The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Murder
Adera was going through some files with Zade when her mother’s call came in. She called back but there was no answer, which was highly unusual. She called again but like before there was no answer. She could feel it in her gut that something was wrong. Without hesitation, she got off the couch, ready to leave when Zade caught her wrists. “Where are you going? Did something happen?” He asked her. “Just help me go through those files in case you find anything that might be useful with the case. I need to go home now,” She told him instead but he wouldn’t let go of her. Realizing that stalling wouldn’t help, she decided to tell him anyway. “I don’t know for sure. My mother just called and then hung up the minute I hit the answer button. I called back twice but she didn’t answer the phone. Something is wrong, I can feel it,” she answered. “Then let me come with you.”“But…” “No buts. Let’s go.” She didn’t try to change his mind. For all she knew, her mother could be in serious
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Innocent?
Elizabeth came with Helen to visit after hearing the news. Adera refused to speak since the incident. She had been quiet, staring into space like nothing else existed. Zade tried his best to get her to talk to him but all his efforts were proven abortive. With Elizabeth and Helen present, he was hoping they would be able to talk some sense into her. Zade excused them as they entered the room. “Hey,” Helen spoke first, climbing into the bed. Adera did not even spare her a glance. She glanced at Elizabeth for help. “Look, we heard what happened to you and we are so sorry your mom had to go this way. The police are already walking on the case. I am sure in no distant time, the murderer would apprehended.” Adera remained silent. The women glanced at each other, confused about the next step to take. Helen decided to try again. “True, the police are investigating, but I highly doubt it would be as effective as you investigating this yourself. Please don’t let this weigh you down. Do
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Confusion
Roselia opened her mouth slowly and he shoved the spoon in. She chewed on it a little before shaking her head. “No, love, you have to take more. You haven't had anything in three days and it's getting everyone worried,” he scooped another spoonful of the food but she turned her face, unwilling to take another bite. “Come on, Rose. Don't you want to get better?” He asked but she wouldn't say a word. He tried harder but she wouldn't be coaxed into eating. Mrs Harper walked in at that moment and relief washed through him. Maybe she would be able to get the girl to eat something.“Still not eating?” She was quick to notice his frustrated expression. He nodded and she glanced at Roselia.“Let her be then. Maybe she is not hungry yet.”“What do you mean by not hungry yet? She hasn't taken anything since she woke up and you're saying she's not hungry? You want her to starve to death?” “Stop yelling, Flynn. You already said it yourself. You've tried but she wouldn't eat. What would you ha
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Another murder
“Have you seen the news?” Elizabeth asked, settling beside Zade. He nodded without looking at her. “You did? The police said they found a secret cam video. It has a record of the killer executing Mrs Anderson.”Zade nodded, paying half attention to her. He already knew everything she was trying to tell him. The footage wasn't real either. It was merely a trap to draw out the murderer. “You're not paying attention,” Elizabeth whined and he looked at her.“I'm sorry, honey. Didn't mean to ignore you. I'm just trying to finish up with work for Adera. You know she's not feeling well, I want her to rest properly instead of working,” He explained.Elizabeth nodded in understanding.“About the footage, there is really nothing to it. It is just a trap to draw out the murderer. Surely, they would try to destroy the evidence to stay hidden and that is where we are going to get them.”However, while they were confidently planning to lure the killer into their traps, the next victim had been c
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Next Target
Roselia got out of bed when she saw the news. Another murder. It seemed like the situation was escalating. It didn't seem like it was about the murder case anymore. She'd suspected the men may have taken the laws into their hands but this was going too far. The woman in question was in no way involved with the Andersons so why did they take her?Or could it be that it wasn't them?She got off the bed slowly and got dressed. She grabbed her keys and headed downstairs. Halfway to the car, she realized that she left her phone back in the room. In the course of getting it back, she bumped into Flynn.“Rose?” He called in surprise. She froze on the spot. “Where are you going? Why are you out of bed?” She opened her mouth to speak but the words failed her. Not from the sickness but from lack of explanation.“Did you want to get something? Are you hungry or…? Talk to me, is there something you want?” He asked and she nodded. “Food?” She nodded. “Babe, you didn't have to get out of bed b
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Attack
“What is really happening, Zade? Are we in danger?” Adera asked him after she saw the news of Olivia's murder. “I'm not sure. I can't quite tell what the primary aim of the attack is. The court has already adjourned the case till further notice because of your mother's death. If they wanted revenge, what does that have to do with Olivia?” He said thoughtfully. Adera understood his point but that didn't make her less afraid. She couldn't shake off the feeling that someone close to them was about to get hurt again. “What if they are planning another attack? On me, you, or maybe Elizabeth? Shouldn't we involve your grandfather in this before things get out of hand?” She suggested.“If I know my grandfather well, he would already have someone working on it now. We just have to be careful,” Zade answered. “What if snipers are involved?” She didn't realize she said it out loud until Zade chuckled.“What is so funny?” She frowned. He wrapped his arms around her, “You are safe with me. Y

In a few minutes, sirens were echoing from a distance. Roselia was busy trying to stop the bleeding on Flynn's hand. “It's not working, mom. What do we do?” She asked desperately. “I don't know. Maybe we should take the bullet out or something,” Mrs Harper suggested. Roselia stared at the wound. How were they supposed to take the bullet out? She'd never handled anything like it before. Flynn looked like he was about to pass out. Her brain was failing her amidst the panic. Even breathing was becoming difficult. “Calm down, Rose. I'll get a knife or something,” Mrs Harper was about to leave but Flynn caught her hand. He shook his head in disagreement. “But you're bleeding. You might die if we don't do something,” she argued.“It… it's not… a crucial spot. I… I'll live…” he forced the words out, struggling to keep his eyes open. His grip on her began to loosen as his vision blurred. “Don't just stand there, mom. Get the knife, please,” Roselia half yelled.“The police are here alre
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Confession
By the time Tucker regained consciousness, he was surrounded by both the Andersons and the Delamontes. He shut his eyes once again, hoping they would disappear and it would all be a dream.No one bothered him throughout the process. When he realized nothing changed no matter how hard he shut his eyes, he gave up. “Seems you're done having fun, Mr Tucker,” Adera said in a monotone. “What is the meaning of this?” He asked after futile attempts to get out of the seat. “Why are you keeping me here?”“Don't you think this is quite good compared to what you have done?” Adera asked him. “What nonsense are you talking about?”“It just doesn't make sense. Why would you of all people want my mother dead? That woman trusted you with her life. She treated you like family. Why would you do that to her?” Adera asked him. Tucker shot her a hard stare. “I don't know what you're talking about.”“I'd advise you to quit playing dumb, Mr Phillips. The odds are not in your favor,” Zade cut in. Tucker

Happy
The hospital was in chaos. Just a few hours ago, they were busy trying to deliver a woman of her baby and now, there was a blood bath. Doctors, nurses, and patients scampering for their lives. Edgar arrived at the hospital just a few minutes after the Delamontes did. With the guards positioned around, he knew there was no way to carry out the initial plan. He wanted Elsa. As revenge on Zade for ruining his life, he wanted to kidnap Elsa and the baby. Unfortunately, the security was too tight.Even if he succeeded in getting into the hospital, there was no possibility of getting out unscathed and alive. So he decided to face them squarely and it resulted in a bloody gunfight. The Delamontes were with Elsa in the private ward, with the Doctors and nurses attending to her.No one cared about the blood bath outside. Their priority was for Elsa to deliver safely.Edgar was able to take down the guards at the entrance but just when he thought he'd succeeded, more came out the through th

Labor
“You sure this plan is going to work?” Elizabeth asked for the umpteenth time.“Why do I feel like it's not the plan you're worried about but the person you might find,” Elsa crossed her arms. Elizabeth let out a sigh. “It's just that, I really like him, you know. I desperately want him to be the good guy. It will break me if he is actually the mole here.”“It's okay to be terrified. It's normal when you love someone, you want them to be an angel. A misunderstood villain and all of that but we need to face reality here. If Zion is not who he pretends to be, then we need to purge him out of your company before he ruins you,” Elsa said frankly.“But why would he?” Elizabeth threw her hands in her hair, confused and frustrated. “I offered him a job as my PA with a heavy paycheck and mouthwatering allowances to enable him to better the lives of his grandmother and son. I got him a fucking luxury apartment. Why would he repay me by sabotaging my company?”“You've said all the good things

The culprit
“Who do you work for?” The question was accompanied by a punch to the man's guts. He let out a groan but that seemed to be all he was going to do. Groan and groan until they got tired of hitting him.“I asked a question! Who is your boss?” He barely acknowledged the question, focusing on the wounds on his body. He had been stalking Elizabeth as usual when three cars entrapped him and he ended up here. The men had been torturing him for three days straight but all attempts to get him to speak were futile. The highest he did was scream and curse at them.“Tie him on the electric chair,” came an order. The man wasn't even panicked by it. They weren't going to oil him because they needed answers so nothing they did scared him.After tying him to the chair. They bathe him with water. His heart heart accelerated a little. He knew what electricity and water could do and frankly, he didn't want to experience it. “Are you ready to talk?” He was given a last chance.“Never!” “Perfect.” T

Zion?
“Mommy!” Helen heard from a distance.“Mommy, wake up!” She heard again. There was a slight pounding in her head. She was surrounded by darkness.“Mommy, wake up!!” It sounded so much like Elaine. She could feel the girl shaking her but she couldn't see her. “Mommy!”Helen tried to speak but her mouth was not cooperating. It felt like it had been sewn shut.There was another voice in the background. It didn't sound like Elaine’s but there was a familiar feel to it. Her hazy mind couldn't comprehend anything at that moment. Even her mind was struggling to process her situation. Why couldn't she open her eyes? It was obvious now that she wasn't in the dark, she was still unconscious. “Mommy!!” The little girl was weeping now. Helen struggled to get her eyes open. To tell the girl that she was fine. That everything would be fine.“Is Mommy dead?” She heard that familiar voice.“No, she's not. Look here, she's breathing.”Helen was a little relieved. At least her little girl was sensib

Mole
Elizabeth arrived at the office looking tacky which was so unlike her. Zion followed her into her office curiously. She'd never been an hour to work before and definitely not looking the way she did now. The eye bags were evident and her lips were chapped coupled with the rough ponytail she had on. She looked sick.“Good morning, ma'am," Zion greeted but she gave a mere nod in response. “Uhm… is everytime alright? You don't look fine. Yesterday, you left the office suddenly and today you look like a mess,” he observed. Elizabeth glanced at him before scampering through the files on her desk. “Ma'am, I know you might not feel the need to talk to me after my behavior yesterday and I apologize. I just had a lot going on so I might have taken out some of the frustration on you," he said lowly.“What makes you think this is about you? Look, Zion, you are just an intern here and I advice you focus on what you're here for. Don't bother yourself about me, I'll be fine," she said coldly.

Poisoned
Zachary and Zade were at the prison in less than an hour to retrieve the body. The body was still warm suggesting that he just died recently.Elizabeth wasn't with them. She had gone in search of Helen as soon as she got off the phone with Zade. Zachary made sure she was heavily guarded. He didn't want anything to happen to her too.“So, may I know why my son who was entrusted in your care is lying lifeless on the floor,” he asked the chief officer.The man exchanged frightful glances with his colleagues. Words could not express how much trouble he'd gotten himself into. He was in the comfort of his home, ready to have dinner with his kids when the officers informed him of the situation.“We… we are working on it, sir. We don't know what killed him but I assure you I will get to the bottom of this,” the man shakily responded.“Not the response I want to hear. I'll ask you again. Why is the man who was entrusted in your care lying lifelessly on the floor?” Zachary asked again, his to

Murder
Her heart picked up as she noticed this strange car taking every turn she took. Once she arrived home, the car sped past but Elizabeth knew it wasn't completely gone. Hurrying to her father's room since her room was bugged, she took a look out the window. Just as she thought, it was packed at the other side of the road, directly facing her house. Elizabeth tried to make out the figure in the car but she couldn't tell who the driver if the driver was male or female because the glasses were tinted. With this person monitoring her, it was unsafe for her to stay home. Who knew how many cameras they planted in there. Shooting her father a quick text, she exited the house with two bodyguards. Her next destination was her grandfather's house. If she went to one of her penthouses or another mansion or even called someone to check the bugs in her room, it was very possible they could use it as an opening to plant more. Releasing the nudes was no problem. Anyone could tell from the footag

Stalker
Elizabeth was signing documents with Zion on the other side of the room answering emails. “Zion,” she called. “I'm not doing anything after work. If it's okay by you, I'd like to see Noah afterward.”There was no response from him. She looked up and found him buried in work. Of course, he wouldn't hear her. It was childish but she folded a paper plane and threw it at him. He looked up with a mortified expression that almost sent her wheezing in laughter.“I suppose that would be funny to you,” he said dryly.“Come on, you don't have to be so uptight. I only threw the plane at you because you were too engrossed in work to hear me,” she said lightly. His brows knotted together in displeasure. He was not enjoying the conversation.“I couldn't hear you because I am deaf,” he gritted. “Why are you being so cranky today? First, you get upset over a little joke and now, you're making it seem like I'm making fun of your disability and I don't like that. I was only asking if I could come o

Denial
“I am not dead yet, there is no need for y'all to pamper me,” Zachary complained.“We know you're fine, father, we just don't care. You just woke up and it is only right we take care of you until you are strong enough and well rested,” Elizabeth said. Zachary didn't like the sound of that. He did not like to be babied.“I don't plan to spend another day here. All you need to do is sign my discharge papers and I will be on my way…”“On your way to where?” Zade questioned. “Neither of us will sign those papers until we confirm you are fit to move.”“Fit to move? Was I diagnosed with paralysis? I can flex my legs as much as I want to. You kids are the ones making this a big deal,” He stated. “We don't care what you think. We will sign the papers only when we feel like,” Elizabeth crossed her arms stubbornly. Zachary glared at them, “If you don't sign those papers, I will…”“You’re smart, Grandpa. I expected you would understand that threatening us would not change anything,” Zade int
