A feeling of alarm shot through Paige's spine and she winced while looking around, trying to connect the dots on how the nail came to be. Her brother would not be so careless as to let something as dangerous as a nail lying carelessly on an open space, would he?

And for fuck's sake, what was a pack of nails doing in his pocket when he wasn't a carpenter?!

She raked a hand through her hair as a groan escaped her lips. This had to be a setup by Sophie to put them in trouble. Gosh, she hated this attention and how all eyes were glued on them, scrutinizing them like they were some lab rats.

“He looks too proud for my liking. From the moment he got in here and started arguing with the sales lady, I knew he was no good,” A man who had been observing the drama spat. “People like him are empty barrels that makes the loudest noise,”

“What a deranged psycho! Who keeps nails on the path on purpose just to ruin an exotic car?!” A woman shouted, pointing angrily at him. “Look, he isn't even remors

    “What do you mean by the investors backed out?! We were supposed to seal those deals and begin the automobile project immediately!" Ryan stomped a hand on the table as he shouted, staring at the grim faces in front of him.The boardroom went silent as everyone stared at Ryan's angrily twisted face.“I'm not talking to dumb people, am I? What happened to the fucking investors that was supposed to partner with us? The deal was worth millions! Are y'all not doing your work as you should?”A middle aged woman cleared her throat. “Mr Ryan, I think you should calm down. The investors backed out of their own will and not due to anybody's fault,”“That's bullshit!” Ryan scoffed, pointing a finger at her. “Y'all do realize that those people are crucial to the growth of this company, right? We were just about to finalize everything, so give me a logical explanation to why they backed out when everything was going just fine!”“They got a better and mouthwatering profit offer from another firm,”

    Michael's eyes flew open with a start as his gaze registered the unfamiliar environment. His head throbbed loudly and he winced, cursing under his breath.He tried to move, but gasped when both hands and feet remained stuck, chained to a chair. Liquid dripped down from his nose and when his tongue tasted it, it was blood. His blood.“What the…” He muttered in panic, trying to free himself. Then he yelled, his voice echoing against the small stuffy room. “Who the hell did this?!”The door opened at that moment and the men who had abducted him earlier walked in. He growled at them. “You think this is funny? What do y'all asses want?!”Without a word, one of the men walked up to him and removed the chain from his hand. When he was free, he jumped up and swiftly punched one of the men on the face, trying to escape.“Fuck…” He hissed in dread and stopped when the door slammed on his face as he tried to open it. Stepping back, he winced and steadied his fist about to throw a punch when an u

    “Ryan! Where in the trash of hell are you?!” Layla yelled as she kicked open the door to the house. She marched inside, her heels making a loud connection to the ground.She was fuming, her heart pounding so hard against her chest she felt like punching something. Someone.With a loud hiss, she pushed open his office door and cared less as it banged against the wall. Then she stormed towards Ryan and stamped a hand on his desk, causing the files he was working on to float away.“Didn't you hear me yell your name fron outside?” She shouted, annoying flaring in her veins.Ryan stared at her with a disinterested look, trying to understand what gave her the audacity to barge in here and interrupt his work. Already, he was having a bad day and now she wanted to add her misfortune to it?“I'm talking to you, damnit!” Layla yelled in frustration, taking his laptop from the desk and smashing it on the floor.That got Ryan's attention, because he stood up in full blown anger glaring at her wit

  • Chapter 58: Crawl On Your Knees And Beg.

    “Wh…what did you just say?” Layla stuttered, unable to believe her ears. “You're deaf?” Paige scoffed. "Don't tell me your ears are for fancy,"“Y…you want us to kneel outside and shout that we lack modesty?” Dera chuckled, but it was a bitter chuckle. “As how? That's public disgrace!”Paige scoffed. "Remember you wanted to publicly disgrace me some minutes ago? What did you say about arranging a mob to beat me up? Now that the table has turned, isn't it best for me to return the favour? I mean, let you know how it feels to undergo public disgrace,”“I…I'm…I didn't mean…” Dera stuttered, but went silent when Paige laughed mockingly.“Gosh, you can't be serious right now,” Gem added. “Come to your senses and stop being so petty!"“Oh, but I love being petty,” Paige chuckled. “And this seems like the perfect punishment to condescending brats like you. I feel like maybe if you're aware of how uncouth and immature you are, it'll help you in future situation and in relating with others,”

    The manager chuckled. “Adrian? Did you just pretend to call your brother? Someone who abandoned you to rot in prison?” He scoffed. "You're really trying to deceive us with a fake call?”“Why don't we wait to find out?” Paige said.“Gosh, her complete lack of shame repulses me!” Someone spat. “Mr manager don't take this kindly with her. She has to apologize for all the mess she caused!”The manager nodded. “You heard that. You're not leaving until you apologize properly for assaulting my customers and for causing havoc in my store!”“You know I was expecting you to know better, be more civilized and matured than these local brats, but it's obvious you're just as dumb. With this mentality, I don't think you're fit to own a business,” Paige said, anger heating up her cheeks.“What?!” The manager's face reddened, however before he could say another word, his phone rang and he looked at the unknown number on his screen. Thinking it was the police who had call back, he smiled proudly at Pai

    Paige scoffed. “And what happens after the manager comes and nothing is done to me?”Layla sneered. “You think anybody cares about a murderer like you? I'm betting everything I have that you'll be beaten up, taken back to jail and have your pathetic ass locked up! This time, I'll make sure they throw away the keys,”Paige couldn't help but chuckle. If only Layla knew the truth about her release, maybe she won't be spilling such trash.But she wouldn't say it, she wouldn't reveal the real truth about the case. It was best to allow Layla wallow in her foolishness. Maybe she'd learn after all of these was over.Around the store, whispers thickened as some people recognized Paige. Some looked at her in disdain, while others felt pity for her. Paige didn't care. People's opinions about her didn't matter.“Are you deaf, young woman? I said call me your fucking manager!” Layla yelled at the saleslady who jerked in shock, before nodding. Quickly, she picked up the telephone and spoke to the
