The undercover journalist

"Don't worry about the rules, I will sign any paper you want me to and I will follow any rules that are put in place"

He looked at me, a flicker of surprise crossing his face. He was clearly not expecting such declaration

"Do you know after signing it, there is no turn back again"

I nodded my head and he gave me the paper, without thinking twice, I signed it and handed it to him.

"I have signed it, now I need to go home to take some of my clothes"

"You do not need to go home, everything you need to live except from your breath is provided in my house, just wait for me here, let me complete what I am doing, then we go home. You are going nowhere, you are mine now" the words chilled down my spine, but never will I regret making the decision.

"What?" I said silently, but regardless I am not going to say No. What I am here to do is more important, signing a six month contract with him is what I have been longing for, now that I have gotten it, I need to handle it with care.

Thirty minutes later, he was done with what he was doing, then we went to his house.

I knew that one of the rules of the contract is that you are always with him throughout the period of the contract.

I went to his house, and it was exactly what people have been saying, the house was marble and gold, there were works of art on every wall, it looked like a museum but luxurious. How can a guy in his twenties accomplish this without connections or any inherited wealth, there must be something behind this and that is what I am here to find out.

I have an account on major social media platforms, with the name Anonymous Investigator. I post accurate information by verifying them before I post.

Nobody knew I was the one behind it except from my friend, Isabella who is also a journalist.

When I informed Isabella that I would be coming here to find out the truth about Alexander, she said she had been waiting for me to announce that because she trusts me to do that. This is no longer a job, but a passion.

My heart beat faster while observing the surroundings. I have been in some pretty impressive houses but nothing had prepared me for this. I smiled because my mission is about to be accomplished and my goal is within my reach.

"What is your name again?" I was drawn back to reality when I heard that.

"Huh! I am Rachel Wilson"

"Alright, Karina, Karina" He called out to one of the maids.

She came out, and bowed her head.

"This is our new Miss, her name is Rachel"

Well, with my research I knew he never had a girlfriend, what he just did was to sign a contract with them for a period of time.

"Rachel, this is Karina, anytime you need anything, just let her know"

"Alright, thank you, Karina, nice to meet you"

"Thank you ma'am, follow me, I will show you your room" She uttered, and I followed her.

"This is your room, anytime you need anything, let me know, I will be coming to check you up"

"Alright" I smiled, and she left.

"Mission is about to be accomplished" I screamed joyfully.

****

It was getting late already, Karina called me to go and eat at the dining room.

I went to the Dining and saw Alexander opening the food.

He ate three spoons and went to the dining room.

"Maybe he is not hungry" I said silently.

I wonder why they had cooked so much food just for the two of us, this is giving me reason to keep suspecting him. Why would he allow them to cook this much if he would only eat three spoons?

"Why is he not eating?" I was forced to ask from the maids.

"He do not eat much, today he ate three spoon and sometimes he won't even eat it"

I nodded my head.

I ate a lot of food I could consume, because I can't even stand wasting all of that food.

I went to my room thinking of ways I could access him more, though, I am living in his house, but he doesn't seem to want to have anything to do with me.

I was still thinking when I heard a knock on my door, "Open" I said.

It was Karina.

"How are you doing?" I asked

"Fine, master said he needs you in his room, do you mind showing you his room"

"Yes" I said sharply and we both went to his room, when I was about to enter, she left.

I froze at the door because I was drawn by his look. He is tall with a broad shoulder and a slim waist.

When I entered, he was putting on a white singlet and a pink boxer. I can't help but admire him, I was unable to take my eyes away from him

I stared at him for about two minutes before I was drawn to reality.

"Karina said you need me" I tried sounding confidently.

"Yes, come closer"

He was sitting at the bed, I knew he was up to something, still I went closer.

I was putting on a short shirt and he used one of his hands to unbutton them, he brought one of my boobs out from the shirt and sucked.

I wanted to stop him, this isn't what I am here for, I have a boyfriend, but I didn't stop him because I have to go miles to find out the truth.

"Ouch ouch" I faked my moarn

Two minutes later, I said "Why don't we drink, so we can get high then do whatever we want"

He thought about it, and replied "No problem, go and get a drink at the living room"

I rushed out to the living room and took an alcoholic drink.

While heading to his office earlier today, I had a sleeping tablet kept in my pocket.

So I grinded it and mixed it with the drink, and I took the drink to his room.

Without thinking twice, he drank it.

"Tonight, I will deal with you" He said and laughed broadly.

"I am ready for you too" I smiled.

I watched him sleep, and I began to check his drawer if there was anything I could find as evidence against his rapid wealth. Just then he stirred and opened his eyes.

"What are you doing there?"

My heart skipped a beat as I fumbled for a reply, unsure of what to say.

I knew he wasn't going to allow me to stay any longer, I should have been smarter enough to have made sure I did this when he wasn't around, but how do I get his key? He was staring at me with a look of suspicion.

My heart raced as I tried to come up with an excuse, this the best thing I could do, and what do I even say.

"Do you not hear me? Why are you checking my drawer?" He shouted.

"I...I... I am looking for money, I need money to pay my sister's hospital bills, I am sorry" I lied.

"Really? Are you not Rachel Wilson? Do you think I will allow you to stay here without knowing one or two things about you? What are you doing here?"

"You know me? If you know me you will know I have a sister, a younger sister, she is the reason I signed the contract, I thought after the contract I would be given an huge amount"

"Alright, you can go now, come back tomorrow, and I will give you the money you need for your sister's hospital bills"

I nodded and left for my room.

"Is this guy smarter than I am? He saw me checking his drawer and he allowed me to leave? Is he playing me or was that his thought?" The thought filled my heart, and I was totally confused.

"Is the sleeping drug fake? Because I don't understand he was meant to sleep for eight hours and above"

I was so dissapointed , that I hardly slept. I closed my eyes but found it hard to sleep, my heart was pounding fast, because I was unsure of what he had in mind to do. Maybe tomorrow he is planning to send me out of his house, I don't know, I was very worried.

While in deep thought, I slept off.

****

The next morning, Karina entered my room to wake me.

"Good Morning" Karina greeted.

I stretched up my body and replied her, "Good Morning"

"I am sorry for waking you up, your food is ready"

"Thank you, but please as Alexander went to the office?"

"No, not yet, but he will be out soon, he usually goes to office at 8:00am"

"Can I just come to eat dinner after he had left? I do not want to see him please, can you help me with that?" I said, my body still shaking, it was obvious that I wasn't fine, what happened yesterday was still on my mind and I do not know what exactly he might be thinking of.

I took my phone and called Isabella.

"Hello Isabella, how are you doing?" I said as she picked.

"I am fine, how was your night? Hope no problem" She asked. I am sure she can felt that there was an issue somewhere.

"I am not fine Isabella, I guess he knows what I am up to"

"What do you mean by he knows what you are up to? Do you allow him know what exactly happened?"

"Luckily for me, I had access to Alexander room, I gave him a drink and mix it with a drug to make him sleep for hours, he slept and I decided to check his room if there's anything I can see to hold against him but he woke up immediately"

"What? Does he catch you checking? What did you say then?"

"I told him I wanted to steal, that I was searching for money in other to pay for my sister's bill"

"Did he believe you?"

"That is what I am not sure of, wait please, I just received a mail on my phone, let me go through it"

"Okay, read it out"

"Hello Miss Rachel, I know what you have been looking for, I am aware of the reason you are at his house, I also have the same mission with you, I hope we can work together, reply my message if you care to know me"

"What? Who sent you this? Who sent that mail? So we are not the only people willing to go miles to know the secret behind this man's wealth? I mean everyone wants to know that but I don't know they are ready to go miles too"

"Do you think someone else know about it? Only you knew about this, then who would have sent this mail? Don't let us be deceived, this guy sent this, Alexander is behind this, he wants to know if I am after him or I just came here to sign the contract for signing sake, we need to be very careful Isabella, I hope this will not let us end in jail"

"Do you think that rich men have the time to do that? Did he know your mail? Is own is to make them sign contract, flirt with ladies and travel, I just think we are not the only one willing to do anything to know his secret, be rest assured, message the man and be very smart while dealing with him, don't state the reason you are staying with Alexander now, just tell him that you care to know him, and what is the mail?"

"Anonymouspolice@gmail.com"

"Anonymous Police and Anonymous Journalist, this guy will end in jail, isn't that obvious?"

"He will, but I am beginning to get scared"

"The Rachel I know is courageous, strong and brave"

"Thank..." She was still talking when someone distracted her "I will call you back Isabella" She hung up.

"Huh?"

Just then, Alexander went to her room putting on his black suit, black shoe, black tie, he was looking so sexy that I couldn't stop staring at him.

"Huh, are you fine?" He said after noticing I was starting at him

"You are handsome" I didn't even know when I said that because I couldn't deny it.

I moved closer to him, and I couldn't get enough of him.

I held his cheek and kissed him passionately.

Some minutes after the weird moment, I regained myself and I was looking so sad, what did I just do? Is that why I came here.

He smiled and dropped note of money on my bed.

"The money for your sister's hospital bill, my regards to her and I wish her quick recovery"

"Thank you, I really appreciate and I am sorry"

He smiled and left to work.

"Rachel, what did you just do? What did I just do? Did I just kiss him? Why couldn't I even I control myself that moment? But honestly, he is so handsome, he looks like someone I am going to marry in the future that is if everything he is doing is legal" I said.

I sat down and took the money on the bed.

"Ssh.. like I need it"

My phone rang again, it was Isabella.

"Hello, have you sent the message to him, what was his reply" She said immediately I picked the call.

"I haven't, Alexander just came in with the money"

"Yes, didn't I told you he doesn't know anything about it, but to be on a safer side, whenever you want to meet him, let me know, anytime he wants to meet you and wherever he wants to meet you, let me know, I will go instead of you, I just thought about it, we need to be smarter than the person"

"Hmmm, that is so thoughtful of you, so I'll reply now" I hang up.

I went to the diner to eat when I was sure that he had left for work, I opened the food and as expected, the food they knew we couldn't finish was prepared.

I tasted it and it was so delicious but I never concentrated on it.

I was eating and pressing my phone, well I just want to reply to the anonymous police, maybe we could work together to achieve this.

I replied, texting "Alright no problem, you

know my mission and I am sure I don't need to explain what it is, so when are we meeting?"

I replied while eating and before I could check again, he already replied. "Alright, let's meet at Elizabeth hotel at exactly 2pm"

Immediately I saw it, I put a call across to my friend to inform her and she assured me that she will go there instead of me.

It's already 1pm, and I was tensed already, I was patiently waiting for 2:00pm so I can know the person who is behind all these, but my mind keep telling me Alexander is the one behind it.

This time, to me the time was so slow, my eyes kept on watching the clock as it was tickling, it felt like 2pm was taking too long, I was so worried and so devastated.

Some minutes later, it was 2pm and I called my friend. To my surprise, she told me she was at the hotel already and she's still waiting for the anonymous police.

"Do not expect the person to put on a police cloth" I said in a silent tone while talking to her on the phone.

"I am not daft and I won't expect the person to put on a police cloth, I am just watching around if I saw someone who I knew"

"What color and type of cloth are you putting on so I could tell the anonymous police"

"I am putting on a yellow gown with a white cap, tell him that so he could come and meet me, or do you think we are not calm enough, the person might be on his or her way"

"Let me text the person"

"Let us wait for like ten minutes before you text the person..... wait ..... someone is walking towards me, I don't know the person, ooohh, he's here"

"Do not hang up, let me hear the conversation"

"No problem, this is not who you think, this is not Alexander, I don't even know this person"

"Then if it's not the person I thought, let me start coming, or what do you think?"

"You can start coming"

"I will start coming and make sure you do not hang up the call"

"Alright.... Hello, I am the journalist" She sàid as the person walked down to her.

"How are you, I was the one that sent mail to you, what would you like them to give you?"

"No, I think we should just go straight to the conversation, I have a lot of things to find out, I am busy"

"I know you went to Mr. Alexander house for a purpose, and I would like you to share it with me, but as for me, I have been making research about him since, but I haven't found anything to hold against him, he is very smart"

"He is so smart, we have done everything to know the reason behind his wealthiness, but we haven't, you asked if we can work together to accomplish this mission, and I am in support of it, let's do it, as you can see this is not just a job to me, this is my passion, what I love doing, let's make more researches"

As they were still discussing, I appeared there, I sat down and we all continued discussing.

"How are we sure you won't sly us while doing this, Isabella do you think we can trust him, see anonymous police, my friend and I are not doing this for money, it's just something we have interest in and passion for"

"Just like you have passion to do that, that is same why I am doing it without collecting a dime, but I guess you two are serious about it, for you to have signed a contract with him, to start living in his house, you really want to know everything"

"But how do you know she signed a contract?" Isabella was confused.

"How do you know I did that? Who is your source?"

Isabella and I was confused and as we try cracking our brain, we saw Alexander came in
