ADRIANNA

THREE DAYS LATER

I 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

    THREE YEARS LATERI placed a white chrysanthemum on her grave. It’s been three years and I still miss her so much.“Not much has changed since your death, you know Tessy” I murmured, as I plucked out the weeds around her grave.I blew out the few dust I could. “I’m sorry i haven’t come by in a while” i chuckled “it’s been stressful taking care of Liam, who has a wild energy for his age”A hand grazed my shoulders and I looked up, smiling as Ethan gave me a gentle rub. “Ethan’s here too. We’ve all come here to spend time with you”I looked to my right and stretched my hands. “Liam? Come over here, come say hi to your Aunty” i called Liam to come over. He rushed to me, and jumped into my arms. His brows furrowed after I pointed at Theresa’s grave. “Mama? Where is she? I can’t see her, I can only see a huge stone” he said, and I couldn't help the chuckle that escaped my lips.“Oh boy!” I exclaimed as I looked at Ethan for help.Ethan understood immediately and crouched down to talk to

    ADRIANNATHREE WEEKS LATER.I stood still in front of the giant door. A bouquet of flowers in my hands. My favourite, Marigold.It was my day. My special day. The day I finally get to call Ethan Greene, my husband.It was a day I had been patiently waiting for for three weeks, or months even. But I didn't have to wait anymore. It was finally here.I tugged on my white wedding gown, that laid beautifully on my body. It was a armless white wedding gown that showed off my glowy shoulders. I stared down at my neck that was embodied with a gold necklace that Ethan had gotten for me five days ago. It was beautiful.I looked at my hands, it had gold bracelets that went so well with my skin tone.My big belly protruded in the dress, but that didn’t matter one bit. It was my big day, a day special to me.Mrs. Thompson, my manager, walked over to me.“You ready?” She whispered as she took my hand under her elbow.She was the one to walk me down the aisle. Oh, how I wished it was her. How I wis

    ADRIANNAONE WEEK LATERI let my hair slide down my shoulders, gently combing through, taking my precious time.Today, I had to look good. Because it was an important day to me. The day I could see Jasmine and Raymond being thrown in jail. I put on a smile, nothing was going to spoil my mood. Just the thought of seeing Jasmine and Raymond in jail, brought a tremendous smile to my face. I combed through my hair a few more times and when I was done, I placed the comb on the table, and lightly pressed on my hair.I stood up from the stool and walked to the mirror. I turned left and I turned right, staring and admiring myself.“Today you have to look beautiful. Because today? You watch your enemies being put behind bars for all they have done” I muttered to myself, and smiled.I walked over to my wardrobe, pulling it open. They were a lot of beautiful clothes, but I wanted something extraordinary. I skimmed through, my eyes roaming from clothes to clothes till I eventually found one. It

    ADRIANNAThose words made me feel like my legs were in the sky, dangling in the clouds. Right now all I could see in front of me was a ticket to an already solved case.I pulled her in and hugged her tightly, my cheeks blaring red with excitement. “Thank you Anna, thank you so so much” I muttered.“You don’t know how happy I am right now. I’m so sorry I doubted you” I apologized, releasing her from the hug.“Listen” I took her hands in mine. “I would make sure your family is safe” I said to her, smiling with assurance.She finally let out a smile and her chest seemed to fall in relief.I bid her farewell immediately, and promised to get to the root of this faster, so as to process her release immediately. I got to the car, and waited for Darka to come open the door for me. Immediately he did, I hopped in, and waited till he turned to the driver’s seat.“Guess what?” I said excitedly.Darka looked at me, and smiled. “What?” He asked and I scoffed.“I’m pretty sure I said ‘guess’” I rol

    ADRIANNAShe stared at me, fear creeping through her eye sockets. She stood up and rushed to kneel before me. Tears began to stream down her eyes, like she had been desperately practicing for this moment, where she would be at my feet to beg for mercy.I scoffed and adjusted my seat backwards. “Save your tears Anna, I have no need to listen to your apologies” I said.“Like I said, I'm here to ask about something,” I added.“Jasmine in particular” her eyes widened.I stood up from the chair and placed my phone on the table, beside my purse.I began to slowly pace around the room, taking a look at Anna as she knelt down on the floor. AllI could think about was if and how I was going to make her speak up. This was my only chance. My only way to set things right.I sucked in a deep breath and proceeded.“Anna,” I began, staring right at her.“I need you to tell me everything Jasmine has been up to. Anything you know at all.”She immediately shook her head and tried to speak but her voic

    ADRIANNA “Jasmine got to him before us” the words rolled out of both our mouths as our eyes widened in realization. Damn it! “So that was the reason she came to see him” I blurted as I stared out the window. Two police officers greeted me as they walked by, and I slightly nodded, then smiled. “Well i’m not surprised” Ethan said, making me turn my head. “Seatbelt” he pointed to me, and I quickly buckled up. He continued, this time his hands firm on the steering wheel. “I’m pretty sure she would do anything to cover her tracks and hide all evidence. Right now we just need to figure out a way to get evidence or at least make her or Raymond speak up” I nodded almost immediately, totally agreeing to what he said. He started the ride, and drove out of the station seconds after. My phone dinged, and I took it off my lap. It was a message from Darka. Back home, the information I asked Roland to check was already waiting for us. I couldn’t even wait to get home, I just hoped there w
