Chapter 6 - Hidden truths

Point of view of Ailen

"Ailen, you must know something," José tells me.

He was already there when the police took Abby and me.

"Not now, José". I'm still in shock and, to make matters worse, those police officers are interrogating my friend.

"It's important, Ailen"

"Don't you understand my pain? 

José is a pain in the ass.

I'm shocked, I still can't understand what happened to Ethan. How did he die? The last time I saw her she looked so good, she told me that she had something important to tell Abby and I hope I don't hate him. I thought he wanted to propose to my friend, but I think I was wrong, it seemed like he was unfaithful.

"I understand your pain, Ailen, but I think it is important that you know who wanted to kill your brother."

"What are you talking about?" I put all my attention on José. "Was it premeditated?"

Fortunately, my dad is comforting my mom and doesn't hear my conversation with José.

"Abby threatened him... she told her brother that she would pay for his betrayal when she discovered him with another woman. After they argued, she stormed out of the room where Ethan was with the other girl. Honestly, she had never seen her so angry. She yelled at me and told me not to dare approach her.

I am frozen listening to what José is saying. No, this can't be true.

"She told me that Ethan would pay dearly... I think her jealousy blinded her."

Oh my god. Please, I want to wake up now. This is truly a nightmare.

"Young man, what are you doing here? Who let you in?" A police officer said to José in a very serious tone.

"I went in alone..." José answers "I was also there."

"Get out of here... we won't let anyone in. This is no circus."

"Suspicious?" José asks.

I'm still stunned but I see everything.

"No, she is not a suspect... she is the culprit." I was overcome with rage. "I think José has many things to declare to the police."

"I because?"

"Because you have to repeat what you told me! I won't let Abby get away with this!"

She was the sister I never had. I blindly trusted her, she was my best friend, and she betrayed me in the worst way. But this doesn't stay that way; she will have to pay for her crime. I don't care if he gets a life sentence or the death penalty. She has to pay for what she did.

A girl appears screaming and crying hysterically. I think she is Alexa Fuller.

"That's the girl Ethan was sleeping with." 

What?! I think she'll give me a heart attack.

Before I approach her, a police officer appears with Abby. I immediately felt anger running through me. 

How could she kill my brother?

Abby said she was innocent, but I know she was lying. Now everything is clearer, she killed my brother out of spite. She wasn't satisfied with fucking Elliot's brother, Eduard, for revenge, but he had to get revenge in the worst way.

We are talking with Alexa when Elliot enters.

"Elliot!" Alexa screams and throws herself into Elliot's arms while crying and crying.

I understand your pain, I am in the same condition.

"Alexa... calm down" her brother responds, bewildered.

If the situation were different, I would be happy to see it, but right now I don't feel like doing anything.

"They killed him... they killed my love," Alexa says through tears.

"What?! What are you talking about?" Elliot pulls Alexa away from him.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"My brother and I have come to see them." 

What? And where is Eduard?

"Has Eduard also come?" Alexa asks, hiccuping.

"Yes, but he followed the police vehicle... By the way, why did they take your friend?" Elliot answers, leaving me surprised.

Petrified

What is Eduard up to with Abby?

I don't care, because even if she gets the support of the president of the country, that bastard will not escape her punishment.

"She killed Ethan."

"What?!" Elliot shouts "Like she killed your brother? I don't understand"

"They were boyfriends and..."

"That?! Wasn't Ethan Gianna Morat's boyfriend?" He tells us, surprised.

I'm about to tell him that the Morat bitch is now history, but I will continue.

"I understand that he was the father of Ethan's one-year-old baby girl- But what did he say?"

I am in shock.

I look at my parents looking for an answer, but they are the same as me, we don't understand anything. What secrets did Ethan have?

Point of view of Eduard

I do not know why, but I have come to find out what is happening, and I promised Abby that I would help her.

I think I'm crazy, or maybe I'm just being impulsive, although I always have been. I'm trying to help a stranger and only because I fucked her at a stupid party. I have to talk to the detective, since I can't talk to Abby, not now.

They moved her to a room and I heard that they were going to do a vaginal exam. So that? I don't understand.

I see that the detective is flipping through a small notebook and drinking a coffee.

"Excuse me, am I bothering you?" I approached the guy and spoke to him in a neutral voice. Not at all, sir...? 

"I'm Eduard Fuller"

"Samuel Clark" he introduces himself.

"Well, it happened that I went to see Miss Abby Harris..."

"Sir, for now, the suspect can't...

Suspicious? I'm astonished. 

"Suspected of what?"

"Miss Harris is the main suspect in the murder of Mr. Ethan Ganash" he explains to me.

I think my eyes are going to pop out of their sockets. I'm stunned. How is that woman with a sweet face going to become a murderer? 

"She couldn't have been..." he stammered. 

"That's what we're trying to find out," she tells me without stopping to look at his notes.

"It seems fine to me, but for this, is it necessary to do intimate tests?" Even for a pervert like me, it is too much to do a vaginal exam.

"Yeah. Her alibi is that she had sexual relations with one of the guests at the party. We have to corroborate what the lady said, and as soon as she remembers more... 

Remember? Does she not remember that we fucked a lot? 

Well... I'm not very clear either.
