Silence settled in the car.The heavy sound of my breathing along with the erratic pounding of my heart echoing through the air.I stood stiffly, not a sound left my lips—not even one gasp.I could barely feel anything— my body grew numb as the words of the nurse repeatedly rang in my head.“Vivian’s dead?” Ethan asked.His words snapped me out of my trance state.I turned to him, seeing his brows furrowed in a frown as he watched me.“She’s not dead,” I whispered, my voice low, as my chest burnt painfully.“She’s not dead.My mum is not dead, I just saw her a while ago.”My entire body trembled the more I spoke, yet I was not backing down.Disbelief roared its veins in my brain.I refused to believe that the woman I had just seen a few hours ago was dead.My gaze burnt into Ethan, and for some reason, my eyes hurt, but not with tears.I could barely feel that, because everything was numb.“Take me to see her, Ethan,” I pressed, my pupils dilated as I stared at him.He parted his lips

Ethan’s voice echoed and the matron flinched.She clenched her fist tightly besides herself, her hateful gaze on me.“We still have some procedure to complete,We cannot just allow her to see the body,” She insisted.But, I could hear the hint of fear in her tone.Ethan, hands on my hips loosened slightly, and he turned to face the police officers.His sharp eyes on them.“I believe hiding patients' information from their family members is a crime,” Ethan declared, as he pointed directly at the police officers then the matron.“Take her.Make sure she rots in the cell, for thinking she could lay her hands on my woman,” he growled.The matron's eyes widened with shock and fear, when she saw the officers moving toward her.“What….y…you can’t do that.How dare you?I did nothing wrong.That woman there should be arrested!” she screamed.The officers barely listened to a word she said.“She assaulted me, I have proof of it,” she screamed pathetically, struggling against their hold.“You c

I ended the call, the moment he uttered ‘okay.’I looked up to see the policemen from earlier standing by the side of that door.Ethan must have called them over there.Good! Now, the matron had nowhere to run to.My phone dinged—the notifications of videos clouding the front screen.Not hesitating, I moved through to them all, knowing exactly what I was looking for.My hands paused on a particular video.And I looked at the time written on it—nine forty five, which was a few minutes after I left the hospital.My mother lay on the bed still peacefully asleep.I stared at the screen, watching as the matron walked in her room.But the sight of who was beside her, made the air from my lungs disperse.It was—Vivian.Even through the phone, I could see the murderous expression on Vivian’s face as she watched my mother lay there peacefully.She then turned to the matron, her voice echoing through the loud speaker of my phone.“Wake her up.I want to see the pain in her eyes when I finally

Her face was ashen white like the color of snow as she stared at me.Her lips parted, and a small sound slipped out of them.“How did you?Ho…how did you know?” She stammered, almost falling to the floor luckily she was held in a bruising grip by the cops. My lips curled into a wide smug smirk as I watched her.Satisfaction filled my veins as I watched her face twist in terror.“It was not hard to guess.You both bear an uncanny resemblance.Although it’s not noticeable at the beginning.But I can see those venomous and vengeful eyes anywhere,” I hissed, my voice dark and hard while I stared at the face of my mother’s killer.I turned to face the cops, knowing I had more things to do.“I have concrete evidence of her involvements in my mother’s death,” I said.Raising my hands in the air, I pointed directly at her.“She’s an accomplice to the murder of my mother—Gina Harnes,” I roared.My gaze narrowed as I stared at her. “Take her away now.I’ll be coming to the station immediately

My body stood frozen, tremors shooting in my veins— goosebumps erupted on my skin. Vivian’s loud and painful scream filled the air, as the gun which she held fell to the ground with a thump.I wasted no time, swiping the gun in my hands so quickly that she barely had another opening.Her red sharp eyes moved to me filled with so much rage and anger as she cradled her bleeding hands from where the bullet had torn through.“Leah are you okay,” Ethan’s breathless voice came, followed by his thick strong hands wrapping around my waist.I could barely hear his voice as the sound of the gunshot still rang in my ears.My gaze moved past him to the police officers—the exact one who had shot Vivian.Luckily, he shot her right before she could pull the trigger on me.I was so close to death today.I looked it directly in the eyes, and yet I sailed through.But I barely had time to think of that fact.I did not risk my life in vain today.I needed something and hopefully I had gotten it.My eye
