Chapter 220
220. Dreykov had been on Petra's trail ever since she left to wherever and she got him to let go for one day. But that didn't mean his job was over. If there was one thing he wouldn't risk again, it was fucking up orders from Devin Stone. Two days had passed since then, and now he stood outside her study door, waiting for her to finish up. When Petra finally got out of her study, she was relieved to not see Dreykov. She took a few steps forward, and he suddenly seemed to materialise before her. "Really?" She asked, annoyed, partially at the fact that he was there, and partially at the fact that she didn't realise it. "You're still at this?" Dreykov shrugged. "I'm just taking orders, don't blame the messenger." "Orders." She muttered, rolling her eyes. "Of course. You're like a shadow that I can't run away from." "Better a shadow than a bullet in your back." Dreykov shot back. Petra sighed as she walked to her private suite. "I can't do this tonight. I'm drained. Y
Chapter 219
219.Petra had been searching for something good to wear to her outing with friends. All her clothes were perfect, but she wanted something that screamed "I'm a fun, gorgeous entrepreneur who can turn serious in the blink of an eye!" She needed something to take her mind off of everything that had been happening, and a hangout with the girls would just fix her spirits just right. But then, something caught her eye. She saw a bit of scorched paper poking out from the bottom of her wardrobe. Her heart jumped. "There's no way..." She bent towards it, pushing aside coats and a pile of scarves to get it in full view. There it was, wedged behind an old handbag, the half-burnt, charred at the edges, the same file she had hidden. Of all the places to find it, she didn't think it would be in her clothes. She picked it up, clutching it against her chest. "I can't believe this." She whispered to herself in relief. She had done so much, and now it wasn't going to go to waste. But how
Chapter 218
218. The room looked magnificent, and with the major colours being the darkest black and richest of reds, it also looked intimidating. Eva’s perfume filled the air as she sat on her personal throne-like-seat, looking every bit the queen of her castle. Yvonne Hall entered quietly, looking around. She had been summoned, and when Eva summoned, you didn’t keep her waiting. But she was confused as to why Eva, the woman whom she had originally mistaken for Kia, was asking for her presence. The woman was powerful, and she was intimidated by her. No pressure. “Well, well, well.” Eva said with an unamused smile. “You came.” Yvonne forced a small smile of her own. “You asked for me, Miss Eva. I didn’t think I had a choice to not come.” “Good. Now I see that you’re also a smart girl.” Eva purred. She motioned to the empty chair across from her. “Sit. Smart women like you are just my type.” Yvonne obeyed, straightening her back as she sat, pretending to not be intimidated. Eva coul
Chapter 217
217. Petra was in her robe, sitting cross-legged on the couch that was once a mess of leather and foam spilling out, holding a half-drunk cup of coffee that was growing cold in her hand. In her head, the living room still looked like a crime scene, even though it looked better than brand new. Her nerves hadn't calmed since the break-in. That was when she got informed that she had a visitor. Petra looked at the clock. It was almost 10:00am, and she had not been expecting any callers. Devin had access to come up immediately, so that left him out. Who could it be? A reporter? She looked at the maid and shook her head. No, all her servants had been told to turn away reporters, and she was sure that Dreykov was turning them away as well. "Thank you, Nelson. I'll be down soon." The maid nodded and left back to do his duties while she pushed herself up, muttering as she walked down to where visitors where received. "If this is another fucking reporter I swear I'll—" She pulled
Chapter 216
216. CRASH! The sound of glass shattering echoed in the private gym. Dreykov just stood there, his hands behind his back, and his head down as Devin hurled the second glass against the wall. He made a mental note to get people to clean it up, but not right now. Devin was fuming. "You fucking failed me, Dreykov!" Devin yelled. "What are you even here for?" Dreykov want pleased, but he didn't dare to speak. He'd been through Devin's tempers before, few but terrifying. The man didn't like excuses, and he didn't like silence either, but there was nothing he could have said right that could make the situation better. It could only get worse if he spoke. Devin was still glaring at him. "She was in that house alone. Do you know what could have happened to her if she was there earlier? Do you even fucking understand what that means? Someone got inside and ruined her space! That's my fiancée!" Devin shook his head and started to pace, dressed in a loose shirt and his gym shorts. He
Chapter 215
215. It was exactly 11:43pm when Petra pulled into the driveway. She was exhausted. She had been feeling extremely tired and fatigued ever since… since her engagement, actually, the shooting, and Mat. She hated being in a constant state of tiredness. And now, she was worried about Devin, how much more could she take? “Finally home.” She muttered under her breath. “God, I need a drink and a shower. And maybe Devin.” She contemplated calling him over, but thought better of it. Devin was someone who was instinctive, he would pick on her mood and she’d be spilling all she knew before she could stop herself. She couldn’t have that now. The night was quieter than usual, and the greetings from her security men didn’t do much to fill the air as she went up to her suite. But then, something was wrong. The door wasn’t fully closed. She always made sure to lock her doors when she wasn’t home, believing that one could never be too careful, and she had only leaned on it slightly, and it f
