Chapter 57
(Who is the cheat?)
~Red Fox Clan~
“Macho, I think you need to hear Brittany out first before passing your Judgment. Finding her bracelet there might just be a coincidence, what if someone else had dropped it there.” Scorpion spoke out angrily at Macho who paid no attention to him. He picked up a cigarette and lit it, dragging it in and puffing out a ball of smoke. They are actually in Macho’s suite; after he smacked her making her pass out, he became filled with rage and took the clan members some time to calm him down. They picked Brittany up and took her to the clan clinic, leaving Scorpion alone with him.
“Do you really think she is the mole, do you think she will want the bad of this clan. I thought you f**king love that girl Macho, I’m talking to you” Scorpion yelled
“Shut the f**k up, or I blow your brains. I’m still you boss, so get that into your f**king head. I don’t believe in love, and even if I like her, the law still remains, anyone who betrays the clan is as well as dead.” Macho snapped in anger, he took in another drag of the smoke, repeating the same process
“You need to calm down Macho; Brittany isn’t the mole here, you are just too blind to see it. Just look at this; the bracelet was found on Nora’s bed, but how sure are you that Brittany was in that ward”
“And tell me why you are defending her, huhn, or are you also working with her. Do you have anything going on with her…huhnn…answer me Scorpion?”
“Brittany was my trainee; I know how diligent she is. She isn’t a cheat, she isn’t a betrayal, only if you try stepping on her toes will she strike. I trust her more than my other students” Scorpion defended staring into Macho’s eyes
“Huhn” Macho scoffs, walking round the room with the cigarette in his hand
“Just allow her to defend herself first, then you can pass your aggressions later on. I’m out of here” Scorpion stated and left. Macho dropped the cigarette, sticking his hands into his hair as he gave a loud sigh
He doesn’t know what to believe, will Brittany really betray the clan, he is just so confuse right now.

“Hey…Brittany…wake up” Jane whispered, tapping Brittany. She fluttered her eyes after a while and looked at her
“Where…where am i?” She gruff. Jane rolled her eyes
“The clinic….i need to be fast with this. I had to beg the doctor in order to see you”
‘What’s wrong, I was in Macho’s suite earlier and now….”
“Yea, you passed out. Don’t know what happened though” Jane replied. Brittany frowns and nodded
“I think I remember now, he slapped me, but that shouldn’t have made me pass out. This is not the first time Macho will be slapping me”
“Let’s say you were not expecting it. Well, enough of that for now, my time here is limited. I think Clara is having greater plans but we are smarter” she smirked
“Perhaps she reported me?” Brittany chipped in
“Not just that; she took your bracelet as a proof. It was found on Nora’s bed, and she is gonna use it against you. Look at that nurse over there”
Brittany used the side of her eyes and caught the sight of a nurse staring at them from the far end. She pretended to look at something else beside her when she caught Brittany’s sight coming towards her direction
“Is she working for Clara?”
“I think so, she had been monitoring you since you were brought here and right now she is still watching us. I believe Clara might have paid her to do some things, and she might even have others who will support her as a false witness against you. She might be the one to have given Clara the cleaners’ uniform and a free entrance that night.” Jane explained. Brittany nodded
“She also might not be the only one, Clara thinks she is smart”
“Yea, that’s why she also implanted a recorder under your bed, she knew we had plans but don’t know what our plans are” Jane smirked, holding out something
“What!!!” Brittany gasp
“How did you find out about it?”
“Trust me when I say I used to be the most intelligent girl back then in high school. I’m super smart Brittany, in thinking and actions” Jane smiled, praising herself
“Seriously, but why did she…gosh” Brittany sighed, rubbing her temple
“That girl means you Brit, she wants to know our plan through this, but too bad, I have disconnected it already before waking you up, and trust me, there isn’t any more bug here. I pray Macho gives you the chance to defend yourself from her claims, because there surely will be false witnesses of you killing Nora. She will be shocked when she sees our evidences”
“Macho won’t do me bad, even if he doesn’t love me, he still won’t do the wrong thing” Brittany stated
“Seriously, I thought that guy loves you”
“Tsk. Those are just façade, he only wants a child with me, and I’m beginning feel like I know why he wants me to bear his child; though I’m not sure of my thoughts”
“Whatever, just be prepared. Erm…what about Brad, I haven’t seen him lately”
“Oh…he was sent on a secret mission I think”
“Hmm, I’m sure you are gonna miss him” Jane grinned
“Yea…he is my friend…so..why won’t I miss him” Brittany said, dragging her words as she stared funnily at Jane who laughed out
“No that’s not what I meant, you know…anyway forget it. Bye for now, meet you at the court room, Miss Brad” She whispered, winking at her before leaving the ward.
Brittany arched her brows.
“What does she mean by Miss Brad, does she know about my relationship with Brad” She thought inwardly.

Clara’s Suite
“So what are your next plans, we have succeeded in making them believe that Brittany was in the clinic that night” Celine muttered, cleaning her body with the towel. She just finished taking her bath
“False witnessing; I paid that foolish nurse to get me more people as a witness. They will claim that she threatened them not to speak or lose their lives. Four witnesses is enough, she will have nothing to proof, because it was confirmed that she wasn’t in her room that night, perhaps she sneaked out to have fun in the club down the street. I overheard her speaking about it with her friend the other day and got into her suite that night, so it confirms my curiosity when I didn’t see her” Clara smiled, as Celine chuckled
“That means we are leading” She stated. Just immediately, a knock came on the door.
“Come in” They ordered the person as a nurse came in, wearing casual wear. She held a frown on her face as she walked in
“How did it go Angel” Clara asked
“Oh…just two nurses agreed to work with me, but I managed to convince one cleaner, he will work with us” She smiled
“And the recorder”
“Opss…it was disconnected, I don’t know how they managed to find out, but I saw that girl…erm…what’s her name again”
“Jane?” Celine chipped in
“Oh yes, Jane…she came to see her and they talked for a while before leaving. I think she disconnected the device” Angel explained with frown
“That b!tch!!! I will crush her with my hands once I catch her” Clara snarled. Angel shrug
“I think they are working together”
“They are friends, close friends” Celine muttered
“Hope they did not notice you or any other person” Clara asked
“No, I made sure I kept my distance when watching them, too bad I couldn’t hear what they were saying since the device had been disconnected”
“Brittany won’t be expecting what we have for her; she will regret ever getting into my way” She smirked, eyeing Celine lustfully as she pulled of the towel, trying to cream her body
“Hey you, come here…let me have a taste” She winked at Celine who smirked in return, pulling off the towel totally.
“Do you think we should do this with Angel watching us” Celine asked
“I don’t mind joining you both, I’m feeling h0rny watching your sexy body right now” Angel mo@n, licking her lips as she started pulling off her cloths
“Wow, never knew you were a lesbo too…good combination” Clara smiled; taking Celine’s b00bs into her mouth as Angel caress the other.
“Oh my gawd…..” Celine mo@n as Clara fingered her h0le.

~A Mall~
Flora walked into the mall laughing heartedly with Karl while holding hands. She has finally accepted him though he has not proposed, but they had make out a lot, and his approach to her made her know that he loves her and will surely propose soon. But she will have to be happy just like he wants and enjoy his lovely company till he hits the nuts.
“You still haven’t told me why you are here, come on you should be at work with your boss” She rolled her eyes referring to Axel as his boss. Well, definitely she is right, but one won’t see them both as boss and employee, they acts like friends which they are.
“I’m on a free day today, we don’t have schedules so I’m free” He smiled, winking at her. She blushed and tried to turn away so that he won’t see her cheeks
“Was that red paste on your cheek?” He teased; she chuckled and taps his shoulder
“Stop that….come on lets go shop”
“I will need to go to the men cloth section then, see ya when you are done, because I know you will spend more than two hours” He stated, while she pouted
“That’s not fair, why will you say that?” She whined. He chuckled pinching her cheek softly
“Because that’s what all women do, spend time in shopping. The truth is bitter” He pecked her cheek and left. She smiled broadly and proceeded to get her things.
Few minutes after picking the necessary clothes she needed, she proceeded to the shoe section and sighted a shoe which attracted her. She went forward to grab it but someone beat her to it, dragging it out of her grip
“That’s mine, idiot” She knows of one person who calls her that; Sophia. She scoffs at her and tried dragging it off, but Sophia won’t back down
“Why the hell did you take it” Flora yelled
“Oh…oh…don’t bite me miss tiger, I ain’t your prey okay” Sophia scoffs. Flora rolled her eyes
“Give me back my shoe…I took it first, stop being a criminal for once, taking what belongs to others” She spat. This annoyed Sophia but she tried to keep it cool so that Flora won’t think she succeeded in making her angry. She faked a smile
“Oh…really…I don’t mind being a thief, it’s better than being a cheat” She snarled, happy at Flora’s sad look
“Tell me who is the cheat, you or me” Flora flared
“You of course, or who else will cheat on her boyfriend and end up having s*x with his brother too” Sophia smirked. Flora was shocked beyond words, she couldn’t believe her ears.
“Cat caught your tongue?” Sophia grinned
“What…..what do you mean?”
“You know what I mean, mind you; I believe you couldn’t control your urge. Just a piece of advice, always minds what you eat and drink in a party, okay” She pinched her cheek
“You b!tch….f**k you, damn you Sophia” Flora yelled with tears already tickling down her eyes. Sophia laughed
“And one more thing, if you try to do anything stupid, just know that I have the video, so don’t try rubbish with me dear, or you know what I can do.” She threatened
“Take this…poor people like you fight over things that don’t worth lot” She threw the shoes at her, rolling her eyes as she turned to leave. The scene of that day started replaying itself in Flora’s head, starting from the party till when she got the message on her phone, how she started feeling h0rny which is unusual, and how she ended up with Aiden. She has been framed all along. She remembered Sophia smirking at her at the party, now it’s clear.
“Sophia drugged my drink” She muttered with tears already getting sticky on her cheeks.
“She sets us up and got the video….no…no” She mumbled sinking on her knees
Karl who had been looking for her walked towards where she knelt and smiled, but it became a frown when he saw her expression.
“Flora…..what’s wrong” He asked her but she ignored him, sniffing in. She cleaned her tears and stood up.
“Let’s get out of here” She muttered, putting on her sunshade
“What’s wrong with her” Karl thoughts within
Chapter 58 (False Witnesses) Mia’s POV “I think that’s all for today, let’s go have our rest and prepare for the afternoon rehearsal” One of the spectator stated. We just finished out morning exercise, and it’s felt kinda weird being just four on the field. We started as twelve, eight are gone, and in few days now the winner will be chosen. After our last performance, I don’t think I will make it, Ariel got all the skills which none of us possess, if she wins, it won’t be a surprise. Sometimes I wonder if it is not the same rehearsal we all do and practice we take part in, but she seem to be good in all than us. I went forward to pick my water bottle and headed for my lounge. My eyes met with Jack but he looked away with a sad look, it landed on Ariel as she walks closer. She smiled briefly at me, but I don’t know if I should return the smile or not. I feel bad inside and smiling back might just be a
Chapter 59(Riot In Hell)“Play the video” She muttered. As Clara heard that, her heart dropped to the ground. The phone was connected to a projector as it was played for all to see. The video showed the figure of Clara walking towards Nora’s bed in the ward. Silent murmurs could be heard among the members as Clara faced down unable to look at the annoying eyes that were peering at her.The video finished playing showing how she injected Nora with the syringe before leaving the ward. Everywhere was silent for a while, not until they heard Clara sobbing“That video is fake…she..she framed me, perhaps someone make a duplicate of my face or, perhaps a makeup artist…..” A hard slap landed on her face, cutting her words short. It was Macho; he was already standing in front of her ready to pounce on her. She was shocked beyond words as the threatening tears in her eyes fall off freely
Chapter 60(Sophia’s Mum~)Axel’s loungeAxel went back to his room after having a little exercise that morning; he wasn’t expecting anyone but to his surprise he met his twin on the couch, sipping from a glass of wine. He frowns slightly, walking in fully. Aiden noticed his presence when he stepped in“Welcome brother” he muttered but Axel didn’t return the greeting. He simply rolled his eyes and went into the shower for a brief bath. He freshens up and changed into new wears before joining Aiden, who wasn’t bothered about his earlier reaction. He knew Axel well and his snobbish attitude isn’t something new to him.“What are you doing here” Axel asked coldly“Huhf, can’t I visit my Lil brother any longer” Aiden scoffs, going to pick up a pack of popcorn as he stuffs it into his mouth. Axel was furious, not because
Chapter 61(Being On the Run)“That’s what everyone thinks, but Roxanne isn’t dead, she is still alive, serving her life sentence in jail….” Becky muttered as Flora’s mouth drop down.“So you mean, she framed her death or what?” Flora asked“She didn’t frame any death, her husband did. He is ashamed of calling her his wife and doesn’t want his daughter to know that type of mother she has. He doesn’t want his daughter to be influenced by her mother’s character; though she is serving a life sentence which Noah agreed to. He has the money to bail her if he wanted, but he doesn’t want to see her on the face of the earth again, she has done a lot to him that made him regret calling her a wife”“That’s weird, I mean….that’s the weirdest story I have ever heard. Husband framing wife’s death just becaus
Chapter 62(Final Audition)~Dung Town~Elsa’s POV“Elsa…we got a delivery to make” The head chef muttered, as I silently thanked my stars. I feel tired from answering these annoying customers and leaving here for a while will ease my brain. The customers that came in today are just so annoying.“Ok Ma’am….already on it.” I yelled. I picked up the packaged food and went towards the garage to pick a delivery bike. I ignited it to life and rode off towards the direction of the address with me. It took me few minutes to arrive the location as I went into the quiet compound. It look neat and well kept compared to other houses here in the slum, though it doesn’t look like it hold much luxury, but it’s still a cool place to stay. I climbed the few steps and knocked on the door, patiently waiting for the house owner to open.
Chapter 63(New Roommate)“The winner is M…Huhmn…Excuse me” Axel cleared his throatThe winner is Ariel…Skywalker!!!” He shouted, as the crowd cheered with glee. Lots of balloons were thrown into the air, including some fireworks. The judges stood to their feet, clapping their hands with smile on their faces.“We love you Ariel….”“You have a wonderful voice…congratulations….yee!!!!” The crowd cheered as the securities find it hard to control them. Ariel couldn’t move from the spot she stood. She felt dump folded looking at them all as they perform wonders all in the name of celebrating her. She knew she is good, but winning such a great competition was not what she will even think of wishing for, because she knew she might not make it pass the third audition; but here she is, getting the crown. She couldn’t see clearly
Chapter 64(Confusing His Looks)Celine’s POV“Hi….ermm…you must be Celine…well I’m Cassandra, a new member of the clan and your new roommate” The newbie smile, stretching out her hand for a handshake. I scoff, ignoring her completely. Right now, I’m really high and need a cool bath to calm my nerves; if she tries rubbish with me then she will be shock to see my other side.“Hey…you didn’t take my handshake, fine, but at least tell me your name, I’m trying to be friendly here” She muttered. I didn’t say a word; I pulled off my clothes heading for the bathroom when I heard her mumbled a word which turned on the demon in me“Huhh…b!tch” She scoffs. Before she could take a step forward, I pounced on her pushing her to the wall, as she slams her back on it. I was boiling with rage, trying to calm my anger which isn’t working. She is a newbie, I shouldn’t be treating her this way, but I’m still mad at the fact that I will be having someone to replace Clara. And this b!tchy mouth here isn’t
Chapter 65(Oh My Gawd)Axel’s POV“Good morning Mr. Shaw, how are you” Mrs. Brown, a close friend to my mum and also a family friend asked“I’m fine ma, and you?” I replied with a smile“Oh trust me… I’m better than I used to be” She stated with a chuckle while I shake hands with her husband, Mr. Brown who is also one of the shareholders in the Hybrid Company.“What about Axel….” Mrs. Brown asked, as I furrowed my brow“I’m A-xel..” I noted, she gasp“Oh my….you both can just try to create a mark on your body so that I can recognize you. Damn…the likeness is too much…so if you are Axel..then I can’t find Aiden around” She laughed, as we both laugh along with her“Perhaps you are getting too old to r
CHAPTER 93 (BLACK OUT)Police Headquarters~~ “Start talking” Noah muttered as he sat opposite Axel. He just arrived as he decided to know what move the police are taking“Erm..i’m sorry Mr. Jenkins” Axel stated He scoffed“You are sorry…you left for good three weeks, without allowing anyone reach you and all you can say is sorry..what has gotten over you this kid” He snapped. Axel’s head was bowed as he continue to plead“Fine…now tell me, how was she kidnapped and what are they doing about it.” He asked referring to the police“We had an argument, and erm…she left in tears without allowing anyone to go with her. We never knew she had left until her message came into my phone seeking for help in an unknown location”“We?”“Yes..I was with Aiden”“Fine go on…”“We watched the footage of how she left my house into the woods; the live cameras captured the faces of those men who kidnapped her. They were four and a lady. Their records are being worked on; they will be tracked before the
Chapter 89(Where is mum?)Africa~~Ariel’s POVI was so excited to breath in the fresh air, as we came down from the plane. Axel had fulfilled his promised of bringing me here to see mum, and I can’t tell how happy I am. It’s been months since I left home; coming back here is more like a relief. They are my people, the culture is perfect, different for the western culture, but I still love it even if it seems attic.We lodge in a hotel to get enough rest before proceeding to the slum where mum resides, or let’s say my former home. Axel has been himself this few days, none of us talked more on what happened the other day, but I think I’m cool not speaking about it, it’s better that way.“What route should I take” Axel muttered from the wheels. We had rented a car for the main time, before leaving.
Chapter 88(Confused Feelings)Aiden’s POV“Gosh..I messed up big time..I shouldn’t have done it, but my urge was irresistible” I cursed softy, remembering last night scene. I almost had my way with her; if grannie Naomi’s voice hadn’t ring out behind the door, then it would have been a different case. She had actually been looking for Josephine and decided to come tell me about her getting missing suddenly, not knowing she was in with him. We flipped of each other, as Josephine made for the door.She managed to convince Grannie that she was only checking on me, being that I was depressed and getting myself drown in drinks I was still a bit tipsy though, but was conscious of what was happening around me. Grannie Naomi scolds me for some time, warning me not to go near hot liquors again. And that was all I could remember before drifting into a long sleep. I
Chapter 87(I want you)Sophia’s POV“I can’t believe dad will decide to do this to me..it’s wrong” I scoff, bringing out a pack of cigarette from my drawer. Yea, I smoke, but it’s still a secret to everyone, because I know how to keep it low. I lighted a stick taking a hard drag as my phone rings“Hello” I muttered with a gruff voice as the caller’s voice came up“Hello ma’am”“Any news on where they are?” I asked, puffing out balls of smoke“Not yet ma’am…but we traced them to Texas..it’s won’t be long before we get hold of her”“That’s a bit of good news, but I want more…I’m giving you two weeks to get me her head…and if you fail, consider your head rolli
Chapter 86(Heart Breaks)“Peggy” she whispered, gawking at her“It’s me Gina…come on let us in” Miss Peggy stated, with a wide smile, as Gina engage her in a tight hug“Oh My gawd…is this a dream..I mean..I had thought all hope is lost since the day you left with Ariel, not until I saw the videos…oh gosh…you are welcome..come in…Hi” She greeted Scarlet with a soft smile while scarlet only nodded, smiling briefly.“You can also come in Kabria..” Gina beckoned as Kabria shrug“I don’t wanna pry into your discussion, I will just wait outside” she stated and left. Gina sighed“So what can I offer you both…gosh..I’m sorry..there isn’t any drink at home for now…perhaps water will do first while I go down the street to get you some drinks&rdqu
Chapter 85(Punishment)AFRICA.“Hmm…it’s so good to be home..just take a look at how fresh the air smells” Miss Peggy breathed in as she and Scarlet made their way to Ariel’s former house.“Yuck…this place stinks…” Scarlet grimace, as she frowns“It’s a slum dummy, you won’t expect everywhere to be pleasant..will you?”“I still prefer my country’s slum…this place is more like a dump” Scarlet stated“I think you have forgotten that this is still my country, and I won’t take that insult from you Scarlet.There are other places that are safe and nice..don’t judge a book by its cover “ Miss Peggy muttered sternly. Scarlet rolled her eyes.“Are we there already” Scarlet asked with a stressed
Chapter 84(Curiosity)Cottage~~ Ariel’s POVI woke up yawing loudly as I stretch my bones; it made cracking sounds as I pull the blanket off my body. I noticed feeble sun rays invading the room through the window. Gosh…It’s morning already….nope it’s not morning..it’s already noon, I shriek jumping out of bed after glancing at the wall clock.“Did I really sleep for that long? And where is Axel?” I asked no one in particular.“You won’t be expecting him to be beside you when you wake up duh…” My subconscious replied as I rolled my eyes. My stomach made annoying noises which means that it needed to be fed. I walk sluggishly to the bathroom; well Axel actually showed it to me yesterday. I quickly freshen up; pulled out a cloth from my box and wore it.I made my way out, looking fresh after a warm bath as I head down the short steps that lead to the living room. Axel is actually not in his room, and I’m beginning to wonder if he hasn’t left me alone here, not until a sweet smell waft t
Chapter 83(See You In Court)Texas City~~Axel’s POV.I turned off the ignition, just after parking in front of a cottage. The journey was smooth being that Ariel decided to fall asleep; she has been crying silently before falling asleep. Right now, we are miles away from Cape Town; in the outskirt of Texas City, where the sea, that links to another country is.I own the little cottage that stood few meters away from the sea, in the middle of the shore. This place used to be my secret hide out whenever I wanna be away from everyone. I come here alone, and not even a soul knows that I own here, well, except for the care taker whom I put in charge of cleaning the place. I had called him about my coming while we were still on highway.Ariel mumbled inaudible words in her sleep as I turn t
Chapter 82(No Choice)Ariel’s POV.I just tried mum’s number again but it was still giving the same response; not reachable. I don’t know how long I will have to wait for all this to be settled, because I’m really missing mum right now. I’m just waiting for the time I will be able to travel on my own; I won’t hesitate to grab the opportunity. Africa will be the first place in my mind.I sigh for the umpteen time, dropping my phone on the side stool as I made to have a quick nap. But my rest was cut short when Axel barge into the room, looking a bit enrage. Well, his facial expression showed that he is either angry, or perhaps had cried to have make his face look red.“Get your bags, we are leaving” he muttered coldly, going to pick up some of his clothes in the wardrobe as he stuff it into his box. I couldn’t process what he meant at first“W-What…but why…we just got here…” I shuttered. He heaves a sigh“Yes…but we are leaving now..”“Will you please state your reasons” I asked. I c
