Unknown to Monica and Mrs Benson, Mr Benson was right at a corner eavesdropping. He heard right from the part that Monica said his wife had an affair with someone secretly. He saw his wife downcast after Monica has hurt her with those rubbish words, then left. "Laura" Mr Benson called his wife by her maiden name.Mrs Benson was shocked to see her husband behind her, she trembled a little and fought back the tears from flowing down her cheeks. "Did- did you hear what Monica just said? Have you - you been standing there for long?" She asked her husband. "Yeah" He nodded truthfully. "I'm sorry. All what she said now is not true. I swear. I don't know why she made up those words or who must have told her such. I never cheated on you!" Mrs Benson rushed all her words. "I know right. I know. It's definitely not true. Although I have heard of such rumour, this isn't the first time.. You liked him, didn't you?" Yet, her husband quaried. She was shocked and she di

Peter's POV Sincerely, I don't like what's happening to us. I've always heard that lovers go through think and tough. Perhaps, this is the definition of the thick and tough they usually talk about. If it, please let this pass by quickly. I really can't bear it anymore. I know that she didn't mean every word that came out of her mouth. It will even get her hurt than I am. I don't like the fact that she's always doing this. Now for a tangible reason. I'm afraid of the suitation on ground and at the same, I'm not. I'm not afraid because Mom already confided in me that they are innocent and I'm only afraid that we are still under the police suspect list. What if later, they find something which is not true and then it bounce back at us. Then it'll become the true end of Bella and I. It won't. I hope things will work out smoothly. But then, Since she asked for that silent treatment, although it's hard for me, but I'm gonna give it to her. Afterall, mom has told me to give h

Bella's POV So Mrs Benson insisted that I stay in the living room with all of them instead of locking myself in the room and being depressed. They were treating me way too nice. Mrs Benson, her husband and Peter was in the living room when I joined them. Actually, I heard when Mrs Benson had also forced Peter to leave his room before she came to call me out. The television was switched on, they were seeing a movie, I wasn't interested though yet I stayed in the living room with them, stared at the TV where as, my mind was far far away. Through, the corner of my eyes, I could see Peter staring at me. We have not communicated ever since that day I warned him not to. It's sad but better. He barely took his eyes off me but I didn't turn at all to gaze at him too. Through the corner of my eyes, he won't know I could see him. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. "I'll get that" I told them, then stood up and moved towards the door. I opened the door.

"Okay, I'm sorry for the false accusation. You are not under arrest. I'm sorry for saying that earlier" The policeman apologised. "Are we off your suspect list now?" Peter asked. "Hmmn. I can't really say" The police stammered a little. "Yes, you are. You are off the suspect list now. We literally only came here to give report about what your so called bossom friend, Withney had said about you" My mom replied. "Yeah. Now I just came up with a suggestion on how to catch the killer" The policeman announced. "What is it?" Mrs Benson asked. "Sorry, I can't disclose it. But I'll try my best to get back to you later. Thank you" He said. "We should leave now Mrs Benson" He said then worked before her. She went after him. * * * "What's your new suggestion?" Mrs Daves asked when they returned to the car. "Where exactly did your husband die?" The policeman asked her. "The Bridge towards Cenway" she replied, looking at his face. "Let's go check

Peter's POV Finally, we are off the suspect list. Like I knew it, it's definately not my parents! Also, I wondered why Monica's mom framed my father just because of a rumour she overheard.Anyways, I hope that the complicated issues we are currently facing in our lives gets resolved quickly. But for now, I need to speak to Bella. I can't hold it anymore. Haven knocked on her door, I pushed the door slowly since it wasn't locked.Bella was sitting on a chair, in front of her reading table. She wasn't reading though, instead she rested her head on the table.But she raised her head up when she heard someone entering her room. She looked away when she saw that it was me. I move closer though, then sat on her bed, right in front of her. "Hi" I said to her but she didn't say anything. I Continued, I only wanted to start a conversation with her.."I'm as tired, confused, frustrated as you are but one thing I know is that, all of this would come to an end real soon and eve

The door was flung, as it opened widely. Right there was the policeman and Mrs Daves. "Mr Bryan Withney" The policeman called his name in full. "You are under arrest for murdering Mr Daves!" "What??" Mr and Mrs Withney exclaimed at the same time. They were surprised that he was shocked even with the lie, Mrs Withney told them the previous time they came here. "What-what proof do you have that I killed him?" Mr Withney asked, about to deny it. "Apart from the fact that we overheard you few minutes ago, we've made our findings from Hitman Tylers!" The policeman told him "Right now, you look nothing, rather than a guilty man" The cop said.. "What you just said doesn't serve as a proof that I killed someone. I'm a reputable man incase you do not know.." Monica's father said. "That's right Policeman. Do not let my father decieve you. He's the murderer" Monica spoke up. "Monica, you are not helping matters at all" Mrs Withney pulled her back. "Arrrrgh

Monica on the other hand, Speaking of Monica, haven sobbed and sobbed over her broken family, she decided to start a new and better life. She started with apologising to the people she has offended, most especially Mrs Benson. Not only does she wanna apologise, she also wanna stay alone in her own lane. She doesn't wanna associate with anyone thereafter. She took a deep breathe in, let them all out before summoning up the courage to knock on the door. Since she didn't get a response at the first knock, she hesitated to knock again. She wanted to leave, she thought they'll resent her but Bella opened the door just when she turned to leave. "Ah... Hi" She stammered nervously, remembering that she owes Bella an apology too. "Hi" Bella responded sheepishly. "Err.. is everyone at home?" Monica asked as she walked in slowly. She was so scared of meeting The Bensons, she thought of what they might think about her. "I'll go announce to everyone that Mr Withney

Bella's POV "Peter" I called his name after he has taken some steps away. He stopped walking but he didn't say anything. He didn't even turn to look at me. I didn't know where to begin, so I kept mute. He wanted to leave again, so I began to spew out my heart. "Peter I'm sorry. Stop avoiding me and talk to me!" I said and began to cry but he scoffed like he didn't care. "Peter!" I screamed his name. That was when he turned to look at me. "Is it high time we communicate now? No, I don't think so" He smirked. "I'm sorry" I repeated. "Okay. I'm glad your father's killer has been found. It's been making you worried. That's all I have to say to you" He said. "Peter" I muttered, moving closer to him slowly. "What is it Bella?" He asked. "Are you mad at me? Why?" I mumbled. He sighed heavily. "Yes, I am mad at you. I'm super mad at you. First, you totally believed my parents must have killed your father" Peter said. "No - I... " I stam

Bella's POV We did not stop kissing until we heard some footsteps coming, probably close to us. He held my hand and gently pulled me to his room. I bit my lips, smiling and blushing. I touched my cheeks as I could feel it hot and red. Peter was smiling widely too. I wanted him to speak first but right now, I was so shy. Then He coughed in an awkward way then finally said something; "I miss you Bella" "Me too. I miss you" I replied. "Well... obviously. We went through alot. So we didn't have time for us" He said,holding my hand and intertwining it with his. "I'm sorry..." I wanted to apologise again but he interrupted me by placing his finger on my lips and I smiled. "I'm sorry about your father's death issue" He said."It's okay. Now I believe that whenever you say everything will be fine, it different will be" I told him. "Exactly" He replied. "I have alot to say to you. It's been piled up in my mind" "Spew it out. Talk to me every now

Peter's POV Since our parents knew that Bella and I were back together again, they left us alone to have our nice time while they spent their own nice time in their room. Bella and I were preparing for the outing, the time we fixed was in the next an hour. Bella wasn't aware that I ordered a very beautiful outfit for her and we were expecting it that morning. Talk of the devil, we heard a knock on the door and the visitor announced that he was the delivery Man. "Go get it. The order isn't for me. " I gestured to Bella. "I didn't place any order too. Probably your parents" She replied. "No, they didn't" I smiled. "Just go get it" I told her. She looked at me suspiciously as she walked to the door to meet the delivery Man. I came closer to watch the scenero. "Hello, I think you've got the wrong address" Bella said to the delivery Man and I chuckled inaudibly. "No. I'm at the right place. One Miss Bella Daves placed this order" He said. "What
