Must Read: Love and Revenge - Season 1 - Episode 28

Tommy Anderson bit his lower lip then shot Abraham a knowing look ‘you remember Lex? Ade’s first son?’
Abraham in turn shot him a confused look ‘which Ade?’
Tommy Anderson eyed him ‘dont you know Ade again? Ade Johnson, that colleague we…..’ he paused and looked around ‘killed and burnt his house while his family was sleeping’
‘oh! I dont wanna talk about that. I regret that decision we made Tom, we shouldnt have killed him, he was our best friend and he would have covered up for us if we had asked him to, but we just decided to kill him’
‘it was all Sampson’s idea’
‘and we partook in it. We killed a brother from another mother. And we murdered a family that was like our second family’
‘we cant go back on our sins right? Forget about that, you remember his first son?’
‘why wont i? That cute angelic little boy, if there was anything i regretted, it was killing that boy. I should have taken him in. That boy was so intelligent, nice, obedient, respectful, humble and he had a bright future which shouldnt have been terminated just like that. I look at Peter everyday and i remember him, Pokili!’ Abraham said with a little smile, Pokili was the nickname he called Lex when he was little.

Tommy scoffed ‘i saw someone that looked exactly like him when i visited Ciara in the hospital two days before she was discharged’
Abraham drew back ‘that certainly cant be true, that guy is dead. We burnt him alive when he was a little boy dont you remember?’
‘i know we did. But do you remember that when we burnt the house, one body was missing?’
Abraham closed his eyes in remembrance ‘thats true. But we couldnt say for sure who was that. But it was a child. Common now, it could have been his lazy sister and i’m sure the body burnt to ashes, that was why we couldnt see it’
‘we could have gotten a clue, maybe a hand or a leg……’
‘common Tommy, that was twenty years ago. And there’s no way Lex is alive. He possibly couldnt have escaped the fire and we were sure every member of the house was in the house that night. If you think he survived, how then did he survive?’
Tommy Anderson sighed ‘well thats true. I see no way the guy could have survived. The fire was strong’
‘yep. So you said the strange guy you saw looked so much like Lex right? How did you know? You still remembered his face?’
‘i remembered Ade’s face on seeing him, the guy looked so much like Ade and you know Lex was the only son of his that bore him resemblance so much it looked as if he vomited Lex’
‘yeah’ Abraham said resignedly ‘i just hope its not karma fighting us. We did alot of bad things Tom especially you’
‘whats that supposed to mean?’
‘nothing’
‘i hope so’

Sandra wept as she got into her apartment which was due to expire in a week’s time.
She had been shamefully chased from Lex’s house.
