Vince scanned through the numerous documents lying lazily around on his office table. He had always had them well organized and neatly stacked but today, he didn’t feel so much like perfection. For the past few weeks, he had been so clumsy in his handling of works that some critics had started surfacing in forms of subtle jokes.Kate Finn, his grandmother had left too many puzzles for him to uncover which was eating him up. Bernard Harris’s return wasn’t without controversies. Vince’s bodyguards were wary of him but Vince knew there was more to his game than killing him off.A soft knock sounded at the door and when he looked up, his secretary walked in with a tall pale man right behind him and then another person, Gabriella Carris.“Mr Harris, they are here.” His secretary said, bowed slightly and turned to leave.Vince was agape. He had forgotten that he had instructed his secretary to bring in Mr Elliot whenever he arrived, and what the heck was Gabriella doing right there!“Mr Fi

Vince and Jake drove to the mansion in silence. Each lost in his own mind. Vince had refused his bodyguards riding with them and asked them to ride in the two other cars following him. He wanted to have his private moment with Jake but when the opportunity arose, he was too overwhelmed to take it.The car came to an abrupt stop in front of the house. Vince looked at the side mirror and saw that the bodyguards had caught up to them. Jake was about to exit from the car but Vince stopped him.“Let’s talk more Mr Darius, I apologize for accusing you earlier.”“I was disappointed Mr Finn but I accept your apology.”“Thank you.”Jake nodded his head affirmatively but he didn’t know what else to say to Vince. He hadn’t planned to return to the mansion as the scorn he was likely to face might break him harder than he already has. He stared longingly at the mansion's massive gate but he knew he didn’t want to walk through it.“You can’t avoid everyone forever, can you?” Vince said, catching

Vince’s eyes were glued to the burgundy suit by the side of the rack. He kept staring intently at it despite knowing it didn’t flatter his skin tone. The urge to look exceptionally bright that evening was starting to get to him for the first time in years.He wanted to dress to impress.“Mr Finn, honestly the blue is a better fit, the fabric will flatter your skin tone.” The young store attendant said politely.She looked away shyly as she expressed herself. Vince’s presence was somewhat intimidating to her, despite it being her job to pick outfits for rich men. She had never felt intense attraction to any of them like she did Vince. It was their second encounter and she still couldn’t resist his charm.“You seem to know more about fabulous fashion.” Vince complimented.The lady smiled weakly, “Thank you Mr Finn, I was a model at one point.”“Oh!” Was all Vince could say.His eyes scanned through her body, this time he took a better look at her body. She was perfect!Young, tall, sli

Maria stared intently at the huge figure standing in the doorway. Her heart sank terribly knowing fully well that it was definitely an unpleasant visit. She didn’t like the fact that she had to host such a person. As the younger man took a few reluctant steps towards her, Amber rushed out of the house and stepped forward.“I will handle this mum, please go tend to your garden.”Maria didn’t like it one bit but she knew her silence was better in the situation. She turned around and made for the house after eyeing the unwanted visitor maliciously. Amber turned her attention squarely towards Jake. Her eyes travelled down to his lower torso. He was well dressed in a suit but the shoes he had on were flat slippers.“I guess you are finally back to your *real me* era.” Amber said mockingly.“I came to talk to you Miss Reed, I have….” Jake started but Amber interrupted.“Stop with the ridicule Jake. Pretending and playing dumb wouldn’t make me change my mind. I won’t allow you the privileg

“If that is all, gentlemen, I would love to be on my way out,” Vince said coldly.The other two men seated across from him exchanged knowing gazes. They had no reason to hold him down, as their investigation hadn’t implicated him or Peak Hills in any way, but they still weren’t convinced that he was innocent.“Mr Finn, my apologies for disrupting your day. My colleagues and I are deeply sorry,” the stout man responded with a forced smile on his face.“Of course. You just set the law firm up for drags. I am certain the media will be having a great time of their lives right now,” Vince responded sarcastically.His actions added a new layer of guilt to the men’s expressions. Over a week earlier, they had received an anonymous email that Peak Hills had a secret ledger for illegal law violations done for their high-profile clients.The investigating team had stormed Peak Hills the previous day, and Vince was invited for vigorous questioning while the company was thoroughly searched.
