THE TRUTH

...ROBERT...

Rita and I had managed to make some hot soup, I enjoyed the little girl's company as she was funny and adorable,

We took the soup to Sally and Rita helped her eat, I was watching the two siblings barter each other when my phone suddenly rang, I reached for it and saw that it was Melissa calling, I quickly excused myself and left the room.

In the hallway, i answered the call

"Honey" I said

"Where are you?" Melissa asked, I immediately knew from her voice that something was wrong

"What happened?" I questioned

"Where are you?" Melissa asked yet again

"Come to the apartment" immediately she said that, the call went dead, I was left staring at my phone for a few seconds wondering what could have happened,

I went to my room, grabbed my car keys and headed off to Melissa's apartment.

I found her in the living room staring at the switched off Television

"Honey" I went to her side holding her hands in mine

The night was the most difficult part of my day, with nothing to do, my thoughts would be filled with her and the guilt was just too much, I now understood why Sally said she blamed herself after losing her parents, it was easier to blame and hate yourself than accepting that there was no way I would have known. I sat up in bed unable to sleep, after a few seconds, I decided to go and check on Sally, it had rather become a habit, I would go there every night to check up on her just to make sure my baby was okay. The baby she was carrying was the only thing that gave me the zeal to go on, knowing I would be a Dad and would have some

The poison I had put in Sally's food wasn't that dangerous, I wasn't planing on killing her just yet, something about that woman had fascinated me, maybe it was because of how innocent she looked or perhaps I felt sorry for her because I knew how it felt to be caught up in this family, whatever it was, she was lucky because I was interested in her.I was disturbed when I heard a knock on the door, I stood up wondering who would come to my room at this time of the night. When I opened the door, Grace entered my room and closed the door behind surprising me,"What are you doing here?"

I hated Lucas, wished the worst for him because of everything he had done but I didnt want him gone like this,Maybe in prison yes but not really die and disappear from the face of the earth, at one point, I did like him very much and considered him my friend

To think neither Robert and I had expected Lucas's comeback to be this way only showed how much we underestimated him and his obsession for me,“You can't be happy, at least not without me, Am the only one who can make you happy Sally. You always complained about how much you hated Robert’s character, so I did you a favor, here is Robert's face that you are so much in love with and my character which i know you like” I shook my head as tears made their way on my face“I love Robert” I whispered but Lucas heard me and his facial expression changed“Don't make me angry Sally, you have no idea what I went through for you, the least you can do is be happy and thankful, now drive” he said,I started the car wondering how I could inform Robert or the police of the current situa

The door finally opened, I wish it was some sort of miracle and Robert would be the one to walk in with The police but unfortunately for me,It was Lucas with a bottle of water,“Am sorry I had taken long” he said locking the door, he opened the bottle of water for me and brought it to my lips,“Drink” surely he wouldn't put any drugs in the water and even though he did, I didn't carry about It as i was too thirsty, I took the water until the bottle was halfway, then I began to feel hungry,“Did you come with any food?” I asked,“I just found out am the most wanted person dead or alive with a huge su
