Chapter 2 The Madison’s evil plans
Where are you coming from? Asanel Anderson?" Her mum's voice was heard behind her.
"Mum.." Asanel called and turned back.
"I asked you a question? Where were you?" Matilda asked, walking towards her.
"Mum, I went out with a friend.." Asanel answered.
Matilda sighed and then hugged her daughter gently.
"I'm sorry sweetie, I know I've not been here for you, for sometime now but I just can't help it. I really want to unravel that case, about what happened to lady who was raped to death..' Matilda said.
Well, unfortunately for Asanel, her mum, Matilda was a dedicated and hardworking journalist and her Dad, too a CIA agent. He was rarely at home. Asanel couldn't say she was close to both her parents, since they were both busy.
"I have a strong feeling that 'The Madisons are involved with this.." Matilda said and Asanel broke the hug.
The Madisons were the ruling family of the city. James Madison was the governor and also a wealthy tycoon, he owns different companies in the city and also overseas. He's also the founder and owner of Asanel's high school. His wife, Lauren Madison was also a congresswoman but she was his second wife. They had three children -Jason Madison, Tyson Madison and Rebecca Madison.
"Mum, not again.." Asanel said.
"Sweetheart, believe me. It's true and that's why I want you to stay away from their son, their family is up to no good. One of the witnesses confessed that James is a drug lord.."
Asanel's eyes widened immediately she heard that.
"And lately, both me and your dad has been receiving death threats.."
"I was almost run over by a car, yesterday. Everything can't just be a coincidence..." Matilda said and Asanel nodded. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
She actually didn't want to believe it but then she remembered she received a parcel a week ago from an unknown person. And when she opened it, she found her parents and her picture stained with blood and a note saying "Beware of your actions or you will lose your family.."
Asanel sighed. She didn't want to think about it. She was too young for this.
"Mum, where's dad? He's supposed to be home today.." Asanel said.
"That's true.." Matilda said and just then her phone rang. She smiled when she saw it was her husband calling.
"It's your dad.." She told Asanel and she answered the call.
"Honey.." She called.
"Maltida, I've found something relating to the rape case.." Daniel said and the smile on Matilda's face erased almost immediately.
"What? Tell me. How did you find out?" Matilda asked.
"It's related to 'The Madison's'. They have a hand involved with it and also some of the politicians are involved too.."
"Wait, but are you sure you are not followed. Are you safe?" Matilda asked.
"Don't worry, I'm safe but then, Matilda, no matter what happens, stay strong for Asanel and our family. No matter what happens, be strong.." Daniel said.
"What are you saying? You are making me scared!" Matilda chuckled nervously.
"It's nothing. I love you very much and Asanel also. Tell her I love her very much. I'll see you at home.." He said and then hung up.
"Mum, what's the matter? You look tense?" Asanel asked and Matilda sighed.
"Your dad called and he said he found some evidence against 'The Madison's' but then he was speaking in parables.."
"Anel, go and rest for now. It's getting late already. I'll wake you up tomorrow.." Matilda said and then kissed Asanel's forehead.
'Goodnight mum.." Asanel sai
d and walked into her room.

Asanel got into her room and she fell on the bed remembering what happened earlier today. And now, what's the Madison's connection to the rape case and also her parents.
Asanel picked up her phone, then she turned it on and then her phone beeped. She gasped when she saw it. It was a message from Jason. She already missed 10 messages from him and 12 missed calls from him.
"I really love you so much, Asanel"
"What happened today, I'll take responsibility for it.."
"Please give me a chance to redeem myself. Just a chance to prove myself to you"
"I love you baby, please reply me.."
Asanel sighed deeply. She remembered the kiss and smiled. He really was a good kisser. She felt butterflies in her stomach. And yeah, she didn't deny the fact that she loves him. She did but knowing the current situation of both their families.
That would be dangerous. Lauren and James already showed they didn't like her.
Asanel sighed when she remembered the competition that took place three months ago. Lauren Madison was the chief judge of the competition.
She had actually won the competition but the award was given to someone else. The look Lauren gave her was enough to shut her up and even when Jason and her were caught talking, she was warned severely by Lauren to stay away from Jason else she would be punished.
As she was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard her mum scream.
Asanel's eyes widened and she immediately wore her flip flops and ran out of her room.
She walked into her mum's room and found her on the ground crying.
Asanel rushed towards her immediately and crouched before her.
'What happened mum?" She asked, confused. She was starting to get scared, seeing the way her mum was crying now.
"Mum, what happened?" She asked again with fear in her voice.
"It's your dad.." Matilda said and hiccupped.
"Wh..what happened to dad?' Asanel stuttered.
"He was shot. He was shot multiple times in the heart and he's.. he's dead!" Matilda released the bombshell and Asanel's eyes widened. Tears rushed out of her eyes immediately.
**
A man walked into his bedroom chuckling silently as he did. He got in and closed the door.
"The job's done, right?" He asked.
"I'm glad it's done. It's one burden off my neck.." He smiled and the door of the bathroom opened and a woman walked out of it, in her nightie. She walked to the ber and sat on it.
Her husband hung up and faced her.
"Lauren, it's done. The CIA agent is gone now.."
Lauren chuckled and then stood up. She walked to the drawer, opened it and brought out a pack of cigarettes. She took out one and lighted it, then she placed it in between her lips.
"That's right. That family has been a pest. It's just only the wife and daughter, we have to do something about them also. Especially Matilda, she's getting on my nerves.." Lauren said and puffed out the smoke.
"Calm down, Lauren. We will take it one at a time. Let them mourn their loved one's death and it will be their turn soon.." James said.
"And yes, about their daughter, I think she's having a relationship with Jason. It's obvious Jason loves her. Jason has never gone against us before but he did so, when we didn't give her the award. We
should not allow that to happen. You know Jason is already betrothed.." Lauren said and James smirked.
"What's her name again?" He asked Lauren.
"Asanel Anderson.." Lauren replied.
