“Eeeh,” Joe the MC stuttered even more, he couldn’t find the right words to ask that question because of how the guests might react.“You don’t have to answer that,” Levi said, as he walked close to where they were.“It’s okay my love. It’s just a question, I’ll answer it,” Bethany replied to Levi.She then turns to Natalie, “I’m the mother of his 5-year-old son who unfortunately died a few months back.”“Wow, such a sad experience. To receive my condolence ma’am.” A guest said as they heard of her Child's death.“Losing a child is such a terrible ordeal, very hurtful. My condolences,” another added.“Thank you, everyone, I receive your condolences and kindness with thanks. Now I’ve established who I am, can we go on with the game? It shouldn’t be a sad occasion.”“Of course, ma’am,” Joe said with a smile of relief, butA the drama wasn’t over yet. “Before you, is a puzzle and to solve each stage of this puzzle, you have to answer one very personal question about Mr. Levi Gomez.

“I told you that woman was putting on an act,” Levi said sounding very furious. He dropped his phone onthe table and sat on the bed while he tried to unbutton his shirt.“What did he say,” Bethany inquired as she rushed to him.“That witch woke up halfway to the hospital, said she was okay and didn’t need to see the doctor”.“What? That woman is so sly. How dare she do that? She ruined the party for everyone, and to think Ieven felt sorry for her?” she said in utter disgust as she still couldn’t believe Natalie will go that far tohurt them.Lisa paced up and down the room, and frequently looked at the clock. She tried to put a call across toNatalie, but her phone lines were unreachable.“Where could she be? Maybe I should have followed them. No, she asked me not to get involved. Whatdo I do? Her numbers aren’t even going through.”As she paced and soliloquized, thinking of her next line of action, the doorbell rang.“Ding Dong…”“That should be Natalie; she rushed to the door to

Such nicely fried eggs, I never knew you had some kitchen magic.” Natalie said as shecommended Lisa’s meal.“I try, thanks.I’ve been meaning to ask, do you know of any good aged homes you could recommend? The thing is, myaunt is getting too old to stay alone, I’m looking at getting her in an aged home at least she’ll havecompany.” Lisa asked.“Well I've not had to put anyone in an aged home, how would I know?” Natalie replied with a question.“Anyone you can call to get some information that might help?” Lisa asked.“No, no one".“Hmm…okay, that’s fine, I'll just check on the internet and maybe ask around.“How come she claims she doesn’t know any aged home but has documents of one in her possession,som

She overheard a nurse say it was almost time for the next shift, and decided to leverage it to advantage. As she stood at a distance, carefully observing when the staff for the next shiftwould begin to arrive, she caught a glimpse of a slender woman who was about her body size. She could infer from her hurry she was trying to meet up with time."I have to get in there, no matter the cost. I should stop her". As she approached her, the lady's phone rang, which made her stop. "Please, I'll get the money don’t let my mom die. I stepped out to work, I'll be back soon." On ending the call, the lady tried to control her tears and took a few deep breaths.

This is her?” she asked. Her face lit up as though she had just found a treasure.“Yes ma’am, that’s her”“You’re sure she is the one, the woman that comes to visit Grandma Bella aside from her granddaughter whohasn’t visited her in a while?”“Yes ma’am, I’m sure, that’s her.”“I know this woman. You have to help me; I really need to speak with Grandma Bella.”“I’m sorry ma’am, that’s all the help I can give; I don’t want to get involved any further, pleaseunderstand.”“It’s okay Jessica, thank you for your help, I appreciate it. Send your mother's bill to me, I’ll make atransfer.”“You don’t have to madam; I didn’t do anything for you and I don’t like to take money I don’t work for ma’am.”“It doesn’t matter, let me help you save your mother’s life.

Calm down Grandma, I’m here to help you. Please listen to me.”“Liar, why should I listen to you, so you can finish what those witches, Sabrina, and her friends started? I won’t listen, get out this minute or I’ll hit you with this” she snapped as she continued holding the flower vase against her.I might be old, but I’m definitely smart. Sabrina sent that witch to kill me the way she killed my daughter, and when she wasn’t able to, she sent you. That’s why you’re here right?”“Yes, Natalie is my friend, I know she is hiding something big but I don’t know what it is, that’s why I’m here to find out. I’m here to help you, but I need you to first help me with the information I need. You have to trust me.”“Liar, get out,” Grandma said.“Look,” Lisa cut in, “my hair isn’t black,” she pulled out the extension, I’m not even a nurse, I had to disguise as one to get in here because they didn’t let me see you unless I get the pass and I can’t get that from Natalie because I don’t want her to

After a thorough search, she still could not find anything.“Calm down Lisa, think,” she said to herself. Think like someone who is trying to hide something.If you wanted to hide something, such that no one would find it, where would you keep it?Wait, I won’t keep it in my room because that’s the first place anyone would search if they were looking. It’s not here, how didn’t I figure this out earlier? I would keep it in a place where no one would even think.But this house isn’t big, it can’t be in my room, it’s not in hers as well. Where could it be Lisa, think.“Wait, who said it can’t be in my room? Bingo! That’s where it is. A mix of anxiety and excitement filled the atmosphere. For some reason, she felt like she was close to her goal. Looking keenly at the finest details, she realized the handle attached to a corner of the bed stand wasn’t just a fancy decoration, for some reason she had not seen it before.She approached it, and dragged it outwardly as though she was trying to

The ray of light they saw just went dim and they didn’t even realize It. The thought that there was no hope at all, got them thinking.”“That’s the end of the road ma’am; this is the best I can do for you. I don’t want to get involved any further, I hope you understand.” Jessica said.“I do, let’s go now.” They managed to leave the same way they came in without any suspicions. Lisa was greatly discouraged but still determined to unravel the mystery. “Ma’am Lisa,” Jessica called to her as they walked in opposite directions. “Thank you for my mum; I really appreciate your help.”“I’m glad I could help,” Lisa responded with a forced smile.“What do I do, I’m very tired of all the back and forth.Focus Lisa, don’t be a crybaby, you come too far. You cannot give up now,” she encouraged herself.As she walked on that lonely path, a van pulled behind her, and grabbed her into the van, placing a handkerchief over her mouth.“Help,” she screamed and struggled as her voice faded and strength

I didn’t just kill her,” Natalie said, “I stabbed her six times with a very sharp fork and years down the line I don’t regret it at all.I remember the first time her husband forced himself on me, there was no one to help me and so he had his way with me. Guess what my mother said when I reported to her,” she scuffed.She asked me not to say a word of it to anyone or else she’ll throw me out of her house.I was just thirteen Lisa, just thirteen. It happened again and again and every single time she forbade me from speaking a word to anyone. Sometimes she’ll hit me and call me names.He will rip my clothes apart, and rape me whenever he likes. He’d hit me and abuse me, even when she was at home, but she never stood up for me, not even once.just because of a man, what kind of a mother is that?My grades began to drop, and the best student in class gradually dropped to worse. I wasn’t doing well in school, my classmates would laugh at me because I was always lost in thoughts, and depress
