83. IT’S DIFFICULT TO LIE
Last Updated:
2022-11-25 08:10:00Was Sophia in any way shocked by what Debby said? Yes, she was more than shocked. Owing to what followed after the night out at the Wreakin’, she could never have imagined that Debby would settle for such a low-class and faceless thief like Leo.
“I am not the one keeping secrets after all!” she thought.
She knew she heard the name Leo but decided to be careful still and not jump to conclusions. She wanted to be sure of what she heard so she asked again, “Girl, what was Leo doing in your house before he got shot? And why are you crying that he got shot?”
Debby’s eyes got widely opened. She suddenly realized what she just did. In her moment of pain, she has let out a top secret that could get Sebastian arrested and charged to court for various crimes that he was wanted for.
Leo had told her not to trust anyone except Officer Steve. That might not include Sophia, or c

I was suspecting that something was wrong when I spoke at the early hour of the day at my house. But now I know for sure that she is hiding something.“Why is she hiding details about Sebastian?” I questioned myself over and over again.“I think your friend is trying to hide something,” Officer Steve added when he noticed the look on my face.“Yeah I know she is hiding something but I could not understand what she is hiding,” I thought to myself. “But whatever it is, it must be very dear to her because she has never hidden anything from me,” I thought further.Debby was already waiting for me in the car. As I and Officer Steve stood talking, our eyes were fixed on her, trying all I could to always smile whenever she looks in my direction so she did not suspect anything.“What do you think she could be hiding?” I asked

Officer Steve frowned. “What the fuck!” he yelled so loud on the inside.He was disappointed. That’s not new, he already knew that. What he wanted to hear is something more than that, something that was lacking in Debby’s statement.“Wait! I thought you… you definitely know that I already know that. I need something I could use to crack this case. So I thought you…”“And that’s what I’m telling you,” Sophia snapped sharply.Officer Steve cut his statement short and listen to her again. She looked at Debby who is still on phone talking and laughing gleefully. She had definitely put the horrible night behind her.“Oh my God! Am I really going to do this?” Sophia blurted out in frustration. She struggled with herself to speak but the feeling of betraying a friend got her convicted so she began havi

“What the fuck!” I yelled so loud in my mind as Jakes called out the name of the one man I don’t want anyone to know about.“How did he know it was Bale that attacked me last night? I’m beginning to lose trust in Sophia and he just spilled that right into her ears? Damn!”I could see the shock on Sophia’s face upon hearing the name of the shooter.“Wait!” she said and moved away from where she was standing by the door to come over to us.“Jakes! Did you just say that it was Bale who did the shooting last night?”“Yes. That mother fucker must pay for what he did to our house, and the pain she caused my sister.”I don’t even know how to stop the conversation so he doesn’t get to say more than that. I saw Sophia nodding her head. I wonder what she was going to do with that

Ever since I resumed work at the Hallow Hospital and met this guy called Brian, I always know him for being straightforward.But suddenly he has become someone who loves to keep me in suspense. That was what led to the error of kissing him, a kiss I know will have more things ahead to cause more havoc than good.I don’t always like it when people make me figure out their thoughts. And that is exactly what Brian loves doing. He was keeping me waiting for what he had to say endlessly. At one point, I started wondering if it is about the kiss. Maybe he wants to ask me out but doesn’t know how to say it.“I heard what happened to you last night in your apartment. I am so sorry,” he apologized sweetly, his voice a little shaky.I could not help but laugh silently. He sounded as if he was responsible for what happened. But at least my fears got allayed the moment he said that. We ha

I was feeling uncomfortable already seeing Joan pacing around the bunk room as she is doing right now. Of course, the bunk room is for every worker but she has never been here before, at least since I came. And if you know her as I do, you would be more worried for me than I am right now. She is always full of surprises. Like a chameleon, you can hardly predict what she has in store for you.“What is she doing in my space?” I asked, not that I own the room all to myself, but I normally feel in charge whenever I’m here.“Going somewhere?” she asked, her eyes fixed on the cloth I am holding.“Yes!”“Hmm!” she remained silent for a while.I wish I could just walk out and get going but I was afraid she would tell on me. And my guess was right because she said, “You just got to work after spending almost half of your wo

“Don’t you see I was working on something before you walked in?” Mr. Edwards concluded.Wait a minute, did this old man just call me a dumb ass? What a fuck!He looked unmoved, yet to even look up at me, his hand holding a pen so tight like someone was coming to snatch it from him.The sound of his voice was terrifying. He sounded like someone that is highly offended and looking for the perfect time to explode.“I’m sorry Mr. Edwards!” I apologized.“You should be sorry because what you just did can get you fired.”He looked up at me for the first time and lifts one of the files he was working on and pointed it at me.“Do you see this paper that looks ordinary, it can buy you, your brother, and all that your parents left behind for you.”He returned the paper

“I am going to end up like my stupid father?” I repeated what he said to myself in my head. But is my father stupid?Of course not. My father was a genius. He was such a genius decades after his death, people are looking for the paper he wrote. Come what may, I am going to get my hands on that paper so I could prove to that old man that he was wrong about my dad.Stupid old man!“How can he say I will end up like my dad? Whatever that means, I won’t end up like my dad,” I muttered to myself.What he said seemed to mean more than what I heard. But I was so engrossed with getting to the police station on time before they found out what I was hiding on their own. That could make them not trust me.Does Mr. Edwards even have a faint idea of what happened already? Damn!Whoever gave him the information might have some evid

I could hear murmuring all around the room as I walked out of Steve’s office earlier but I paid no attention to any. They had the right to murmur. I have been a frequent visitor to the station lately.I know Sophia was running after me. I could hear her footsteps thumping lightly on the floor as she runs after me. But I kept moving. Tears wear already forming around my eyes and any little word from my mouth make them come pouring out.I wanted to avoid that, especially so I keep moving as fast as my legs could carry me. The moment I got out I wasted no time stopping a taxi.“Debby please wait!” came her voice calling out to me but she was too late. I was already seated in the taxi.The taxi driver was a young, handsome man of Africa American descent, well-built. He is the type that likes flirting with their customers but I don’t have much time. He kept talking and teasing me.

When my phone started ringing, I had the least intuition that it was going to be another twist of events.Now my brother is taken. Since I came to know about this paper, it has been nothing but heartache.“They have my brother,” I announced to Sebastian and Walter after getting off the phone.“Shit!” he cussed.We drive silently for a while, no one was talking. My mind was on freeing my brother and nothing else. They had asked for the Rubik’s cube and the necklace in exchange for him. I have nothing to lose if I hand them over to them. They said they are calling in the next two hours to tell me where to meet them and I must come alone and tell no one. That’s exactly what I am going to do, not even Sebastian would stop me from this.“Don’t worry. I will get your brother back to you with no harm done to him,” Sebastian had assur

Mr. Edwards noticed the look on Lucas’ face. “What is it?” Mr. Edwards asked curiously.“The Rubik’s cube is gone! Yet my office did not look like it was mobbed when I got in this morning! So how did he gain entrance in?”“He played you by using Ace as a distraction to get in,” Jack said.With the Rubik’s cube in hand of Sebastian, Lucas and his grandfather knew that the Halloways Company is bound to fall, just like Leo took out other companies if nothing is done.“Involving police and asking me to standby last night was the biggest mistake you made, Mr. Edwards,” Jack said. “I have my boy, trailing both Sebastian and Debby since they met at the Wreakin’ club. I am the only one that knows how he operates. I would have gotten him last night if I was allowed but you said you don’t trust me.”M

The next morning at the police station, Ace is sitting in the interrogation room. Shortly, Officer Steve walked into the room with a folder and dropped it on the table in front of Ace.“I thought you were the good guy until you started killing innocent people,” Officer Steve said as he sat opposite Ace.Ace chuckled. “You got the wrong guy!” Ace said.Officer Steve looked at him for a while then said, “The records in front of you said otherwise.”“Your records might be correct. But they are not talking about me, they are talking about Leo, and I am not Leo.”“So who are you?”“I am Ace! A-C-E! in case you can’t spell it.”“The information that reached us last night said that Leo was invading the Halloways Hospital. If you are not Leo, then what are you doi
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 131. GETTING CAUGHT
As I wanted to leave the room, my eyes fell on a Rubik’s cube set on a sizable fridge in the corner. “I have seen something like that,” I thought. I tried to remember where and when but I could not so I decided to forget about it and leave.But as I made to go out, my mind was still on the Rubik’s cube. It was as if there was a rope tied to me from the Rubik’s cube, making my going out without dragging it along impossible. So I decided to carry it along.Just as I stepped out of the room to go, I felt a piece of metal touch my head. As I turned, there was Joan with a gun. She moved backward to leave some space between us.“What are you doing with a gun, Joan?”“Nothing. I just want that Rubik’s cube.”“And why should I give it to you?”“Because I have a gun. If you don’t give
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 130. MOBBING THE HALLOWAYS
When Sebastian initially approached the building, there was no sign of policemen around, not even the hospital security. Not seeing any security in sight only meant one thing to him; they cleared everywhere just to lure him into the building easily, so they could lock down the building and hem him in. But he was not going to make it that easy for them.“This is going to be tougher than I thought.”That was why he changed his plan and decided to create some panic by going behind the building to the powerhouse to knock out the power source.But just when he turned to go, a bright halogen light flashed at him, and every darkness that hid him before left!“Shit! I just caught made before I even started,” Sebastian muttered.“Oh! It’s you!” Ace said and turned off the torch.“Ace what are you doing?”

Sebastian and Debby kept arguing without making any progress. She was determined to go.“You don’t have to be worried about my safety,” Sebastian said. “Jack and Ace are going with me. I already notified them. So you just rest right here.”“If you are going down, I want to be there to go down with you. I’m ready to take this risk.”Debby felt it was a risk worth taking, besides she has cancer anyway. Dying from a bullet or getting caught is better than dying slowly of cancer.“Even if you stop me from going with you, I will still come after you. I love you too much to let you walk right into the danger zone all alone,” Debby persisted.“You are so stubborn,” Sebastian taunted her.“Oh yeah!” Debby chuckled and put her arm on his neck then continued, “A trait I picked up

Mr. Edwards brandished the gun with a mischievous smile on his face then said, “I sent you to do business for me and you were not afraid to run away with my money? You deserve not to be heard but to be killed!”Jack knew what he did. He knew Mr. Edwards was not blabbing. He knew what he can do.“Now tell me why I should not shoot you right now for betraying my trust for you and running away with my money?” Mr. Edwards threatened.Jack was unmoved. “That’s why I’m here,” he said. “I am tired of running. I want to be free, I want to be able to pay you back all the money I stole from the company.”“And you are sure you will be able to pay that money even in your entire lifetime?”“The information I brought is worth more than your entire company. That is nothing compared to whatever I’m owing.&r
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 127. THE TEARS
When Debby walked through the hospital that day with her things, everyone was looking at her, wondering why she was packing. She was so ashamed.Her life since she joined that hospital kept going up and down, from one trouble to another and now she is been sacked.“Life has been fucking unfair to me. So fucking unfair!” she cussed under her breath.From the corner of her eyes, she could see Joan smiling at her as she made her way through the door. She is probably happy that she lost once again. It was only Brian that came to help her with her things. He stood with her until she entered a taxi and left.She had wanted to go home to pick up her necklace after work before going over to Sebastian’s place but no more. The pain she was feeling was so much that only a good cry with her head on his broad chest could be the only remedy. If it were before, she would be thinking of going
My Badboy Lover – Romancing The Thief 126. YOU ARE FIRED!
It was a Monday morning already. It’s almost two days since Sophia my friend lured me to a club and made me get drunk. All through the weekend, I didn’t go home apart. I had several calls from Jakes saying he wanted to see me but after getting drunk, all the promises I made of coming home to see him were history.But there was something else. Before I left Sebastian’s house for work, he told me to stay away from my house as much as possible and also try to get Jakes to do so. I agreed. But I know I lied to him. I might not be going home to sleep, for the time being, moreover, I like being with him at all times. But I cannot let my necklace in the room. I need to get it.My dad gave it to me a few days before he died. He told me I would be needing that necklace one day but never told me why nor do I know what it would be useful for apart from just wearing it as an ornament.That’s
