Nora's POV
It was on the morning already, I woke up with an hangover. I went downstairs to take some lime juice and I met mom and Azura watching the news. Azura is really getting close to her. I went straight to kitchen to take the juice and by the time I got to the living room, feeling a little better. I saw the blackmailer on the television. At first, I thought he was prolly a wanted criminal, then reading the headline I realized he was DEAD.
What tha fuck! He was okay yesterday night when I saw him. How did this happen?
Do people die like this?
The moment I think the worse had happen, another scene beats it. My life had turned to a telemundo drama, that's what happens when Tony comes into my life.
Yeah yeah I did wish the blackmailer dead, but I did not mean it. I just said it as it sounded like a good logic in my head. In addition, after I heard a about his crisis I felt pity for him. I even had in mind to assist him, but death already played it's card faster than I could.
I wonder what his son would face. Who shot him earlier? Why was he shot? I shoulda asked him these questions, maybe it woulda helped solve this new case.
"Nora, do you know him?" Azura asked me, as she noticed tears drop down from my eyes. I was already on the floor, and I did not even realize when.
"Ye... ah, I saw him in the hospital yesterday. He had an accident and Tony and I took him to the hospital." I managed to say.
What's the essence of death when all it brings is pain?
Life it'sself is a shrade of pain.
I remember Jessica, she was so good. The whole school was down with the news of her death. Every single body cried. They say you can't please everyone, but everyone needs a jessica in their life. She was honest, a problem solver, a friend, someone you could share your secrets with without been embarrassed. But, no one knew she was facing a huge crisis CANCER.
It was during her last days we found out. I could remember that each classes in the school saved money for her. The teachers were surprised, everyone cared. We all visited her and prayed she did not die.
Our seniors even declared a day to fast for her. I wish God answered our prayers, but we lost Jessica. I'm pretty sure she's somewhere in heaven reaping her good deed. I really love and miss her.
Azura's POV
"Ye... ah, I saw him in the hospital yesterday. He had an accident and Tony and I took him to the hospital." She managed to say.
Who's Tony?
"Who's Tony?" I asked her, but aunt debbie gave me a sign to leave the question for later. It's true, she looked devasted.
Well, that's not even my deal.
I'm starting to miss mom and dad. The closer my wedding is, the more I miss them.
Growing up as a merkid, I used to imagine how grand my wedding would be. When my aunt got married, grandpa gave her a very big pearl. Here's the deal, in the lake oceania, once a girl is born you buy a clam and noture it, this clam is kept to produce a big pearl on her wedding to describe how treasurable she is.
Dad might have given up on me already, he might had let loose of my clam.
I just hope he hasn't given up, after I win my bet with Dan, I'd bring him to lake oceania and watch him pay for the pains he made me make father go through 😢.
Nora's POV
What if Anthony was involved in this?
Then I recollected what the deceased told me yesterday.
******
"His drugs cost about 15,000 usd, and I had no means of getting it, then my boss brought up this money making idea. He did not seem to need the money, coz he gave me all of it."
"He?"
"Yes he.... He used to be so close to you."
"Tell me his name."
"I don't know. A friend introduced us, I haven't even seen him face to face."
*****
Anthony fit his description. He used be close to him, he did not seem to need the money. I'd go report him to the police. There's no way he's getting away with this one😒.
I'd already made my mind up, and convinced myself that Anthony was the real culprit. I'd fight for the poor man and his cancer patient son. I took my bath, got dressed and headed for the police.
When I bumped into HIM.
Anthony's POV
I woke up early this morning, only to hear william was dead. He told me everything yesterday, I wanted Nora and I to do that together, but due to her evil intentions she could not wait 😒, crave for revenge.
THE PREVIOUS DAY
In the hospital
After my conversation with Laura, I got into Williams ward.
"How you doing?" I asked him and then Nora stood up with anger written all over face.
"Whats wrong with her?' I asked williams as she banged the door hard
"I don't know." Williams answered.
I sat down on the only seat there which was close to him.
"What did you two talk about?" I asked him.
"About my son and... Yeah after I told her about my boss her countenance changed." He answered.
"What's his name?" I asked, I'd definitely want to know his name😑.
"He's someone that was once close to her, because all he mentioned was getting rid of you and getting back at her for what she did to him." He said to me.
He had not answered my question. But who could that be?
"His name?" I asked again.
"I don't know, all I call him his boss. We haven't met. This is actually my first time doing this." He added.
"Your name?" I asked.
"Williams." He answered.
"I'm ..... I'm....." He managed to say as he tried to sit on his back.
"Don't bother." I said to him.
"I'm really grateful for what you and her did. I'll use my life to protect your relationship." He added as a little blush formed on my face.
This is why I did not want to spend too much time with Nora, I'm starting to... Hell no I don't like her 🙄
"We're..." I tried to explain the truth to him.
Then an important question crossed my mind.
"Who shot you?" I asked, as his countenance changed.
"I don't know either. But... The only person I think can do such is.....my boss." He said and confusion battled with my head.
He had not completed the work, so why would his boss want to kill him?
"You must be wondering why?" He asked and i nodded my head positively.
"I don't know either. And I'm not sure, but no one except him could do such." He said.
"You mentioned something about your son." I asked as I remembered his first statement.
"Yeah." He said with a sad smile on his face.
"He's the reason I did this." He added, and my facial expression explained I wanted him to continue.
"What do you mean?" I asked concerned.
"He suffers from cancer." He said...."cancer of the blood." He added.
This was enough to ruin her mood. It'd definitely remind her of Jessica (may her perfect soul rest in peace 🕊️)
"His drugs costs $15,000." He started, I know how much Jessica's parents spent and yet lost their daughter to this dangerous illness.
"So sad." I said, took a heavy breath in and out and concluded.
I, Anthony Thomas would sponsor his son's treatment.
"I'd sponsor his case." I assured him.
"For real?" He said with tears of joy falling down his eyes.
"Yeah bro." I smiled as I stood up to give him a bro hug
We discussed about my life, except Nora's part even if he tried to bring it up. I also told him I'd give him $100,000 to start his life. It's too much, but it's worth it.
#back to the present
When I heard about his death, I was shocked. I knew Nora woulda found out already, and if she's still the same Nora I dated years ago, she'd definitely be broken down. I could remember when Jessica died, though everyone was down in school, even me. Nora fell sick due to it. She could not get over it for weeks.
I'd already planned to see her then tell her bout my discussion with williams, so we could solve it together.
Luckily for me, just as I got to her house she was already out.
"Nora!" I said as she made to leave.
I looked at her, and saw she was dressed up. But her eyes were obviously stressed from her crying.
"Leave me alone murderer." She flared as she slapped me.
Did she just call me a murderer????😡😡😡.
Nora, why do you keep accusing me of things I least expect from you????
