"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.
