Chapter Sixty-Four

Alex's POV

"Why..... I mean how did all dis happen?" I asked surprised.

"My plan worked" Emma said.

"What plan?" I asked.

"You need to promise me you'll not make the same mistake you made the last time, if I tell you about my plan, you have to promise me you'll always do everything I tell you." 

"Yeah, I promise, so what's your plan?"

"I poisoned William Sanders." Emma said.

"What?" Jasmine and I exclaimed.

"You poisoned the Prime Minister? How?" I asked.

"His cook is a friend of mine and I made her put Aflatoxin in his food causing a tumor in his Pituitary gland. And now, he needs the best Neurosurgeon to operate on him." Emma said.

"But.... Aflatoxin is dangerous when consumed but it can't cause a tumor in such a short period of time." 

"That's why my friend has being feeding him Aflatoxin for the past five years." Emma said.

"What, five years?" Jasmine exclaimed.

"How? I mean, I don't understand" I said.

"Alice is a friend of mine, childhood friend, you should know her, we used to hang out together sometimes." 

"Yeah yeah, I think I remember her."

"While I was on the run from William Sanders, she helped me out alot, I told her everything about me and we came up with this plan and we got her to be employed as William Sander's cook. Thus, she's been putting Aflatoxin in his food for the past five years." Emma explained.

"When Aflatoxin is consumed for a long period it causes a tumor to grow right on top of the Pituitary gland and to remove such a tumor is not going to be easy, he'll need..."

"He'll need the best Neurosurgeon to operate on him. And that's where you come in, he needs you that's why he cleared your name and gave you back your job."

"I'm never going to operate on him, he deserves to die" I said.

"Definitely he deserves to die and he will die but not yet."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"If we leave him to die now, the Nation will mourn him as a hero and I can't allow that, he will die but the nation will be happy for his death, we will have to reveal how corrupt William Sanders is."

"How?" I asked.

"William Sanders is a very corrupt official, he hijacks some of the money meant for the State to his personal account. At  one time, he had to purchase some plane for the international airport and he bought it from a second hand dealer for a reduced rate, the plane wasn't functioning properly and it was responsible for the 2013 air crash where everyone died, I was also able to find out that evidence of his dealings are kept in what he called the red file and only he knows where he keeps it."

"Why would he keep the evidence when he knows it's dangerous to him, why didn't he destroy it?" Jasmine asked.

"He used to threaten those that was involved with him in the deal, it's was like a leash on them to make them remain loyal." Emma explained.

"How did you find out all this?" I asked.

"Remember Mr Lewis, president of the Neurological Society?" She asked.

"Yeah"

"He's a member of the Prime Minister's cabinet and he is involved in his shady deals, that's why I approached him in the first place" Emma said.

"So he told you?" I asked.

"Yeah, I was his secretary remember?"

"Yes but I don't think he'll tell you something that important just because you are his secretary so what did you do for him to tell you?" I asked and she kept quiet for a bit.

"I slept with him but do not judge me okay? You do not know what I've had to do to survive all those years, I sold my body and soul to keep living. Sometimes I wanted to just commit sucide but the only thing that kept me going was my will to get revenge. So it doesn't matter what I had to do as long as it helps me get my revenge." 

"I wasn't going to judge you Emma and I'm sorry, I should have been there to support you but I couldn't and you had to go through that nightmare alone." I said.

"It's fine now since I am finally getting closer to my goal. When the Prime Minister calls for you and ask you to operate on him, you'll demand for the red file and in exchange, you save his life." Emma said.

"If I heard you well, you said that file consist of evidence of all his shady deals, he will never give that up." Jasmine said.

"He will if he wants to live, he loves his work and he loves his life more and we are going to take both of them from him. He will give you the red file but you won't keep your end of the bargain, you are going to let him die in the operation room." Emma said.

"What?" Jasmine exclaimed while I just stood surprised.

"When he's dead, We'll release the file and everyone will know his deeds and no one will mourn him as a hero. So are you in Alex?" Emma asked.

"Yes I am, it's great plan" I said.

"What? No! You aren't going to kill anyone Alex" Jasmine said.

"That man killed my parents."

"I know but you can't kill him, that will only make you a murderer" she said.

"That man took everything away from me, I was right there and he shot my parents and then made me forget. Then he played me and came to me to save his daughter, I didn't remember anything and I thought he was a good man. I got close to him and sometimes he was like a father figure to me. I was laughing and dinning with the man that murdered my parents but I had no idea, even when I suspected him I refused to believe myself cause I thought he was a good man. He not only messed up my life, he played with my emotion too and that man doesn't deserve to keep breathing, he has to die even if it means I'll have to become a murderer."

"This absurd Alex, after you've get the red file from him and you submit it to the police, operate on him and save him then after that he'll be arrested and he'll spend the rest of his life in jail. That's what you should do, don't kill him." Jasmine said.

"You know nothing about the pain we've had to go through Jasmine" Emma said. "Each time it occurs to me that the man that murdered my parents is still breathing, you don't know how my heart breaks, that man is a monster and monsters aren't locked up, they are killed." 

"You won't be able to do it Alex" Jasmine said looking at me.

"After all that man has done? I will do it." I said still looking at her and she paused for a while.

"I am dissapointed in you Alex, I'm going home" she said and walked out.

"You must not get swayed Alex" Emma said.

"Yeah, I know, William Sanders has to die." I said and she nodded.

"I'll call Tony to discharge you and you'll go rest at home for the day since you'll be resuming work tomorrow, if the Prime Minister calls you, you know our plan and I don't need to tell you how to act do I?" She asked.

"Don't worry, I know what to do and I won't fuck up this time." I said.
