EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWI was in my living room watching the TV and having a me time when I heard a knock on my door. To my surprise, it was my mother. She had been calling me over the past few days to apologize about the last time but I did not bulge. I was surprised to see her at my door because I had instructed my gatekeeper to not allow her into my house.“Mum? How were you able to enter?” That was the first question that escaped my mouth on seeing her as I looked around for my gatekeeper. “I met the gate open today thankfully so I let myself in. I had been coming but it seems tou gave them the instructions to not let me in.” She explained.“I really need to tighten my security up.” I thought in my head as I imagined if it had been some random robbers or petty thieves. I promised myself to deal with the gatekeeper later for leaving my gate open and going on about his business like it was nothing. I was just living in a regular environment where anything could happen a
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWThe call was from Taylor. I got taken aback for a minute as I saw his name displayed on my phone’s screen. Do not get me wrong, it is not the fact that he called that was surprising but the time. He was at my gallery about a day or two prior so I did not expect to see his call that morning again. I eventually picked it.“Hello.” His innocent voice came on the other end of the call.“Hey Taylor. How have you been?” I asked.“I have not been so good.” He answered and that got my attention.“What happened? Are you okay?” I asked raising my voice a little attracting my mum’s attention as she mouthed “What is it?” curiously. She must have not been paying attention initially.“I am okay. It is Thomas and grandpa.” He said almost breaking into tears.“Do not cry. Talk to me. What happened to them?” I asked. I had already jumped off the chair I was seated on. My mum tapped my thighs as she kept mouthing some questions at me, she was never patient enough whe
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW.My heart sank as I saw Thomas laid there in unconsciousness. I sat there in silence looking at him reminiscing on our past memories. How we used to play around together with Taylor and fought a lot as well. We might have always had our differences as cousins, seeing him like that definitely angered me and made me want to fish out the criminals and have them dealt with. I left his ward shortly after to join the others at the waiting arena. I could not get my eyes off Celestia. She was a shadow of herself yet trying so hard to keep it together. “Celestia, Pa Robinson would like to have a word with you alone.” I said to her.She stood up from her seat and headed to meet him. I followed her with my eyes until she was no longer visible. I wished there was something I could do to reverse everything. I called Smart to one side.“Smart, there is no time to be lenient or feel sorry for oneself. We have to start working on our security more and also keep
MR WILLIAMS’ FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW.“This is absurd. How could they both still be alive? I shot them both myself. They never could have survived those gun shots.” I argued on the phone with one of my spies that I had at the hospital Pa Robinson and his grandson were admitted into. I was told they were both still alive at the hospital.“They are alive sir. The criminals they caught are also still alive and they are planning to investigate them but I have been sedating them as you instructed to stalk time. I will no longer be able to do that anytime soon to avoid getting caught. They are heavily guarded by the security so it is hard to do anything strange before them.” He said to me over the phone.“Do not give me any crap! You must make sure they do not get to interview any of them. Better still, kill them!” I thundered.“Kill? No sir, I can not dare to do that. They will definitely find out in the investigations. I think it is better you look for another alternative to get rid of
EDWARD’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEW.Celestia was later discharged. We then decided to get her home so she could rest properly. She did not want to leave Thomas but after plenty of persuasion from Thomas’ parent, she agreed. I took her to my house to watch after her properly. My mother also volunteered to come with us.“Welcome sir.” My domestic assistant greeted us and helped me with Celestia into the house.I gently made her sat down then instructed them to get her some food. Thankfully, food was done so they set the dining table and we all went there to eat.My mother tried communicating with her but she was not all responsive. I guessed it was because of the way she treated Celestia back then when Thomas brought her to introduce her to us.We soon finished eating. I led her into the guest room.“Thank you, Edward. I really appreciate. I know you and Thomas did not have the best relationship so I am grateful.” She thanked me.“You are family, Celestia. Words like ‘thank you’, ‘I am
CELESTIA’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWMy phone ringing and vibrating woke me up from the sleep I was trying to have. I checked the caller and it was Grace. We had not spoken since the unfortunate incident happened. I picked the call on the second ring.“Hello Celestia.” Her sharp voice came on from the other end.“Hey Grace” I responded in my sleepy voice.“I have been trying to reach Smart for a while now but to no avail. I was just able to get through to him and he explained what happened. Oh dear, I am so sorry.” She said.“Thank you, Grace. Everything happened in a flash that I am not even able to process anything right now.” I said.“Where are you at the moment? Smart told me you lost consciousness and was admitted but Thomas’ cousin has now taken you in to look after you.”“That is true, I am in his house but I will soon return to the office because right now, no one else can do anything in Thomas’ absence except for me.” I explained to her.“Wow, I think I have to see you. Send
CELESTIA’S FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWEdward and I were giggling enjoying the TV show when we heard the doorbell rang. Edward got up to get the door. Alas! It was Grace. We enveloped each other in a big and warm hug for a while. Edward excused himself and went inside amidst our dramatic pleasantries. I led Grace into the guest room I slept in earlier.“My goodness, Celestia. I could not believe my ears when Smart told me. We were supposed to go on a date but he kept postponing it because of his boss, Thomas. Then, he suddenly went quiet and I got worried. I could have never imagined that such terrible thing had happened. I even thought you were busy with wedding preparations since you told me you had an appointment with your planner together with Thomas.” Grace said with a sad demeanor.“It still feels like dream or hallucination.” I said.“How is he now?” She asked.“He is in coma. We are hoping for him to recover quickly. The doctors promised that he would wake soon as he is also ma
MR WILLIAMS’ FIRST PERSON POINT OF VIEWThe superintendent in charge of the warehouse jurisdiction where I brought Robinson to had just called to inform me that they had successfully gotten the case transferred to them with full report. “Yes sir, the chief security just handed over the full case report to my boys. That means, we are the only official team responsible for the investigation into the incident. I called to ask if there is anything you need me to do.” He said over the phone“Nothing yet. The suspects caught at the crime scene, how about them?” I asked.“They are still at the hospital. I was told they were yet to regain consciousness.” He answered.“Get them into the infirmary at the police station. Whatever it is they have to confess, I want you and your boys to be the first person to get the information from them.” I said.“Alright sir, will work on that right away.”“Follow the investigation up yourself and feed me back on every report, I do not want any slip. I know yo
