“I have a confession to make” Keith said
“what’s that?”
she took in a de-ep breathe “am not the K in KLS”
I got confused “How?”
“KLS isn’t mine and that’s why dad won’t let me open it”
“it’s not ma-king any s-en-se to me” I said
“I was adopted am not Lugard’s real daughter”
“if you’re not his real daughter that means he doesn’t have a daughter”
“her name is Kaylan she was kidnapped then I was adopted that same day to keep her kidnap a secret”
My heart started beating fast.
All these didn’t make s-en-se to me
“Where’s she now?”
“dad is still searching for her and he believes he’ll find her” she broke down in tears “am not enough for dad”
“you don’t have to cry” I pacified
If she isn’t K, then who is?
“why are you telling me this? ” I asked
“cause I nee-d someone to confide in and you’re the only one I got” she wiped her tears “I found the real K”
“you found Kaylan as in Lugard’s real daughter?”
“yes” she replied “I carried out a secret investigation on her without my dad’s knowledge and I’ve found her”
“who’s she?”
“her name is Dawn, she lives with her foster parents” she replied
“now that you found her are you going to tell your dad?”
“never!” she rebuked “I can never let him have another daughter aside me”
“Then what are you going to do?”
“I don’t know yet”
I spent two hours in Keith’s house and we talked about many things. Both relevant and irrelevant.
As I drove back to the ap@rtment, the thought of Keith not being K clouded me. I was lost in thought that I didn’t know when I arrived at the h0tel.
I parked my car and got down then headed for my ap@rtment.
Careless Jennifer left the front door open again. I walked in and locked the door. Jennifer was sitting in the living room with her legs crossed on a footstool.
She was wearing my shi-t and a short.
does this girl thinks she’s my girlfriend?
Keith has never wore my shi-t
“hey! Mr Cruse” she called out and I didn’t bother correcting her cause it’s obvious stubbornness runs in her veins
“why are you wearing my shi-t?” I asked as I sat on another couch
she shrugged “just felt like”
I watched her as she threw pebbles into her mouth and munched softly. The way her mouth moved made me want to taste herl-ips.
“why you staring at me?” she broke into my thoughts but I didn’t reply her
“want some?” she asked raising a handful of pebbles
“if I get to eat them from yourl-ips” I replied and she covered her mouth with her free hand ma-king me chuckle
“Keep your pebbles” I said and walked out
I went into the maid’s room and started packing up my stuffs. When I was done, I moved them into one of the chambers. I couldn’t bear sharing the same room with Jennifer again.
She c@m£ in when I was moving the last bag
“where are you going to?” she asked
“to the chamber?”
“why?”
I sm-irked “Trust me you don’t want to know”
she scoffed “like I care” and walked out
You’re gonna miss me– I said in my thoughts
I arranged my stuffs in the chamber and dropped on the be-d
I nee-ded time to think and Jennifer is not gonna let me do that.
Over to Keith
Keith not being K is quite absurd. Who could had kidnapped her and why would the person sell her out?
I thought about what she told me of Nathan. She wouldn’t tell me where he lives but I feel there’s more to it.
I brou-ght out my second phone which I used for my mission’s as TY.
There was a message from Lugard.
My heart skipped a beat
What if he has doubts about Jennifer
But Keith never mentioned that to me
I opened the text and it was a new mission to as-sasinate someone.
It was a girl and her pictures and address were s£nt. I checked her name and it was ‘Dawn Harcourt’
Keith asked her dad to kill his own daughter.
She’s so evil
I can’t kill her cause she’s the only way I can get back my company
I can’t bring her here
What do I tell Jennifer?
l can’t take her to another building
How do I ration protecting her and Jennifer
What do I do?
I gr@bb£d my car key and ran out
“where you going?” Jennifer asked from the living room
“Seriously? you’re not my wife”
she hissed and turned back to the television.
She kinda got angry at my reply
I hvgged her from behind her chair and she froze
“Did you see a ghost?” I asked jocularly but she didn’t reply she just stared into space wi-de eyed like someone who was in a trance
“I’ll just be out for a minute” I said and pe-cked her then walked out
I entered my car and drove off to the address Lugard s£nt to me
FEW MINUTES LATER 🕕🕕🕕🕕
I arrived at the address and st©pped my car at a distance watching the only building that was there. It was a small cottage.
A young girl walked out of the building with a basket of fruits. I brou-ght out my phone and compared her to the girl in the picture.
She was the girl– Dawn
She approached my car and st©pped beside it
“Good afternoon sir” she greeted politely and I just nodded
“you seem to be lost cause no one lives around here” she said
“but am seeing you”
she chuckled “ap@rt from me”
“What about your parents?”
“They are on a vacation”
“so you live alone?”
“yes”
I nodded “do you mind helping a stranger?” I asked and she just stared at me in uncertainty “I got lost on my way here yesterday and I managed to trace this building hoping the occu-p@n-ts would be willing to give me food and water and shelter”
Did I ask for too much?
She stared at me without saying a word. Guess she’s scared of strangers
“it’s okay I don’t bite” I chuckled “or you could be kind enough to lead me back to town if… ”
“it’s okay come on in I was just waiting to hear from my ancestors” she said and my eyes wi-de-ned
“what ancestors” I stuttered
“never mind let’s go” she said and walked ahead
I got down from my car and followed her, she’s as crazy as Jennifer.
Ancestors

“here” she dropped a jar of milk and a glas-s cu-p on a stool
“thanks”
“The meal is almost re-ady”
I swallowed
Will I even be able to eat here?
“I knew you were lying” she said and I threw the milk back into the cu-p from my mouth
How did she know?
“am sorry” she apologized and I just dropped the cu-p
so embarras-sing
“you’re wondering how I knew? The ancestors told me”
I have her a level stare
This girl is a weirdo
“Am not a wierdo”
Is she re-ading my thoughts?
“of course am re-ading your thoughts” she laughed and I was beyond shocked
“haven’t you heard of what’s called privacy?” I asked
“Dunno” she replied nonchalantly
“I have to be going” I said and got up
“Remember you said you lost your way? ”
Gosh! Am doomed
“You’re not doomed” she said and I just fainted
◌●♡⋆♡👮LIEUTENANT LUCAS👮♡⋆♡●⑅◌
“Nathan was my last hope of finding my daughter” Lugard cried out
Nathan was found dead this morning in a desolate area and investigations are on going to find his killers. Everyone thinks it’s TY again but we can’t be sure yet. I just pray it’s someone else not TY cause TY is almost impossible to find.
“We found a voice record in his pocket” I said
“And?”
“it was on before he was sh0t” I began “I gave it to my computer boy to sort out it would be out soon”
“I just want to find my child is that too ha-rd to ask for?” Lugard wept
“I’ll be taking my leave now” I bowed and left
I hate emotional sights
Everyone got there problems
Mine is worse. The cases are much and I have the feeling that the murder of the Knowles and the missing of Kaylan is related but how do I relate it?
Lugard is ma-king this ha-rd cause he won’t tell me where he was at the time Kaylan was kidnapped. He keeps insisting he was in a business meeting but no business meeting is recorded to had been held on that day
I turned on my engine and drove off to h0tel Royals. I had a meeting with a client.
I arrived at h0tel Royals and parked my car in the parking lot.
Immediately I got down, I sighted Jennifer.
What’s she doing here?
Her skin was glowing than before and she was surprisingly more beautiful than before.
“Jennifer!” I waved at her and she turned to my direction
I found myself smiling for no reason as she walked up to me
“Lucas” she giggled and hvgged me
“what are you doing here?” I asked
“I live here”
“for real?”
she nodded
“you live alone?”
“no with Regan”
my smile faded
That was when I noticed she was wearing a man’s shi-t– possibly his
“I have an appointment with someone now I’ll give you a call when am done then you’ll come pick me up and show me to your ap@rtment”
She nodded “okay”
she likes nodding at times I wonder if she’s a lizard
We exchanged digits and I went in to my client.
During the meeting I couldn’t st©p thinking about Jennifer. I prayed silently that it wasn’t what I was thinking. That she isn’t d@t!ngRegan cause I just don’t know how am gonna let her go.
But why was she wearing his shi-t and why is she living with him.
I shuddered at the thought, it can’t be
“Detective!” my client called zoning me out of my thoughts “you ain’t listening”
“Am sorry” I apologized “what were you saying?”
◌●♡⋆♡♥TYSON♥♡⋆♡●⑅◌
I was fighting ha-rd not to let anything come into my mind. Especially my life as an as-sas-sin and my revenge for Lugard. But Jennifer keeps coming into my mind.
“she’s beautiful” Dawn said during the course of the meal
“who? ” I began to shiver
“The girl you’re thinking of” She replied then added “you like her”
“she’s my sister”
“you know I know you’re lying” she laughed
“what are you?”
“Am Dawn”
“so? I can’t think again cause you’re Dawn?”
she chuckled “am gonna st©p re-ading your mind if you k!ssme”
I dropped my spoon in shock
“Just eat” she said and continued with her food
“I’ve lost my appetite”
“you want to leave” she re-ad out my thoughts
“yes”
“you can go”
I got up and headed for the door
“you’ll visit next time right?” she asked and I peered into her eyes
I don’t ever plan on seeing you again
“you shouldn’t say that it hurts”
“I didn’t say that you re-ad it yourself”
she rolled her eyes “Whatever see you next time”
“I’ll try”
“I’ll visit your sleep”
“are you a witch?”
“Will that make you k!ssme?”
I huffed “not in your wildest dreams”
“your love life is so complicating” she sighed “I can’t even find the girl you love” she added looking at my che-st like she was searching for something
“hey!” I yelled and covered my che-st with my palms
she chuckled “You’re crazy”
“seriously? you’re the craziest”
“I agree”
I walked out and entered my car
“you’re really not going to k!ssme? ” she asked from outside the car
“go get yourself a b©yfri£nd”
“Regan Cruse is my celebrity crush and I’ve always wanted a k!ssfrom you” she drawled
“you know me?”
“who doesn’t”
I chuckled “stay safe and don’t go anywhere”
she smiled “so you care about me”
“a lot” I win-ked and drove off
Since you’re K, Keith is now useless. It’s you I want now.
I’ll make sure you’re mine before your father finds you and he’ll have no other option than to make his precious long lost daughter happy by signing the company to me.
I have to get her trust and love me.
As long as she doesn’t re-ad that from my mind.
I’d be doomed
so crazy
you can’t even think
LATER 🕤🕤🕤🕤
I arrived at h0tel Royals and parked my car in the parking lot. Lucas’ car was there.
What’s he doing here?
Wait… Jennifer
I got down from my car and ran to the ap@rtment. For once, the front door was locked. Jennifer remembered to lock the front door and Lucas’ car is in the parking lot.
I knocked ha-rd and she opened the door. She leaned on the door post sleepily. She was no longer wearing my shi-t, she wore a singlet go-wn that was long to the ground. Her hair was messy and she just woke up from sleep.
I swear Lucas is a dead man if I see him here and why is her hair messy and why did she change?
“Are you going to continue standing there or you’re going to get in?” she yawned sleepily
I walked in and searched around for Lucas but there was no sign of him
“Who are you with?”
Her sleep vanished and she crossed her hands around her che-st “what do you mean? ”
“no one was here?”
“no one” she replied
I wish Dawn was here so she would re-ad her mind and tell me if she’s saying the truth or not.
“Why did you change my shi-t?”
“Are you now a detective?” she asked “Why the questions?”
What’s wrong with me?
I ruffled my hair in frustration and made to sit down when her phone rang.
I glanced at the caller’s ID and picked up the phone.
“My detective” I re-ad out and gave her a cold look as I clenched my fist
“Give me my phone”
“Why did you exchange digits and of all the names why ‘my detective’? ”
“I don’t owe you any explanations for that” she snatched the phone from me
my jaws ti-ght£ñed “Don’t answer that call”
“why?” she proceeded to answer the call then I gr@bb£d her two hands and pinned her two the wall with her hands raised up
The phone fell to the ground and continued ringing
“Let me go Regan” she fought to re-lease herself
“How are you going to react if I k!$$£d you, right here and right now?”
