They say revenge is best served cold. What's if life make turns that aren't predictable. People whom you once thought were friends are your biggest enemies. Alice learnt that at small age.
Alice was once an innocent girl. Everyone agree, she was innocent, intelligent,smart, loving and caring. She sometimes feed street kids out of her pocket money.
She was spoiled by her parents but that didn't change her character. She was loved by everyone. But what she didn't know is that, when you think everyone loves you, you are fooling yourself.
Because of her good heart. Some people takes advantage of that and it lead her to a deadly nightmare.
Some rich kids at college would show off their money but she didn't care or look at them. They would drive to school with fancy cars, hosting big parties, wearing expensive clothes and some would bragg about their parents money
She was devoted in her school studies and that did made her parents so proud in everything.
Days after murder
"Prosecution you can continue questioning the defendant"
Her body got all tensed , hearing his words. She possed for a moment, before replying the man in front of her ready to bomber her with questions,with an arrogant face. She shift her Gaze from him to an old women opposite her who was looking more angry than anyone else.
"Miss Alice Devon do you agree to the charges against you" prosecutor asked from his chair walking to the center of courtroom
Taking a deep breath, she replied "no" with a quivering voice. The pain she felt hounded her. She tried so hard to restrain tears prickling her eyes but it was next to impossible. She felt lonely. Everyone she knew were nowhere in the room.
What a lonely and brutal life.
Day of Murder
"Alice Wake up," that was Mrs Matt Devon her mother.
" It's finally that day Alice wake up" her mother was so excited.
She was finally graduating from Hilton University after five years.
She looks few steps inside Alice's room and shouts " congratulations"
With embarrassment Alice covered her face with a duvet.
" Mom please"
Her mother get close to her "am not going to stop till you wake up from your bed. Wake up l want to sit in front row"
Uncovering herself " mom our seats are reserved. No need to rush am tired"
" Tired of what? Hmm, you don't do anything except spending your day at your friends house. Am the one who spends the whole day looking for something for you to wear today. So wake up before get mad you know am short tempered"
Alice couldn't be honest to her parents that she was working part-time. Not as an employee but as the boss. Her parents are over protective that's their lastborn, so they treat like an egg
The Devon family were rich but none of them was a showoff. They spend their money on expensive things but they never talks about it to anyone. If you don't see it with your own eyes then you could not notice.
When Alice opened her restaurant, she didn't tell anyone in her family. Of course her father will shut it down, as soon he found out
He did not work hard for his family to work at an early age but to eat from his fruits.
' knock knock'
"Come in" Alice shit her gaze from her mother to her nanny.
" Ma'am Mr Devon is requesting to for you" the old lady said with her head down. Not because she was scared but respect.
" What is your old man want from me Alice"
Alice laughed at her mother. She always calls him that.
" That old man is your husband, old lady Mrs Devon" as soon she that she jump from her bed to the opposite side.
" Old lady Mrs Devon? Huh"
" Yes mom, as long you call Daddy, old man. You are also old lady " she laughs at her mother's anger
"Ma'am Mr Devon said he is in a hurry"
Storming out of Alice room she parted her lips " hurry to where on his daughters graduation day" she turned to Alice " you get ready. I don't want to be late"
