Lilly was very specific and thorough when she asked him the question.

“ Jake? Is Alexander married to Alice Jet of the famous Jet empire?”,she inquired of him. She lifted up her head to give him a pointed look, the look was daring Jake and he knew it. The look she was giving him was daring him to lie to her.

Even a pin drop could be heard loudly in the room, the silence was between them was heavy and Jake couldn’t help but gape openly at her in shock. He didn’t know Lilly Johnson was so capable, for her to know such information about Alice Jet would only mean that she either hired a private investigator or had Alexander followed.

‘Oh wow! Is grandma that desperate to know everything about Alexander and his movements that she had him followed?’. He thought to himself in terror whilst he kept on gaping at her. Grandma Lilly didn’t mind the delay in the information she’d be getting from him, she continued impatiently pacing around the room. He curled his lip in annoyance and stared blank

    Grandma Lilly couldn’t move a muscle, she stood frozen on the ground. She didn’t know whether to move forward or backwards, her heart was beating too fast in anxiety. She didn’t have any knowledge kids when she made the journey and didn’t know the ones with Alexander outside either but she was too anxious to go outside and found that out for herself. Alice smiled a bit and she gave her a little reassurance nod. Grandma sighed once more and allowed the beautiful stranger drag her along to the backyard.Immediately they got out of the door, she came across a scene she never excepted in all the remaining years of her life. The backyard of the house was very impressive, they were a lot of flowers, trees and a huge canopy occupying the other side of the backyard where no tree nor flowers was planted. Under the enlarged canopy was a luxurious looking lounge sitting set with a grill at the far end of the lounge. The entire environment was serene but also smells so good because of the meat, ve

    Lilly hissed angrily at Alexander ,”then how is it? When did you plan on telling me that you got married again and you have two children?! When?! After I’m dead and in my grave?!”, she questioned him distastefully. Alexander tried to open his mouth severally to defend himself but couldn’t bring himself to utter a word. He was speechless, he was also confused about what grandma was on about but Grandma Lilly wasn’t done yet.“Grandma, I never got married again! I swear it! What are you talking about? I’ve always had only one wife and I never plan on marrying anyone else.” He replied her calmly as if he was explaining to a kid so she can truly understand what he was saying.“ oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!! You didn’t Alexander Johnson! Please tell me you didn’t!”. She exclaimed dramatically making Alice smile a bit at the dramatic woman but making Alexander and Jake a bit befuddled as they keep looking at each other in a daze state. They were not finding their current situation funny.“Mm I d

    Alexander smirked and chuckled softly in amusement, he had totally forgotten how much of an over-thinker his grandmother was. “ Yes grandma, that’s what I mean, my wife didn’t dead years ago with the pregnancy. She’s the Alice Jet you know now! A lot had happened over the years that’s why she had to change her identity and hid from all of us until it was save for them. All that had to be done for their safety. And yes those twins are our children, our legitimate children.” Alexander stated proudly with a grin. When Lilly heard what Alexander said, she felt her entire mind go blank, suddenly she felt a strong wave of dizziness wash through her and then followed palpitations rendering her motionless. She felt her will power slowly slipping through her hands. She started seeing the faces of the people in front of her in multiple, then those faces became blurred. Slowly like the movement of a tortoise, she escaped reality to the unconscious world not caring about the three young people c

The motel she was staying at was a total nightmare, well a nightmare for herfor the reason of her upbringing and previous lifestyle.

They were times when attempts was even made to break into her room, she had to take her phone pretending to be talking with the police, that usually keep them off. She once went to the shop down the street to buy some things, on her way back, she was stopped by some thugs who harassed her and even attempted to rape her. If not for the timely intervention of a police patrol car driving by, she would have her gang raped that ni

    Jane picked the call and spoke into the phone anxiously, she waited impatiently for the voice at the other side of the call to address her.“Long time, how are you doing Jane Li?”, a hoarse but extremely muscular voice addressed her at the other side of the call making her almost drop the expensive phone. Just like the previous call, she knows this voice like the back of her hands.“Alex?”, she called out in disbelief as she stared dumbfounded at the cream wall in front of her. She thought she had to make another visit to him again in hopes of getting a fair idea of the process. She wanted to know, how her beloved was doing and if Leonardo was with him. She had a lot in mind but what she didn’t expect was him making such an effort to get back to her. She wanted to ask how he got her number but almost laughed out loud about her foolishness, if Ken Li with little to no influence in the country can find her so easily then it was a piece of cake for Alexander to do the same within minutes

    The room was like a grave yard after the call ended between Alexander and Jane Li. The phone was still sitting pretty on the center table with Alexander staring at it blankly. Since the call ended, he had been mute whilst cuddling at the equally dumbfounded Alice who had a blank look on her pretty face.“Why didn’t you do anything about what she was going through in the past? You had knowledge of it and it seems she told you immediately the abuse started. You knew what she was going through in the hands of her protector and yet for years you did nothing. You did nothing to help her, nor did the adults around them. In natural fact, you all failed her as a child. You failed her by sitting down and doing nothing when her own biological father sexual abused her for years.” Alice stated after a while. They were both seated in an awkward silence after the call. Alexander closed his eyes in agony and he threw his head back in regret. What Alice just said had been something that has hunted hi

    Alexander paused and gathered his inner strength, he needed all the strength and courage he can get. He sighed deeply and started talking. “I remember visiting the Li’s mansion just weeks after the scene George and I walked into, the atmosphere was so intense that everyone was uncomfortable at the dining table. George wasn’t in talking terms with either his mother nor father, he blamed his mother for knowing about the pain and abuse his baby sister was going through in the hands of their father but kept mute because she didn’t want to destroy her home or should I say marriage. She was too in love with Ken Li, she was blinded by love.” Alexander muttered sarcastically with a finger quote when he mentioned marriage with a funny expression.“That is sick! That is fucking sick! She doesn’t deserve to be a mother at all. I never thought this badly of a follow woman till now. Gosh I’m so so angry right now!”, Alice exclaimed in disgust making Alexander giggle darkly because he wasn’t even a

The cemetery was empty apart from the four of them, Romeo couldn’t leave Diane either and Alexander and Alice couldn’t afford to leave them alone there. The workers hired had already filled the grave with soil and it wasn’t easy for Diane during that period, she had to be held tightly in a tight embrace by Romeo who wasn’t feeling any better than her but was rather finding strength in his grieving heart.

How’s Alice and the family doing? Oh! How’s grandma? I miss her asf! Did that Romeo guy contact you? There’s some developments in the case and he said he will tell you personally so I shouldn’t be the one to tell you. Did he tell you?”, Jane’s voice filled his ear drums and room with questions after questions making those present in the room giggle softly at how fast she was talking and asking the questions.“Everyone is fine and also extends their greetings to you guys and yeah the Romeo guy did contact me, in fact he just left here and that’s why I called you.” Alexander verbalized.“Mmm-that’s cool.

    Jake smiled sadly and cleared his throat,”I think his problem wasn’t any of that but the fact that it was a man. He probably got drunk and did it with a man and is now beating himself up because he doesn’t know how to handle such a feeling.” He verbalized as everyone one nodded in understanding to what Jake muttered, only for that moment of understanding to be cut short by a hoarse voice.“I was the sober one but he was drunk!”, the hoarse voice of Richard echoed in the room as they all turned to face the direction of the voice. They were all baffled to see the two friends who fought barely a minute ago in each others arms. Richard was looking at them with red bloodshot eyes and Philip hugged him to himself tightly.Philip frowned deeply and push away from Richard slightly,”You were the sober one and he was the drunk one? Then why the heck were you playing the victim card for days now?! I mean you were literally rude to him since he got here because of what exactly?!”, Philip questione

    An initial silence went through the room like a hurricane before the storm of their reaction followed. The chorus of their response was all in agreement with what Alexander suggested because she was apparently the best person they can all turn to in this tricky situation. She was also very much involved in the case as much as they were and wants to the truth to be revealed. They all came together for a common agreement on the plans and strategy for bringing down those powerful wicked men at the high places. The plan was simple per their agreement, Jane Li slash Jane Muller is supposed to be added to plan and Alexander was responsible for bringing her up to date with their plans and the solutions they put in place to achieve what they wanted.Then Jane was supposed to convince Robert Pint’s mistress to turn against him and bring her to their side by means of bribe or any other means possible. The amount of money and the luxuries were out of the world and they plan on granting all of th

    “Well, I think I made a mistake by saying he was like my father because my father is better than him in some aspects, he is worse than a monster. Charlotte wasn’t born in the hospital but in the house because Diane is an illegal immigrant and hence she didn’t have her papers and let’s not forget that he hid her throughout her pregnancy so when she had to give birth, it was done in the house with his assistance. Charlotte is not in the system so if he kills and bury her right now, the world won’t know a thing about it nor will they ask questions. He never intended on marrying Diane until the cries of the baby got the attention of the neighbors and murmurs began going around in the community and raising alarm. He had no choice but to get married to her and make her a legalized citizen. So now they both know what he’s capable of and since Charlotte doesn’t technically exist, he can get away with killing her and leaving the only witness to be Diane who he also plans to kill and put an end

    Alexander sat quietly in the couch and leaned back a bit as he observed both Richard and Romeo, especially their body language and facial expression. He turned quietly to glance at Philip who felt the hot gaze at the side of his face and turned to him. The two stared at each other for sometime before the light bulb light up in Alexander’s mind and recognition became evident to him. He gasped softly and turned to Richard in shock but before he could master the strength and confront him, Romeo cleared his throat loudly to get their attention.“Richard right? I don’t know what I’ve ever done to you since I came inside but I don’t do married women and I most certainly don’t do any woman. They are not exactly my mmm-preference, my name might be Romeo but I’m not like that Romeo in literature. I can proudly say I am my authentic self and I prefer the opposite of things he likes.” He verbalized and checked out Richard who was blushing openly like a school boy.

I can’t wait to be done with this fuck case because it is causing me a lot of headache and my morals! This is too draining and suffocating because for the first time, I’m now thorn between doing what is right, what is wrong and what feels right and sincerely speaking, I can’t decide which path I want to take.” Alexander turned around to face Alice then at the guys before he spoke on the behalf of all of them present in the room.“You have our word, whatever you say here, stays here with us and not a soul away from this group will hear the wind of it. This is my promise to you.” Alexander muttered to him with a sincere voice and soft nod. Romeo nodded unconsciously with his mind turning against him as he glance at them numbly.
