you need anything Ma’am?” the male voice that belonged to my PA asked. I paused for a moment before turning the phone to my other car and using my shoukler to hold it
“oh shit
“Ma’am”
“Sorry.” I responded dropping the document that I was half–lost in. I sighed and turned my attention back to the phone call. Tonly need those emails forwarded to me, please.”
“Anything chr
“None. I’ll be in the ofice in the morning and take it up from there. Thank you, Jameson
“James,” he corrected, but I was only teasing. Every single one of my employees respected me but I sure as hell needed to crack a joke once while. Avto was right; my employers would give me all the respect I ever wanted.

Not just him, Eve was also right about my father. He welcomed me home and swore that I’d never lack. I couldn’t imagine losing my child; the only one who could make me feel something deep down and so I kept her
I stayed with my sister until I gave birth to my daughter, Abbie, and decided to move to Virginia as my way to start afresh I took some advanced courses in criminology and cyber–security and shortly after that, I made progress in not just being a certified Investigator but owning one of the most profitable organizations
I have a team that works endlessly with me in solving mysteries and 1 do not think I regret any of. I am the Chief Executive Officer of Dis Cover but I also love my position as Abbie’s mom and Eve’s baby sister because I never miss taking a whole day to catch up with them.
Abbie is the pretest three–year–old child and she loves traveling–one thing I’m certain she didn’t get from me because I can count the chics I’ve been to despite having cough money. I just don’t like the feeling that comes with leaving my comfort zone. She went to meet Eve for the holidays. and she loved it so much there. I have been trying my best to be the best mom but I do not have my shit together yet, so I had her stay with the person I can trust with my whole life.
I dropped the phone on my work rable and exhaled audibly, I needed a distraction from work but I couldn’t think of anything. I have a growing passion for cooking and even though I’ve always cooked, it’s a lot different no. I do not cook just because I need anyone in rat but because I love the thrilling process and how wonderful the results of my recipes come out I am honestly thinking of opening a 5–star restaurant or something but Em jant 100 caught up trying to find out things about these cases,
My phone buzzed again, and it was still James. Tean bear you, Lannounced to him.
“I think I found something you’d like,” he announced. “I had the team trace the IMEI number of the phone and with what I found, it was dumped in the refuse closest to the Suspeer’s house”
“What do you think” Lasked, wanting to hear from him. Being a private investigator for two years has made me a lot different. I do not just conclude but I wait to hear what others have before analyzing the entire thing.
“I uh–I think we have our man. The cops have always thought he did i
“You want to know what I think?” Lasked and 1 heard him hum in affirmation. “I think it’s all a set–up and we need more hands on deck.
“Okay ma’am, I’ll keep you updated”
The call beeped and I turned to gulp a drink. I have been stressed lately, mainly from the current case of trying to figure out why a young man would poison his mother. I have never been one to judge a bad gay or even throw a stone first and that was exactly what ruined my marriage.
Maybe if 1 hadn’t waited too long to address the issue, it wouldn’t have gotten so rotten that it couldn’t have been fixed.
“Come of it.” I told myself and exhaled before turning off my laptop and walking to my room. The white–painted wall gave the room a minimal look for the chandelier dripping jewels over a hush carpes and may newfound interest in dark artwork made is an intriguing sight.
My four–poster bed took majority of the space, draped with lavish fabrics and enough pillows to drown in. I took off the big ash T–shin, stripping it down on the way to the bathroom, needing the water to wash whatever it was away from my mind.
A cold water bath was my first closer and the moment the water connected to my skin. I gasped and just remained there. Running my slippery

hands over my body. I exhaled. My lips parted for a while as I tried to wash my face but it wasn’t just the cold sensation on my skin I was feeling, there was a throbbing pain between my thighs. I swallowed hard when I realized it was simply because I had thought about Avro and somehow, be kept crawling back into my thought even when I was bathing
I’ve been relibate for years and I’ve not felt the touch of a man since my marriage ended. I know I should have moved on from this phase bur whenever I craved a touch. I knew the touch I wanted.
The touch of the same man who humiliated me, shattered my hear, and broke me into pieces I am still trying to fix
“So,” I blurted and stepped the shower. “I cannot have anything to do with Avro Levendor. Not anymore and not in this late.”
I was certain about that but there was a tricky question lurking in my heart. And the next life!
I’ll still have nothing to do with him in my next life. I muttered, feeling the sharp pain of remembering what he did to me. The hart subdued after
few minutes, leaving anger and the throbbing pain between my thighs
“I hate you so much, Aro Levendor and I’ll make you pay
