LOGINMarley gasped.The headquarters suspects her.Captain saw the worry written on her face and tried to reassure her.“Don't worry, I tried convincing him otherwise and I will keep this information you have given me confidential until the time you plan to tell the commander but I request you tell him on time.”Cordelia had also told her the same thing. They definitely know their father well so she should listen to their advice.“So what else Neils or is that all?”“No. Anthonio's assistant; Peter King, met this man a few days before the drug incident and I just found out Peter King also met with my father five years ago posing as a reporter.” Marley showed him the image on her phone “Peter King…” Captain tilted his head staring at the image thoughtfully.“Have you heard of him?”“I think so… yes I think I have heard commander mention him once or twice?” Captain tutted.That was when Marley remembered. No wonder his name had sounded familiar.She had also heard the commander mention his
Marley stared at her phone but hesitated. Should she trust Captain with this? But she had no choice and needed help.If Cordelia were right then she would deal with it when things go haywire.She dialed his number and he answered at the first ring.There was silence and Marley inhaled before speaking.“Captain… I need your help.”She waited for his response and it came.“I thought you wouldn't ask.”“Huh?”“I'll send you an address, meet me there.” The call ended before she could say anything and Marley exhaled.Her phone vibrated, and she checked the address Captain sent, then boarded a cab.Marley replayed everything that Roy had told her earlier and she took out her phone and stared at the image of her father and Peter King.Peter King.Rino baby.She needed answers faster.“We are here ma'am.” The driver said over his shoulder and Marley looked up and then around her.She paid the driver and got out. The cab drove off and Marley stood alone.Her eyes roamed around the place. It wa
Bruno searched for Peter's name and then clicked on the message.Anthonio read the contents with an unreadable expression.Benita had told Peter about the threat message she had been receiving concerning their affair and Peter had encouraged her to leave Anthonio.The betrayal stung regardless and Anthonio felt a rage burning low.He had thought deeply on why Benita had broken up with him, had suffered an immense heartache thinking it could have been his fault then a hatred for her for letting go of what they had and for her leaving without a backward glance even when he had been in danger.But now the reason was before him. He now knew why her voice had held fear that day. It was fear of her secret being exposed, of him finding out about her affair with the one person he had called his friend.He had always known Peter's intentions toward him weren't good. After he had been found in the woods having been pursued by Neils’ father's murderer, he had woken up from a coma to find out Pet
“He met with your father five years ago.”Marley stood fixated in her spot trying to digest what she just heard.“What do you mean? Peter met my dad?”Roy nodded.“How sure are you?”“Hundred percent my dear. I carried out your request myself and I found out that he met your father five years back as a reporter.”“Reporter? Peter is not a reporter.”Roy stared around then beckoned to her. They went through a door on their side. It was Roy's office and he shut the door immediately they stepped in.“This is quieter for our conversation.” He said and moved around his desk, taking out a computer.“Come.”Marley went to meet him and she stood beside him staring down at the computer.An image appeared on the screen. Marley narrowed her eyes and bent forward turning the computer fully to her.It was an image of her father sitting opposite a man, a man dressed in a long-sleeved shirt and baggy trousers, he had eyeglasses on and his hair was longer but she recognized him.It was Peter King. H
Anthonio stood outside Gabson and checked his wrist watch for the fifth time.This was already seven and he was yet to see Benita.Where was she? Had she pulled a trick on him?He tapped his foot on the ground feeling his patience running out then he looked up to the street just in time to see a cab door open a few blocks from where he stood and a woman being pushed out.A woman he recognized.“Benita!” He ran towards them but the cab zoomed off before he could reach them.He ran up to Benita who lay sprawled on the floor with a knife in her stomach.Blood pooled on the floor beneath her and Anthonio dropped to his knees beside her.“Benita!” He held her head in his hand and felt her pulse. It was beating faintly.People gathered around them and muttered among themselves.“Someone call the emergency line.” He shouted at them and someone made the call.Minutes later, Anthonio stood outside an ambulance van talking to one of the paramedics.Then he got in with them and the van drove off
“Peter King.”Marley clenched the phone tightly. “Are you sure?”“Yes, I am. I will send you the image of the two of them meeting.”Marley's phone beeped and she stared at the image.It was Peter all right. Anthonio's personal assistant. But why him?“He is the one right?” Cordelia’s voice said on the phone and Marley placed it back to her ear.“Yes, he is the one.”“What does this mean? Is Anthonio behind all these?”Marley's chest tightened and she thought of him. No it can't be him. He had saved her that night.“It can't be him. He saved me that night.” She voiced her thoughts to Cordelia.“But what if he planned it all? Maybe to be a hero to you or something?”“It isn't him. Anthonio is not behind it.” Marley's voice rose in defense and she caught herself. “I mean he wouldn't try to prove anything to me and what bullshit hero? It's all absurd.” She said softly trying to calm her voice.But Cordelia wasn't fooled. “You are defending him.”“Rather stating the obvious.” Marley counte
A woman stood at the threshold of the Australia airport.“Home sweet home.” She breathed in and removed her dark shades.“Where is he?” She glanced at her wrist watch.“Benita.” She turned her head to the voice and smiled.“Peter.”Peter stepped up to her and hugged her.“Why are you just coming no
“Hey, girlie.”Marley's stomach churned at the voice. No one needed to tell her who was calling.How did this crook get her number?“It isn't three weeks yet Don.”“Yeah, I know girlie. I'm just checking up on you, in case you wanna pull any funny business I just wanted you to know you can't run aw
Mrs. Kalvey opened the door and welcomed someone in.Anthonio's eyes darkened when he saw who it was.Benita.“What the….” Mandy gasped behind Anthonio, also not expecting Benita to be here.Benita smiled awkwardly at the two siblings whose eyes were sending daggers her way.Mrs. Kalvey broke the t
Marley moved quietly in that direction, her heart thumping fast.She knew it was foolish to follow someone who may be dangerous or armed without being armed herself.She had forgotten to take her pocket knife with her, so now she was left with her fists.She reached the end and turned sharply to th
