VOWS OF VENGEANCE

‎I stood before the mirror admiring myself, I was dressed in a red knee-length dress that hugged my curves beautifully, it has a large cleavage and straps shaped In a x shape making it more alluring, tonight is going to be great, I planned to surprise my fiancee, to celebrate the paradox hotel contract being awarded to us. I met Kevin five years ago when I just got out of college, he was sweet, calm, soft and handsome, he was everything a girl could wish for, we had so much in common, one of them being that we would owned a business together, it was tough initially but we finally scaled though, now we were able too bag the contract to design the interior and exterior of hotel paradox. ‎ ‎I smiled at my reflection satisfied with my work, Kevin is gonna be thrilled. I slowly walk to the bed, grab my phone to call Kevin, as though we shared the same thoughts, the phone rang and it was Kevin calling, a huge smile graced my face. ‎ ‎"Hello honey, I was just about to call......" ‎"Amira listen", Kevin interrupted me, his voice sounded scared and anxious,"I need you to come to creed avenue, come with a fresh clothes, hurry please or u might lose me". ‎ ‎"Kevin what happened, talk to me", rather the response I got was the beeping of the phone signalling the end of the call. I immediately took my car keys and rushed to creed avenue. ‎ ‎___________________________ ‎ ‎I parked the car and made my way to the car that looked like Kevin's car, I don't understand but I felt scared, something wasn't right but I don't know what it is. ‎I rushed toward the car. ‎"Kev, what is going on, oh my God", I shrieked immediately I took in the sight before me, before Kevin, laid Aisha, a friend and colleague, she was bleeding and from the looks of it she was dead."Kev...uhm...Kevin, what is this, what happened, oh my God". ‎ ‎Kevin stood up immediately, "Amira, please I didn't mean to do this, it was a mistake, I swear". ‎ ‎I took a step back, still in shook, my head was trying to wrap it self around what I am seeing, my Kevin killed Aisha. once I seem to have gotten over the shock, I rushed to the car, I got the change of clothes I prepared for him. ‎"Here, change into this, I am going to drag her towards the bush, give me the gun, we need to leave this place before the cops get here". ‎I sprung into action immediately atleast, I need to get the situation into control before any other thing. I dragged Aisha dead body to the small patch of bushes, that will hide her for a while, I stood beside the once beautiful girl, looking at what has become of her and tears rolled down my chin. ‎ ‎"Amira, we need to leave now", Kevin grabbed my arm, "we do not want to attract unnecessary attention to ourselves right". ‎ ‎I recoiled from his touch, but I regain my composure almost immediately,no matter what I thought, Kevin is right. I slowly made my way to my car while Kevin followed behind. ‎ ‎__________________________ ‎ ‎Immediately, Kevin shut the door to our condo, I turned sharply to him seeking for some sort of explanation. ‎"Kevin", I called in a still voice, "what happened, how did Aisha wind up dead". ‎"Amira, you need to calm down", he reached out to me. ‎"Don't f*****g tell me that, Aisha was our friend and you murdered her and I am an accomplice". ‎"Amira", he called again trying to calm me. ‎"No.....no", at this point, tears filled my eyes, Kevin tried holding me again but I pushed him away, "don't touch me, you criminal". ‎Before I could say another way, I felt a resounding slap across my face, I held my face, shivering In shock, I turned to face Kevin, he was staring just as surprised as I was. ‎I turned on my heels and made my way to my room, behind me, I felt him trying to stop me, when he realized it was a futile effort, he begun calling out to me, maybe to reason with me. ‎ ‎I locked my door, though I know that won't stop Kevin from coming in but I need some time alone to think, process everything. Right now, I can't explain how I feel at the moment, maybe grief or is it confusion, or guilt, I can't decipher but what ever it is, it is suffocating. ‎I heard the clanking of keys at the background, I knew Kevin was gonna come in. "Amira, can we please talk, please baby, I need you to understand what happened". ‎ ‎I wanted to ignore him but if I wanted to know what happened, I needed to listen to him, so I sat facing Kevin. ‎ ‎"So, why did you do it". ‎"I didn't mean to kill her, it was self defense". ‎"Self defense, why would you want to defend yourself from Aisha". ‎Kevin cautiously walked towards the bed and made his self comfortable, he reached out and held my hand. ‎ ‎"Aisha stole some company documents, and tried blackmailing me, honey, she wanted me to break up with you, she wanted me for herself, honey, I wanted to protect you, protect us, so I tried using force to get the documents but she had a gun, one thing led to another I was trying to get the gun away from her and the gun went off". ‎Kevin clearly regretted his actions, he looked scared, but deep down it was still difficult to believe, Aisha didn't seem like the kind of girl to do this, she was sweet and kind and she cared for everyone but like they said you never know what goes on in the minds of people. I looked at Kevin and he had tears in his eyes, I reached out and hugged him. ‎"I am sorry I said all those harsh words to you". ‎"It is fine, you were overwhelmed". ‎I made a vow within my self, I will love Kevin and support him now more than ever, we will be together forever or so I thought ‎
