Twice the Charm Chapter Fifteen
Chapter Fifteen “And you think that’s our guy?” The detective asked. Sarah nodded.“He looks similar to the guy you're looking for and ever since the whole case got publicized, he vanished. No one heard from him, no one saw him.”Detective Banes stared at her. “Did you notice anything suspicious before the murder took place? Maybe he bought something odd or…?”Sarah shook her head, slightly embarrassed. “No, we don't live together but I just have a feeling he has something to do with this,” she replied.Banes shot her a weary look and got out a notepad. “What's his full name?”“Anthony Wells.”He frowned. “The Anthony Wells of Wells and co?” He almost laughed. “Anthony would never.”Sarah frowned. “I'm not joking. This isn't some sort of prank-”“Lady, I don't know who you are to him but Anthony Wells would never be involved in something like this. He's a busy man, you know? He probably travelled out on some business trip,” the man replied.Sarah felt stupid and frustrated. She knew

Sarah had been following up on the murder case for quite a while and she thought it was odd that Anthony Wells had disappeared— vanished into thin air. Not only that, Abby had gone mute ever since. It was like she didn't want to engage in conversations regarding the case— like she didn't want to spill something.“I still don't get it. One minute you're talking about spending the entire month with me and now you're leaving?”Abby sighed and placed her suitcase on the bed. “Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you on time. It just came up yesterday and I have to be at work by tomorrow afternoon.”Lies. Sarah could smell them.“You said you had one month off, so why the sudden disruption?”Abby clasped her hands together. She was starting to grow irritated. “I've already explained everything to you Sarah. It's work and I have to be there as soon as possible.” She shook her head. “You’d understand if you had a job, Sarah.”Surprised at her sisters sudden outburst, Sarah let it die down. Bringin

Anthony's chest rose and fell as he locked eyes with the lifeless man. Shit, shit, shit! No, he hadn't planned on attacking the man— killing him even but there was no way he'd left 1 man talk to the cops. No, that wasn't an option either. He checked his clothes, his fingers and his shoes. There were no blood stains. Panic filled, he dragged the body behind an abandoned stack of air conditioning vents that'd been left to nothing. Once he was sure the body was well hidden, he briskly hurried down the stairs, slowing down as he neared the event hall. The music drowned the thudding in his chest. “Anthony!” His mother called from a group of guests that'd circled around her. “I've been looking all over the place for you.”“I had to find the men's room,” he replied, easing his tensed nerves and stuffing both hands into his pocket. “I actually thought I'd head home. I'm fagged out.”With a kiss to her forehead, he turned around and left, hurrying towards his car parked outside. .What th

Anthony held a smile as he walked across the room to get himself a drink — anything to ease his nerves. So far the party was a blast and his parents had shown him off like the trophy they thought he was. “What can I get you?” The bartender asked. “Anything alcoholic,” he responded and sat down to wait. “Nothing too strong.”While he waited, he checked his phone. Not a single text from Abby still. The bartender handed him a shot of alcohol. He chugged that down and requested for another one. After his third shot, Anthony left Abby a message. Fuck, he missed her and he wanted her by his side— anyone.“Anthony!” His mother called from a corner of the hall where she stood with other guests. He smoothened his tuxedo and approached the small group, a causal look plastered on his face. “This is my son, Anthony… I don't know if you remember him.”They all chuckled. “We all remember him quite alright. The most innovative architect and CEO I know,” one of them responded and gave him a stron

Anthony sat motionless, his eyes distant and his hands gripping the armrests as the plane rumbled to life and slowly began to pick up speed as it skimmed across the asphalt runway.His stomach churned painfully. He was uncomfortable. Panic clawed at his chest as he stared emptily at the empty seat in front of him.He hadn't meant to stab the police officer. Instead, he'd done it out of sheer panic— acting in the heat of the moment.He pushed out a breath of air slowly, reclining into his seat. He squeezed his eyes shut, a pathetic attempt at dispelling the noise in his head.The previous afternoon at Riverson's house had turned into a nightmare. He barely had time to think before his hand moved on its own. In a split second, he'd grabbed the knife and plunged the blade into the man's chest.After the first strike something snapped inside of him. Frustration. He went again and then again before reality closed in on him. The officer lay on the ground, choking in his own blood. By the t

Chapter TenAnthony wasn't even sure if he could term the meeting a success. Not only had he not prepared for it, but he had found it a little hard to pay attention.Every now and then, Aimee would have to say his name a little louder, just to snap him back to reality.“Mr.Wells,” Aimee called out and hurried to catch up with him, as they left the board room. “Sir, are you okay? You looked a little distant back there.”He nodded slowly, his lips pressed together. “Yes, I'm fine. What did Mr.Devan say?” He asked. “He hasn't said anything but with the way the meeting played out, I doubt we'll be able to get him to sign a contract with us,” she replied. His mood deteriorated even more. How bad could his day be? He wondered, running his fingers through his hair..Aimee stared at him, surprised yet concerned. She'd worked for Wells&co for a little over six years, and Anthony had never been this disoriented. .Was it a heartbreak? No, that didn't sound right. “Maybe you should take the d

Chapter Nine“Can you at least relax and tell me what happened?” Chris asked. He had known Anthony for a while and Anthony had always been a calm and collected man even under the face of pressure but right now that man was long gone.Anthony chugged down the glass of water to wet his parched throat. “I was at the bar and I heard these two men, they walked up to the bar to get a drink, and one of them was talking about how he had a buddy who was working with detectives on the Riversons case…” Anthony exhaled loudly, “Riverson had cameras installed in his house.”Everything slowed down. Chris’s mind began to reel quickly. Had the cops already gotten their hands on the footage? Were the cameras even working? There was no way they wouldn't find him now. Shit, he'd even walked in without a mask. “We've gotta get rid of the evidence,” Chris finally said, running his fingers through his wind blown hair. “We can't let them get to it before we do.”“So what do we do?” Both men thought long

CHAPTER EIGHTIt was all over the news by the following afternoon. ‘Local businessman found dead in his home office with a gunshot wound to head and another to the chest. Detectives suspect a business deal gone wrong or an armed robbery’Anthony couldn't think. Ever since he'd turned on the TV, his heart rate hadn't dropped. Every news channel across Malibu was carrying the news story. He poured himself another shot of the sharp alcohol and chugged it down, still it wasn't working. What if the cops somehow linked it back to him? But it couldn't possibly happen, after all Chris had pulled the trigger, not him.Even with that logic, he was still scared, worried too. His phone rang and he jumped in fright. Shit, he was losing it. Exhaling shakily, he reached for his phone and seeing that it was his mother, he answered.“Honey, how are you?” His mother, Tina, asked. “Are you okay?”He nodded, swallowing a thick ball of saliva in his throat. “Yeah, I'm fine. Just busy with work, that's

Chapter Seven Anthony didn't get what the fuss was all about. He watched as Abby hurried moved around, throwing all her clothes on.She shot him a glare and yelled. “I'll be outside in a minute Sarah.”Throwing on the easiest thing she could find— a button up shirt— she hurried to the door, smoothened her hair down and cracked the door open just a little bit.Sarah glanced down at her outfit and frowned when her eyes rose to see Abby's messy hair. “Are you okay? You look like you got into a nasty fight,” she said, pointing out the red markings on her sister's neck.Abby slapped Sarah's hands off her and tugged her collar up. “It's nothing, I was busy cleaning up my room.”The look on Sarah's face showed she wasn't buying the lies. Soon Mindy was at the door too, wondering why Abby was hiding behind the door. “Girl, would you open the door already?” Mindy asked and pushed the door open. Abby's weight shifted and the door swung open revealing Anthony who had only managed to throw on s

Chapter One
Abby stared at her laptop screen absent-mindedly. There was a lot of work to be done but she simply couldn't bring herself to focus. Tomorrow she would be leaving for Malibu and she was nothing close to done with work. “Miss, would you like anything else?” She glanced up and found a waitress staring politely at her. Abby shook her head. “I'm okay, thanks.” She gathered all things back into her purse, went to pay at the front desk and left. It was a warm sunny day in New York, Manhattan but Abby wasn't feeling the warmth. She was sick and cold to her stomach. Everything around her was crumbling. The divorce papers weren't finalized yet and everytime her lawyer called, her stomach would do a little back flip. Just as she'd gotten into her car, her phone rang. She reached for it. “Hey sis, guess who's finally home,” Sarah's chirpy voice broke through. A small smile formed across Abby's lips. “That's amazing. You're finally home after a decade,” I teased and her sister scoffed...
