Bab 17: Chapter 17_ Eve

Alice got to Eve compound and rings on the alarm bell. "Coming," A voice said and seconds later the door was opened. A nice looking woman came out.

"Hello ma'am,"

"Hi young lady, are you looking for someone?"

"Yes ma, I guess you are eve mom, I'm…."

"Eve?" She asked cutting in her words, "Nope, I'm not."

Alice didn't get what she said; she went further to introducing herself. "Okay. I'm Alice, eve friend. I came…"

"Who's Eve?" She interrupted

"Sorry?" she asked making sure she heard the right words.

"Eve you said, doesn't live here. I'm a childless mother."

"Sorry ma'am, but I mean Evelyn Adams, and sure this is her resident because I most times dropped her off at the gate."

"I'm sorry young lady, that friend of yours must have made a fool at of you."

"B.., But she told me.., I stuttered confusedly and ashamed while the woman folded and hands and stare at me. I became speechless immediately and I walk like a zombie out of the compound with my head on the ground, my heart in regret and my mind in thoughts.

"What's going on?" I mumbled to myself as I get to my car. I look back at the mansion again. "Does this really mean Eve had been lying to me all along? Is this why…," I hesitated and has a memory flashed back.

FLASH BACK

At school, I, Eleanor and Eve all stand outside at school closed. Soon, Eleanor driver came in a dark shaded car. "I have to leave now bitches." Eleanor said and left.

I was about walking into the car when eve stopped me. "Alice can you drop me at house, my driver isn't coming today."

"Sure," I said and she hopped in.

Minute later, we arrived Eve mansion. She get down and wave me goodbye and waited for me to leave. I drive on. Not quite long, I look at my side mirror and saw Eve walking back.

END OF FLASH BACK

"So this isn't actually her house. I can believe I have been fooled by that wreck bitch."

*********

Eve mother was at eve bedroom holding unto Eve picture and crying her eyes out. It was rainy heavily outside.

"Eve, my child, where are you?" She murmured crying. "I don't even know any of your friends because you never introduce any to know. So who do I go to?" she murmured again and then Katherine flashes to her mind. "Katherine," she stated, "Yes, Katherine, she's the only friend of my daughter I know of, I should look for her, she meant know something." She concluded and put on her jacket, takes her umbrella and run out into the rain.

Katherine was Eve best friend until one day. They had known each other since they were both in middle school. Katherine was average rich just like Eve. Her mother owns a grocery store and her father was a taxi driver unlike Eve whose mother was just an ordinary petty farmer and she knew nothing about her father since childhood. They got separated when Eve got a scholarship into kloger high and she started going out with the rich kids. She never wanted her friends to know about her status or found her with Katherine so she had to end things up with Katherine just to maintain her fake status.

Katherine was in her mother shop that evening when she suddenly saw eve mother standing before her, socked by the rain. She was astonished as she wasn't expecting her anytime soon.

"Mrs. Adams" She called

Minutes later, Mrs. Adams shattered beneath a tree. At this time, the rain had stopped. Katherine walked to her with a cup of hot coffee. She handed it to her but she rejected it.

"It'll keep you warm." Katherine said but she refused with a head shake. She gave up and sat down beside her. "I'm sorry about your daughter disappearance."

Mrs. Harry then turned to Katherine and asks, "You knew about it?" And she nodded. "My Mom told me about it."

"Katherine, you're her closest to my daughter. You must have known here she is right?"

"I actually have no idea where she is right now."

"But you use to know everything about her."

"That was then Mrs. Adams, not anymore. We have long separated from being friend. She had new friends now. You should ask her new friends in Kloger."

"That's the problem; I know none of her friends. She never introduces any to me." She wiped the tear dripping from her eyes and went on, "Do you by any chance know any of her friend's addresses"

Katherine hesitated for a while and then answers, "I think I do."


Bab 18: Chapter 18_ True identity

Alice was at the dinning with her parent and kid brother. Breakfast was served. Everybody was already eating expect Alice who keep fighting with the cutleries and it makes discomforting sounds. Her mom was force to ask what was bothering her.

"Alice, what wrong? You're not eating." Miss Davison asked her disturbed daughter.

"Nothing, I just don't feel like eating." Alice replied

"You look bother, are you okay."

"I'm good."

"You're sure?"

"I said I'm fine! I just don't have appetite, please let me be." Alice yelled. Her kid brother suddenly stopped eating and he stared at her.

"Mom, Alice is probably not okay." He Murmured.

"Alice, are you sick?" Mr. Davison then asked.

"Jezz! Dad, I said I'm fine. I'm not a baby anymore so stop treating me like one." She yelled angrily and suddenly the doorbell rings. "I'll get that." Alice said, stands up and walked to the door. She opened the door.

"Hello ma'am, how can I help you?" She said to a middle age woman standing outside, poorly dressed and looking familiar.

"Are you Alice?" she asked.

"Yes, I am. Do I know you?"

"I'm Mrs. Adams, eve Mom."

"Eve? Shit, Hell no!"

"I guess you must be surprised?"

"You're right, right now; I'm fucking Shock to my fucking bones."

Minutes later, Alice and Mrs. Adams sat at the living room. Eve mom was serve a drink by a maid, she couldn't reject so she took it. She holds the drink as she looks around the living room which look nothing half compare to hers. No wonder eve never invited her friend's home. They're crazily rich. She thought.

Alice was shock by eve mother appearance. This isn't what she expected of her. She was looking like the trash can right now. Is this what Eve really is? Why'd she had to hide it? Why does she have to lie? She keeps questioning deep in her heart.

"Miss Alice, do you have any idea where my daughter could be?" Mrs. Adams suddenly asked.

Alice shakes her head. "No idea. I'm sorry about your daughter but I do hope she will be found soon."

"I hope so too. Miss Alice, how long have you known my daughter?"

"Since she was transfer to my school."

"Transfer? I guessed that what she told you. Were you two very close friends?"

She remains silent for a while and then answer, "I guess no. actually I thought she, no, they were my best and the only friend I had but I guess I was mistaken. I know absolute nothing about her, nothing. You know, I was freaking in shock when you told me you are Eve mom. This wasn't what I thought of you. She told me her mother owe a big eatery and her father is the director of R.R.E company in Dubai but looking at you right now, spelled that a big lie. A was a fool to have believe them and got deceived."

"Them?"

"Of course them"

"Can I have the address of the others?"

Alice smiled. "I don't actually know where she lived. I have friends and I know nothing about them, not even their resident. Doesn't that make me a big fool?"

Suddenly, Mrs. Adams phone ring. "Excuse me," she said and pick up, "Hello officer brook. Where? I'm on my way now." She hangs up. "I have to go now."

"What wrong Mrs. Adams?"

"They found my daughter."

"Really! I'm coming with you."

She drove Mrs. Adams on her car to the crime scene. Cops were everywhere so as detectives. The exact scene was separated from people.

Mrs. Adams hurried out of the car. She runs to her daughter lifeless body which was already covered on the ground. She removed the cloth half way from her body. Her body has rotted greatly with an abject smell. At once, she started crying. Alice came to her seconds later. On seeing Eve lifeless body on the ground, she covered her mouth with her two hand and cry silently.

Keisha was also at the scene hiding behind some mountain. She had flied to the scene when she had seen the news on TV. She was surprise and confused, this isn't the place she had left Eve lifeless body, neither isn't the place the scene occurred. How come did her body appear here? She thought. Suddenly, her gaze catches on Eleanor. She was standing afield the crime scene rather smiling.

"What's she doing there? Wait; don't tell me she got something to do with eve body appearing here." Soon, Eleanor began leaving. Keisha followed her secretly but lost her sooner.

"Where did she go? She asked herself looking around to see if I could find her but didn't. "I have to leave before someone sees me." She said and began leaving.

Alice was weak by what she saw. Even thou Eve have gone missing at those time, she never believe that death has already become her fate. It was still hard for her to believe even now. Mrs. Adams had been taken away by some cops and tried consoling her. Alice went back to her car. Her eyes were red and heavy. She brought out a cigarette and put it on fire. She smoke it a puff smoke heavily to the sky. Then gaze suddenly saw someone. She saw a glimpse of someone leaving and dressed in a disguised.

She wiped the tear from her my eyes. "Who the heck look familiar that so?" She thought trying to recollect who it was. "Keisha!" She murmured at once. "That's her. What's she doing here?" She said and throw the cigarette away, get out of the car and tried tracking her but she lost her in no time.

'Where did she go? Why so in a hurry? I didn't see her early. That means she didn't make her presence visible to everyone here. Why was she on hide? Does she know something about this?" She rambled.
