Jane Li sighed helplessly in her hotel room for what seems like the hundred times since she woke up from her long nap. Who would have thought that, she, Jane Li growing up a rich girl will suddenly be living like a poor person after her family became bankrupt. She was initially very hard for her, she did know it will be this hard. The motel she was staying at was a total nightmare, well a nightmare for herfor the reason of her upbringing and previous lifestyle. The motel was by the streets and was very noisy even in night because cars make use of that road a lot. 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
After the emotional story telling by Alexander, the couple stayed in the balcony cuddling and listening to each others breathing. They used that time to reflecting on their own lives and how they can be great parent to their kids. Staring at the city ahead something clicked in Alice mind and she turned sharply in Alexander’s arms to face him with a bewildered expression.“What is it babe? You are looking at me strangely. What is going on in that pretty head of yours?”, Alexander asked Alice in a tough voice with his voice is still scratchy and hoarse from all that crying.“Are you so over protective of Alexia even when the guys come over, well I will say you are more protective of her when the guys are around. You even suggested the installation a hidden camera in their rooms. Are you scared of their safety when the guys are around?”, Alice questioned him in a small and uneven voice whilst turning to face him squarely. Alexander cleared his throat and turned to look at every where but
Alexander couldn’t move his limbs after the black Benz crashed into the passenger’s seat of Alice rose pink lamborghini aventador. He was frozen in his spot with his mouth gaping as he witnessed the horrific accident. He felt his heart stop beating, his mind was shut and his pulse running wild like a beast. He tried to make sounds but his lips were seemingly just moving but no sounds was heard. His limbs felt so heavy for him to move and hands stretched out desperately to reach out to his wife but his search came out empty. He couldn’t even feel his legs, he stood completely appalled and his breathe became heavy. He could only watch as Alice screamed in horror before her car got crashed resulting in her car somersaulting. The car continuously somersaulted until it was left upside down on the drivers side. The driver of the Benz reversed his car professionally in high speed, he drove pass the aghast looking Alexander.Alexander fingers automatically balled in a hard fist when he saw th
Alexander’s mind was blank as he stared at Alice motionlessly on the stretcher in the ambulance. Her face was still as beautiful as ever but her eyes were shut together hiding her beautiful eyes and her face full of bruises.Whilst in the car, Jake knew they will need all the support they could get hence he took the phone and called the guys in a conference call. He called all of their friends and waited till they all picked before connecting them in a conference call. “Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring…..”“Hello Jakey”, Richard answered the call in a bored voice, he was seated casually on a movie set for his upcoming movie before the call came in. Jake didn’t bother giving him a reply. He went right ahead to call the next person on the call Saul. “Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring…..”“Hello”, Philip who was in a meeting picked up the call in a agitated voice. The bargaining of the new contracts was going wrong and he was in no mood to play. Another Jake ignored him, placed him on hold
They were all outside with the hospital with Alexander pacing up and down the corridor with a heavy heart. All the other guys arrived to show their support to Alexander, they sat quietly on the bench provided. They all saw his appearance but none of them commented on it, his appearance gave them a fair idea of how bad the accident was. They showed their support to him emotional, they all surrounding him in the waiting room just in front of the theater.They were currently seated but were all quiet in their own thoughts. It was late into the night and Alice had been in the theater for hours without a word from the numerous doctors and nurses that dashed in and out of the theater repeatedly. They were all staring at Alexander sadly, he hasn’t sat down nor uttered a word since they got to the hallway. All lost in their respective thoughts, Jake’s phone rang in the quiet hallway, startling all of them with the exception of Alexander because had shut himself out of the happenings around him
The church was decorated beautifully and well wishers sitting pretty in each role. The theme colors of the said wedding seems to be rose and gold, a perfect combination for such a warm weather and a beautiful occasion. A man of God dressed in all write was seen standing at the alter with a speaker in his had as he spoke to the crowd in high spirit.“Dearly beloved, We are gathered together here to unite (bride & groom) in marriage. This contract and commitment is not to be entered into lightly, but with thoughtfully and seriousness with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. Please remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home……”, he started his sermon with those beautiful words that captured the heart of everyone in the church.The sermon continued and every heart was rejoice at the priest’s sermons and his wordings. He was giving out advises, sincere and unbiased advises so most of them didn’t want the sermon to c
Diane didn’t want to leave the grave yard, she didn’t want to leave her baby alone there and leave. She felt doing that meant abandoning her in that lonely place, she sat comfortably on the green grass beside Charlotte’s grave and refused to get up from there. 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. It was an emotional rollercoaster for everyone present at the grave yard especially when Diane lay down on Charlotte’s grave in the rain, talking and whispering sweet nothings to her through the grave. The workers were in the rain waiting for her to leave so they can start with leveling the floor and start with the grave moulding
The news, the sad news of the murder of the small girl broke everyone in the entire country. The news of the little stranger didn’t only break their heart but the pain of her demise cut them deep in their hearts and they all cried out in pain of her untimely death. Getting to know of how she dead through a blunt force trauma to the head at the hands of her father was the most heartbreaking news reported.Alexander didn’t even know how the call with Jane ended that day nor did he realize he was crying until Alice shirt was drenched in his tears and his was drenched in her tears. Everyone present shed tears uncontrollably and Lilly literally broke down and haven’t been the same since that day. According to Jane’s source and a recording she sent to him over the phone that day, Robert Pint confined in a lady and was confessing to her in what seems to be a phone call. His voice could be heard to be hoarse and was obviously hyperventilating over the phone. He kept repeating,”I killed her!
Seeing their curiosity and anxiety, Alexander decided to put the call on speaker so everyone can hear what was going on with the call.“Hello? Alexander? You good? 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. What it is?”, she asked him curiously whilst cooing at the little baby in her arms. “We need your help”. Alexander stated with a hard look on his face as his mind wandered back to the issue of little Charlotte.Jane paused he
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. Everyone in the room suddenly un
Romeo closed his eyes tightly and cussed out loud,”fuck it! I don’t want a word of any information I will be giving here, I don’t want it to leave this room. 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. He took a deep breathe and just hoped from the button of his heart that he was about to do the right thin
