Alexander woke up to an empty bed the next day, the only evidence he shared a bed with Alice was the messy bed sheet from where she slept the previous night. Last night, he lay down in bed at the side of his bed deep in thought. He turned to look at her severally and made an attempt to talk to her or even reach out to her dozens of times but give up as quickly as the idea presented itself. He never got to propose to her like he planned and he never got to see that happiness he was craving from her. That night they slept away from each other, their backs facing each other with heavy hearts. He stayed in bed for some few minutes to await her arrival but she was still a no show after about thirty minutes of wait. His heart panicked and he felt chills all over his body when he remembered that he didn’t given her some vital informations of Ken Li. This wasn’t Ken Li’s first attempt at making an escape from his prison cells but only knew of this because he succeeded. He tried it several tim

Alexander was pacing around the room with his left hand having grasp at the phone tightly and his right hand grabbing his hair in a tight fist, he was beyond frustrated.“Fuck it! She’s not fucking picking up the call! I told her not to go anything stupid! She can’t live with it pops! She can’t live with the fact that she took a human life in her anger! No matter how bad and evil the person is, Alice can never live with herself if she stains her hands with his blood! She’s too good for all that bullshits!”, Alexander bawled angrily. His hands were trembling and his heart in great distress.William wiped his sweaty forehead with the back of his hands.“Mmm-calm down! Calm down Alexander! Over thinking doesn’t solve anything. If anything, it just gives you-you headaches for-things-things beyond your control.” William stuttered with this fingers in his mouth. Alexander took a look at his motivator and scoffed. Everyone that knew William Johnson well, knew of his nail biting tendency whene

Alexander sighed in relief,” babe? Please wait for us. We will be with you in a few minutes. Okay?”, he muttered softly.“Okay”, she answered. Alexander relaxed into the chair with voice choke on emotions and eyes willed up. He realized how close he was to losing her again and his facade broke.“Ally?”, he called out to her softly, his voice hoarse.“Yeah?”, she replied with a sniff. She could hear the emotions behind the way he called her name.“I love you, if something happens to you again, I don’t think my heart will survive it.” He voiced out in a hoarse voice as tears came down freely with the heavy burden of the emotions that let them free.After hanging up the call, Alice didn’t know she was wailing until a sob choked her so hard, her heart heart felt it was on fire. She didn’t know what came over her and how she acted so naively. If she didn’t go against herself and her better management to pick Alexander’s call, she knew for sure that she would have surely walked into that tr

William walked into the scene with a welcoming smile. He was still in his joggers hence making him appear as if he was just going for a jog or just back from one. He went towards the direction where a police officer appeared to be in his car loading his gun with a concentrated look. He approached him like a noisy old man.“Hello officer? What a beautiful sunny day it is right? What’s going on here? It seems quite mmm strange to have this number of police officers in our peaceful neighborhood. Such a sight doesn’t usually happen in our lovely neighborhood.” He stated.The police officer stared at him strangely with a scrutinizing glance for a while before answering him. After his assessment of the beaming man in front of him, he thought of him as a harmless but nosey old man so against his better judgement he decided to satisfy his curiosity.“Oh this?! This is just the police coming to check on an anonymous tip we got earlier that a well known criminal was being held here against his w

And just like that, William stated his vomiting all over again at the imagination of such a gruesome scene.“Damn! That’s wicked!”, exclaimed Pele in surprise. “Fuck! What did he ever do to deserve such a horrible end? This seems a little too harsh a treatment for him, no matter his crimes in the past.”Jonas stated with a disapproved glance.“Oh there’s more!”, howled Joshua. The rest turned their attention to him once again and like before, William vomiting seized for him to hear that piece of information.“Everything seems like this was a crime of passion!”, Joshua voiced out.“You mean?”, William asked anxiously to confirm what he had in mind. Joshua turned to him before answering.“It seems like this crime was committed by a woman. The murderer is a woman!”, Joshua exclaimed loudly. William gasped dramatically,”what?! Wo-wo-wo-woman? A passion crime? That’s insane!”, he stated.“Yes! That’s fucking insane! For a woman to be this heartless and stab him that number of times, she mu

Alice stood awkwardly beside the emotional scene with her thoughts running wild. She didn’t know what to make of the situation at hand. They had initially been watching scenes of William and the police unfold from afar and they also saw the bloody mess the police carried into the ambulance wrapped in a white but slightly bloody linen.They couldn’t tell who it was that the gloved police men carried into the car from the distance they were hiding from but from the look on William’s face when he was with police men earlier, he knew the person. They also witnessed how he vomited episodes earlier from their hiding spot behind the car and observing how he was behaving now from the news, it was evident he knew who the person was personally and it was having a toll on him.Slowly, William’s cries became quieter and only a few whimper was heard from time to time whilst he was still in Alexander’s arms in a hug.“He w-as was killed”, he muttered a stuttering sentence after the silence between t

Alexander wasn’t in a good mood in the call, displeasure was clearly written on his face. “Bunch of traitors! Huff! Just listen to how he was talking to me as if he felt he had some special access to you! To my wife! Scoff!”, he verbalized with great displeasure.Alice turned to him with a raised eye brow in amazement. She was finding his entire reaction funny and priceless.“You do realize that he does have a special access to her right?”, William asked with a smirk.“Scoff! As what?”, Alexander inquired with a hard look. He was officially in a terrible mood.“Well for starters, Carlos so happens to be my twin brother. Hope you haven’t forgotten that I do have a twin brother and he is also your in-law.” Alice uttered with a fond smile.Alexander scoffed at the piece of reminder, maybe he has forgotten all about that little detail or maybe he just didn’t care. To him, no one has a special access to his wife aside him.“I don’t care! He should go and look for his own wife. How is Phili

The series of response rang in the car once again. William cleared his throat before responding once again.“I won’t drag this issues any longer than necessary. A lot of time is already wasted. I hope you are all aware of Ken Li’s disappearance from jail days ago.” He inquired.“Yes I heard it a few hours ago,” Philip stated.“I’m aware”, Carlos simply answered.“I have knowledge of it”, Jake answered.“I heard it at the airport when Jake and I were leaving the airport. I heard he’s on the list of the most wanted criminal and almost all the forces are at the look out for him.” Richard voiced out cautiously.“Good! It’s nice you all have ideas about his disappearance. But what you don’t know is that he was found dead by the police some minutes ago and by all indications, he has been dead for some time now. He was killed gruesomely and the police saying it is a crime of passion. But there’s more; all this is frame someone for his murder.” He paused and waited for their reaction. Alice an

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.

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.

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”.

Until she met him 243. Richard’s Interest
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
