She digested a very poisonous substance. I’ve seen this before, I seen this years ago during my time as a student. It happened in a brothel in M country.” He verbalized with certainty.

Romeo and Alexander instantly relaxed their expression and shared a look.

“A brothel you said? Which brothel?”, Romeo asked curiously.

“Oh! Oh! Oh! I can’t remember the name but it was shut down some years back and it belonged to that wicked business man that was killed some days back.” Eric started with a nod of his head.

Alexander panicked, his heart rate quickened and he found himself sweating profusely. His mind was telling him something but he was praying in his heart for it to be false.

“Which man? Who is the man you speak of?”, Rose was the one who asked the question. Curiosity was written all over her face.

Romeo? is your surname not Huss? Do you know this Daniel Huss by any chance?”, Alexander questioned him but Romeo just sat quietly without saying a word nor was he moving.

He sighed and breathed out shakily.“How the fuck do I tell her that her father’s mistress who is her cousin killed both her mother and father? How the heck! To think I thought the Li family in the past was a mess, their future mistakes makes their past mistakes look like a child’s play. What a dysfunctional family the Li family is and it looks like they pass those terrible traits to generations after them. Huff! What a family?!

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.

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.

    “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.

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.
