I know when and where am not wanted and I can swear with my life that you three have something very important to discuss. Excuse me!”, Lilly uttered through her gritted teeth an angry expression. She walked past them and made her way up the stairs.They all stared at each other in panic, too dumbfounded to say a word or react.“No stop grandma!”, Alice stopped her before she took any step further.

Indeed, the kids speak the truth and they were now more than two hours late from the time they usually get home.William cleared his throat dramatically, “what happened? What caused the said traffic?”, he asked curiously.“Oh! An accident occurred at the intersection. I heard a police inspector was the one involved in the said accident. I overheard some of the police officers talk about him and about his corrupt he was.” Junior stated with a careless shrug of his shoulders. The adults felt their heart drop and they panicked internally.“In-inspector? Inspector you said? Did-did-did you happen to overhear his name?”, Lilly questioned him with a frightening look. She was scared of the answer he will give to her question.“Are you okay Grandma? You look scared!”, Aurora muttered, Lilly just smiled awkwardly and turned to Junior for his response.

Lilly looked around in confusion, she wasn’t getting the understanding of what was stated. “I-I-I still don’t understand!”, Lilly exclaimed in denial. She can accept that the Amira that worked for them was a traitor that betrayed them but to believe she’s a Li? That was something else she wasn’t ready to believe anytime soon.“Darling? What he is trying to say is that, the Amira we use to know, that quiet and sweet girl that betrayed us and left the house days ago is a Li and was sent to be amongst us for only God knows what. She’s the Li planted amongst us the Johnsons!” William stated through his gritted teeth. He was fuming and he was fuming hard. The conspiracy was deeper and well planned than he had thought. He looked around him in anguish and was met with dumbfounded expression from the others.

Romeo smiled softly and nodded his head, he knew they were all saying the truth because of the sincerity in their voices when they open up to him. He couldn’t get to where he was now if he wasn’t read people well.“Okay, let’s talk about Mira Li. Who is Mira Li?”, he questioned them with a concentrated face once again. From the direction of the money used to bribe John Carter, it was evident that the Li family was involved hence it necessary to look into the ones closest to the Johnsons and had close interactions with them in the past.“She’s the devil”, a calm voice stated with a hoarse voice. They all turned their heads awkwardly to the person who made that comment. It was a surprise when they came into contact with the stoic face of Alexander. He was facing the wall but everyone heard his voice loud and clear. The surprise and confusion that followed what he said became deadened.“Alexander?”, Alice called out to him softly. She doesn’t know the story about what he just stated eithe

Alexander paused for a bit to recollect what he had in mind. The memories kept flooding his mind like a natural disaster. He closed his eyes tightly as the memories became overpowering and the feeling overwhelming.“I grew up with George and Jane Li and during those days, Jane always talks about her favorite cousin called Amira but frequently calls her Mira just like their mother. She was a two years younger than Jane then but Jane won’t shut up about her. This Amira often came visiting too when school was on vacation. Then, I remember her as a shy nerdy girl who always wore glasses and can’t say a word to me without blushing. The last memory I have of her was when she had a fight with Jane over a supposed love letter she wrote me. I never got to see that letter and both girls settled that disagreement a long time ago. I-I have not been keeping tabs on the Li family for so long, I can’t talk about the current state of Jane’s relationship with her now nor where the Amira girl is right n

Alexander felt like he couldn’t breathe and the hyperventilation started within seconds.He pushed his chair back a bit and got up from his seat with urgency. He undid a button of his shirt and took a deep breathe. The informations he was getting from Mira was contrary to their initial belief, their theory was wrong. If what she was saying has an ounce of truth in it then the real killer and schemer is still out there and plotting more evil against them.“What the heck do you mean by you didn’t fucking kill him? Then who the fuck did huh?! Who kill him? The scene of the crime was gruesome, so fucking gruesome!

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. 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. 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.
