"I know you are disappointed. Mostly because I knew the different plans you had for Alex and I but I think you should start getting rid of those thoughts because trust me, I am not getting back together with that guy ever again." I said with a stern look on my face. "Liv, you are angry and you know you should not be making decisions when you are as angry as this right. So you will just have to calm down and make this decision in the morning." "It's so amazing how you actually think that I will feel even remotely better in the morning," I said angrily and stood up. I did not understand why she was still so hell bent on me going back to that man. I knew she liked money but I was desperately hoping that she would actually chose her best friend over money. But I was wrong and Ivy did not seem to really care about me that much. The only thing it did was to make me more angry than happy. And I knew at that moment that the best thing to do would be to stay away from her before she would g
I walked into the library not knowing where to start from but as soon as I saw the librarian, I remembered that it was okay to ask for advice and so I walked closer to her. She was an middle age woman with beautiful gray hair and a wonderful smile. She looked so amazing and I could not help but wonder how she looked when she was younger. If she looked this good now, then she must have been a striking beauty when she was younger. "Good morning dear, how can I help you today?" The woman said with a warm smile on her face. The smile was welcoming and made all my fears of disturbing her to fly out of the window. In her eyes, I could see a woman who loved her job and who took pleasure in doing her job. She looked extremely passionate and her eyes showed that she desperately wanted to help. "Good morning ma. I actually don't know where to start from but I am doing a research on someone and I would love to gather as much information as I can about this person." She looked at me with a
I did my best to rush you and fill all questionnaires and I provided him with as much information as I had, which was next to nothing. I was almost scared to give the book back to him because I knew that I was so close to being insulted because of how little the information I gave him was. "What's wrong?" The man who helped me asked when he noticed how distressed I was looking. "I feel like this is a bad idea. I mean I can't give him this questionnaire. It has almost nothing in it." "Let me see," he asked and I handed it over to him. He took a second to scan through it and then said, "wow, you are correct. This doesn't really contain much but you know what, I am sure that he will be able to come up with something you can use and work with. Let's go," he said and took my hand, pulling me towards the guy. He dropped the paper in front of him and the guy smiled when he picked it up. "What the hell do you think I am? A magician?" He said as he looked at me. "Oh come on man. I am su
Daniel's POVTony poured a glass of water for me. I could see the worry in his eyes and he could tell that I did not like anything that was going on. All I wanted was to find secrets about Deborah that I could use to wreck her life the way she did mine but instead, I ended up finding secrets about my father as well and I found out things that would definitely hurt Olivia when I finally tell her. It was supposed to be simpler than this and for the fact that it wasn't, made me almost want to run mad. I took the glass of water and down the liquid in one gulp.To make matters worse, I might have just gone ahead and implicated my life. Now I will have to be extra careful and make sure that I was not taken out and killed the way I envisioned it to happen. "You need to take a second and calm down. It's not normal, what you are doing." Tony said and I doubted every word that came out of his mouth. "What exactly are you talking about? Of course it is very normal. Do I look like I am used to
"How did you hear that name?" I asked her. I did not want to believe that Olivia could actually be so stupid as to tell her about Sandra. Part of it would be my fault though. I was the one who didn't tell her about what I was doing. I didn't inform her that the only reason I was doing what I did was simply because I wanted to buy myself more time and get to the route of those pictures. I knew that I had made her feel like I didn't care about her and that she didn't really matter to me. I could not really blame her now. I was so sure that she did what she did out of anger and spite. Plus Stacy knew how to bring out the worse part in people. I was more than certain that she had said something to Liv that would make her get so upset and urge her to want to simply destroy her confidence in her self. But all that was not going to help me now. I had to find a way to solve this problem without making it out to be the worst thing ever to happen to me. "You really need to calm down now," I
"what?! No, how can you even say something like that? Do you actually think before you talk?!" I scolded her but she didn't have a sober expression on her face. It just looked like whatever I had said went into on ear and immediately out of the other. "No, I hear you loud and clear okay. But what I am saying is that you can't just allow yourself to used like this babe. You said you want to get rid of her and I am very much sure that you do not like this girl in any way, so why even bother? Why don't you just tell some boys to do and needful and we can go back to living our best lives?" She asked me again. I knew that Stacy could be nasty but I never believed that she could actually want to do something so terrible to another human being. Has she killed before? Does she have a record with the police? It was beginning to look like every woman from a rich background that I knew was nothing short of a killer. "I am not going to kill her. I just want to find a way to get my dad to not a
"Oh fuck! What the hell does this girl want again?!" I sneered in anger as I wondered what she would be doing back so soon. I knew she could be a pest but I had never imagined that she could be so disturbing. I moved speedily to the door and once I opened it, I saw a man with a face mask on."Huh, sorry man. I think you have the wrong house," I didn't fully understand who he was or what he was doing at my door but I somehow knew that he had not gotten the wrong house. "Oh I am very much sure that I do not have the wrong house sir. Your name is Daniel, right?" As soon he was done, I slammed the door but he used his feet to block it and forced it open with his hand. "Well by your actions, then I am sure that you are the man I am looking for!" He said "What the hell do you want?!" I stood my ground and asked but he just had a smile on his face. "I'm here to help you actually." "Help me? How?" I asked. "Because I asked him to come over," Tony said behind me and came forward to sha
"What?" The more Reuben spoke, the more I realized that I knew very little about the drama that was actually going on all these years. But now, it was beginning to make sense. The pieces of the puzzle were beginning to add up. "Yes. The woman was already pregnant and when Billy found out, he was very upset because he knew that even if he got Valerie, all of her attention would be on the child and not on him. His new plan was simple, get rid of the same kid and remove her from Valerie's life," Reuben said. "What?" Tony asked. "I mean, I know he can be very very evil but isn't this just supposed to be downright cruel. Why separate a mother from her child? Please tell me that he wasn't successful?" "Oh he was. However, he didn't do it alone. He found out how far gone Valerie was and during the time he found this out, she was about to give birth. That was when he paid Deborah to do the needful and take the baby away from the mother after birth." "And she did?" I asked, surprised that
I rushed over to the location she sent to me as fast as I could. Only for me to get there and see her standing by the road, waiting for me. As soon as she saw me highlighting from my car, she moved towards a restaurant and I followed her. But she didn't sit, instead she moved to the backroom and I wondered why they would just allow her to go in there. Doesn't one need some sort of punishment to get in there? I decided that I was not in the place to ask. After all, I had come there for something much more important. Finally, I was going to put an end to the madness that was happening because of those pictures. "Good afternoon ma, how may I help you today?" Stacy was stopped at the entrance to the backroom by a petite looking girl wearing a uniform. "I am here with this handsome man," she said and brought out a card and showed it to the woman. The woman nodded her head immediately and opened the door for her. "Would you be needing anything as you stay ma?" She asked. "No, I won't

"Liv, trust me when I tell you this, we will not get anyway if you keep lying to me like this. Just tell me what you know and we can work together to get you out of whatever mess you are in," I said calmly. I needed her to see me in the light of a big brother and I was desperate to get her to trust me. It was very obvious to me that she won't though and no matter what I tried, it won't get her to change her mind. But I hoped that it will. "You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Listen to me when I tell you this okay, I don't know or have any kind of information. I should even be the one asking you all these questions since you are the one who actually brought me out of my house to come here on such a short notice. Now can you please just tell me what you know so that I can go." "Liv." "Daniel, for fuck's sake, you said that I am in trouble! Now tell me what kind of trouble it is because I am really fighting hard now to believe that you did not just lie to me just t
"Daniel?" Tony called out but I was no longer interested in anything he had to say. I needed to get to Olivia. I had to tell her everything I knew. The sooner I did it, the better it would be for me"I will have to go now. I'll talk to you later, okay?" I said as I walked out Immediately I was outside, I placed a call across to her. Thankfully, she picked on the first ring"I don't care where you are right now but I need you to come meet me. I can't explain everything over the phone but I need to see you right now," I said and I could tell that I was scaring her"What's going on?" She asked but I was not about to answer her over the phone"Look, I really can't say much now and I can't talk over the phone but I need you to come meet me right now Liv.""You are seriously scaring me Daniel. What's going on?""I need to be sure that you are safe. Meet me at where we agreed. I will be there in like an hour time," I said. "You will be there right?" I heard hesitation in her voice before
Tony waited patiently till Reuben had left before he walked up to me and said, "You know you should have told him everything you know, right?" He said. "I did tell him everything I know man." I answered him as I walked to get a cup of water to drink. "Oh come on. You know you can lie to everyone else but you really can't lie to me, I know when you are not saying the truth. I have been your friend for an awfully long amount of time." "You sound like you are not so pleased about that. Could it be because I lied to your accomplice?" I asked as I poured the water into a glass and drank it whole. "What do you mean by that?" "I am not a fool Tony. I..." "Are you by any chance implying that I am working with Reuben to get rid of Olivia?" He was getting enraged and it was quiet visible but still, I wasn't going to allow his emotions to turn me away from the real questions I needed to ask him "How does this even make sense to you as you are saying it? Do you really think that I will s
"What do you mean by that? Of course I would want to know so that I can know what our next step will be." Reuben was quick to answer but he was skillful enough to not give a very conclusive answer. "Well how exactly do you mean? Who exactly is this we that you speak of?" He asked. "Look I don't know what you think you are trying to do now but you will need to stop it and actually start trusting me," he continued. "I never said that I don't trust you. I just said that I don't understand why you so badly needed the information. If I didn't trust you, I won't still be standing here and talking to you. You know this very well and so does your friend here." Tony didn't say a word after that. He could not understand what I was doing but he was not going to open his mouth and say something that would cause any kind of trouble with him and his friend. It made me wonder if he truly trusted the man like he said he does or if I should even trust the man the way I did. "Tony are you just go
"How am I supposed to know that?" I asked, being offended that they would actually say a thing like that to me. Was I supposed to know what was on her back? But then again I did have access to her back when we were always fooling around and I could remember perfectly well, the night that we actually did something together, she did have a mole on her back. I could remember it so vividly because I honestly thought that it was very weird that she would have a red mark that big and it didn't hurt her. I also could remember asking her about it but she didn't say anything to me, she didn't even try to hide the fact that she didn't know how it got there. "I honestly have no idea how that thing got there but I believe it's because of all these drama that is constantly going on around me. I may have been hurt there without knowing," she had said before. Before now, I have always thought that maybe, just maybe, she was kidding but the more I looked at it, the more I realized that she knew ex
"Wait, is this some type of joke? Please tell me that this is some type of joke? What exactly is going on here?" I asked him. Was he actually serious about everything he said or was everything he said just a means to get to me and get me to do something that I was definitely going to regret? Could he actually be serious? Because if he was serious then that simply meant that everyone that Olivia was surrounding herself with were bad news on a good day. All of them can easily hurt her and get away with it if they were really working with Billy.I immediately felt an urge to protect her some more, I could not allow anything to happen to her and now that I knew that no one around her was actually sincere or a good person, I could not sit back and allow her be with such people. "Is it the same Alexander as I one I showed you?" Tony asked him and Reuben nodded his head. I didn't like to be kept in the dark. "Which Alexander did you show him? Is it the same one that I know?" I asked Tony
