Jared, I murdered your uncle

chapter 10

Maria’s P. O. V.:

Now that Henry was safe, alive and well, we would try our best to get this Bruce issue to be solved.

“I’ll go confront him.” Says Henry.

“No. Not again. I can’t let you get hurt because of me, you know that. You know that very well.” Jared says looking out the window. His dark blue eyes look sorrowful, and they are glistening… Watering! I saw something I’d never seen before.

“Jerry that’s what I do and hey, I’ll be bulletproof.” Says Henry, Jared glares.

“Do you think that would stop him from doing something that might kill you? I can’t resist the fact that you all were on the verge of death because of this boy that doesn’t want to give out his password to his dad’s money.” Jared says, tears flow down restlessly. Samantha frees herself from Henry’s grip around her waist, and sits on the arm of the couch Jared is sitting on, she lightly puts her hand on his shoulder.

“Jared, we know him, we know his limits…” She says calmly.

“No you don’t Samantha!” Jared booms.

“You don’t know that man! He kills just because a woman, who happens to be my late mother, refuses to marry him. He killed my father for his money. He was his only brother you know. All family that I had. Paternal family, all gone. I can’t get it back, you know why? Because he finished them off… And now, for the same reason he would finish you all off and I will be left lifeless all my life, which probably wouldn’t exist because I was going to kill myself anyway…” Samantha wasn’t at all shocked, instead, her crystal blue eyes stayed where they were, her red lips turned into a pout, but she kept her hand on her lap now. Sensing the tension, I turned to leave, PJ right behind me.

“You PJ! Can I have…? Both of yours numbers?” Henry asks handing out his phone for us to save our numbers in his. Being downright strict he is, there was always warmth in Henry’s pitch black eyes. After PJ was done with his, I quickly punched my number and sent myself a text so I could save his.

I was completely done for in the morning, the worst hung over ever. But a phone call from an unknown number interrupted me.

It was only 4 AM. Wonder who it is.

“Hello?”

“Miss Maria F?” Someone asks.

“Yeah. You?” I say rudely. I hated being interrupted during my sleep.

“Just so you know I’m calling from the local hospital. This is about Carter Gomez and Kayla Summers. Would you mind telling your relation with them?”

“They both are sisters, and my friends. Why?”

“Well, these two young ladies were found hurt badly, an accident is clear, they ran into the wall basically, breaking their ribs and bruises on skulls.” My eyes widened in shock.

“Okay. Can you tell which car were Carter and Kayla?”

“A mini cooper madam. CR 985” He says, familiarity went across my body as I heard the number. That was my car!

“Okay, I’ll be there in ten minutes.” Being the lazy person I am, I just grabbed my glasses, cell phone and put on my pumps, caring less about what I looked like since it was 4 AM and I was sleep deprived. I knocked on the door of James’ room. Which was locked so I couldn’t just run inside.

“What the heck is your problem Ree?  Its 4 AM.” He complained, he was wearing grey pajamas with a black T-shirt.

“Carter and Kayla are hurt, we need to go.”
