The officer after sitting for hours left to get himself a cup of coffee. While the officer was away, the system matched the fingerprint to a man displaying a match percentage of 85% but after a minute the images started moving again. The officer returned to his seat and continued staring at the system screen. The system was finally done and it displayed two images. A man with 100% match and a woman with 100% match. The officer quickly printed out the results and headed for his boss's office. He entered the office after a gentle knock on the door."Sir, the system picked two people from the fingerprints," the officer reported."Let me see," the chief requested and accepted the printout from the officer's hand."Now listen carefully. If you want to keep your job here in this station, you will do exactly what I am going to tell you," the chief said after looking at the printout. "Drop the man and write your report on the woman," he added. "Your mum is still at the hospital and you and I k
"Now you have heard it for yourself. This is no gossip news," Devon said angrily while Patricia continued to stare at the TV screen stunned. "I should have had this girl arrested, detained or something the very first time I saw her. If I had, Elena would still be alive," he added through gritted teeth."Oh my God, this is all my fault," Susan cried drawing the attention of Patricia and Devon to herself. "I was the one who accepted her application when it was sent. I failed to do a thorough background check on her like I did with the others. I was blinded by the good CV she had and I added her to the selected applicants scheduled for the interview," she explained whimpering."Don't blame yourself, Susan. That girl is a deceiver. She is like a chameleon, changing her appearance to hide her true self. If she was able to deceive Bryce and deceive my family how could she not deceive you?" Devon consoled tapping Susan on the shoulder gently."What matters most is we now know who she is. I w
"Dad? Really?" Bryce said after reading the message on his father's notification screen. "Now the police reports to you? I thought you said you were not interfering with anything," he added and turned to leave."Bryce, I am not interfering with anything. I only ask the police to keep me updated on the case. This is my daughter we are talking about," Devon defended."Elena is my sister. I care about her. Angela is my wife and she is carrying my child. So I care about her too. They are both family. Something is not right and all I ask is time to unearth the truth and find the true murderer," Bryce said."You are in love with her and that is clouding your sense of reasoning. I would not let that girl harm my family," Devon said making Bryce halt in his steps. "For the sake of the child she is carrying which you claim to be yours, this is what I am going to do," he said and Bryce frowned hearing his father insinuate Angela could be lying about the true paternity of the child she is carryin
Another passerby drew closer and quickly called 911. Zora soon stepped out of the coffee shop to return to 13th Street, but after careful thinking, she decided to go to Elorm's place instead. She saw a gathering across the street but didn't bother to find out what was happening. She just got into a taxi and called Elorm to inform him she was coming to his place.At the police station, one of the officers entered the chief's office after a knock."Sir, another Moore has been gunned down," the officer reported."What!" the chief exclaimed. "When and how?" he asked a bit surprised."I got the news a few minutes ago that Mrs Patricia Moore has been shot. I have already deployed some of our men to the scene. The latest information I received said, she is still alive and being rushed to the hospital," the officer replied."Where did this happen?" the chief asked and the officer replied. "There is a witness. She will be brought down to the station soon," the officer replied."Good," the chi
At 20 Cooper Square, Brooklyn, Elorm was having fun with his male friends in the backyard of his two-bedroom apartment. They had the barbecue stand out and they were roasting some meat. Elorm's phone rang and he knew Zora was at the door."Mark, please take over. Zora is here. Please don't do your thing," Elorm said and the boys started making dog calls."Cut it out. Zora and I are good friends. Besties," Elorm said and the boys stopped. "Thank you," he said before heading back into the house. "Yeah, right," Fred commented after Elorm had left breaking the silence. "Who is he lying to, us or himself?" Grayson asked and they all laughed.Inside the house, Elorm opened the door and invited Zora in. "Welcome to my humble home. The boys are here. Just forgive them whatever they do. They can be troublesome sometimes?" Elorm informed Zora smiling and she made a face but quickly changed it into a smile. "Don't worry, I won't let them bother you," he assured her. Elorm walked Zora to the
The news quickly spread like wildfire across all social media platforms but Bryce and Devon had not yet seen it because these two were mourning Patricia, whose body was still lying in the cold room of the hospital. Marcus was with the other guards when he saw the news of Angela's arrest. He quickly made a call to someone after reading the news."Find out which police station Ms Angela was taken to. I need the information as soon as possible," Marcus said on the call and proceeded to the main house. Angela was moved towards one of the withholding cells at the station in handcuffs. The officer pushed her into the cell after taking the handcuffs off. Angela fell to the floor. The chief stood before the cell as soon as the officer locked it."Ms Angela Anderson, murderer of two Moore family members," the chief said. "Tell me, why?" he asked staring at Angela who was still sitting on the floor, her hair loose and covering her like a curtain."I didn't do it?" Angela whispered on her lips
Bryce was back in his home. He took a shower and changed into something more comfortable. He couldn't believe he had just lost his mother in less than 48 hours of burying his sister. The murder weapon used on his sister has been found and it points to Angela as the one who committed the crime. Investigations are still ongoing but Angela has been arrested and is now in a withholding cell. Bryce climbed into bed and rested his head on his pillow with his hand folded behind his head. He was still processing what happened at the station with Angela. Why can't he hate her for killing his sister? Angela is gorgeous, no doubt about it but that wasn't it. He was not lusting after her. There is something about her that makes him want to protect her aside from the fact that she effortlessly draws his feelings to the surface. "What did you do to me, Angela?" Bryce questioned. "And what did Elena do to you for you to harm her this way? Did you shoot my mum too?" he whispered on his lips.Meanw
Bryce sat there staring at his father, waiting to hear what his father would say about Angela's parents. He had already done his investigation and was already aware that Angela's parents were murdered. He was already aware Mr and Mrs Anderson adopted Angela when she was 13 years old but he still waited to hear what his father would say."Angela's father, Mr Adams and I were colleagues from the same college. That was where we met, in college. We became friends because we kind of shared the same business ideas. After college my uncle passed and since he didn't have any family and my parents were already gone, he left everything he had for me. I had enough to invest in a business idea we had. We got an additional two people on board and we became the first four CEOs of the business, A.A.M. Group. Even though it was my money, we divided the shares of the business equally because I believe we all contributed to the business. We were into jewellery designs and artefacts. We hit our target
Bryce stared at the document and laughed. He didn't even take it from Jay's hand. Jay pulled up his phone and was about to call the police but five officers entered."No need to call, we are already here?" the officer leading the officers said."Good, this man here is trespassing on private property," Jay reported."This is how I know you are fake," Bryce said. "Let me tell you a story," he said."When I noticed something about the Davis family wasn't right, I started doing my private investigation. I realized you were onto me. I tasked some people to watch you and report everything you do to me. I knew you were going to attack my home so, I had this fake document prepared and left there for you to pick up. I spoke with someone at the office and told him that if anyone comes to authenticate this document, they should confirm it's legit. I made you believe I was focusing my energy on your mother and my uncle but I was watching you. When your mother was sent to prison, I knew you would
Within a few minutes, all channels on the TV were announcing the change of ownership for Diamond Corporation, now PEG Industries. Ivan after addressing the employees and informing them of what to expect, had his people go through the employee's contracts. He terminated all employees who were above 6 months old in the company. To him, they have worked with Bryce and will be loyal to him. When he was done, he only had three employees left. Zora who was just a week old and two employees who were just two months old in the company. "You are Zora," Ivan said staring at Zora who had been brought to his office, the office used by Bryce."I am going to let you stay and work, as," Ivan said and picked up Zora's contract. "As HR manager. You will help my boy here recruit new employees starting tomorrow," he said. "I will reduce your salary by 40% because of your relationship with Bryce. This is your punishment. I am only keeping you because you knew your place when my lawyer announced me," he
Ivan left the living room, holding the company document and smiling from ear to ear. He climbed the staircase to his bedroom floor and walked down the hallway toward the huge master bedroom door at the end of the hallway. Two guards stood on either side of the door. As he approached, they opened the door for him."Bryce, Bryce, by sunrise, you will lose everything. I am now the new owner of your company and also have the documents that make you the heir of the Moore family," Ivan said and smiled.When Matilda Davis brought Bryce to the Davis family and presented him as the new Don, Ivan was worried, because he thought he was being trained to become the new Don. When he asked his mother, she told him to focus on his training. He had someone run an investigation on Bryce. After finding out about who Bryce was, he started monitoring him. When he realized Bryce was onto his mother, he also made his men move. He wanted to be the one to bring Bryce to his knees, so he kept his findings to h
She sent her location via text to Elorm and got up from behind the study desk. She put the documents into her drawer and walked towards her closet. She went through her clothes and grabbed a sexy black small dress. She slipped into the dress. She stood in front of the mirror and was about to apply some makeup when she remembered Martin."What if he is back home now?" Zora thought. She quickly thought of an excuse to give and still go out of the house. With a convincing thought in mind, she packed her makeup tools into her bag and grabbed a long jacket. She quickly wore it over her sexy small dress. She put on her shoes and exited her bedroom. She locked the door and started walking towards Martin's bedroom door. She stood behind Martin's bedroom door and knocked. She had already planned on what to tell Martin as soon as he opened the door. She waited a while and there was no response. She knocked again and tried opening the door and realized it was locked. She turned around and wal
"Take the device off Zora's phone once this is over. I will be right back," Martin said to Bernard and exited the office after Bernard had acknowledged. Martin left Bernard's office but didn't go up to Bryce's office. He walked toward Zora's office and opened the door without knocking. As he had suspected, Zora was not in her office. He already knew she was looking for the company's document. He left the place and walked towards the elevator. As soon as the elevator door opened and he stepped inside, Elorm took a peek at the hallway. He heard the footsteps in the hallway and next was Zora's office door opening which was the office next to his. This is why he came out to see who it was once he heard the elevator door open. He caught sight of Martin's back before he entered the elevator."Hmm, if I want I can take Zora away from you and you will not stand a chance. I know her better than you but that is not my motive now. It's a shame, you will all go six feet under soon," Elorm though
Bernard was in his office when his monitoring device picked up Elorm's conversation. He recorded everything.The day went by normally, with everyone in the office going about their duties. Elorm appeared to be showing how committed he was to his new job, which left Zora confused about who he was and his intentions. She knew there was no evidence that Elorm indeed poisoned Angela, but one thing was clear: He lied about his health condition."Was it to get my attention and get back with me?" Zora thought while sitting behind her desk in her office.She recalled things that had happened since the day Elorm showed her his medical report and she thought he was dying. He had kissed her that day. He unexpectedly kissed her again during the company launch and at the hospital, he almost took things beyond a mere kiss, had she not had the will to stop him. He was going to take her right there on the couch with Angela lying on a bed in a coma in the same room with them. "He just wanted to win m
"He used you to harm Angela. I am going to use you to punish him," Bryce said and Zora raised her head to stare at him. "Now listen to me carefully. Tomorrow, you will go to the office and act normal. By normal I mean he must know that you know his correct health status. Onboard him and let him start work," he added and Zora expressed confusion."Is that all that I am supposed to do?" Zora asked staring at Bryce."Yes, give him the job, and don't change your attitude toward him," Bryce echoed, and Zora nodded. "I am done," he said and at that moment Angela woke up."Zora, you are here?" Angela said drawing everyone's attention in her direction. Zora smiled and walked up to her and stood by her bedside. She held Angela's hand in hers and smiled."I am glad you are awake. How are you?" Zora asked and Angela smiled.Bryce and Martin just stared at the two women chatting."Where is mummy and daddy?" Angela asked and Zora turned to look at Bryce and Martin."They travelled," Bryce quickly
"What are you talking about?" Zora tried to play smart."Who is he?" Martin questioned and showed the picture to Zora. Zora stared at the image of Elorm on Martin's screen and gulped. "It's not what you think. He didn't do anything. I was with Angela when he left." Zora tried to shield Elorm and Martin frowned."So why did you lie about it the first time?" Martin asked."He is my friend and he has cancer. He is dying. I didn't want you to add him to your list of suspects. He is a good man," Zora defended."Is he your ex?" Martin asked and Zora lowered her head."Yes," Zora replied in a low tone. "He broke up with me when he found out about his health. He didn't want to drag me into his problems," she added."So you want to go back to him?" Martin asked and Zora raised her head to stare at his face."No," Zora replied with a frown."So why were you kissing him? I saw you twice. Is it part of a healing process?" Martin asked feeling hurt about Zora meeting up with her ex."I didn't ki
Martin stared at her carefully. Zora's heart raced in her chest and Martin picked something staring into her eyes. She appeared to be hiding something."Zora, tell me the truth. I know someone came here. Don't lie to me," Martin said and Zora hardened her heart.She couldn't bring herself to give Elorm away. She was sure Elorm didn't do anything to Angela. If anything, she believed someone may have come in after Elorm left."I was alone with Angela. I left to use the washroom. When I came back, I didn't see anything amiss. I sat down and dosed off. I heard some beeping sound and opened my eyes. I was greeted with the scene of people surrounding Angela's bed," Zora narrated."How long were you in the washroom?" Martin asked."I am not sure but I was there for a while," Zora replied and Martin frowned."What were you doing in the washroom?" Martin asked trying to calculate how long Zora was in the washroom and the possibility of someone entering Angela's ward and exiting without her not
