That same morning, Katherine sat on the bed inside her room. Her eyes buried on the bed as fear coursed through her for what she had done. Her lips quivered as her heart crossed the incident from the previous night at Nancy's house party. She gasped shakily with a downcast gaze, “how could she have done such a thing," she wondered without voicing out her thoughts. “Are you in? Look child, we can talk about whatever is stressing you. Can you please open the door now?" Mariana called out to her from outside the room, but Katherine closed both her ears with her palms. Tears gathered in her eyes as her shoulders slumped, a clear sign of her guilt. “Go away, Mom. Please." She cried out. Hearing her voice, Mariana was shocked and perplexed by the paleness in her voice. She gasped softly and became more concerned to find out her problem. **Flashback**The previous night, Katherine had prepared for the party as she had promised Nancy back in the office. She wore a red leather gown,
“Katherine please, let me help with whatever it is that you're going through."! Mariana screamed from outside the room, but Katherine ignored her cries. Her eyes had gone red due to excessive crying.How would she explain what happened last night? She had fled from the scene after killing Nancy, but it couldn't go away. It's only a matter of time before they discover her dead body.There was no helping it. Surely the investigation will lead the police to her doorstep soon enough, and the guilt of murder hung heavy on her shoulders. “Katherine honey, please open up," Mariana called again, but there was no response still. She grew tired of standing and left the place for the time being. As she left, Katherine heard her footsteps fading away, she walked to the door and opened up to ensure that she had gone.A heavy breakdown took place, as she battled with the guilt in her heart. She stared at the clock hanging beside her bed. It was past 9 am already, and she hadn't taken her bath for
Two days later, Gregory and Mariana's relationship became known to both families. He had phoned her to announce his arrival, but he couldn't reach her phone.He drove down to her house in Boston, and when he got there, the house was quiet even though the door was unlocked. Entering the house, a fantastic smell of barbecue sauce was coming from the kitchen.He walked down the kitchen, but there was no one. Surely she had just finished making something. The aroma of her food smells across the kitchen down to the sitting room.“Mariana," he called, but there was no response. He asked to the room impatiently. As he opened the door, she jumped on him with a joyful scream, a clear sign of her happiness.“Hey," he smiled back at her and kissed her lips.He took her to the bed, and they collapsed on the bed. “What are you up to? I noticed you prepared something delicious. Please can we eat already? I'm famished." He said, and she chuckled. "We need to talk," she said to him. He sighed worri
On a sunny afternoon, Kelvin visited Vancouzer to check out things in the company. Nancy's murder was no longer news, and an Investigation was going on. As he entered his office, everything seemed new. There have been some changes for the past few weeks he has been off work. As he settled down, a knock came calling, and Katherine entered the office.She stood over the desk, hands crossed with a downcast gaze.“Hey,” he greeted, and she raised her face. A faint smile etched over her lips, spoke volumes about her inner grief.“What is the matter? You don't look good." He asked, his face filled with curiosity. She sighed and raised her face. Tears gathered in her eyes, as she stared at him wallowing in self-pity. How could she tell him what she had done? “He already hates her, she'll only be finalizing his hatred for her if he should find out.” she thought.He narrowed his eyes around her face as if he could read her thoughts. It was obvious that she was troubled. Seeing her situation,
“Hello?" “Hello, please tell me you have something for me. Your long silence saddens me. You should know that Mark just left my office, and I don't like it when he bluffs directly to my face.”“He has all the cards, and I need you to help me with something, just anything that I can hold onto. Please tell me you have something for me.” Kelvin spoke to the caller on the phone. It was Amara, after agreeing to spy for Kelvin, she had gone missing in action for weeks. “You should know better not to give me random calls. You underestimate Mark, don't you? What if he is having this call tracked?” "What the fuck? Do I look like I care? I don't give a shit, all I ask is that you provide me something I can hold onto else, all these would be lost before it begins." Kelvin yelled at her. His growing rage was evident in his voice as he spoke. “Are you kidding? I get it that you want to save your family's legacy, well what about my safety? Do you care about that? Or you're just a random selfis
“It was never my intention." “It happened while you were gone. She came to my office to talk. At first, I wondered why because we're not close. I noticed she might be trying to build a friendship, so I gave her listening ears.”Kelvin readjusted his feet, his gaze fixated on her face. His interest was clearly in her words, and he couldn't wait to understand what had happened. “Ok, so how did that result in you killing her?" She let out a deep sigh with a downcast gaze that expressed her grief.“She came and started asking questions about Pamela's whereabouts and how you intended to find your Kidnapped sister. She wanted to know the procedures you intend to work with. She claimed that I was close to you and for that reason, I can help."“I felt her questions were suspicious, so I started questioning her, that was when she invited me to her birthday party. At first, I was reluctant to go, but I realized that I could get close to her and find out if she was up to anything suspicious."
Katherine lay on the bed with her eyes facing the ceiling. A low smile etched across her lips as she gazed at the ceiling lost in her imagination. Flashes of the incident back in the office crept into her mind, and she sighed in relief. “Kelvin,” she muttered affectionately. She paused and exhaled deeply, as she thought about the possibilities lying in wait for her.“Katherine, are you in?” Her mother's birthday ice called, and she sighed. “What is wrong with you lately? Is there anything you need help with? Let me help you. Open up.” She ignored her mother's call and covered her ears with both palms. After waiting by the door, it dawned on Mariana that she wasn't coming out soon.She exhaled and walked away while Katherine listened to her fading footsteps. In Boston, Kelvin entered the house in answer to the meeting called by Uncle Theo.As he stepped into the sitting room, all eyes fell on him like he was the center of attraction. He swallowed nervously, wondering what could be
“My goodness!"“All these things have happened and I'm just learning about them?"“Kelvin found out before me? Where were you considering telling me any of these? Huh, Becca? And you too, Gregory. How dare you fool me and make fun of my intelligence?" Uncle Theo said, after hearing Becca's narration. His eyes were filled with Intense seething rage, and he clenched his fist in anger. There was total silence in the room as everybody waited for him to calm down. “Uncle please, I know that you're angry, and you have every reason to be, but this is not the best t…” However, before Kelvin could complete his statement, he was interrupted by Uncle Theo’s angry voice. “Don't even complete that statement! How dare you keep me in the dark in such a crucial matter? Do you have any idea how this family has been growing? I am the backbone of this household.”“Without me, my father, your grandfather wouldn't have gotten to the level he was before his death. I gave everything, I gave up the woman
