“Hmm… My friend and I are visiting someone today. So, I might not be available until evening.” A voice echoed from Alicia's phone.Undoubtedly, one could easily tell who she was talking to. Her expression had shown it all that she was talking to her so-called boyfriend, Antonio.“Which of your friends? If I may ask.” she inquired, having feelings that it was Wayne Antonio was referring to.The truth was that Alicia was looking for a way to get rid of Wayne from Antonio's life because she had gotten what she wanted.The only thing Alicia was waiting for was for Antonio to propose to her before she could leave Kate's house.“Is that important?” Antonio smirked.“Can you please answer me? I know why I'm asking you this, Antonio… hold on, someone is at the door,” said Alicia after a heavy knock came on the door.“Attend to the person. I will call you later, please.” Antonio announced to her and then hung up the call.Alicia gestured towards the door. Immediately she opened the entrance, s
Later that day, Antonio fixed a location where he wanted Wayne to meet with him. Wayne agreed to meet with him because he was certain that Antonio wanted to introduce him to Gregory. From there, he would be able to gather little information about what was happening.Nonetheless, Wayne was a bit scared because Alicia had turned her back on him, and she might have revealed her mission to Antonio.The only thing he needed to do was to be careful so that Antonio wouldn't fool him and get rid of him.After meeting at the address Antonio sent to him, they used Antonio's car to go to Gregory's mansion; Wayne was fully aware that they were going to Gregory's mansion with Antonio's car because he was told by Antonio even before he went there.For that reason, he left his car at the place he rented under the care of a certain man, who volunteered to look after the car.After a few miles of driving, they finally arrived at an estate gate, where Antonio showed them his access card, so they could
Antonio and Gregory suddenly burst into heavy laughter, with their guns still pointing at Wayne.At that point, Wayne clenched his fist furiously as he lowered his gaze at them. He wished he could fight them, but that was almost impossible because they were large.Gregory's guards alone are enough to take him down with just a shot.“You are just a boy, dude,” Gregory spat out through gritted teeth and finally dropped his pistols.Antonio also dropped his pistol and then took a few steps toward Wayne with chuckling.He finally stopped a few inches away from Wayne as they glared at each other.“I should have known that this was what you were planning. You are a devil in the human body, Antonio.” Wayne fearlessly spat out every word with anger.“I guess you now understand what my statement meant. Of course, you understand unless you are a dumbass,” said Gregory as he also stepped forward.Gregory stood beside Anton
Now, Felix, who didn't bother to ask about his Mom after arriving home, finally requested where she was and Kate narrated everything that happened.Felix was enraged because his Mom died miserably. However, he didn't care much because he believed that she was facing the consequences of her evil.However, after hearing that, Charlotte couldn't believe it because she was convinced that Aidan wouldn't do such a thing.Nonetheless, Charlotte was eager to see her boss. But Felix wasn't ready to present himself to Aidan, thinking that Aidan might still be holding grudges against him about what happened between them before he fled away from the Nasa city to country B.“Do you still believe that my boss will do that?” Charlotte questioned Felix with annoyance.“Look, babe. It seems like you are not getting what I'm saying here. Yeah, let's assume that he wasn't the one who poisoned my Mom. So who did it? Because my Mom was under his care when he took her for dinner. However, I'm not even both
“I-I'm s-sorry. I never meant to do that?” she stammered with her head low.Felix frowned and lowered his gaze at her.“ Look me in the face and tell me if I look like someone who can believe your lies.”As soon as she heard that, she felt tears gathering in her eyes. She suppressed her tears because she knew that tears would not help her.She slowly raised her head and glanced at Felix's face, and then quickly averted her gaze away.“Forgive me, sir. It isn't what you think, please.” she fell on her knees and pleaded.“And how did you know what I'm thinking, huh?” he yelled at her. He averted his gaze to Kate and said to her.“ Since I stepped into this house, I noticed that there is something fishy about this maid. Thankfully, her identity is gradually revealed. Is this how she has been behaving?”“Erm…no.” Kate shook her head.“ However, I also noticed that she's hiding something from me, which I'm yet to find out what it is
Upon seeing how angry Felix became, Alicia quickly lowered her gaze as fear ruled over her.She could feel Felix's gaze on her, and she was confused about what to tell Felix so that she wouldn't be hurt by him. If not for Charlotte, maybe Felix would have beat the hell out of her when he caught her eavesdropping on their conversation.“Who are you working for?” Felix asked through gritted teeth as he glared at Alicia with reddish eyes.Alicia opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out of her mouth; rather, she found herself thinking about the best lie to tell Felix.“Answer me, b*tch!” he roared, causing Alicia to flinch in fear.“I… I'm not working for anyone, except my mistress.” she stammered as she fearfully pressed her palms against her thighs.“Don't pretend as if you didn't understand my question. Who sent you here, and why are you trying to escape at this time of the night? Speak now before I get you arrested.” he grimaced, inching his face closer to her with anger.“Forgi
It was dawn, and Felix woke up as early as possible and went to Alicia's room to check on her before he could call the police on her.As soon as he opened the door, what he set eyes on left him speechless and stunned.“This is not possible.” Felix muttered with his eyes wide open.“ This girl can't die in my house.” Without thinking twice, he ran back upstairs and called his sister and his girlfriend to come and witness what he was seeing.Upon getting to the door, both Kate and Charlotte froze. “What?” the two ladies said in chorus.Alicia had a sleepless night because of the current situation. She knew that her end had come, and she was left with no choice but to harvest what she planted a year ago.She thought of the best way to settle everything, but nothing came up in her mind, leaving her restless. Furthermore, she wept throughout the night until an idea finally popped up in her mind.The best that came up in her mind was to commit suicide and end her life, and she indeed did w
Now, Kate gave Felix Aidan's house address as she agreed to handle Alicia's case with the police.However, as soon as Felix and Charlotte got to the estate gate, they were stopped by the estate security.“Hey, man. May I know you and the purpose of your coming?” one of the estate security inquired as he rested his left hand on the taxi.“Hmm…” Felix was lost about what to say.“I'm here to see my boss, sir,” said Charlotte with a calm face.The gatekeeper chuckled and asked,“ Who is your boss? Is he aware that you're coming?”“His name is Aidan Frederick. And…no, he is not aware of my coming. It's just a surprise visit.” she responded.“I'm sorry, madam. But we don't entertain surprise visits here. You must inform the person who you want to visit so that the person can inform us, or else you won't be permitted to enter the estate, my dear. That's one of the rules governing this estate.” the gatekeeper explained.They tried to convince the security officer, but he gave them deaf ears, i
