Rose’s dad and billy were having a discussion at the diner table.
Jean, rose and Rose’s mom watched them.
“I think they are discussing about business”
Jean said.
“Well, I think they are getting along”
Rose also said.
“No?
They are already friends before now, maybe they are talking about Andrew”
Jean replied.
Billy and Rose’s dad both stood up.
“Are you all ready?
Billy said.
“Yeah ..
Rose replied.
“Andrew will be happy to see all of us”
“Yeah… But you are the happiest, you are going to see him even though he may be in a bad condition”

“All I just want.. is to see him”

“It’s okay…

~Boathouse ~
Robert was seated in one of the chairs thinking about what to do. Will he neglect Andrew in jail or bail him out?
He was broading over the issue when Liam sit in front of him.
Robert looked up and saw Liam.
“Boss…
“Jerry.. or should I say Robert suntherland”
Liam smirked.
Robert was surprised.
“Am not robert”
“Stop the pretense, we already saw the tattoos on your arm.
Only Robert had that type of tattoos”
Robert sighs.
“Do I look like Robert suntherland?
Liam thought for a while.
“No, I know what Robert is capable of, he might go as far as getting a plastic face surgery”
Liam replied.
Robert chuckles…
“It’s like he knows me too well already”
He thought.
“What if am Robert’s brother?”
Liam look straight into his eyes.
“Don’t take me for a fool, Robert… I knew you had no siblings”
For the very first day I saw you,when you came into my office for the bodyguard job, I had suspected you.
I watched you closely, your movement, your daily activities and I discovered you might be Robert”
Robert folded his arms and listened.
“To prove myself right, You killed all those built and hefty men that was also contesting with you, only Robert could do that.
I sent you purposely to kill Rose Walter, you take days and weeks without executing my order, I knew you are Robert cos Robert would have killed Rose Walter in just a day if it’s a random woman.
But because she meant something to you, you couldn’t kill her”
Robert scoffs…
” So, you knew all along? ”
“Yeah, I decide to play the game with you… I tested your loyalty and sent you to Andrew’s home to save Olivia.
But you came out alive with Olivia safe and sound, only Robert suntherland could do that”
I was doubting myself for a while not until my ally saw you with Kate, Dylan and Ben…
Your former loyal men, at that moment I knew I was right”
Olivia also found out when she saw the tattoos clearly at the hospital.
Robert couldn’t believe his words. Liam Payne knew who he was. He has been acting like a fool thinking he was playing Liam and Olivia but Liam was smarter.
“I was way ahead of you, Boss…
Liam said confidently.
Robert clapped and smile.
“Wow..
Bravo., I love these”
I was actually a pawn in my own game”
*Well, you did all that to find your killer which you thought it’s me not knowing, it was Andrew Willams all along”
Robert stare at Liam.
“You know both tried to kill me… Andrew is receiving his punishment, you also will have a slice of the cake.
“Am off the book, Robert…
Liam smile.
“There is no way you can get into your mess anymore
Alright, tell me… What are you going to do? ”
Robert hit the table angrily and stood up.
“F*ck you, Liam…
He said angrily and walked away.

(California police department)
Rose and everyone waited at the visitor’s room. Andrew was brought in. He wore a red prison uniform but his hands were not handcuffed.
Detective stones followed him inside.
Rose saw Andrew… She rushed to him and hugged him.
“I have missed you alot,Rose
Andrew said hugging her and caressing her hair.
Everyone just watched.
“I have miss you too,
Little beauty have miss your touch”
Andrew chuckles and touch rose’s stomach. “She is going to be fine, don’t worry”
I will be out of here, soon”
Andrew sat down and look at everyone..His dad, jean and rose’s parents.
A cop came in also with John. He sat down with Andrew.
“Mr Williams…
He is going to be charged to court in two days time”
Detective stones said.
“Yeah, we are aware of that..
You can excuse us now”
Billy replied. Det stones nodded and walked out with the cop.
“Why did you don’t want to accept a bail”
Rose asked.
“I think I deserve this”
He replied.
“You deserve this?
His dad chipped in.
What has come over you, son?”
“Am sorry, dad..
But I know what am doing, let me just remain here till the time is right”
Jean sighs.
Rose and Jean looked at John.
“Hope he is being taken care of in there? ”
Jean asked.
“We are both being taken care of
John replied.
“So good to see you, Mr and Mrs Walter”
Andrew said and smile at them.
“So good to see you too,
Don’t worry about Rose… We are all going to be fine
All that matters now is you, we want you out safely”
Mrs Walter replied.
“We am going to be out, we promise”
Andrew smile and looked at John.
*How is that possible?? You will be charged to court in two days. Once the judge gives his judgement, you are doomed, there is no bailing out”
Rose said worriedly.
“We are going to be fine, Rose…
Trust me”
Andrew replied and hold her cheek. He gave her a kiss on the forehead.
“Am doing this for the baby and you, I want you two to be safe and to do that, everything has to end once and for all”
“Alright, I trust you
Rose hugged him again… John and jean also join in the hug.
Andrew’s dad and Rose’s parents just watched.

(Robert’s resident)
“So liam knew who I was all along”
Robert announced to Kate and Ben.
“They found out my identity”
Kate and Ben looked at each other.
“This is surprising,
Kate said.
“I warned about those tattoos, Boss”
“let’s forget that and move on…
What should we do now that your identity has been known? ”
Ben asked.
“We can use that to save Andrew from jail..
“No,
He must be punished.. am not getting him out of there”
Robert said stubbornly.
Liam will also pay for his own deed”
He added and walk away.
Kate sighs sadly.
“He is still not ready”
“I don’t think he is…
I don’t understand Boss anymore, maybe the revenge still got to his head”
John replied.

“Morning, Liam Payne”

“That’s expected of him, Andrew William never give in. He always win”
“Yeah…
“So, I want you to do something for me Det stones?”
Liam said.
“When is Andrew being taken to Court?”
“That’s tomorrow…
“Alright, I want to have him killed before tomorrow, he shouldn’t reach the court room”
“Why? Liam…
The judge will give him a death sentence at least, why should we kill him before tomorrow? ”
“I know Andrew Williams might be up to something.. he refused to get bail out
Don’t you think he has his own plans?”
Det stones thought for a while.
“I didn’t even think of that…”
“Yeah, I think he has plans while in Court and might win the case, so I want him killed this midnight before he execute those plans”
I know you can arrange that”
“Yeah, sure…
I can … Trust me, Liam Payne”
Liam smile…
“After Andrew is out of the way, Robert is next”
