A BRIDE AND HER REVENGE

Chapter6

My mind quickly took me back to this morning when I heard Charlotte and Oscar discussing, she was asking him for some money from the money carriage he brought home a few days ago.

“Wait… there’s money at home, I will get it for you, meanwhile tell Lucy that her sister is now Oscars’ wife and she shouldn’t bother to come home with you… I will send the money to the address, text it to me,” I hurriedly ended the call.

There’s CCTV in the house and making calls for a long time like this will call attention to Oscar. He knows I hardly call anybody and talk for long, except with Alex.

He also has the CCTV implanted in various areas in the house, he can watch from his phone or various offices at any of his numerous companies, smart boy, unlike my foolish son who I’m putting my life on the line for!.

…..

……

“You don’t have to question her again Oscar, she took the money, she must have sneaked past your CCTV camera, you let her sleep once in your bedroom when she was sick, remember?” I knew I had to frame Charlotte or else the suspicion will be blown toward me.

“Aunty lily, I didn’t steal any money, I was with Grandma Susan all day. We watched cartoons, slept and ..,” she was crying and breathing heavily, looking at Oscar’s’ Grandma for some support and I couldn’t let that happen.

Oscar had already called the police. This time his anger was overboard, blinded with rage. The Lucy incident made him extra disappointed and frustrated.

“Are you all thieves in your house?, I believe Aunty Lily because I have never looked for money in the house up until your sister and yourself came into my life,” he growled at her.

Bouncing toward her but Grandma Susan blocked his part with her old body, trying to calm him down.

“Take this woman and lock her up.. now!” he screamed at them, I watched in excitement as the three policemen scrambled toward Charlotte who was trying to flee from the scene still on her knees.

She was crying hysterically and I, on the other hand, was having too much fun. She had been Messing with me for some days now, almost throwing her weight around because she noticed that Oscar was beginning to take interest in her.

Trying to know her better my foot! “She asked you for some huge amount of money this morning before leaving for work, right?” I tried another approach again to ignite Oscar's already burning anger.

“Aunty Lily, she asked for her Grandmother's surgery payment and I ignored her, intentionally just to spite her and force her to talk to me… she had been giving me the silent treatment… , but it was the first thing I did this morning When I got to work… why will you degrade yourself like this and steal from me?” His question was directed to Charlotte again, holding her arm just as the police men made to drag her away.

She had been handcuffed by the police and Grandma Susan was by her side, trying to comfort her and plead on her behalf as well.

Maybe it’s high time I make sure she doesn’t return to the mansion, my son will be back soon and I don’t need her anymore, once he’s back we can move on to killing oscar as well.

Charlotte knows I’m framing her but can she prove it? Oscar will always take my words over hers or his old Grandmother, over anybody in the world, it’s enough to kill him.

“Just when I thought you were different from your sister. Charlotte you break my heart again,” this time it was Oscar talking to her, he didn’t bother to hide the feeling of hurt and love in his eyes,

I watched in shock as a tear rolled down his eyes, he removed his hand from hers as the police took Charlotte away, finally breathing out in relief, I thought he would stop them.

I almost laughed out loud as I watched Grandma Susan run after the police van, “let me see how much her old and weak leg can carry her.”
