Alice and Lilly sat down on the kitchen stool as they chatting excitedly,” Noooooo! You didn’t! Lilly tell me you didn’t! That’s so naughty! How can you bite her ass because she was sitting on your face with her butt! You can’t just go around biting people in the butt! Who does that!”, Alice muttered with a loud laughter.Lilly only shrug her shoulders carelessly, “well there was nothing I could have done in that situation. Those brats had me pinned on the floor while she kept on making a mockery of me by putting her dirty ass on my face. I took the bait when it was offered to me on a platter of gold. My hands and legs were both restrained by her other gang members so I could only make use my head in my defense and I used it very well if I can say so for myself.” Lilly stated with a smirk making Alice burst out laughing again. She was expecting a hilarious story about her encounter with the Isabella girl but she didn’t know it was this hilarious.“Frankly speaking, I would have you jai

William was looking at the back of Alice as she walked way fondly until she disappeared into the hallway. She was the daughter and granddaughter he and Lilly never had and the fact that the feelings were mutual from both their side and hers made it amazing. They loved her dearly as if she was truly theirs. They adored her and transferred that same love to their kids. They even prefer to take care of the kids than their nanny because they don’t truly trust their so called nannies.Alice was so lost in her thoughts to pay any attention to her surroundings. She walked up the stairs anxiously but with a heavy heart because she was preparing her mind for the worst. As she was getting to closer and closer to the door of Alexia, her heart grew heavier and her facial expression turned into panic. Her heart was pounding furiously against her chest and she felt shivers all over her body.“Oh damn it! Damn it Alice! It’s just a fucking talk! Why are you behaving like you just heard the news of he
Until she met him 202. The Talk
Alice nodded her head in understanding, feelings are involved and such cases are the trickiest to talk about. But once you get the courage to talk about, you get emotionally liberated.“Can I ask you a question if that’s okay?”, Alice inquired of the emotionally imbalanced teenager in front of her.“Yes?”, Alexia replied unsurely.Alice smiled and nodded,”who is Sam Pint to you?”, Alice asked the flushed girl in front of her. Alexia opened her mouth and closed it severally in an attempt to answer the question but seems lost of words because she truly didn’t know how to describe her relationship with him.“Do you want me to repeat the question? Is the question confusing or it’s your feelings that isn’t clear?”, Alice asked Alexia once again with a knowing look.“I-I-I don’t know mum. I don’t know how I’m feeling, I mean I don’t understand anything! My feelings are all over the place and I-I-I feel so self conscious all the time this days. My heart pounds heard and sometimes I feel my he

He gave her a puzzled stare with his eyes on her every movement. He saw the fright spreading through her eyes and the goose bumps scattered all over her body. He saw all those reactions from her even without him saying anything to her. Alice turned to see one of their helps by the name, Amira pass in front of her eyes while looking at them with a shy look. Alice frown slightly at the way Amira was looking at them, that shy look almost resembled the look of guilt but she brushed it off when she remembered Alexander’s presence in front of her.“What’s wrong?”, Alice asked him when they came out of their daze state and realized that Alexia wasn’t also around them anymore. “Nothing? Nothing is wrong. Why would you ask such a question? Do I look like something is wrong? Huff! Nothing is wrong babe“, Alexander answered with a stiff smile on his tired looking face making Alice roll her eyes at the obvious lie. Telling that lie made him look like a child who was caught red handed with his han

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.

“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
