“ Willy dear, do you think it’s time we let them on the little secret we’ve been keeping to ourselves for years?”, Lilly whispered into the ears of William who was sitting just beside her. She took a quick survey at the troubled expression on the faces of each and everyone in the room and came to the conclusion that it wasn’t a good idea to let them on their long kept secret.

William Johnson closed his eyes in pain,” don’t you think it will kill Alexander to find out the truth especially in this critical time?

Knock! Knock! Knock!! Knock!….”“A knock? Did Jake forget something in here that he’s coming for it? He knows the code to the room right? Or? He used it to enter the room a while ago when he visited. Did he suddenly get amnesia and forgot the code to the door?,” He questioned himself, sitting up on the bed staring confusedly at the door.“Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!! Knock!”“Knock! Knock! Knock!

    Frozen to his bone, Alexander didn’t know how to react. His mind was blank and his eyes blinking rapidly. He wanted to say something, anything but his mind couldn’t comprehend what was going on. His mind was blank, his heart nor body hence couldn’t make up any sentence in that moment. His mouth opened and shut severally in his failed attempts to talk or even make a sound but he couldn’t. “Mm-mmm-mmm I-I-I-l..” He stuttered uncertainty, puzzled by what was happening in front of him. Then it clicked in his mind like a light bulb in the mist of darkness.“ I might be hallucinating again like all the previous times, right? There’s-there’s no way what I think I am seeing is finally happening at this particular moment.” He muttered to himself to convince himself that was just seeing things and that Alice is not on the bed, fully awake with her eyes piercing into his soul.He closed his eyes tightly for a long while then reopened them but strangely the hallucination he was currently experien

    Alice was deep in thought, her imagination wild about the information she had just heard from William and for a long time she was overwhelmed with everything as her emotions became wise. With all she was feeling, the feeling of motherhood surpassed them all. Alexander stopped chasing William around and stood by the door glaring hard at William whilst panting loudly.“You! You! You! you fucking idiot! Why did you have to do that huh?! I-I-wanted to be the one to tell her everything by myself not for her to hear it from some fucking stranger! I almost told her till you barged into the room with your big head!”, Alexander screamed angrily at him with his index finger pointing at William in accusation.

    Alice waited for sometime for his reply before eventually turning to look at the trouble looking Alexander, she raised her eyebrows in confusion at his troubled expression. It was a strange expression to be seen on the face of Alexander because he mastered his expressions at a young age and hardly showed any emotion at all. “Anything the problem? You look troubled, as if something is bothering you or you are finding it difficult to say something. Mm is it about the question I just asked? Will the identity of those people cause any inconvenience to me?”, she questioned clearly more interested in knowing the identity of the people behind the voices she heard outside a while ago.“Forget them, they are no body and therefore there’s no no need to even talk about them.” He responded with a tone a bit over the edge making Alice more puzzled about the people to get him in such a bad mood.“They must have done something very personal or bad to you to be this mad or angry at them.

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.

    “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.

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.
