Micheal POV:I got more miserable with every minute, I had enough time to think about my involvement in her death. Leo was right, it was all my fault, I shouldn't have allowed her to leave my side. I was at my lowest, tired, hungry and distraught. I had no idea what to do or say, I just simply lay on the concrete floor and waited for whatever I was waiting. I knew the feeling will only get worse, I couldn't see myself escaping from the guilt anytime soon, it would surely weigh me down for a very long time. I took a peak at the clock hanging on the wall, it read a quarter of an hour till 7 pm. I couldn't see outside world, but I knew the sun would be hiding it's last rays of light by now. I couldn't believe I would be spending another day at the police station, sleeping on the hard cold concrete, I couldn't have seen myself here in my wildest thoughts.Just like the fading rays of light outside, my hope dwindled. I finally gave up and tried to get some shut eye, perhaps it would reduce

Micheal POV: We pulled up in the front of the little apartment, it says much about their financial status. The weather-beaten slat cottage sat at the far end of a mostly brown lawn. Wood silvered by the sun. Roof shingles warped. Small stands of plantain and giant bird-of-paradise for privacy. The whole house was barely up to the porch of the laurel House. But it took nothing away from how beautiful house and neat the house was. "This house looks odd" Cal said "There is a strange beauty about it" Yeah I guess, so"The sight is quite evocative" He emphasized "I am heading out" I announced, before opening the car."Should I wait in the car?" He asked "Of course you stay in the car, You don't know her nor do you have any busines you wish to discuss with her" "Not really, we had an encounter, but I doubt she would recognize me" I got out of the car and headed to the door.I knocked on the door gently. I didn't have to knock the door twice before I heard movements and her small reco

Micheal POV:"Hey, what's wrong with you?" "Nothing""What do you mean nothing, clearly something is wrong""Did I say something wrong again?" I asked nervously "No, you didn't Mr. Angelo" She replied "Then what's wrong with you Aurora, talk to me" "I'm fine" She replied, she tried to walk away from me but I caught her again. She yanked her hand off and walked away from me. "here is the restroom. You can come back when you are done." I held her for the third time, this time I held both hands, firmly enough not to be rebuffed but softly not to hurt her hands. "What are you doing?" She asked furiously "I won't let go, unless I'm sure I did nothing wrong" "You did nothing wrong sir" "I will be the judge of that. Surely, there must be a reason for the sudden change in your mood""It's nothing Mr. Angelo" "I'm not letting go till you tell me. unless you plan to stay here all night, you better talking" It seemed like I made her angrier, she gave me a cold stare hoping I would be

Michael POV:He pulled up in my driveway and watched me get out of the Car. "Thanks for today buddy""You are welcome" "I will have one of my drivers send your car over very early tomorrow morning""Hmmm" He looked behind me and stared at the big mansion that stood behind me."Why do you keep living in that big ass house alone" "No friend, no partner, not even a maid to help you maintain the house, just you and two cats" "Cal, we are not having that conversation tonight" This was the umpteenth time he had tried to talk me into selling my house and opting for a smaller one. And every time I turned him down, I loved the house and I wasn't interested in letting it go.He sighed heavily in disappointment."Goodnight Mike" "Goodnight" I watched him drive off before heading back into the house. I walked into the house, the living room was illuminated. I always left the living room lights on, I know sometimes I stay out late and I know how much my cats loathe the dark, so more often

Michael POV:I woke up when the sun had risen past its highest point of the day. I knew I had slept late yesterday night but I hadn't expected to sleep till this late in the day. No work today then, I guess I will skip two days consecutively from work for the first time in forever. I walked into the living room to meet a big mess. I saw Yow and Mee sleeping at the opposite ends of the Sofa. Shit! I hadn't woken up early to feed them, I knew they would make their way into where their food was, but I might have worsened our fight. There was only one plausible solution, a guaranteed solution that settled every rift with your pets. Their special treats I set aside for special occasions such as this. I have kept it at the very top of the kitchen shelves. I walked into the kitchen and was shocked to meet a bigger mess in the kitchen. I groaned in pain. The whole place was disrupted, coupled with a couple of broken plates, the floor was littered and smeared with their food. I saw the mi
