“To where? I see no reason we should leave the house because someone is threatening you. The best thing to do is to break up with your boyfriend and that's all.” Alicia suggested.“I can't do that, Alicia. Antonio and I have been in a relationship for a long time now, and he has proposed to me. How do you expect me to end the relationship just like that? Do you think it's easy? Uh?” Kate declined.“Trust me, moving away from this house doesn't mean you would be safe, madam. Who knows if the person will begin to spy on you now? I'm certain that this lady is Mr. Antonio's second girlfriend…”“Enough, Alicia!” Kate cut into her statement. “Do not label my boyfriend as a cheater. Do you hear me?”!“You seem to have been blinded by love, madam. Why are you finding it difficult to see that this young man is a playboy? Who proposes to a lady and then finds it hard to fix a wedding day? Kindly think about that, and you will understand what I'm saying.” Alicia smirked and rolled her eyes with
Alicia woke up and saw herself lying on her bed. “W-what happened, Alicia?” Kate dizzily enquired as she continued to blink her eyes.“Good morning, madam,” Alicia greeted her,“ Hmm… I have no idea about what happened to you last night. I was in my room and I heard your scream and rushed out of my room only to come and discover that you passed out,” she explained.Kate was quiet for a few minutes as she tried to recall everything that happened the previous night, which resulted in her slumping.“Did you notice that the entire lights went off last night?” she curiously asked.“No. I was fast asleep before your scream woke me up from bed. However, when I woke up, there was nothing wrong with the lights. Everywhere was bright as usual, except for the few places where I usually switch off the lights before we go to bed.” Alicia explained, feeling excited about how terrified Kate was.“Get my phone, please.” “Okay, madam. Hmm… there it is beside your head, madam.” Alicia said and pointed
“No, please…” Antonio quickly motioned towards Kate and grabbed her hand, stopping her from pulling out the ring.“Don't do this to me, please… you are the most precious thing I have in my life. You and I can deliberate about whatever you are going through and settle it.” Antonio pleaded with sadness.Kate freely let out tears as she bit her upper lips and shook her head with sympathy. Although she sympathized with Antonio, her life mattered too. Only she knew what she was experiencing. She knew so well that it might lead to her death if action wasn't taken.“I'm sorry, Antonio… I can't continue with this relationship. My life is in great danger. You don't know what I faced last night, that's why you're facing it hard to understand me.” she conversed with him as endless tears flowed down her cheeks.Immediately she said that she pushed him away from her, causing him to fall on his butt on the ground.With haste, she pulled off the ring from her finger and threw it at Antonio's face.
Alicia was dumbfounded for what seemed like ages as she gazed at Wayne, wishing he should ask her to never mind his question.Amidst that, Alicia questioned Wayne about something different, so she could change the topic they were discussing.

Why did you decorate it this much when you knew you weren't going to stay long here?” “Well, just because I won't stay long doesn't mean I shouldn't stay in a comfortable place.” he responded to her and reminded her,“ But what you are asking me won't stop you from answering the question I asked earlier.” “I'm lost what you need that for,” she smirked and rolled her eyes before folding her arms above her chest.“What?” Wayne was lost.“Look, Wayne,” she said sharply. “ You
“Promise me that you won't tell anyone, bruh,” said Alicia amidst tipsy.“Trust me, Alicia, I will never tell anyone,” Wayne promised as he supported her not fall on the bed because of how drunk she was.“Alright…if you say so, then I will tell you everything. C-crime-and-and destruction…” dizziness couldn't allow her to complete her statement.Just as she said those few words, her eyes slowly closed. Upon seeing that, Wayne forcefully shakes her to open her eyes.“What crime and destruction did he commit, Alicia? Speak to me.” Wayne shakes her once more.Alicia lazily raised her eyebrows and stared at Wayne in the face.“Continue, please.” Wayne pleaded with Alicia, who was about to sleep off.“H-he killed…”“Sh*t!” Wayne cursed after Alicia had finally fallen asleep and was no longer speaking. “No, something must be done. I seriously need to know his secrets. I'm certain that these two are hiding something big, and I need to get to the root of it…” Just after muttering a few words,
Now, Wayne was on a mission to meet with Antonio, and he did everything possible to meet with him.It was 9 PM on Friday…In a certain club, Antonio could be seen gulping a glass cup of alcohol as three bottles were set before him on a table.“Ahsh…” Antonio bitterly muttered as he dropped the empty glass cup on the table while shaking his head.His eyes were already red, but he wouldn't stop drinking because of how bitter his life was at that moment.As he attempted to pour more wine into the glass cup, someone suddenly grabbed his hand, stopping him from taking the bottle.Antonio frowned and quickly lifted his head to see the person who roughly held his hand without his knowledge.Upon setting eyes on the young man standing before him, he grimaced at him and angrily pulled out his hand from the young man's grip. “Let go of my hand, you bastard. How dare you hold my hand in such a manner, uh?”“Forgive me, brother, but I think that should be enough for today. You have finished a bot
Wayne obeyed his boss by honoring his invitation.Wayne found himself standing before his boss with his head respectfully bow.“Wayne,” Aidan called out.“Yes, boss,” Wayne answered with his head still bowed.Aidan was sitting in the beautiful garden under a flower tree shade as he crossed his leg over the other.“If I could recall, you told me that it has been long since you visited your family, so you want to travel home to see them. And I gave you three weeks off from work to have fun with your family members before you resume work. Was that not what we discussed?”“Yes, boss. That was our agreement.”“Then what happened? Did you travel out of the city as you told me?” Aidan asked in a calm voice, but he was burning with anger inside of him. “Pardon me, boss.” Wayne fell to his knees.“ It was all a lie. I'm an orphan, who has no family or relatives.”“Ohh, you are an orphan? Was that why you decided
While Wayne was still in Aidan's mansion, Antonio's call came in.“Hey, Antonio,” Wayne picked up the call.“Hello, Williams, I missed your call this morning. I was still sleeping when you called,” Antonio sincerely apologized.“That isn't an issue, my dear friend. But how did you notice that I was the one who called?” Wayne enquired.“Well, I was expecting your call. Moreover, when you picked up my call, I immediately recognized your voice. So, that shouldn't be a surprising thing to you, bro.”“Ohh… I see.” Wayne chuckled. “Well, I only called to check on you.”“Thank you so much for the concern. However, something just popped up in my head this morning. So, I would like you to help, please.” said Antonio on the phone.“I'm ready to do anything for you as long as it has nothing to do with violence,” Wayne responded.“Not at all. I can't make you do such a thing. I just recalled that my ex's birthday is today a
