All Chapters of The Beauty of The Guilty: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Twenty Two -- Iseoluwa"Wait, what?" I uttered as my mind played David's words. He can't be here! We seriously needed to travel. How would we do it?"The police are aware about us, we have to leave for a while." Eric said."But, Mr. Durotola is here and he leaves in three weeks. Once he travels out, we might not be able to get him again. He is staying for a few years." David added as I sighed."So, we need to get him in three weeks. We don't have a choice." Abigail sighed as I shrugged."Exactly, we can't travel. We need to catch the man. David, how about Janet and her Father?" I asked as he smiled. "They must have arrived at the house over there. It was smart of you to think of travelling them out. The police wouldn't be able to trace them." He said as I nodded."So, we need to take care of Johnson. He must have given the officers Eric's name." I thought for

Twenty Four -- IseoluwaI quietly locked the door before stumbling on the bed. It had been really hard to bottle all the emotions inside me. I had to be strong for the team but my inside had been burning. I sighed rolling my side so that I was facing up. Memories from the past kept flooding in no matter how hard I tried to block it. I just couldn't stop seeing them. Also, the weight of being framed for killing someone isn't part of my plan. I never knew he was going to die. Who was responsible for his death? Perhaps, his team members or the other two that were involved in the case?Urggh! I groaned as I strolled to my book shelf. My very help is what I needed badly now. I carefully scanned through the books before settling for a book on delusional disorder. I might find delusions an escape of my past memories. I rolled over, dwelling on the painful path of the protagonist in the novel. He was an orphan like me. Wow, we were re

Twenty Six -- EwawummiI can't believe my eyes. I can't believe he didn't die. He really didn't. I wailed in joy. "Hey, it's over ten minutes already." He muttered and I noticed the edge in his voice."Sorry, I was just excited." I muttered releasing him. I got a closer look again. He was just as handsome as I remembered."But, why are you here? You work in Oyo? Right?" He said as I nodded."I came in on a special mission to arrest some gang." I said as he nodded slowly."Oh nice, you must be so good then. I wonder why you were pursuing me. Was it because I was speeding? Oh, I do that a lot. I was just playing around." He muttered as I glared..That's true... In the station, he wasn't there. Where did they all go to? I am sure that this was the plate number."What happened here? How did you get this car?" I asked him as he shrugged.

Twenty Eight -- EwawummiI parked carefully in the garage. The house they provided was very nice. It wasn't the biggest but it was really comfortable for just one person. I took in the interior decorations. It was to my taste. I am sure boss gave them some inklings. It had a large living room and a very big room enough for three people. A giant white bed was at the centre of the room. It was lined with a purple linen. Still taking in the beauty, I ran to the kitchen. It was neat and already filled with foodstuffs. I wondered what I'll do with the money they gave me.I came back to the room with the luggage I left in the living room. Arranging the room took more time than I expected. I can be very picky at times. After hours of arranging, I slumped on the bed. My mind drifted back to the time I had with Ise. It was pretty short though I can't seem to get the time spent out of my mind.I waved it off as I decided to think about the ca

Thirty -- IseoluwaI entered the room with a frown. I knew I over reacted with the cop. I wasn't just in the proper mood."Ish, what's up? What's getting you worked up?" Dave asked with a sly smile. He was busy with his system. "Durotola has hired a new bodyguard. I heard that the person is really skillful." I muttered as I sat down."Seriously? That's why you are upset? Are you afraid or what?" Eric replied as I shrugged."Of course not. But, I wanted our meeting to be a surprise. It looks like he was aware of us already." I added as they nodded."But, how did he know? You haven't brought up the event that brought them together. Also when Mr. Badejo found out about it, that was his last day. He died the moment you left his room. So, how would he know that you are coming for him?" Eric asked as I sat up."That exactly is getting me worked up. I don't understan
