"I-I can't believe it's you!"
Aliyah is a daughter of a rich business man who grew up an only child raised by her only father ,after finishing her studies abroad she came back home to meet her father's dead body in his pool of blood murdered ruthles...
"Look it's the first car that passed earlier" Rox called out to the two ladies breaking the awkward tension building up in the room. Aliya Immediately gave the screen attention and watched as Rox stopped it and zoom the car number confirming the suspicion.
"That means we have two suspicious cars" Sofia said nodding her head at Aliya's direction.
"Yeah B221AC and APC-213" Amanda also agreed as Aliya marked on her small book.
The sound of the opening of a door and a lady's voice interrupted them as two figures came into view which is of a lady in a blue kneecap length floral gown with flower patterns covering every inch of the gown in pink and white flower colours, accompanied with white high heels and white small bag in hand,her African curls done in a middle bun tied with pink ribbon complimented with pink big stars ear rings. She look exactly like a model with her face, dressing and her body.
The man beside her who looks in his 50's look at Aliya and her crew before he turned his attention to Fareeha who stood up immediately when she saw them.
"Mom! We didn't see you inside the house and were told you're here what's wrong?" The lady asked checking the room and her mother.
"Is everything alright Fareeha?" The older man ask Fareeha with concern written all over his face.
"Yes everything is alright Fawaz and you too Riya am fine".
"Oh. Okay and..." the older man who was referred to as Fawaz answered and his train of sight trail to Aliya as he squinted his brows as if recognising her a little.
"Actually..it's Aliya Sultan Malik, Sultan's daughter..."
"Oh! The new CEO of Textile Production company, am sorry about your dad" he offered his hand and Aliya shook it with a small smile and also shook the daughter Riya's hand as she gave it to her issuing her condolences.
"So how's work as the leader?" Mr. Fawaz asked smiling at Aliya warmly.
"Lots of responsibilities on my small shoulders" Aliya answered laughing slightly at her answer.
"Yes it always is"
"Yeah I...was actually off work to my home when I saw this mansion that blended with the hills so...I thought I will be able to find something if you guys have a CCTV camera that video's the highway".
"Yes we do I hope you got what you were looking for?".
"Yes I did and am so grateful Thanks alot for your help"
"It's nothing Aliya" Mrs. Fareeha answered smiling widely at Aliya.
"Okay I guess we're leaving now and thanks again Rasheeds, it was nice meeting you "
"Same here"
"Have a goodnight "
They bid goodbye and left Rasheed's residence driving to Malik's residence.
They drove along the dark roadside which was only illuminated by the streetlights and the little light that shone from the moon which most part of it was covered by the night clouds darkening the sky more and obstructing the appearance of the stars.
They got out of the car arriving at the mansion and everyone went into their respective rooms to freshen up before eating dinner.
After almost an hour after they disappeared to their rooms, Amanda and Sofia came out and walked down the stairs to the dining room where different foods were displayed and they sat down.
"Where's Aliya?" Amanda asked after she got seated and there was no sign of Aliya.
"She requested her dinner to be delivered to her room" the maid serving them replied
"Ohk. Just hope she isn't working again" she mumbled and started eating relaxing her tense shoulders when her taste bud got hit by the food juice.

"Hello Rayyan. Can you meet me at the office now?"
"Sure ma'am I'll be there in a few minutes" the other side of the phone answered.
And just as he said, few minutes after the call the large tall older guard knocked on the office door.
"Come in" he opened the door and walked in after getting the permission to and took a seat across Aliya when she motioned him to the seats.
"I've a job for you Rayyan" she finally said after keeping the file she was on when he came in at the side.
"Say it ma"
"I need to find someone I could hire who will monitor Adam Samson's movements mostly as his guard".
"Adam Samson?" He asked suprise etched on his stony features and voice.
"If I may ask ma'am why do you want to monitor him?" He asked her confused as he watched her stare at him with her brow raised up.
"You've already asked before I permit you" Aliya said as she watch him look downward with a bashful smile and scratch his stubborn curls breaking the cold features she knows him with.
"He tricked father, and I've a very big suspicion on him" she said looking sideway at the shelf that stretched at the far left side of the office and let the words sink into him and her again.
"If I may..."
"No Rayyan just go do the job" she said with a finality to her voice leaving no room for questions or arguement.
"Yes ma'am" he stood up and nodded at her direction before leaving the office and closing the door gently not to disrupt her thoughts.
"Adam Samson tricked old boss but on what? That sly fox, he's a very good deceiver and manipulator I wonder how he tricked boss. He must've paid someone boss trusted.
And now how am I going to get someone who can do this job perfectly without exploding it cause it's almost impossible to trick that guy who's very good at tricking and manipulating people" Rayyan continued talking to himself as he walk down the stairs and almost collided with Amanda who was going to walk up the stairs.
"Hey Rayyan?"
"Yeah. Oh am sorry I wasn't watching where I was going "
"Yeah I saw that you were mumbling to yourself is everything alright?".
"Yeah all is good"
"Ohk where're you coming from upstairs?"
"Miss Aliya's office " he stated simply and Amanda watched him in the eyes enquiring more information from the older man without opening her mouth to say the words.
"She gave me a job to find someone who will monitor Adam Samson" he stated furtherly with his blank face and nodded towards her before leaving to start his new job.
