“What?! Reese is in j-jail?!” Sherly gasped when she heard from the maid, Cris, about what happened to his accomplice that she sent in the Wyatt mansion. With soggy eyes, Cris nodded her head. She only heard this from her close friend, Marie, who was the victim of the incident. When Cris heard that it was Reese who pushed Marie on the stairway, which might take Marie’s life, she was so damn mad. She realized that Marie was right all along when she said that Reese only pretends to be kind. But when Sherly heard this, she never felt worried for Marie. The first thing that came into her mind is that Reese might tell everything to the police. “Alright. Go now,” Sherly said to Cris as she asked her to get out of her room. Cris left. Now alone, Sherly stood and walked around her room with anxiety. “What if Reese tells the police about the poison incident at the party?” Sherly asked herself. If Reese was found guilty, then there’s a possibility that she would surrender all information
24 hours ago… Inside an office, Zion told Cassius everything that he saw in his dream about the future. Zion said that his mom bought poison. And since the chairman died of poison, he concluded that Sherly was the murderer.The only problem was that Zion could not remember all the details. He only saw some that could pinpoint Sherly as the killer. Then, the chairman died, and Zion let Harriet go to jail. How Harriet died and what happened after that, Zion could not remember.“So, as of now, the killer is Sherly,” Cassius said while nodding his head.When Cassius realized how casually he called Zion’s mother as a murderer, he looked at his cousin. However, Zion does not display any sadness over the fact that it was his mother. He acted as if he’s accusing someone who wasn’t a family member.Well, Zion was never fond of his family from the beginning. He considered himself an outsider from Finn and Sherly’s blood.“Zion,” Cassius called him.Zion, who was looking at the blank space for
Harriet’s POV Ian Jack, 1.5%. Samuel Smith, 1.2%. Peter San, 1.1%. Lanora Alcott 1%. There are the four shareholders who have the highest shares among the other shareholders in the Fantell group. Among them, one was a corrupt director who used stolen funds for his own benefits. It was Finn who caught him, and in the end, Finn received that person’s shares. So, before Finn caught the thief in the Fantell group, I had to deal with him and get his shares. “It was Ian Jack,” I said to Cassius. Late at night, Cassius and I are here inside his condominium. We are talking about our plans on how I’ll get shares in the Fantell. In front of us, there is a white board where Cassius wrote down the information we have as of now. The main suspect is Sherly. Second, Finn. Reese was on jail, and she has two days to decide whether she’ll tell me the truth or not. Then, we have four acquaintances, Sorren (the victim), Elona, my father Astell and last… My eyes shook a bit when I saw Zion’s na
Madell stayed in her room all day. She kept sitting on her bed while thinking of the things that she heard from her parents.‘My father killed a person.’ ‘My father killed a person.’ ‘My father killed a person.’ ‘My father k…’ She repeated the same words all over again. Until the idea was processed and rooted in her heart.They said an apple came from its tree. But sometimes, it is not only based on genes, but how the surroundings affect someone’s mind. In Madell’s case, it will be hard to show her what’s right and what’s wrong, especially when she’s a slave of n*rcotics.Slowly, Madell shoved her hand inside her pocket. She got the poison that she took from her mother’s room.Reese said that if Madell opened the drawer in Sherly’s room, then she would see a poison in a bottle. It’s a lethal poison that can kill a person without showing symptoms. It has no smell, no taste, and no color.[‘I will use that to kill Harriet,’] Reese said to Madell.Madell had no idea how Reese knows
Finn does not want to believe what Sherly said. He cannot fathom to believe that Diana did not leave him, but instead, she died.And who killed her?Him?No way.He loves her so much that even if long years passed by, it was always her.However, after Sherly told him the truth, Finn saw the illusion in his hands, which he believed made the crime that he had long forgotten.‘It was you who killed her, Finn.’ “No! It wasn’t me! I didn’t kill Diana!”‘Then how will you explain the blood in your hands? Did you really forget what you did that night?’ “I don’t know! I said I forgot it! Stop bugging me!”‘Alright. Let’s say it wasn’t really you. It’s me, the person who always saved you.’ “Just who are you? Get out of my head!”As Finn shouted loudly inside his car, the voice inside his head stopped. Catching his breath, he looked around. He didn’t notice that he already arrived in front of Elona’s condominium building.“T-That’s right. Maybe, I am just stressed,” Finn said with bullets of
Cris visited Marie for the first time after Marie recovered from her injuries. The two of them cried a lot while hugging, and the flower that Cris brought almost crashed. When they finished crying, they laughed at each other. “Thank you for the flower, Cris.” “I wanted to get your favorite flower, Lisianthus. But it was so expensive. So, I only bought Lily instead.” Marie looked at the bouquet of Lilies in her hands. Then, she smiled. “Maybe I really have an expensive taste. It sucks that I wasn’t born rich.” “Then, I will pray that you'll be born rich next time.” Marie stared at her friend who has soggy eyes. She could really tell that Cris got worried about her. “But not now. You should not die.” With tears, Marie laughed. “I won’t. They said bad grass doesn't die easily.” “You are bad grass? Are you still blaming yourself for bullying Miss Harriet? You had no choice. You need money for your young brother.” “That’s what I thought too. That I am innocent. But you know, when
‘I didn’t imagine that I will be here.’ I couldn’t believe that I, who had never stolen a dollar from someone else’s pocket in my past life, came to a racetrack like this. It is a place for villainess.Entering the racetrack with Zion, I tried to calm my thumping heart down in front of a dreary racetrack. It was usual to see heavy gambles among the crowds as everyone wanted to win and bet their last to survive or just to have fun.With ticket on my hand, I looked around.‘It’s crowded.’ “Harriet.”I looked at Zion who called me in the middle of the noisy stadium.“Don’t walk carelessly. You almost lost your way before.”Zion was right. Finding the racetrack where Ian Jack always goes to, was very difficult. But thanks to Zion skills in getting information, we found it. To get here, we entered a basement of a large pottery shop, then we went to the back alleys with many people that follow along deep passages leading to the racetrack.I almost lost because of the crowds. Zion barely g
So far, everything became peaceful after Reese went to prison. There will be a trial next week, I had to make sure to attend that and see her behind bars for real.On the other side, Cris reported that Madell wasn’t moving yet. Then, Sherly was staying home.However, Finn was so mad when he heard that Ian Jack lost the 1.5% shares in Fantell. He was aiming for that share just like the original future, and was taken aback that I got it instead.Either way, on a peaceful day such as today, I, Cassius, father and the Chairman met in a restaurant to celebrate my success in getting the shares.“For Nadia’s first share in Fantell,” Grandpa Sorren said while raising his juices.The four of us raised our glasses and said, “Cheers!”We took a sip on our beverages. And when glasses were down, we all smiled at each other. However, the smile on my lips disappeared when I saw the empty seat beside Cassius.We surely invited Zion to come. As he was part of this too. But Zion said that he is busy, a
