Shadows Of Betrayal

Chapter thirty- three- The devil

"Ohk, but how?"

"You see..I got some cars I want you to search them all over the city cameras I already have their plate numbers but we'll start from the parking lot of the House of Assembly as we missed that the first time and didn't check everywhere properly. I was told there was a suspicious person in a car that looked to be watching my dad" Aliya patiently explained to the young man sitting opposite her as he vigorously nodded to her words.

"Ohk. I think it'll be more convenient to work it in your security room as there're more systems to use in case there's more need of it which there'll be" Zyn said now looking at Aliya.

"Okay then we can go now what do you think? Just fix a time am sure as a student you have lots to do" Aliya suggested looking between Yazeed and then settled on Zyn who fell into thought.

"How about this weekend, am sorry I quietly have a lot to do that has deadlines " he said timidly thinking it'll upset Aliya as she's someone he came to understand that like things to be done quiet at a quick time, earlier than later.

"Sure" she clasped her hands and fell into thoughts for a moment before she blurted out what Yazeed and Zyn thought was obvious to everyone.

"You know I didn't knew you guys live together at first, I thought he just came for the work" she said looking between them as Zyn's mouth open and close like a fish out of water not knowing what to say while Yazeed lifted his brow and a little smirk tugged at his lips as he watch Aliya in amusement.

"Zyn is my cousin " he said curtly watching as Aliya lifted her brow and nodded in understanding and her lips curve down in what he could only interpret as realization at the moment.

"Well I think we should leave now I need to see if Rayyan has done his job" she said getting up and walking out without waiting for a response from anyone, that's Aliya she only said the 'we' in courtesy but in her mind she only meant herself.

Yazeed quickly got up catching up with her and walked her out to her car. They walk in silence only their footsteps sounding in their ears.

"The job you gave Rayyan to do, is it related to this?" He asked as they come to a stop in front of Aliya's car.

"Yeah it's "

"What's it about?"

"Adam Samson. It's about monitoring Adam Samson, someone that can monitor his every move and report it to me" she said releasing a sigh and looking into the distance and her eyes glaze with hidden fire of anger, ablaze again.

"Adam Samson! Why?, what's our relationship with him, or are you suspecting he's the one behind all of this?" Yazeed asked Aliya who seems rooted and in thought.

"Yeah I've a very powerful suspicion of him being the mastermind but it's more than that, he has done something tricky and complicated " she stated with a sigh as she unlock her car and hopped in before glancing at the handsome tall man who is in thought and confusion trying to process her words.

"I'll tell you about it sometime" she said seeing the two ladies she left in the room came out approaching them to their car.

"Okay. I'll see you at work tomorrow and...take care of yourself " he said smiling warmly at her before closing her door and walking back to his doorstep. He watch as Aliya drove out of the estate with a good speed hurrying to get home and recieve good news.

She hopped out of the car after getting into the mansion and walked inside after assigning a guard to summon Rayyan to her office. She proceeded to her office without even going to her room to change or freshen up, she was eager to put this plan on move since she couldn't proceed with the other one so at least she should have one moving unfortunately and unknowingly to Aliya, the plan won't start tonight.

"Hey Rayyan" she said to Rayyan who stepped into the office after getting permission and she gestured him to the seat opposite her and she watch him take his seat and adjust his suit.

"Good evening Ms Aliya"

"Evening. Hope there's good news Rayyan? Where's the person?"

"Well.. I got someone who can do the job but he isn't in the state so, he'll be in the city at the end of the week or on weekdays, then I'll bring him here" Rayyan stated the report, looking at Aliya who's biting her cheek inwardly and lips in thought after his report.

"Oh" she mumbled nodding her head before she set her eyes back on him.

"That's not bad I'll be waiting " she said and watched him leave the office before she also walk out of it and went to her room to freshen up and came down to dinner although she had initially wanted to order it to be delivered to her room, she thought it had been a while since she saw Mrs.Riya so she came down and went to the kitchen.

She walk into the smooth white marble kitchen with black furnitures, she saw the kitchen maids work around.

"Hey Mrs. Riya" Aliya greeted as her eyes set on the kitchen head maid who she came to see.

"Hi Aliya" the older woman greeted back with a wide smile stretching her face and creating more wrinkles around her eyes showing the amount of time she has been smiling in her life.

"It been a while since I saw you Aliya, hope you doing good?" The older woman asked Aliya still smiling as she watch Aliya walk around the counter and stopped next to her.

"Yeah am doing great Mrs. Riya and you?" Aliya asked the older woman that worked in the Sultan's mansion since she was young.

"An doing fine Aliya, how's your work in the company hope you're not over exerting yourself?" The woman asked slightly worried for the girl she had watched grown into a fine woman like a wine.

"Everything is going alright Mrs. Riya, the last time I talked to you If I remembered correctly, your daughter was at the hospital or was she discharged, how's she now?".

"She's absolutely fine now, you don't need to worry".

"And your husband?"

"Oh. He's fine,he suppose to be here by now to eat, he has been whining earlier about how hungry and tired he's as he had been working since morning " mrs. Riya said laughing fondly remembering her husband's personality, he is as grumpy as a little kid whose sweet has been taken away, always waiting for a chance to throw a tantrum or complain.

"Oh there he's " she added immediately seeing her grumpy husband walk into the kitchen in large strides.

"Riy Where's my food am really hungry and tired, Aliya has been wearing me out as if she has no sympathy for these old bones" his voice started whining and complaining immediately when he set eyes on his wife not realizing the one he's back biting is next to her.

"She really want to kill this poor husband of yours and leave you a widow while making me a lonely ghost" he continued whining as he put his hands around his wife's waist hugging her from the back asking for justice on Aliya's cruelty while the kitchen staffs only turn their head shaking it in amusement and sympathising with him who's already in trouble while some only giggle hiding it behind their hands watching as Aliya only choose to listen with raised brows waiting for him to finish.

Aliya watch the sweet old couple in amusement as he continued to ramble just to get his wife's attention.

"Believe me Riy, Aliya has grown into a devil, she really needs deliverance " he added sinking his face into the older woman's neck and pretending to be sniffing while Mrs. Riya only shook her head at her dumb husband who uptil now hasn't realize the Aliya he's back biting just to get her attention is beside him, today is really an unlucky day for him.

"So I'm a devil Rowan" Aliya's cold voice interrupted him as he felt shiver down his spine and he stiffened before he slowly turn to see the devil in skin.
