They watched her take the phone from her bag and sighed deeply with an attempt to answer the call but before she could pick the call, the phone slip through her hand and fell on the ground. When the phone fell, it was facing upwards with the screen of the phone proudly displaying the picture and number of the caller.All three of them stared at the screen with different expressions and emotions. Assistant Jake face held an expression of an extreme shock, Alexander Johnson face held anger but one can also say his expression was blank.On the shining screen was the caller’s name clearly displayed as Amor De Mi Vida which translates as the Love of my life in Spanish. The picture displayed on the screen was a picture of two very cute and lovingly looking kids with wide and dimpled smile. They were cuddled in a lounge chair with Alice Jet who also appeared to have a smile as big and sweet as the children in the picture.It won’t take anyone looking at that picture more than five minutes to

Assistant Jake dropped the bomb and covered his mouth with his hand whilst Alex stood rooted on the ground. He thought the boy looked familiar to him but he didn’t know he was that familiar. “What?…..”“Assistant Jake, what do you mean by the boy looks like me…..”, Alexander asked anxiously.Assistant Jake nodded eagerly,”boss he looks just like your childhood pictures, I swear it boss!…..”, Jake answered him with certainty.Alexander Johnson looked dumbfounded at Assistant Jake and got lost in his thoughts silently,’how can the little boy look like me? I can swear with my life that I’ve never met Alice Jet before. Heck I could have swore that I’ve ever only met Mr. Jet himself on three occasions during all the times we’ve been doing business. But how can a lady I’ve never met before in my entire existence have a son that looks just like me? I know Jake is not lying because we’ve known each other for years and he knows me since I was a teenager, we’ve been best friends for years…..But

Alice didn’t know she had already picked up the call until she had tiny voices at the background behind the phone calling for her attention.“Mummy!!”“Mummy!!”“Mummy!!”“Mummy!!”“Mummy are you there?, are you okay? Or do you want us to come and pick you up?….wait don’t answer, where are you?We are coming to pick you up…”, she heard the cold but sweet voice of Junior declare as he spoke to her. She wondered how they’d pick her up because coming to the realization that their driver would probably still be around. For a second as she paused on the street, the way he spoke to her brought her mind to the incident that happened barely ten minutes ago. His voice and the hint of sharpness and coldness of it was identical to that of Alexander, their father.She had to herself to reply Junior before he drags his sister and their nanny or driver to come pick her up, she took in deep breaths to calm herself and smiled shaking lips,”Junior darling…..I’m on my way home right now, I went for a me

Junior glared at the cold ground whilst his tiny hands were fisted in a tight ball. His glare was cold, as if the ground has wronged him in a severe manner,”mummy it’s all because of Nancy Li, the niece of Jane Li, the famous model and actress. She slapped Alexia because Alexia defended herself and you when she called you a bad word and Alexia a bastard because she doesn’t have-she doesn’t have-she doesn’t have a father!…”, he howled angrily.“What-what-w-hat-what are you telling me?…”Nanny’s eyes got moist when she saw the broken look on Alice Jet as she kept looking at her son to tell her that what he just said was a lie and that nothing of that sort happened to her babies.Junior didn’t see the pain in his mother’s eyes nor did he hear the sorrow in her voice hence he continued,”so it happened that Nancy Li happens to be the niece of the famous Jane Li so she gets her way always as her auntie contributes and donates to the school all the time. She started picking on Alexia since th

She entered her room and closed the door silently behind her, she walked in front of the mirror and took a long glance of herself. She realized from today’s incident that the children need their father in their lives and because of that, she had decided not to hid any information away from the investigator she knew Alexander Johnson will hire. Taking her phone out of her bag, she called a number, the number that handles all her dirtiest businesses, she made the call through to her best friend.“Hello, it’s me……”“Long time mi hermosa princesa…”, a muscular voice said at the other side of the call.“Carlos? it’s not very pleasant for me to make a call to you, In fact if it were up to me, I will never hear from you again….”, she muttered with a scoff.“Oh come on Princesa! are you still angry about that incident? Happened a long time ago and I think you’ve punished me enough. I have being missing you and those little Munchkins for so long…how are they doing? Gosh! I miss them so fucking

Carlos made a face over the phone and questioned her,”that’s a strange request coming from you. Who is the person going to send the investigators?…”, he asked curiously.Alice smile,” the person that will be sending the investigators is Alexander Johnson…”Carlos gasped very dramatically,”Princesa?! Isn’t that your ex-husband from the wicked family? Didn’t his family and that Li family gang up against you and almost killed you and our precious sweethearts? No! absolutely not!…I’m not giving chances for what happened six years ago to repeat itself. You can go ahead and do all you want with yourself, I don’t care that much but don’t include my babies!!!”, he howled at her through the phone.Alice raised her eyebrows in amazement,’his babies? Lol one would think he got pregnant and gave birth to them himself…ha! how funny and amusing….’, she thought amusingly to herself as she heard scoff and huff over the phone.“Carlos bare in mind that Alexander had no idea what his family was up to un

Alice smiled sadly,”life has it way of humbling you and making you into a survivor, you go through so much that it moulds you into a completely different person than you wanted to be when you were younger. You turn into the characters you judged so much while growing up and you start making all the mistakes you judge so bad. I may be smart but the kids especially Junior didn’t take his intelligence from me. I will dare say he took his looks and intelligence all from his father. He-he took everything from Ale…”“Who mummy? Who did I take after? Who did I take everything from?….”, a tiny voice questioned her softly at the door. Startled Alice dropped the phone and by so doing she accidental press the loud speaker button on the phone. She was so into the conversation she was having with Carlos Rodriguez on the phone that she didn’t even hear the footsteps approaching her room nor did she the presence of Junior until he startled her with the questions he asked.

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.

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
