Achilles and Brig. Stones had been on the camera privacy invasion case for a while and it hasn't been a smooth path.

A and H Luxury Dior female staff had expressed their complaints about the situation, asking questions about why the deceased female staff member, whom they had embraced as a friend, would do such a thing to them.

Achilles advised George while in office, he shouldn't spill all details about the incident that occurred the day the female staff died, given the fact that there should be an insider who had a tail on the deceased young girl.

Achilles also instructed him to assure the staff members that everything was under control but ensure they were in the dark about the recovered flash drive.

Failure of that would most likely trigger more panic among the female staff members and also give the insider a heads-up on what was on the ground.

The least the staff members should know was about the death of a second party which Achilles was certain the external contractors should a

  • 202: Shame|Regrets|Protection

    Star’s words were an obvious question that Sharon Grace had expected. She was already putting in the response in her tongue before Star spilled it out.Without hesitation, Sharon obliged, “We share a lot of traits dear. I haven't been bold enough to confront my actions in the past and come for you. The same way you had lived under the shackles of Eunice Hayden and didn't fight for your will till recently.”She pecked Star's arms and continued, “Seeing how boldly you stood against them, I wept in shame for giving fate the opportunity of getting you into Haydens' household in the first place. You wouldn't have had any business there if not for my past regrettable deeds.”Sharon's words were gradually taking shape, and Star was willing to listen to every hint of sound she made while at it.Sharon sniffled and shook her head in self-disappointment. “After your brawl with Eunice and Felix. I knew there was no going back in doing what must be done. It was crystal clear that I shouldn't deve

  • 201: “Are They Still Alive?”

    Sharon Grace shivered in shock at Star Hayden’s reaction and, most especially, at her statement: Hey, momma.While entertaining the most unbelievable embrace of her life, it took her quite a while to come to terms with the reality that Star was actually hugging her.Several thoughts kept crashing in her head that she kept musing to make sense of everything, ‘What is she really planning to do? This isn't ordinary! She just embraced and called me momma. What if she had a malicious plan in store?’Her head was continually jumbled with questionable thoughts about Star, and her breath came in sharp gasps.She slowly returned to reality when she could feel Star's heartbeat against her chest and noticed her biological daughter was doing all she could to calm her nerves down.The mother's instincts struck her—she moved her right fingers towards Star’s back and softly caressed her shoulders to relax her nerves.Within moments of doing that, gently, Star drew a thick exhalation and her throbbin

  • 200: Finally

    Star, on seeing Sharon's yielding expression, charged on. “You're the most diplomatic woman I've encountered. You didn't stay focused on my affairs and Gabrielle's just for nothing. C’mon, you aren't jobless and whatever you give your time must be worth it! What is it you're not saying? I promise I'd give a listening ear no matter how stupid it sounds.”“Tell me all the secrets! You can't keep shutting me out from knowing what I need to know!”Sharon let out a sharp exhalation and nodded. “Ye-yeah. I can't keep burying the truth in me, nor did I plan to take it to my grave.”After a few moments of subtle eye contact from Sharon, she proceeded, “You're right all along. I have been in your life for a reason and not because I just wanted to keep close tabs on a certain Damsel called: Star Hayden.”Star's breath hitched for a moment as she wished Sharon wouldn't stop halfway in and decide not to speak again about it.Dr. Lloyd had the same thoughts wandering through his mind and hoped Sha

  • 199: Knocking On Paradise Door

    Instantly, Sharon Grace froze in her seat, her eyes fixated on one of her beautiful artistic works on the wall.Time seemed to slow down as Star’s last words sank into her heart. She was quite aware of Ms. Hayden's inquisitiveness, and she wouldn't leave her apartment without answers.Dr. Lloyd's ears perked up in utmost anticipation to grasp what was more behind the whole drama. His fingers were already on his device, in keeping Achilles apprised immediately Sharon finally got talking.Star slammed her feet against the tilted floor, completely pissed off with Sharon's incessant silence.She shirked, thick veins thrust on her forehead, “You said I'd find even more information than expected. Why are you betraying your words?”“You need to say something!”A thousand times over, Star stared at the portrait of little self with Sharon Grace while holding her passionately.So many thoughts crashed into her mind, and she wished Sharon would provide answers to her gutted questions.She didn't

  • 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.
