Until she met him 233. Mysterious “A”
Following the few hours after the declaration of Mira Li’s death, it was hectic and chaotic for Jane Li who was in a different country minding her. The news made it into the media in their country immediately and the bloggers ate up the news and the circumstances around her death. It was on the front page of a lot of news papers within minutes and was constantly going to be on news paper stands for days to come. It was already the trending news on social media in different countries within an hour of the news making it way on social media. It also didn’t help matters that the media in her new country had started harassing Jane every turn of the way immediately the news hit them. Her picture and that of Mira was pasted on the front pages of a lot of blogs reporting the news, her location and where she worked was probably ratted out by someone who knew her in the neighborhood. She didn’t initially understand what was going on until Leonardo showed her what he stumbled upon on social medi

Jane looked at Leonardo with a frown,”A mistress? It isn’t surprising. My dad-Ken Li had a lot of mistresses that I’ve even lost count of them. Which one is it this time? Linda? Yvonne? Manda? Or it is the mysterious A?”, Jane stated in a hard voice.“Mysterious A?”, Alexander asked curiously.“Oh yes! I knew he’s been having an affair with a young woman for years now but kept her hidden. His affairs were never hidden but he kept her in particular hidden all this years and no one in our circle know her. We all know her by “A” because that’s how he refers to her all those years without giving away her identity.” Jane replied him angrily because she felt he was distracting her.“I see, it makes sense then. I doubt you know the identity of his mistress but I can guarantee you that you know her very well. In fact you know her personally.” Alexander muttered sadly whilst squeezing his face in disgust.“Who is she?”, Jane asked firmly with her fingers fisted in a tight ball.“Amira Li, your

The days following the death of Mira Li was a tiring one. The media got hint of Alexander’s involvement in the case and the attention the family got was over the roof. The kids couldn’t go to school freely because of the harassment from the media and no one came to them nor left the house for days. They initially thought it was one of those cases that the media would eventually get tired and leave them alone but time revealed to them that the paparazzi and the media won’t be leaving them anytime soon unless they got what they came to estate in the first place. The media was here to stay. They tried to ignore them until it got so bad that Romeo Huss and his men had to get involved and get rid of them for their peace of mind. Since Romeo and his men got rid of them about two days ago, they’ve been enjoying some peace of mind in their household and the kids even went to school earlier in the morning with their driver and some security escorts. Alexander and the rest of the family decided
Until she met him 236. The Hide and Seek
When they heard the door shut softly behind them, after overcoming their initial shock, they turned slowly to see the person at the door. “Hi everyone!”, the stranger exclaimed in an oddly happy tone but his facial expression was anything but happy. He was a stranger to Jake, Carlos, Philip and even Richard but by all means wasn’t a stranger to the others in the room.The new comer stood frozen at the door without knowing his next action, his expression awkward because of several pair of eyes eying his movements. Jake and Carlos shared a strange look with Richard and Philip before moving into action.Carlos stood in front of his sister protectively as Jake, Richard and Philip sized up the muscular new comer. Alexander frowned when he saw how his best friends were suddenly behaving in the presence of his new friend before it occurred to him that they don’t know him and he happens to be a stranger to them. Alexander chuckled loudly and shook his head repeatedly in amazement.He pushed t

“Fuck!”, exclaimed Philip in shock. He never knew that innocent looking girl could be capable of such wickedness and terror.“Shit! That’s messed up!”, shouted Carlos as he shuddered.“Damn! So she killed Ken, her lover so gruesomely? That’s wicked!”, Jake cried out. Romeo cleared his throat loudly to get their attention.“Mmm about that, the new evidence gathered shows that the body we retrieved in that freezer wasn’t Ken Li but a homeless beggar that went missing around the same time the alleged body was found.” Romeo voiced out nervously with his face flushed in humiliation. The humiliation he was feeling wasn’t just for himself but his entire police department as well. They allowed themselves to be tricked by that evil man and his young mistress and almost ended up destroying the entire case. Strangely enough, their police commissioner isn’t in a rush to come out immediately and declare that the body found wasn’t Ken Li’s. He wasn’t in a rush to make the public announcement about t

Romeo closed his eyes tightly and sighed deeply, why he can’t speak of things Evelyn did was because it was too heavy on his lips to say. It was too humiliating for his lips to say out loud. Alexander eyed him and spoke to him sternly, “we are waiting Romeo, tell us now because it will eventually be made public and the shame and humiliation you are avoiding now would surely be made public to the world.” Romeo sighed again and took in a deep breathe, the shameful act of Evelyn was too evil to talk about, “she-she was involved in multiple sexual affairs in the department and some prominent members that’s are now being hidden by the power they hold and…..she was also into human trafficking and selling of body parts in the black market.” Romeo told them shamefully as his face flushed red in humiliation. Taking a look at their shocked and gaped mouth expressions, he wanted the ground to open up swallow him from the surface of the earth. The room became so quiet like a graveyard and even a

Romeo closed his eyes tightly and cussed out loud,”fuck it! I don’t want a word of any information I will be giving here, I don’t want it to leave this room. I can’t wait to be done with this fuck case because it is causing me a lot of headache and my morals! This is too draining and suffocating because for the first time, I’m now thorn between doing what is right, what is wrong and what feels right and sincerely speaking, I can’t decide which path I want to take.” Alexander turned around to face Alice then at the guys before he spoke on the behalf of all of them present in the room.“You have our word, whatever you say here, stays here with us and not a soul away from this group will hear the wind of it. This is my promise to you.” Alexander muttered to him with a sincere voice and soft nod. Romeo nodded unconsciously with his mind turning against him as he glance at them numbly. He took a deep breathe and just hoped from the button of his heart that he was about to do the right thin

Alexander sat quietly in the couch and leaned back a bit as he observed both Richard and Romeo, especially their body language and facial expression. He turned quietly to glance at Philip who felt the hot gaze at the side of his face and turned to him. The two stared at each other for sometime before the light bulb light up in Alexander’s mind and recognition became evident to him. He gasped softly and turned to Richard in shock but before he could master the strength and confront him, Romeo cleared his throat loudly to get their attention.“Richard right? I don’t know what I’ve ever done to you since I came inside but I don’t do married women and I most certainly don’t do any woman. They are not exactly my mmm-preference, my name might be Romeo but I’m not like that Romeo in literature. I can proudly say I am my authentic self and I prefer the opposite of things he likes.” He verbalized and checked out Richard who was blushing openly like a school boy. Everyone in the room suddenly un
