Twisted Fate

How can the CCTV footage suddenly become faulty? It doesn’t go faulty just like that and besides, it shouldn’t be all the CCTV footage.

There must be more than one footage in every corner of the hotel not to say of a large hotel like the one in question.

He perceived a foul play. Something is not right. He was guessing someone must have deliberately deleted the footage.

“Can I just have a look at the wallet, I might be able to find the owner” Kamal said flippantly as if he was just trying to help.

“Oh sure,” Kate said and produced the wallet. Kamal just perused it and looked further, he found the name and already took a proper look at the passport.

“No, not a familiar face,” he said, returning the wallet to her. Kate took it back and placed it in her handbag.

It wasn’t quite a few minutes, Alex Foster called. He saw who was calling and excused himself.

“I need to see you tonight..” Alex declared and told Kamal to meet him in the company.

When Kamal returned, he told Kate they would talk again and offered to drop her off.

Alex doesn’t feel like leaving the company. He wanted to have a private discussion with his investigator. What’s the use of returning home when no one is excited to see him.

After Ella’s harsh words to him the previous evening, he wasn’t in the slightest mood to see her.

Kamal arrived at the Foster corporation and went to see Alex. “Anything that would interest me?”Alex asked, his mind working fast on a possibility.

“Mr Foster, Jim has a connection with Nicolas Anderson. They had met secretly. I think there’s something we should find out about them”Kamal reported.

Alex Brow was deeply introverted. Nicolas Anderson was the man he suspected. Somehow he got some information from Lisa back then.

And remembering that his mother wanted to pronounce a certain name before she died, he discovered that there was no way one could pronounce the name Nicolas without having his tongue at the roof of the mouth.

And now, Jim was found to be having a secret appointment with him. Something isn’t right?

This Jim was supposed to be his brother-in-law. But he was always trying to get closer to him and Alice isn’t vigilant enough.

Lisa Anderson was still not found. Where could she be? He hadn’t given that a thought.

Was Nicolas Anderson the man who hated his father so much and wanted him dead, or better still, murdered him? What could they probably be having a tussle over?

Once Lisa told him her father was obsessed with a woman. She said her father could go any length to achieve his aim.

She had said it one of those days when they went on a vacation together. She said it by accident and despite trying to get more words from her, he couldn’t.

What exactly is going on?

The next morning, Alex was awakened by the alarm coming from his phone.

He gently opened his eyes and looked around the room. He had slept in his Villa. He didn’t return to the mansion but chose to spend the night in one of his Villa’s.

He sometimes comes over to the villa whenever he wants to be alone, away from people. He does a lot of research and brainstorming in the Villa and it house’s a lot of documents, different from the ones in his other house.

Alex had stayed up all night searching for more information about Jim. Finally, he got some clues that led him to believe that he was a drug peddler.

If he does illegal deeds and he was spotted with Nicolas Anderson, that might lead him to assume Nicolas was a suspect.

He sent an email to Kamal on what he should concentrate on. He should find out more information about Jim and Nicolas’ purpose of meeting.

Also, he wants it clarified if his brother-in-law is truly involved in illegal deeds.

Alex sighed. He felt a bit relieved. Somehow he felt the burden on his shoulder light.

The only thing that made him feel a little bit moody was his heart yawning for Ella. He knows down in himself that his heart yawns and gets attracted to her.

He knows he has feelings for her and if what he’s feeling is love, then he won’t doubt it.

But the feeling is one sided. Ella detest him. He was certain about it from the way she yelled at him the previous day.

He yawned and looked at his clock, it was past 3am already. He laid down, and wanted to catch a few hours of sleep before getting up for work.

But as he laid down, his thoughts drifted to Ella again. If he could just get a chance to be her lover, he would cherish it forever.

She might be feeling optimistic, waiting to get divorced with him as quickly as possible or as soon as the marriage clocks in a year. But he doesn’t want that time to come.

He wants it slow, perhaps she will eventually glance at him, and give him a chance. Perhaps, she might accept him as her lover and her husband.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

These thoughts of the previous night rushed through Alex’s mind, as he raised himself from the bed and made his way towards the bathroom.

That same morning, Ella woke up on the sofa. In fact she felt her back neck ache and she woke up.

The television was still on and the Hollywood movie she was watching had ended. She gently sat up and wondered if she really slept in the sitting room.

She looked at the time and it was 5:25 am. She was waiting for Alex and decided to get engaged with a movie, then she ended up dozing off on the sofa.

Her whole body aches. Alex didn’t come home last night. What happened? How can he have probably stayed out all day and at night?

She stood up, switched the television off and went to the bedroom. How can he not be home after work? Has he gotten involved with one of his numerous girlfriends again?
