Phoenix’s POV
When I realized it was now morning, I organized my things. I will go to school today. I did not speak with mom when having breakfast because I still could not believe that Patricia was dead.
I am not going to lie; I am angry at Melody for what she did to her.
When I entered my classroom, I sat on the chair at its last part beside the window and Sage.
I just looked through the window while my other classmates were noisy. A few minutes later, our teacher arrived. Then, he started the class.
I will be honest; I am not in the mood to listen to his lecture right
Sebastian’s POV When break time had arrived, I went to the school garden. Then I sat on the bench. I learned that Patricia died. According to some people, someone killed her because she knew who killed Nate. What happened to her made me think if revealing that Melody helped the person who killed Nate to hide his crime is correct or not. The parents of Patricia and the mother of Phoenix also went to school yesterday. Her dad punched Phoenix because he blamed him for what happened to her. I am not going to lie; I pity Phoenix because her dad blames him for her death.
Phoenix’s POV Sage put the warrant of arrest of Melody back in his pocket. Then, he looked at SPO2 Patrick Smith. “Handcuff her,” Sage ordered him. So, he did what he said. “You have the right to remain silent and get a lawyer who will defend you. Anything you say and will be used against you in the court of law.” He said to Melody, which terrified me. Impossible! He scored against me, and I know he would do anything to force Melody to admit I killed my older brother. It is the end of everything I planned! After SPO2 Patrick Smith handcuffed Melody, he and Sage took her away from the garden. No! It is not yet over! He just scored against me, but he still has not won the fi
Patrick’s POV Sage, the other police officers, and I brought Melody to the hospital. She should not die because she is still young. Also, she is one of the keys to solving Nate’s case. After bringing Melody to the Emergency Room, Sage, other police officers, and I sat on the vacant chairs’ rows outside the room. “Tell the parents of Patricia and Elisa to go here,” Sage ordered me. “Because they must know what we found out.” He added. So, I did what he wanted me to do. I called the father of Patricia. A few seconds later, he answered the phone call. “Hello,” he said to me. “Hello,” I said to him. Sage is right; they need to know the infor
Patrick’s POV Sage and I learned the biological parents of Melody died when she was four years old. A couple who could not have a child adopted Melody. Two days after Melody died, Sage and I decided to bury her because we noticed her adopted parents did not care for her. When I told them Melody died, they did not bother to go to the Philippines. I meant they chose to take care of their business instead of her. Maybe that was the reason why she became a murderer. I hope they did not adopt Melody because they did not love her. Sage and I were in his condo unit. He sat on the sofa while solving a
Phoenix’s POV I smirked while pointing the gun at Sage. Then, I stood up. “You know what? This will not happen if you stopped investigating my older brother’s death!” I angrily said. So, he angrily looked at me. “Tell me, did you kill your brother?” He seriously asked me. So, I sarcastically laughed. “Since you are going to die, I will tell you the truth.” I started to talk. “Yes, I killed him! He deserves to die because he ruined my life! He always hurt me physically. Also, our dad died due to heart attack because he falsely claimed to him and mom I was smoking. Mom blamed me for what happened to him!” I angrily said. Then, I took a deep breath. “I also ordered Melody to take poison when
Phoenix’s POV Sage presented his hand to me, so I could hold it to help me to stand up. When I held his hand, he helped me to stand up. “Tell me, do SPO2 Patrick Smith already know the evidence you have against me?” I asked. So, he shook his head in response. “Not yet, if he knows you are the culprit, he will not hesitate to arrest you.” He said to me. “Do not worry because once he is here, you will go to jail—” he did not manage to continue to speak when we heard a gunshot. After that, he coughed blood, and he collapsed to the floor. When it happened, I saw Sebastian behind him. He is holding a gun right now and pointing at Sage. So, I smirked. I looked at Sage; he was lying on the ground and was weak. At this moment, his blood is co
Phoenix’s POV I looked at the lifeless body of Sage. His blood is coming out from his body right now. Then, I looked back at Sebastian. After that, I gave him his gun. “You must leave. Let me handle this mess.” I ordered him. So, he did what I said. He left me alone with the corpse of Sage in the abandoned building. “I told you before you can never defeat me.” I said to him while smirking. A few seconds later, a car arrived outside of the building. So, I screamed and cried. “Sage! The person who killed you will pay! I promise!” I said while shedding tears. Then, I kneeled. After that, SPO2 Patrick Smith entered the abandoned building. He is carrying a gun right now.
Aira’s POV I opened my eyes when my phone suddenly rang, which meant someone was calling me. Tsk! I am honestly annoyed right now because I suddenly woke up! Even though I was still sleepy, I sat on my bed. Then, I took my phone to the small cabinet. After that, I answered the phone call. “Hello,” I said to the person who was calling me. “Is this Aira Freud?” The man who was calling asked me. Tsk! What is his problem? It is 3:00 a.m. here in the United States of America. “Yes,” I answered him. “Who are you and what do you want from me?” I asked. So, he took a deep breath. “I am SPO2 Patrick Smith, a policeman w
