(Miami hotel)
Liam Payne and the cops walked into the murder scene.
Robert’s body was still lying on the floor.
“Who did this?”
Liam asked facing one of Robert’s men.
Liam Payne and Robert were best of friends. Liam work as the manager of Robert’s business. He is the man Robert suntherland trust the most.
“We don’t know.. we just heard gunshot after boss entered”
He replied.
Liam sighs and look at the broken window.
“The murderer ki||ed boss and escaped through the window”
He scoffs.
” Should we report this? Mr Payne”
The cops asked.
” Yeah..
Am going to find the murderer of my best friend.
He replied with a surge of anger inside him.
Robert’s body was dressed in the bag and moved out of the hotel.
“Can I see the hotel manager?”
Liam asked facing one of the cops.

(Liam’s resident)
Liam sat down on the couch drinking a glass of wine as he watched the murder scene he got from the CCTV cameras for the fifth times.
“It’s a good thing he covered his face by wearing a mask,,
The cops would have find you by now if they recognized your face”
He said to himself as the door bell rings…
He stood up and walk to the monitor to check who is at the door.
“Liam, it’s me”
Rose said staring at the monitor camera. Her face was sad looking, angry at the same time.
The door beeped and unlocked itself. Rose opened it and walked in.
Rose rushed to Liam and hugged her, sobbing on his shoulder.
“Is he truly dead?
She asked.
” Yes,, he is dead and I promise you, Rose
Am going to find his ki||er ”
Liam said.
” I didn’t have the chances to tell him about my feelings”
Rose said and sat down.
” You have feelings for Robert? ”
” Yes, I do…
She replied sadly.
“I knew it, I was right..
With the way you always look at Robert, I knew there you had a feeling for him”
” How come he is dead… Who dares has the mind to ki|| him? ”
Rose asked.
” Someone as powerful as him can do that,, but who do you think the suspect could be?”
Robert’s men said they saw a man wearing blue suit running out of the garage seconds after Robert was shot.
“Did you just say a man wearing blue suit?”
Liam nodded.
“Maybe it could be Andrew William,, he is the only one that h@ťě Robert and tried to ki|| him four times”
And also, I saw him today wearing a blue suit”
“Andrew William?? Are you sure about this?”
Liam asked and sat down.
“Yes,,, what other reasons do we have to doubt this,, Andrew had long wanted to ki|| Robert”
Maybe he already have his ways”
Andrew also took my parents and unless I accept his proposal,, he is going to release them”
“Then accept him,, your lover is dead already”
Liam replied.
” Or who want to save you from Andrew? Robert is dead ”
Besides, your parents owe him a huge sum of money and have to pay back”
” Are you siding him right now?
He f-__-king took my parents,, and the money my parents borrowed was stolen days later, they couldn’t even use it”
” Am siding no one..
He shrugged and sip his wine.
“Am actually thinking of something, we can have a win win here”
“And what’s that?”
“You are going to accept his marriage proposal..
“What, what for?”
I am never going to do that”
I should accept to live with a devil, a segz freak?? Do you know how many ladies he have slept with ?
“Then how will you save your parents?
” I will find another way ”
She replied.
“Listen, Rose,, am sending you on a mission and the mission is that simple ”
“Accept his proposal, find out what secret he is keeping and find anything that trace to your lover’s death”
” And also a win for you, your parents will be released”
” Later on, you can file for a divorce.
“Do you think it’s easy that way??
You can’t mess with Andrew William”
Rose said.
“Rose, think…
We can find evidence and bring him to book, then you will be free”
Do this for Robert, I know you really really love him”
Rose thought for a while…
“He is going to turn me to his segz toy,, I don’t think I can do that”
Liam sighs.
“Look, rose..
Do you want to find this murderer?? For Robert?
You do love Robert right?
Then do this for him”
Rose look at Liam in his eyes.
Are you sure about this?”
“Definitely sure,, we just have to stick to the plan and getting your parents released is a side bonus”

~Andrew’s mansion ~
Rose sat down on the couch staring around living room.
Andrew’s men were everywhere around the house making rose feeling uncomfortable.
Some men stood beside her holding a gun.
Andrew came walking down the stairs in a white shirt and a plain red trousers…
He put his hand in his pocket as he use the other hand to smoke.
He puff out a rolled smoke air from the weed he was smoking and smile on seeing Rose sitting in his living room.
“I see you finally know what to do”
He said and sat down comfortably on his couch crossing his legs.
One of his men came with a plate and stretch it to him.. he burn out his smoke and place it on the plate,. Another one offered him a glass and he poured himself a drink.
Rose cleared his throat.
“Do you hear the news??
Robert is dead”
She said.
“Yeah, I do..
May his soul rest in peace
He smile wickedly.
Rose looked at him.
“He surely murdered him, it’s written all over his face”
She thought.
” So you came to see me?
Have you finally accept my proposal? ”
He asked and sip a little wine.
” Yeah, I do..
Am ready, I just want my parents released ”
She replied.
“I know you love your parents so much and you can do anything for them”
He said and one of his men entered and bow a little before Andrew.
” He is gone boss, we ki||ed him”
He said.
“And why are you just reporting to me now?
Just get the f-__-k out of here ”
Andrew shouted at him.
” Am sorry boss,,
He apologized and walked out.
Rose thought for a while.
“If Andrew didn’t ki|| Robert himself, then his men did”
She winced her face suspiciously and look at Andrew.
Andrew snap his finger,, one of his men went in and came back few seconds later with a briefcase.
He placed it in front of rose and opened it, brought out a coloured file and a pen.
“That’s our marriage contract,,
So think and read the conditions well..
He scoffs.” You really do have no choice, just sign it”
She took the file and read through…
Some seconds later,
“What?
Am not allowed to leave this compound? Is this an house arrest or something?
Am not even allowed to work or find a job?” Am a waitress in a big famous bar here in Los Angeles and they pay me well there,, do you think I will just leave..
” Yes,, quit your job..
All I need is for you to remain in here in this house,, there is no need for work,, everything you needed will be provided for you”
And I will double your monthly pay if you want to”
Andrew replied.
“I even forgot, you owned the bar”
She thought.
” Is this like forever or ??
” Yeah, forever but if I feel like letting you go, I can break off the contract, and am the only one allowed to do so”
You are mine now,, I owned you
You are my property ”
He said and smile.
” Have not sign it yet”
Rose replied.
” You have to,, you have no choice
Or you prefer your parents to remain here and i ki|| them after one week of staying at my place,,
That’s a way of saying they paid for staying over here and clearing their debt.
“You are so wicked, Andrew”
“You can say that again”
He smile wickedly as he smokes.
” Am not signing this..
Rose stood up and wanted to walk out. She stopped and thought of Liam’s words.
?”Let’s do this for Robert,,
Find traces to his death, you are on a mission now” ?
She sighs and turned back. Rose was already in tears.
“You are free to go rose Walter. Just prepare to meet your dead parent at home”
Andrew said.
She cleaned her tears,took the papers and signed them.
” Congratulations, Mrs William”
Andrew smile.
