The Devil Beside Her

Chapter 03

"Honey where are you going this Morning?" asked Mike stretching his arms on the bed looking at his lover getting dressed. "well, when I woke up I remembered that Chanice wanted to talk with me so I wanted to go check up on her before she leaves in the morning and not even answer my call. I was rude to her last night because of being drunk" "Oh well then greet her for me and tell her I hope there's no hard feelings between me and her because of last night" ,Mike said that as he covered himself with the blankets and went back to sleep. She asked Andrew her personal driver to drive her there.

When they got there Chanice's resident was surrounded by the press from outside of the gate, a way was made so that their car could pass through, the cameras started flashing through the car window and reporters screaming and mumbling some words but Kaily couldn't hear anything as she was shocked when they got through even before the car could find a better place to park, Kaily got off without even thinking or realizing that the car was still moving. She was met by police two police cars, an ambulance and a forensic vehicle, she tried running to the front door to see what was going on, a man caught her before she could even go inside and calmed her down. "What is going on! What is going on!" she tried to force her way through but couldn't as her father was holding tightly on both her arms so she couldn't escape. "Ashmerald! Ashmerald! calm down let me explain" , David never learned to call her daughter by her stage name, they don't even have that father daughter relationship they are just two people who share the same blood. The last time they were happy as father and daughter was when Cassandra her mother was still alive. "Father? what are you doing here? what is going on?" the last she saw him was after the funeral of her mother when he sold their home and disappeared into thin air and never called to ask how they were both her and her now deceased sister. "before we get in there you must promise me to calm down, then I will let you in" ,she stopped for a second, looked at him "what the f*ck do you mean you'll let me in? ,this is my sister's house I even have the keys to every room in the house whatchu you talking about spitting some bullsh*t of letting me in, if you not going to explain sh*t MOVE aside" she said that with an angry face but you could see that she is even releasing some of the pant up anger she never got to release, then she tried pushing him aside without care. He quickly got hold of his step to try and stop her again, he held her left arm tightly pulling her back to him again "wait!" catching his breath a little "something very bad happened in there, prepare for the worst" he let her go "WOW! all that hustle of stopping me, only to tell me that when I could've got in there like 5 minutes ago" now she was angry she pushed him back aggressively making him fall on his butt she came close to him, looked down at him while he looked up at her, "stay down there Father!" raising her left eyebrow with a fierce look, when she turned back before she could fully enter the door her pretty face hit the chest of a police officer "ouch!" he took a step back "Miss Armstrong, we've bee trying to get hold of you all morning" after saying that he realized she is still rubbing her forehead, he quickly approached her "I am so sorry I didn't see you there" he gently removed her hand on her forehead and put his there, moved his face closer and blew some air on it while rubbing it with his index finger. The man was a tall handsome British man with a cold glare, a straight forehead adorned by bushy eyebrows but you could tell he tried to keep them clean, just below them were his grey stormy eyes with long lashes, a pointy nose with naturally pouty lips. He kept his hair shortly neat, very dangerously shortly neat, his hair style was risky but it looked good. "*silly cough* detective *silly cough* DE *cough* TEC *cough* TIVE! *cough*" that was coming from another officer that was next to them, the detective blowing on her forehead quickly stopped and slightly coughed, he then made a serious face "uhm, my name is Detective and am an Yaas" Kaily had a confused face not understanding anything the man just said she then looked at the next officer trying to get him to clarify what he just said.

The officer next to him hit him with his right hand on his chest as he was standing on the left side of him, after realizing what he just said he quickly fixed his tie and cleared his throat "I meant to say that I am detective Yaas and this is my partner officer Clarcky" the young man looked like a black James Dean "yes am officer Lenny Clarcky, nice to meet you" he stretched his arm to greet Kaily but the detective hit it down, "this is not a social gathering take her inside and explain I'll be right in there" detective Yaas pushed officer Clarcky forward making a way for Kaily to get in, he then went back and found David on the floor seated like an abandoned soul, "Mr Armstrong, we still need you inside, please follow me" Yaas offered him a helping hand so he could stand up, "am just so devastated detective I can't stand it am out of words and shocked indeed" he said that while standing up and they both walked towards the house.

When kaily got inside the first thing she saw was Vihaan sitting by the site table that was near the door with his hands cuffed, as he was looking down and she quickly ran to him and fell on her knees, her hands clasped his face and raised it "what happened here, where is Chanice?" they both looked at each other and Vihaan's tears started rolling down his cheeks like a river, as he was sniffling he raised his arms to wipe his tears and mucus at that instant Kaily stood up to run upstairs but as she took the first step she realized she missed something by the kitchen she quickly turned back and slowly approached the laying body covered in a cadaver pouch, she slowly approached it, her mind started debating with itself "I hope this is not who I think it is, Chanice must've gone for a run before she starts her day so it means she will be back to see what is going on here in her house right?" ,she slowly knelt down by the body and she slowly unzipped it and her heart started pounding she could feel that it was going to jump out and leave her hanging because it was not ready to see what was inside there when it was half way open her eyes widened and voluntarily the tears started flowing down her cheeks and she quickly opened it further she saw the cold dead body of her sister covered in blood and she tried to pick her into her arms and she saw the cut on her throat and she started wailing, that's when she realized she won't wake up, detective Yaas ran to her with officer Clarckly, they slowly pulled her from the corpse and she slowly moved back, with shock trying to catch her breath she fells in the arms of detective Yaas, officer Lenny zipped the pouch before he could fully zip it kaily touched his hand and asked "who did this and why?" with her voice faintly, he quickly zipped it and they took her back to the side table where Vihaan was sitting as soon as she sat down her father placed his hands on her shoulders to show he is comforting her' she turned her head and realized it's him and she shook his hands off her and they fell to his thighs, he looked at her and realized he doesn't stand a chance of being the comforter in this instant moment he moved to the other side of the side table. Detective Yaas explained the matter that in the morning by 6:35 they received a call reporting the murder of Miss Chanice Armstrong and when they got here with the paramedics she was already dead and it shows that she died early in the morning between 5 and 6am, she couldn't hold her tears in as they kept rolling down her cheeks, he further explained that when they got to the scene the main suspect found there was Vihaan covered in her blood and that there was a sign of struggle in the kitchen where the body was lying and by the sink the murder weapon was washed there by the sink but it had his finger prints as he was explaining this Vihaan started breathing heavily and crying while he lowly said "I didn't do it, I didn't do it." Detective carried on by saying they found him laying next to the victim with his pants down and they found out that the corpse was also r***d, at that time Kaily jumped from her chair and in a split second she was on top of Vihaan and they both fell down while she was still on top of him she started slapping him all over his face spitting the words "DIE! DIE! DIE! you piece of sh*t, you ungrateful bastard... DIE! DIE! DIE! how could you do that you STALKER f**k*n bastard" as she kept slapping him she also threw in some punches, officer Clarcky quickly grabbed the tiny singer from Vihaan, but at that point Vihaan was laying still on the ground silently crying and he never sheltered himself from the slaps and the punches he got from Kaily, detective Yaas picked him up nicely and told them that he will be taken to the station to be questioned and interrogated thoroughly, Kaily wasn't having it she quickly grabbed the gun from officer Clarcky and pointed it at Vihaan "are you gonna die willingly or I have to do it myself?!" she was still crying when they all moved backwards but Vihaan was standing still and even knelt down as he was weeping you could see he didn't care no more what was to happen to him, "Yes... now you will die like dog, I shall kill you right here right now in front of everyone, you piece of sh*t" while she said that she was shaking and kept on wiping her tears that flowed down like a river they just wouldn't stop, when she coughed repeatedly her father tried stopping her standing from the side "Ash honey calm down!" with both his arms trying to reach to her and trying to move towards her, immediately the gun pointed at him "Ash? Ash?, did you just call me that you low life garbage, you have no right calling me that, or you could just join Vihaan in death right now!" she hasn't heard that name for years, when the house was warm David and Cassandra would call Kaily that and she loved it but now it just brings bad memories to her and she wishes they all die for betraying her like that.

Detective Yaas swiftly tackled her small body down the ground and pressed her hands above her head as they were tightly clenching on to the gun he quickly shouted "Clarcky grab the GUN! grab it quickly" as she was trying to stand up too strong, Clarcky tried really hard grabbing the gun but he had to be careful while doing this because it could go off and kill someone innocently finally he was able to take it from her, as Yaas was standing up from the top of Kaily she gave him a knee kick on his stomach and he fell to the side, she clicked her tongue and stood up with an angry face.

Clarcky strapped his gun back on tightly, tried to help his up "Sir are you ok" "yeah yeah am fine I didn't know she could kick as hard as that" they both approached the kneeling Vihaan and stood him up, told him he was being arrested he looked at the corpse one last time and he felt a slap across his face "after what you did you have no right looking at her, keep on moving b***h" Kaily did all that as she pushed him to make sure he gets out "Oh I hope you rot and die in jail" Vihaan looked at her and moved to the police car with officer Clarcky. " We will stay in touch Mr and Miss Armstrong, thank you for your corporation" detective Yaas said that as he left their resident.

When the forensic men took out the corpse of Chanice kaily threw herself but before she could reach the ground Mike caught her and she fell in the arms of her lover and she felt safe. Every vehicle left the resident but not the reporters who were fishing for news to publish. Mike picked her up silently and took her to the living room and he laid her down by the couch, "Cindy will make you something to eat am going to the chemist to get you medicine to calm you down, Ok?" kaily looked at him "No stay with me until I fall asleep, don't leave me yet" she said this while her tears were flowing to the side of her face " Ok babe anything for you" Mike sat down next to the couch where his lover was laying and he kissed her on her forehead and watched her as she tried to fall asleep.

"Can I help with something?" David asked Cindy who was now in the kitchen cleaning the blood of Chanice "No I've got this don't worry Chanice was like a daughter to me I don't mind doing this" Cindy smiled as she said this and carried on cleaning, "Well I'm going for a walk to clear my head I'll be back and while at that please take care of Ashmerald for me" " without a doubt I'll do that Sir take as much time as you need but do come back for lunch" added Cindy, he nodded his head and went out.
