A Mystery quest !

Maze of relationships

Liza sat down on a chair. She asked,"So Mr.Mathew, how are u doing in life?" Mathew was a kind person with a lovely heart. The 6 feet tall man had adorable blue eyes. His physique would 'kill' a girl, that's for sure. Liza must be 'killed' mentally too.

"Well, everything's going great. Work is good. Obviously, for a boss of the SMTRF company, everything will definitely go good." Liza frowned for a moment. She had heard that name of the company earlier before. Then something hit her mind and she asked a question,"Where do you live?" Mathew's reply gave Liza a shock to remember.

"I live in the city of dreams. Melbourne, Australia." Liza was shocked. "So that means you know our girl suspect Scarlett, the curly hair blonde girl." Liza said in astonishment. Mathew didn't speak for a moment but then he said something very big. A secret was disclosed by him.

"Please keep this confidential. Scarlett is my sister but she doesn't know this." Liza now started feeling drowsiness. "What the hell is going on?" Liza said in anger to herself, inside.

Mathew saw Liza's expressions on her face and was forced to ask,"You alright?" Liza came back mentally. "Yes..yes I am alright. So let's move on. Why haven't you told Scarlett that she is your sister?" asked Liza, with her all whole confused brain. "Uh...It's a long story, but I will tell you unless you assure me that this information will be confidential." Mathew requested.

Liza nodded and assured him of the confidentiality. "Now what on earth will you take to tell the story." Liza asked getting impatient with Mathew's silence. "Ok-ok I am saying. Be patient I don't know why the hell are u getting angry?" Mathew asked with frown on his face. Liza realized that even though this case is getting more complicated, she shouldn't let any of the suspects feel that or get a jist of that.

"Hey I am sorry just had a fight with my boyfriend. Please continue." Liza said getting back to the tough detective Liza is. Mathew said,"My parents were living happily with us but one day mom realized that dad had an affair with some blonde girl with perfectly straight hair. Mom went nuts. She scolded and pounced on dad when he came back from office one day. Dad ran away from the house leaving us for getting a slap from poverty. Mom was jobless and.."

Mathew started weeping. Liza calmed him and then he spoke,"We were left to rot. All responsibility was on me to help my family. I started helping my family but it was quite difficult. Man, running a family is a heck of a job. I worked '25 hours' a day. But still mom and sister slept empty stomach most of the days. I was getting frustrated to the core. Scarlett supported me a lot in these days. One fine day..."

Mathew took a pause and then said,"I did a theft. Mom and Scarlett were totally against that. They gave me a big speech together. Getting frustated and irritated, I...I ran from the house. I went to a different city and worked there and got a good wage per month. I thought that I will collect some money here and then go back to support my family. But I was put to a orphanage. I told there that I am not an orphan but they gave it a deaf ear. I was broken."

Liza got emotional, but was listening carefully. Mathew continued,"I was adopted by cruel parents who slashed me whenever I did something bad." Mathew continued to cry as tears rolled down his cheeks. "Then I grew up wid strict parents. Although they did educate me but I was being taken apart by their cruelty. I grew up and completed my graduation. When I realized that I can earn myself a lot I decided to go home. So I ran away."

Liza asked,"Now I know. When u came back to help ur family, they weren't leaving at the same place, right?" Mathew nodded and said,"So I cried and cried and then decided to take a job and set my life. I worked in SMTRF company in Australia and day by day I progressed and one fine day I became the boss. Then Scarlett came for interview one day. I was taken aback when I realized that she had forgotten me and my name. I accepted her and she started working."

Mathew continued,"One day I just randomnly asked her about her family. That time she got furious and said her life story which was my story as well. At the end, she told me that she hates her brother to the core. That time, I decided that I won't tell her about myself. I will let things go on their own. In this way, I can always see my sister. Scarlett also told that mom had died. So Scarlett was adopted by rich parents who gave her everything she asked. So this is the reason that she is successful in her life."

Liza said,"Ok now, stop ur story here and let's get back to the case. Who do you think, is the killer from the 6 suspects?" Mathew immediately replied,"No doubt Elisha is the killer. From last 2 months she had started telling that she hates Lewis. I don't know for what purpose. But she always used to tell that..and."

Liza stopped Mathew and asked her immediately,"Hey wait a minute, how do you know Elisha from 6 months?" Liza was unaware that by asking this question she had invited another tremendous shock. Mathew replied,"Women, she is my girlfriend from 6 months, and we are about to get married now."

Liza was taken apart. Her head started turning in 360 degrees. The multi - complexity of this case was carnaging her brain. Now Mathew and Elisha also know each other. They were in a relationship and are about to get married. Mathew obviously then, didn't know the fact that Elisha is pregnant with Lewis's child. If he would have known that fact, he would have definitely not been a boyfriend of a cheater girl.

Betrayal and cheating was going on between the 6 suspects. Scarlett cheated on Lewis and the latter cheated on Scarlett and as well as on Elisha. Elisha cheated on Mathew. Steve used to be Elisha's boyfriend before.

This case was turning into a maze. All rubish and complicated things were coming from this maze. Liza and Ben were getting confused day by day. There was this maze of relationships in this case which was getting more complicated by every passing minute. Liza and Ben were going crazy with the suspects. They had never seen such a complicated case till now. Still they had to keep calm and cool to catch the killer here.

But was that easy? I don't think so. Do you?
