Mira died in a weird and terrible manner, alliance were formed, secrets revealed and more secrets are set to be revealed later in the future. His mind was filled with a certain amount of grief and some form of distress. He doesn’t know how to tell Jane all that had transpired earlier in the interrogation room. 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?! I wonder the kind of trauma that girl went through to be this heartless and wicked”, he muttered to himself in the silence of the car with

Later on the severity of the issue and the reality at hand drawn on him. Alexander and Alice was in awe at the scene that just unfolded before them. They turned to each other in panic before facing the source of their panic.“What-what just happened?”, Alice asked with a face full of worry. “Well, It seems as if Grandma collapsed again as per her habit from past incidence. It seems when ever she hears a shocking information, she pass out dramatically.” Alexander muttered with an eye roll.Alice sighed deeply with a frown,” why does she always turn to collapse when she hears any shocking news? This has gone on for so long, Do you think there’s something wrong with her? Should we take her to see Doctor William?”, she asked anxiously whilst she eyes Lilly who was on the couch unconscious and mouth ga

Watching the phone ring repeatedly was making Alexander swallow lumps of saliva in his throat per second. He turned to look at Alice then to Lilly in disbelief before giving them looks of helplessness.“Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!Ring!”“Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!Ring!”“Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!Ring!”“Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!Ring!”“Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!Ring!”He stood up from his seat and stretched his neck to peep at the caller once again,instantly his frown deepened when he realized it was the same caller that he had been avoiding for some time now. “She’s still calling?”, Alice asked sadly with a deep sigh. Her heart breaks for her.“Why won’t you just pick up the call and tell her all you know? The phone has been ringing for quite a long time now. I’m sure she has probably heard other things from the media sources and wanted to speak with the one source she trust the

It was on the front page of a lot of news papers within minutes and was constantly going to be on news paper stands for days to come. It was already the trending news on social media in different countries within an hour of the news making it way on social media. It also didn’t help matters that the media in her new country had started harassing Jane every turn of the way immediately the news hit them. Her picture and that of Mira was pasted on the front pages of a lot of blogs reporting the news, her location and where she worked was probably ratted out by someone who knew her in the neighborhood. She didn’t initially understand what was going on until Leonardo showed her what he stumbled upon on social medi

Jane looked at Leonardo with a frown,”A mistress? It isn’t surprising. My dad-Ken Li had a lot of mistresses that I’ve even lost count of them. Which one is it this time? Linda? Yvonne? Manda? Or it is the mysterious A?”, Jane stated in a hard voice.“Mysterious A?”, Alexander asked curiously.“Oh yes! I knew he’s been having an affair with a young woman for years now but kept her hidden. His affairs were never hidden but he kept her in particular hidden all this years and no one in our circle know her. We all know her by “A” because that’s how he refers to her all those years without giving away her identity.” Jane replied him angrily because she felt he was distracting her.“I see, it makes sense then. I doubt you know the identity of his mistress but I can guarantee you that you know her very well. In fact you know her personally.” Alexander muttered sadly whilst squeezing his face in disgust.“Who is she?”, Jane asked firmly with her fingers fisted in a tight ball.“Amira Li, your

When they heard the door shut softly behind them, after overcoming their initial shock, they turned slowly to see the person at the door. “Hi everyone!”, the stranger exclaimed in an oddly happy tone but his facial expression was anything but happy. He was a stranger to Jake, Carlos, Philip and even Richard but by all means wasn’t a stranger to the others in the room.The new comer stood frozen at the door without knowing his next action, his expression awkward because of several pair of eyes eying his movements. Jake and Carlos shared a strange look with Richard and Philip before moving into action.Carlos stood in front of his sister protectively as Jake, Richard and Philip sized up the muscular new comer. Alexander frowned when he saw how his best friends were suddenly behaving in the presence of his new friend before it occurred to him that they don’t know him and he happens to be a stranger to them. Alexander chuckled loudly and shook his head repeatedly in amazement.He pushed t

“Fuck!”, exclaimed Philip in shock. He never knew that innocent looking girl could be capable of such wickedness and terror.“Shit! That’s messed up!”, shouted Carlos as he shuddered.“Damn! So she killed Ken, her lover so gruesomely? That’s wicked!”, Jake cried out. Romeo cleared his throat loudly to get their attention.“Mmm about that, the new evidence gathered shows that the body we retrieved in that freezer wasn’t Ken Li but a homeless beggar that went missing around the same time the alleged body was found.” Romeo voiced out nervously with his face flushed in humiliation. The humiliation he was feeling wasn’t just for himself but his entire police department as well. They allowed themselves to be tricked by that evil man and his young mistress and almost ended up destroying the entire case. Strangely enough, their police commissioner isn’t in a rush to come out immediately and declare that the body found wasn’t Ken Li’s. He wasn’t in a rush to make the public announcement about t

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.

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”.

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
