Please don't kill me, we can talk this out.” Henry said, checking his pocket for his pistol.“Damn it!” He grumbled as he couldn't find his gun in his pocket.

“Emily, please don't tell me you believe that trash! Why would I assassinate you lover?” she said with her lips quivering.“What's with the pretense now? There's no one here just us.” Emily creased her brows with eagerness to listen to whatever she wanted to say.“I didn't murder him, besides he's alive. We had no dispute whatsoever so why would I hurt that fellow? ”“Really? You hated him from day one.” Emily rasped, blaming innocent Celine.

“That's a bad idea, Celine” Emily advised. Celine didn't heed, she barged into the house with her house pounding. She would rather go in than stay out waiting for a miracle.Celine's heart skipped a beat as she slid the doorknob, she takes a quiet step in and the door shut behind her.

Helen stood in front of the open wardrobe, her hands trembling as she pulled out clothes and shoved them into a suitcase.

"That you've been lying to me for years? That you've been keeping secrets from me? That you've been cheating on me?""I didn't cheat on you," Henry protested.
