    Anita froze at his statement.


    What did he mean? She smiled.


    Kate eyes widened in shock coupled with admiration.


    ¡°Are you trying to ask her out or something? Just go straight to the point. As you can see, Anita is such a beautiful girl. She ain¡¯t need no hype!¡± Kate praised.


    Anita blushed.


    It had been long she felt this way. She had really missed a lot.


    She got so emotional that she hurriedly stood up and hugged Kate.


    ¡°Thank you!¡± she whispered.


    ¡°You are always so emotional. Enjoy your meal girl.¡± Kate replied and sat next to her to eat.


    The two men just watched them as they stood.


    Each of them admired whom they like as they smiled.


    ¡°Come join us! The food on the table is excess. We can¡¯t eat them alone.¡± Anita weed them.


    Kate agreed as she made a hand gesture while nodding her head.


    After the dinner, they sat on the couch in the living room as they watched the news.


    Soon, news about Kate during officer Liam appeared on screen.


    It was then Kate realized that she had not told Anita about what happened earlier.


    ¡°Thomas was here earlier.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Anita jumped from where she sat.


    ¡°Calm down anita, I am perfectly fine.¡±


    She then narrated everything that happened from the beginning to the point when he got shot and had to leave.


    It was terrifying to listen to, but Anita had to hear it because she deserved to.


    Taking a deep breath, she adjusted her self andid on the couch to have some cool rest.


    She was sick and tired of Thomas.


    He had not seen her for days only for him to appear to cause trouble for her.


    It made her felt to bad that she felt like crying. Sitting up, she walked into her room.


    When Kate noticed that Anita had just walked in, she followed immediately.


    When they got into the bedroom, just as expected, Anita busted out crying.


    ¡°Anita don¡¯t cry. Everything will be alright.¡±


    ¡°Why not Kate. What did I ever do to deserve this from Thomas. I didn¡¯tmit any crime.¡±


    ¡°I know. He is just bad.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know, if I am ever going toe out of his shell.¡±


    ¡°You will dear and soon.¡±


    Kate then bent down and allowed Anita cry on her shoulders.


    This was one moment she hated the most. She hates seeing Anita in this position.


    That bastard would pay!


    Andre left when he saw that Anita would be retiring to bed soon.


    He then ordered Cass to remain with them.


    He agreed. He wanted to anyway!


    So he called a driver that drove him to his own apartment.


    That same night at Liam¡¯s apartment, he stood at the top of the roof as he sipped his wine in the ss he was with.


    His brain felt like it was rotating. He was indeed restless. He couldn¡¯t get what was really going on.


    The Kate he used to know had turned to somethingpletely different. He couldn¡¯t control the one he once knew.


    He had been randomly going through the files sent to him from the higher ups when his peers walked up to him with their phone in hand.


    They had actually saw his scandal before him. If they hadn¡¯t told him, how would he find out knowing fully well that he was not an inte type.


    His image was at stake. The image his team had been fighting for. He felt bad. He wanted to murder Kate, but how dare him?


    If something happened to Kate at that moment, the authorities and the public will hold him responsible for it and things may even turn out worse.


    Sipping his head, he tried to drink away his sorrow, but the drink. tasted bitter in his mouth. Without hesitation, he spat out the drink and smashed the cup on the floor in anger.


    After that, he walked out of the roof top and walked down into his room.


    That night was so restless for him that at some point he took his phone and tried to reach Kate, but realized that she had blocked him everywhere.


    Not long after, his phone rang.


    Thinking that Kate might be reaching out to him, he quickly picked up the phone call, but instead of hearing Kate¡¯s tone, he heard the sound of a man that followed with scolding.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    ¡°Right from the beginning of our union, we had agreed to be verypetent which everyone had abide by except you, so you must be very stupid and useless to think that you will implicate our team. How could you even dare use a drug on a woman after knowing fully well that we forbid it?¡±


    Liam felt intense headache all over his head as he held his head in pain. ¡°Lord Lin. It was just for experiment. I had never given her the impression that I used it on her. I am sorry I sold myself out like that, but I think we can sort this out.¡± he said, almost stuttering.


    ¡°Sort? You think it¡¯s that easy? So let¡¯s leave the drugging aside, how about the confession of her seeing drugs in your house? Even in your room. What about that?¡± Lord Lin screamed in anger. If not for one thing, he would have taken liam out of the surface of the earth in a split second, because he was a stain to them at the moment. But he wouldn¡¯t. He didn¡¯t want to raise any suspicion.


    The best thing was to leave everything and everyone as it is while they look for a way out.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry Lord Lin. I have learnt my lessons.¡±

 Chapter 59: Spark ii

    Chapter 59: Spark ii


    Laughing hard, ¡°no dear. You haven¡¯t started learning. Better contact the best of Lawyers in town, because you need to get out of this mess as soon as possible. Your scandal irritate me.


    ¡°I will Lord Lin! Please trust me. Don¡¯t leave me and soon, we will be over this.¡± he begged.


    In three seconds, the phone call ended, leaving him to the quiet atmosphere in the room.


    The was one of if not only, the worst night of his life where he felt like it was already over for him.


    All through that night, he was sleepless as he thought of what to do about his life.


    And soon, by the time he looked up at the sky again through his window, it was already morning.


    He didn¡¯t really slept the night before.


    It took him so long to move out of that spot as he had been standing there for hours. It was so bad for him.


    After what seemed like forever, he moved out of the spot and walked straight into his bathroom.


    When he came out, he saw that the exclusive chefs he had hired didn¡¯t serve him breakfast. The was not willing to eat, but looking at the dinning area, it was empty unlike how it used to be.


    Really?


    Wow!!!


    He smirked and made his way to his car.


    He woulde out of this! And by the time he would solve this, he would ensure that those ipetent servants live the rest of their lives miserably. He muttered to himself and started the car.


    Anita woke up feeling a bit better than the night before as she stretched before turning her head to the other side of the bed to check Kate.


    Surprisingly, Kate was fully awake already as she dressed her hair facing the mirror.


    ¡°You woke quite early today.¡± she said a bit loud to her hearing.


    ¡°Yes, I will be going to the station this morning.¡± Kate replied her with a slight smile.


    ¡°Oh! Any new update?¡±


    ¡°Sure! Cass prepared three goodwyers. Along with him, we will be apanied to go see Officer Eric.¡±


    ¡°That makes sense too. I will y my part. What do you think?¡± she said and asked.


    ¡°I can¡¯t thank you enough.¡± Kate said and packed up her hair.


    ¡°I got you girl. You have no idea how much!¡±


    ¡°I have an idea girl. I love you so much.¡±


    Laughing, ¡°I love you too darling.¡±


    Anita hurriedly entered the bathroom and freshened up.


    When she was done, she quickly made breakfast for everyone and they are happily.


    Anita then got into the car with Cass and Anita as the driver prepared to drive them out.


    ¡°Drop me at Sass Media Home.¡± Anita said to the driver.


    ¡°I¡¯m aware ma¡¯am. Sir Cass already gave me the instructions.¡± the driver turned to her and said.


    Anita eyebrow raised.


    Nice one!


    Looking at the driver, he seemed very free with them.


    She loved the energy in the car.


    When the driver got to Sass Media Home, he stopped the car.


    Anita took a deep breath before turning to look at Kate.


    ¡°Where are thewyers?¡± she asked.


    ¡°They are already at the station waiting for us to show up.¡±


    ¡°Good then. I wish you good luck. Take good care of yourself. Have a great day Cass!¡± she said and came out of the car as they waved her goodbye.


    Immediately the car drove off, she turned to enter the building when she jammed no other than Thomas.


    Anita froze for a second and in the next second, one could easily see the disgust that appeared on her face.


    He had already blocked her way of passing, so she stood there ready to confront him.


    This man does not really care about her. Like how could he even have the audacity to appear at her face after abandoning her?


    ¡°Anita!¡±


    ¡°Yes??? How may I help you stranger?¡±


    ¡°Hey! I¡¯m not a stranger. I am Thomas, your man.¡±


    Laughing, ¡°well thest time I checked, I am single so where could you have appeared from?¡± she asked looking confused.


    ¡°Stop this Anita! We need to talk.¡± Thomas was already sick of testing to reason with her even though he really don¡¯t want to.


    ¡°No we don¡¯t. At least not right now. I have a lot to do.¡±


    ¡°Anita, nothing is more important than what I have to say to you right now.¡±


    ¡°Well, but at least, my job is or don¡¯t you think so?¡± she asked.


    ¡°Listen¡­¡±


    ¡°Anita Madam Cass needs to see you right now. She is upstairs in her office waiting for you.¡± Andre¡¯s voice sounded from behind.


    ¡°Oh okay! Right away!¡± Anita said and ran into the building leaving Andre and Thomas.


    Thomas was already so pissed at what Thomas just did, because even him knew that was a tant lie.


    ¡°How dare you? You piece of shit! You will regret this Andre.¡± he spat and walked into his car and drove away in anger.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    ¡°We shall see then.¡± he muttered and walked into the building.


    Anita was already in her office as she ced one hand on her waist and the other on her forehead as she thought of what was going on.


    She could only pray that no serious exchange was going on down the building.


    She didn¡¯t want Andre to risk his job trying to protect her, but Andre didn¡¯t give her the chance to worry and withing few minutes of her standing, her office door opened and therees Andre.


    When she saw him, it felt like a big weight had just been lifted off her shoulders. She felt so happy.


    Without knowing what she was doing, she ran to him and hugged him tight.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright Anita!¡± he whispered to her as he rubbed her back helping her to calm down.


    Soon, she let go and the first thing that came out of her mouth was ¡°Thank you!¡± she said with a cracked tone.

 Chapter 60: Spark iii

    Chapter 60: Spark iii


    ¡°Don¡¯t mention! I¡¯m here for you.¡± he told her.


    Anita was a bit shocked at the statement, but she chooses not to let it show.


    ¡°I really needed you to show up, and then you did. So, I believe you.¡± she said aloud unconsciously.


    When she realized what she said, she froze.


    Then held her chest and walked to her seat.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to be wary of your words when talking to me. I really don¡¯t mind you pouring out your feelings to the fullest when interacting with me.¡± he told her and turned to leave.


    ¡°I appreciate you!¡± Anita then said softly behind him.


    He heard it and paused. He turned and looked at her for a bit with his bright eyes, smiled and finally left.


    Anita held her burning cheeks as she giggled like a child.


    Even she could freely admit that she felt free whenever she was interacting with Andrepared to her feelings whenever she was talking to Thomas.


    Smiling, she got to work. There was a lot to do today.


    Bringing out her pan, she drafted some things, then proceeded to focus on the system at the front of her.


    At the City¡¯s Police Station, Kate and Cass had long arrived and were with Officer Eric in his office with thewyers.


    ¡°The Police are actively on this case. Do not worry, soon you will hear from the court.¡± Officer Eric assured them.


    ¡°I really hope so Officer Eric. I trust what you do as well.¡±


    ¡°Thanks for that. We have long discussed. I will keep you updated through yourwyers.¡± Officer Eric said to them.


    ¡°Sure! See you soon!¡± Cass said as he stood up holding Kate¡¯s palm.


    ¡°Thank you Officer Eric! I really hope to hear from you soon.¡± Kate said to him which he nodded firmly in respond.


    After the conversation, they gradually left the office.


    As they passed the hallway, Kate unexpectedly bumped into someone which made her almost lose her fitting if not that Cass was there with her and holding her firmly.


    When she stood better, she looked up at who had bumped into her like that and froze.


    Liam?


    Cass saw how she looked stunned and followed her sight only to also set his eyes on Liam.


    Cass looked him up and down and smirked.


    This was the fool that was messing with Kate and had even had the guts to use drugs against her.


    ¡°Kate? What are you doing here?¡± he asked her in surprise.


    ¡°Excuse me? What should I be doing here if not for the reason you and I knows. It¡¯s so weird that you lose your memory every two to three days. What a shame!¡±


    ¡°I want us to talk.¡± he said in a hard tone like he wasn¡¯t going to negotiate it.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry but I don¡¯t think I have the time to waste.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°I meant to say that talking to you is a freaking waste of my precious time. What do you think?¡± she asked.


    Liam starred at her for long without knowing what to say anymore. Even though he wanted to say something to her, Cass present wasn¡¯t letting him. In his head, he refused to believe that Cass was an ordinary person, because what ordinary person would have such audacity as he portrays.


    ¡°Anyways, it seems like you¡¯re short of exnation this time. See you in court.¡± she said to him and left the police station with Cass by her side.


    Liam felt a bit defeated as he watched her leave with the man he wished was dead.


    Without a choice at that moment, he turned and walked into his office, only to meet a letter on his desk.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    His heart skipped a beat when he saw it.


    Using his hand to brush his hair, he sat down on the chair and opened the letter.


    This was what he prayed had never happened, but it looked like his prayer was not going to be answered.


    He had been summoned by the higher-ups for exnation.


    He punched his fists together as he let out a quiet but hard grunt.


    His heart felt bitter as he folded his palm in anger.


    Without a choice, he stood up with the letter and left the office.


    On the desk of the higher ups of the filling station, Liam sat alone at their front as he was being bombarded with different questions.


    Looking at their faces and into their eyes, it was very easy to see that they weren¡¯t ying, especially when someone was in their midst.


    Officer Eric was a police officer with high ranking position.


    In this case and considering who were involved, he promised to follow it till the end.


    ¡°Do you realize that your alleged involvement in crimes is a p to our faces?¡± one of them asked.


    ¡°I¡¯m aware sir.¡± he replied.


    ¡°Good! In that case, tell us what you know.¡±
