198: A Search For The Truth
After a brief stuttering, Sharon mouthed, “‘Cause I wanted you right here, at this moment. If a strange caller requested to speak with you and chose her abode, would you oblige?”Without hesitation, Star shook her head in approval.“Exactly, most likely you'd cut the call on me and not consider it. In fact, you'd think I'm one of those ill-driven netizens who really want to harm you after the Haydens' brawl occurred.”Star's expression said it all: Sharon was spot on!Sharon stood and sat beside Star, her head slightly lowered as the conversation was getting intense once more.“I had to hook you with two moves: reveal about Eunice not being your biological mother and my intention to buy off your sole business assets.”“A while ago when I caught you tiptoing behind me. I told you that you'd find the answers that you seek and even more.”Star's knees buckled while listening. She thought Eunice was clothed in scheme and mystery, but the woman she had been with for almost an hour was in a
197: Different Method
Sharon Grace winked a beam and snapped her fingers before stepping off to the wine bar leaving Star Hayden in stunned silence.A thought struck Star, and she was consumed by cold chills as she wondered if what she was thinking was actually what it seemed.Her eyes widened in shock and disbelief, while goosebumps prickled deep within her sensory organs. She pinched herself a few times to be certain she wasn't dreaming.Everyone knew the founder of GracyMotion Arts Limited was Sharon Grace but the face behind the name hadn't been known in years. Google would educate you on the name of the brain behind the company but wouldn't show the image of the personnel.Both women exchanged muted eye glances with thoughts whirling in their minds. The day's event was completely twisted from how Star had envisaged it.Her eyes shifted from the artistic designs and focused on other materials in the simple well-to-do abode.Sharon returned with two glasses of wine and a bottle of rich champagne. She fi
196: Artworks
In less than a minute, Star hit the road and trailed the stranger as her gut feeling kept whispering. She didn't know why she had to track the mysterious caller except trying to find out if Felix's hands were on it.Still on the road, Achilles and the Faithfuls were stunned to silence while driving back to the penthouse. The thought about the doppëlganger that Michael mentioned kept reliving in their heads.Achilles couldn't wait to get home so they'd give proper thoughts to the latest development.The question has shifted from Michael texting Margaret ‘cause of the buzz on social media to his path crossing with Brig. Anthony's mysterious replica.Achilles had been processing a certain discussion his father had engaged with him a couple of years ago. He didn't know a time would come when that conversation would be of importance.“Warlord, you've got five minutes more.”Brig. Scott had kept Achilles apprised, like they always did, whenever they handled the wheels.Star had considered r
195: Worth The Sell
“What's going to be Star?”The stranger reiterated with precision while softly drumming on the small table.Star rolled her eyes at the ‘freedom fighter’ she heard. At first, she didn't know if the intent was sarcastic or genuine, ‘cause she had seen a couple of comments and hashtags on social media with her images attached with the nickname.She noticed that some netizens were taunting her with it, while others meant it and supported her decision to live her life.Star parted her lips a couple of times to mouth a word but had nothing to say as she continually processed the stranger’s offer.She understood the dynamics that came with the offer, and her next decision would make or mar her. What was it going to be?The present situation was a test of her ‘will’ to be decisive and find a path soothing for her against Eunice's influence. Would she make the right decision?After a moment, the stranger said, “I have no intention of rebranding your sole company if you agree to sell.”Star ra
194: Dear Freedom Fighter
On having access to her sole business, she would want to see how the strange caller intended to achieve that, given how dare the company meant to her.“Star, ever since your ex-husband, Achilles Hector vanished without a trace, something had died in you! Well, not like he was ever your husband. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.”Star stood in gripping shock and bulged her eyes, “Who the hell are you? How did you gain access to such information?”Star knew the schemy plot against Achilles Hector was limited to a few like-minded personalities at a time. How did the weird caller get hold of what really happened?She questioned with flickering eyes, “Are you one of Felix’s associates? Oh, I get it, he put you on this? Wow!”“Felix wants access to my sole company? Is that what this is all about? He knew that Eunice wasn't my biological mother and kept pretending. Really? I should have known that player was a wasted being.”The strange figure couldn't contain the laughter growing fr
193: A Flee From The Truth
Star Hayden burst into a loud giggle, and a glisten of tears clung in her eyes. The mysterious figure joined her and laughed so hard too.“Are you done? I thought you wanted to chuckle some more?”Star narrowed her eyes in shock and leaned backwards for a while. She didn't expect that the mysterious caller would join the bandwagon.That was a stark contrast to what Felix or Eunice would do in similar situations. They'd have wondered why she was cracking up but not the exact response she expected from the weird figure before her.The mysterious figure clicked the tongue which reeked of sarcasm. “Oh, you seem surprised? Not everyone would react like your purported mum.”Star blinked an eyelid with a puzzle, it felt like the strange fellow could read through her head.“You want my sole Hayden company?”The mysterious personnel nodded affirmatively without second thoughts.Aside from the Hayden Enterprise, which was sold into shreds in an auction. Eunice and Star had their sole business s
