Another day, Mrs Daves and her assistant; the police officer went to the Withney's place according to the directions the company has given them. Luckily for them Mrs Withney was around, so she generously let them in without knowing who they were yet. This time, her husband, Mr Withney was not at home. Monica was at home too, she was just planning to go to The Benson's place, thinking Mrs Benson will support her as usual and she might still get a chance from Peter if she disturbs the hell outta him. "Please have a seat" Mrs Withney offered them after they had entered. "Mommy, who are they?" Monica asked her mom.. bossy and rudely. "Who are you?" Mrs Withney turned to the unknown visitors. The cop brought out his card then he introduced himself, "I'm a retired police officer but being retired doesn't mean I have no right to investigate cases or interrogate people." He said. "Excuse me!" Monica remarked. "So what's a police officer doing here? I guess you ar

"His transfers, position and promotion was given to you. Mrs Withney, are you sure that you are not involved in his death?" The man asked in an authoritative tone and he looked really serious. "What??" Monica and her mom exclaimed at the same time. "How dare you?!" Monica yelled at the policeman."Are these your reasons why you think I must have killed that poor innocent man?" Mrs Withney asked the policeman. "Maybe. Maybe it was someone you know, maybe it was your husband or maybe it was even you" The cop answered her. "Are you trying to accuse me right now Mr policeman?" Monica's mom asked. " It's not an accusation " Bella's mom muttered. "Okay. I didn't kill the man" Mrs Withney said directly. "Monica" Monica was shocked that the policeman called her name. "Your name is Monica right?" "Why? So you could formulate rubbish and say I killed a man I don't even know?" She ran her mouth."No, so you could tell me what you think or what you suspect rather? Ha

Monica's POV "Mom! What did you just do? What did you just say to the policeman?!" Monica furiously yelled at her mother immediately after Bella's mom and the policeman were out of their house and sights. "I didn't do anything wrong Monica. So why are you making a fuss about it?" Her mother replied sharply. "I see you haven't realized the effort of what you have just done. You just accused Mr Benson for what he didn't do" I told her. Since she acted like she didn't understand what I was trying to say. "No I didn't. You are getting me all wrong Monica. I only gave them my opinion, I didn't directly point fingers at them" My mom said. "You did, I tried to stop you but you went ahead and mentioned his name. Mr Benson. That innocent man. Now they will go to his place again to arrest him. Oh jeeezz geez mom!" I screamed frustratedly. I thought she was on my side for Peter to be mine, why this then? "Whatever. One thing I believe is that if he eventually turns out in

He saw his wife downcast after Monica has hurt her with those rubbish words, then left. "Laura" Mr Benson called his wife by her maiden name.Mrs Benson was shocked to see her husband behind her, she trembled a little and fought back the tears from flowing down her cheeks. "Did- did you hear what Monica just said? Have you - you been standing there for long?" She asked her husband. "Yeah" He nodded truthfully. "I'm sorry. All what she said now is not true. I swear. I don't know why she made up those words or who must have told her such. I never cheated on you!" Mrs Benson rushed all her words. "I know right. I know. It's definitely not true. Although I have heard of such rumour, this isn't the first time.. You liked him, didn't you?" Yet, her husband quaried. She was shocked and she di

Peter's POV Sincerely, I don't like what's happening to us. I've always heard that lovers go through think and tough. Perhaps, this is the definition of the thick and tough they usually talk about. If it, please let this pass by quickly. I really can't bear it anymore. I know that she didn't mean every word that came out of her mouth. It will even get her hurt than I am. I don't like the fact that she's always doing this. Now for a tangible reason. I'm afraid of the suitation on ground and at the same, I'm not. I'm not afraid because Mom already confided in me that they are innocent and I'm only afraid that we are still under the police suspect list. What if later, they find something which is not true and then it bounce back at us. Then it'll become the true end of Bella and I. It won't. I hope things will work out smoothly. But then, Since she asked for that silent treatment, although it's hard for me, but I'm gonna give it to her. Afterall, mom has told me to give h

Mrs Benson, her husband and Peter was in the living room when I joined them. Actually, I heard when Mrs Benson had also forced Peter to leave his room before she came to call me out. The television was switched on, they were seeing a movie, I wasn't interested though yet I stayed in the living room with them, stared at the TV where as, my mind was far far away. Through, the corner of my eyes, I could see Peter staring at me. We have not communicated ever since that day I warned him not to. It's sad but better. He barely took his eyes off me but I didn't turn at all to gaze at him too. Through the corner of my eyes, he won't know I could see him. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. "I'll get that" I told them, then stood up and moved towards the door. I opened the door.

"Okay, I'm sorry for the false accusation. You are not under arrest. I'm sorry for saying that earlier" The policeman apologised. "Are we off your suspect list now?" Peter asked. "Hmmn. I can't really say" The police stammered a little. "Yes, you are. You are off the suspect list now. We literally only came here to give report about what your so called bossom friend, Withney had said about you" My mom replied. "Yeah. Now I just came up with a suggestion on how to catch the killer" The policeman announced. "What is it?" Mrs Benson asked. "Sorry, I can't disclose it. But I'll try my best to get back to you later. Thank you" He said. "We should leave now Mrs Benson" He said then worked before her. She went after him. * * * "What's your new suggestion?" Mrs Daves asked when they returned to the car. "Where exactly did your husband die?" The policeman asked her. "The Bridge towards Cenway" she replied, looking at his face. "Let's go check

Delivery men came knocking on my doors, passing presents sent to me because I already told everyone that they don't have to come over here.

Bella's POVI'm not a night owl, the last time I stayed awake in the middle of the night was during the examination season. But this time around, I was only busy with my boyfriend and I was planning to have a french kiss with him. I returned to my room. My heart was still beating really fast, I touched my cheeks, I could feel it reddened and hot. I tossed on my bed as I began to recall the whole scenero, I didn't know that it'll make me so nervous. His simple touch, made it look like we were in a romance mood. I kinda love that feeling though. Somehow, I wish we completed what we've started even if it's just the french kiss and intimate cuddle and maybe the romance. I picked up my phone, hissing at it because it ruined that mood. I've forgotten that I was the one who set the alarm. I smirked and unlocked my phone. I noticed that I have a message. Haven opened it, I found out that it was from my mom. ~'Flora is here. Come say Hi to her tomorrow' It reads. Huh

Peter's POV Then I sighted Vincent, standing at the entrance and watching us from there. "Vincent" I muttered. "Where is he?" They all turned to look at him. And then, he started walking towards us. My heart was racing a little, I was afraid that Vincent might ruin this special day maybe that's why he agreed to come here even when we aren't in good terms. "Hi guys" He said to all of us when he came closer. "Hello, Hi Vincent" We responded back. He smiled widely instead.. "Happy birthday in advance Peter" Vincent stretched his hands towards me for an handshake. I hesitated a little before recieving it. He had an handshake with the rest before he took his seat, beside me on my other side. "As... err.. as I was saying before you came in, order whatever you want.

Talk of the devil, we heard a knock on the door and the visitor announced that he was the delivery Man. "Go get it. The order isn't for me. " I gestured to Bella. "I didn't place any order too. Probably your parents" She replied. "No, they didn't" I smiled. "Just go get it" I told her. She looked at me suspiciously as she walked to the door to meet the delivery Man. I came closer to watch the scenero. "Hello, I think you've got the wrong address" Bella said to the delivery Man and I chuckled inaudibly. "No. I'm at the right place.

I touched my cheeks as I could feel it hot and red. Peter was smiling widely too. I wanted him to speak first but right now, I was so shy. Then He coughed in an awkward way then finally said something; "I miss you Bella" "Me too. I miss you" I replied. "Well... obviously. We went through alot. So we didn't have time for us" He said,holding my hand and intertwining it with his. "I'm sorry..." I wanted to apologise again but he interrupted me by placing his finger on my lips and I smiled.

Bella's POV "Peter" I called his name after he has taken some steps away. He stopped walking but he didn't say anything. He didn't even turn to look at me. I didn't know where to begin, so I kept mute. He wanted to leave again, so I began to spew out my heart. "Peter I'm sorry. Stop avoiding me and talk to me!" I said and began to cry but he scoffed like he didn't care. "Peter!" I screamed his name. That was when he turned to look at me. "Is it high time we communicate now? No, I don't think so" He smirked.

"What is it Bella?" He asked. "Are you mad at me? Why?" I mumbled. He sighed heavily. "Yes, I am mad at you. I'm super mad at you.

She started with apologising to the people she has offended, most especially Mrs Benson. Not only does she wanna apologise, she also wanna stay alone in her own lane. She doesn't wanna associate with anyone thereafter. She took a deep breathe in, let them all out before summoning up the courage to knock on the door. Since she didn't get a response at the first knock, she hesitated to knock again. She wanted to leave, she thought they'll resent her but Bella opened the door just when she turned to leave. "Ah...
