Mafia’s possession:chapter 44
As he made his way outside, he met some of his men approaching from the opposite direction. Then he stopped in his tracks as he waited for them to draw nearer.
"Sir, it's a good thing we found you in time. You won't believe what we found," Santos said.
His eyes narrowed as he looked at them. "What did you find?," he questioned, his voice laced with curiosity.
Santos hesitated, then he gathered the courage to speak. "We found this mask and matching outfit in a room," Santos stretched his hand, giving Alexander a bag.
He collected the bag and zipped it open. And then dipped his hands into the bag. His fingers grazed a soft texture. He held it with his fingers and brought it out. It was a black mask, the exact type he saw on the video recordings. There was a stunned expression on his face.
Peering into the bag, he brought out the other outfit. It was a black baggy t-shirt and pants. Which the culprit wore. He was ready to send whomever it was to the darkest part of hell!
He knew that the culprit would be found. From what he saw in the recording. A maid had gone into the room where the masked culprit came out from.
For now the maid was the only solid lead they have. She has some explaining to do.
"Where did you find this?," he inquired.
Santos wiped off the beads of sweat on his face. He did not know how to say it. When he found the bag in one of the rooms, he was shocked by his bone marrow. Because the room was occupied by someone Alexander trusts so much.
Alexander had a glint of rage in his eyes. He glared at Santos. "Have you lost your voice? Talk!!" he barked harshly.
Santos sighed deeply. "It was found in granny Penelope's room."
Alexander's face contorted in shock and his eyes were narrowed to a slit. "What the hell are you yapping about?"
"Yes, it was found in granny Penelope's room. I am surprised as you are," one of the men spoke out loud.
Alexander scowled at him and he kept shut. Turning to Santos he spoke in a cold harsh tone. "Are you sure about that?"
Santos nodded in the affirmative. "It was found there."
Holding the bag in his hand, he walked away. Heading towards the door. His men followed him closely behind.
He still couldn't wrap his mind around the fact that it was found in granny Penelope's room. Did she have anything to do with it?
But she travelled the previous day. And Jacqueline was attacked this morning. Something does not seem right. But the figure he saw had a slim frame just like granny Penelope.
Then why did the maid enter the room within that time frame?
Silence fell over all the domestic staff the moment they saw him. His presence had a terrifying effect on them as they all stood in fear. None could look him in the eyes as he towered over them.
Jacqueline stole a glance at him and when Alexander's eyes scanned their faces, he caught her staring at him and their eyes locked for a brief moment. Before she looked away.
Alexander watched as she averted her gaze from him and looked downward. His eyes lingered on her for a few minutes before he continued to scan their faces.
His eyes fell on a maid and he recognized her. She was the maid who had gone into the room.
She equally has a slim build just like Penelope and the same as the figure in the recording.
With a satisfied look on his face, he spoke, "You, step forward," he pointed at the maid.
Everyone's gaze followed the direction of his finger which pointed to one of the maids.
The maid's face blanched in horror as her eyes grew huge with fright. She started fidgeting. "D..d," her voice faltered.
Alexander was enraged by her refusal to step forward. He gave a nonverbal cue to his men. And two of them walked towards the maid and dragged her to Alexander.
Jacqueline stood and watched in surprise. She did not understand what was happening. The men forced her to her knees and the maid started sobbing.
"You can all leave," he dismissed. They started to disperse and as Jacqueline turned her back to leave, she was halted by Alexander's voice.
"Stay back, Jacqueline," Alexander said.
She turned to face him. His demeanour had changed into a hardness she had never seen. His eyes bore a cold steely look.
He handed a bag to one of his men and signaled Santos. Who brought out a pistol which he handed to him.
Jacqueline gasped in shock. As he pointed the gun at the maid. The maid screamed as she saw the gun. Her scream pierced through Jacqueline's heart and she looked away.
"Boss, don't kill me," the maid pleaded amidst tears.
Alexander took slow dangerous steps towards the maid and his imposing figure stopped in front of her. "What is your name?"
The maid shivered and her trembling voice could be heard. "M...My n..name is Ivana."
"Ivana, I want you to tell me the truth," Alexander growled.
Ivana was consumed with fear. She kept shivering as someone who had caught a cold. Her tears flowed endlessly.
"Am I understood?," he thundered. And Ivana trembled at the sound of his voice.
"Y..Yes," she whispered.
Jacqueline shut her eyes tight. She couldn't bring herself to continue watching the scene before her. It left a bitter taste in her mouth. Her breathing became hard as it came in quick succession. Her heart drummed hard against her chest.
"Jacqueline was attacked, do you know anything about it?"
Ivana shaked her head. In tears she responded. "I don't have an idea of what is going on. I swear on my life."
"Your life, huh," Alexander sneered. "You'll lose it at the drop of a hat if you don't start talking."
