Chapter Fifty-Five – ID PassBethany packed the broken clock into a book and handed it to Lucas to discard when the door to the room was banged open. His heart flew to his mouth in fright but his face didn’t show it. “Huh? Miss Selene? What are you doing in Dominic’s room?” he asked with a lightly annoyed expression. The twins looked at the lady with slightly annoyed expressions too. That was the lady who scolded there father all the time. Lucas has given them a clue. Selene shook her head. “I could ask the same of you, Mr. Bethany.” She was so tired of having to run around for proof while the two that should help her were busy sharing a bed! “Oh, is this a reoccurring act? You visiting Dominic in his room? That’s suspicious. That’s weird.” Bethany raised a brow. The little boys in the room didn’t understand, but they didn’t like Selene so had an encouraging look. A large bear plushy was thrown at Bethany’s face but he caught it in time. A small girl he hadn’t seen befor
Chapter Fifty-Six – Anderson Dominic opened the door and walked in, he left it open for Selene. The place was buzzling and like usual, no one knew who was coming in and out. That was how loud it was. “Who are we looking for?” Dominic asked as they got inside. This person supposedly knew about Mrs. Jones. “Augustus Arthur Junior Duncan…..” Selene replied. Junior? Dominic had a horrified expression. That was his cousin? Could he have been working with Mrs. Jones? “Note, I don’t think he’s working with Mrs. Jones.” Selena said, making Dominic calm down. “The Duncans don’t have any reason to kill your aunt, uncle and grandmother.” Dominic agreed. They detested his family but would never go that far. He looked into Selene’s phone to see the young man’s picture. Dominic remembered seeing someone like that in the video of his mother, Augustus Arthur had given him. He was probably the first grandchild of the Duncan family. “There.” Selene began moving. Dominic followed her. A
Chapter Fifty-Seven – Drama Anderson left his seat and followed Dominic, confused. Was the man going to cause trouble with one of them purposely? Dominic’s eyes darted about, till it landed on him. He nodded, stretching his hand towards Anderson and giving him car keys. “Walk up to him, make this key visible then tell him Dominic Thales wants to speak to him. Don’t worry, he’d be sure to accuse you of something.” Dominic smirked. Accused him of something? Anderson looked at the man he was to speak to. Wasn’t that Freud? His rival. He didn’t want to speak to the man, he had nothing to speak to him about. Still, Anderson took the key and walked up to where Freud sat, with his secretary. “Um, hello… there’s someone who wants to…” Freud sprang from his couch on seeing him, he hadn’t even seen the keys. “Anderson! Scion cars, right? Oh, did you come to rub it on my face that your new model will be successful?” What? Anderson frowned. He wouldn’t even know if it’d be successf
Chapter Fifty-Eight – BreakfastWhy were they in a taxi? Selene groaned as the taxi driver changed the song she was enjoying. “And the car?” “I returned it to the owner. Sorry about that. I didn’t realize that we’d still need it.” Dominic sighed, rubbing his temples. “I will like to drop home first though. Brielle wants the kids back.” Selene shrugged. “I’d go ahead to the company. Make sure you drop by, with Bethany too, so I’d discuss my findings with you two. I wouldn’t like to repeat myself.” Dominic smiled internally but said nothing. Bethany might need to drop Bobo somewhere before he comes but Selene didn’t need to know or she’d rake. The taxi stopped at the entrance of his estate and he alighted and watched it leave. “She can’t even tell her boss goodbye.” The lady was impossible. He took his phone and tried calling his house line but no one answered. He hastened his steps. Could it be that Bethany kidnapped all his kids and ran away? A sigh left him as he real
Chapter Fifty-Nine – India Selene dropped the pictures she took from a nearby CCTV. “Augustus Arthur Junior, or Neon, had said that he met Mrs. Jones at the airport to India.” Bethany looked at the pictures, then looked up. “Why are you calling him Neon though? First name basis already?” Dominic had been curious about it but didn’t say it out. With how the man had stared at Selene, he could only assume Neon was being friendly and flirty in moderation. But Selene looked offended with Bethany’s remark. Basically, all his remarks that day offended her, she worked her ass off to speak with strange people yet he only ask unimportant things. “That doesn’t matter, does it? Mrs. Jones going to India, for whatever reason, should be your priority.” She pointed at him.Bethany frowned, staring intently at her to determine whether she was being oblivious or naïve. “Yeah, Mrs. Jones is priority.” With that settled, Selene turned to Dominic. “Could you call Casimir and Jean to ask if
Chapter Sixty – India IIDominic remembered how their car was attacked when he was bringing Lucas back from school. He truly had no security anywhere. “I hear you. I’d be more careful.” Jamie nodded and made to leave before turning back around. “You do know there’s a kitchen in this building, don’t you?” Kitchen? “How? Like it’s attached to the company?” Dominic raised a brow, before slowly realizing. Indeed, there was, when he was younger, he usually had all his meals made for him. His grandfather never ordered and provided a high class chef that came every day to make meals. “Then how did you think I made the meal you ate with Mr. Augustus Arthur Duncan? Fairy Magic?” Jamie frowned. “You’re so absentminded.” A grim spread across Dominic’s face. “I’m sorry, I didn’t really think of it. Well, if it wouldn’t cost you much, I will be looking forward to another meal from you.” “Very well then.” Jamie smiled before leaving. Dominic felt his stomach dance, finally it’d be able t
Chapter Sixty-One – Shit workersWhat’s with everyone around him talking about India? Dominic frowned, looking at the bag of snacks. His best friend raised a brow. “That’s where I’m heading too. My girl is from India.” Dominic hoped it was a joke Silas was making. India? He was leaving for India after he just came to him? He left his seat. “We’ve a suspect of murder on the run at India? Is this related to that? Or you’re seriously about to go meet some girl at India when I need your help?” Dominic enquired. His best friend was quite surprising in different ways so maybe he had been filled up about the case from Selene. Dominic would like to hope on it. But Silas’ confused facial expression slowly killed the hope Dominic was hoping unto. He knew nothing, didn’t he? After helping him get the rental service on, he disappeared. “What have you been doing?” Dominic asked, maybe it would be something selfless like charity to poorer countries. That’d be forgivable. A smirk sprea
Chapter Sixty-Two – AshamedNow, it gave Dominic heartaches and regrets for getting married to someone who’d hurt him like that. And what did Brielle mean by thanking him for taking care of HIS OWN KIDS? “It was at the plane I realized I didn’t tell you they’re staying the night. I can’t keep them with my mom because they trouble her and she’s negligent. You know.” Brielle chuckled softly. What was she rambling on? Dominic placed the phone on the table without keeping it on loud speaker. She could ramble on forever. He was hungry and didn’t have any patience left. He noticed she cut the call and he exhaled in relief. But the phone began ringing almost immediately. “This lady never gives up.” It was a trait he liked in her but now, it was annoying. He answered again. “Hello.” “I was speaking but you weren’t responding so I thought there was a connection issue.” Her voce was slightly raised, like she knew he wasn’t responding purposely. “What do you want, Brielle?” Dominic
