âBoss⦠Do you want to get out?â Horace had his heart in his mouth now.
Through the rearview mirror, he looked at Theodore, who was sitting in the back seat in silence.
The air in the car warned him of the incoming storm.
He couldnât help admiring Ariana for being so bold.
He had never witnessed anyone speak to Theodore like that.
The air in the car seemed to be stilled until Theodore finally spoke in a commanding tone.
âGet the wheelchair.
â
âYes, boss!â Horace felt a huge surge of relief.
He got out of the car to get the wheelchair from the trunk.
He looked forward to going home after taking his boss into the house.
Ariana tucked Alina in bed as soon as she got into her bedroom.
She then called one of her friends, Sonia Yates, who happened to be a paparazzo.
A displeased female voice came from the other end of the line as soon as it was connected.
âYou bad girl, so you finally remembered me tonight? I thought you forgot about me! Which hole did you vanish into? I havenât heard from you for weeks.
â
Ariana tried to calm her down.
âIâm sorry, Sonia.
A lot of things have happened recently.
â
âIs that so? In that case, tell me what you have been up to.
What made you vanish without a trace?â Sonia fumed.
Ariana briefly explained her recent situation.
She then inquired about the scandal involving Sarah and Lynch.
âI knew it! I knew you didnât call to check up on me.
You only called because you need my help, huh?â Sonia snorted and started spilling her guts.
âThe reasonable pressmen know that Lynch set Sarah up.
Itâs obvious that the s@x tape was recorded by a hidden camera planted in the room.
Thereâs no way Sarah knew that she was being recorded.
The main issue now is that her boyfriend put out a statement where he apologized to Lynch.
He also said that Sarah cheated on her then-husband with him.
His confession has made it impossible for Sarah to defend herself.
Itâs a big setup.
Clearing this up will be extremely hard.
Ariana was confused.
âSince they have been divorced for more than a year, why is Lynch causing trouble for Sarah now? Canât he just move on?â

Sonia scoffed and said in a low voice, âLynch is at playboy.
Actually, calling him a playboy is putting it lightly.
Heâs a dog! Recently, I heard his new bitch is a senior manager of his agent company.
She doesnât like Sarah, so she asked him to do something to ruin Sarahâs career.
â
The pieces of the puzzle were finally coming together.
This was why Sarah was at the receiving end of the whole drama!
Ariana got angry after this realization.
She inquired, âIs there a way to dig up dirt on him?â
After a momentâs silence, Sonia answered, âYeah, I guess so.
â
âTell me!â Ariana said anxiously.
âWell, I have a flash drive.
The information on his phone can be stolen easily as long as I can get it connected for a while.
But Lynch is a vigilant man.
Several paparazzi have been keeping tabs on him, but they still havenât gotten anything incriminating.
Heâs always one step ahead of them and cleans his tracks pretty well.
I hate to say this but itâs practically impossible to get close to him.
â Ariana pondered hard and made a decision.
âYou know what? Just help me get his schedule.
Iâll find a way to approach him.
â
Later that night, a strange noise from the window woke Ariana up from her deep slumber.
It was raining heavily outside.
The heavy raindrops were hitting the window hard.
The air was so cold.
Ariana turned around, intending to check on Alina who was supposed to be asleep beside her.
To her utter surprise, the space was empty and cold.
Where did Alina go?
