“Are you telling me that my husband has that much money and I didn’t know about it?!”Alexander shrugged and replied “Sometimes the people we know aren’t who we think they are. It won’t be a difficult task for someone who engages in something like blackmail to hide it from their partner” “I guess that’s true,” Janise said with a disappointed tone.“Yeah,” Alexander replied with a skeptical tone. Just then, Janise’s body jerked.“Wait a minute. How do I know that all these things you just said are true? I don’t know you from anywhere so why should I believe you over the person I chose to spend the rest of my life with? For all I know, you could be a liar” She said.“But you already confirmed that he worked at the Gourmet Giant restaurant in the past, just like my associate. Isn’t that enough proof that I’m talking from a place of truth?” Alexander said.“Yes, but you could have found that information somewhere. People your age have proven themselves to be able to do incredible things
Janise panicked.“I don’t know!” she said to her husband and then she looked at Alexander.“What the hell are you talking about?” She asked angrily. Alexander looked at the husband and asked “When I told you that I asked your wife if you worked at the Gourmet Giant Restaurant and I said her answer was yes, you looked surprised. The truth is you didn’t work there, did you? Let me even take it a step further. You’d never heard of the Gourmet Giant until I mentioned it to you a few sentences ago”“That’s right. I never worked there and I’m only just finding out about such a place or that it closed down from you. I work construction and I always have since I was a teenager” the husband said.Alexander looked at Janise and said “You heard that so which one of you is the liar? That was a rhetorical question because as I said, I can tell when someone is lying to me and I know the answer is you” Janise looked at her husband and he was looking at her with a confused expression.“Honey, did y
Chef Ronaldo’s eyes widened for a split second then he frowned.“You know what would happen if you do this, chef. Everything you’ve worked all these years for will go down the drain which is exactly what she wants” Alexander said and Chef Ronaldo looked at Janise.“She? So I was right” he said and then looked at Alexander “I don’t have any choice. Like you said, she brought me to this—“ The husband interrupted.“Who the hell are you?!” He asked.Both Alexander and Chef Ronaldo looked at him.“You want to know who I am, huh? Okay then” Chef Ronaldo said then walked closer to the husband.“My name is Ronaldo Drayman and I’ve been the victim of this woman’s blackmailing scheme for the past couple of months now,” Chef Ronaldo said.The husband looked at Alexander then he looked at the chef and frowned.“Sorry, but your friend tried the same trick but it didn’t work and neither will yours. My wife isn’t a blackmailer so you two liars can leave my property before I—“ the husband did but wa
“How many times do I have to tell you that I’m not any blackmailer or this Genevieve person you’re mistaking me for?!” Janise said adamantly. Alexander, who was getting tired of her constant denial, frowned. “You might be able to change your face with surgeries but one thing you can never change is your voice. How many times do you think I’ve heard that voice tell me what to do in the kitchen? How many times do you think I was reprimanded by that voice of yours for making the tiniest mistake until I became the great chef I am today?” Chef Ronaldo said and Janise frowned.“Again, I don’t know what you’re talking—!“ she said but Alexander cut her off.“Yeah. Yeah. You’re going to tell us for the one-hundredth time that we have you mistaken for someone else and we’re still not going to believe you, but let me ask you this one simple question” Alexander said and everybody became curious about what he was going to ask.“Was the fact that Chef Ronaldo would be able to identify and remembe
Janise was shocked to hear what her husband just said.“Babe?” She looked at him.With an emotionless face, the husband looked back at her and said “I’ve loved you since the moment I laid my eyes on you and to make sure we one day ended up together I put in so much effort to be the one you want. Did you think I wouldn’t notice when you started acting differently?”“What?” Janise’s eyes blinked rapidly.“For the past couple of months, I’ve had a feeling that you were going through something, so while I waited for you to open up to me about it, I just stayed back and observed. Never in a million years would I imagine that you changed because you became someone who would do something so terrible to someone else” the husband said to her then he looked at Chef Ronaldo.“While I was keeping an eye on her, I noticed that there was something strange with our family’s safe. For some reason, she who had never once used it, started going to it on a regular, so though I’m not a hundred percent su
Alexander and Kevin went inside and Alexander did a little look around the room.Just like the rest of the house, it wasn’t an exceptional-looking room and Alexander started to wonder what Janise had done with all that money she got from Chef Ronaldo.Since she very well couldn’t use it in ways that her husband would be aware of so what did she do with it?“This way,” Kevin said, taking Alexander’s attention away from his observation of the room.“Okay,” the young multimillionaire replied then followed Kevin to one side of the room.‘A painting. So I’m guessing that the safe of behind this’ Alexander crossed his arms and thought as both of them stood in front of a realistic portrait of a landscape.Kevin grabbed the sides of the painting and raised it from the hook it was hung on.He set the painting on the side and both men stared at the wall safe. Kevin looked at Alexander and said “If you don’t mind”“Sure” Alexander replied then looked away.“Thanks,” Kevin said then stepped clos
First of all, I’d like to apologize for the lack of chapters for the past month and two weeks. I won’t lie or make any excuse as to why that is and I’ll only tell the truth. The truth is I wasn’t making anything substantial from this book and it had been going on like that for a long time but seeing the views, although little, gave me motivation to keep writing. Two months before I stopped writing I saw that I barely got any views or promotion from the platform so I took a couple of days to rest and try and fall in love with the story again. A couple of days turned to weeks to months and you get the rest. During that time I went to find a job that’ll give me something to live by and I’m happy to say that I have and now I’ve fallen in love with the story again and would like to continue. I’ve already written a couple of chapters, about to finish the blackmail arc and start a new one. All that’s left is to go through everything I’ve written, edit, and start uploading. Upload starts
Alexander and Kevin walked down the corridor leading to the staircase and just as they were a few feet away from it, Alexander’s enhanced hearing kicked in.He began to hear the conversation being had between Chef Ronaldo and Janise downstairs.Alexander groaned at how personal the conversation seemed then not wanting to invade their privacy he decided to stop listening. He also wasn’t interested in the conversation as all he cared about was finishing his mission from the gods of vengeance and possession, so he decreased the range of his hearing to that of a normal person. He and Kevin got to the top of the stairs and he took his focus to the countdown timer again, this time having a foreboding feeling as they started walking down the stairs.‘Just one more thing to do and the mission is complete. Nothing stupid better happen in the last minute—‘ Alexander thought but was cut off by what he saw in the living room.He saw Chef Ronaldo on the floor and Janice pointing the gun at him.
