You did what? ”.“ Is there a problem Ms. Roderick? ”.“ No, not at all” she replied trying to hold back the tears, and just then the door swung open with Charles stepping in.

Charles still filled with rage did not realize the blood that filled everywhere, The maid who was striding into the living room seeing the scene that was unfolding immediately dashed out of there. Although Charles heard the sound of the door swinging open, he was still engrossed with his rage and did not bother to check on the noise, he lifted the vast again ready to pounce on her, but the amount of blood on the floor scared him and he instantly threw the vast away. “Lilly! Lilly!!” He called out, panting heavily. “Lilly I know that this is your way of trying to get away from this, So get up and I promise not to hit you again”He exclaimed again but her body remained unmoved, blood gushing out from her head and body, and slowly its color was varying. “Lilly please get up and we can talk about this?” He called out again, and this time in a pleading tone but there was no word from her nor was there a reaction, Charles squatted down close to her and checked her pulse, but everything w

Dinner did not go as Emily had planned, Lisa had a frown spread across her face and could not wait to leave there. Seeing the intense air around the dining room, Collins cracked his throat, and seeing that he had all their attention, he spoke. “I am so glad to be able to be here with my family again, I did not realize what a blessing it was until I almost lost my life, And Harry, I am so grateful for your help and promise to pay back as soon as I can”“Collins dear, I told you that you do not need to pay him, he owes us more than that if we were to go into some calculation from the time he got married to Lisa”“ Mother! You do not realize the gravity of what he did for me, those men were pretty dangerous, and believe me when I say I would have lost my life, thanks man, after today, you earned my respect”“I did for Lisa” Harry replied with a smile. “I know, I see how much you love her, if only she loved you half as you do”“I do and he knows that” Lisa replied, cutting through his

In the large living room in Springfield mansion stood Lisa and her mother Emily, Emily still held the phone to her ear while Lisa stood still, the room was dead-drop silent except for the sound of the tickling on the wall clock, each second seeming to last an eternity. Lisa's face had become pale, her hands were trembling and her breath became shallow, she felt lost, adrift in a sea of confusion. “No! It can't be! Harry would never do such a thing, this is a prank” She finally spoke after standing there for what felt like forever, and just then, Emily's phone rang again. “Hello… Grandma” Emily managed to speak with her voice trembling. “I want to see you and Lisa at Charles's house this minute” Grandma Maria spoke in a sad but authoritative tone and immediately ended the call. “Lisa, it seems like you won't be having that party at the office today, let go” Emily grabbed her bag that was lying on the couch while she waited for Harry, picked up her car keys from the glass table, an

Inside the empty office where Lisa had previously had a conversation with Harry was Williams sitting opposite Harry and their voice was as low as it could be. “What is going on at the office?”“I told the board that you were at a business meeting and just a few hours after I got the news of your arrest, Mr. Paulos was at the office wanting to buy our company's share”“But I still do not think that is the reason they would murder Lilly”“It could have been an accident and they thought you were the best candidate to frame this on”“Which beats me back to my question which is why, I mean Charles is fully aware and knows how dangerous I could be, but he was bold enough to frame me”“That is because he believes that since you want your identity hidden, you wouldn't go through so much fuss as use your connection”.“I see... ” Harry replies nonchalantly. “Make sure that Mr. Paulos doesn't get his hands on any of our shares and then find out what happened to Lilly”“That will be very diffic

At the enormous Carrion mansion was the entire family and Jeff was also current there, everyone sat with a gloomy stare wearing black. They had just concluded the funeral rite of Lilly and her unborn child since all investigations had been concluded and autopsy results confirmed. Lisa sat close to her mother Emily, her eyes swollen with dark circles around them and it was the same thing for Sophia or Olivia and Grandma Maria was barely holding onto her sanity. “Now that the funeral is over, I think that it is time to move on” Grandma began to speak after so many hours of silence and tears. “Move on you say, I won't move on until I am sure that Harry has been put behind bars”. Sophia cried out. “All investigation has been concluded, the court will be giving their final judgment tomorrow and I believe that it will be in our favor”.
