~Still at Liam’s company ~
John got down from the car immediately he heard a shooting sounds from inside the building.
The gunshots continues and he quickly pull out his gun.
“What’s going on in there??
I hope Rose is safe”
John thought.
A security man walked to him.
“Everything is fine, Sir…
Our boss is taking a shooting practice, don’t fret”
“Oh…
Hope everything is fine? ”
John asked.
“Yeah, you can keep back your gun now”
The security man said.
John nodded and the man went back to his gate post. He put his gun back into his pocket.
********
Liam and some men stand in front of the basement door.
He puts his hands in his pocket as he watches the door to see who will comes out first.
He sighs remembering what just happened back in his office.
“Rose now knows Olivia and I are together, I pray it stays that way and our other secrets won’t spill out”
He thought and sighs.
Suddenly, gun shot sounds was heard from basement. He smiles..
“Let’s see who get out alive”
He smile wickedly.
Soon later, crashing sounds was heard…
“I think that little guy won’t survive it, there is no how he can come alive from the deadly hands of those six built men”
One of Liam’s men said.
“I guess we will find out soon… But why does his voice seems familiar?”
Liam thought for a second and later shrugged it off.
????
(Back at Liam’s office)
Olivia and Rose were still stuck in Liam’s office. Both of them were quiet and didn’t say anything to each other.
Rose keep walking round the room.
“Hey, call your man and tell him I want to leave… A friend of mine is waiting outside”
Rose finally said after fifteen minutes of silence.
Olivia scoffs.
“Finally you could talk to me,, call him and tell him that yourself”
Rose looked at her for a while..
“Since when did this start? Sleeping with Liam…
Has this been going on while Robert was still alive?”
Gosh, I feel for Robert right now, where ever he is, may his soul rest in peace”
“Why are you so pained about this? I moved on with my life after Robert died..
And besides, I have loved Liam before I knew Robert ”
” So you just went after his money, you knew I loved Robert so much but you decide to have him instead..
You wicked soul”
“Oh really??
What happened to your fiance, Andrew William?? What about the news we heard about you guys?
And you truly loved Robert?”
Olivia said.
“There is nothing between Andrew and I… We are just friends”
“You clearly love Andrew William and not Robert..
Or why did you get to live with him after Robert died?
Did you go for him because he was the richest in California then? ”
Oh poor baby, now he is broke and he can’t make the top three billionaires rank”
Olivia said and rose scoffs.
“But for me, My liam is now the richest after he owns Robert’s assets”
She added.
Rose locked eyes stare with her.
“First, am only with Andrew to pay my parent’s debt” There is nothing between us and I will soon get out of there”
And also did you guys planned on getting Robert’s properties before his death? Am seeing it that way now..
Did you two killed Robert suntherland?
Rose suspected.
“Cos its seems you’ve been talking about Robert’s assets so much”
She asked looking at Olivia closely.
Olivia just frown.
“Now I wonder why I couldn’t find any evidence against Andrew’s murder”
Rose thought for a while.
“Look, Rose…
Say wh@tëver you want, I don’t care
Liam and I are now together”
Accept defeat and get used to it”
Olivia said and sat down on Liam’s office chair.
Rose chuckles and later smile with a surprised look.
“Gosh, you two are evil..
I can’t believe this”
Olivia burst into laughter.
“I see you are shocked,
Liam just wasted your time sending you on a stupid mission to Andrew’s home,
He was using you to keep your suspection away from I and himself.
And also, we wants all attention to be on Andrew at that time”.
“I knew it, there is no way Andrew could murder Robert even though I knew they are rivals”
Thought as much”
“Yeah, it seems you have been in the dark ever since
Olivia said and and stood up.. she walked to her and stare at her eyeballs.
“We already won, Rose and you lose”
She said quietly into her ears.
Rose’s body began to shake. A surge of anger was developing inside her, she felt like strangling Olivia and revenging her lover’s death. She restrain herself from doing something stupid.
????
(Back at the basement)
~Thirty minutes later~
All bodyguards were still in there fighting for survival. Liam sat down patiently with his legs crossed together still waiting for someone to show up at the door alive.
His men were already tired of waiting.
Suddenly, someone finally came out.
Liam quickly stood up and watched. He came out with his body soaked with blood and his face facing the ground. All his men immediately walked into the basement.
He fell to the ground tiredly and looked up at Liam.
“I did it”
Robert said slowly.
Liam smile and was also surprised.
All his men came out and someone step forward to him.
“Boss, they are all dead, he killed them all”
One of them said.
His men look scared as they stare at Robert.
Liam took Robert’s hands and raise it up..
“Weldone, Jerry…
“As from now on, you are my personal bodyguard and also the head of my securities”
Liam said happily.
“Thanks, boss…
Like I said before, it’s not by strength alone but by skills”
Robert managed to reply.
“Yeah, I guess you are right..
He face one of his men.
Get him to the hospital and have him treat his wounds”
Liam said and walk away.
????
Rose and Olivia were still having an argument when Liam unlocked the door.
Rose walked out angrily shoulder butting Liam as she rushed out.
“Hey, rose wait…
I can explain”
Rose ignored him as she continue walking. Liam sighs and walked back into his office.
“What happened?
He asked.
“She knows
Olivia shrugged.
“What part?
“Everything’
Liam face fell.
“Why did you tell her?? We are Fuçked now”
“Relax, Liam… She is capable of doing nothing”
I know rose”
“But still, she is a risk
We don’t know what can happen”
Liam said.
“Then we can clear her off”
????
(Outside Liam’s company)
Rose walked into her car angrily in the garage.
John was surprised what changed her mood. He quickly get into the car with her.
“Rose, is everything okay?”
John asked.
“Have been waiting for an hour now.. what’s going on in there?”
Rose didn’t say anything.
She just start the car engine and drive off.
John sighed as his phone rang.
“Hello Boss…
He said and rose looked at him.
“Yeah, she is good and okay… We are driving home now”
John said.
“Yes, boss”
He later said and ended the call.
“What did you tell Andrew? ”
Rose finally speaks.
“That you are fine and we are heading home? ‘
John shrugged.
“We are not going home yet, I have someplace to go and cool off my head’
Rose said.
” Cool off your head??
Rose, what really happened in there? ”
And where are we going?
“I can only answer one question,
Am going to my usual spot”
I need to get a drink”
Rose replied.
“Really??
That’s all you can say? Boss is expecting us back home in some minutes”
“Well, I don’t care.. I can do wh@tëver I can just like he said,
So am saying it now, am not ready to go home yet”
Rose said almost letting out her anger at John.
“Alright, take things easy, Rose
Calm down, huhn? ”
” I understand you are in a bad mood right now but I will still like to know what really happened?
What cause the change of mood on your face right now?
Rose looked at John.
“John? She called calmly.
John looked at her.
“I have something to tell you and please don’t tell any one, not even Andrew…
You are the only one I trust the most eversince I came into Andrew’s home”
“You have my words, Rose…
What is this all about? I just want to know, ..I seems confused here”
“Let’s find a good bar first for a drink, I will tell you everything’
Rose replied and John nodded.
??? ?
(Andrew’s resident)
Andrew walked in as he speaks with John on the phone.
“Make sure she is fine and she comes back home early..
I just got back home also”
He said as he sat down on the couch.
One of his men brought a blue folder containing a single file inside.
He handed it over to Andrew.
“That’s Ray Jackson, he works as a bodyguard”
He said.
“So this is the man that have a night stand with Rose?”
Andrew asked.
“Yes boss…
Our insider just got this sent to our fax machine”
“Good”
Andrew looked through the it.
He scoffs…
“No wonder he is muscular, his bodyguard job explains it”
Andrew said as he checked through the file.
Seconds later, he shouted.
“Oh Sh|t, he is dead?”
“Yes, Boss
Am sorry we couldn’t get him alive”
He died some hours ago”
“I said I need him Alive, I wanted to ask some questions before I deal with him”
“I don’t think it’s our fault, Boss..
The information from our insider said he died in the line of duty some hours ago in Mr Liam’s company”
“What??
He died in Liam Payne’s hands?
“Yes Boss… Am sorry”
Andrew sighs.
“How I wish I could just ask maybe he really slept with Rose…
Well, the deed is done already”
He said and took the TV remote.
“You can go now”
He nodded and did a slight bow before walking out.
TBC…
Rose knows all secrets now..

Andrew could av dealt with him if he was still alive. Man is still jealous.
