AUDREY “Vickie, come in quick,” I whispered as I reached my room. Vickie followed me, and the moment we were in, I locked the doors shut.“Vickie,” I began after asking her to take a deep breath. “I want you to tell me everything.”Vickie paused, her face gleaming anxiously. I held her trembling hands and squeezed them gently.“Don’t be scared, Vickie,” I said, and smiled. Then she took another deep breath before looking up at me.“I… overhead them talking, ma'am.” She stuttered, unsure if she was using the right words.My eyebrows raised in curiosity as I glared at her. “So… what did you hear?”Vickie replied, her voice still shaky. “Kevin was telling your father about some business deal… I didn't hear what kind of business, but I don't think it involves the company.”My eyes furrowed instantly as I slowly released her hand. My head twitched, unable to grasp what she was saying.“Umm… maybe it's nothing harmful,” I said, forcing a smile. “I mean, Kevin cheated on me, and I hate him

AUDREY My breath hung in my throat as I stared into my dad's eyes. He kept smirking, but behind it was something scary. His eyes burned as they sent chills through my bones. He wasn't joking at all.“Why don't we let Claire be?” Kevin said, instantly changing the topic. “She'll get over herself.”Richard raised his head to him as his eyes narrowed. “You're right,” he whispered, turning to me.I sighed out loud, forcing a smile. “Well, what's this dinner about?” I asked, turning to my dad.Then my dad looked up, his mood brightening in seconds. “The future of this company is in safe hands,” he said, turning to Kevin beside him.I chuckled as I took a bite of the arugula salad in front of me. Richard stared at his dish for a moment, then he raised his head to face Kevin again, without touching his meal.My dad noticed the intense stare in Richard's eyes, and then he threw his arms around Kevin's shoulders. “Kevin here has not only been my business partner, but a trusted friend.”I forc

AUDREY The cold evening breeze struck me the moment I stepped out of my dad's limousine. A faint sigh escaped my lips as I stared at the enormous Gilbert mansion in front of me.“Are you nervous?” Richard whispered with a smile as he approached from the other side.“Of course not,” I replied, smacking him playfully on the shoulder. “I'm just kinda worried.”“Relax, Audrey,” he replied. “Don’t let anything ruin this beautiful evening.”He then offered his arm to me and whispered, “Shall we?”I nodded with a smile back as I took his arm and proceeded into the mansion. The security guard made way the moment he saw me; of course, he knew I was Sinclair's daughter.The bright golden ray of the chandelier reflected my pale gold silhouette gown as I stepped in.A sharp gasp of astonishment escaped me as I glanced through the interiors as other rich people scattered all over the place. The parlour was massive, enough to host a grand ball. Though it still wasn't as big as ours, I had to admit

RICHARD “Where're you taking me to?” I snorted playfully to Denise as she pulled me away from Audrey and Kevin. Then she stopped.“I'm sorry,” she murmured with a soft giggle. “I saw the way you danced with Audrey and I was impressed.”“Hmm,” I mumbled narrowing my eyes. “So you want me to teach you how to dance?”“Well…” She chuckled, scratching her scalp. “It's not like I can't dance, but my boyfriend's really terrible at it and I don't have anyone to dance with.”“Oh, I see.” I laughed, stretching my palm toward her as I bowed slightly. “Would you like to dance with me then, my lady?”Denise smiled warmly as she took my hand. “I would love to, kind sir.”At that moment, the melody changed into something smoother and quieter, matching the atmosphere. I turned to face Audrey and stared as she danced with Kevin.‘Why did she agree to dance with him?’ I thought, almost voicing out. ‘Is this some kind of set-up?’“Richard? Hello!” Denise called, snapping me out of my thoughts. I turned

KEVINMy phone buzzed in my pocket as I stared at Audrey, bewildered. “You can't forget huh?” I muttered quietly as I reached for my phone. The number wasn't familiar but I answered it anyway.“Kevin Walker. Who am I speaking with?” I said, my voice carrying through the phone.“Mr Walker, this is the FBI director, the one who investigated the trade deception involving Sinclair Global.” The voice replied, calm and flat.My eyes narrowed as I drifted my eyes to my sides to make sure no one was eavesdropping. “I told you I wanted to remain anonymous,” I whispered back as my fists balled. "Hope you didn't tell anyone it was me who helped solve the case?"“Don't worry sir, I kept your identity a secret, even to the police.” He assured with a sharp snort.My shoulders sagged in relief. “So, why call?”“About the fire incident at the Gilbert mansion last night,” he said.“What'd you find out?” I asked further.“Well, we are presuming that it may have been an accident caused by a gas leakag
