Boss's Right-Hand Lover

Chapter Twenty-seven

I came across another video that looked like a video call that was recorded.

Between Anna and Jake. I clicked on it

"Well. Well. Well. Look what the cat dragged in," Anna said cockily.

"What do you want?" Jake glared at her.

"Now. Now. Let's not cut to the chase just yet. First, I want to know how Charles is doing. And Dales son? How's he?"

"What do you want Anna?" Jake growled at her.

"Okay, fine. Here's the deal. I got evidence that the Prestin family has been in charge of some illegal drug businesses, and the new heir has something to do with the killings that's been going on around here. You have to send me a billion dollars if you want my silence," She said. Jake laughed.

"That's Xander's business. It has nothing to do with me," He said,  giving her a bored expression.

"Oh, really? Well it may interest you to know that I happened to be around, when you and your friend were having a heated conversation. Let's say somewhere on your way to San Diego?" Jake clenched his jaw.

"And I happened to have overheard some things," She smiled at him.

"Now, I'm no logistic, but if this information gets to the cops. I'm sure it won't sit well for your boss or you. So send me the money and you have my silence," Jake glared at her.

"When do you want it?"

"Tonight. I'll send you my account number. Bye,"  the video ended. I checked the date of the video and it was two days before Anna was brought to the mansion. I immediately sent the two videos to my phone along with the photos of Xander. I deleted every evidence that could lead to Xander and the Mafia. Just then my phone rang.

"Hey, Oscar,"

"You still at that news station?" He asked.

"Yeah, any problem?"

"There seems to be. An officer reported to the chief that Anna got a replacement today. Him and a few other officers are in their way to search Anna's office as we speak," I smiled.

I knew that Officer was observant.

"No problem, Oscar. I've got what I wanted. I'll stick around. Just to make sure the poor citizen I borrowed her ID from doesn't hit their list of suspects,"

"Sounds good," He hung up. The cops did later come and searched everywhere and interrogated everyone in the news station.

Later that day, I parked in front of Ella's house and handed her her ID.

"Also, if anyone asks why your skin's a bit lighter than before. Tell em your trying outva new sunscreen," She gave me a weird look. I got into my car and drove off. My phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Eva. It's me, Justin,"

"What's up? Any good news?"

"Yeah. Turns out Anna did give Josh updates on her everyday find. It seems she had photos of our past activities and used it to her advantage as ransom. But from what I heard, she finally got solid proof on McKenzie's dad," He informed me.

"Well, Justin. I have that proof,"

"Awesome. That's great Eva, That means we're one step ahead of the cops," there was a pause.

"Justin?"

"Yeah?"

"Any bad news?" I glanced at my phone when I heard no response.

"Justin?"

"Josh is dead, Eva. Jake killed him," My eyes widened in shock.

I accidentally swerved to the right, making the car to move out of control. I noticed I was about to hit a group of teenage girls and immediately hit the brakes, causing the car to screech to a stop. The girls screamed and ran away. I took deep breaths as I stared at the distance in thought.

"Eva, are you alright?" Jake asked in concern

Something is wrong.

"Eva?"

Jake killed Anna because she got video of him and Ralph talking. He didn't kill her because she had proof  on us. He killed her because she had proof on him.

"Eva, say something!"

Before. Ralph's. Death. My eyes  widened.

Xander!

"It was just a diversion. From the very beginning,"

"Huh? Eva, what did you say? A diversion?" Justin asked.

"All of it. Jake killed Anna because she knew his plans and killed her husband because he must've continued from where she left off,"

"Ralph confronted Jake a few days before his death. He found out Jake was helping Charles and Anna caught their conversation on video. Jake left her body where everyone would see it to create a distraction. Not for the police, but for us as well. All to cover his real plans,"

"Whose plans, Eva?" Justin asked. I clenched my fist in anger and spoke in horror.

"Charles. He killed Ralph and he going to kill Xander,"

"What? Eva, listen whatever you do, don't-," I hung up and started the car. While driving, I tried calling Xander's phone to warn him, but his line was unreachable.

"Shit!" I sped up to the mansion. On my way, I noticed smoke coming from a distance. My eyes widened in horror.

"No," I sped up faster. When I reached the mansion, I was horrified. The mansion was on fire. I saw bodies lying on the ground, burning to a crisp.

"No!" I yelled as tears fell from my eyes. Suddenly, I felt something hit me at the back of my head and before I could see who my attacker was, everything went black.
