I Swear, Let Me Love You Again

JENNY’S POV: 3 HOURS BEFORE: 3RD POV:This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Mrs King woke up from her nap hearing an impatient knock coming from her door. She rose up from her bed in annoyance and walked to the door but before opening the door, she saw a white note on the floor. In confusion, she picked it up and read it in astonishment: Dear Mrs King, I want to let you know you were right, I was responsible for Lydia’s brother’s accident. I was so angry that I had cut the brakes to Lydia’s car with the intention to have her killed. I was just trying to protect you by keeping this information from you, I hope you understand. The police and the media have found out, as KELVIN had caught me and recorded it all. He sent it to Nathaniel and your son reported it probably because of his obsession over Lydia. I have escaped and taken a sum of your money but you will make it back…smiley face. Oh and I took some jewelry. So that’s not stealing right? I need you to please fight for me and help me keep Nathaniel and Lydia apart, before I return. I will do everything in my power to ensure Lydia is murdered so you can have your kids and life back. Thank you. Love, your soon to be daughter-in-law.

Jenny. Mrs King was in disbelief but the knock on the door grew impatient. So she opened the door and saw her maid, Dia, who was in distress. “What’s the problem? What has given you the audacity to knock on my door like you own the place?” She questioned harshly and Dia, who was trembling. “Ma, I just saw Miss Jennifer on the news. And it seems like the police are approaching as I just heard the police sirens and she’s no longer in her room.” Dia spoke shakily and Mrs King shut her eyes taking a deep breath. “I will be down.” Mrs King spoke then closed the door in Dia’s face. Dia instantly ran down stairs and went to spread the news to fellow maids as there were just three left after everyone had left the mansion after the release of Lydia’s book, so they all looked at Dia in disbelief. “So what do we do? We can’t stay, I mean I can’t, I will be damned if I get dragged in between this mess.” One of the maids spoke and the two others sighed deeply. “We won’t be added into this shenanigans, I can’t quit. I have kids to take care of. Plus Miss Jenny must have some good stuff I can take before I leave but one thing I know for certain is I won’t go empty handed.” They all hummed in agreement. “I never thought she would do such a thing. She must have really been in love with Mr Nathaniel or is it an obsession like those crazy women in movies?” They cackled but the loud banging on the door and the sound of police arriving into the serenity of the house was heard. They debated who should come open it, meanwhile the police surrounded the whole large mansion to prevent Jenny who had just left from escaping. Dia was on her way to open the door, when she saw Mrs King in an elegant long black gown accessorizing with beautiful gold earrings and necklace strolling down stairs. Her short hair was straightened and the maids were puzzled at why she had decided to come from her room looking elegant. What was she planning? They thought, looking amongst themselves. She confidently opened the door and the police filled the place like ants, she knitted her eyebrows together feigning confusion but the chief detective. “Good evening Mrs King. We have a warrant to arrest Jenny Bilisy for an attempted murder of Andrew Miller…” He spoke and Mrs King looked genuinely baffled like this was the first time she was hearing this. “That’s shocking. O My God, it’s no wonder she had left earlier today in such a rush and she had been acting quite suspicious. I’m…I’m shocked, detective. I can’t believe this.” The detective looked at her with a blank expression trying to read her facial expression. He came to the conclusion that she was pretending but he didn’t utter a word as he waited for his men to look around and apprehend the suspect. “We didn’t find her anywhere and it seems like she had escaped.” His men announced and the Chief detective reverted his attention to Mrs King who was previously smiling but instantly looked lost as the detective turned to her. “Let’s search around the area, and get the boys to search all the CCTV cameras, we can’t let her get away.” He ordered sternly and they nodded fleeting out of the mansion. “If you know anything about the suspect’s whereabouts or any information that could help the investigation, please call this number.” He handed her a card and stared at her with suspicion before heading out. Mrs King let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding as soon as she shut the door. The ‘rat’ among the police force just smirked, proud of himself for ensuring that Jenny wasn’t caught and he imagined his hefty reward. The police cars went different ways and the chief detective was annoyed at himself and his force for not arriving in time, he turned and glanced at the ‘rat’ who was smiling to himself. The chief detective just made a mental note to interrogate him later but now, they needed to find Jenny.

***** 45 MINUTES LATER: “Hello?” The police who were driving the car which the detective was in received a call. “I would like to report a criminal whom I just saw on the news. I saw her filling a blue Ferrari sports car. I think she was just in the news for cutting the brakes to my favorite author’s car.” The detective who was listening became alert. “At where?” The receiver described the location and they took notes while the ‘rat’ feared but couldn’t utter a word. “She noticed I am staring at her, she’s driving off.” “Get the plate number.” The caller tried but only got a few numbers and was disappointed with herself. “I’m sorry that’s all I could get.” She apologized. “It’s okay. Thank you very much.” They hung up and he looked at the Chief Detective. “Let’s head there.” He instructed and he nodded speeding there thereby also informing the other police cars. At the end of the day, they couldn’t apprehend Jenny but they drove around in search of her and stayed in areas nearby. They called the nearby police to be aware of Jenny, sending pictures and the description of her car. They were also checking the gas station camera to get the plate number. The Chief Detective didn’t know how to break it to the Millers, Nathaniel and the media that Jenny had escaped.
