~ ~ Ryan ~ ~ Alina entered the house, fuming in anger, she kept muttering in coherent words under her breath. She had refuses to go to their family house to mourn.After the big drama with her mother, she had ignored her mother, kissed Javier goodbye, glared at me as if I was the cause of the problem in the room and stormed out of the room.As her husband, I silently paid my respect to Javier and went after her. Neither of us said anything to each other on the way home. People had different way of mourning and I didn't know if she wanted to be left alone or not. "It's fine of you want to heed to your mother words. I won't ask you to forsake your family because of me. Above all, family comes first."She whipped her head around, glaring at me silently."What?" I ask her, "Did I say something wrong?""Are you stup!d?" She fired angrily, "I just lost Grandpa and that's what you have to say?" " Do you want me to get you anything?" I countered back. She nods her head, "Your just as

~ ~ Ryan ~ ~ The family had sent a car to come take us to the location. It was an open burial and he was going to be buried on the family cemetery land. Mrs Bruce glared at me the instant we arrived at the scene. It wasn't only her, though, everyone in the family, not excluding Alina herself. I don't know which Alina is more mad about, the fact her favourite grannie is dead or a lady got me a set of clothes or that I am wearing that same clothes to get grandfather's burial.I don't own a suit and I needed to pay respect to the only family member that didn't treat me as trash and took me in wholeheartedly. I had so much things to do with Javier once I claimed my rightful place, but sadly, it's never going to happen. Everyone looked suspicious to me as I am damn sure Javier was murdered, and from my point of view, he knew who wanted him dead and yet he allowed it to happen. After Alina paid her last respects to him, and I walked forward to pay mine, I was stopped by two hefty bounc

** ** **Alina entered the family house, her face void of emotion.She noticed the family were gathered around like they were waiting for someone. Ryan was at the furthest corner of the room, watching them. "Glad to see you know your way back home." Alina's mother smirked."What is going on?" Alina asks with a frown. They were supposed to be mourning, why does the atmosphere seem tensed."We have been waiting for you." Sasha said in response."Me??" Alina's frown deepened,. "Why?""Hi Alina." Alex muttered, waving at her, "How are you coping with Javier's death?""You see.... Such a caring potential husband." Alina's mother snapped, "I doubt your so called husband has asked about your well being.""I won't stand here and tolerate you insult Ryan, mother.""She didn't say husband.." Sasha muttered to Alina's mother, "That's a good sign. She is probably having second thoughts and considering Alex.""Now that everyone is here, we may proceed." Mrs Bruce announced. "Proceed with what?

That was the first time Ryan openly a knowledged her as his Wife. Eleanor expression changed, her smile dimming."Oh... Hi.." she waved at Alina. "Hi..." Alina nutters quietly, suddenly feeling self conscious. Ryan sneaked a peek at her. She keeps acting different and doing unexpected things. He has always known her as a spoilt brat, he was even shocked when she agreed to marry him."Where are you both going?" Eleanor asks."Are you stalking me?" Ryan counters."No.... I came to see a friend down the road and I came across you. I see you are still wearing the clothes.." Ryan kept mute staring at her coldly, Alina stared at both of them, putting pieces together."She's the lady that got you the clothes?" "Right!" Eleanor interrupts, "I didn't get to say the main reason I stalked you earlier today."Ryan kept mute, raising an

At first I didn't know what was exactly stolen until this morning when I prepared to come here and read the will.""So you are saying without the seal we can't lay claim to our share of the inheritance?"Jeffery asks."The rule is only applicable to Alina. Every other person don't have a problem.""Seems you ran out of luck this time." Mrs Bruce said to her daughter.Alina kept quiet loss on what to say and angry."I want an autopsy performed on Javier." She announced.A resounding slap landed on her face instantly. A low gasp erupted in the room, breaking the silence.It was Grandma Joan!"How dare you say that filthy word!!?" Grandma Joan shrieked, "Autopsy on the dead and buried?!"Alina held her cheek, staring at her Grandma defiantly."What exactly is your problem?! These days you are becoming more of a rebel than a granddaughter.

*** *** ***A ride??!" Alina couldn't contain her excitement this time, "That's so cool, isn't it Ryan.""Yes, definitely!!" Ryan said boredly. "So cool."The car arrived, it was a 2017 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class. Alina jaw dropped in shock, although her family is rich but getting this car is top notch. Only very few people have been able to get the model in the country and by few, she meant just three people. "How do people spend money on stuffs like this to make other people happy?" She whispers to Ryan.Ryan doesn't say anything, his eyes was focused on the car, it was a really nice car and sleek, just the way he used to like his cars.The clown opened the car and motioned for them to enter, "Come on, let's not keep the poor man waiting." She wanted to pull him but she didn't know how he would react if she touched him, so she kept her hands to herself instead and led the way.The clown blew them a kiss, waving at them as the car drove off. The couple were met with a bottle of ch

*** *** ***"Hey." Alina whispers, coming out of the kitchen with two cup of coffee, to the cut out living room.She offers one to Ryan, her expression apologetic. "I'm so sorry about earlier.""Oh... It's fine." Ryan answers, collecting the coffee she offered to him. "You're not bothered?" Alina asks, sitting opposite him. "No.." Ryan answered.Silence descended on them, neither of them talking. Alina on her part didn't know how to start a conversation with her husband, especially as he was only giving monosyllabic response. "How come you are never bothered?" Ryan shrug in response, his focus on the coffee he's drinking. "I wonder how you do it.." "Do what?? It's nothing to be bothered about." ",Hmm.."", I've never seen you angry..." Alina continued, in an attempt to keep the conversation going."I rarely get angry.""That's a nice characteristic. I wish I could be like that." "It's nothing." Ryan said calmly.Another silence descended on them. Seeing they weren't get

*** *** "We both lied to each other.." Alina mumbled under her breath, enough for Ryan to hear.Ryan said nothing in response, and instead just kept looking at her.He contemplated on whether to tell her about his suspicions or not but he didn't want to bother her. Deciding on the latter, Ryan turned on his heels to leave."I will come back another time." He tells her, and made to rush back and ask the men to stop. Alina's voice stopped him mid air, "you also think he was murdered, don't you?"Ryan whips his head around fast to face her."Because why else would you come here with a shovel?" Alina added.",I could have other bad motives.""But you don't." Alina said firmly."What makes you think he was murdered?" Ryan asks."His lawyer mentioned he didn't say anything about being sick and knowing Javier, if something was happening to him, he would tell someone he feels he can trust just in case things go side ways." "That's enough for you to conclude?" She nods, "more than enough.

**** "I don't understand you" I continued when we entered the car "if I'm to be treated like a queen, why are you driving when we have an entire entourage behind us?" I asked "Because I'm treating you like a queen, durh" "I'll think of you as my driver then" I smiled satisfactorily. "I have a very juicy news" he licked his lips. "I can see it's really juicy for you to lick your lips, did you taste the juice?" He glared at me and concentrated on driving. Knowing him, I knew he would continue talking. "My three year old girl is dying to see you. She even decorated her bedroom and expects you to share the room with her" he said admiringly. "I knew she would always be smart, smarter than her father who paid an entire entourage to accompany us home" "It's was her idea, so that means I'm smarter" he bit his cheeks to surpress himself from laughing. "Wow that's so smart of her, she deserves a medal." I replied wiping the smile off his face. "Hmph.." he

Five years later, Courtney I stood at the arrival terminal in the airport, looking for my ride home. I had travelled to Europe for college with the help of Div and Donald and graduated with an upper class in law. I specifically chose to major in law so I can lend my voice to those that are voiceless. I saw a flag raised up with the name CounterKnee. I shook my head and walked to the person who was busy chatting away on his phone with a big smile on his face. I smacked him on the arm "Didn't I tell you not to call me CounterKnee?" I playfully glared at him. "What do you expect me to do when I miss you so much?" He grinned at me "Should I blush now or what?" "None, a hug will do" I hugged him tight "it's been five years" "I know right, it feels like yesterday and it also feels like ages ago" We disengaged from the hug and he collected my luggages from me, leading me to sleek car and I noticed an entourage. "Please don't tell me you hired

Donald "I knew something was up with that Uncle of yours. I never liked him." Mum said after I narrated everything to her. "I still can't believe he tried to kill me and Courtney." "I haven't told your father about it. You mentioned Div just now?" "Yeah, he's the one that helped" "That's new, the Div I heard about is cruel and he's a Drug Lord." Mum explained. "A drug Lord? Courtney got herself involved with a drug Lord? Is that why the police man saluted to him" "Maybe..... I'll head over to the police station. They should wrap up the case, we aren't making any charges. He's dead, we don't need to mention his case in court." I shrugged and eyed mother who was staring at me with mischief. I went over and hugged her tightly. "About Courtney" mum started. "Don't even go there mum..... don't" I disengaged from the hug and flashed her a grin then went to the kitchen where I met Flynn and Eva cooking. It was a sight to behold. "We're sorry,

"What contract you signed with mother ends today, I'll give you the money" My heart plummeted down, I wanted the money for college so I can't rent an apartment till I apply. "I want to work for my money" I argued "No, you've worked enough. I'm going to sponsor you to college and you can always consider this place as home" I wanted to raise my head and look at him. He pressed my head back against his chest "No don't look at me" "Thank you" I said with so much sincerity. "You deserve it CounterKnee" " Sorry to break you guys up, but what the heck happened?" Another voice said "Mum" Donald cried out, not masking the surprise in his voice. His mum?!

"Know the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw you?" He asked, his chin resting on my head. I shook my head negatively against his chest. "Who's this fierce beautiful petite lady with wild chestnut hair who isn't afraid of my cold aura and broke through, now I have a warm heart willing to love." "What do you think when you see now, after you know, everything?" I asked "Wow, my bossy maid is one hell of a strong woman, beautiful and fierce at the same time, selfless too. She's one of the people I hold dear to my heart now." I blushed, surprised someone still thinks of me as beautiful. "What contract you signed with mother ends today, I'll give you the money"

ourtney ️ I watched helplessly as the policemen took Div away. "I'll be okay and probably be back in the night" he said as they took him away but that didn't alleviate my worry. Killing Simon was self defense, the police should know that. Seeing I wasn't convinced "what about bringing your flowers this night?" I smiled and nodded in agreement. After he left with the police, an ambulance came to carry Simon's corpses and I was asked to vacate the room without cleaning as they need evidence. I packed my belongings and moved them to Donald's room. I sat on his bed, reminiscing. Simon is really dead, my nightmare is gone. It still felt surreal. Donald entered and sat quietly beside me. "I'm so sorry Nora, I'm sorry I didn't believe you" he pleaded. I looked at him and placed my hands on his, "If I were you, I wouldn't have believed a stranger over my blood too so I'm not angry."

Shocks
Donald I entered the room and stood in shock as I watched Uncle fall slowly to the ground with a strange man holding a gun. I glanced at Nora, she was holding a gun too. Where did she get the gun? "Who the fuck are you?" I wanted to ask but the words died down in my mouth when I saw her run to the strange man. For a moment, my heart surged with gratitude towards the strange man. He save Nora. I didn't mind that Uncle is dead, after all he had been planning to kill me too. "Who are you?" I wanted to ask again but the police men interrupted this time. They looked at the gun in the strange man's hand and Simon's corpse. "You are under arrest sire" The police man saluted before talking which only made me more curious. Who exactly is this man standing here??

*** After I killed him, she ran over and hugged me, surprising me completely. My sister was the only person that could hug me, here, another person is taking her place. I hugged her back not caring about the person behind me who should be the owner of the house. Hugging another person after a long while felt good and refreshing so I held on to her, not worried about the blood seeping into my clothes. "B-bo-boss" Jeff stammered. "Just kneel and raise your hands up till I come back and clean the mess here" "W-where are you going?" "Police station." Just as I said it, a batch of policemen entered fully armed and took in the state of the room including the kneeling Jeff.

DIV While I asked Jeff to stay guard of the house, I also stationed two more people. When I got report that Simon was heading to her room and destroying things in his bedroom, I knew he was going to do something other than having sex with her this night. So I got into my car and drove as fast as I could. I told her I won't let his blood stain her hands and I'm a man of my words. I'm not going to let her go to jail because of him. I couldn't protect my sister then and she's going to be angry if I don't help Nora. I entered in time to see him choking her and her pulling the gun I gave her out. I stood, watching the entire exchange, waiting for the right time to make a move. When he pointed the gun at her, I pulled my gun out and was about shooting. Then she threw the lamp at his hand, aiming perfectly. She picked the gun quickly and made to aim. I took action then and killed him. From my research, the Simon of a man has about twenty more people in ca
