Chapter 63
Mason's POV
I was still busy looking at some files, refusing to go home early today, I decided to work overtime, and seemed dedicated and responsible as my parents insisted it's a real task.
Sometimes I feel I am suffocating but I am happy it made me a better person to her, I smiled.
While I was still working taking soda, I got a call from one of my undercover workers who I asked to dog into the person that uploaded such news about Oliver.
"Hello," I said.
"I got bad news, sir."
"What news is that?" I asked.
"The lady Sharon is dead."
I couldn't speak for some seconds trying to digest what he just said.
"What do you mean by she is dead?"
"I followed her as you requested then I lost her, I kept searching the area for her only to see her body on the street, the police are here to cover the crime scene."
"What? But how did this happen? I can't believe it, wait there, I am on my way." I doubted what he just told me.
I quickly sent a text to Oliver about the news of Sharon.
I drove to the location where my worker is and I saw the police and Sharon's body in a stretcher.
I walked to the officer I know to ask, "What do you think happened to her Rufus?" I said to him.
"This is a confirmed murder, looking at her legs, it seems she was running from someone, she might have struggled with the person, I guess she got strangled to death. I feel the person targeted her."
"Who could be behind this? Do your best to find the killer, I have a strong feeling someone is playing a dangerous game and my best friend life might be at stake."
" We will give our best, I know Oliver will be shocked to find out his worker is dead, I will be leaving now." He said.
I entered my car and my paid worker came in.
"How did this happen? I told you to watch over her so that harm won't get to her."
"I am sorry boss, I got carried away when a kid hit her leg when I stood up, I lost her, but this is like a movie, I guess the person involved is a step ahead of us."
"As the police are digging, I want you to do the same, I feel this person doing this is close by and please be careful."
"I will, boss." He stepped out of the car as I zoomed off and packed in a dark place.
I killed this lady, how I wish I never forced her to say the truth, she would have been alive, for the first time in my life, I gave a promise that I couldn't keep.
I gave her my word that I am going to protect her for doing the right thing at the right time. I need to find the killer to clear my guilt, I won't let him or her walk around this world without being punished.
I noticed my phone has been ringing and I checked, missed calls from Daniella and Oliver.
Then Oliver called again," Mason is all over the news that Sharon is dead, is it true? "
"Yes Oliver, I am trying my best not to believe but it is the damn truth, I swear, I am going to find the killer, she died trying to expose the culprit and undo her wrong."
"Don't feel guilty Mason, I should feel guilty, I guess this unknown person might have a bad motive, I will be returning this Saturday, I will do all I can to make sure the killer is found."
"Same here." He ended the call.
Daniella's call came in, "Where are you?"
"Driving," I said.
"Okay, I am waiting for you at your house, I read the news and I guess you are feeling weak, let's have some drinks, it helps."
"On my way." I ended the call.


Oliver's POV
I hate that my best friend is feeling guilty for trying to help me, I should carry all these burdens myself. I said to myself silently.
"It's okay, don't work yourself, love, I know you are thinking so much now, the police will find the killer."
"Thank you, love, we return Saturday as planned, many things need to be attended to."
"Yes, you are right." I kissed her.
My phone rang, an unknown number, I knew it was the same guy I couldn't find.
"Love, wait here, let me get this call." She nodded.
I walked to another spot to pick the call, "Hello Oliver Weiss." He said.
"Who are you and what do you want from me?"
"Oh, it seems you received my gift for your business trip, I am just starting to ruin you and your company, now since I just killed one, the game has changed, it is bloody now." He threatened.
"What exactly do you want from me? Did I offend you?"
"I don't owe you any explanation, now Sharon is gone, who will be next?"
"Don't you dare touch my family and my friends."
"Oh, I think I know who is next, your lovely Dorothy, nice native attire."
My heart skipped a beat, "I will kill you myself." He ended the call laughing evilly.
I went to where Dorothy was standing, she was not there, I became so worried, "Dorothy."
I kept screaming her name and searching for her but couldn't find her.
Please no harm should come to Dorothy, I prayed silently.
I kept searching for her till Ma Rita got my attention saying, "I think Dorothy drank a lot, she is laying down in the dressing room."
Oh no, I pray she is not hurt?
I rushed to the place, tears left in my eyes, seeing her on the floor looking dead to me, I rushed to
see if she was okay.
Who is this person going after me and those I care for?
