"In the dark of night, a forbidden dance begins. Maya, a sultry journalist, is stalked by Trent, a powerful underworld figure with a taste for control. As he watches her every move, the thrill of the chase ignites a dangerous desire. With each step, Maya teeters on the edge of fear and fascination, drawn to the darkness that threatens to consume her. Will she succumb to Trent's sinister allure, or will she turn the tables and make him her next exposé?"
Chapter 1 Meet maya
"Wake up Maya Christ you have been sleeping for hours" Rachel shakes me up from
my slumber. I looked at my wrist as I slowly raised my head. I coughed and pulled
the hair from my lips.
"I've only been asleep for forty minutes" I muttered.
"Well make yourself a stronger coffee" she whined and I wish I could punch her
face.
" What do you want Rachel" I sat up straight owing my ofce
"actually I came to drop these for you"
"New case fles" I muttered and took it from her.
"Rookie says this is a big one and it could probably get you best journalist"
"The editor said that, how nice of him"
"Yes how nice ohh well I have to go deliver this fles to the other bitches" she
turned to go.
"fetch me coffee when you are free please" I said behind her.
"Well you are not a bitch so yes I will" she walked out of my office.
Rachel was what you call a handy man in the ofce but she's just rude. She barely
delivers fles without lacing insults but Rookie likes her doing it as she's his best
friend's daughter and he promised to give her a job. Plus Rachel has the biggest ass
around so it's a delight to have her move around.
I opened the fles and saw my next piece of cake to crack. It was about the
underworld and a guy named Trent. Looking at the information on the fle there was
no information at all. It was all about how dangerous he and how he has so many
loyal workers. I popped the piece of cake from the plate on the table into my
mouth. There were even fewer pictures on Trent in the fle. Most of them were
blurry or just showed him from afar in groups.
I dusted the crumbs of cake from my hand and stretched my hands. As a detective
journalist, the lines sane and insane were very burry. At times It will feel I was
better of in an asylum. I looked out my window to see the well lit metropolis of lld
bay.
I folded my arms and stared into oblivion. I stayed iked that for an extra hour. I
knew that because the clock in the office chimed indicating closing hours. It woke
me up from my trance and I cleaned up the drool from my face. I looked at the table
and saw the cofee I had asked for in a steel cup nicely covered. I opened it and felt its warmth. I know Rachel had done it not knowing when I would be in my trances. I
drank from the cup and relished the taste. Rachel is far from a bitch to me.
It was already seven which means the night crew were already setting up for the
news at eight. After taking in every last drop of my coffee, I took out my burner
phone and texted Xar.
Me: howdy
Xar: what do you need
Me: information on Trent
Xar: I know him
Me: how long do you need
Xar: two days at least I can get his background information.
Me: great see you in two days
Xar: $1500
Me: $700
Xar: $1000
Me: fine second account $500 for a start.
Xar: see you in two days.
I switched of my burner phone and put it back in my bag. After slipping into my
coat, I walked out my office. I was almost at the elevator when I heard my name.
"Maya?" I turned to see David. David was a news star here at fash news and he
was... well handsome. That's all.
"Hi David" I gave him my best leave me alone smile.
"You are looking extra good looking today" he scanned me from head to toe, his
eyes lingering on my bust area.
What a prick "Thanks" I pushed the button and the elevator doors split open. "I
work hard to look this way"
"Wanna grab coffee tomorrow, I could come an hour earlier just for you" he said as
I entered the elevator.
"No thanks, I'm busy" I pushed the button to the first floor and the doors closed in
his ridiculous face.Inside the elevator I breathed deeply and calmed my nerves. If not that I love to
keep my job her at fash news, I'd be throwing punches in his face every time I see
him. David had probably slept with everyone in the office except me and he was
intent on doing so.
Sleeping with me would be his trump card. I'd kill him before he gets near me
naked.
As I stepped out of the elevator, the reception was packed with a lot people, most of
them ready to make complaints.
I subtly walked through the door to where the cars were parked. As I wasn't a face
of Flash news I wasn't even given the slightest attention ...well except for the men
and women ogling in my beauty. I wasn't seen as important. But I can't say the
same about David. Before I climbed into my black jeep I checked the back seat and
the rear. I checked under the car and the tires and when I was satisfied I got into
the car and started the engine. I checked to see if the brakes were working just fine.
When I was certain I closed the door and locked it from the inside. I am a detective
journalist after all it's not strange someone has tried to kill me before and would try
again. I drove out of the complex on full speed heading straight to the safety of my
Cozy house two miles away.
