In no time she washed the little girl clean and tuck her in bed singing her to sleep ,when she fell asleep Samantha left to go and have a word with Asa at the park .She opened the refrigerator taking two cans of chilled cola , she grabbed an umbrella also since it seemed as if it was about to rain before leaving for the park not too far from their home .It was a ten minutes walk to the park , She sighted Asa sitting on the swing with a random guy , she seemed to be flirting with him as he kissed her while she blushed like a teenager in love .This was one of the many things Samantha disliked about her , Asa was more than a flirt and no guy was ever enough for her . Even if she was in a serious relationship with Mark Zuckerberg she would flirt with Elon musk and Sir Bernard .“ Asa ! ” Samantha called waving at her from a distance , Asa dismiss

She had flown into New York City last night with the guy she met at the park

I heard her speaking to her mom also ” she replies“ Speaking to her mom ? ” Detective Kennedy asked raising a brow “ Vanessa did speak to this jewelry box every time , she said it is a means to communicate to her mother ” She responded “ She did that when she was down or wanted to pour out her feelings, she also had a diary ” Violet disseminated the information she knew “ A diary ? ” “ Yes , everyday she wrote in the mornings before coming for breakfast ” “ I see ” “ Is there anything else you know aside these which you have said ? ” Detective Kennedy inquired “ Yes , Vanessa and her stepmom always had clashes , seemingly like a Cold war between them ” Violet explained as

Everything seemed like a dream to him few months ago he was hale and hearty with a cocky wife now he was sick husband who would die soon leaving his beautiful wife behind .He sighed softly as he recollect what happened earlier at his office , Asa could do anything to get what she wanted even if it mean endangering one's life she will do it and grab what she wanted .He knew she wants him back into her life, every single feeling died the day she was intimate with Charlie his cousin in his bed . “ Sir shall we ? ” Rico asked seeing his boss lost in thought for a while“ Yes we shall ” Ryan answered as he settled into the passenger's seat while Rico zoomed off for his home . * The next day ** The Brooke's Villa * Mr Brookes closed his closet satisfied on how he looked, he was putting on a black pants , black cotton shirt and black long coat styled with furs on some edge .He wore a black slight
“ Fuck Emilia ! ” Sloan cursed as she flings the bowl of popcorn off her lap furiously . Mr Brookes simply walked out on her without mincing her a word , he knew Sloan will never go with him , every year of remembrance she did bring a lot of tantrums in order for them not to go .Vanessa always leave him going before them anytime Sloan started that irritating act of hers , picking up his cellphone inside the coat he dialed Nessa's contact which she picked at a ring “ Hello Dad ” Violet's voice boomed from the other side of the phone“ Are you busy right now ? ” he asked “ No I am not ” she responded “ I should have told you earlier , today is Emilia's remembrance and I am going to the grave yard ” Mr Brookes stated as he spoke softly heaving a sigh on each w in aword he made “ am I to follow you to the grave yard ? ” Violet asked as she swallowed dreading his answer would be a yes .

After a two hour drive to ‘ Tranquil Haven ’ they arrived the grave yard , Ryan got flowers from the florists on their way to the place .Tranquil Haven was not the normal kind of a commoner's grave yard which was sometimes poorly kept or totally unkept .The flowers which was planted by the side if the wall was neatly trimmed in a basque looking flower vase around the wall . It provided a rich fragrance in the air and it was certain an experienced gardener tends to the flower daily per chance , trying her best not to look lost and mesmerized staring at the whole environment , she took a quick glance at her phone , it was a text from Mr Brookes .“ Right in front of you just come straight no turns . ” the text read , she was glad at least she did not have to start looking for him or where her mother was buried . Ryan held her hand and together they walked to meet Mr Brookes whom was sighted afar.“ Dad ” Violet cried out loud on reaching Mr Brookes , he held her gently by the waist
“ Nessa ! ” Ryan yelled as he rushed to her . She fell into his arms her right shoulder was bleeding profusely . He looked at Sloan suspiciously before lifting her off the ground walking to the car swiftly .“ Saint Pete's Hospital Rico ” Ryan said to his driver on getting to the car , he opened the door hastily holding his wife like she would disappear any moment from there . Rico took the shortest route to the specialist hospital , increasing the rate at which he drove according to his boss's command . His heart palpitated each time he stepped on the accelerator pedal . he finally reached his destination quickly driving into the large hospital, Ryan got of the car with his wife in his arms , his hands were sticky with blood .The nurses ran with a stretcher to take his bleeding wife into the emergency unit. He puts her on the stretcher pushing the wheel faster than the nurses did .“ I am sorry sir you can not go further than this ” a nurse said to Ryan as he left the stretcher hes

** High Court ** “ .......On this day, Rocky Hillsborough is found guilty as charged for the murder, abuse and rape of Mrs Vanessa Reynolds and sentenced to a life imprisonment. ” the judge says with a tone of finality dropping the hammer . The cops led Rocky and Sloan into the black Maria outside . She frowns her face as soon as she sights her husband . His eyes were red and swollen , he took off the dark shades covering his bulgy eyes . “ Why did you do that to her Sloan ? ” Mr Brookes murmurs although he was not clearly heard but Sloan could decipher the words he said . “ I wanted you , I wanted everything for myself and Rodney when you will be dead . She hated me so much . So I did it . Yes I aimed at poisoning her . Now her death is over the place . I am glad she died, I am sad that I am the culprit responsible for poisoning her . I wish you wrath in regret and pain Williams . ” Sloan responded with no remorse written on her face . Mr Williams Brookes found her s
“ Asa Carters ” Rocky said while detective Kennedy remained mute . He didn't expect such shocking turn out . Without saying much , he led Rocky into his inner room which they saw a movie together the last time . This time the lights are switched on and the only thing close to his reach was the TV remote control and a sofa . “ Sit ” Detective Kennedy said and with that he locked the door and left . He is heading to the Brooke's mansion . ** The Brooke's Villa** Mr Williams Brookes opened the door leading to his matrimonial room .he is face contoured with surprise seeing his wife who mysteriously disappeared three days ago . “ Sloan , is that really you ? ” Mr Williams inquires blinking his eyes rapidly in disbelief . “ You should be surprised . you're so despicable not to look for me .” Sloan rasped rudely, setting her foot on the tiled floor she hissed slightly . Although she enjoyed the hot and rough sex , her thighs suffered the repercussions of the rigorous copulation
** Detective' Kennedy's office ** “ This taste like her too.” Rocky croaked wearing a cocky smile on his face .His dentition neatly arranged glimmered at the sight, it was nice for him to behold .His hands twitched to reach for the bleeding Detective Kennedy who has all nosy and poky in his business . He suddenly shot his eyes close and then re-opens them sharply. His heart thumped like the tick tock of a clock , many thoughts crowding him . “ Why has the Detective not fallen flat ? ” He muttered beneath his breadth . “ That is because you did not stab me Rocky . ” Detective Kennedy replied in a low tune .On hearing the Detective's voice and his warm breathe fanning his neck , Rocky's skin stood up high revealing little dots on his entire frame . His eyes bulge out from their socket , slowing taking a turn Detective Kennedy grabs both wrists and handcuffs them swiftly . “ you are not dead ? ” Rocky speer completely perturbed .“ As you can see , I did not taste like h
The sudden silence in the Brooke's Villa was questionable . Rodney stood at the foot of the step placing his palm on the shiny banister looking up . His eyes met hers . And then travelled to her protruding belly all the way down to her feet . “ Where are you heading to ? ” Rodney inquires as soon as his tired eyes fell on her luggage and the manner in which she clutch her hand bag . “ That should not be any of your business the last time I checked. ” Bessie drawls averting her gaze from his . She lifts the luggage, descending the stairs calmly . She sets her feet at the foot of the stairs dropping the boxes on the floor. “ Phewww ...... ” she heaved a sigh of relief straightening up in the process . “ You haven't answered my question Bessie ? ” “ Rodney , you clearly stated night to do with and anything that concerns me is none of your business . What brought about this sudden change and wanting to know ? ” she utters firmly her bold eyes Peering at him . “

The morning was bright and the sun was smiling in it's full energy . Mr Brookes snaps his eyes opened , he was welcomed by a terrible ache .He slept on the couch whilst waiting for Sloan but she did not return that night . All his calls he put through to her was unanswered . He wondered why she did not return home , if he was too cold to her or she had a new lover since she prepared divorce and a death certificate for him . Mr Brooke pushes the thought of his wife to the back of his mind , he didn't want to start the day with a bad mood .** Ryan's Mansion ** Ryan got home quite exhausted , his back and neck ached badly .

He dreaded the response the surgeon will give to him concerning his wife's health .“ Mrs Vanessa Reynolds is your wife right ? ” Doctor Anthony asks before making any further statement .“ The surgery was successful Mr Ryan , she made it alive though still in the state of comatose but totally out of danger . ” Doctor Anthony says flashing a little smile at Mr Ryan whose face lits up with happiness. “ can I see her ? ” Ryan requested politely .“ yes ,she has been moved to a different ward .
