Unbelievable

Emma stared at Maya in utter disbelief at her revelation. It was like a storm had just hit her and she stood horribly still. There was no way she'd heard that right. Was-was she being called a whore? And for what? Seduction?

She couldn't understand the direction things were moving. Here she was being accused of seducing Mr Quinn when in actuality, it was him who had behaved inappropriately towards her. There was no way she'd take this. She'd speak to Maya and she'd listen. She had to!

She walked home devastated completely oblivious of the world around her. Twenty-four hours!

In twenty-four hours, everything had come crashing down. It was like a horrible hurricane had hit her and there was no way the damages could be fixed. She felt; hopeless.

...

A new day...

She was awoken by a terrible nightmare. Memories of the night before came flooding in suffocating her. She felt the pang of pain in her heart and suddenly she became breathless. She tried catching her breath but it seemed to be leaving her lungs at an increasing rate. She reached for the jug of water on the cupboard at the left side of her bed and poured herself a glass. She took a sip, then two sips and in a few seconds, the glass was emptied. She climbed out of her bed frantically rushing towards the mirror on the left side of her room and gaped in horror at the sight that met her.

"Maya I think you should go for it."

"Sure I will, I mean who in their right minds would miss such an opportunity." She grinned wildly. So far despite all the mishaps of the day before, the day has been going great. Earlier today,she had received a call from Mr Quinn on a dinner invitation and she wasn't going to miss it for the world. Getting hooked up with Mr Quinn has been every girl's dream and so was hers. The man has been bestowed the most eligible bachelor of the year and every girl practically drools over him. His godlike image was something every girl could die for and she was no different.

At Quinn's...

"Dev what game is this you're playing now? I mean you'd frantically rejected the collaboration after the little miss's incident and now you've invited the CEO to dinner? I really don't understand what it is that goes through that thick head of yours, do you know that?"

"Relax Dami I know what I'm doing. You and I both know that life is a game of chess especially in the business world. You just have to make the right moves and use your porns smartly to defeat your enemies. Sure I had called of the deal but I've changed my mind. The collaboration with Louis corp is an opportunity to expand Quinn even further and as a result kicking our competitors of the chart,"he replied grinning wildly.

"Ok, but you could have just done that without tormenting the miss. What was the need for that?"Damien questioned frantically. Lately he's been worried about Deven as it seemed he's gotten crazier by the minute. The friend he'd know twenty years ago wasn't the same person he knew now. Lately, Damien had become more aloof,more cold, most importantly...more dangerous.
