Chapter 5
The CEO of Vernon''s corporation, Harry Vernon, hadmanded his personal assistant to work even harder on finding the woman he had a night
stand with five years ago. He needs to find out the truth as soon as he can so he know how to punish Debby.
The sex he had with the strange woman five years ago happened because he drank himself to stupor. A few hours before that night, he and his
pregnant girlfriend arrived in his house after going for a party. He didn''t expect for her to suddenly slump and die. All efforts to revive her was futile so
he stormed to his club that night and wasted himself to alcohol. Up until today, he hasn''t healed.
He didn''t want to believe that the woman he had sex with then was Debby.
While in his office, a call came through to his phone and seeing that the caller ID was Horace, he answered it and asked, "any positive news about
the woman?”Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
"Yes, sir," Horace responded.
Harry sat upright and curiously asked, "I''m all ears."
"We have a lead pointing us to one miss Edna, she''s most likely the one but we are not hundred percent sure, yet sir,” Horace said.
"Be here soon, we are heading over to her house immediately," hemanded.
"Got it, sir." Horace said.
About thirty minutester, about eight cars pulled over before a big mansion. This was where Edna and Alice, her mother are living
Seven of the eight cars were hilux cars containing Harry''s bodyguards while the eighth car was Harry’s Mercedes Maybach.
The guards jumped down quickly from their hilux cars and ran speedily to open the door for Harry. Once Harry stepped down, he said to Horace,
‘inform whoever is inside to step out.”
"Got it boss," Horace immediately walked inside the mansion with two guards and soon came out with Alice and Edna
When the twa women both saw Horace, they were shocked. This is the man people call the ‘Demon Of DarkHood.’ Both Edna and her mother had
heard a lot of how ruthless and merciless he was. Not many people had the opportunity to see him.
They wondered what the CEO of the biggestpany in the country was doing before their mansion.
Alice smiled and bowed to Harry, "Mr. Harry, to whom do we owe this honor?” Although she was scared on the inside,she tried to sound calm on the
outside.
Harry''s face remained very aloof and then he said to Edna, "are you Edna by name?”
Edna immediately answered, "yes. sir.”
"No one dares to lie to me in the entire Darkwood. Those who tried it in the past I''ll ask you a question and you will speak the truth, understood?" His
voice was harsh and hard.
"Sure, sir...sure,” Edna stuttered. She was very terrified. She didn''t suffer t know what the question would be. Edna had fallen wlessly to Harry''s
super and extraordinary handsomeness. His cuteness was so overwhelming.
"Five years ago, I was drunk and stormed into a room at my club. Awoman came in that night and demanded of me to have sex with her and without
thinking twice, I did. Are you the woman?" He asked,his hard gaze making clear holes on her face.
The entire atmosphere became as quiet as graveyard. Infact, the heavy heartbeat of Edna could be heard
Edna suddenly bursted into tears, everyone was shocked at her sudden outburst. Edna sobbed even more while Harry just watched her indifferently.
“Waiting for my answers ?" Harry asked as if he wasn''t bothered by her tears.
"I...was the one. I was also drunk that night." Edna cried even more, her head lowered as if ashamed.
"What''s the name of the club?” He questioned
"Club A, room 8," she answered with precision and cried even more.
Alice acted along and hugged her, "don''t be sad baby, it''s been such a long time.”
‘It was indeed this woman.’ Harry thought and felt bad for Edna. He didn''t intend to have sex with any woman that day but what could he do when he
was drunk?
"Did you get pregnant?" Harry asked. Afterall , he released of her so it was okay to ask such question.
Edna
became more dignified and said," yes..." She sobbed. "I got pregnant then." Harry''s face even serious, "and what happened? What happened to the
pregnancy?”
"I had miscarriage," Edna eventually raised her face up to look at him, tears still streaming down her eyes. She thought that speaking to him while
locking directly at his face will make him more convinced that she wasn''t t lying.
"I''llpensate you," he said,observing the pathetic woman before him keenly, “how much did you want? Just state the price.”
"I don''t want money, I''m not a materialistic woman,” Edna knew better not to give him such impression about her. She has better thing to request for.
"What did you want then?" Harry asked
"Please let me be around you often, afterall, you don''t have a girlfriend," she shyly lowered her head. She didn''t want to ask directly to be his girlfriend
so as not to look like other desperate women who can’ t wait to throw themselves at him
"Im very dangerous, are you sure
you can stand ime?" He sounded like

"All these years, I have been living in pain and sorrow. Not only did I lost my virginity that night, I also lost my baby, it''s all because of...you?"” Edna
cried and raised her face up again. She was trying to ‘guilt-trip'' him so she can grant her request.
Being his girlfriend was worth more than any money he would offer. Also, her reputation would greatly and the secondpany of Debby’s father that
they were managing that was almost going bankrupt will definitely get it''s shape back with the help of Harry Vernon.
"Your daughter ising with me," Harry suddenly said to Alice. Eventhough he would bring Alice closer to himself, he didn''t n on getting closer to
her at all . He was just trying to make up for taking advantage of her many years ago.
Alice pretended to be sad and said to Edna," I will miss you but I''ll always support whatever decision you make as long as it makes you happy."
"Thank you mama,” Edna hugged her mum and then left with Harry.

Whereas, Debby had just helped her son to finish taking his drug. “You need to rest, dear."
The little boy nod’ andid on the bed, his head resting on his motherps.
"Mom, are you really sure that the tall man didn''t beat you?" Fred asked. He was there when the guards came to pick up his mum.
Debby smiled, how can an adult beat another adult? She thought and said to her son, "no. Just that we need to avoid that man as much as we can.”
"How can you avoid him when he’s the CEO of yourpany?" Fred was curious
"He didn''t even know I work in hispany since thepany has more than five hundred staffs. It''s impossible for him to identify all of his staffs,”
she said
"Oh okay! But why did I look like him?” Fred asked
Debby knew Fred loved to ask a lot of questions, it''s not like she mind answering, it''s just that he had just taken drug and he need more rest now.
"Sweetheart, you need to sleep so the drug you have just taken can work," Debby said.
“Okay, but answer this question and I''ll go to sleep,” the little boy assured.
Debby sighed, "okay, I think it''s just a coincidence that you look like him, it means nothing.”
Fred however didn''t believe his mum, he has been with his mum for a long time so if she''s not telling the truth, he can see through her.
