Akil steps out of office leaving me puzzled with my thoughts.
24 hours to decide whether to end my family's happiness or end my life.
If George Kingston gets his hands on the video, Everything will end. All my life I watched both families chasing each other for power, Especially George Kingston who is like a hyena waiting for an opportunity to attack us . One downfall then everyone will wash their hands and watch our downfall. This one is not just a simple crime . Murder that too Dad looks so young .
Did it happen in his high school / University ?
Dad in handcuffs arrested by cops with the media throwing harsh questions and words flashes before my eyes . My legs give out where I slump like puddles . The roses which I loved so much are scary in my gaze. Those crimson soft petals look like they were dipped in blood indicating the worst possible circumstances that are about to unfold.
OR
Marrying the person who gave me a pathetic name. Marrying a person who purposely humiliated me. Marrying a person who wishes to end my family . Marrying who I was not supposed to mingle with yet marrying him forever ?
My body is shivering with anxiety. Lips wobbling, I can painfully feel my heartbeats faster with uncontrollable speed which echoes in my ear. Clutching the ring box in my left hand walking towards my desk reaching my handbag ready to leave this place.
Emma opens the door and takes in the site of the roses decorated cabin.
"Ines ? What happened? Who did this?" Her voice is happy but the opposite is happening to me.
"Emma let's call it a day" I announce ready to leave the place.
"Ines, what about the charity gala ? We have to complete procedure" She list out where my thoughts are on the video
"Emma please handle everything, if it's anything important, email, text, or call and remove all those roses from my cabin immediately."
Walking out of the cabin or dragging myself out my thoughts are blank. I couldn't focus on anything except for the fact that the deadline is 24 hours. I swiftly entered the car , leaning my head on the window watching the route.
I don't know how long it took . The car stops in front of Grandpa's home, Blinking back remembering I instructed the chauffeur morning. This is also good. I can't face dad after watching that footage. Energy drained. I stepped out of the car , I watched the maids and others working .
"Welcome Little miss" Head mead addresses me , I nod with a small smile. The ring box in my left hand burns while I stuff the box inside my bag, My grandma Camile walks towards envelopes in hug
"This little miss never bothers her grandma she is always spends her time with her grandpa" She complains
"I too miss you and moreover your husband never takes no for an answer you know about it" I reply with a small smile.
