…And when we went to search her sister's room, we found a small bottle of…I can't really remember the name, was it…”

" Botulinum toxin,” I said,

" Yes, that's the name,” The officer said.

If they found that bottle in her hotel room it can only mean that she gave it to the nurse and could she be the one who killed the nurse?

" The poison was also found in the nurse's system, it turns out that the poison is a slow death poison, it slowly kills it victim and then the victim get paralyzed before welcomed by death,” he said,

I couldn't help but imagine that being Katherine, and I didn't feel any pity for the nurse, she wanted that for someone and it turns out whoever sent her had already tricked her into taking it.

Which was no secret that it was Debbie.

“ Where are you guys now?" I asked,

“ Still at the hotel and the lady keeps saying she has no idea what we're talking about," The officer said,

“ Just don't take her yet, we'll be there in a short while,” I said before ending the call. Just as I ended the call my phone vibrated with a message and it was a message from Matteo.

He sent me a picture, it was a picture of a man wearing a black hoodie and a jacket, he was talking to Debbie and from the picture they both looked engaged in a serious conversation.

This was the least of my problem,

My problem right now was how I was going to break the news to Katherine.

“ Why are you taking so long?" I heard Katherine ask.

“ Sorry, I'm done," I said as I put my phone back into my pocket and returned to her.

“ Why does your face look like that? Is something the problem?" She asked immediately she saw me.

" Uhm…" I said as I scratched the back my head and sat beside her.

“ Listen my love, what I'm about to tell you right now is kinda shocking but you have to be calm for me, okay," I said and she just stared at me in confusion.

“ What could it be that you look that way? It's like you're worried I'll suddenly run out of here," She said and I swallowed.

She wasn't far from the truth.

“ You remember when I told you a that a nurse tried to kill you?" I asked and she nodded.

“ I didn't tell you the whole story,"

“ What do you mean?" She asked.

“ The thing is…the thing is…how do I put this, shit, this is messed up right now,” I said as I rubbed my face not knowing how to break it to her, this was going to break her.

Maybe I shouldn't tell her, it would be better if she's left in the dark, but right now her sister is about to be arrested.

“ Luca you're scaring me, whatever it is you want to say, say it because I can tell you're deciding whether to tell me or not," She said and I sighed before taking her hands.

" As I said, you have to calm down and listen to what I'm about to say,”

" You've said that, I've heard you, just say it,” She said.

“ So it about… oh shit, how do I say this?” I said as I got up from where I was sitting beside her.

" I swear if you don't go ahead and tell me what it is, I'm going to hit you in the head real bad, forget that my hand is bandaged, if I want to hit you, I'll do it,” She said as she glared at me.

“ Chill tigress,” I said as I sat back on the couch.

" When the nurse was caught, she confessed the name of the person that sent her,”

" What?! Who was it, tell me the name,” She asked looking anxious.

" Debbie,” As soon as I said that name the place became so quiet that if a pin dropped you could hear it echo.

" No,” She finally said, if not for how quiet the place was I wouldn't have caught on to that word.

" No, no, she wouldn't do that, that's a lie, my sister wouldn't do that,” She said as she started shaking her head.

" My sister would…" She stood up forgetting she was injured but she quickly sat down with a hiss.

“ Easy there, you're going to hurt yourself more,"

" I don't believe she would want to do that, it can't be true, what evidence do they have? They can't just…”

" They found the poison in her hotel room, the one the nurse had the night she wanted to poison you, and…” I brought out my phone to show her the clip of her sister standing in front of her room door.

“ This was her standing in front of your room door and then some minutes later the guy that attacked you came," I said as she took my phone looking closely at the video.

“ That's not my sister," she suddenly said.

" What are you saying?” I asked in confusion,

" That's not my sister, I know they look the same and have the same body structure but they're not the same person and I'm telling you that, that is not my sister,”

" What is wrong with you? Have you been blinded by kindness that you refuse to see when someone is doing wrong? I know I don't know her that well, but I can tell by that video and pictures that, that is definitely your sister,”

“ Where is she right now? If they found poison in her room it means they're going to arrest her, take me to her, I want to see my sister,"

" You're not making sense right now Katherine, you keep saying it isn't your sister, okay let's forget about the video. What about the poison that was found in her room?” I asked.

“ The moment I saw that video, it made me realize that someone is trying to make my sister the villain, I'm not going to be fooled, so take me to her,"

" You're not making…”

" Try staying calm if Anna were few minutes away from being charged for murder,”

" Speaking of murder, did I mention the nurse is dead with the same poison that would have been used to kill you,”

" And I'm still going to say, it's not my sister,”
