CHAPTER 4: CONFESSION

_______NARRATOR'S POV________

" Speak u bastard, why did you kill Sophie?" Alicia said hiting him with a metal stick at his back. She was never going to give up until he speaks and everyone knows what ever Alica wants she gets it by force. " ( Breathing heavily) I won't say a thing. Just kill me I wouldn't say anything " . Alica punched him and blood was dripping out of his mouth.

He has already been beaten up black and blue and refuses to speak. He couldn't even tell a difference whether it was his sweat or his blood that was running down his bare chest cause his shirt had been toren and soked with his blood.

" calm down Alica , boss doesn't want him dead , just the truth that all" Striker said coming with a long blade that was the hight of your middle finger 🖕.

" Just let me be , am not going to talk !" Liam shouted as he saw the blade and how long it was. " Yeah, now that's what am talking about " Alica quickly walked towards Stiker and took the blade from his hand and walked towards Liam.

Alica had an evil smirk on her face which made Liam more frightened. His heart was beating so fast anyone could hear it." you know what the blade's for ?" Alica said to striker.

Stiker went to Liam and relased his hand from the chain and he streched Liam's hand out . Liam tried to relase his hand from the strong grip but Stiker was to strong for him. " no, please, get that thing away from me, Please, get it away Ahhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!" Liam screamed so loudly as Alica pierced the long blade into where the muscles of his arm was and dragged it down slowly. She smirked wickedly with the sight of blood on his arm . She stopped at the elbow and went up again and it was more painful than the first time " Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!, Stop!!, Please! I'll speak, I'll speak, please stop !!!!" Alica stoped and Striker relased him .

Liam was breathing heavily and was still shouting in pain. He could still feel the blade in his arm even though it has been removed and he was losing a lot of blood. " Now sart talking if you know you don't want me to inflict more pain in you" Alica said as she looked straight into Liam's eyes.

Ivy, Diseal, Tiger, and Ivy weren't doing anything but enjoying the show Alica is putting on for them because they knew if Alica wants anything, she gets it by force and could make anyone spill out the truth no matter how strong the person is .

" I spied on you all because my father Rick Erison wanted to get revenge on Olivia because she blew up one of his company and he wanted to kill her.

I found out she was mask girl during one of our shoot in our last movie when I was ment to catch her when she fell and her hair revealed hair neck immediately.

I also wanted to get revengeon her cause she killed my friend Jackson and I have been out to get her ever since and told my father.

He hatched up a plan and it was working fine till you all ruined it.

I killed Sophie cause she found out about our plan and was about to tell you all but I stabbed her. I was about to run away but I was caught by Olivia.

I didn't mean to kill her but I had no choice ".

Liam was annoyed at himself for betraying his father but he had no choice. He had received too much pain and he knew his father won't appreciate him.

" when did you friend die ? " Tiger asked and stood up from the 8 cm long couch . " he died on the third day of this year". " Boss never kills on the third day of this year and she's always at home every third day of eavh month so you're lieing" Tiger said but Liam didn't reply.

" Did you record it" Alica asked Bellatrix who was working on her laptop while sitting on a metal like chair and drinking the red wine Olivia left for them to share but Bellatrix doesn't share. " yeah, already sent to boss" She replied and took a sip from the wine.

" Is there any plan we need to know ? " Blade asked codly " I don't know, but just be pepared cause the more they loose the bigger their plan gets and you don't want to mess wi...." before he could finish his sentence, Bellatrix put the memory wiping cap with cables on his head and she powre it on . Liam became unconscious and she pluged the cables into her laptop.

" Don't worry guys, I have got a plan to kill that bastard " Bellatrix said. Alica stood up and said " Am going to the training room, my hads are thirsty to kill" she walked towards the door but was stopped when she heard Diseal spoke " you know we just had a battle few hours ago and your still not satisfied " she didn't reply and just walked out.

Suddenly Liam began screaming and all eyes were on him except Bellatrix who had a devilish smirk. " Bellatrix " Everyone gave a look that says " what did you do?" " Don't worry it's part of the process.

_____UNITED STATE OF AMERICA_____

_____THE PRESIDENT {RICK ERISON}'S MANSION_____

In the house of Rick, It was huge. His masion was like a hole estate guarded by his body gurad and some army . Inside if his house was filled with beautiful Items. The centre of the ceiling has a Gold like chandeliers with gold light emiting from it .

The middle of each hall ways has a red slim long rug which in each middle bouquet of flowers were placed in a glass like base with a silver pattern. The stair case also had a single long red rug in the midle but medium size.

The walls were well painted and beautifully made which matches the marble floors.

" ( sobbing) Father, were's big bro ? He hasn't come home for two weeks now and am worried. " a cute little voice echoed in the quiet mansion . Rick was sitting in a couch in the living room while patting his daughter's head who placed her head on his laps and curled up like a cat begging for mercy.

Her name is Elsa, but people call her Ella . She is the second and last child of Rick Ray Erison and the only girl child he has .

There mother had died years ago and married a young woman in her early thirties from China. You must be thinking she is bad or worst but know. she was the opposite.

She took them as her child and loved them very much. Ella adored her and even though thet staryed on the wrong foot they got along after sometime.

Now back to the poor Elsa who as being crying for days and nights non stop." would he ever come back ?" Ella said as she looked at her father with her light blue eyes .

Rick knew if he says he's not sure , she would throw a tantrum and she was his little princess who he spoilt rotten unlike her brother who was trained roughly.

" Am sure he would come home, I promise " he said and stroke her short black wavy hair just like her mom while her brother his the carbon copy of Rick. They looked alike and if not for Rick old age, they would be mistaken as brothers and not to mention handsome and cute.

" But, tomorrow is my birthday and he's not going to be here and, and ..." " honey , stop bothering your dad . He needs to find a way to bring your Liam back and your birthday party would be hosted by me and you will have a blast ". Jia Li Rick's wife came in and sat next the Ella and for those who knew Liam was her brother, good job for keeping up on the story.

She was wearing a white night gown and a black furry slippers. " it's just that I don't want to loose my brother the way I loosed my mom. I woun't take it well"

Ella remebered how her mom died of a very dangerous cancer that was discovered late cause it as spread through her body but was never noticed. She only had six months to live and both Liam and Elsa were broken into millions of pieces.

Rick couldn't control his emotion of seeimg his only loved wife in pain and suffering.

She died after six months, but before she died she said to Liam" Take care of your sister ..... cough ....cough never cough.... cough..... leave her side. Fight....cough..... for....cough, cough..the right and defend the good" and she died .

When Ella herd the news she fainted and was in a comma for two years . She woke up and found out about the death of her mother and was depressed for months.

Rick was also depressed and had to marry another wife cause Liam was still fifteen and Ella was eight .

" You won't loose him, I promise he's going to come back with his two legs and not his dead body Qinaide ( my love)" she said in Chinese and Ella hugged her. " You promise " Ella looked up at Jia Li and she smiled. she nodded her head and Ella hugged her until she fell asleep.

Rick on the other hand stood up and excused hisself to his study. Jia Li called her body guard who was in all black but his blond her was the only colourful thing and his light toned skin. " carry her to her room" she said and he nodded.

He he picked her up like a delicate peral and took her to her room.

Jia Lin stood up and went to meet Rick. she looked at the wall clock and it was 6:30 am in the morning. She went forward and straight to Ricks office. Taking a deep breaths and knocked .

_____RICK'A STUDY______

Rick was restlessness and moved around his study and had a worried expression on . There were alot of rhings going through his mimd amd he didn't know how to solve it:

First , he is having an election in the next three weeks for his presidential title.

Secondly, He was looking for his son which he knows he is on Mask girl custody

Thirdly, Ella would go carzy if Liam isn't back by tomorrow and her birthday party supplies aren't ready.

It was too much for him and it was driving him crazy. He knew Mask girl was with Liam abd he couldn't imagine what she had done to him cause Ella would freak out.

He went towards the opened French window and rested on it . He looked up and his eyes caught to sun trying to rise. It was already 6: 30 am. He didn't know Ella had crued so much cause he came home after the war with Mask girl hr found his little pearl crying.

He looked at his garden and wanted to go and sleep over there to cool his hot and stressed blood. " Knock, Knock, Knock" . Rick turned around and saw the door was slightly open and some strand of brown hair and an eye were peaking through the door" I hope am not disturbing ? " she asked and came in " no, am just a little stressed that's all" . He said and closed the French room. The lights were on so it was able to brighten up the room. He sat down on a office chair. Jia Lin walked up to him and sat on his laps . She used her small delcate hands to turn his face to look at her

" what's wrong Qīn'ài de ? " She said . Rick looked at her dark eyes and had no other choice to speak " There are too much things going in and I can't just do all alone. How would I get Liam from Mask girl ? He has been three for a month now being tortured and the presidential electionis in three weeks and as for Ella, she...." Jia Lin kept her fingers on Rick's Lips and said." don't worry about Ella, you know how I calm her down so count her out of your problem " She stood up and said " Everything is going to be alright. You have to be patient if tou want everything to walk out your way hmm"

Rick kept his hand on his temples" What if everything doesn t walk out and yiu know Ella's birthday is tomorrow and as gor Liam we need to take him efore tomorrow " . Jia Lin walked towards him and gave him a light kiss and his lips " Everything would be fine. Get some sleep" . She walked out of his study. Rick never understood his wife and the way she speaks in an unexplaiable way.

He decided not to dwell with it . He kept his head on his desk still stressed . He closed his eyes and slept off.

Jia Lin was already in her room and ready to sleep a little but picked up.her phone and dailed a number. She placed the phone on her ear and the person picked it " Let's meet today" she said and the person on the other hand said " at our usually place" a manly vouce said " hmm, by 6pm and don't be late Winston " . She end the call and rested her body on the bed and slept off.

TROUBLE HAS BEGAN.
