WEDNESDAY

❣️ ALEXA❣️

I woke up feeling happy that Hunter and Oliver are back.

I quickly took a bath and dressed up.
I wore a white T-shirt on a black skirt and a pair of white shoes.
I went to the dining room to have my breakfast.

” Good morning, aunt/uncle” I said to my uncle and aunt.

” Good morning dear” they both said.

I sat down on my chair and glanced at Hunter’s empty seat.
He’d soon be able to sit here once again.

” How are the guys? ” I asked.

” Both of them are still unconscious, but the doctor said they are responding to treatment” Aunt Kate replied.

” That’s great” I said.
I ate my noodles in silence.

” I called your principal yesterday to inform him that the boys are back” Uncle Evan broke the silence.

” Okay. What was his response?” I asked.

” He is happy that we have found them and he is surprised that it was Ms. Kilpatrick who posted those things about you and also tortured the boys” he said.

“By the way, you’re not going to school today. We are going to the police station and your principal promised to be there as well” Uncle Evan said.

” Okay. I want to check on the guys” I said and stood up from the dining room.

I went to Hunter’s room first and he was sleeping peacefully.
I almost cried after seeing how battered his body is.

That woman would surely pay.
I stayed with Hunter for thirty minutes and I said a lot of things to him even though he can’t hear me.

I left his room and I went to the study which had been turned into a guest room for Oliver.

I walked into his room and I sat down beside him on the bed.
I didn’t say anything to him unlike when I was with Hunter.

I just sat down and watch his cute face.
P.S: he is still cute, even with all the torture he went through.

Just then, Laura walked into the room.

“Good morning, ma” I said.

” Good morning dear” she replied.

She moved closer to her son and she began to cry softly.
I know how heartbroken she is right now.
Her husband is dying and here is her son lying unconscious.

I sniffed back my tears and tried to comfort her.
It wasn’t easy, but I managed to stop her tears.
I didn’t ask of Peter as I don’t want her to burst into another bout of tears.
We stayed in silence until my uncle and aunt came in.

” That b***h must pay for what she did to my son” Laura said emotionally.
Thank God, I’ve found another person who wants her to pay.

” We are going to the police station. Would you like to go with us?” Uncle Evan asked Laura.

” Sure. Why not? ” She replied.

We all left the room, leaving only aunt Kate behind to take care of the guys.
We can’t just leave them at home, incase they wake up while we are still at the police station.

🚨🚓👮👮‍♀ At the police station👮‍♀👮🚓🚨

We all got down from uncle Evan’s car and we went to the front desk.
We stated the reason why we are there and we were led into a room.
There was only two chairs in the room so the officer who brought us in had to go and search for a chair for me, since uncle Evan and Laura were already sitting on the available chairs.

The officer came back with two chairs and the principal was also walking behind him.

I sat down on a chair and the principal sat down on the last vacant chair.

When the officer saw that we were all seated, he then walked out of the room and few minutes later he came back with some of his colleagues who were ushering the handcuffed Ms. Kilpatrick into the room.

Her eyes were bloodshot and there were dark circles beneath her eyes.
She was given a chair to sit on, and the officers were standing beside her.

” We are giving you an hour to talk before we come to take her” one of the ogfficers said.
The cops left the room, leaving us with Ms. Kilpatrick.
Finally!

Laura shifted her chair so that she was facing Ms. Kilpatrick directly.

“How dare you hurt my son?
What did he do to you to warrant such treatments?” Laura asked.

” Matilda, I’m so disappointed in you” the principal said, and she lowered her gaze shamefully.

” I won’t waste my time to ask you why you hate me so much. I believe you’d be answering that question at the court, so until then. I hope you rot in jail” I said to her.

All eyes were centered on me, but I don’t give a damn.
I know they were not expecting the outburst, but am I supposed to keep calm after she almost killed two people who are dear to me.
Not to mention the fact that she started the rumours about me committing matricide.

” I believe we can settle this matter amicably, we don’t have to go to court” the principal said looking at uncle Evan and Laura.

” No way!” Laura and I exclaimed at once.

I know uncle Evan is way too nice but I won’t allow him to drop this case.

“Did you know how I felt when everyone was giving me the stink eye because they thought I killed my own mother?
Did you know how worried I was when Hunter and Oliver went missing?
Have you seen the pain and scars she inflicted on their bodies?
If not, you have no right to tell me that I should allow this case to be dropped” I said to the principal.

” Why are you suddenly mute? Say something, Matilda” the principal said.
What is she supposed to say that would change my mind about this?
Absolutely nothing.

” I did all these for revenge. I was embittered when I saw Alexa here in Alabama. It brought back memories which I was hoping I’d lose permanently.
I wanted to frustrate Alexa until she leaves this town” Ms. Kilpatrick said.

All she said doesn’t make any sense to me, but I didn’t utter a word.

” Can you listen to yourself? How is Alexa connected to your life?” Uncle Evan asked.

” She is greatly connected. If not for her stupid mother, I’d not be this miserable” she said and I feel like slapping some sense into her head.
How dare her call my mom stupid.

” Don’t you ever talk ill of my sister, or else you won’t like it” Uncle Evan said angrily.
He was trying hard to curtail his anger.
I’ve never seen him get mad at anyone before.
He really loves mom that even death couldn’t steal that love away.

“Can someone explain what is going on here because I’m lost” Laura said.

” I would explain everything.

I grew up in New York City and my father was a politician.
As such, I got whatever I asked for and I didn’t have to worry about anything.
When I was 12, a new family moved into the house next door and I was happy to have a new playmate as the couple had a kid who is just a year older than me.

At that time, the Smiths’ were not really wealthy.
They were just average citizens unlike my own family.

I became friends with Bryan Smith, and we were really close.
There was nothing I wanted to do that I won’t tell him.

When I was 14, I realised that I have a crush on Bryan, but I didn’t tell him because I thought the feeling would go in few months’ time.

I mean, it was just a crush, or so I thought.

Written by Authoress Adesewa

The crush I had for Bryan turned into love but he wasn’t into me.

He dated other girls and I watch him dump them when he got tired of them.
I was always very happy anytime he broke up with a girl, it means he’s single and he might notice me hopefully, but he never did notice me.
He just liked me as a friend, and at that time, I wasn’t too worried about him not loving me back.
I knew someday, he was going to be mine” she said and paused.

” Life goes on, and we both went to the same college.
After college, I worked in one of my dad’s firm.
I wanted to help him secure a job there as well, but he politely declined my offer.

He finally got a job as a contractor and the pay was mouth watering, so I felt happy for him.

It was on one of his business trips that he came to Alabama, and he met Eva.

I used to call him anytime he is on a business trip, and that day when I called him I could hear the excitement in his voice and I asked him about it.

He said he has found a sweet girl who really blew his mind.
He said a lot of things, and I knew I had a competitor.

I wanted to believe that he was just infatuated with this unknown Eva girl, but I couldn’t.

I knew Bryan more than anyone else and he hadn’t sound like he did on phone when he was talking about Eva in years.

Bryan came back to New York and it was always Eva this, or Eva that.
I was frustrated, jealous and angry at the same time.

I was frustrated that when would Bryan notice me as a woman, and not as a friend.

I was jealous that a woman Bryan hardly know was having such a stronghold on him.

I was angry at myself for not telling him about my feelings all these years. It would have prevented this from happening.

That year, he invited Eva to spend the Christmas holiday with him.
I was finally going to meet the Eva at last.

Eva arrived two days before Christmas and I was stunned by her beauty.
She also seems to be very intelligent as I intentionally asked her about different aspects of life and her response was brilliant.
No wonder she had Bryan wrapped around her little fingers.

I was jealous as I watched them get lovey-dovey with each other.
I had to excuse myself that I wasn’t feeling well.

I was shocked when Bryan told me that he is getting married to Eva few months later.
I tried to convince him that he shouldn’t do it, since they haven’t known each other for a long time.
He was adamant, he said he loves her and he does not need to spend years with her before he is convinced that she is his other half.

I knew I had lost him then, but I didn’t want to concede to defeat.

I invited him to dinner at my place few weeks later.
It was around that time of the month when I was most fertile. I had drugged his food.

I forced myself on him, and prayed fervently that it would lead to pregnancy so I could hook him with it.

Our friendship became strained after that incident as he was wary of me.
I wasn’t deterred though.

I left the city for a month, and I went to Arkansas.
We have an abandoned family house there, so I went there for my vacation.

It was at Arkansas that I discovered that I was already pregnant.
My joy knew no bounds.
I was finally pregnant for the man of my dreams.

I set out for New York City the next day but I had a fatal accident which cost me my womb.

I also suffered from temporary amnesia at that time.

I didn’t remember anything about my former life until several years later.

By then, I was already a teacher in this town.

I remember everything when I saw Bryan, Eva and a little girl who I know without a doubt is their daughter.
They came to visit Evan, who is Eva’s brother.

I acted calmly and tried to get closer to them but they acted like they saw a ghost.

I snooped around till I gathered enough information to destroy Bryan.
I wanted to pay Bryan back for betraying me, for not loving me back, for neglecting me.

I went back to my dad’s firm and I told some of my friends there about my plans to bring Bryan down.

I set up a fake company and one of the representatives of my company went to Bryan’s company to strike a business deal with him.

It was a bad investment for him, and he lost all his hard earned money.

A part of me still wanted Bryan badly, so I called him on phone and I asked us to meet.

I told him if he want his company back, all he has to do is to divorce Eva.
He told me to go to hell.

That was the last straw that broke my camel’s back.

I went back to Alabama and continued my teaching job.

This year, when Alexa came to this town, I was very shocked.
The resemblance with Bryan was glaring and I began to hate her.

I thought of all means to send her out of this town, so I began to make those posts about her on the school blog.

I didn’t mean to hurt Oliver and Hunter, but I couldn’t help it” she said and concluded her story.

Everyone gasped collectively.

” You killed my dad!
You whore.
If he didn’t like you, can’t you find other men who would love you” I cried.

I was shaking visibly and uncle Evan had to hug me tightly so I could calm down a bit.

I wouldn’t have lost my parents if not for this evil woman, and she even had the effrontery to accuse me of matricide.

Jail is too good for her.
I hope she die by firing squad or roll down a stairs to her death.
Maybe then, my parents would be appeased.

TBC.

Love you all ❤ ❤ ❤
