"Can you explain everything you witnessed?" Andrew raised his head as he dragged his hands along his trousers. He wanted to speak with his mom first but Richard was not having any excuses. The cops were going to interrogate him first before they went on to do the same for both Anette and Leslie. "Please in detail" the cop added. Andrew angled his neck back a bit to see his father standing there. He motioned to encourage him to talk. Andrew took a large gulp before nodding. "So I got back home from work and I noticed that something was being cooked but as soon as I entered the kitchen I realised that it was already done. It was strange to me because no one had cooked anything in that house in the past three weeks?" "And why is that?" the cop asked cutting him off from saying anything further. The man wanted to get a clear picture of the situation. "That's a private family matter that is irrelevant to the case" Andrew jumped to defend his family, he would not be the one to air his f
Leslie paced around her room, why did her son have to come right on time? If he had not come then her plan would have been complete. She wondered what the situation was at the hospital. She bit off her fingers as she thought about if it would be a good idea to call them to check on her. She took a deep breath as she thought of the expression on her children's faces when she refused to help. "Andrew must be on to something" she whispered to herself as she looked at herself in the mirror. If she was being honest with herself she was a shell of what her life had always been. She could barely recognize the person in the mirror. "I am only like this because of Jessica" she muttered as she pounded her fist into her palm. She thought of the possibility of Andrew showing up with the police. "I have to leave this place" she let out with a sinister laugh. " I can't afford them to catch me" she added before taking down a hand luggage. She pushed her way to the closet and she began to
Leslie was going to deny till the end. There was no evidence of her giving the drug to her daughter and if she denied it long enough she was sure to get out of the situation quickly. Although she wished she was not in it in the first place."So are you saying you made the meal?" "Of course, we have had a strained relationship for such a long time that I thought bonding over the pancakes would be a good time for us" Leslie answered. Her feet were sweating so bad but she could not show them her nervousness or else they would get on to and she would be doomed. "And why was your relationship strained?" "Excuse me officer you have been asking these same questions over and over again and I have answered you every single time. I don't think I need to answer you again" she said slapping the table.Someone came in and whispered something to the cop, he nodded and then turned back to face her. "I am sure since you are giving the police your full cooperation you would also not mind allowing
"What do you possibly mean by that?" Jessica asked. She has been arguing in front of the courthouse over the phone for the last ten minutes. Today was her wedding day. She and her high school sweetheart Burke were supposed to meet up here by ten thirty am to have their wedding. "Burke it is ten forty-five am, where are you?" she asked her voice shaky. "Jessica I won't be coming today," Burke said. "What do you mean by that? We are to get married today" she said again. This time she felt something got trickling down her eyes. She sniffled to drive away the tears so her makeup doesn't get ruined. "Jessica I don't think I love you enough to want to get married to you and live together in the same house," he said. She felt her heart sank. They had been planning the wedding together ever since he popped the question. He knew of her dream to get married and live in a house that had a yard for the kids to play in. He had no house with a yard but they planned to get one. "I won't force
"I thought you said she would be here on time?" Xavier shouted over the phone to his assistant Brian. The doctors had told him that his grandfather had barely two weeks left. Xavier had lied to his grandfather that he had a girlfriend. His grandfather had said that the girlfriend be wedded and presented to him before he dies so he transfer the company out of a management specialist to his name. His grandfather knew what a responsible man Xavier was but he feared that if he left the world Xavier would be all alone and later the company will leave the Delgado household. Dawson (Xavier's grandfather) decides that instead of Xavier giving up the company in the long run, he would be the one to leave the company in the hands of those who can manage. It would make him roll on his grave if Xavier gives up on his hard work and sweat. He rather does it for himself. Xavier knew he owed it to his grandfather. When his parents died in a ghastly motor accident that claimed their life, he had b
"What?" Xavier said dropping the phone from his ears to look at this girl. How could she just think to get married to him when she knew nothing about him? "Are you from the marriage service?" he asked. His question threw Jessica off balance. "No," she said biting her lips. She was sure that her makeup was now ruined by all the crying she had done. The conversation she overheard made her decide to make sure she got married before leaving the courthouse and since this man was in desperate need of a wife she decided to step up to the task. "You need a wife don't you?" she asked sniffling. Her crying had left her nose running. "Yes, I am" Xavier answered. It just occurred to him that she could be an answer to his solution. "I was dumped on my wedding day. I don't want to bore you with all the details but I see you need a wife. I could be your wife" She said. Xavier looked at her carefully. She looked sane after the ruined makeup on her face. He put back the phone to his ear."Ensure
Jessica blinked multiple times. She could not believe she just got married. Under normal circumstances, she was supposed to give her husband a big kiss on his lips. Looking beside her at the stranger who she just found was Xavier Delgado, she still couldn't believe she was married. "Would you like to take pictures?" one of the witnesses asked them. "Yes," Xavier answered collecting the marriage certificate from the judge. "Thank you for today," he said addressing the judge. "Let's go take our picture," he said standing up and leaving. Jessica could barely comprehend what was going on but it seemed as if Xavier had come to terms with the fact that he had married a stranger. He seemed comfortable with it. Jessica goes outside and sees him standing in front of the courthouse holding the certificate. She approached him and stood close to him. "If we are taking a picture, we better make it believable that we just got married," Xavier said "You didn't ask me if I am okay with taking
Xavier was used to driving in silence but he needed to let her in on some secrets. "As you heard before my name is Xavier Delgado" Xavier started. Jessica was retained back to reality by his voice from her chain of thoughts. She turned to face him to take in all that he had to say. Since he needed a wife there must be a backstory. "My grandfather is sick and in the hospital and he had been hugging me to get married. I was to going to get married to a girl from a wedding agency but she didn't show up so I got married to you.""I had told my grandfather that we have been dating for a year now and that's why we got married""Okay," Jessica responded. "What do you do?" Xavier asked her when he saw that she responded. "I'm an assistant chef at L'Verine restaurant" Jessica answered. Xavier knew the place he had dined there quite several times. He wondered if she had seen him. The thought of her approaching him purposely since she knew that he was rich crossed his mind but he did not b
