“Mum, What happened to me?“ She asked. Mrs Laurette turned to Mr Oliver. Mr Oliver nodded, giving her the permission to speak.“Honey, you got shot,” Mrs Laurette said.“Shot?“ Amber mumbled softly. Slowly she began to remember. She remembered yelling and pleading for help, she remembered Mr Oliver trying to take the gun from Mr Nathan. And then everything went blank.“Mum, Mr Nathan,” Amber mumbled.“Don't worry baby, he is already locked up behind bars, and trust me, I don't think he's coming out of there, ever!“THE COURT OF LAW.THE JUDGE, THE LAWYERS, MR NATHAN, MRS MATILDA & MRS EMILIA.THE JUDGE.“I hereby sentence Mrs Emilia Cooper to Fifteen years imprisonment, for the murder of her husband Mr Cooper Williams,” The judge picked up another fine as she read through it.“Mrs Matilda will be sentenced to ten years imprisonment, for the attempted murder of Mr Bruce Wayne, alongside her husband Mr Nathan, Which they shall both return to court for final judgments, this case is adjou
“Laurette, please forgive me, please, I beg of you,” Mr Oliver got on his knees.“Waste of time, Oliver, you begging me right now is a waste of time, I'm happy I can see things clearly now, I'm happy I now know that all this while, you've done nothing but use me, and then throw me out when you didn't need me,” Mrs Laurette laughed bitterly as tears rolled down her cheek.“It's funny how my sister strictly warned me about coming back to you again. But what she doesn't know is that, I wasn't that blind girl, who would easily forgive you anytime you come back running. I said I wasn't coming back, And meant it. As soon as Amber gets out of here, I will start preparing the documents for our divorce. This is something I would have done a long time ago,” Mrs Laurette said. Mr Oliver shook his head in disagreement.“Honey, please, you can't walk out of my life, please, I'm not going to let you do that, I love you, and I know that you know that, please do not make.my life miserable, please, A
Mr Oliver grunted, he cursed under his breath before walking out of the door. “Can you imagine this fool walking out on me, I can't believe I even tried considering him,” Mrs Laurette grumbled as she sat down on the bed, beside Amber.“How are you feeling by the way?“ Mrs Laurette asked.“It hurts so much,” Amber said, placing her hand on her chest.“The doctor said the bullet was a few inches away from your heart, you were close to dying, I'm so grateful you're alive, and I can't lie, I'm happy I won't be seeing those bastards for a long time,” Mrs Laurette said.“Yeah, me too,” Amber sighed, she picked up her phone and began to scroll through it again. While Mrs stared at the thin air, lost in her thought.The door opened and the doctor walked in.“I'm so sorry I had taken so much time, I was in the theatre when the nurse informed me of you, How are you doing young lady?“ The doctor asked, with a wide smile as he advanced towards Mrs Laurette and Amber.“Good day Ma'am,” The doctor
When the doctor left Mrs Laurette turned to glare at Amber.“What?“ Amber asked.“Why were you so rude to the doctor?““I wasn't rude to him, I was only stating the obvious,” Amber said.“What obvious?““Mum, please, I need to rest, you haven't been shot before, so I'm sure you wouldn't know how painful it feels, if you knew, you would let me rest, instead of asking me unnecessary questions,” Amber mumbled.“Look who's talking, well, I do care about your well-being, so I'll let you rest. I'll go get coffee, and do you need anything?“ Mrs Laurette asked.“Not really, you could get me a milkshake, I'm really craving that right now,” Amber said.“Ouky-douky (a slang),” Mrs Laurette got up from the bed. She reached for her bag, taking out her phone and purse.“I'll get you burgers, just because I know you hate the food here, and I'm the best mum in the world,” Mrs Laurette teased on her way out.“I love you mum!“ Amber said and Mrs Laurette closed the door behind her.MR OLIVER.Mr Oliver
“Hey! Don't talk to her like that,” The Doctor said. Mr Oliver scoffed, shaking his head in disbelief.“You know what? Get the hell out, get the hell out of my house, my life, everything, I never want to see you again. You call me selfish, what then do you call yourself? This is over. And I mean it this time,” Mr Oliver said, he turned and began heading away. He walked Into the elevator, turning to look at Mrs Laurette. She seemed remorseful, while the doctor seemed confused. Mr Oliver's eyes didn't leave Mrs Laurette's remorseful stare until the door closed shut.“Please excuse me,” Mrs Laurette said,she walked past the doctor but she felt a grip on her hand. She looked down at the doctor's hand, holding hers.“Please I know it sounds weird and unprofessional, but can I atleast get your number?“ The doctor asked.“I'm sorry, I'm married, I got carried away and I shouldn't have flirted with you. Please have a nice day,” Mrs Laurette said. She felt the doctor grip on her hand loosen.
Trust me, I'm not giving up on Wayne, never,” Bailey said as she hung up.“Bailey, hello, are you there, Bailey! Oh God no!“ Aunt Matilda mumbled. She let go off the telephone, as tears streamed down her face. She tried to Warn Bailey about Wayne. But Bailey would not listen. BAILEY.Bailey ended the call as she sighed in relief. She has been hiding all this time, thinking she was in trouble. She still didn't understand what had transpired that day. How she landed in the hospital, even when the last thing she remembers was pulling the trigger at Amber.Well, from what her mother told her, it seemed like everything was fine. And now was the perfect time to execute her mother's plan. Only this time. She had more ideas on how to make this whole thing work.AMBER.It took Mrs Laurette a few hours before returning back to Amber's room.Amber was busy on her phone when Mrs Laurette opened the door and then she walked in with some bags.“You know you have to rest, instead of scrolling throu
Bailey dialled her friend Diana's number, and at the second ring, Diana picked up.“Hi,” Diana said.“What's up honey?“ Bailey asked. “I'm good, it's been a while I heard from you, how have you been? And how's your mum?“ Diana asked. Bailey became silent. Unable to speak.“That's really why I called you,” Bailey said.“What's wrong?“ You sound worried.“That is because I am worried. Look Diana, I need your help, and I don't know who else to go to, I really have no one,”“I—It's alright, tell me, what do you want? You've been there for Mr, ever since we were a child. If it's something I could do, trust me, I'll help,” Diana said.Bailey took a few seconds, wondering if she should go ahead and tell Diana about the plan, that someone had hacked the phone, and could be listening to the conversation.“I travelled out of the state, but I'll be back tomorrow, or next. How about we meet up at our favourite coffee shop. I'll let you know once I return,” Bailey said.“Alright babe, i'll wait f
MRS LAURETTE AND THE DOCTOR.Mrs Laurette knocked on the door to the doctors office.She waited a few seconds until she heard him say.“Please come in,” He heaved heavily, letting out a sigh before opening the door.She walked in and as soon as the doctor set his eyes on her. His eyes lit up in amusement.“Good day doctor,” she greeted, even when it had not been less than an hour before she saw him, she was nervous. And from the way he stared at her, he was nervous too.The Doctor cleared his throat.“Please pardon my manners. You can have your seat,” the doctor said, pointing to one of his chairs. Mrs Laurette took a few steps forward as she sat on one of the two chairs.“I don't mean to disturb you Sir, I'm just here to apologize for the way I reacted to you earlier. I wouldn't have walked out on you,”Mrs Laurette mumbled. The Doctor shook his head. “You don't need to apologize, I know how you felt. So tell me, is he your husband?“ The Doctor asked.Mrs Laurette let out a sigh, loo
