Her mother's daughter

There's no way

{Trying to solve something that you're not sure about it's just like unfolding a mystery..}

It was on Monday signaling the beginning of a new week. I had so many thoughts running through my mind. I called in sick since i didn't have to go to college. I felt sick due to the many thoughts running through my mind. I had to find out more of who Harry is cause according to me everything that lies in Madison's power is not real, just fake or dictated. I know there was where Harry was answering and that's Scott William. William was second in command in Madison's business. He was not someone to be trusted easily but as they say 'birds of the same feather flock together' he and Madison were good partners but i doubted Harry being his biological son. I was struggling to show him his place but before that i had to know everything about him. His likes, his hobbies, what he's best in, what he hates and so on.

I was not the kind of person who would miss my classes so the principal inquired more about it but i just informed him that everything will be good when tomorrow comes. He was reluctant at first but he finally gave in. I was glad he stopped nagging me asking so many questions of which i didn't want to answer. I was in my study room. It was much bigger when i came in here but it seemed full by now for the things I've kept in here. There were several shelves of books and two tables stocked up with files. Behind one of the shelves was a secret door revealing my private room. The room was stocked with computers and chair. The computers displayed different things according to the different investigations that i was doing.

I grabbed my coffee and sat on the chair staring at the monitor displaying Harry. He looked elegant and handsome, he was flawless, but looks can deceive. I looked at him as a smile formed on my lips. His eyes were sparkling deep blue just as mine and also that of Rapha. I remember my dad had mentioned to me that the Shepherd's had a unique eye color and now the thought of Harry's eyes caught my attention. Staring at his image reminded me of my aunt, aunt Riana. She has been missing for so long including his son. Coincidentally, her son's name was also Harry but not Harry William he was Harry Anderson. I thinking of it made my head hurt so much. I drank some painkillers and decided to have something done.

I took hold of the mouse and scrolled down through the page and there every information about him was displayed on the master computer.

Harry S. Anderson is an adopted son to Scott William. He was adopted at the age of seven after the death of his father, Silver Anderson and the disappearance of his mother, Riana R. Shepherd.

There was no much information about him but at least i know who he is but wait.... THERE'S NO WAY HE IS MY COUSIN. This is not really him. It might be a mistake. Did i tap on the wrong person? Oh no, i might have got the wrong person and that's no doubt.

I was pacing up and down in the room after playing and replaying the same thing several time. I needed some time to digest everything down. I hated Harry for what he did to me and still i didn't knew what he was planning on doing next. My heart was racing in an abnormal way for a moment i thought it would skip a beat. I was finally able to join the dots together, what grangpa said was finally coming to fulfilment that we will watch as the Shepherd's family, legacy and reputation clashes down on the ground.

This is unbelievable. There's no way I'm going to sit back and watch all this happening. All the rest of the Shepherd's family was black mailed. They do nothing according to their will that's except me, Mike and of course my mom. In the equation there's Megan and Jenny. I have to do everything it takes to bring Madison down.

I took the already cold coffee and gulped it down at once satisfied by everything.

I laid my head back on the chair and made myself comfortable. I stared at the wall clock clicking now and then. The noise that it make made me contented. A smile formed on my lips slowly as i drifted to sleep.

I was woken up by the noise of the doorbell echoing in the entire house. Whay the f**k i have slept for so long. I double checked the clock only to realize it's quarter to six in the evening. I hurriedly walked out of the room and run downstairs. As soon as i opened the door i was met with worried faces of my besties.

"What the hell Eddie," Tat asked as soon as i opened the door.

"What's wrong with you Marie," Roni beamed in worry written all over her face. She was really mad since she had never or i can say she seldomly calls me that. The rest just stared at me emotionless. I couldn't read what they were thinking, maybe they thought something had happened to me only to find me in one piece.

I shook my head at their reaction avoiding myself from laughing. "You're welcome," I said as i led the way to the living room. I made myself comfortable on the sofa and they did the same. "Well...well," i said but i was cut off. "Sorry for that but are you okay," Tat inquired with concern. "Yes I'm Tatiana i only needed a break off today to be certain," i assured her honestly. "And you didn't mind saying anything to us," it was Roni's turn. "We were only a call away," Mina who was now glued to me added. I face palmed myself guilt washing me. "I'm sorry i was too much occupied plus i didn't want to ruin your day's at school," i honestly said. "But you already did Eddie," Tat honestly said. "I'm so sorry then.. I'm good really good." They seemed to be okay since no one asked any more questions.

The evening was cool talking about everything except for Tati who kept eyeing me. I taking note of what was going on her mind and sent her a text.

We'll talk about it later, please. And stop looking at me like that they might be suspicious.

She looked at her phone after it beeped answered back.

It's okay and don't think you gonna get away with it.

She looked at me to make sure she got it through my mind.

Sure ma'am.

Then night came and everyone left. I made sure i texted Tat before i slept and she was so shocked to realize that Harry is our cousin too.
