~Yemisi~
I sat in my room of the guest wing at dad's place. I just bought a hard cover book to keep notes of all I knew about this case I working. I felt like a detective.

What I know about Alessia's murderer:

This dealmaker killed Alessia

They had an agreement to help her pass her test and exams in exchange of a payment

It is a man.

Pamela knows this man and that is the reason she died

This man also knows me and that is why he threatened me the day Pamela died

What I don't know:

I don't know the man himself and no none is coming to mind

The reason Alessia had a deal with him

And what the payment for the agreement is.

I don't also know whether Adediwura knows about it

I sighed as I had no leads. So much for being Sherlock Holmes. No scratch that more like Enola Holmes.

I picked up my phone and called Ireti.
여보세요?(Hello)

나요, 잘 지내가요?(It's me, how are you?)

어머, 한국에 실력이 늘엇서요 (Oh my, your Korean has gotten better)

진자!, 고마워(Really! Thanks)

"So, why did you call?" she asked

"Why did we switch languages?" I asked back

"Should we switch back?" she threatened

"아니요(No)" I replied. I knew she was better than me.

"Kayode told me you guys planned on snooping in Alessia's room to find clues, what did you find?" She asked

"Her diary" I answered

"What did you find in it?" she queried

"I'll send a picture of the notes I made" I answered

"I've seen the notes" she said
"I have no one in mind as well"
"Is this all you could get?" she asked

"Nope, I've only read the entries during her last week on earth" I told her

"Haha, not funny" she remarked

"Am I laughing?" I asked sarcastically

"Please read other entries, she couldn't have made the deal during her last week on earth?" she whined

"True, I'll call when I'm done" I told her

I skimmed through the pages of her diary looking for anything that has to do with the dealmaker. I saw an entry that caught my eye.

Dear Diary,
Wednesday 1
Words can't express the level of the dilemma I'm in right now. I don't even know how I want to relate today's events and where to start from.

Mum's been on my case about my grades lately. It's like I'm in a constant battleground. She keeps comparing me to Ola, her friend's son. It's frustrating. I mean, I'm trying my best, but it's like nothing is ever good enough.

And then there's Mr ________ . He approached me after class today. Said he could help me boost my grades, but I'll have to do something for him in return. I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm so confused and overwhelmed. I don't know who to trust anymore.

I closed the diary, feeling a mix of emotions. This entry provided a new angle to explore. Why did she cancel his name?Could he be the dealmaker? Or is it something else entirely? I needed to talk to Ireti again.

I picked up my phone and dialed her number...
