Chapter 151 Elena's Pov

I walked into the hallway with files in my hands, glancing at every corner to spot any suspicious movement. It seemed like the creepies hadn't woken up yet to begin their creepy moves for the day. Moving from the reception to my office was totally safe. Almost everyone that walked past me wore a smile on their faces, and infact, I didn't see any new face till I reached my office. I locked the door to my office as soon as I entered, and then I dropped the files on the table. The computer system on my office table was a bit dusty, making me wonder if I'd been away for too long. It hasn't even been twelve hours since I returned home last night. Even though I was quick to ignore that so I could focus on accomplishing the tasks for the day, it wasn't the same story for what happened to me last night when I tried to retrieve the interesting novel from my car. The silhouette in the distance was still visible in my imagination, and I had already given up trying to erase it. Because the ha

Chapter 152 Dominic's Pov

As I stepped out of the shower room, my eyes fell on the wall clock in a close distance to me. It was exactly 5pm. I worked for about seven hours today before giving a flimsy excuse to be home. I had to be inside my room to be able to gather my thoughts together. The report I received from my men shortly before I left my office, was capable of causing heart ache, but I proved more stubborn than the trouble Adrian was causing. He must have been born by troublesome parents. If that was not the case, why the hell was he so keen on knowing my past? Why was he trying to make Elena hate me after realizing what my family did to her own family in the past? No matter what he said to her, the dead man would not wake up. Why then should he be so worried about causing discord between Elena and I? Could he be dumb enough to think he can replace my role in her life? “After careful review, we can now say for sure that Adrian is digging out more information about your past. He wants to gather the

Chapter 153 Elena's Pov

“There are many other secrets that have been exposed to me, and I'm going to tell them to you, but pending the arrival of the right time to say it, maintain your positive energy.” Adrian sent me a message as soon as he left my office. The words he spoke to me while he was inside my office was quite similar to the text message he sent. Why exactly was he trying to remind me about my ignorance to rest of the information on the case that led to the death of my parents? Despite his advice to me to maintain my positive energy, I couldn't fall asleep. I turned off the lights, but that didn't help much. I closed my eyes, hugged my pillows and rolled in bed but it didn't make me fall asleep. The fact that there are many other secrets that Dominic is hiding from me continued to trouble my mind so much that I left my room to be in the living room. I turned on the TV to watch a midnight show, maybe that will help resolve the tension in my head. I'd already promised to trust Adrian’s words. E

Chapter 154 Elena's Pov

I dropped off to my office seat, folding my arms across my chest. Dominic's uncle was not a foreigner to me, but the fact that his name was being mentioned in this case was surprising. Even though Adrian has already left my office, it felt like though his presence was still with me. I heaved a deep breath as I turned on my laptop. I had to check through the old reports connected to Dominic's family and past incidents. Adrian was proving to be someone I could really lean on, but that didn't stop me from doing my personal research. Confirming from two legit sources would be a really good idea. After all, Adrian could have his own motives as well. Even if he has been telling a lie all along, or he's been mixing lies with the truth to fit his personal agenda, my own research can expose that to me. And if it did not, then I was meant to believe whatever he said. He's already informed me about Dominic's uncle's involvement linked to financial transactions. Perhaps he was the one funding

Chapter 155 Dominic's Pov

If the leader of my team didn't choose to stay back in the hospital for one extra hour yesterday, I wouldn't have found out that Elena has begun a new, dangerous journey on her own. I'd just reached my apartment last night when my phone beeped with a call notification. I took the call when I saw the name of the caller, believing it was an urgent information that was about to be passed across to me. And it was a correct guess. “I heard someone issuing a warning to her over the phone to not continue the search for more information about your family. Fortunately, she agreed with the person.” My team leader had said to me over the phone. My spirit was troubled, not actually because of the information, but because I didn't know what best line of action I should take next. I didn't know the exact move I should make to resolve this despite having many options stuck in my mind. I turned on my TV and watched an interesting show all through the night. At dawn, I slept off and woke up so lat

Chapter 156 Dominic's Pov

She would be right if she termed me a selfish person. Issuing a warning to someone in trouble to stay away from the solution to that trouble was extremely selfish. Anyone would draw this kind of conclusion. But I would say, it's a view from one lens. How about the other lens? What happened to looking me in the eye and discovering the genuineness of my words? Was it now difficult to differentiate between truth and lies, and did the difficulty lie in the discernment of intentions? I stayed quiet as her words floated into my ears. She had the full right to speak to any length. I deserved to sit down across from her, keep my head low and listen to everything she wanted to say, but that wouldn't mean agreeing with her opinions. “How can you tell me to stop working on a case that can either mar my life or make it safer and better?” That was the first question she asked. The question sank deep into my mind and triggered some brilliant responses, but I didn't voice them out. They seemed n

Chapter 157 Adrian's Pov

Elena would call me crazy for staying back in my office after work hours. I would give myself that term as well. According to my understanding, being crazy about getting answers to the questions many people have been so afraid to ask was not a bad thing at all. “At the moment, you know that Dominic's father was the one who orchestrated your father's death. There are many things you've got to find out. Don't think about the things you've not found out yet,nlest anxiety set in and flip your mood to a really terrible one.” I had said to Elena before leaving her office. “I will work on the case and make sure the truth is brought to light.” She'd looked me in the eye and shook her head gently, like someone who was confused if warning me to stay away from this secret mission or encouraging me to continue with it was a good option. She didn't say anything else till I got up and walked out of her office. I had to fulfil that promise, even if it would mean staying back inside my office. The

Chapter 158 Elena's Pov

Maya was in her room, fast asleep on the big bed. I planned to lay next to her in bed tonight, but my mind was not calm enough. Oftentimes, Maya's figure would be enough to calm my troubled mind, but it seemed like this new trouble had exceedingly great power. I had to move to the living room and sit down on the couch. I picked up the remote control, as usual, turned on the TV to watch a show and to make sure the volume was reduced to keep Maya asleep. All I had to do to keep my sanity intact was distract myself from thinking about what Dominic and Adrian had said to me during the day activities. They came to me individually to share their thoughts with me. Dominic chose to visit me in my apartment though, but what baffled me more was that they didn't come together. Months ago, as soon as I heard a knock on my door, I would quickly open the door and offer both men a warm smile, believing in their joint efforts to tackle the real enemy, but that satisfying smile had vanished because

Chapter 159 Elena's Pov

As soon as I entered the premises of my apartment, I took casual glances at my surroundings. It was already late, so anyone could be hiding in the shadows, waiting for the me to try getting in so they can speedily catch me or get in with me. I wouldn't blame the scary thoughts that were nod dominating the normal thoughts on my mind. Now seemed to be the time they could thrive. Adrian's words when he realized how terrified I was, calmed me for some minutes. But I couldn't help the chills that ran down my spine when the reminder how close their operational center was to this apartment. Have they been there all this while, or did they just move close to me to make their work easier to do?Either options was scary to think of. As I turned the doorknob and moved in, I noticed that the remote control was not where I dropped it on. I could be going through terrible mental exhaustion but that didn't mean I lacked last memory brain cells. Someone must have done that. I closed the door after

Chapter 160 Dominic's Pov

“We have a new update, boss.” My team leader said over the phone. “We spotted a figure standing across from her apartment. It seems like the person has been instructed to remain stiff.”“Stiff?” I asked, placing the phone gently on my desk as my brows furrowed. “What does that mean?”“He seems unmoving. That has to be his role. He must be recording a video with that pair of glasses on his face.” He explained. “You saw his face?”“We captured the face but it was not clear. Even though some of my team members argued that it was a woman, I believe it's a man. But we can't conclude on any gender.” He explained. “If we must conclude, we will cling to the male gender.”“That's worrying.” I said, heaving a deep breath. “Did you make any move to arrest him or keep him confined in one of my secret rooms?” “We didn't do that,” he said. “We believe the time to do that hasn't arrived yet. Another thing we noticed is how long the figure waited there without being challenged. He must be searching
