Secrets Revealed
So yesterday was fun, Diamond got to spill almost everything in her pretty little mind before falling asleep in the kitchen. I had to drag her to her room. Thank God Jude didn’t return.
I got to discover that her dad had houses in the interior parts of Lagos where he hides some of the money he has been able to steal in form of gold bars plus other secret properties.
He was actually having extra marital affairs with my mum and some of the money he stole was in her possession. That explains all the money my mum usually brings home whenever she returns from so called ‘Dubai’.
She even gave me specific details of the hotel that they always meet at. Turns out that her mum doesn’t know about all this.
Jude on the other hand, had a girl he was supposed to marry. Her name was Viv. (So she was the girl that they were talking about the other day).Jude beat her one day and she accidentally slipped and fell from the stairs leading to her death.
The fiancee was also pregnant with Jude’s baby and as such, they covered up the murder declaring her missing. Diamond however has the videos of the murder and the cover-up.
Turns out, everyone’s secret was out in the open.
All I needed now is the necessary proof. And I need to get the word out. I hope that the pizza guy will be back soon so I can find a way to get the information across to Francis and my dad.
I got out of the bathroom to find Diamond sitting up on the bed with head buried in her palms.
She has a hangover and turns out she doesn’t remember anything that happened yesterday. She slept all through the afternoon till the next morning.
My mum visited in the afternoon. I got out to meet her in the sitting room waiting for me. I was so irritated by her presence. What does she want?
I descended the stairs and stood at akimbo opposite her with a frown plastered on my face.
‘What do you want now mum?’ I asked angrily
‘Jude says you have been giving him a tough time’ She replies quickly in a surprised tone not the usual ‘Im the boss’ tone.
‘I don’t owe you any explanation mum, I’ve done everything you want now you want to turn me into a Slut? That’s not happening! You better run from me! I yelled and stormed out of the room.
You should see the look on her face! Shock mingled with surprise equals something priceless.
I was surprised that I had such boldness in me. I’m done bowing to all her demands. Their days are numbered anyway.
I was resting on the balcony of the building’s third floor when I saw her cars driving out of the residence. Good riddance! I’m sure she will think twice next time she wants to give me any orders.
I have more on my mind than to waste my time to think about my mum’s dramatic and selfish lifestyle.
I got back inside the moment her cars were outside the gate. What a relief!
I got into the house and saw Diamond sitting on one of the sofas watching TV. I joined her in the seat close to her. She was still suffering from the after effects of the drugs.
I partly pitied her because she was a nice person and partly blamed her for possessing such evidence but chose to stay quiet about it. Jude killed someone, that’s really scary! I need to get out of here before I also end up in a body bag.
Dinner was ready and we both sat on the table to eat without saying anything to each other. She sat there playing with her food. I guess those are still among the side effects of whatever was in that pizza.
Francis’ POV
Me and Sam are currently in a hotel room as we are watching a video of Jude’s father and Marie’s mum kissing in a hotel. In case you are wondering how we got to know about their affair, the waist chain I gave to Marie at the wedding reception was both a GPS and listening device. Her father had it customized and imported from China.
Turns out that Diamond was telling the truth after all. (Truth Drugs work)
We now have something against Marie’s mum.
Two Days Later 🙃
Marie’s dad, Sam and I were at a birthday party where Marie’s mum happened to be the planner. We have paid someone to dress up as one of the caterers and lure her out to where we were.
She finally walked into the Janitor’s closet with the caterer who immediately ran out and locked the door from outside.
We emerged from hiding to see her banging on the door and yelling for help. The music in the main hall was too loud so nobody could hear her.
Author’s PoV
Hi Sarah! Davis says (Davis is Marie’s dad).
She turns immediately towards him as soon as she heard his voice
‘Why I’m I not surprised? So this is your doing huh!
Now open this darn door because I have an event to get back to. She yelled angrily. She was also frightened as well.
Davis took a seat with Sam and Francis standing on both sides. While Sarah stood there red with anger and fright.
Davis nodded looking at Sam who opened the laptop and placed it on the table turning the screen towards Sarah whose eyes and mouth opened wide in shock before she regained her normal composure.
So you want to blackmail me too? She says laughing sarcastically
Francis and Sam turned to look at each other with surprise and disappointment. Both of them had expected her to be shocked and quickly agree to turn over the evidence to Davis but Sarah was tougher than that.
Well, you can go ahead and do what ever you want just open the door. She added with standing at akimbo.
‘You’re bluffing’ Davis interjects as he dips his hands into his jacket pocket and takes out a Cuban cigar while Sam helps him to light it.
No you’re the one who is bluffing. Sarah adds as she takes a seat with a little smirk on her face.
I have the upper hand here no matter what you do.
She continues with a sly smile playing on her lips.
Fine! Davis says as he turns the laptop screen towards himself, quickly punching a few keys and within seconds the video was sent.
Sarah realising what had just happened rushed over to him and snatched the laptop from him smashing it on the floor.
Davis wasn’t bluffing. He meant business.
Too late Sarah, I want my daughter and the evidence or heads will roll. He spat out venomously and hit the table before he goes to the door and unlocks it with Francis and Sam behind him.
Sarah sat there frozen and batting her artificial lashes as she fought back the tears that threatened to fall down her face.
Her hardwork of lobbying to get her boyfriend (or man friend) to the position of governor was now impossible. Once the news gets out, the party would drop him and Jude’s mother is going to kill her.
I won’t give up the evidence. She said to herself as she walked out the door through the hallway and into the main hall where the guests were busy with their dancing and eating spree.
She walked out quickly from the hall straight to where her car was and got in shutting the door violently yelling at the driver to get going.
The driver complied as the car fought it’s way through the multiple cars in the parking lot.
