ADRIANNA I slumped down on my bed, facing the ceiling, lost in thoughts. Now that Anna had been arrested, it now dawned on me that this was real. The person I had given my trust to had betrayed me without even thinking twice. I just couldn’t wrap my head around it. Anna? The vivid memory of her giving something to Jasmine in the photo haunted me. Anna had been working for Jasmine all this time?‘But why?’ Was the question I had no answer to.I sat up and sighed. I turned to the left, where the envelope sat. I brought it closer and opened it up, bringing out the file in it. I read through the will, still shocked that Theresa had willed her house and belongings to me. My hand grazed the content, where her name was written.I sure did miss her. If she was still here, I'm sure she would have been jumping in excitement at the mention of Liam.“I miss you Theresa, so much…” I said softly, a light smile evident on my face.“I wish you were here to see” I lightly grazed the will, and sniff

ADRIANNA I clung to the hem of my dress with my right hand as I stared down at the pictures I had dropped on the table. It felt like a dream. It didn’t feel real. I looked around, staring at Roland, Darka and Ethan. They all had a look on their faces that read that they were as shocked as I was too.‘Where did it all go wrong?’ I questioned silently, staring hard at the pictures.How could she? No matter how hard I tried to wrap my head around it, I just couldn’t understand why!Why would she do this? Why would Anna do this? I had never done anything wrong to her, none that I knew of. I had always treated her like my sister, like someone I could tell things to.I cleaned off the sweat that trickled down my chin with the back of my palm and picked up the pictures. I began to walk towards the door, ignoring the calls Ethan made. I only had one thought in mind, and that was to confront Anna. I needed to figure out what all these were all about.I walked out of the study room, and down t

ADRIANNA “Roland and Darka are with the files,” Ethan said.“Darka said they found out who the snitch is,” he added, and my whole body became stiff.So this was really true? We really did have a snitch in our home?“Well who is it?” I asked, my tone laced with worry.“He didn’t say” he shook his head and shrugged.“I guess we’ll have to find out when we get home,” he continued.I stood up almost immediately. “Well we have to be on our way then” He stood up too. I rearranged the papers back into the envelope, and picked up my phone. We walked out of the room, and Ethan shut the door behind us.Just before we left the house, I grabbed my purse that was on the dining table.Ethan opened the car door for me, and I hopped in, anxiousness creeping through my bones. My hands were sweaty.He turned to the driver’s side and hopped in, started the engine and drove out and away from her house. I stared out the window, my mind reeling with different thoughts.Just who could it be? Who would sn

ADRIANNA I stood in front of her door, hesitant to go in. Ethan gently rubbed my shoulders and I nodded. I grabbed the doorknob and slowly twisted it open. I took a step in, darkness enveloping me.Everywhere was dark, lights off, curtains drawn. This made my heart twist in pain.My hand hit the wall, where the switch laid and I flipped it on, light illuminating everywhere. I walked towards the dining area, while Ethan stayed in the living room.Everything was as it was the last time I came. The table was cleared clean, and the chairs were pushed closer to the table. I dropped my purse on the table gently and walked into the kitchen. Here, it was the opposite. Utensils and ingredients she had used for baking the cake were placed on the counter. Flour was spilled on the flour, and the baking pan she used to bake was still in the sink.It showed how much effort she put into baking the cake, and she didn’t even get to eat it. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath trying to stop

ADRIANNA THREE DAYS LATERI woke up the same way, same routine, but knowing that this time there was something different. There was something missing, no, someone.A dear friend.I stared at myself in the mirror, lost. My hair was messy and a little matted. I hadn’t even cared to wash it since days ago. I stepped into the shower, and had a quick bath. Washing my hair, and using a detangling brush to brush out the tangled bits. I walked out immediately i was done, and dried myself off with a towel that laid on the stand.Today, Ethan and I have to go to the morgue to fill in some paperwork. We couldn’t do that three days ago like the doctor asked, because the police asked for permission to check out Theresa’s corpse.Walking over to my wardrobe, I just grabbed a flare green gown that looked very comfy. Luckily, it was Theresa’s favorite color. I smiled at that. I quickly wore the dress, and packed my hair in a bun, which had already dried. I picked up my purse and phone that was on

ADRIANNA Shocked was an understatement to how I felt. I was surprised, perplexed even. I turned back to look at Ethan, to be sure he also heard. He had a confused expression on his face too. I turned back to look at Raymond. My mouth was slightly opened, I couldn't even make out words.Maids? What was he talking about? Did he mean we had a snitch in our house? I stared at him, and asked the question that troubled me “what are you talking about? What maid? What do you mean?”Raymond shook his head, and waved his hands “I don't know her name. I only met her once. Other times, it was Jasmine that met up with her”My eyes widened in shock. Ethan came up to me, and held my shoulders. “We have to leave Adrianna, i just got a call from home, there are policemen there that needs our statement for yesterday” I turned to look at him, my eyes still wide open “are you even listening to what he said? We have a snitch in our home, and you are telling me about a stupid statement?” I almost screa
