Chapter 37 - Chapter 37

"How dare you record me without my consent. That's harassment!" Gloria tried to play the victim.

"Hey, quit the act. I know what you need and now I have gotten more than enough evidence to put you behind bars," Detective James said.

"You can't put me behind bars just because I lied about the Nigerian prince," Gloria acted unfazed.

"True but I can and will get you locked up for the disappearance of your friend, Ella." The detective said.

"And what proof do you have that I had anything to do with Ella's disappearance?"

"Oh it will shock you how much evidence I got. For one I know you were with Ella at the club the night she went missing despite testifying you had not been with her the entire day and don't even try to deny it because I have surveillance footages as prove, couple with the fact that you intentionally provided false, fabricated culprit as a decoy to mislead and manipulate the case away from you. Smart move, really smart move but your games are over," the detective said and Gloria was speechless for a minute.

She was in a really tight corner and she wasn't seeing any way to escape. The detective has figured out what she did and she is in a very hot mess.

There is only one thing I can do now

"Alright, alright. I accept I was with Ella the night before she went missing but I wasn't the cause of her disappearance. You have to believe me. She is my best friend and I can't possibly harm her." 

Gloria called upon her acting skills as she wore a pity-remorseful look.

"Then why did you lie about not being with her and also create a false culprit?" The detective asked tactfully.

"I did that because I was scared. I knew if the police knew I was with her that night then I would be the prime suspect in the case and I don't know how to prove my innocence so the only thing that came to my mind was to lie about not being with her that day and because I was nervous I stupidly cooked up the story of the Nigerian prince but pease you have to believe me I have nothing to do with Ella's disappearance." 

Gloria is indeed a great liar and a perfect actress but the detective wasn't going to fall for her tricks.

"Well I guess you will have to tell that to the judge," he said, his expression showing that he didn't believe her story one bit.

Detective James turned to leave.

"Wait!" Gloria called out and he paused.

"What.." he said but his jaws dropped straight down with what he saw.

Gloria had loosen the towel round her chest and it fell down to the floor leaving her standing completely naked. 

"I am sure we can reach a mutual agreement that will benefit both of us. What do you say, detective?" 

Gloria spoke seductively as she slowly approached him, intentionally rocking her body slightly so that her boobs bounces about to arouse and stimulate his sexual senses.

The detective was left speechless at what was going on. Gloria is a beautiful woman and she has a very desirable body so of course the detective liked what he saw in fact he was aroused by it.

Gloria slowly placed her soft hands on his body and gently massaged his chest up to his head.

"What do you say, detective? Don't you want to have a taste of this?" 

She said referring to herself as she simultaneously moved her hand down his body to his manhood- giving it a little squeeze.

"Ah," The detective groaned in pleasure and he could feel the sexual tension in his body gathering together like he was about to explode up in pieces.

"You can have all of these anytime or place. All I ask of you is that you don't involve my name in this case," she said, kissing on his ear and giving his manhood gentle squeezes.

It was a very tempting offer. So tempting that the detective had visualized himself fucking Gloria's mouth in the most brutal way possible. All he needed to do for this to be a reality is to say 'Yes.'

"So what do you say, detective? Do we have a deal?" Gloria asked and from the look on the detective's face she could tell he was going to accept her offer.

There is no way he is going to refuse me. I got him trapped like a mouse in a cheese trap.

"No!" The detective response got Gloria baffled.

"What?" 

"You can't bribe your way out of this. You have to pay for your crimes," the detective said, pulling away from Gloria's grasp. 

"Are you refusing me?..you can't." Gloria was still in disbelief that she got rejected.

Its not just possible.

The detective scoffed. "I suggest you go get yourself a very good lawyer and I will have to tell Mike everything. He is the one that hired me after all," the detective gave out a faint smile at the stunned looking Gloria.

"Goodnight," he said, then left her house.

Gloria was left disoriented and disjointed when the detective left. It felt like her whole world was crashing down before her face.

Picking up the towel from the ground and covering her body with it she went into her room.

I can't let him say what he knows to the police. I can't let him say what he knows to Mike. That will be the end of me.

"But what can I do? I am so confused. Oh God!" She paced up and down her room anxiously and hopelessly.

She was already planning on how to run away, leave the country so that the law doesn't catch up with her when suddenly an idea came to her mind.

Quickly picking up her phone she made a call.

"Hello..."

"Can you walk by yourself or do you need to be carried?" Marcel asked as we got to the mansion.

His question made me shy and embarrassed.

"Of course I can walk," I replied rather aggressively to cover the fact that I was blushing.

"Alright. Walk gently through," he said as the driver opened up the car door.

Why is worried about me? Is he perhaps feeling guilty for pushing me to the ground and causing me injuries? It kinda seems so.

"You know you don't have to act like you care about me because you are feeling guilty. I have been through worse things," I said.

"You mistake my intentions," he said, then walked ahead of me to the building.

What a strange man. What a strange handsome man.

Getting to my room I started undressing as I wanted to have my bathe but then my hand touched something uneven on the skin of my lower leg and I took my eyes to it. It was the plaster that Marcel used to treat my wounds.

A silly smile formed on my face as I replayed in my head the scene where Marcel held my legs tenderly and nursed my wounds and just remembering it was making me feel a type of way.

I found myself biting my lower lips while massaging my leg imagining he was the one doing it.

You shameless slut!

I quickly reprimanded myself and hurried to the bathroom to wash myself clean from skin dirt as well as dirty thoughts...

*

Detective James was feeling proud of himself as he was able to resist Gloria's tempting seduction. He knew 9 times out of 10 he would have succumbed to her seductive body. This case today is just the exemption.

Driving to a direction known to him he picked up his phone and dialed a number...

Mike who was at his work place busy working on his system but couldn't concentrate properly as he was busy wondering how his life which he thought he had planned perfectly well is every single day turning into a hot mess before his eyes.

Since the day his fiancee Ella went missing nothing has been the same. Mike didn't realize how much having Ella in his life had made him happy and successful but now that she isn't here by his side nothing feels right not even Gloria could make him happy. She is just a distraction that only gives him some atom of relief but only temporary when they have sex.

It's just the sex.. nothing else.

His phone on his office desk rang and Mike picked it up to see it was the detective calling which made him hurry up to answer the call.

"Hello. Any news on Ella?" Mike anxiously and urgently spoke.

Detective James who was still driving replied. "Yes. I have just solved the case and I know who is responsible for your fiancée going missing."

"I thought we already knew it's the Nigerian prince," Mike said, sounding confused.

"No, we were being misled. The one responsible for the disappearance of your fiancée is.."

The detective had not finished completing his sentence when a speeding truck from the intersection road came crashing into the side of his vehicle in full force; killing him at the spot .

"Hello... Hello... Detective James... Hello.." Mike was saying from the other end of the line as the call was still on but the detective wasn't responding. 

Mike immediately suspected something was wrong because firstly he heard a loud disturbing noise which was caused by the truck colliding with the detective vehicle but Mike didn't know this and right after the loud noise the detective became unresponsive.

"Is everything alright detective James... Detective.." he kept on saying.

Meanwhile at the accident scene, a man putting on a black coat and dark shades stepped on the dead detective phone that was still speaking, resting on a guts-blooded floor.

Dialing a number the man neared his phone to his right ear.

"The job is done. The nosy detective is dead," the man said smiling as he revealed his face.

He is no one other than the notorious gang leader, Elijah.

"Good job I will wire the remaining of your balance now." Gloria said from the other side a satisfactory smile on her face.
