It was a Friday afternoon and also a half day at work for Jerry and Catherine.
When they left the company at one PM they branched at Victoria Designs, one of the biggest fashion designing fame in New York City, that was there they had ordered the wedding gown that Catherine was going to put on on the wedding day.
"Babe what is taking you so long" Jerry screamed from outside the changing room as he was impatiently waiting for Catherine who was putting on the wedding gown inside the changing room.
"Babe I'm almost done." Catherine replied from the changing room.
Jerry stood up from the chair he was sitting and started walking around the boutique as he kept admiring the other wedding dresses that were in the boutique too.
As he was busy admiring them the door of the changing room cracked open and Catherine majestically walked out.
Once she came out Jerry's Jaw dropped in awe, he couldn't help but admire how beautiful Catherine was looking in the wedding gown.
It was as if the wedding gown brought out all her hidden beauty.
"Babe" Catherine called out to Jerry and immediately he jerked back to reality.
"Have you been listening to me?" Catherine asked Jerry.
"Sorry babe I didn't hear what you said before" Jerry said to Catherine with a fake smile and immediately Catherine furrowed her brows at him.
"I have been asking you how the gown looks on me but you seem to be lost in your thoughts." Catherine said to Jerry.
"Sorry about that, the gown looks perfect on you, I was even imagining how the both of us were going to be walking majestically to the altar to share our vows to each other." Jerry said to Catherine while approaching her.
"You liar" Catherine said to Jerry teasingly and immediately Jerry held her on the waist and placed a kiss on her lips.
As they were both kissing Victoria who came out of the dressing room with Catherine cleared her throat in order to signal her presence and immediately the both of them disengaged from the kiss.
"So Mr. Jerry, what do you think about the gown?" Victoria, the owner of the fame asked.
"It's perfect, I can't wait for the wedding day?" Jerry replied happily while looking at Catherine who was smiling too.
"Babe can you please take some pictures of me in the wedding gown?" Catherine said to Jerry who nodded in agreement.
When Jerry wanted to bring out his phone from his pocket he realized that he had forgotten his phone in the car.
"Babe it seems that I left my phone in the car, what about yours?" Jerry inquired.
"It's in my handbag, I left it in the car too." Catherine replied.
"OK let me go and get it" Jerry said to Catherine and started heading outside.
Once Jerry came outside a blue Mercedes-Benz immediately drove towards his direction and immediately they approached him the person that was in the passenger seat wined the glass down and brought out his gun and shot two times towards Jerry's direction.
Before Jerry could realize what was going on the bullets had already sunk into his right chest and immediately he collapsed on the floor with blood gushing out from the spot that received the bullet like a broken water pipe.
Once Catherine and Victoria heard the gunshots they immediately ran outside only to find Jerry lying in his pool of blood.
"Cynthia, it has been over two weeks since Daniel was released from police custody and you want me to believe that you don't know where he is." Mr Bernard screamed angrily at Cynthia.
It has been over two weeks since Mr. Bernard had been asking Cynthia about Daniel but Cynthia denied knowing anything about his whereabouts.
Mr. Bernard knew the bond that existed between the both of them and because of that he was sure that Daniel could never leave the house without telling his mother where he was heading to.
"How many times will I have to tell you that I don't know anything about his whereabouts, why don't you go and ask your son who accused him of stealing money from the company and poisoning his colleague." Cynthia told Mr. Bernard angrily.
"Wow so according to you Daniel didn't steal money from the company nor poison the coffee of his colleague?" Mr. Bernard asked Cynthia angrily?"
"Well I don't know, and even if he did it I'm sure he had his reasons." Cynthia said in Daniel's defense without minding the angry gaze of her husband.
With that statement Mr. Bernard looked at her angrily for some seconds before shaking his head in disbelief.
"I will keep on saying it and repeating it, neither did I chase Daniel out of the house nor did I ask him to leave the house because if anything happens to him wherever he is, know that it is on your head." Mr. Bernard said angrily to Cynthia before turning to leave.
As he was about to go downstairs his phone started ringing and immediately he brought it out and saw that it was Catherine calling.
Without hesitating he picked up the call and placed the phone on his ear.
"Hello Catherine, how are you?" Mr. Bernard asked across the phone.
"Sir we are not fine, Jerry is in the hospital" Catherine replied to him across the phone with a teary tone.
"Hospital?What happened to him?" Mr Bernard asked across the phone with a worried tone.
"He was shot sir" Catherine replied to him across the phone while sobbing.
Once Catherine broke the news to him, his phone fell off from his hand and immediately he held his chest as he started finding it difficult to breathe.
Cynthia, who noticed the odd reaction of her husband after the phone call, immediately started rushing towards him.
"Are you okay?" Cynthia asked Mr. Bernard as she was approaching him.
But before she could approach him he had already collapsed on the floor while painting.
Without hesitating Cynthia rushed towards him and started screaming for help.
