Christian was about to leave home for the office when his men escorted a young man dressed in a police uniform into the house. "Good morning sir," the man greeted as Christain blinked his eyes slowly before replying. "I hope that by now you have got some good news to tell me because all the money I gave you would only go to waste if you have no positive report for me!" Christain said as the man stared at the floor before glaring at Christain again. "It's very hard to talk to the lieutenant but it's exceptionally good that he has a colleague like you that I find easy to deal with!" Christian said, patting the young man's shoulder. "I have some positive news for you because I already have a good lead on where the Rapist of Miriam is." The man uttered. "Tell me what you have found out!" Christian said. Meanwhile, Carlos and Miriam were at home watching some movie as they clutched into each other tightly but Eleanor briskly ran towards them in panic. "Uhmm__ I'm sorry to bother you
It was late evening when Miriam and Carlos got back home to a noiseless house, they both seemed tired and ready to head to their room but Eleanor's voice halted their steps. "Hey, Miriam and Carlos, where have you guys been?" Eleanor asked them both but Miriam was quick to speak up. "Babe, why don't you go ahead and have a shower while I talk to my sister?" Miriam said, giving Carlos a soft kiss on the lips before he left. "We actually came from the police station and they might have a suspect in my case," Miriam told Eleanor whose eyes seemed to be in shock. "What? I thought you said you were going to stop the case. Do you now want to pursue it?" Eleanor asked. "Believe me when I say I want to stop the case but at the same time am curious to know why that person chose to hurt and ruin my life!" Miriam said to her sister who nodded in understanding. "So, who is the suspect?" Eleanor asked. "They say his name is Fred Jackson but something odd happened. I just couldn't recognize h
The transparent door of the police station was plunged open as Carlos sauntered inside with his heart pounding beneath his chest. He had hoped and prayed that his wife hadn't hurt anyone and at the same time he wanted to assure himself that she wasn't hurt at all. Carlos swiped a finger under his eyes as he stared around to locate where his wife was. The minutes he caught a glimpse of her. He hurriedly trudged towards her before engulfing her into a very comforting hug but she pulled away before pointing at the suspect, "Carlos, that's the man who took advantage of me. That's the bastard who did it!" Miriam told him but Carlos' reaction wasn't what she had expected. "Excuse me, can we find a suitable way to resolve this issue because I apologize for what my wife had done!" He apologized and that had shocked the living daylight of everyone. "What are you doing Carlos?" Miriam asked in shock."Doris, please take her to the car and wait for me there!" Carlos said, handing his keys ov
"Oh, didn't anyone tell you, uhm___!" Doris tried to say but Eleanor briskly interrupted her. "This is exactly what happened, Doris' accompanied her niece to have some research about rape victims and to know about their experience with rapists, what we were talking about wasn't honestly that important!" Eleanor said as Doris nodded in agreement. "Okay, I would leave you two alone then," Gina said skeptically before trudging away. "What is the matter with you, Doris? Can you at least try shutting those mouths of yours for once," Eleanor told her in between gritted teeth? "Wait, doesn't Miriam's mother-in-law know what happened to her?" Doris asked glaring at Eleanor. "I sincerely don't know if she knows about it, I don't know if Carlos had told her anything and I'm afraid that if she finds out this way without her son telling her first, things might go the wrong way because I honestly don't know his mother's real character," Eleanor said, rubbing her neck. "That woman is differe
Carlos had caught a glimpse of Henry running out of the house in tears. He went after him only to notice him hidden at the back of the purple blooming flowers use to beautify the house. He sighed before crouching next to the boy. "You know what Henry?" Carlos said placing a hand on the boy's shoulders."Your mum wasn't really mad at you, you just have to be patient with her because she is just feeling bad about something and I can't explain any of that to you because it's something you won't understand but please don't get mad at her!" Carlos said pleadingly as Henry glared into his eyes. "What's happening to her? You can tell me about it since I'm all grown up. I know that I would understand anything you tell me!" Henry said and that only made Carlos sigh heavily. "Okay, there was someone who hurt your mother so badly and what he did was such a terrible thing. Your mother still feels the pain and that's why she gets upset very often, but don't you worry because your mother isn't a
"Wait, What is this? What do you mean that you are the reason why Miriam is suffering? Aren't you the one who actually saved her?" Jeffery asked. "Noooo___you know what? You just don't get it at all. I'm the guy that Miriam hates so much!" Carlos said, taking another sip that burnt his throat nicely. "Common man, don't say that!" Jeffery said. "I have to because I'm the bastard who raped her!" Carlos spilled out and that had shocked Jeffrey more than anything he had heard in his life. "Are you even telling me the truth? Buuuu but____why?" Jeffery stuttered before running a hand into his hair frustratedly."I know that I made a very big mistake and I don't know if she would ever forgive me if she finds out the truth that the one who married and loved her Is the one who ruined her life!" Carlos told his friend who used both of his hands to rub his face. He stood there for a minute with a confused look before wiggling his head. "Hey, I know you man, that's impossible because you are
Jeffrey crouched one of his knees on the floor before holding Carlos in the arm to get him up from the floor. "Man, that's enough for the night, you are so damn drunk!" Jeffery tried to help him up but it proved abortive. "Jeffery___ Jeffrey, it's okay. You can leave me now because I'm a bad person. Just leeeeaaaave___," Carlos yelled at the top of his voice but that didn't push or move Jeffery one bit. "Carlos, you are not a bad person. You are not the one to blame at all, I know that you are not a rapist. I'm your beta and your best friend, I know you so well like the back of my fingers. That Jeffery guy just happened to set you up for sure! They are the bad guys and they are the ones to feel guilty and not you," Jeffery reassured Carlos calmly. "But I was the one left in that room that night and not them, I'm the rapist who did it to her!" Carlos said to his friend. "Buddy, you wouldn't have ended up doing such a thing if those pricks didn't plan it. They had Miriam kidnapped a
Carlos sighed heavily before speaking. "Yes, I would tell Miriam the whole truth!" He plainly said as his gaze was strictly fixed on his hands. "Uh___ uhmm_ my friend, I know that what I am about to tell you isn't right but listen to me. Don't tell Miriam, don't tell Miriam that you are actually the one who had taken advantage of her." Jeffrey told Carlos to his face. "Why, she's suffering so much," Carlos said blandly. "But she would only suffer the more if she finds out, you would only end up giving her more burden if she can't take it. When she finds out the whole truth about you, you would ruin Miriam and that would be too much for her to handle." Jeffrey had advised him. ______On the other hand, Miriam couldn't go back to sleep. She felt completely bad for how she had treated Carlos a while ago. She had trudged downstairs to maybe speak to him and sort out their differences. "I shouldn't have done that! I shouldn't have pushed Carlos away," she uttered after searching the w
