Chapter 81: Found something
Writer's povEsther paced the small garden, while Chris was seated reading the newspaper. He would take his eyes off the paper to look at his wife, concerned that she was bothered by her dream and more by her conversation with their son. The beautiful garden located at the back of their large house was filled with beautiful birds, all of which kept singing one song or the other, making a testament to the beautiful morning and the beautiful New York weather. If only they could pass the peace they felt to Esther so she could stop worrying about the dream she had."Would you stop pacing? I feel like I could faint any moment." He folded his newspaper and tried again to get her to sit, but just like the other times, she ignored him. "I can't. I had that dream three days in a row, three days in a row, Chris!" She gave him a hysterical glare and he shook his head."It doesn't mean anything." He knew it meant something, but all he wanted that moment was for

Chapter 82: Tipping point 1
VeronicaMy heart felt heavy for no reason as I walked into Cship's building. Missing work the other was something I hadn't planned and I wondered what exactly I had missed. The clicking sound of my black pumps got Bob, the security, looking my way. He threw a smile my way, as I said a quick greeting before I dumped the ring donuts I bought for him."You definitely know how to spoil a man." He said, his eyes practically flooding the tasty treats as he opened the box to take a look."I'm sure you wish your wife was more like me, right." I teased, smiling mischievously."Wanna know a better wish?" He waved me closer so he could tell say something, "I wish there was a time machine now that would take me back, so I could wait till you came." He whispered into my ears and I laughed, enjoying our banter."Well, I'll leave you to it." I winked as I drew back, walking towards the lift."I'll do justice to it, I might even give the new guy when he co

Chapter 83: Tipping point 2
Veronica"Wait... Wait.." I paced the length of his office, acting like I was thinking, " I think I know why you gave Miles the promotion now. If you could have threatened to kill him one moment, only to promote him the next, then I wonder what Miles knows." It was the way Evans got out of the seat and slammed his hands loudly on the desk, displacing some contents on the floor."Don't you dare!" He spat, his eyes bulging out of its sockets as he tried to stare me down. "Or else!""You'll fire me?" I supplied, not scared at all. "Don't worry, I quit. No way will I remain in the employ of a sexist like you!""Get out of my office!" He yelled back at me, spittle flying out of his mouth."Not until I say my piece. You promoted Miles because he knew of your affair with Gina, didn't you?" I asked on my loudest voice, ready to bring this house down. If the people wanted gossip, tell me who I was not to supply it."You don't have any proof!" He spat

She considered, not for the first time, hiring someone who could help her at the bakery, but after having been stolen from but in money and in machinery, by the last person she employed, the idea didn't seem as catchy as it should have been."Baby, are you okay now."

Chapter 87: Pseudo-suspect
Hunter's povIt's been exactly five hours, ten minutes, and seventeen seconds since the whole ordeal started at my place. I had been sitting for a long time, watching different news stations break the news of my arrest, after the first station broke the news. It was like I was watching the news like I normally did, because I couldn't believe I was the one on the screen. If I ever imagined this happening to me, it would be because of my situation with Veronica, not because I would be a suspect in a murder case. The funny thing was, I couldn't find it in myself to be angry about it, as I felt this weird happiness, that the reason I was arrested wasn't because Veronica found out what I had done and reported me. It only made me wonder who hated me enough to set me up. I didn't have enemies that would kill someone just to pass me off as the killer. Or did I?It would seem that I had to rethink who exactly would want my downfall and disgrace, because whoever planned this, wa

Chapter 89: Questions
Hunter povFinally, we all enter into the interrogation room, with the exception of Chadwick, who I suspected was behind the screen. Oscar was beside me, advising me to always be calm and answer their questions with the truth. He said this because he knew I was innocent, and everything I said could be corroborated with some investigating.Aaron sat down in front of me, his gentle face looking stony like it could break a diamond. I actually found myself wishing it was detective scarface that was doing the interrogation."Let's begin." He said, and I immediately felt like a prey in a den full of lions. What brought on that feeling, that couldn't say. But I had to adjust so that I won't come across as guilty."Tell us about your relationship with the deceased." Aaron had his pen opened, staring at me while he played with the ball at the end of the pen. I focused on the movement for some seconds before I transferred my gaze to his face."Grace and I ha

Chapter 90: Tough times
Veronica's povI opened the mail father told me he sent to me on my personal computer, still sitting in my office as I waited for Hunter to get back to me. I was worried he hadn't still called me, but I kept telling myself he was probably busy. I saw the mail and read the content after I opened it. Subject: Tough timesTough times are those times when things don't seem to go the way we want them to. We feel anguish, sadness and pain when things become tough, and we tend to lose hope. This shouldn't be the time we lose hope, instead, it should be the time we hold on to God. Doing so will bring answers and solutions to whatever bothers us. Do not feel God hates you when tough times starts, Abraham went through tough times, David went through tough times, even Jesus experienced it too. So who are we to live without trials?As you read this, I pray the peace of the Lord will be with you and whatever you are going through. With Christ, you a
