The good hearted Assassin

Episode 50 Unveiling Truths

The Bathroom Encounter

She was about to step out of the bathroom when she felt the vibration. Ruth's instinct kicked in, and she jumped to the other side of the wall, narrowly avoiding a falling metal bracket. The room reeked of acid, and Ruth quickly realized the danger they were in. She stood up, stretched her hand, and pulled Dorothy to her side.

"Try to keep the evidence," Ruth whispered urgently, her voice filled with determination.

Dorothy, scared and confused, mustered the courage to ask, "Why do you want to kill me?"

Ruth's voice trembled as she replied, "You killed my father, Dorothy."

Dorothy's voice shook as she responded, "Yes, I did. But your father was an evil man. Let me show you what he did."

Ruth pulled Dorothy outside, and as they opened the door, they leaped to avoid scalding hot water that cascaded down. Dorothy realized that Ruth had saved her from a trap she had set.

"You saved me from the trap I installed for you," Dorothy said, her voice filled with gratitude.

"Yes, I did," Ruth replied, getting up and pulling Dorothy with her.

Hand in hand, Ruth and Dorothy emerged from the bathroom, surprising everyone present. They stood together at the cell door, seeking permission from the warden.

"Can I have my phone for a while, please?" Ruth asked the warden.

"Just a minute, I'm coming," the warden replied, returning shortly with Ruth's phone.

The warden instructed them to sit where she could see them. Ruth played a video on her phone, revealing short clips of Dorothy's father, Don, engaging in various criminal activities and taking innocent lives. Overwhelmed with emotions, Dorothy sobbed, and Ruth embraced her with empathy.

"So, Don killed my family and adopted me from the orphanage, raising me as his daughter?" Dorothy asked Ruth, her eyes filled with tears.

"That's exactly what happened to me, except I wasn't taken to any orphanage," Ruth replied, looking away.

Ruth helped Dorothy come to terms with the truth and encouraged her to face the consequences of her crimes.

Bonds Strengthened

James and Alex visited Ruth in prison, curious about her well-being and whether she had made any friends.

"How are you doing? Have you made any friends yet?" Alex asked.

"Yes, I did. Dorothy is my friend too," Ruth replied, surprising Alex.

"Did she forgive you for killing her father?" James inquired.

"Well, I just showed her how evil he was," Ruth said with a smile, and the three of them laughed.

"The DNA results are out. Tomorrow is the hearing. I'll come to get you, okay?" James informed Ruth.

Ruth's expression turned slightly sad. "Don't worry, baby girl. I'm sure we're not related," James reassured her, smiling. "How sure are you? Have you seen the results?" Ruth asked.

"I'm just sure. You are not that evil man's daughter," James replied confidently.

The Truth Unveiled

The next morning, everyone gathered anxiously, awaiting the announcement of the DNA results.

"Today, on the second of February, we are gathered here to listen to the DNA results of Ruth Banda and Donald Black," the speaker announced. "The results are as follows: DNA analysis confirms that Ruth is not Mr. Donald's daughter."

Ruth couldn't contain her joy. She was relieved to know that she was not related to the man she had loved so deeply.

"We just need to get you out of prison, and then things will be fine," James said, his voice filled with determination.

Ruth smiled, grateful for James's unwavering support. "I need to investigate what happened to my mom and dad during their honeymoon," she declared, her determination shining through.

Bonds Strengthened

Ruth and Dorothy became close friends, supporting each other through their shared experiences and the challenges they faced.

Meanwhile, Jemima, consumed by jealousy and anger, couldn't accept that James and Ruth had rekindled their love. She threw her bag in frustration and shouted angrily, "And I thought she was James's sister! Now they're back as lovers!"

Jemima stormed into her bedroom and saw a picture of Ruth. In a fit of rage, she muttered, "You can never get James away from me. He belongs to me. You are not beautiful."

She picked up her laptop, opened it, and turned on the camera. As she watched James undress, her obsession with him grew stronger.

Pursuing Dreams

At Paradise Village, Susan sat outside, lost in her thoughts. Alex joined her, curious about what was on her mind.

"What are you dreaming about?" Alex asked, taking a seat beside her.

"Nothing important," Susan replied, hesitating.

"Don't worry. You can tell me, even if it's not important," Alex reassured her with a warm smile.

Susan closed and opened her eyes, gathering her courage. "Do you think I can go back to school?" she asked, her voice filled with hope.

Alex looked down for a moment, then met her gaze. "Why not? You are as free as I and Ruth are. You need to pursue your dreams," he said, his smile encouraging.

Susan's face lit up with joy, and she couldn't help but feel grateful for the support she had found in Alex and Ruth.

As the story unfolds, Ruth's quest for justice and the truth about her parents' fate intensifies. Alongside her friends, she faces numerous challenges, uncovering secrets and finding solace in unexpected places. Will she find closure and redemption, or will her journey lead her down a darker path? Only time will tell in this action-packed, episodic novel, "Unveiling Truths."
