Miss Faith sat in her living room, sipping her tea, as she reflected on her latest investigation. She had been meeting people for statements about their relationship with her deceased brother, but every lead seemed to end in a dead-end.
Just then, her phone buzzed. A text message from an unknown number:
"Meet me at Café Downtown at 7 pm. I have information about your brother's killer."
Miss Faith's heart skipped a beat. Could this be the breakthrough she needed?
She arrived at the café, scanning the room for her mysterious informant. A tall, hooded figure gestured her over.
"Thanks for coming,"
He said, his voice low and gravelly.
"I've been watching you. You're getting close to the truth."
Miss Faith's eyes narrowed.
"Who are you?"
The man smiled.
"Just someone who wants justice. But be warned, Miss Faith, you're playing with fire. Drop the investigation, or you'll end up like your brother."
Miss Faith's determination hardened.
"I won't back down."
The man's expression turned sinister.
"Very well. Enjoy your drink."
Miss Faith took a sip of her coffee, feeling a sudden dizziness.
"What...what's happening?"
She stammered.
The man leaned in, his voice menacing.
"You should have listened. That drink was poisoned. You'll be dead soon."
Miss Faith's vision blurred as she slumped forward.
"No...this can't be..."
The man's last words echoed in her mind:
"Stop investigating, or you'll die."
He continued.
"And before you die, there's a shocking news for you about your cousin, Elizabeth."
Miss Faith's voice warned.
"ELIZABETH, don't touch her"
"Raymond's taste in women is impeccable. First, Rachel, now you...and the other one, pregnant with his child."
Miss Faith's eyes widened in shock.
"Pregnant?"
She repeated, her voice fading.
The room spun, and darkness claimed her.
As she collapsed, the stranger's words echoed.
"Raymond's child...you'll never tell..."
Miss Faith's world went black.
Unbeknownst to me, my secret was entwined in a deadly web.
And Miss Faith, the fierce seeker of truth, lay silenced.
I sat beside my mother's hospital bed, the beeping monitors and sterile scent enveloping me. Hours ticked by, and I decided it was time to leave.
