After struggling to get transport that late night Julia eventually got home. She hurriedly switched on the lights before taking out her purse from the stolen bag. She had hastily ran over the car and retrieved her purse before the police got there and was glad all her belongings were inside and safe. Switching on her phone she gazed around for a sign of Joshua but found non then sighed in relief as she was in no mood to explain herself to anyone. She scrolled through the phone and was surprised to find not a single message or missed call from Joshua. Strange. She then ran up the stairs straight to her spare room where she stacked the stolen bag underneath the bed then threw her tired self onto the bed glad to finally be home and safe.               ******* With shaky fingers, Helen answered the call just as she locked the door"What is it?" she snapped feeling irrit

There was a brief silence after the shoot, with both genders look intensely into each other's eyes. A tear escaped Helen's eyes, just as a painful groan escaped Timothy's lips. They both simultaneously leg go of the gun, as Timothy's left hand found its way to his stomach. Blood gushed out and all Helen could do was stare looking heavily dumbfounded. Tim let out a painful cough as blood gushed out of his lips yet he still failed to say anything no matter how he tried. It was what the original plan was, to get rid of him but regret was beginning to creep in"I'm sorry Tim. I'm truly very sorry but i had to do it." she stammered, "I can't marry you i can't." By that time Timothy's t-shirt was soaked with blood constantly escaping his lips and a few minutes later he was gone. Helen looked at the dead body next to her then out the window realizing she had not made any plan on how to get rid of the body. She was more worried about the weapon at that time but unfortunately, i

Two days passed with Richard moving to and fro trying to negotiate bail for his daughter while on the other with hand Julia locked up in her room with tissues lying all over. She hadn't communicated with anybody in the last two days, and neither was she in the mood to talk to anyone at all. Hunger was the last thing on her mind, and she similarly hadn't had her bath in those past two days. Dragging herself out of bed she walked into the bathroom and took a quick shower before cleaning up her room and walking out, sure to grab one of the car keys on her way out. She had cried enough, and all she wanted was to let Richard feel the pain she had felt if not double. She was going to ensure Helen never got out of prison as payback, and she was going to ensure he died a slow and very painful death while hopelessly watching his beloved daughter suffer behind the walls of the unforgiving prison. She wanted him to regret ever being a resident on planet earth and she wanted to let it sink into

Richard walked out of advocate Primrose's office his mind circling around what they had discussed. He was at a point where even his vice presidency seat which he had fought hard for was not going to help him. Helen was not going to get out scotch free like he wanted, the case had too much evidence stacked against her"The least i can do at this point is get her a lesser sentence. Something like ten years or less. Maybe eight because we insisted it's self defense. Helen has proof on her phone of the deceased threatening her so basically her only crime was trying to get rid of the body." she had said"Make it five. I don't know how you are going to do it but find enough evidence to get her to just five years. Make it happen." he had said before walking out. Prim was a reputable lawyer. One of the best in the country and he hoped she would deliver. There was noway he was going to watch his daughter suffer in prison, and if he had to pay someone to get her the

After minutes of trying to answer herself Julia eventually gave up and put back the picture where she found it. She looked around one last time then made her way out but bumped into her worst nightmare just as she walked out. She stared at him in pure disgust, while he looked at her in utter shock. A minute passed with the two standing stationary by the corridor staring at each other but the staring contest was ended by Raymond clearing his throat. He stood next to Julia and rested his hand on her back as if to assure her to stay calm. She was calm she needed nobody to tell her that, she was as calm as she could ever be in the undisturbed presence of her enemy, and deep deep down she applauded herself for that"Dad. I thought you were sleeping." he said"I just woke up. Was on my way to your room when i bumped into this stranger. Who is she?" he asked stamping an unfriendly gaze at Julia"Her name is Julia. She is Helen's friend she doesn't sta
