"Dad, from what I observed, it could be a car that is being controlled with a remote" " I think you are very correct my daughter" " Honey, so you think? what about a ghost?" "Mom, I don't think ghosts exist" "Valerie, you think so?" "Yes mom, thinking of a ghost is all about imagination" " not really my dear, they are real" "Okay! Can you both stop this arguments about a ghost and let us focus on who the controller was according to Valerie," "So what do you think we should do?" Mom asked. " I have a suggestion. From the little knowledge I have, I think we should track the number that called dad. What do you think?" Dad looked at me with so much surprise. "Now you're talking. Who gave you that idea? I think that is the best thing to do" "Mom, hope you're not jealous?" I teased her. "Why should I be jealous?" "Dad, I don't know why I am suspecting Tracy's father?" "Exactly where my mind went to. But we all saw him going to work" "But the car does not look like his
Mom was inside the room, I was sure she was not in a good mood. I moved to the kitchen to prepare launch. After preparing lunch, I arranged the dining table and went to call my parents but I found only mom. "Mom, wake up. Lunch is ready" I tapped her to wake up. "Oh darling, you cooked?" "Yes mom, the day have been far spent" "Such a darling. So you can now take care of the house without being asked to do so. I am proud of you girl" "Thanks so much. Where is dad?""Is he not in the living room?" "Not at all. I came out from the kitchen, I thought he was with you" "Maybe he stepped out" "Okay, let us go and eat. When he comes back, microwave his food" "Sure mom. I know dad does not like cold food" We moved to the dining table to eat. Mom tasted the food and smiled. I knew she was pleased with my food because I saw it on her face. "You like it?" "Why not? It tastes nice" "Thank you mom, it taste like yours too" "Well, I don't know how my food taste. But trust me, you will
I quickly took Daddy's phone and called Mum but she wasn't picking up, I dialed her line again, this time around it wasn't connecting. Who do I call now? Maybe I need to step out to know what is happening. Was it safe for me to step out? I had two brace up. I quickly wore my slippers and took Daddy's phone along with me as a means of communication since I don't have a phone. Because of security reasons I had to switch off the outside lights so that no one would be able to see me when I step out. I came outside and moved over to where I was hearing the yelling and crying. I noticed that two people just died there. What could have caused the death? I overheard someone came into the house. The person couldn't be identified. I became so terrified. Hope my parents are safe? The best thing was for me to go back home. I carefully retraced my step back to the house immediately I got inside I bolted the door. Few minutes later I had a knock on the door I became scared hope it's not
"People are being murdered in every family. Who could be doing this? Does it mean the person has no sympathy? Dad, is killing one of the criteria to win?" "No my dear, although this is how it has always been" During the news the next day. It was discovered that an unknown person has been responsible for the killing in the streets. The person was said be in black throughout, no part of the body was exposed. He appears in a house, kills anyone he sees and disappears immediately. "Appear and disappears? This is ridiculous" Dad said "Honey, I am beginning to get scared. This killer has vowed to visit every family" "Relax, I am here. He can't do anything" I watched my parents as they were chatting. Now mom can see why I told her to discourage dad. "You know why these are happening? The killer knows the families that are contesting the same position with him, so he trying to cause sorrow to them as a form of distraction" "Honey, this is an unknown killer. Nobody knows the p
VALERIE'S POV"Dad, do you believe the story? How can Tracy be killed? We all know who Ralph is" "That is why I am confused. Could it be a set up?" "Dad, remember they used their daughter to set me up and they didn't succeed. We can't tell which is true" "I felt the disappointment on her face when we were about to go inside. She expected us to rush over to her place to see" my mother said"Of course, we can't try that after what they did to us. How can a family that turned against you suddenly ask for your help? It is very suspicious" Dad said We were pondering over the matter. I thought Ralph and his family were very strong to handle any situation. We all know how desperate he is towards winning the post. "I still ask this question, who is the killer?" Dad asked."Sincerely, the question is a very confusing one. It shows that there is someone more desperate than Ralph" Mom replied. We noticed a car sped past our house. "That could be Ralph," Dad said. "Do we go and find out?"
"How do you expect me to know him, when he is always covered in a dark attire?" "Oh! You have seen him?" "Yes" I began to question. How did he see him? "How did you know he is covered?" "Derek, that is a story for another day" Why did he avoid answering the question? Why can't he share his experience? Are you now thinking about what I said earlier? I can't trust this man. I thought."Derek, how come you and your family have escaped this stranger? Because almost every family in the pack has lost their loved ones?" That question was unexpected. Was he wishing us to experience sorrow? Why does he want to know about it? I hope dad will play smarter than Ralph here. Our secret should not be opened to him. "Ralph, I can't just tell. I think we are just so lucky, besides I am not desperate about the post. Maybe that is why the stranger hasn't come" I observed the way Ralph looked at him. He was not happy and satisfied about the answer. What else does he want to know? This man is pla
VALERIE'S POV Well, we can't tell for now. Everything is so cloudy. We will still find out" I was beginning to understand some things. But we really need to find the killer. We waited to know the next line of action. "Maybe I should visit Ralph and ask him if any journalist visited him" Dad said. "Honey, please call him on the phone instead of going there. There are so many ways to rope people in their dirty games. This could be one of it" I agreed with what mom said. We need to take precautions regardless of the person. Dad picked up his phone and called him. Ralph made it clear that nobody came to his house. He also warned Dad to be careful. "You see what I told you. That journalist is a suspect" I said. "I think we all need to be vigilant tonight. I sense a lot of danger" This is not a joke. For some nights now, I have not slept well. I am already feeling sick and tired of all these dramas. "Why can't this be happening in the daytime?" "Have you not heard that
Mr Ralph has been so busy, giving his family less attention just because he wants to win. Even after losing the only child he never cared. I know that the reason was, when he wins he will deal with everyone and I am sure my father will not be left out in this. "Grandma will be coming to spend some time with us" Dad announced "Wow, I miss grandma so much. When is she coming,Dad?" "I haven't thought of the exact day that will be convenient. I will send someone to help me get her since we don't have a car again" I remembered how we lost our car, it was at the start of those sleepless nights but now, it's all in the past now. The day for the oath taking came.During the time of swearing in to the new position as an Alpha, it was a big ceremony. We had a lot of presenters. I was glowing in my new clothes and shoes. That day was all about us. My father was to be crowned the new Alpha. His status changed from just being Derek to Alpha Derek of the panther's pack. What was I say
VALERIE'S POV"What? You mean it is fake? How come?""Chelsea, do not pretend that you are not aware of the fake result""Ezra, why would you say a thing like that? I don't know what you are saying""Doctor, please go ahead""It is a false result because I was asked to do so""Who asked you to give us a false result?""Ezra, is that necessary? You have known of the false result, now just take a drastic action. You are delaying everything""Beta, don't rush me. Allow me to do whatever I want. Please continue"Everywhere was becoming tense. I knew I was right when I suspected these two friends. I only wonder what Ezra will do. "I was paid""By who?""Valerie is not pregnant, she only has a little change due to weather. I am sorry for the mistake""You have not yet answered my question""Chelsea and Beta paid me to fake the pregnancy result when they realized that she was not pregnant" "That's a big fat lie. What do you mean by "we paid you?" "There is no need to pretend, we have been
VALERIE'S POVMy heart stopped beating but I was wondering what the hidden truth could be. What is Ezra trying to do? I sat upright on my bed and supported my back with the pillow. "Valerie, you don't need to stress yourself. Just relax on your bed. Everyone can hear me"What does he mean by I should relax? I am only interested to know the hidden truth he is talking about. Chelsea raised her hand, it seems she has a question to ask. "Chelsea, you have something to say?""I have a question to ask""Alright, ask""Ezra, you talked about a hidden truth. We are waiting to hear what you are about to say. Please go ahead"Exactly what was going on in my mind. Was he thinking of what to say or how to start? I know that everyone was asking themselves the same questions. I looked at Jason, his face was also filled with confusion. Ezra made us feel like something was wrong. Is there something that was done in secret that we don't know about? Maybe he just made the statement to scare us. The
VALERIE'S POVI just wondered what the outcome will be, now that the doctor is around. My heart was seriously beating faster. Someone who was close to me would be able to hear the sound of my heartbeat.The only thing that made me scared was if the doctor came back with the two friends. I was actually waiting to see the doctor and also to see the two people I called friends. But when the doctor arrived I couldn't see Beta and Chelsea.Does that mean they have gone? I felt a little bit relieved. "So doctor, can you tell us what the result says?"The doctor opened a little envelope and brought out the results and gave it to Ezra. He collected the result paper and opened it, but he couldn't understand what was written."Doctor, can you please explain this. I am seeing a plus sign. What does it mean?""It means she is pregnant and there's no need to doubt it because from your reports about what you saw you told me that she was throwing up""Yes, I said so""From all indication, it shows
VALERIE'S POVWhat are these people saying? Why is Beta talking about pregnancy? And why will the doctor allow them to follow him? Something is really fishy between the doctor and these two people. I don't understand at all. "Valerie, what Beta is saying, is it true? He is here to claim the pregnancy""What pregnancy are you talking about? Have I been confirmed pregnant? That is what you should ask yourself. What is all this drama all about? Besides, doctor, what is the relationship between you and his two friends and why will they follow you?""Why are you asking all these questions as if you weren't in the house with us weeks ago? and you have been with my friend. You have been sleeping in his room having sex all around countless times""Stop it! What is wrong with you? Why are you lying?""What are you talking about again? Chelsea is not lying. You know the truth so why are you hiding it?" "I can see that you two have a plan to achieve. An agenda in your cupboard and that is why
VALERIE'S POVI ran into the bathroom to clean myself. I wondered what could be wrong, but I was already running temperature. My body was hot. I came out of the bathroom. Ezra was giving me a very angry look."What is the meaning of what you did now?""What is the problem?""You are asking me what the problem is? Can you explain to me why you started throwing up?""I can't say but my body is very hot and I am feeling so feverish?""What do you mean by that? just all of a sudden you are feeling so feverish. You have been discussing laughing and chatting with Jason, you never experienced any of this. No signs, no symptoms. I need to call the doctor back to check you. It seems you are pregnant"How could I be pregnant? It's over how many weeks now, I should have had something like this earlier in which would have confirmed that I am pregnant. "You can call the doctor" I was so upset. What kind of embarrassment is this? My head started feeling heavy. What could this be?"Please call the
VALERIE'S POVI just have to be careful with them so as not to fall into their trap. I am very sure they are not happy with me and whatever to get me into trouble they will surely do it. The Alpha needs to be careful also because those two are capable of doing anything, even if it is to kill, they are ready. I have known my friend for a very long time so even if someone says she killed another, I will believe it because she is capable and she fears no one.Ezra walked into my room and sat down on a single chair that was close to the window. I was staring at him "Hey, why are you staring at me?""I am just waiting for you to talk. You just came in and sat down without saying anything, so I was wondering what brought you into the room""I just wanted us to talk""Wow! okay" I sat down upright on my bed and sharpened my ears to listen"Do you love Jason?"I was shocked at that silly question "What sort of question is this?""I just found out because I noticed you both spend time togeth
CHELSEA'S POV"Me too, I can't even see anybody there. But how did it open?"maybe Valerie has begged the Alpha to open the entrance door for us. But when did he arrive? We didn't even hear any sound of someone opening the entrance door""This is ridiculous. Why don't you try and call Valerie to know what happened""Okay, give me my phone let me call her""Hi Valerie, I want to ask if you are the one who told the Alpha to come and open the door for us""I haven't talked to him privately about it, I only made mention of it, but the Alpha is indoors. so who opened the door for you?"I became confused "that was why I called to know if he was the one. but anyways the door is open, goodbye""What did she say?""she said she didn't tell him privately about it that she only made mention of it. maybe he tried to listen to her and opened it. you know we have been talking all this while. We wouldn't have known if someone came here or not. Maybe he sent Jason""That cannot be true. we were talki
VALERIE'S POVWhy is this lady so bitter? She doesn't have a forgiving spirit. Hope Jason can cope with this kind of attitude? This kind of person is a very hard human. Her heart is so hard and can never be broken no matter what.Let me call him and tell him the latest information. I picked up my phone and called him to see me in my room. In a few minutes he arrived. "Any good news?""Jason, There is nothing like good news. I tried talking to her but I got an insult instead""Why is she doing this? Why is she like this? she doesn't forgive and forget""I don't think that is in her agenda. She never forgets and she never forgives. She only pretends that everything is fine. She said I should never call her to talk about that again. how are you sure that even if she accepts, Are you going to cope with that kind of attitude? Of course, misunderstanding will surely arise. how do you want to cope with that kind of human being?""That one is not a problem Valerie, it will be sorted out. I o
VALERIE'S POVWe were so shocked. Why was he acting like this? It's just a harmless hug. So what does he mean by his statement?"So this is what you do when you are in a room together. I know that something was going on but I wanted to get my evidence and you two have been denying and claiming innocent all this while""Ezra, it is just a harmless hug. Why are you taking this too far?""What do you mean by I am taking it too far. Why would Jason hug you? What do you both have in common that will warrant a hug and I thought I asked Jason leave this place? Why did he come back again? I asked him to come back because we were actually discussing about something when you walked in""Oh I see! what were you people talking about that I don't know""It is nothing serious. just about the treatment I got from those two heartless friends, very bad and also his own encounter when he got there""Are you sure of what you are telling me?""I am very sure, you can ask him"I wonder why he was looking
