LOGIN“What is it that you don't understand, woman?” The officer asked.“What are these men doing here, and what business do I have with them?” I muttered. With a bit of an unnoticed crack in my voice.“You mean you don't know them? It's okay.”“Anthony,” the officer called. Turning his face towards Anthony. “Do you recognize this lady sitting here?” The police officer asked Anthony.Anthony stayed silent for a few seconds and then nodded his head, indicating that he knows me.“Speak out.” The officer ordered. Without hesitation, Anthony let out…“Yes, I know her,” Anthony spoke like someone at gunpoint.“Who is she, and what business transpired between you and her?” The police officer asked.Anthony took a deep breath. Sighed and nodded his head in regret. My eyes were just scanning the entire room. James's face was buried permanently in the ground. Guilt and regret wrapped his entire life.“She is the junior sister of Sofia, the kidnapped victim. Officer, I was actually swayed into this c
The next day.At the police headquarters. Same place where Miguel was brought for questioning and detention. Concerning his claim of being the biological father of Martha.In the interrogation room.Lizzy's POV.My eyes widened as the officers’ question hit me like a slap. I stumbled back quietly and confidently.At once I raised my eyes towards the officer again in shock!“Tell me what you know about the kidnapping of Sofia, the wife of Mr. Donal. Who happened to be your elder sister.” The officer poured out. His tone is firm but not unkind.My heart beat was striking harder. But I held myself. Why must he interrogate me in the first place? Do I look like a kidnapper? I only seek revenge for the evil done to me by Sofia. I owe no one any explanation. Neither am I a kidnapper. I am not.However, my mind still disturbs me. Has anything gone wrong? I believe Sofia's body must have been eaten by the vulture a long time ago.“Officer, I think I have answered this question before. I don't
She moved reluctantly; when she finally came out, her eyes were directly fixed at the police van that was parked at the center of the compound.From my observation, her mood changed. And her eyes narrowed. After a few seconds, she spoke.“Where is the doctor, sir?” She asked nebulously. Her eyes blinked.I quickly gave the officers a sign that she is One.They approach her at once.When she saw them, she became so shocked and confused.She started to look at me, and then she returned the look back to the officers. For a few seconds she stood silent.“Donal, what is the meaning of this?” She muttered. “What are these policemen doing here? I thought you said I should come and meet with a doctor. Are these men here the doctor you talked about?” She asked nebulously. “Pay attention to hear why they're here.” I poured out “I don't get you, sir.” She muttered. “Lizzy, we are police officers coming from the police headquarters. And here is our ID card and arrest warrant.”“You are under
At the Edifice of Donal.Donal POV.The sun was already planning its retirement to its abode. While the gentle breeze of the evening is gradually making its way into the atmosphere. And the trees are bowing to its strength.I arrived home so tired. Today has been so hectic for me. I had planned to go and meet with one of my company managers today. But all to no avail. Hum. I was sitting at the edge of my bed reminiscing and imagining everything that had happened a few hours ago. I thought by now Lizzy should have been back. What is still keeping her? I asked skeptically. As my eyes scan through the walls of my room.I don't believe she would think of harming Martha. It seems she wanted only Sofia out of her way. Martha may not be an obstruction to her evil plot.But on second thought, what if she decides to harm her? Anything is possible.She might decide to kill her. For attempting to eliminate her own blood sister Sofia, wasting Martha away would mean nothing to such a person. S
Donal POV “Regarding Lizzy, she will come. I will invite you people to come and get her arrested. This is so ridiculous.” I poured out bitterly. “I never knew Lizzy could be this wicked and heartless. I never knew she could turn against her own blood.“Lizzy, my own blood sister, wants me dead.” Sofia poured out. As she began to cough heavily again. I really felt for her. So if not for Philip, my gate man. This is how Sofia, my wife, could have gone without a trace, leaving Martha behind without notice! Hum. God!And I will be here busy feeding, housing, and nurturing a monster that will consume me without my knowledge. This is so despicable I screamed silently. I was so speechless and perplexed.My security guards, both of them, were just burying their faces to the ground in shame. I carried Sofia in my own car and rushed her to the hospital while we were on our way. Sofia kept on asking me about Martha. Anthony and James were thrown into the police van.“I want to see my daughter
At the Edifice of Donal.A police van drove in suddenly.Donal’s POV The gentle breeze was blowing. And all the ornamental flowers were busy prostrating to the ground. In humble response to the force, strength, and direction of the wind.A faint scent of the ornamentals filled the entire environment.Birds were busy singing melodiously. Filling the earth with music. The euphony of the atmosphere was so calm and enjoyable. I came out and stood under a tree that was standing very close to my car lot. Contemplating how my movement is going to look. I need to go and visit one of my managers for an important discussion. I can't keep staying back at home all because we are searching for Sofia. Who may be enjoying herself in one man's house. And here we are wasting our energy and resources searching for her.Since Lizzy accepted to look after Martha, I automatically lost interest in Sofia's case. I think after today, I will ask Anthony and James to retreat. They can't kill themselves all
Staying inside the room without a trace of the whereabouts of Martha seems like hell to me altogether. I'm just restless and frustrated.I couldn't sit at a spot. Lizzy walked in and sat at the edge of the bed. Without saying a word. I was prancing around. Sweat running down my neck. Like someone o
The entire building fell silent. That one could dictate the sound of any ant that walked across. Donal's eyes scanned through the face of his security guard when he arrived. "Anthony,” he called out. “Go at once and search the entire estate and bring Martha to me.” He commanded.“Okay, sir.” Antho
Three months later, at her new residenceSofia's POV This is actually not what I had hoped for. This marriage is taking another cruel dimension altogether. I'm just experiencing the opposite of what Donal said to me.Since my arrival, only once has he taken me around his company meeting with all h
