The following morning, Liam who had no idea of what was brewing against him was already awake and was prepared to go to work. It was past seven and in a few minutes, it would clock eight. Looking at what the time said, Liam was sure Alexander had already left for work. These days the old man hardly bothered him.Liam had a different plan for this morning, instead of going to the company, he would go visit Mr Broda in his bar to apologize to the old man for leaving abruptly without informing him.And as usual, Liam wore a pair of suits, dark I'm colour. His shoes were also black and spotless. An expensive designer watch was on his wrist, of course, he didn't buy the watch, he just found it in his closet as Alexander had made sure everything was prepared for him.Like he always did, his hair was styled neatly to his satisfaction. Liam picked up his suitcase and stared at his reflection in the full-length mirror, it had become a daily norm for him to check himself before stepping out. Af
The moment Liam had stepped out of the mansion, Nelson who still stood by the door with his cup of coffee smiled wider. With a slurping sound, he took a long sip from his coffee that had now turned warm enough for a person to drink in one gulp, but Nelson wanted to savour his coffee instead. He then turned to face the maid who stood by the dining table with her hands folded before her. Looking at her, Nelson asked, "Did you put what I ordered you to put in his coffee?" He was referring to Liam's coffee. The maid whose gaze had been lowered lifted it to look at Nelson, she nodded and him and said, "Yes sir, I added it to Sir Liam's coffee." Her response had Nelson nod at her before looking away from her. There was happiness evident in Nelson's eyes. Everything was going according to plan. Now he could only hope that Liam would drink that coffee till the cup would become empty and then await the good news that would soon. Nelson then turned around and stepped into the dining room, he
Sitting relaxed in the car after redirecting the driver to Mr Broda's house, Liam let out a loud sigh as he thought about the chances of meeting Cara and her mother and even her boyfriend. He recalled the last encounter he had with them that involved the police, this made him wonder what their reactions would be if they saw him again like this. Of course, they would probably laugh and mock him and call him a fake. Not that he cared because he wasn't going there to impress them, to begin with. He wasn't worried about how they would treat him, he just didn't want to deal with their drama. Time felt a bit slow for Liam. His gaze however fell on the cup of coffee in his hands, for a moment he had forgotten about the existence of the coffee. He lifted his hand that held the coffee, ready to take a sip and hoping it was still as hot when his phone rang out loud. Liam flinched at how loud his phone was inside the quiet car, almost spilling his coffee. He hissed and dropped his hand down as
As early as seven in the morning, the Broda household was already busy with so many activities because the police had shown up to continue with their investigations. They took photos of the crime scene where the dried blood and broken lamp were still there as they had informed the family not to touch or go close to the crime scene. The police were also investigating the neighbours who came to share their condolences for the family and their loss. But the police officers realized something. Almost all the neighbours they questioned attested that Mr Broda had a visitor yesterday because they saw a luxurious car parked outside yesterday around the time when the crime took place. The atmosphere was gloomy and filled with sadness as the police went on with their job. Everyone was wide awake with Susan seated in the living room receiving visitors who came to visit the woman as word had spread around about the death of Mr Broda which came as a shock to everyone. Nick sat beside his mother
"Matt, good morning." The police man who had been walking around the house greeted when he spotted Matt. Just by looking at his back, the police man could tell it was obviously Matt. Matt was the only blonde guy close to the Broda family. The guy who had behaved suspiciously yesterday during his interrogation and this made the police officer not to give up on interrogating Matt, the police man felt Matt was either hiding something or he knew something. He had come here alongside his team to continue the investigation of Mr Broda's death. After his encounter and questioning with Matt, he couldn't get his mind off Matt because there was something off about him. His body language, the way he spoke and answered the questions, his reactions and everything. They were all off and that was something a police man like him couldn't just ignore. On hearing his name being called from behind him, Matt couldn't help but curse his luck. It seems the universe was testing him because he always found
"Matt, do you mind telling us where you went to after you left this place? And don't forget you'll need evidence to back up your claim." The police man asked and everyone waited silently to hear what Matt had to say. Including Susan and Nick. Nick who had been the only person in this family who found Matt suspicious was paying extra attention to what Matt had to say. But someone wasn't exactly happy, Cara. She frowned on hearing the question asked by the police man. She hated the sound of it because it sounded like they had all just concluded that Matt was the suspect and was already questioning him like one. However, she couldn't say or do anything even though deep down she wanted to defend Matt which of course was the right thing to do as his girlfriend. She also noticed the stares the visitors threw at Matt and Cara thought they were being too much. Couldn't they see how softhearted Matt looked? Did he resemble someone who could even hurt a fly? Just by staring at them with the
Liam who had noticed the stare from the man who opened the door for him chose to ignore him and walk in. However, Liam was taken aback for a second the moment he stepped into the house to meet a group of people present in the living room all seated with their heads turned to the direction of the door where he stood.With a frown, Liam scanned the living room with his eyes, he could only recognize his in-laws and Cara's boyfriend and as for the rest, he had no idea who they were.The weird gathering was not the only thing visible to Liam who had just arrived. He also noticed the heavy tension in the air, it was also gloomy with something heavy and suffocating, something he couldn't quite point his fingers.He had only come here to see his father-in-law, who knew he would be met with this surprise. But then, what was the reason for this gathering? And why were the people looking like they were witnessing the most brutal death sentence of the century, they all appeared to look tense.In
The slap from Susan took everyone by surprise, including Officer Steve who never expected the woman to be violent against anyone. What suddenly came over her? It was indeed a surprise to everyone that this young man who just arrived had come to see Mr Broda instead of mourning his death. It seems the young man was ignorant and had no idea of what tragedy had happened here yesterday. But no one could ever guess that Susan would be so offended by his words. It was very much true that Susan was offended by Liam's words. The whole time since he walked in, Susan had been quietly staring at him without any reaction or saying anything to him. Though her face was blank with no expression, she inwardly loathed Liam's presence in her house. She could already imagine he was here to mock her family and she didn't want him here, she wanted him out of here and to never show his face again. He was after all a member of her family only by paper as no one here liked him. But to think he would have
