She was feeling rather confuse and hopeless about all what was happening around her because Alexander wasn’t telling her anything. She could feel something wasn’t right with him, his energy wasn’t the same as it was a few hours ago and it was killing her that he was keeping things from her because of her health condition.Alexander walked into the room with a bright smile, he knows very well that Alice can feel something was off with him and all the calls he was making was the deal breaker for them but he can’t risk her knowing everything.

She paid little to no attention to her environment nor what was showing any interest in what was showing on the television. The door cracked open slightly bringing her out of her depressed state. She was able to hear the door open softly as if it an intruder was coming inside the room and the person doesn’t want to be seen or heard.Instantly, she became aware of her surroundings but also felt helpless within herself. There was not much she can do to help herself in her current state and that made her more depressed within herself.She raised herself up a bit, directing her glance to the entrance leading to her room with every thought in her mind to scream her lungs out if necessary.Footsteps was heard approaching the entrance of the room slowly until it stopped at the said door and a man well dressed in designer suit made his majestic presence known by posing

He was jubilating on their way to the Johnson’s mansion to carry out his carefully thought out plan.“Boss this time, you’ve really trapped the Johnsons this time and there’s nothing they can do about. Hahaha they are so clueless about what is going on around them.” One of his men riding with him in the big van showered him with praises making him laugh out loud. He brought out his cigar out of his lips to take a smoke of it and turned his face to the window. “It’s a good thing you planned that accident of Alexander’s wife ahead of time, he won’t have been this vulnerable and uncaring for us to penetrate his forte so easily.” Duke the driver said his piece with a nod of his from his driving wheel.

It was a cold night outside, with insects and other living things coming out to play. Fireflies were flying around with their bioluminescence lighting up where ever they fly to. The trees were hustling their leaves to keep the air cool. The entire atmosphere was chilled and welcoming but not the people coming out of the van with menacing expressions, they didn’t come out to play nor to enjoy the beauty of the house. What they were there for was to fight, they are there for war.“Now let’s all remember the plan, let’s be careful with how we handle the twins. Don’t forget they are very precious to the plan.” Bismarck warned them ahead of opening the door for them to enter.“Yes they are very precious”, Ken Li replied with a smirk, his expression had a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Ken Li blew hot air from his mouth and his heart racing furiously against his chest. “Are you fucking deaf Adam?, I asked you a damn question. Why is it taking you so long to fucking answer me? Are you the one selling me out to my enemies? Are you the fucking mole in my team?”, Ken Li exclaimed in anger.His blood was boiling, he can’t believe his plans have been ruined once again. The plan he made this time was well detailed and he even had to trade his wife for the money to fund the plan in hope of getting the entire Johnson fortune. He thought that he’d be getting himself and his company out of bankruptcy and the problems it was facing currently.“But boss-boss- boss how can I betray you? How can I possibly betray you? For what?

I can never betray you boss, I can never bite the hands that feeds me”, Adam verbalized in panic, least his life ends before his very eyes.Bismarck scoffed loudly attracting the attention of the c

Alice eyes welled up with tears with the intense joy she was feeling.“I’m fine pumpkin and I miss you more than words can describe. How are you doing?,” she replied with a feathering kiss on his nose making him grin happily before going in for another hug.

I’ve missed you so much!”, he rushed forward to him and jumped on him. Carlos sighed softly while holding the heavy boy up.“Hey kiddo, I miss you too!

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.

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.

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.

“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.

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.
