Aunt Esperanza had left Christa with Korozon and Alexia to accompany me to the station. She got into her car and tailed the van I entered down to the station.They took me to an investigation room and were about to start when my aunt tried to make them see reasons."This is wrong. You shouldn't bring my niece here without solid evidence… I can get you arrested for this… You can't handcuff an innocent woman." Aunt Esperanza lost it. She couldn't take it anymore."Relax madam, it's just an interrogation. And besides, we have solid evidence against her… just allow us to do our job." They said to my aunt and instructed her to leave the room. They had to talk to me in private. She turned to me and I gestured and nodded that everything was going to be fine. As she left, I sat on the normal seat they gave suspects like me, while a medium-sized table was before me.The man stood right in front of me with a serious look on his face. I don't get it. Why was he giving me that look? Do I look li
AngelicaWe organized a little party to celebrate a job well done. Who could have thought that I… Angelica Smith would have the almighty Bella Aldama behind bars?I chuckled as I took a sip of the wine in my hands. We were all seated as the music kept playing and entertaining us."Cheers." Alexia raised her wineglass, and we all did the same. Our faces were filled with smiles. The atmosphere was filled with joy and happiness. Bella thought she would have Reggie all to herself? "Let's give it up for Bruno… That audio was a smooth one. We wouldn't have done this without him." I hugged him slightly with a smile while Alexia and the rest cheered and clapped their hands. It was late, but we still had to dance and celebrate.I have the money, so I can buy anybody's loyalty. "It's nothing, madam, as long as I get paid, then be rest assured I'd be willing to do anything." Alexia heard Bruno's deep and scary voice. She doesn't get it. Why was he always scary at night?Just as she walked ov
ReggieBy the time I got home, it was midnight, Sunday morning. I had been too busy dealing with business matters and different conference meetings.Thanks to the press, they were able to get the mastermind. They were able to get the monster who got my warehouse burnt, making me lose so much. Stone had it under control but I'm yet to know who it was. My business is currently on the verge of losing its most valuable buyers, and not just that, the news has scared off most of our intending buyers.Thanks to a few members and backup from my team, the conference meeting was a success, and the people were able to calm down.I quickly plugged in my phone, which had been dead throughout the meeting. I haven't been able to talk to my wife since this accident. I had expected her to show up as she promised, but I never saw her. And when I tried to call her, my battery died.I need to see her. I miss her so much. She must have been worried about me. I saw the look on her face when she heard abou
BellaThe word 'Detained' was boldly written at the back of the top I had on. Just like other inmates, I slept on the cold floor. I wore a skinny jeans and sat with my messy hair. Christa and Reggie were all I could think of all night, as the mosquitos in this cell were more than all of us combine. I could barely close my eyes. I had no blanket whatsoever. My stomach rumbled, as I hadn't had anything to eat.They treated us like prisoners. Yeah, you heard right… I'm not a prisoner. I have no idea how I freaking got here.It's been a day since I got here and I haven't heard anything from Reggie. Did he think I had a hand in it? Does he think I'd be capable of ruining his business?I sat on the bare floor as I wiped the uncontrollable tears that rolled down my cheeks. I only had one suspect. Only one person would wanna do this to me! It's Angelica. I'm not sure neither do I know how she did it, but I know it has to be that witch.Just as I sat facing the gate to our cell. I heard a lad
AlexiaOn getting into my room, I saw Aunt Esperanza going through my stuff. Wait what? What does this old hag want again?"You don't get tired, huh?" I crossed my arms as I stood watching her from the entrance. She didn't even look scared.She had been too nosy these days. Whenever I go out? I sense I am being followed. I had been extra careful since Bella got jailed. It was as if I was her number one suspect.When delivering money to Marcus and Thomas, I had to wear a different hair, or a nose mask to hide my identity or she may just report me to the police or something. What if she finds out about the warehouse or what's worse? She gets to know I had a hand in the reason her niece was in jail."Just back off already. You can't find anything here… if you're looking for a suspect, why don't you just turn yourself in? I mean, you look like a criminal, anyway." I said with my head up high, but it went low the moment she forgot her hands on my face.What the fuck is wrong with this witch
The moment she got to the gate, Marcus was fast enough to grab her by her hair.She tried to scream, but he pulled her into his arms and covered her mouth while she struggled to free herself.I ran downstairs with Angelica and the rest at my back. Marcus held her still while she gave me the most dangerous stare.She bit Marcus's hand so, she could speak. Marcus groaned in pain but allowed the old woman talk. "You monster! Tell me, how long have you been working with the enemy?" She yelled but didn't get a response. "Have always known you were a heartless being… I have always known you had a hand in my niece's case, one way or the other....""Shut up!" I didn't let her finish. It was obvious she heard everything. I was scared but I tried not to show it. Angelica walked over to where she was and felt irritated immediately. She figured Bella's aunt heard too much.Just as Angelica was about to talk, Bella's aunt removed herself from Marcus’ grip and tried to escape. Yeah, she might have
Bella I shook the lawyer Reggie brought to handle my case as he wasn't just good; he was far better than Mr. Anthony.He walked out, and I turned to give Reggie a hug. Five days in that hell wasn't a joke.Though it wasn't an easy task, as Angelica made sure I spent more days, Reggie was convinced and had to take this case down. It was his company and his goods so, no one had the right to send his wife to prison… He got Stone to work on the case and made sure I was released.I turned and hugged Reggie real good before going into his car. I had to go home, and I had to change into some decent clothes. I heard Don would be back in a few days and I was having a bad feeling about it.Reggie didn't let go of my hands as we sat in the back seat while his driver took us to his house. I felt at peace with this soul and I don't know why.We got back and Christa was already waiting for us at home. Reggie had made sure she was with Korozon at his place inside of my place.It was still early so,
