“Miss Ramona, you’re late.” The voice snapped across the office floor like a whip and Catherine almost didn’t know that she was the one being referred to.She didn’t want to come, she had thought that the plan was to only see the way they treat people based on their appearance but Kai had other plans.He had told her to resume and only stay for three days and in that span, they are to work together to get some strong evidence against that company.Kai isn’t just up against the Benson sisters, he is also up against every corrupt organization and he had meant it when he said they should remake the world.“Miss Ramona, I’m talking to you.” The voice came again and Catherine’s anger grew even larger, what had first come to her mind was to punch whoever was standing behind her in the face but she didn’t as she reined her anger in.Catherine turned, heels clicking against polished tile, and found a woman staring at her. The woman looked like she was in her early forties, sharp suit, lipstic

Kai’s voice cackled in her ear, it wasn’t the kind that was borne purely out of something funny but because he was livid and he knew that he needed to keep himself grounded or he was going to do something irreparable.He could see the man through the small camera in the glasses she was wearing and aside from the vow he made to her, he intended on going all the way.He’s going to make that fool regret ever thinking he could act with Catherine in that manner.“You’re fuming,” he eventually said, his words coming out as if he had struggled to make that sound, “I’m sorry for putting you through this, two more days.” He added.“You have no right to tell me I’m fuming when you sound like you’re about to barge in here and wipe this place completely out of the map.” Catherine responded and Kai sighed.“Fair enough,” he murmured, laughing in her ear, the sound enough to make her forget about the terrible way her day was going, “you don’t want to blow your cover in the first ten minutes.” He ad

Minutes turned into hours and Catherine didn’t lift a finger to work, she couldn’t sign the stupid quarterly reports that were brought to her.She had instead scanned through it and pretended to not understand anything even though all that was needed was for her to sign, she claimed she had no idea where to sign.She watched as the male executives hovered over female employees like vultures, offering “mentorship” that was nothing more than thinly veiled harassment and one of them had almost tried it with her.“A pretty woman like you has no business lifting a pen to work, you should be in the bedroom, relaxing.” One of the men said, winking at her and Catherine could feel her blood boiling.“Well clearly, a certain senior of mine doesn’t share that feeling.” Catherine laughed but her insides were filled with nothing but venom as she stared at him.“I’ll help you.” He’d said and with that, he took the one from her, signing the report without as little as skimming through it.Hours bled

“How long do I have to wait before he calls again?” Nora thought to herself, her mind had been spiraling since she went to meet the person who had promised to help her.She hadn’t even seen his face and a part of her felt like she should have listened to Jake and instead of waiting around for a call that may never come in, she should have done things her own way.But that person, they sound powerful and she had a gut feeling that teaming up with them wouldn’t end bad for her even though her mind was telling her otherwise.They both had a common enemy and until that enemy is pummeled to the ground, neither of them would betray the other. Nora knew this.She also knew that as soon as the stranger finished with his plan to bring down Kai and Catherine then there would be nothing stopping him from coming for the Benson family.“I know you’re waiting for that call and I already asked you once before so I won’t say anything else,” Jake’s voice sounded from behind her, jolting her out of her

“That bastard, he thinks he can just talk to us and… and just… leave?” Rebecca was fuming, her anger was almost so close to being uncontrollable.Her stomach twisted with all the sick things that she intended to do to Kai and Catherine, how she intended to bring them down until they’re nothing more than insects.But right now, she has other things to focus on. Her worries weren’t just about how to make Kai and Catherine suffer and make them regret treating them the way they just did.It’s been about five days now and she hasn’t been able to contact anybody, not even her sister or her colleague at work and she knew….Rebecca knew that this wasn’t right, she and her sister aren’t supposed to be behind bars for this long without access to the outside world but Catherine had rigged the game.Catherine had used her powers and ordered the cops to keep her and her sister locked in this stinky, dirty cage, keeping the truth about their whereabouts hidden.“THIS IS CRAZY!” Rebecca yelled, just

“I don’t know what it is yet but Nora has a plan, I have no idea who is helping her because she said she didn’t see his face but I intend on finding out.” Jake said into the phone he was holding.He was seated on the couch with his legs comfortably on the table, one finger in his other ear as he listened to the other person on the phone talk.“Don’t worry, I’ll find out,” he said with a conviction that anyone would believe almost instantly, “she’s not as secretive as she thinks she is.” He said amidst a laughter that echoed throughout the whole building.“Whether or not she and her pathetic little sisters find Kai or get him to his knees like they claim they would, I don’t even care,” Jake paused, his eyes narrowing as he stared beyond the tv in front of him.“I just need the inheritance and then I’m out of here and to do that, I have to keep being the sweetest younger brother that they think I am.” He finished.The person on the other end of the phone said something that made Jake la

Nora didn’t say anything at first even though she knew, she was a hundred percent sure that she could trust Jake but what she wasn’t sure about was if she wanted to spill everything to him right now.She wanted to wait until success was guaranteed or at least, until she had gotten her sisters out of the cell before she could bring all three of her siblings in on the plan.“Not yet,” she answered honestly, her eyes not leaving the TV and even Jake didn’t push further as he waited for her to take her time and tell him everything.He knew that pushing or forcing her to tell him everything could cause Nora to pull back from him and that was the last thing he wanted. He needed to get as much information on her and her helper, he needed everything he could get his hands on.“He said he prefers being in the shadows and I know what you’re going to say.” Nora sighed and Jake raised an eyebrow as he turned his head, finally looking away from the TV to look at his sister.“Really? What did you t

“You’re to wait at the address….” Nora sighed as she stared down at her phone, the brightness burning her eyes as she got out of her car and made her way to the place the stranger had asked her to wait.The night burned before it even began and while she stood, while she was glad and happy that she was finally going to be seeing her sisters, Nora couldn’t help but fidget.Questions ran through her mind as she waited for the signal, her heart was racing and nothing she tried could’ve stopped it from racing.Should she have told Jake about the plan? Should she have asked him to come with her for some sort of emotional support at least?“Pull yourself together, Nora!” She clapped her cheeks as she took another step forward, finally stopping where the stranger had specifically asked her to, her fingers trembling around the straps of her jacket.She could hear almost everything happening in the city, it was as though she could hear it breathing, the occasional bark of a dog, footsteps scut

“Ah! I can’t believe I have to play informant for the same people that I wanted to wreck,” Jake smiled as he looked through his binoculars, watching everything play out right in front of him.A wicked smirk tugged at the side of his lips and he gave in to it quicker than anyone could ever imagine as he reached into the bag of chips that was sitting beside him.“I’m sorry, Nora, I genuinely cannot sit back and watch you succeed with your stupid plan, that would be bad for me.” He muttered as he crunched on the chips.He couldn’t sit back, just like Nora was in contact with the person helping her from behind the scenes on the phone, he too, hadn't seen the man he was talking to.HOURS AGO.“She just left the house, I was lucky enough to have eavesdropped and found out that they are planning to rescue her sisters.” Jake said into the phone as soon as Nora stepped out.He was standing by the window and had waited for her to drive off before calling that number.He had been spying on his s
