Chapter twenty one

I acted as thou I saw nothing and took dad back to his room, Helen was nowhere to be found but later on I found out from kaida that Helen had gone to Paris for a few days. I told her that I am busy and I wanted privacy so i was going to stay in my room the entire day.

What happened this afternoon gave me an idea of what step I needed to do and what I needed to do next. I stayed in the room and recovered the CCTV footage of what happened last night, I had shut the footage so that no one saw me, but what happened afterwards is an advantage for me. The entire house had CCTV footage expect the bedrooms for privacy.

I wanted the footage of the conversation between helen and kaida, so I had to use the CCTV footage from outside Helens room, the video and audio quality was great and you could see and hear everything they said clearly. Next I got the footage of kaida and Thomas argument, removed some parts and saved the footage into my flash drive which looked like an earring, no body would know.

Very good, I sent a copy to Kendall Joseph and Steven for security purpose Incase I lost mine. Tha maid bought my dinner to my room and I ate, bathed and changed into my night gown.

In the next couple of weeks I flirted with Thomas and got him in my honey trap, now he would be willing to do absolutely anything for me, that's how much a desperate and tempted man is, as I came out from my bath one morning and was brushing my hair I felt arms wrapped around me, I looked at the mirror and I saw Thomas hugging me from behind and sniffing my hair, disgusting.

I broke free from his hug and pushed him away, " what do you think you are doing huh" I asked angrily.

" Why are you pushing me dear, I thought you liked me" he said. " Yes I did, but after what I heard today, I don't think I like you again" I said crossing my hands over my breast.

" And what did you hear that made you disinterested in me" he asked.

" I saw a video footage, of you and kaida arguing two weeks ago. It was a security footage, I lost my diamond watch and wanted to watch the footage to see if anyone stole it and that's when I saw the argument between you two" I said.

" It's okay, whatever u saw is right, but I promise you I can change for you babe" he said trying to reach for my hand but I backed off.

" If you can betray your fiancee, kill your baby mama and alot more, what is it you can't do and what is it you would do to me, no I can't take any risk" I said.

" What do you want me to do to prove myself to you" he asked. Hmmmph only if I didn't know, he is only doing all this to get me in bed that's all, but I would take full advantage of that.

" You need to record yourself confessing to all your crimes. I will send it to a close confidant, if anything happens to me, that record would be taken to court and you have to face the judgement, agreed" I asked him.

You could see uncertainty in his expression and anxiousness in his eyes. He scratched his head and was silent for like 10 mins pondering hard. " Okay, I agree, anything for you baby love" thomas said with an awkward smile.

" Good, that's one of my 3 conditions, secondly no intimacy till we obtain our goal, and till you separate from kaida, and the third condition, you would know some day not now. Agreed" I asked.

Even more awkward Thomas agreed to my conditions. I set up my phone camera and Thomas sat down and recorded himself confessing to each and every crime of his, after that I told him am sleepy and that we would meet tomorrow and sent him off.

I had slept for less than an hour when beeps woke me up, I heavily looked at my phone and it was 12:00am sharp, and they were 3 messages on my phone from Kendall, Selena and Steven.

Oh, it's my birthday, yeah right, I rubbed my eyes sleepily but decided to check the messages.

Selena: " happiest birthday to the best mommah in the whole world, I love you mommah, and I pray the heavens bless you with lots and lots of happiness, Selena loves you and misses you, my greetings to grandpa as well. And I know my mommah would defeat the bad guys because she is the strongest".

"Oooh, my sweet sweetheart, mommah also loves and misses you alot darling, and mommah would return soon with grandpa after completely defeating the bad guys". I replied her.

Second it was Kendall: " happiest birthday cookie, wow, the small cookie theif aria is now aging, lol. I wish you the best and happiest birthday dearest and I love you always, just don't sneak into the kitchen to steal cookies okay, love Kendall and Joseph" Kendall sent with laughing emojis

" Silly you, yeah I did sneak cookies but you used to eat all the cupcakes leaving only papers for the rest of us, you are a glutton while I just take a few cookies. Anyways I love you too mie favorite cousin and my greetings to Joseph as well, am really happy" I replied her.

Lastly was Steven: " Happiest birthday ruby, I know you're probably angry at me, I mean yeah my fight with you earlier was unreasonable but I promise you it's just because I care about you. Am really sorry you know how I can be, ruby, you are special beyond words and I really really want to see you happy, and I know you won't make the wrong decision to achieve your revenge, happiest birthday, may your life always be filled with happiness, prosperity and blessings forever, remember you are special and deserve to be cherished and am really glad that you chose me as your friend, enjoy your day and stay safe".

Typical Steven, he would mess up things in his anger but once he cools down he regrets and apologize, and how can I be angry with him for long, he had been my supporting rock and had always been there for me every single time I needed, and his friendship is one of my best gifts in life.

" Steven, my birthday gift every year is having a wonderful friend like you, I can't stay angry with you for long, and whatever you did was out of care and concern for me hence I understand, thank you for always been there for me and Selena everytime, you are none like other for us and we both love you so much, thank you" I replied him.
