Amelia
We stopped at a boutique and bought a pretty black dress for the suspect Emily and of course, another pretty necklace which was around my neck. According to Alexis, madam Emily loves black colour and will definitely try on any cloth with black colour. During our drive to the house, Rolland took his time in explaining about the scar that would be expected to be on her arm since I will be the one to help her wear the dress. From the way Rolland talked about his mom, I could feel how hurt he must have been by her demise.
Rolland stopped halfway through the ride to patronize a little boy who was selling roses. Well, he gave it to me and I received it with a shy smile. A similar car to ours drove past us and was hit by a lorry, the lorry seemed to have been manipulated upon and used to carry out the operation because the driver was nowhere to be found.
I called an ambulance and we waited for the man to be taken away before proceeding to the family house. "Don't you think that was strange?" I asked Rolland who shrugged, "it seems the accident was meant for us, my enemies will not rest until I'm dead. Anyways, I hope this visit of ours bring something fruitful".
We arrived at the house and was ushered in by a maid, "look who came to visit" Emily said gleefully with a wide smile while coming down the stairs. She opened her arms and embraced us warmly, "hold on, I will tell your uncle you came to visit" she said turning to go, "oh, nevermind. I will do that myself" Rolland said scratching the back of his neck, "we bought you a dress, would you mind putting it on?, I would like to see how it fits. Melly can go with you too" Rolland said nervously, "really?, sure. Come on" she said pulling my arms. Rolland mouthed, "showtime" and winked at me.

I proceeded to Uncle's room but stopped at the door when I noticed he was on a call. His door was left ajar and he looked really furious, "What do you mean?!" He yelled then scoffed, "he's just one man, one stupid young boy. What's so hard in taking him out of the way, you incompetent fool?!" He stumped his foot now. "I don't care how risky it might be, I want you to hack into his account, I want him bankrupt since it seems very hard to get through my little nephew. Hack into that account and send everything to me, find a way to make his assistant get something from him. Do your hear me?" He yelled before throwing the phone on the bed in frustration.
"What are you doing?" Lily, my uncle's daughter said behind and I turned to her with a glare, "wait a minute, were you just eavesdropping on my dad?" She asked with a dramatic shriek, "shut your stupid mouth Lily and just run along like a mad dog that you are" I snapped angrily.
Our voices must have forced my uncle to come out of his room. He looked shocked to see me but was quick to hide it, but he can't fool me anymore, "Rolland?, You're here. How long have you been standing here?" He asked nervously, "not long enough" I answered my face burning in rage, how could he pretend that he didn't plan evil on me a while ago?. "That's not true dad, he was listening to your conversation" Lily chirped, "are you calling your brother a liar?" My uncle defended, Lily huffed angrily before going down the stairs.
My phone rang and I brought it out to see that Kelvin was calling me, "excuse me uncle, I need to take this" I said moving out, when I was out of earshot, I came on the line, "What's up Kel?" I asked trying my best to be calm. "Jennifer opened up" he answered, "Jennifer?, The assistant?, What did she say?" I asked getting interested in the conversation, "turned out she was working alongside Romeo and the black guys. She is working for your uncle" he announced.
I didn't know if I should be happy that I finally found out who my enemy was or be furious because my enemy was my own blood. I gave out a weird cackle pushing my hands in my hair, I punched the wall in anger trying my best to keep calm. "Boss, I got everything under cover, please don't try anything funny, I got this okay?" Kelvin pleaded and I smiled tearfully, "Steven, Alexis and Daisy are on their way to the house. The police have been contacted, soon they will be there" He explained before going off the line.

I stared at the scar in her arms in shock, "how did you get that?" I asked and she smiled, "a friend did that to me" she replied with a smile, I tried my best to return it but I couldn't. We left the room but couldn't find Rolland anywhere, Lily was chewing gum loudly as she sat lazily on the couch in the living room. "Baby, did you see Rolland?" Emily asked, "he's upstairs" she replied, her eyes landed on me and she scoffed, "what are you?, His side dog?" she sneered but I knew better than to respond.
Rolland came down alongside his uncle and at the same time Steven, Daisy and Alexis came in. I was confused, was that the plan?. Some policemen rushed in and held Emily, Lily and his uncle. "What's happening here?, let me go you idiots" Lily yelled, "Son, what is this?" His uncle asked calmly.
Rolland took long strides and almost choked him when he got to him, "I. am. not. your. son" he stated with bloodshot eyes. Evans entered to meet the scene, he pushed Rolland aside roughly, "what's going on here?" He asked. "Mr Stones, you and your family are under arrest for the case of the Murder of Mr and Mrs Johnson Stones, your brother and his wife. We have all evidences to prove you're guilty, so if you would cooperate with us, it will be well appreciated" one of the cops said.
"Murder?, Mom, dad, you killed uncle John?" Evans asked in shock, "we did it for you" Emily sobbed, "for me?, How could you do such evil and claim to do it for me?" Evans asked. "I wanted the best for you son, I wanted your success and my brother and his family were in the way. There were obstacles to me and I had to do something about it" Mr Stones said. I held Rolland tightly to stop him from attacking the old man again.
"Obstacles dad? How would you feel if I had seen Lily as one and did something as dreadful as what you have done to your brother to her?. You didn't want my success, you were just after the money. Ever since Rolland came back from no where, you have always been comparing me to him. You mad me feel worthless and unproductive, I thought that if I studied well, I would be acknowledged for once by you. I hated him dad, when you should be the one I should be hating. He's innocent and doesn't deserve your wickedness. You know what, I hope you guys rot in jail, take them away officers" Evans stated and turned to us, "Rolland, words cannot explain how sorry I am to you for all I have done to wrong you. I was blinded by jealousy and hatred that I didn't see the good in you. Please forgive me". He said remorsefully and Rolland smiled brightly at him. I squeezed his hand, "and Amelia, I'm sorry for being a Jerk, welcome to the family and thank you for helping expose those evil doers" Evans smiled at me. Lily stood at a corner watching us reunite, she must have been very ashamed, I flashed her a smile but she looked away in guilt.
We all left the mansion after Emily and her husband were arrested.
