Knowing how petty Alice was when she was angry, it won’t surprise him if she’s really keeping her distance from him to pay him back in his own coins.Funny enough, it seems like he can’t take what he dished out himself. He took his phone severally to call her but couldn’t, he always drops the phone.Feeling restless, he couldn’t sit still on the couch without fidgeting so instead he got up on his foot and began pacing around in the room.“Ring!

He jumped up in fright and took his phone out of his poc

That morning was a fascinating one in the house of the Johnsons. Grandma and grandpa spent the night over at their mansion and the kids couldn’t be happier. They all wake up early in the morning and rushed straight to their rooms to have some play time with them.Alice and Alexander were still sound asleep cuddled in each other arms when the kids burst into the room high on sugar.“Mummy! Mummy!! Mummy!!! Mummy!”, Junior exclaimed in a loud voice when they made an appearance to their parents room without knocking.“Daddy! Daddy!! Daddy!!! Daddy!

Finally it was time for the kids to go to the beach. Alexander wasn’t in the mood for such outings but he had already promised the kids and they were in high spirits for their first official visits to the beach.

Daddy! Daddy! Junior won’t give me back my tablet!”, she exclaimed angrily while looking at her father through the mirror.“Oh come on Ale!

They got to the public beach but a look at how everyone was scattered around was enough to make the family feel unsafe and uncomfortable. With a little discussion amongst themselves, they make their way to the private beach just miles away. Alexander drove the family to the private beach through a dense atmosphere but with his hands and Alice’s intertwined, he doesn’t have much to worry about.He parked his car securely at the parking space and got out with a stretch as he took in his new environment. He kept looking around till he saw the familiar grey haired couples arguing by the entrance.He crackled softly and shook his head in amazement, those two don’t seem to function with each other and can’t function with each other.

He felt his heart drop in his chest when he looked at the girl who lifted up her head to his face in front of him. She looked a bit older than Alexia at a glance and had the same Johnson’s eyes but not the hair. If he was being truthful, he will dare say she looks a little like his grandmother, Lilly.“Sorry Mr. J, I haven’t visited your house before because I’ve not been able to get the permission from my parents. I promise to visit you soon.” She spoke softly making Alexander terrible within. The strange feeling he had about the girl increase considerably after he saw her for himself.“What’s your name?”, he questioned her.“Oh? My nam

He saw how anxious she was and how she was looking over her shoulders until she meet up with the girl he met her sitting with earlier. Just like the teenagers said, they do look alike except their height differences and the difference in their hair color. They could easily pass as a twins, but that didn’t worry him as much as the fact that he knew nothing about the girl in question. He watched them with a tight fist as they made their way to a white jeep parked a few steps from the hiding spot of the girl. He took notice of the car plate and thanked his stars that he made the wise decision of providing the beach house with secret cameras years ago after an incident of a murder occurr

He turned to see various expression on the faces of those present as well and it wasn’t pleasant.He went behind his mother immediately to hid his face, he didn’t like the look his father and uncles was sending him either.

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.

“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. He took a deep breathe and just hoped from the button of his heart that he was about to do the right thin
