Driving home with soft music of Ed Sheeran playing at the background. She was relaxed yet worried, calm yet panicked within, confident but very afraid. As she drove home enjoying the soft and melodic voice of Ed Sheeran, memories came rushing in making her break down in tears.The day had been too overwhelming, she had experience both wins and defeats but what she didn’t know was the biggest surprise was waiting for her at home.********Alice Jet got home a bit after four in the afternoon, after getting through the remote controlled gate, she went ahead to park the car in front of the mansion and took the pizza with her bag out of the car.She stood outside staring at the big mansion In front of her, the same mansion that feels like home yet gets too lonely for her but today, it was giving her such a weird vibe. Signing slowly, she approached the door.She noticed how quiet the entire mansion was immediately she got to the living room, the tv was on with both kids cuddled to each othe
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. She turned to see him stand
That evening, the twins fell asleep talking with Carlos as he told them advantages of his travel around the world and later on sang them a lullaby with his crispy and rusted voice. The lullaby did serve it purpose as the kids truly fell asleep before he completed the song though his voice was truly terrible. “Enough Carlos!, you are damaging my eardrum with that voice of yours. Gosh! I can’t stand it, I don’t know how the twins enjoyed this your singing till they fell asleep, your voice is terrible! I don’t think I’ve ever heard a voice as bad as yours…”, Alice verbalized with a huff.Carlos rolled his eyes at the authentic drama queen he had come to know and love,”I know my voice might be bad but you are simply making a mountain out of an ant hill. You are exaggerating the entire voice situation, your kids have better hearing sensory than you do to be truthful. They know original when they see it and you my dear are a hater of good singing.”Carlos said proudly.Alice couldn’t help la
After leaving Assistant Jake that day, Alexander Johnson drove to a bar alone. Sitting down at the corner of bar, he sips his drink slowly thinking about the entire events that happened earlier in the day.‘I’ve thought about this all this while till my head is about to bust from all this over thinking, who is this woman and why does she have kids that look so much like me? Was she a one night stand I had years ago? I wasn’t one to have one night stand even when I lost Alice. I’ve never a one night stands in my life, I mostly drunk myself to sleep from morning till evening when I lost Alice. Could she be Alice? Alice was truly the only woman I’ve ever slept with to my knowledge unless I’ve slept with someone else without my knowledge. I’ve never had any sexual encounter with anyone not even with her all those years she abused me. To my knowledge I haven’t slept with anyone else besides Alice so does that mean Alice Jet is my Alice? My Alice? Are-are the children mine? Is that even poss
Taking the address, Alexander didn’t even think twice before leaving the company to the address to see things for himself.He heard laughter of a child when he approached the said address, the laughter wasn’t loud but the wind took it very far away from where he was. Parking his car, he got out of the car to meet a small boy who looks just like him standing in front of him with just the electronic gate separating them.They both stood astound, too surprised to talk, Alexander Johnson didn’t even know when he had approached the small way and was at the gate of the gate. He soon realized that getting that close to the gate made him get a closer look at the boy which left him more than amazed. His mouth gaped in wonder and his body moved on it own accord.He kept opening his mouth to say a word, anything at all to the younger version of himself but nothing seems to be coming out of his mouth. He attempted severally to at least say something, a single word, anything but words failed him.S
The church was decorated beautifully and well wishers sitting pretty in each role. The theme colors of the said wedding seems to be rose and gold, a perfect combination for such a warm weather and a beautiful occasion. A man of God dressed in all write was seen standing at the alter with a speaker in his had as he spoke to the crowd in high spirit.“Dearly beloved, We are gathered together here to unite (bride & groom) in marriage. This contract and commitment is not to be entered into lightly, but with thoughtfully and seriousness with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. Please remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home……”, he started his sermon with those beautiful words that captured the heart of everyone in the church.The sermon continued and every heart was rejoice at the priest’s sermons and his wordings. He was giving out advises, sincere and unbiased advises so most of them didn’t want the sermon to c
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. The workers were in the rain waiting for her to leave so they can start with leveling the floor and start with the grave moulding
The news, the sad news of the murder of the small girl broke everyone in the entire country. The news of the little stranger didn’t only break their heart but the pain of her demise cut them deep in their hearts and they all cried out in pain of her untimely death. 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
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
