....
(The glamour bowl was the day I had met Troy. He charmed need in no less than a minute and we had some drinks...I guess we over drink which was so unlike me and the next morning I woke up I was In his bed naked. Two weeks later I discovered I was pregnant and that's how we got married...that's how the contract marriage happened. For the sake of the child or should I say children growing in my womb..
********
Troy..
It was late in the night when I finally decided to leave the bowl there was nothing interesting happening and after leaving abroad to come back home proved to be a mistake..
My brother had passed on Two years back and no one thought it was necessary to inform that it was a murder until I discovered on my own a week back .
Oh god! I couldn't forget how excited he was that his wedding was the following day...but he was also pissed that I wasn't going to attend.
"Bro, come on now man you just can't miss my wedding...you are supposed to be here your my big brother remember..your supposed to be here for my big day" Alex had half whinned half cried as hold me.
But the memory of the fact that my brother could never walk to the alter the following day as he was killed made my mouth bitter..the back of my throat stung....he was murdered.
Beep!beep his ringtone went off and he looked at the caller ID and it was the investigator he had put on the case..he was called Pete Haymen and he was the best in the entire country.
"Hello" my cold liqour filled voice answered the call
"I have gotten a report Troy and it might not be something that you really need to know...can we arrange a meeting"Pete's deep voice responded
"Just spill it already.... over the phone is fine" I told him as my adrenaline immediately shot high
" He was murdered by his fiancee Miss Samantha McAdams. I think she found out that in his will she would be the sole owner of his company and so she killed him and took over his company which at present is the booming S corporations and I have the evidence to prove my claims..." He managed to say before the call was abruptly disconnected..
"What the f*ck" I cursed as I tried to call him once more but the line couldn't not go through.
"Samantha McAdams....your going to regret this...you wretch of a woman" I cursed as my knuckles involuntarily became a tight fist and my finger nails we're digging into my skin." I have to get justice for my brother "
...the next day...
"Troy get the f*ck up man" Javis the youngest of all the three boys well I could say two now that one had died..
"What ?"I shouted as I pulled the duvet to my head. Javis was making me regret reasons as to why I gave him the pass code to my house.
" Troy, the detective is in hospital, he was attacked last night and now his in in a critical condition and....."Javis paused making me get up from the bed and give him that look 'and what' where my one eye brow was raised showing him I didn't have the patience to wait for him to complete his statement.
"And .....all the evidence was destroyed and he had no copies so right now we are back to zero"Javis answered literally on the verge of crying. It hurt seeing my ever jolly brother looking so broken. All I did was just to get up from the bed and embrace him.
"Hummp,"Javis tried to pull back his tear.
"We going to be fine, don't cry" I consoled him.
"No it's not that, it's just holding me too tight and you wrick of alcohol and the stink is burning my eyes" Javis answered in a sad voice making me to in turn react by kicking him in the abdomen.
"Ouch"Javis winced in pain
"An idea has crossed my mind....since we already know the murder...I know she has done everything to make sure the evidence is destroyed....jail is not punishment enough for what she has done...I will infiltrate her life and leave her with no other option but to admit to her crime..I swear" I swore my eyes filled with so much determination..
(In the past,Troy and Samantha spent the night of the Glamour bowl together and thus Troy never picked up the call and the private detective was killed that night before he could tell Troy everything. Troy felt bad that he was back to zero and instead found solace in Samantha....
But the truth, however long it takes it always comes out so he discovered the truth ten years later...the betrayal hurt him so much.....he had spent nearly a decade with this woman he knew nothing about....so that was his best way of revenge...to Leave her, to hurt her,to let her see her world fall apart before her eyes...
But now that he found out before maybe the betrayal won't hurt as it hurt before....maybe the course of destiny is really going to change this time round.
"But Troy what are you going to do, that lady is really mysterious, we have all never seen her face she was going to become our in-law but we were only going to meet her on the wedding day. She has no pictures on the net, rumour has it that she is so ugly that she fears to be seen" Javis told me widening his eyes to scare me.
"Why are you at my house again?"was the reply I gave him which question he brushed off as he asked
"Just tell me how your going to do it and I will leave"he did those puppy eyes that always made me feel like gorging his eyes out .
