"Thank you for availing yourself. I will make it quick."
"You better.""Miss Helen Mathe, where were you on the night Darian was killed?" Helen swallowed and shifted for comfort before finding Dylan's eyes. At that point she had mixed feelings, they had come too quick and she hadn't made up her mind as yet"Don't tell Helen. Don't say anything." she could still hear the last statement Raymond had said to her before the police had taken her. She had expected her father to appear at the scene but like always, he stayed huddled up in his soundproof study"I do not know what you are talking about." she found herself lying while staring back into his eyes. Although it was last minute, she just had to gear up her acting boots"Helen, you do know that if we found out you lied to cover a crime it will backfire right? Not even your father can save you.""I do not know what you are talking about detective. You have"What the hell?!Get up from there?!" said an irritated Prim as she harshly grabbed Helen's wrist and pulled her out of the room throwing her over to Raymond who held her before falling"I have worked for your family almost all my life. And I will not have Richard all over my business when he hears i let you throw yourself into a prison cell! Do you even know what you have done!" she whispered yet her whispers came out sounding like muffed screams"What did she do?" asked Raymond looking over at a worried Joshua then back at Primrose"She just proved to them she knows something. And i am afraid she has given them enough reason to monitor her every move. She told them she knows.""What?!" exclaimed the two gentlemen all at once their gazes tearing from Prim to Helen"Do you want me to go to prison that bad?" asked Joshua his eyes full of contempt making Helen shudder"You know what, lets get out of here and
"What do you want?" Raymond hissed as soon as they got out"You are not taking my calls. Julia was complaining about the same you guys should talk.""Talk about what? She kissed my best friend and that best friend kissed her back! You know i feel like rushing back in there because i don't have anything to say to you i thought we were brothers!""Nothing is going on between Julia and i trust me please. It was one silly mistake it never happened ever again i swear!""Did you sleep with her?""What?! No! Raymond we have come a long way i am what i am partly because of you and i will never sleep with your woman." he said looking straight at him yet he avoided his gaze. He had meant to tell him that Julia was Melissa but at that point it was likely to ruin their friendship. He knew Raymond loved Julia and he too was trying so hard not to catch feelings, Raymond was more than a friend he had become his only family.
After a brief meeting with his boss, Timothy was glad to finally breath freely as he exited the room. The spared a few glances for the two guards by the door hoping they didn't notice his nervousness before disappearing down the corridor. Ever since he found out about the pregnancy he had been very uncomfortable with talking to Richard be it on call or even worse in person. He had worked for Richard for as long as he could remember, and the man never hesitated to kill whoever was in his way. He was even planning on assassinating the president so what more him! Knocking softly on Helen's door he got no response then proceeded to enter before an wandering eye caught up with him. The house was infested with over thirty guards, and he had made it a point to be on lookout whenever he entered Helen's room."What are you doing in my room!" she snapped the moment she got out of the bathroom in nothing but a white towel wrapped around her. Her pregnancy was beginning to show, an
"Lets elope." said Timothy as they lay on the bed with Helen resting her head on his chest. She opened her eyes and blinked twice before asking him to repeat what he had said"I said lets elope. You and i were made for each other Helen let's elope and go live freely and happy. With our child.""Shut up!" she snapped getting up to sit, "The fact that i just opened my legs for you doesn't mean i want to be with you. This is a once off Timothy...like always.""Helen listen...""No you listen. You are going to get out of my bed get dressed leave my room and never come back again. Go!" Timothy lingered for a bit before slowly getting out of the bed. In a just a black boxer, he picked up his clothes and headed to the bathroom leaving Helen to wonder if she had made a mistake again. She didn't see herself being with Timothy it was Joshua she wanted. How she wished he wanted her too but no, it just had to be Timothy! She had been playing c
Julia gladly got into the car after being offered a driver to take her home. It had been a dramatic dinner but not too bad because the president's wife and daughter disappeared and never came back. The car slid smoothly down the highway as she was being driven home but before she knew it sleep began to catch up with her only to be disrupted by a phone call. She took it out thinking it was Joshua but to her surprise it wasn't him, it was Raymond"Raymond...hie." she stuttered. The last time she has seen him was when he came with a pregnant Helen. He had ignored both her calls and texts ever since the kissing incident at the club"Hey...i uhm...do you mind meeting up for lunch tomorrow? Just wanna talk.""No no i..i don't mind. Text me time and place i will be there."Cool." With that the call was cut leaving her to deal with her nerves. She had gotten herself into that mess in the first place and on the positive side she hoped Raymo
"Who are you?" whispered Julia in the calmest voice she could muster. She was not going to give a fearful impression just because she had no much weapons. It was dark already and that made her glad that he wouldn't see she was female, all she had to do was to dodge the car flash lights coming in opposite directions by the road not too far from them. As she was still thinking Joshua quickly kicked one of her hands leading to one gun falling to the ground but she had no time to mule over that as she pointed the other gun straight to his head"Checkmate." he let out a husky voice"What do you want from me?""Your life." he gave the responce she had expected. But she was not ready to die she was going to do whatever it took to survive"So why don't you fight me like a man then. Weapons off.""You must really be taking me for a fool.""No i am not. Here i am m placing mine down look." she said dropping the gun
After struggling to get transport that late night Julia eventually got home. She hurriedly switched on the lights before taking out her purse from the stolen bag. She had hastily ran over the car and retrieved her purse before the police got there and was glad all her belongings were inside and safe. Switching on her phone she gazed around for a sign of Joshua but found non then sighed in relief as she was in no mood to explain herself to anyone. She scrolled through the phone and was surprised to find not a single message or missed call from Joshua. Strange. She then ran up the stairs straight to her spare room where she stacked the stolen bag underneath the bed then threw her tired self onto the bed glad to finally be home and safe.*******With shaky fingers, Helen answered the call just as she locked the door"What is it?" she snapped feeling irrit
As Julia walked into the house, she hoped to bump into Joshua but upon searching all the rooms there was still no Joshua insight. She then went back to her room and called Raymond, worry beginning to creep in"Raymond hey. I wanted to know if you have heard from Joshua i haven't seen him for over 24hours now.""No i haven't heard from him either. I last saw him at the police station and he hasn't responded to any of my messages. Did you ask Ricky? Maybe he has some business at the club.""Send me his number please." she said as she cut the call. Few minutes later Raymond sent the contact but as she dialed it, it went straight to voicemail as well. At that point she was no longer sure of what to think. There was no way Joshua would dissappear for that long and not communicate. She then walked out and into the car then sped straight to club midnight. It was noisy as usual and heavily packed. She squeezed her way past the drunk customers until she
