She poured out her heart to me, but that wasn't my main concern, I needed to find out something important from her.
So I said," erm, ma'am is there any chance that a certain amount of money might be missing from the company?".
She ran deep in thought trying to gather up the whole truth, "no son, I don't think so because ever since our account resigned from his post, Stan my sister's husband has been the one handling it.
She says.
Is it possible that stan might be responsible for the missing money and besides if I have gotten the chance to get to know him, he might as well have been called my uncle?
"Okay, ma'am, I'll go talk with him tonight". I said as we both left room.
We barged into stan's room and he gets surprised and in a hurry to leave.
"Oh good morning Elena, what brings you to my room?". He asked falling his eyes to me.
Elene gave me the go-ahead and I told on the reason behind our sudden visit.
He frowns for a while before talking.
Stan said, he had no idea there have been a theft at the company.
And that he wasn't the only one responsible, his wife's sister also had a share in controlling the company's finance.
Stan shifted the suspicion to her, and I knew if we go on to ask, she might direct us to the next person.
Something is up.
Afterward, we left his room, Stan poked his head outside and caught us ambling in opposite direction.
How am I going to find out that truth? It felt like everyone around here wore masks on their faces, I had to think of something unless I might end up running in circle.
Well, luck comes off to be on my side, when I noticed a camera planted in my room, I pulled out a chair and climbed on to confirm my suspicion.
I never knew there was a camera home or maybe Elena planted it there, to check on me, she never seems to surprise me.
Or has this been here for long?.
Quickly I rushed out of my room in search,
I went to the storage room and viola, it was there, the CCTV footage was there.
Out of being careful, I pushed the door closed, sat down on a stool, and carefully watched through the footage.
Footage playing-----
Stan paced like he killed a person in the room, I looked at the other footage and caught Riya misbehaving in her room.
I saw her dancing to k.pop music, gosh, she was such a terrible dancer no wonder she locks herself in the room.
An hour passed nothing seems to gain my attention but everything changed when methane went into stan's room.
"Hello, uncle Stan, why did you send for me?" She says closing the door.
Something felt fishy, I enlarged the image so I could hear their conversation.
"Methane, I am in deep trouble, Elena found out about the missing money from the company, all thanks to the new worker she employed".
Stan clarified.
Methane was in no way pleased by my coming, she let out in a creepy behavior.
"It's okay uncle, I can handle him, what's his name again, oh yeah! Salam Biltmore, and trust me, he won't be able to find out anything, okay?".
She assured him.
If only she knew who's she trying to mess with.

She walks away listening to her mom's, one by one everyone in the room left.
Riya walks into my room thereafter and placed the warm glass of milk on the table.
"Make sure you drink it, she says to me".
"Thank you, Riya". I replied.
9:00 am)
I couldn't get myself to sleep, no matter how hard I try, but a good stroll will help me a lot.
The house was as quiet as a graveyard, the fountain water seized working, I went closer trying to figure out the problem when a shadow ran past me.
Immediately I turned and saw Elena talking to a man wearing a jacket.
I hid behind a truck and listened.
"Don't give me that okay, and find a Sara, I don't want her anywhere close to me".
Elena shouted.
The strange man kept on insisting that she finds someone else to do her job, if the issue gets heard by the police, all hell will surely break loose.
The man walks away.
Do I need to know if it is the same Sara, is she, my nanny? Or someone else that bears the same name as her?".
The pending question I asked got cleared up when Elena swore, that no matter what happens, Sara Scott will never be free from her sufferings, and will get killed again, the same way she murdered her son and husband.
I was angered by her words, I closed my fist, and walked away.
But before, Elena gets a hold of Sara, I'll have to get to her first.
