Until she met him 217. The Li Amongst The Johnsons
The rest of the week became an anxious and nervous week for mostly the adults in the Johnsons mansion. They were always fidgeting and looking over their shoulders for what they don’t even know. It didn’t help matters that a mysterious anonymous number keeps sending them parts of the recordings that was allegedly supposed to be in the possession of the late John Carter.Days went by very fast and soon the death of inspector John Carter became a thing of the past. The police and other forces were going wild with the investigations and was duly updating the public as they worked. So far, it was known that John Carter was corrupt as the other police officers stated earlier, an unexplainable huge sum of money was found in his account after his death. The money was wired into his personal account by a anonymous person which was traced back into Ken Li’s money laundering account. Suspicions were raised because that account was emptied by the federal government when he was arrested years ago f

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. Silence was never supposed to be loud but this particular silence that followed the explanation William gave was deafening. “This is outrageous! This isn’t funny anymore! What if she was

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

The few days Inspector Romeo Huss promised came and went and a lot more days followed those days but they still got no updates from him like he promised. The adults in the Johnson mansion were living anxiously and the curiosity for not knowing what was truly going on and it was killing them especially since it was confirmed in the media that the police indeed had Mira in custody days ago. The day Romeo came for the questioning was the day they saved themselves from the mess plotted against them. The schemer didn’t foresee them cooperating and opening up to the new inspector because of how bad John Carter messed them up the first time. After his interview they pretended as if they didn’t give him much to work with and he also behaved the same way hence the schemer won’t know about the new developments in the case. Only the commissioner of police and people directly involved with investigating the case lead by Romeo Huss because of his honesty knew had knowledge of the improvement in the

The silence in the room was too deafening, the atmosphere too tense and the air too suffocating. 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! It had to be ruled as a crime of passion meaning in popular usage, it refers to a violent crime, especially homicide, in which the perpetrator commits the act against someone because of sudden strong impulse such as anger in relation to love. Who else has such a strong sense of anger
Until she met him 223. The Reasons Why
Alexander was speechless and sat quietly for sometime to recover his thoughts. His mind was a mess and he wouldn’t understand what at all was wrong with the Li family, they seems to be one lowly family with little to no morals at all. “She loves him?”, Alexander questioned softly, at least that will justify the foolishness she endured all this years. He couldn’t wrap his head around the emotional and psychological damage done to that girl at some point when he thought about everything from another perspective. He knew, she might seen fine and happy with Ken Li but deep down, she must be feeling lost. He knew that feeling too well from the little experience he had in his childhood with another member of the same Li family hence he couldn’t imagine her state of mind after all those years of enduring such an abuse from Ken Li, her very own uncle.“Yes she loved him at some point of their erhmm relationship but was also obsessed with you, another reason why Ken Li hated you as much as he
Until she met him 224. The Poison
At least her fate had been decided but if she could make up for all her wrong doings in her lifetime by this singular good act, then she was ready to let out every secret in her procession.“How? How do you know all this?”, he asked her curiously. Everything he was hearing was too detailed to be just a coincidence. The details of how she was with the kids were too detailed and on point hence he believed there’s was more to everything than she’s letting go.“Because I met her, I met Amira in person”, Mira voiced out those words with little to no conscience at all. Alexander frowned increased tremendously, “you’ve met Amira? The same Amira Li? You’ve met Amira in person? That’s what you just said right? How? When? Where? When did you meet her in person as you claimed?”, he questioned her with a disturbing look on his face. He was beyond confuse at everything at this stage.“Oh? I didn’t mention it earlier? Then it totally escaped my mind.” She stated carelessly. Alexander gave her a disb

Diane didn’t want to leave the grave yard, she didn’t want to leave her baby alone there and leave. She felt doing that meant abandoning her in that lonely place, she sat comfortably on the green grass beside Charlotte’s grave and refused to get up from there. The cemetery was empty apart from the four of them, Romeo couldn’t leave Diane either and Alexander and Alice couldn’t afford to leave them alone there. 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. It was an emotional rollercoaster for everyone present at the grave yard especially when Diane lay down on Charlotte’s grave in the rain, talking and whispering sweet nothings to her through the grave.

Getting to know of how she dead through a blunt force trauma to the head at the hands of her father was the most heartbreaking news reported.Alexander didn’t even know how the call with Jane ended that day nor did he realize he was crying until Alice shirt was drenched in his tears and his was drenched in her tears. Everyone present shed tears uncontrollably and Lilly literally broke down and haven’t been the same since that day. 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. His voice could be heard to be hoarse and was obviously hyperventilating over the phone. He kept repeating,”I killed her!

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”. Alexander stated with a hard look on his face as his mind wandered back to the issue of little Charlotte.Jane paused he
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
