Gate to freedom

chapter 2: murder or suicide

After wrapping her wet hair in towel Anna picked her coffee cup from side table and sat at her couch she turned on TV” “what! no, it can't be" "no, no, no" she wailed "cup of coffee fell from her hand she was numb she impotently grabbed her phone and tried to call Joseph with every bell she felt as if she was losing her heart, but no response, she wanted to prove the news wrong. She called Abraham "Is he really.." "yes “Abraham interrupted her, she dropped her phone, she felt breathless "no, no, no..." she screamed and threw the TV remote away. She fell on the ground her eyes were open, she had a panic attack her heart started pounding and she was unable to breathe, She felt as if she was dying, her maid came in "mam, mam, mam are you okay?" Her maid tried to calm her down, she brought her a glass of water and antidepressants, she asked her maid to leave, she was still laying down constantly staring at the ceiling she remembered the time when Joseph proposed her they were about to make it official. After regaining her breath she took her car and went straight to Joseph's house. Abraham was standing at the main door, she cried and unknowingly hugged him, his warmth made her feel relax, realising the fact that what she has done she stepped back "Sorry" after saying this she simply went in where they had kept his body Abraham followed her she saw Nanny she placed her hand on Nanny's shoulder nanny eyes were red as soon as Nanny saw that it's Anna she lashed out "what the hell are you doing here? you are a murderess" Abraham asked her to calm down, but she shoved him aside grabbed Anna's hand, took her to the cops head and said "Arrest her sir she is murderess of my brother" Anna kept quiet as she was already in shock cops told Nanny that they are investigating the matter and she should stop interfering in this matter "He had a drug over dose, even if he survived the accident he would have been dead due to drug overdose" they murmured nanny was trying to convince everyone that the real culprit was Anna, Anna left the place.

Abraham knew she was upset he could see the tears running down her cheeks, so he decided to pay her a visit. They both chattered for hours. Next day when Anna struggled to get out of her bed and decided to go to her work, cops arrived. They want to ask a few questions from Anna. "So, he paid a call on you before his death?" "He used to come by here daily" "So what did you guys do that night" "nothing we just gossiped and chattered about random stuff" "Any thing unusual you noticed about him?" "Actually yes he was a bit worried about his business, his dad thought him of a spoiled brat so he handed over 70% of assets to his step sister Nanny and remaining 30% to him, he was upset with his dad"

"what did you do when he left?"

"I asked my maid to make a cup of coffee and went for a bath"

"we would like to talk to your maid and guards" "yeah sure" she called them and asked them to corporate with cops, "what happened when Joseph left” one of them asked the maid "I made coffee for mam and she went for a bath I placed coffee on bedside and informed her she told me to leave and I left" even guards agreed that Anna didn't left the house, and when Joseph left the house he was conscious and wasn't under the influence of any drugs even the medical reports confirm that the drug which he overdosed, he has been taking it for few days which simply shows that he was depressed. It was confirmed suicidal case and he has a reason to do that, unjust distribution of property. Days passed by Anna was unable to get rid of that trauma so she left for a Cruise trip. Abraham woke up to a message sent by Nanny "I am going to kill that bitch." He tried to call Anna and inform her about the danger but poor Anna didn't respond even he send her texts. Anna saw a boat moving towards her Cruise It was Nanny, Nanny was holding a gun Anna knew about her intentions but still didn't react to it. Nanny yelled "you are a bloody murderess" "Nanny, relax “said Anna "you killed my brother why? why did you do that" Listen Nanny relax another boat arrived meanwhile, Nanny aimed at Anna's forehead. Abraham went up on the cruise but it was too late he heard the gunfire he rushed. Anna fell in water. "I, I, I.. can’t .. no, no, nooo... " she knelt down, Abraham grabbed her. She was constantly screaming no, no, no and she went unconscious Abraham dealt with the cruise members and brought her home. When she woke up she picked up her car keys and was about to left for somewhere Abraham asked "whom you are going to kill now?" "no one I just want to knew about Anna" " Doesn't matter she is dead now" "It does matter, I didn't kill her, when I aimed at her forehead she grabbed the gun moved it closer and said kill me but please tell him that I love him, I want to know whom she was talking about and I pulled the gun back but it was triggered during argument it was just an accident, I want to know about whom she was talking she was concealing something, I want to know that secret I want to know the reality, I know she is innocent I realised it when I saw tears in her eyes, All I want to know is that secret" "Look Nanny it was too hard to deal with those crew members now please stay away from this matter and leave the town" he grabbed her arm from the back but she pushed him back and said "I am not running anywhere" and she left. She searched Anna's house so that she might find something useful and she do found a diary, Anna's diary
