"Hmm"
Keeping the photo aside he observed the next material in the file...it was a picture of a family of three..
Taking a closer look, the faces of the couple looked like he had seen them before even when its technically impossible...but then child, she had a striking resemblance to someone he knew.....
"According to rumors Carlos is said to be a ruthless mafia lord that is in charge and is the head of all underworld operations in the whole of north America, who takes whatever he wanted and whenever he wanted it, be it your land, your ranch, your business or even any member of your family, the police force in majority of this countries are practically on his payroll...
Now, it was said that he approached the Montreal family that he wanted to purchase their land, they politely rejected him which led to the demise...."
"But you don't think that is the entire truth now, do you?" Davin asked keenly observing the family picture...
"Exactly, I did some digging and I found out that he murdered the couple because they refused to hand their fifteen year old daughter to him as he requested, the police of cause tried to bury any evidence linking Carlos to the Montreal's assassination" he Stated...
Hearing this Davin felt an unexplainable anger rise in his heart...
'How can someone be such a monster' he wondered in his head.
"So how did you get this information so fast" Davin asked...
"Well luckily there was a young police officer who wasn't as corrupt as the system...amd he happened to the a childhood friend with the daughter of the deceased...."
"He was reluctant at first but later provided me with every piece of information I needed, including this drive that contains everything he had on Carlos" he said handing Davin a flash drive..
Taking the hard drive he put it aside and refocused his attention on the little information they had on the girl..
"What happened to the girl" he asked, but his instincts were already pointing him to a direction but he needed to be certain...
"Well, rumors had it that she committed suicide and died after her parents were killed.....now this is where it gets interesting...."
"There was a grave with the name Davina Montreal written boldly on the headstone but nothing was in the coffin that was buried" the PI said...
Davin wasn't really surprised given the fact that fact that the person he suspected to be the girl on the photo was still alive and well..
"So she never committed any suicide" Davin asked curiously.
"No actually she did tried to kill herself repeatedly but was saved each and every time..., I totally understood her..." the PI felt incredibly distressed as he narrated this story...he couldn't imagine his own daughter going through such hardship..
"her parents were brutally murdered in front of her, and afterwards was dragged off to the alter to be married off to Diablo, but she outrightly rejected him in front of everyone...."
Davin pursed his lips and couldn't help but feel stressed on hearing this sad story...
"Davina Montreal, that's the name of the daughter?" Davin asked..
"Yes that's her name,now to be certain she was alive I went as far as checking the records at the mortuary where she was allegedly buried during that time...but i couldn't find anything about her" the PI said..
'That's because she is still alive' Davin said in his head...
"Any other thing that I need to know" he asked...
"Yes, the young police officer said that he was certain that his friend was alive somewhere and he would find her..."
"According the information on this flash drive, they couldn't find her body after she was declared dead on arrival to the hospital during her seventh suicidal attempt....the police of cause tried to cover it up but he immediately hacked and deleted every footage in the hospital that could implicate their plan..." The PI said..
Confused davin asked..."which plan?...He helped her escape?"
"No, but the moment he heard from some officers saying that her dead body was missing, he immediately ran to the hospital and hacked into the hospital's security system, that was how he saw her frail body escape through the fire exit,after making a copy of the video he deleted every hospital footage that could help find her and planted a virus into the system, an act that could buy her enough time to escape..
According to him he said since he didn't have the power and the resource to save her from diablo, concealing and helping with her escape was all he could do at the time...atleast give her a head start and delay the police investigation" the PI narrated...
"Hmm" looking at his watch it was already five pm and he needed to be at his family's mansion for the party, he will look into the drive later..
They talked for another few minutes, before the PI left...
Washing up in the shower, his mind couldn't help but trailing off to pair of Hazel eyes he saw this afternoon..he couldnt help but wonder how she escaped the country...
He had promised he wasn't gonna run a background checks on her and technically he didn't, he just needed information on her trailers and in the process stumbled on the most horrid information he had ever heard in his life.....probably something she would never want any soul to find out...
She had a horrible past but still turned things around for herself, built a wonderful company and became successful, even going toe and toe with him at the award night...he chuckled at the last part.
Thinking about this last part , he felt his heart swell....he couldnt help but be Proud of the women she had became...
The incessant ringing of his phone woke him from his reverie as he walked out of the bathroom..
"Where are you bro" Kelvin asked...
" I'm coming" Davin replied thinking that the reason Kelvin called was because of the party..
"Have you seen what's trending" Kelvin asked trying to stifle his laugh..
"Go straight to the point am busy" Davin said in a blase manner whilst rubbing cream on his sexy tanned body...
"You know what, why don't I leave it to you to find out" Kelvin said laughing softly...
He was happy he had seen something he would use to mess with him, and he could never let the chance pass..
"Bye brother, see you at the party" Kelvin said and hung up...
Davin picked his phone and browsed through the internet and the first thing he saw were pictures of kathryn laughing with kim and rebecca...
His heart skipped a beat when he saw the bright smile on their faces...his lips curved into a beautiful smile and he unconsciously caressed the side of Kathryn's face..
Moving on he saw a headline that boldly stated "President Davin and President Kathryn allegedly in a secret relationship"
There was even a photo of him and Kathryn at the restroom hallway the night of the after party.... and the angle the picture was taken made it seem as though they were having an intimate conversation..
He couldn't help but let out a throaty laugh when he saw it...he couldn't for the life of him understand this people...
Just then a call came in from his PR manager..
"Sir, I am working with the media team to remove your name from the trending news and also call the media houses spreading this outrageous rumors to delete their headlines" he went straight to the point...
One of the qualities davin liked about him...
"You will do neither" davin replied and hung up..
Going back to the internet, that was when he even noticed that his name and Kathryn's name were both trending along side eachother with the hashtag #Davryn, he laughed out loud "what is even that?" He asked to no one in particular.
Shaking his head he Logged off from the internet, went into his closet and picked out a body fitted black custom made D&G suit, black bow tie with diamond cufflinks and a diamond encrusted pair of shoe, and not forgetting his mask.
Checking himself out in the mirror, he liked what he saw, and just then it hit him...he was never like this, as a matter of fact, he could care less about dressing up for anyone, but now....
"You will be the end of me Kathryn" he whispered before leaving his room.

"Boss, you need to see this", a lackey ran into the mansion to call the boss..
outside the gate of their mansion were packages of different sizes but no one dared to open it without their bosses approval..
"Open all the boxes" Carlos ordered as his men scurried around to open the bosses and was mortified by what they saw..
