“Try her number again,” Angelica said to Xavier. It was almost midnight and Peggy hadn’t returned from the hospital. The last time they spoke she said she was almost done and was ready to head home. “It’s not connecting,” Xavier replied, looking equally worried. “Maybe she had gone on a date,” Xavier tried to reason, but even he knew that Peggy wouldn’t take a step without informing Angelica. I just called the hospital, and they said she had left right after paying for Alex’s bill. “That isn’t right?” Xavier scrunched his face in confusion. “She was still hanging around after she paid, we saw her in the video call,” Xavier commented. “Something fishy is going on” Xavier said. “I know, the nurse who had talked to me sounded off, it was like she was reading off a script,” Angelica said. “We will head over there first thing tomorrow morning, there isn’t much we can do now,” Xavier said. “I’m sure she’s alright, might just be delayed in traffic,” Xavier tried to calm Angelica.
“Is there another angle we could watch it from?” Xavier asked. “I’m sorry, sir, this is the only one,” the hospital security replied. Xavier nodded, his eyes trained on the screen, as they watched Peggy walk into her car and driving off. “Something isn’t right,” Angelica said, searching around the video for clues. Her eyes zeroed in on the way Peggy packed her hair. “Xavier, look,” Angelica hissed, pointing at the way she had packed her hair. “Peggy hates high ponytails, it always leaves her with a migraine at the end of the day,” Angelica explained. Xavier nodded, it was true, he had never seen her out her hair up in such a manner. “excuse me,” the head nurse said, walking in with a smile on her face. Xavier and Angelica turned, “hi, I am Beatrice, the head nurse, I hear you have some questions?” the head nurse said. “Yes, we were just asking about our friend, she was here yesterday,” Angelica said. Showing her the picture of Peggy.Beatrice nodded, “yes I saw her yesterday,
Clarissa smiled, “Angelica and t left the hospital, I am sure they will be heading over to Angelica’s office, where they would find Peggy’s resignation letter,” she announced. Kelanie smirked, the first part of her plan was coming along, now she could happily move on to the next phase. “What are you smiling about?” Clarissa asked noticing the smug look on Kelanie’s face. “Nothing to worry your head about,” Kelanie replied, waving her hand dismissively.Clarissa squinted her eyes at Kelanie, she knew she was up to something, but she couldn’t quite place her fingers on it. Clarissa excused herself, walking into her room, “she needed to teach Kelanie a lesson before she thought herself to be higher than her,” she thought opening the safe in her room. She hadn’t imagined using this information just yet, but desperate times called for desperate measures. Clarissa sent the pictures to melody, knowing that in the next hour the story would make headline on every news channel. Kelanie’s
“The blood has just been run through the lab and I must say, it matches that of Miss Peggy Kane,” the detective said. Angelica gasped, her face in horror as the words finally sunk in. “But, we can’t seem to find the body,” the detective added. Xavier paced around the office, “how is that possible, she couldn’t be possibly murdered at the hospital,”The detective sighed, “Mr Xavier, criminals especially killers have the most twisted minds, a location has no bother to the case of killing,” “The case has become an active investigation and has been kept private from journalist,” the detective warned. “We understand the discretion,” xabie said. “if her body isn’t found, what should we be expecting? Angelica asked. “we really can’t say, but my men are in this,” the detective said. Xavier nodded, “thank you detective, please keep us posted,” he said, leading a sobbing Angelica out of the office. “I’m going to kill Clarissa,” Angelica growled, her fist pounding the dashboard. “I’m g
“It shouldn’t have been that easy,” Kelanie thought to herself, laughing as she closed the car door behind her. “Oh, Xavier I’m sorry for everything I had put you through over the three years of our marriage,” she mimicked, laughing at the little act she had performed. Kelanie couldn’t stop laughing at how easy it was to play the victim card, she could still remember how devastated Angelica looked when she mentioned the safety of her child. The drive home was slow, Kelanie knew she was playing a dangerous game, but with the evidence they had against Clarissa, nothing was going to keep her from going to prison. Kelanie quickly called melody, they might not like each other but Kelanie knew melody was a useful tool in her plan. “Hi Melody,” she said in a calm voice. “Kelanie, hi, it’s been a minute,” melody responded smiling into the call. Whatever reason Kelanie was calling her for, melody knew it was going to be good. “I just heard something, but I don’t think it is true,” Kel
The cell gate clanked shut, Clarissa sat frozen in the corner. She couldn’t believe how they had treated her like a common criminal, her face twist in a scowl. Xavier and Angelica were invited to the police station to give their statement. “I had suspected a fowl play, so I had lied about Peggy Kane being with a huge some of money, and that led us to finding her involvement in her death,” Xavier said. The police chiefs and the detective had a proud smile on their faces, “smart thinking Mr Xavier,” the police chief praised, shaking Xavier’s hand. “can we see her before we leave?” Angelica asked. “Sure, we will have her in the interrogation room,” the detective said, leading Xavier and Angelica out of the office. Clarissa raised her head as the door opened, “have you come to gloat?” she hissed. “How could you do this to Peggy?” Angelica said in a low voice. Clarissa laughed, “what exactly do you think I did?” she asked, raising her eyebrows at them. “the gig is up, we have eve
“What?” Xavier and Angelica shouted at the same time. “Peggy Kane is alive,” Amy repeated, showing them a video of Peggy in her house receiving treatment.“Come inside,” Xavier said, ushering her into his office and locking the door behind them.“Where is she? Why didn’t you report to the police?” Angelica rambled out the questions.Amy explained everything, starting from when she had gone out of the hospital for a smile break, to when she had found the strange man strangling Peggy before hurting her head.“take us to her,” Angelica said, rushing towards the door.Kelanie was almost knocked down by Angelica who was in a rush.“Sorry,” Angelica shouted.Kelanie barely said a word as she noticed the nurse from the hospital, running behind her.“Xavier?” Kelanie said, trying to gain his attention.“Not now, I have somewhere to be,” Xavier snapped, rushing to catch up with them.Kelanie paused, something wasn’t right. Seeing the nurse meant they might uncover more than she was willing to
How do you know a sign of a bad day? Kelanie wasn’t much of a superstitious person, but she paid attention long enough to know when things were seemingly out of the ordinary. This was the third time she was hitting her toe on things. “Damn it,” Kelanie hiss, sitting on the kitchen stool, nursing the toe she had just hit. Kelanie felt her heart drop, a sense of sudden fear engulfed her, and she looked around worried, trying to understand what was happening. Kelanie’s eyes widened, her face pale in horror, she couldn’t believe her eyes, “Peggy?” she whispered in disbelief. Kelanie blinked, jumping from her chair in fright, “Peggy!!” she shrieked, putting as much distance as she could between her and Peggy. “Sorry miss, but Miss Peggy has no recollection of who you are,” Amy said, standing protectively in front of Peggy. “Oh,” Kelanie mumbled, rushing out of the kitchen to her room. “Alex! Alex!” she hissed, shaking him awake. “what! What?” Alex grumbled, turning to face her.
