Dark Secrets (Thriller) Chapter 20
Neil didn’t expect to walk into her home with her. It was just a walk, he convinced himself. The evening was nice and he could tell the day only went better. “So do you have hope about the case?” He asked her. She stopped before her entrance. “With the recent dead ends, not really.” One of the neighbors approached her with an apple. She thanked her and took a bite.“I promise you, unless we know Melanie’s past and those she hung out with, we cannot know. Only Melanie can tell who killed her.”Neil didn’t like her response. He plunged his hands in his pocket. “As a detective, you shouldn’t be that negative.”“I have no other choice. All we get here is dead ends. The men harassing the girls have nothing to do with Melanie.”“Did you try to match their DNA?”“There is no dna. He didn’t leave any clue, Neil. But no criminal is that careful. I am sure he left something. Melanie must have a hint somehow.”Morrie removed her jacket. and turned on her ceiling fan. She took out a beer from

“Thanks for bringing the diary. It will be very helpful.” Morrie said, collecting the diary from Neil. She took it in an aggressive way, nodding her head to a beat that played on her phone. “It won’t be useful.” Neil told her. “At least, I will have some juicy stuff to read. I haven’t dug into someone secret in a while.”“Much of an detective.” He laughed. Detectives have access to secrets others don’t. That was one of the million pleasant things about the job. It wasn’t boring at all. It always kept one on their toes.Neil was still disappointed about George.“You are right!” Morrie said with a wink. “She does have an admirer. She must have had a crush on him. All her puppy eyes and sad remarks shows that she loved him.”“I do not get why she ended up with her husband?”“Boyfriend you mean, or fiance. I do not get her story. Anyway, that guy is filthy rich. It’s possible all Melanie wanted was his money.”Neil wasn’t surprised. “She is capable of doing that.”Morrie frowned when s

Neil didn't feel bad when George was arrested. In fact, he thought it served him right. The guy hid a dark truth from him for too long. It was high time he paid for his sins. The letters were brought to the police station as evidence and George was questioned.“Why did you hurt her?” Morrie asked with a death stare.“I swear on my mum’s life, Morrie. I did not kill anyone.” “What makes you think we will believe you? It is so obvious you killed her. You have no evidence to prove you didn’t.”“I do,” George lashed. “I was home with my girlfriend all through the night Melanie was killed. Why would I kill Melanie when I moved on?”Morrie wasn’t buying his story. Nor was Neil“According to her diary, she was in love with someone apart from her boyfriend. But there was no way for her to be involved with him, since she also loved her boyfriend. Her child got in the way too, so she couldn’t leave.” Morrie explained.“What does that have to do with me?”“Were you and Melanie ever in a relatio

Neil wasn’t the happiest man in the world when he heard his friend was sentenced to life imprisonment. This was something he least expected from George. What friend wanted to hear that?A whole George he knew! The guy can barely shoot a gun!That evening, he walked by the beach and stared at the ocean. The land breeze was nice, no doubt. Few people folded their mats to end their tanning since the sun was going in. Neil smiled. Of course it was the beginning of summer! Every living soul wanted to tan, except him of course. That wasn’t even a thought in his mind at that moment. His phone vibrated and he took the call. Morrie was calling. “Yeah?” He didn’t sound as energetic as usual. “Are you fine? You sound too relaxed.” “I am at the beach. Perhaps that’s the cause.” She giggled. “Yeah. I heard about your friend. I am so sorry about him.”“It’s nothing,” Neil didn’t mind. “He got what he deserved. An innocent child was made motherless because of him.”“Imagine that! Do you know ho
Dark Secrets (Thriller) Chapter 24
Neil enjoyed the fear in Morrie’s eyes. He enjoyed the smell of freedom again. How long was he to pretend? How long was he to cover up for his crimes and be Mr good? He was tired of being Mr Good! He is tired of being everyone’s favorite detective. He was tired of losing women he loved. “What is the meaning of this?” Morrie was confused. “I request for an explanation immediately.”Neil rolled his eyes and paced about the room for a while. “Promise to keep quiet and not judge.” He made her give her word. “I promise. Just tell me what is going on.” He sat beside her and dropped the gun on the side stool. “I was never like this. I do not usually like women. She forced me to be like this, I promise.” “What are you talking about?”“She was a very beautiful model. She appeared in every magazine and I loved her. I shared my first kiss with her. I also shared my first sex with her because she was crazy for me. We were into each other. So into each other. Then that idiot came and ruined e

Morrie stared at him with rage. She struggled to set herself free. Once again, it was to no avail. She was full rage. “I do not care what Melanie did to you. You killed the mother of a child. Not only did you do that, you also framed your friend!”“I didn’t mean to drag George into this. He was the only way to distract the police.”“So those letters in his house were fake?”He shook his head. “They weren’t. He wrote those letters himself, but never sent it. As for the broken necklace, I planted it in his drawer. I knew you would doubt him and search his home. As for the diary, I ripped out the page that had my name in it.”“When did you do all this? You didn’t know he will confess loving Melanie, did you?”“I didn’t,” Neil shook his head. “But the night he did, I knew it wasn’t chance to frame him. I dropped him at his home and came back in the dead of the night to break in.”“You broke into his house?!”“How else could I have planted the broken necklace? It was my only way.” Morrie
Dark Secrets (Thriller) Chapter 26
“She isn’t home!” The sergeant told Neil as he knocked on Morrie’s door the tenth time. Neil already knew she wasn’t home. He got back into his rented car and asked the sergeant to get in. “Perhaps she went to see a friend. Let us see her some other time.”The sergeant didn’t look satisfied. “Can I suggest something?” He asked. Neil raised his brows. What’s the man doing? “We should ask her neighbors if they’ve seen her. That should help.”Neil shook his head. “No need for that. It is prying. We shouldn’t be prying.” “The CO said she sent a danger signal also. We shouldn’t be too relaxed.”Neil hated the insistence.“Are you teaching me my job?”“The CO will be angry with us if we come with no tangible news. Knocking on her door and leaving is not a good start.”Neil frowned at the sergeant. The sergeant was smarter than he thought. He was becoming a nuisance. One of Morrie’s neighbors stepped out and the sergeant went to her. Neil joined them with a carefree look.“Hello, ma’am,”
Dark Secrets (Thriller) Chapter 27
Detective Ronald (Third Person POV)Detective Ronald fidgeted with the watch in his office as his men brought in more boxes they found at Neil’s home. His visit was unexpected. He did that on purpose. He was once a secret agent during his younger days. So he knew what he was doing. When he heard of Neil’s closeness to Morrie and George, he thought of him as a first suspect. Not that Neil did something wrong or caused him to doubt. But the guy’s convenient way of getting away with cases, shocked him. Why haven’t they found Morrie’s stalker yet? Why was Neil conveniently slacking instead of searching for Morrie? It made no sense to him. Finding Morrie’s smartwatch at his home only made things worse. It barely made his doubt any better. “Open those boxes and tell me what is in there. Remember to use the gloves.”His men nodded and they began to bring out some old dusty items. The CO rushed in with disbelief. “How are you here so fast?” He asked.“We’ve got a case on our hands, sir,” R
