What My Husband Doesn't Know

Asia

"You good?" Jason asked then put his hand on mines.

I was shaking uncontrollably and my mind was going crazy. I couldn't believe what he had talked me into, but I trusted him.

"Don't worry. I got this." He told me.

"I love you." I told him.

"I love you too."

We kissed and I got out of the car and walked into the building. I stood there so lost. There were so many rooms and policemen walking around.

"Miss....." A woman a desk nearby said. "May I help you?"

I walked over to the desk. "I ummm..... I want to know who you talk to about a confession."

"Upstairs, first door to your right. Good luck." She said, rudely.

I walked upstairs and found the first door on the right. I attempted to knock, but the door swung open before I got the chance.

"Asia Stevens. We were just about to come pick you up." The dectetive said.

"You might want to hear me out first." I told him.

We went into his office and sat down. "What do you want to tell me?"

"That day of Hakeems murder, I went over to Ninas house and found Hakeem laying in a pool of blood. Hakeem and Nina both had called me, but I was unable to answer their calls. Nina has asthma and she had called me serveral times so I got worried and went to her house. When I got there, I found Hakeem covered in blood and Nina said she had shot and killed him in self defense. I told her to call the cops and she said no and that if I told anyone or refused to help her then she would take me down with her. We took his body to his house and left it there. We went back to the house later on that night and saw a girl walk in so Nina decided to call the cops to make it look like the girl had something to do with it. We went back to Ninas house and burned our clothes and cleaned her house then she told me to go home and act normal. And those boots you found were mines. I also called and left the tip about them being in the trash." I explained.

He sighed. "Do you have any idea where the gun might be?"

"Honestly, I never even saw her have a gun." I told him.

"How do you know she has one?" He asked.

"I dont know. She told me shot him so I assumed she had one."

"The thing is you said this murder happened during the day.....the autopsy shows that he died that night, but he didn't die from a gun shot wound, but from he died from his throat being slit."

"That's interesting because once Nina said she shot him, we took him to his house. We thought he was dead already."

"He did have a gun shot to the head, but thats not what took him completely out. Someone really wanted him dead." He explained. He picked up his phone. "Call a judge. I need search warrents for Asia Stevens, Kera Nickleson, and Nina Dupree residence."

He hung up the phone and grabbed handcuffs off his waist. "Until then, you are under arrest for the murder of Hakeem Moore."

He handcuffed me and took to downstairs to where the cells where. He put in the cell and closed the door and left. I sat patiently, waiting for Jason to come through like he told me.  I hoped his plan wouldn't backfire.

The cell door opened and Nina walked in and sat down. "What are you doing here? Or if I may ask what took them so long?"

"I told them what happened."

"YOU WHAT?" she asked, angrily.

"I told them everything that happened that day."  I told her.

"Why would you do that?"

I rolled my eyes. "Why'd you kill him? Hm. Whats the real reason? Matter of fact, what happened to the gun?"

She next to me on the bed. "Stop asking questions that I can't answer right now."

"No, I need to know whats going on. I need to know what all you dragged me into. "

She put her elbows on her knees and held her head up with her hands then she started to cry. "I can't say."

"Please tell me. It possibly could help our case."

She wiped her tears and took a deep breath. "Remember when I went to California for two weeks?"

"Yes." I nodded.

"I didn't really go. I found out I was pregnant by Hakeem and when I told him, he told me that I needed to get an abortion. I told him that I would in California, but really I was in town hiding from him. I was trying to figure out what I was going to do. I said fuck it and I'm keeping it. Two days ago, he came to my house and tried to kill me and my baby, but I shot him." She explained. "I killed him."

"Nina, thats self defense." I told her.

She shrugged. "I guess."

"We have to tell the cops."

"No. No one else can know that I'm pregnant. If it gets back to John that I'm pregnant and the baby might not be his, he will kill me."

I sighed. "Nina, Hakeem told you he would kill you and your baby and look what you did to him. You can take John out too."

She stood up and started to pace the room. "Im not going to kill John and I'm not telling anyone else that I'm pregnant."

"Why not?" I asked.

"There's just so many things going on. Something's you won't understand."

"Like what?"

"I can't tell. Just move on."

"I can't just move on. My life is on the line."

"I don't care. Why do you think I dragged you into this? I don't care." She said with an evil smile.
