Dangerous Desires Novel

94 At The Office

Tia.

I headed to Diamond corp after telling Luke about the clean-out. I was glad he took it well. I just hoped we wouldn’t have any more surprises. Since I was going to drive, I decided to take the mini coupe. It was easier to manoeuvre on the road. I got in and zoomed off to Diamond Corp.

The military force I met at the entrance was impressive. Looking at them, I remembered the deserters and territories we might have lost. I felt a bit bad about our family’s situation. This man was ahead of us, and he was hitting us hard. Luis was at a greater advantage than we were

se he knew us. He knew who we were, what we looked like and where we lived. We did not have any information about him except what he allowed us to know, which was dangerous.

I alighted the mini coupe, handed the key to the parking valet, and made my way into the building. Military officers held people in groups, and I did not spare one glance at them. This was not the time to show kindness and sympathy. This was the time to find out who was the traitor among them. An alpha was needed to question them. They were a lot of people, but it was necessary. I knew I might have to ask for help from neighbouring Alphas to make it quick. The people were a bit apprehensive, and the soldiers were ruff to keep them in check. I knew it was time to address the workers.

I had never communicated this broadly via mind link before, but this was the time to do it. It might take a toll on my body. I wasn’t sure how effective it would be because I wasn’t an Alpha. I closed my eyes and tried to feel the people around me. It took a bit before I could connect with them mentally. It was very uncomfortable and caused me a slight headache which I was willing to overlook to pass my message. Reaching for the connection, I focused my mental abilities to pass my message through the mental link I had already established.

“You are being held because of a wicked financial crime committed this morning against Diamond Corp,” I linked. It felt like multiple echoes in my mind. I wondered if this was how Luke or Caleb felt when they had to communicate with everyone simultaneously. “Our accounts were hacked and liquid assets wiped out.” people gasped, and I felt an echo in my ears that made me flinch and clasped my hand over my ears. The noise wasn’t coming from outside but from within; nonetheless, it was loud and painful. I could not take it anymore, so I broke the link. The information I had given them should be enough. I felt warm liquid trickling down my nose and ears, and I touched them and looked at my hands. It was blood, and I realised I had put my body through something it shouldn’t have been put through. Not to show weakness, I braced myself and walked to the elevator to head to my office. While in the elevator, away from the curious eyes of the employees and the military, I rested my back against the metal wall and tried to breathe. My head was banging, and my heart was thumping. Why the fuck did I do that? I made a mental note never to try it again. Soon I stepped out of the elevator and walked toward my office. Krystal and a young man my age were waiting for me in the waiting area of my office. I greeted them and asked them to join me. I turned toward Gail to thank her for her quick thinking. She smiled at me and nodded.

I went straight to my desk and offered Krystal and whoever she brought a seat.

Please be frank.” I urged her, and she nodded. “They had help from within. It could be anyone, but the help wasn’t today. They had been gradually stealing from Diamond corp, practising how to perform this operation. All the money they shaved off your accounts initially was practice.
