“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.
Clarissa was done playing the waiting game, Kelanie had avoided her long enough. “We need to talk,” Clarissa barged into the room startling Kelanie. “Clarissa, I would have been naked,” Kelanie shouted, pulling the blanket tighter around her body. Clarissa rolled her eyes, “huh, I’ve seen better,” she jeered. Clarissa sat by the vanity chair, the scowl on her face permanent, and her eyes looking around the well furnished room they had provided for Kelanie. “I see you have settled in nicely,” she taunted. Kelanie bit her lips, she thought that maybe if she would ignore Clarissa long enough she would get tired and leave her alone. “But you know the funny thing?” Clarissa asked, her eyes staring deeply at Kelanie. “no matter how much money you think you might have, it doesn’t change the fact that you smell like cheap trash, tossed around by men for cheap pleasure,” Clarissa sneered. Kelanie wouldn’t admit it but each word. Clarissa said, it felt like a dagger was slicing through
“How could you do that?” Alex yelled at his mother. “You knew she was pregnant and still attacked her,” he screamed at the top of his voice. Clarissa sat quietly on the bed, watching her son rant. She waited patiently for when she would drop the bomb on the atrocities Kelanie had been done. “Alex” Clarissa said in a calm tone. Alex paused, waiting to hear what his mother had to say, “what mom, what?” He shouted throwing his hands in the air. Clarissa released a long sigh, Alex was being difficult, and it was getting on her nerves. “You will not raise your voice at me,” Clarissa shouted.“I am your mother and I deserve some respect,” she yelled.“that girl is a snake, she has been nothing nut a parasite who has been leeching off this family,” Clarissa said.“I was only giving her what she deserved,” Alex scoffed, looking at his mother in surprise, “almost killing my child, your grandbaby is the best way to teach het what she deserves?” he said.Clarissa shook her head, “no, tha
Kelanie sat quietly, listening to Alex as he talked about everything he had discovered. “I can’t believe she would do this,” Alex shrieked, looking angry at the thought. Kelanie had kept her face neutral, void of every emotion. She was still trying to process how easy it had been to turn everything around on Clarissa. Kelanie had been very careful in planting the seed of distrust in Alex’s mind. Kelanie didn’t have to take all of the praise, when Clarissa had In fact made the work very easy by attacking her. Kelanie smirked, with Clarissa out of the way she knew it would be easy to take control of everything. “I am always here for you Alex, you have your family now,” Kelanie said, pulling his hand and placing it on her stomach. Alex nodded, he was done allowing his mother destroy the family he had. Kelanie kissed him, sealing her promise, it wasn’t hard to break Alex, his constant need to be seen made it easy. Clarissa paced around the house, her mind troubled about how quickl
