Chapter 12
Two weeks later~
Sigyn was dressing up when Verna came in her room. She passed smile to Loki. He was also dressing up.
"How are you feeling now Larry?" She asked.
Sigyn was calmly minding her own business. These days it doesn't bother her no matter who is talking to Loki. No matter whatever he is doing with anyone.
Sigyn wore lavender purple gown with shades of white to dark purple and light purple. Loki decided to wear matching darkest purple coat pant with light purple shirt. Today is the success party of new range of clothing with exotic trend.
Loki said with his gentlemanly poise "I am fine thankyou mam"
Verna walked towards him and placed a hand on his chest. "Don't call me mam, Larry. We are same age group and I am not rude like my sister. You can call me by my name"
Loki gave her small smile and nodded. She spoke again. "I want to give you something, Larry"
"Wow! A present?"
"Yes" she handed over him a box of blue tied with ribbons.
He opened it and found a brooch in it. "It's beautiful"
"Now, you are wearing this tonight"
"But I can't take it. It's too expensive and why are you giving me gift at the first place?"
"Look Larry, you are very dedicated employee here. You saved my sister's life. Its nothing for what you did. You deserve much more"
She started pinning brooch on his coat. He peered over to Sigyn, who was looking at her sister. Loki wanted to tell her that he is not liking it either. But he can't speak or do anything. Sigyn didn't even looked at him. She kept watching her sister.

Verna's eyes kept on coming back to find Loki. Well not only hers but all women were almost drooling to see his beauty.
Sigyn is well aware of every women's desire in this room. Sigyn made a short speech. Soon she felt lonely. She went to bar and took a glass of wine. Now she touched her locket and started thinking about her holidays with Larry.
~Memories~
Larry was checking his mobile one day when Sigyn woke up. He was smiling looking at a photo.
She said "good morning, handsome. Was that you?"
When he saw Sigyn he quicky hide his phone. She insisted on watching the pic so he did something in phone and then showed her.
"It's my pic of childhood"
"You were adorable" she told him.
"I am still adorable" he said.
"No, now you are more sexy and handsome" she kissed him hard.
He laid down while she was sitting on his hip. "I have something for you"
"What?"
"Find it yourself" he said.
She tickled his body for checking everywhere. Then she reached his pyjamas and she looked inside it tilting her head. "That's for me" she referred to his manhood.
He laughed and closed his pyjamas. "That is yours but it's nothing special"
She kissed him. "It's treasure" She said that with wide eyes.
He laughed again and he reached to picked up her pillow. She saw a pendant in a chain there. She picked it up and looked at it. "It's beautiful"
He took it from her. "It's much more special than you think. Open it up"
She opened it and there was best photo of both of them that Sigyn once told him she likes most. She smiled and looked at Larry lovingly. "Tie it yourself" She gestured towards her neck.
As he clasp the chain, she looked at him. Tears were brimming in her eyes. She held his jaw and kissed him.
~
A tear fell on her cheek and she sighed. She swallowed another sip of her drink making sure no one saw her tear before wiping it off.
She found Loki dancing with Verna. And soon everyone clapped for their brilliant chemistry. Verna, then, took Loki to one of the balconies and they started talking.
Sigyn saw them happily conversing. She felt sad. She knew it that her sister is what men like when finding a wife. A sweet women with sweet voice and polite attitude.

Sigyn decided to leave the party. She can't bear anymore. No more wine and no more women surrounding her secretary.
She was about to leave when Savannah stopped her. "Congratulations for success of new designs, Sigyn"
"Thankyou" she smiled a little.
"I've heard you were sick. Are you fine now?" She asked.
Sigyn narrowed her eyes. "I didn't tell anyone about my sickness, Savannah. How do you know?"
She seemed shocked for sometimes and then she spoke again. "Actually I briefly talked to your secretary. He told me"
Sigyn glanced at her secretary busy talking to her mother and sister then she looked back at Savannah. "I am fine now. Thanks for asking. Now, excuse me please"
She strode out and called her detective. "Hello Mr. Verson, I think I know who is behind all this"
"Good that you called me Miss. Iwaldi. I was about to call you to tell you that we found something interesting about your case" her privately hired detective said.
"My information first, I think Savannah is the one who tried to kill me and my secretary is also involved in it" Her heart broke to think Larry is a betrayal but she knew it. She had her suspicions.
"Oh yeah? I'll keep that in my mind. For now, we found out the account number of the person who transferred money to your hijackers accounts"
"Who is the person?"
"Admund kins. He is the same person who transferred money in a call boy's account named Jack"
"I don't know any Admund or Jack"
"Miss. Iwaldi, Jack is the call boy who went with you to your forest house this summers. And Admund kins is ex-fiance of your company's model named Angela. Surprisingly, a little threatening helped me to know that Admund gave him money to take you to the boat and drown you there in the river near your house"
