In the kitchen of a three-room duplex, the only sound that can be heard is the whirring of a computer on the dining table, the young woman sitting in front of this computer sighed and stretched her tired limbs ,she checked her wristwatch and its late at night, infact it's very late and her abusive husband is nowhere to be seen. Today is not the first time he'd come home late but she still feels worried. she sighed again and stood up, she walked up to the coffee maker and poured some into a mug, she was about placing the cup to lips when she heard a loud bang on the door, she jumped, spilling some coffee on the counter. she wiped it off immediately and was about emptying the rest into the sink when the loud knocking started again, she cursed her stupidly drunk husband who can't opened the door open himself. she walked up and opened the door to help her husband in but instead a middle-aged man stood there

"Mrs. Livingston? "he asked smiling

"ah-yes?"

"well, I'm detective Weasley" he said bringing out his i.d card and showing her "may i come in?"

"is there a problem? "she asked her heart beating wildly

"its concerning your husband ma'am" she stared at for a moment before stepping back so he could come .she led him to the kitchen and gestured for him to sit on one of the kitchen dining chair "coffee? "she asked he shook his head "have a seat Mrs. Livingston " she nodded and sat opposite him "Mrs. Livingston " he paused and looked at her before he continued "your husband he -"

she looked up at him "he what?"

"He died this evening" there was silence, she just kept staring at him, then everything became blurry before it all became black and the last thing she heard was the sound of a man cursing and calling out her name.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

a man walked quickly along a hall in a castle, he had a worried look on his face as he walked into a luxuriously furnished study, there another man is seated behind a large desk facing the window, his back turned to the entrance where the first man is standing with his head bowed "mi' lord?"

"what? "he voice cold as usual

"your brother, he he's dead"

the man behind the desk turned and looked at the man who was his second-in-command and asked quietly "what did you say", the other knowing better than anyone kept his mouth shut with his head still bowed. Mikail stood up and walked to the window looking out he said "does his wife know?"

"yes mi' lord"

He sighed, his life has just gotten complicated, what was he supposed to with a helpless ordinary woman, he sighed and walked back to his chair and sat "keep an eye out on the woman and report every of her movement to me and of course the burial date should also be reported "he sat back and closed his eyes. just when he thought he could finally propose to his ever patient girlfriend, this happens. Now the stupid tradition of their realm has placed a stop to him ever being with Anna, not unless of course his brother wife were to die before forty days which he seriously doubt. women were something he never totally understand, they just don't die easy. "you may leave and i don't want to be disturbed for the rest of the night"

"yes mi' lord" and news bearer walked out, closing the door quietly behind him.

'my foolish brother' thought Mikail, his enemies has finally caught up to him, he knew it was only a matter of time before he died but he had expected his wife to be the one to do it with all the hell he had put the poor woman through and she would have paid with her own life, that way he wouldn't have ended in this current situation but either ways whoever did this was going to pay dearly and he hoped their life will be worthy else their family will add theirs but coming to think of it, doesn't his late brother's wife have a twisted fate, despite his brother's abusive nature towards everyone and everything, he was still considered the better one among the two of them, he remembered his crazy old hag of a grandmother telling her mother one time she should was sure her son 'Mikail' was going to be the one to kill his twin brother because of his cold nature.

he was sure the poor lady might end up going crazy at the end of everything, then he would have to deal with a mad woman again and that is if he doesn't end up losing his as well.
