Warning: Violence, murder

He had to find them.

He needed to find those documents.

Where he would find them, he was not sure of that yet, but he had to get a head start.

He doubted they were placed at the company given the nature of them.

He had once tried to look for them in the house, but that woman Lorraine had ruined his attempt.

He thought about it, he probably had to try again to make sure the documents were not indeed in the house ,so that he could consider his next options.

Lorraine had mentioned that one of the two brats was sick, he did not really care about that matter but it was certainly an opportunity for him given as she had wanted to call over the babysitter as she was asked to teach at the dance academy or whatever.

It was the perfect opportunity.

That night he had been on his best behaviour, he played with the kids and even acted lovely towards his wife. He helped her with the cooking and did the dishes.

He could tell Lorraine was mildly surprised and even concerned to some degree.

He mentally snorted

She should have been grateful that he even went through the hassle of acting decently towards her.

It was for a purpose and one purpose only he needed out of the house for a day.

It was the nest and only way to confirm his suspicions and the location of the damn file.

With only a year to spare he had to start getting things ready, it was obvious that Zhi Ruo and the rest of the clan was growing impatient, he understood, he also wanted to repay after all they did for him….

Him and Lorraine were laying in bed when he brought up the subject

"-Don't call the babysitter tomorrow. I will stay home with Louis" he said startling her

"-Are you sure? I am sure she will be able to make it tomorrow; he also has a temperature I was thinking maybe I should take him with me so I can monitor him. If he gets worse, I can come back early"

No, absolutely no. He was not sure how long it would take him to go through the house ,so he could not afford her coming home early.

"-It's ok" he said attempting an act of comfort as he awkwardly patted her bonnet (lol who does that?)

"-I already informed Caleb I would not be coming in, besides our little man is growing up. I thinks it's time I spend more time with him" he said

Lorraine had seemed to grow emotional at his little statement.

Sungjae had to force himself not to gag aloud at the little looks that she was giving him.

'The fuck? Had he really been acting too differently towards her that she was acting so touched ,all of a sudden?' he thought to himself

It did not matter, what mattered right now it was that he now had the whole house to himself which was perfect.

Even though he had gone through the pain of having to have this woman draped on him all night and repress the urge to shove her off. It was ok, he'd have enough time to search for the information he needed.

With that in mind Sungjae repressed the urge to strangle the body laying close to him away.

The next morning came in a blur.

Sungjae held Louis in his arms as they said their farewell to Lorraine and Sohee.

The little girl giggled excitedly as she made her way out of the porch before turning before waving at Sungjae as she exclaimed

"-Bye bye Daddy, bye bye Louis!"

Sungjae gave her a little smile as she ran towards the car while Louis promptly replied to his sister

"-Bah baie"

Lorraine was standing just beside him cooed at her little ones

"-If his temperature goes up, just call me ok? I left his medications in the kitchen counter, he should be given 500 ml of the syrup, ah he also needs a bath, remember to use the live in conditioner after you wash his hair, and make sure that you carefully untangle his hair, be careful he gets fussy during this part and-

"-It's ok " said Sungjae cutting her off her long ramble "- I know the routine , we will be fine and if anything happens, we'll call you. Right little man?" he added using Louis as his leverage

Louis giggled in response hiding his face on the crook of Sungjae's neck playfully.

That seemed to do the trick.

Lorraine finally relaxed and let out a breath she did not know she was holding.

She had been relieved to say the least, it had been awhile since she had last left any of the kids by themselves with her husband

Sungjae forced himself to pet her head, causing her to break into a wide grin before he took the little one in his arms .

He made sure Lorraine's car was fully out of sight before he placed Louis in the living room.

Sungjae recovered a jar of chocolate chip biscuits and a sippy bottle of juice and placed it in front of the toddler before switching the television to a kids channel the colourful animations swiftly catching the attention of Louis giving Sungjae lire way to leave and start rummaging through the hours.

He had at least a solid 3 hours before the toddler would need back his attention.

Sungjae placed the baby monitor at an angle where he would be able to monitor the little toddler easily and headed for the in-house office.

The first place he checked was the desk. He had not been able to go through half of the compartment on the large desk before, his wife had come out barrelling through the doors.

He methodologically brought out files scanning them with his quick eyes, before putting them back in place.

He had noticed that the placement of some of the objects in the desk such as the family picture and the computer monitor had changed from the last time, probably at hand of Lorraine.

That woman really did not know how to mind her own business he thought to himself swiftly before continuing his search.

In a span of 2 hours Sungjae had gone through the whole office cabinets and bookshelves and the whole of the matrimonial bedroom.

He frowned in deep thought.

"- Where would you place them if you were him?" he mumbled under his breath.

'Could it be that they were still in the hands of his father?' But that could not be.

Hadn't he received them as a gift for his 18th birthday, the land was his and it had been one of the fundamentals of his business.

He thought back to the old conversation with Zhi Ruo.

"-bring back the documents of ownership of the land in Shengyou . That's the deal" She had said with her sharp tone as she stared at him bored"

"-What?" he had asked confused

"- You heard me " he said rolling her eyes, as she chewed on a piece of gum quite loudly

"-How are you sure, it will be in my possession?"

Zhi Ruo gave him a once over like he was stupid

"- That old fart gave the property to you for your eighteenth birthday, you fool."

Sungjae still looked at her confused

Zhi Ruo was close to losing her patience

"-What ? where do you think all that money came from, why do you think you built a company out of nowhere ?" She said looming over his personal space despite the huge height difference

She looked behind him before laughing out aloud, the loud and sudden action leaving his ears ringing.

"-Oh, my bad I forgot, he did it, but you are him right now aren't you?" She asked amused, her body jumping with the intensity of her deep rumbled laughter.

Sungjae jostled, his thoughts suddenly shattered by the sound of Louis' laughter.

He glanced back at the bay monitor to see Sungjae , on top of the sofa facing the window, he seemed to be waving at someone.

Sungjae could not make who that was but it was clearly a woman.

Without thinking twice, he made his way to the living room where Louis was located, he looked at the still bouncing boy and picked him up, looking at the smiley figure who was at the window.

The babysitter

Sungjae deduced, based on the features and the age of her, she had to be the babysitter.

Why was she here, and Why hadn't he noticed her presence before?

Did she even ring the bell?

Just how long had she been standing out there the point of getting the little one's attention. He asked himself.

The young lady seemed to be mouthing something as she pointed in the direction of the door.

Sungjae did not want to open the door, but he still let her in, set in knowing what the reasoning was for her coming.

As soon as he opened the door, he was hit with a wave of bubbliness which he found quite distasteful.

"-Ah Mr Park nice to see you again, it's been ages !" she said coming in.

Sungjae looked across the street to make sure there were no curious eyes before he closed the door.

"-Why are you here?" he asked, uncaring

The young lady stopped her steps, before turning towards him and tilting her head sideways

She gave him a scrutinatory once over before she began talking

"- Ah I am here to collect my jacket, I already told Mrs Park, she said it was fine since you were home. I forgot it the last time I babysat. Well I did not sit on the baby's ,I looked after them " she said attempting a lame joke

Sungjae was starting to get irritated by the woman.

The lay talked too much and without a pause, it was really infuriating, especially with how comfortable she was just being around. It unnerved him

He forced himself to cool down and sighed before replying

"-Fine…get the jacket and go"

The girl frowned but made her way to the jacket stand where a baby pink sparkly jacket stood hanged.

She grabbed it, smiled and turned to greet Louis before making her way out

"-Mr Park? Why is Louis still in his pyjamas? Shouldn't he have had his bath by now? Do you want me to help? I can help" she said making motion to grab the toddler from his grasp

Sungjae stepped aside

"-It's fine" he said "- I will change him later" he said before he made his way to the kitchen placing the toddler on his high chair.

He thought that if he moved away, the girl would take a hint and finally leave, but instead she just followed him into the kitchen, mind you she will still wearing her dirty ass shoes as she walked around the house, one thing which actually irritated him them most

"- Has he eaten ?" she asked curiously "- I can make something, for him I mean. If he hasn't eaten, that is."

"-Oh, Mrs park mentioned he had a fever , Louis really likes eating ice lollies when he gets a fever its sugary and it cools him down " she said, going on a whole rambled about Louis's favourite foods

Sungjae took a deep breath through his nose, withstanding the urge to squint at her accusatory.

"-I think you should go" he said

In a low tone

The girl looked at him again

"- Mr Park did you catch a cold; your voice is actually deeper than usual. Or perhaps did you have an accident? Oh my God!" she exclaimed coming closer

"-It's that why you have those markings on your neck?" she asked coming closer

Sungjae's eyes went wide with surprise and mild panic as he placed a finger at the area the girl was talking about. She was not supposed to see that, those scars were barely visible, even Lorraine had not noticed them. How the hell did she notice?

His eyes turned dark as he asked her "-Who are you?"

Mandy tilted her head to the side confused "-Eh? I'm Mandy the babysitter"

He was not convinced

Sungjae grabbed by the arm quickly pulling outside the kitchen out of the view of the toddler

The girl huffed "-Ouch! Mr Park ! What the hell?"

He pulled her to the nearest bathroom , harshly yanking her as he brought her face closer to him

"-Who. Are. You?" he asked

The girl was still in shock, she gazed at him staring into his eyes until she realized...

Those were not the friendly and paternal-like eyes she knew.

She gasped aloud, her mouth going open

"-You are not-

With one swift movement Sungjae snapped her neck, causing the girls to slump, over lifeless. He released her causing her body , now a mass of dead weight to fall on the ground.

Sungjae left her dead before making his way towards the kitchen.

He grabbed the bottle of medicine that Lorraine had mentioned and fed the content to the baby.

He bathed him, changed him and fed him before putting him to sleep in the baby room.

As the little boy drifted to sleep.

He quietly whispered

"-Shsh I'll be right back daddy's is got to get rid of the trash"

Like nothing had happened he placed the baby monitor so he could see the little toddler sleeping, before he made his way back to the bathroom.

He looked at the dead body once, before unceremoniously grabbing by the hair

"-Let's take out the trash ,shall we?"
