She heard his car in the driveway and she tried to look calm as possible.She heard a groan and sophie turned sharply. Denzel was up, more like Thomas now."Denzel", she rushed to his side immediately but Thomas pushed her off completely scared by the close proximity."Hey sorry", he tried to stand and help her up but there was a sharp pain at his back."You okay?" Sophie asked and stood first then helped him up."What happened?" Thomas asked when the doorbell rang.Sophie went for it."Detective Winston?", she pretended to be surprised."Ms. Harmsworth", he returned with a smile. Sophie gave way for him to walk in."Mr. Williams", he called as he saw Thomas sitting on the couch."What again?" Thomas sighed. It threw Winston aback abit. He had completely forgotten his ruling on Denzel having a double personality."This can't be happening right now", he muttered to himself."Mr. Williams I need your full attention 'cause I believe you're in there", he said and Sophie stared surprised
Thomas kept walking around until he stood face to face with a cathedral. He stared before deciding to go in. It reminded him alot of his mom. She'd always take him to one, she surely was a Christian.He walked in and the whole place was quiet and calm as he expected. Just a few people walking around.He walked into the main cathedral and took a seat behind. He just sat there blankly. Nothing in particular raiding his mind. He just wanted to get out of all of this.He kept staring into the nothingness when a woman walked up to him."Are you new son?" Her voice reached him and Thomas swerved his neck to see a woman smiling back at him.His breathing hitched as he held her gaze. He had to blink again to be sure he wasn't going crazy than he already was."Mom?" He gasped."You have anything in particular you praying for?" She sat beside him.Thomas couldn't stop staring at her that he had to touch her to be sure he wasn't crazy and he felt her flesh as real as possible."Hope you don't m
"what do I think?" She repeated after him."Mr Williams. I have heard alot about you and you don't seem like one to be mourning", she said with a straight face. Thomas's smile disappeared. "So I'd rather hear your side of the story than what I think because I'm guessing you already have an idea of what I think", she said satisfied with wiping that stupid smile off of Thomas's face."What if I don't know what happened?" "Then you can as well plead guilty in court", Diana said "I thought you're here to help me"."You obviously do not need help", she arched a brow, "do you?""I'd rather speak to another lawyer"."And I'd rather speak with a more reasonable client. Mr. Williams you can't afford a law and the state was kind enough to offer you one and all you want to do is play mind games with me", Diana knew she wasn't sounding nice but handing her this case was an insult to the name she's built for herself already and for a lowly person like Mr. Williams to toy with her, she couldn't
Thomas sat in the cathedral the following day. Maybe seeing his mom was all he needed to be sane in this world. He sat in there for over two hours, watching people walk in and make prayers and step out. He sighed. Maybe she doesn't come everyday or was he specifically hallucinating yesterday. He stood and decided to leave, but right outside the door, he stood face with her. "Mom", he smiled wildly. "Tommy", she smiled too and he hugged her. "How long have you been here?", she asked as they sat outside the cathedral. "Not so long enough, came to see you", he said. "Oh", she mouthed with a smile. "Do you always come here?", he asked. "I work in the compound but once I'm done, I go in and make a little prayer", she said. "I'll be waiting", he smiled and she nodded and walked in to make her little prayers. When she was done, she came out to meet Thomas waiting for her as he said. "Are you headed home now?" He asked. She hesitated abit, "yeah". Thomas knew asking outright i
The heck was actually going on??? Denzel looked around, Winston wasn't among the cops, and who the fuck was Seraphin Garcia??? "There must be a mistake somewhere, you have the wrong person. I don't even know who Seraphin whoever is??" Denzel tried to explain but he was cuffed and bundled out. His freedom now was surely over. He was to be held in jail till his trial. "You honestly do not come off as the dangerous type Mr Williams", Diana was seated before him. "Who are you?" Denzel asked. Diana stared at him and chuckled, "are you trying to be funny?" "Please help me", Denzel launched forward, scaring Diana the more. "I don't know what's going on with me. Ever since my wife died, I barely remember doing things or going anywhere. Most times it's as though I'm in a trance or a deep sleep and next I wake up. I'm somewhere else. I don't know what to do. I need help please. Trust me I don't even know who this Garcia is or might be". His eyes were teary. Diana just stared at him. S
"you have to let me out?" Thomas began pleading."She's your mom?""Of course she's my mom! What happened to her?" Diana didn't understand a thing. She rose to her feet."I want to know what happened. Who killed her?!"Diana spared him one last glance before leaving finally.Thomas was taken back to his cell. Diana went back to her office. In all her tears as a lawyer, she has experienced drunks, people with different mental issues but not what she saw today. The look in his eyes, his entire personality. "Mom", she repeated the words.Every inch of her being was itching to investigate more, but that wasn't the plan right. But what if he's innocent as he said. What was she missing? What was that look in his eyes???She sighed and tried to shove the thoughts aside.Work was almost over but Diana didn't know peace. It haunted her. She took her phone and dialled Winston. He's in charge of the case, maybe she's going to run and investigation after all.*****"That's all there is", Wi
"Tania", she gasped and held onto her immediately."Bitch, fuck off!!" The lady pushed her hard that she landed on her butt. Her tears resumed. She had begun hallucinating things.She walked slowly into the mall and got all she needed. She was driving back home when she couldn't take it anymore. She made a quick turn and headed to Deborah's."Sophie?" Deborah called surprised."Mom", she hugged her and cried."What's going on? What's wrong?" She led her inside and onto the couch."Tania's dead. I feel so lonely and scared", she cried.Deborah sighed, she had released enough tears and she had consoled herself. She promised not to shed another tear but fight for her daughter's justice, to make sure the one who sent her to the grave goes to the grave."I do too Sophie, but we'd get him. Conrad did this. That monster", Deborah gritted.Sophie lost the courage again.She came here hoping to open up to Deborah, she was dying slowly on the inside but how was she to tell this woman to her fa
"park"."We met at the park", Sophie answered so fast as though she'd caught on the idea of Diana suspension."I took Tania to the park and you know children and meeting other kids. They were playing together", Deborah explained."Was she with anyone?" That was the next question tugging at Diana's lips but she didn't voice it. She simply nodded and looked around."How often is your husband home?" She asked."He has friends around though he usually isn't the outgoing type but working as a plumber keeps him busy", Deborah said."Is there really no tangible evidence to prove Denzel is guilty?" She asked wanting to be sure.Diana didn't answer her question, she exhaled and asked her final question before she'd take her leave. She wasn't expecting to meet Sophie here."How well do you know your husband?" Deborah was taken aback abit, but she thought it through before answering."I met Conrad at a convenience store, and after that, we just kept bumping into each other randomly. We began to
