BELIEVE ME OR NOT CHAPTER 09

Oh,sorry,Mr Brown.I've forgotten my keys.

Mr,Miller,it seems you're too much in pressure due to this case.

Hmm.Kinda.

Okay then,take your keys.

Oh,sorry again.Actually I've forgotten to ask you something.Can I.....

What?Now you wanna start again?

Sorry.

Okay.....Okay....Please go ahead.

That's really nice of you.So I just wanna ask you if you know anything about Mrs McGregor?

You mean Carol?

Yeah.

I can't sort out your question.Please can you make me clear what do you exactly wanna know?

I mean , if you know anything about why has she quitted so suddenly?

I.....I can't tell you anything for sure. Maybe she has found another better job.

Better job?Your company is one of the toppest in the whole world and holds a huge share.It's a ruling company in diamond world.So.....

So?Listen, Mr Millar if you've given steak for dinner but you've fascination for just a pie;then?What will you choose,Mr Millar?

Job is money,Mr Brown. And money talks.As far as I know your company has been offering the highest salaries for expected posts in this country.

So?

So,do you know which is that company she is now working at present?

I wish I know.

What? Now can I ask you why you being one of the most influential CEO doesn't have a record file of your present and past employees?

Of course,Mr Millar.But for your kind information,we just keep their working ranks and records, not their personal life events.I think I've told you enough for your intelligence to make yourself clear.

I'm enough witted,Mr Brown. So,please don't be worried.I think I ain't be able to learn more from you. I know I can't expect more than that and from you obviously.

What?What did you say?

I can't understand one thing, Mr Brown.Why have you been being so hard core and tough during interrogation since the day of your father's death?

Mr Millar, I think I've already made myself clear on the matter.Yet for your useless question, I truely have no answer except saying I wish you would lose a person you love most and then you'll definitely find your answer.But I ain't such a person.So I'll never wish that bad for you,Mr Millar.

You're so kind as a person, Mr Brown. I wish you're the same as you're pretending to be.

Wha.....What? Pretend means?

I'm just doing my duty.Take care,Mr Brown. I've to leave now.

The peace will care.Goodbye.And please don't forget your keys or any other question to be used for your coming back.I'm quite busy.

I understand, Mr Brown. I won't come back this time.And yeah, that wasn't any silly excuse for me to return back.That's just an incident.Don't give yourself too much importance. We're more busy than you.

Mr Millar, I...

Okay. Goodbye. I wish your rest of the day will shine.

Only if you won't show up.

Welcome,detective Millar.

Pleasure.How's everything going,Samuel?Smooth?

Kinda.

Is there any suspicious call for sister Gracia?

No.She hasn't yet contact with that girl.

Aaah....What's her name?Actually I can't remember straight.

Oh.She is Lesedi.Lesedi Dlamini.

That would be more than better if she tell the location over phone.Has she messaged her the location of their meeting.

That's not a big deal for real.My mind is howling for another answer?

What's it?

Why hasn't Ms Gracia told the location over phone?And why has she desperately cordoned Lesedi off coming to her orphanage?That are the biggest questions.What do you think?

My thoughts are dancing in my head.There's so many questions but few answers.

What?

At first, I've gotten into Oliver from the first.He is constantly hiding something from us.And I'm sure he is telling us lie on something but can't sort out what's that he is lying about.

And Samuel, today the interrogation was all about playing hide and seek game.He don't know anything about his father's secretary Mrs Carol McGregor.How's it possible.

I think we should find out Mrs McGregor first,detective Millar and then we'll be half a way far.What's your opinion?

Hmm.I'm on the same thought.Activate the local police and our private sources.And yeah make a personal investigation as early as possible on this Carol McGregor, understand?

I'll try to boost my investigation, detective Millar.

I just wanna know where's Carol.My instinct is saying she can be useful to this case.

And about that call from that call of Lesedi,I think sister Gracia somehow gathers the idea of her number being tapped.

Hmm.Detective Millar,I think we must do a background check on Lesedi Dlamini.

You're right.Make a file and lemme know further.

All right,detective Millar.

I'm Oliver Brown,the greatest CEO of Brown Dazzles.Can you here dad? Can you hear!!! Now I'm the only one emperor of your realm.Oh....sorry....sorry....I mean my kingdom. Only my kingdom!!!

Can't you hear,dad? I'm laughing.....I'm laughing.....You know why?Cause I'v leart how to smile the day you left this world. Look at you!You're a death number now.When you were in your death bed,I knew that your game was gonna be ended.Now you're finished...just finished....just finished, the great Addison Brown. You're nothing now!!Nothing!!!

I remember....remember everything, dad.Those nights when you were with those whores.They looked at me with their nasty eyes.Their lurks made me nauseous.They looked me as I was something easily haunted. I knew I was an easy target for them.

I hid in the dark closet at downstairs.That was suffocating.

A muffled smothery smell seemed making me feel like I was in a grave digged by my own father.But did I have another option?

Whenever I intended for going to upstairs, I'd tried hard yet couldn't avoid your room which was always full of different girls making unknown sounds that made me more stuffed in my own room.I felt like I should ran away so far so that you can't find me anymore.

I was confused. I asked you thousand of times about my mother.But got the same useless answer every time. You said my mom was someone like those women you used to bring.And she left me cause she neve wanted me.Unfortunately,I tried sometimes to find out my mother among them.How fool I was!Wasn't I,dad?Wasn't I a great fool as you told ,dad?

I knew you were always right.I believed you so much. That was the only reason I truely tried hard to find my mother.Cause....Cause I too needed someone who could love me,could show me care!!

You belonged to me like I'd not born or you never existed. Why?.....Why,dad?.....Why???

I tried so hard to make great marks in all exams for you,dad.Only for you!

But you'd never changed your expression.....even for once for my top marks.You just took all taken for granted!!Why???

You told me I was one of your mistakes. You always made me remember that I was unwanted, I was useless, meaningless.And you never cared whether I was alive or dead.

But now...Hah!

You're nowhere, Mr Addison Brown. Now see who's ruling your gdoddamn kingdom? Everyone praises my work,my intelligence.Do you know what was Mr Watson saying today?Aah.....Have you already forgotten Mr Watson?Tour managing director. Your left hand.

He was saying all the companies need a CEO just like me.Not yours,dad.Not yours!!Can you hear?You were useless ,a dead soul who just burried in the earth and now medleying slowly.

Nobody knows ; none knows who you really were!None has the slightest idea of you being the living place of the worst demons.I saw you,dad. I saw everything.

Our tour to Cape Town. You were too negligible for taking me with you.But I was too craving for going cause I hated the idea of releasing a chance for being with you.I loved spending time with you though I knew you hated that.

You returned that night with bloody shirt and a blood oozing wound in your hand.You scolded me as I asked you what had happened. But you know why I asked you that that day?Cause I was anxious of happening something bad;something sinisterous. I was worried for you.

You'd open fears in your gestures.That fear that showed you the way to hell. That fear that digged the grave for you.You know,I'm so happy now cause you're no more in my life.You're like a scattering hellfire in my life.

But why did I cry by the news of your death? I hate to confess but yeah I was a bit broken then cause I love you even now. You were the only one I'd in my whole life. You never allowed any girl came near to me.You always wanted me to be broken like I'm now. Wasn't that right,dad?

How could I tell this world that I loved that person more than my life who never gave a damn about me?They would then laugh and make a mock on me.I don't wanna be a clown for rest of the world.

Do you know who you really are? I'll tell you.You're a damn murderer. You're a good for nothing.You're just a fool,useless,worthless!

How are you feeling now? I'm telling you all those ornery things you told me everyday.That was the way I felt then.Disgusted,depressed.I'd passed all the nights sleepless sorting out my mistake that what was that you hated me so much for.

I thought maybe that was just for my mother.Might be you loved my mother so much and she cheated you badly.That was why you were so heartbroken and couldn't bide me as one of her part.I thoughts I was right!

But God was making a mock on me.What a wanker I was!!

I forgot you didn't know how to love someone.For you,love meant possesssing someone's body.And you did it every night.My mom was the most unfortunate knowing nothing of your demons.Or maybe she knew and that was why she left you thinking you wouldn't be that much cruel to your own blood,to your son.

But she was as fool as me.She was wrong.Addison Brown was worse than a lion.He forgot his own blood.You killed mr,dad.Killed me!!

Addison Brown knew just one thing in his life .He just wanted money....money and money!!!That avarice had taken him to the hell ground;to the grave.

Sometimes I ask myself if I'm taking that avatar of that lion

I was confused. I'm still confused.But I know time will show me the way!!!

A clear glass of red wine has been thrown down to the face of the portrait.And the wine seems like blood dripping from the eyes of the portrait and those eyes are burning the way it used to be.And the smiling craving lips wreck a rising shadow on the portrait. The naked vengeance starts caressing the distance between them.That portrait!!!Addison Brown.

Even you're nothing just a portrait now,Mr Addison Brown,I'll give you everything back you gave me. I'll promise you.It's Oliver Brown's promise to Addison Brown!!

The emptiness of the air starts getting warmer!!!
