Rejected Wife Of The President

Accused Of Murder

POV: Valerie

“Sarah… why?” I asked in confusion, staring at her with hate as she shamelessly cuddled with my husband before my eyes.

“Get out!” Travis yelled at me, pointing to the door and asking me to leave. I wanted to leave, I was already walking out when I realized that they have no right to send me out of the ladies restroom.

“No, Travis. I think I’m done being the better sister. I’m done with this lies and foolishness, I won’t let you trample on my dignity and still treat me like trash. I came here to wash these stain off my dress and that is exactly what I’m going to do!” I let out sternly, glaring daggers at my sister.

“And you Sarah, what makes you think I will let you get away with these lies?” I asked her, fixing my room her. But she didn’t wait for me to say another word, she started sobbing again, crying like a spoiled brat in my husbands arms.

“Don’t be mad at her, Travis, she is still your wife. I don’t want to be the reason why you two are fighting. Don’t blame her, Travis, it’s all my fault. I have to stop loving you, I need to sacrifice my happiness for my sister.” She let out in that pathetic tone that made me want to believe her and even pity her.

“Don’t blame yourself for something that is clearly not your fault. She is not my wife because we are getting divorced and I will steal you back from my brother.” He told her firmly, leaning to kiss her lips.

“Let’s get back to the party, I have an announcement to make,” he told her, picking her up in his arms and taking her out of the restroom. As he walked away with her, she turned to look at me, smirking proudly as if she just won a medal. I never even knew it was a competition, why would I want to compete with her when I know that he has never gotten over her?

“Don’t cry, Val…

You are strong!

You will be fine, everything will be fine,” I told myself, going over to the sink to wipe the stain off my dress with wet towels. But the stain refused to get off, and I heard a loud noise from the banquet hall that made me leave everything I was doing and run back to the hall to find out what was going on. As soon as I got to the banquet hall, everyone turned to me and glared at me, making me feel uncomfortable.

“How could you do this, Valerie, what did I ever do to you?” Sarah sobbed hysterically, holding her heart in shock. I stood there like a moron, staring as the crowd whispered nasty things about me, calling me jealous and vindictive.

“What is it this time!” I thought within me, wondering what she is up to this time.

“I only asked you to sit by Basil for a few minutes while I speak to Travis on your behalf like you asked me to. How could you poison my husband, did I ever ask you to hurt him?” Sarah continued lamenting sadly.

“I know I was having issues with Basil and we were going to be divorced soon. But that doesn’t mean that he has to die, does it?” she asked me, glaring at me with her eyes filled with tears. I looked past the crowd and I spotted Basil lying on the huge dining table, his body unmoving. It was at that moment that I knew that something is wrong with him and for some reason, Sarah thinks I did it.

“What are you saying, Sarah?

How dare you accuse me of murder, is that how much you detest me?

And why do you think I would kill your husband, what do I stand to gain from killing the one person who can take you away from my husband?” I asked her, earning a deep frown. Her mourning face switched to a furious glare that made me wonder if she has something to do with what is happening to Basil her husband.

“She is right, boss. I reviewed the camera footage and I got this clip from the security footage.” Justin let out sadly, handing his tablet to Travis. I watched as Travis stared at the tabled in shock, his eyes looking my way every often.

“How do you plan to lie your way out of this one?” Travis asked me, handing the tablet to me. I watched a video clip of me bringing out something from my purse and adding it to his drink when he wasn’t looking. It was me in that video, I could tell that it was me but I never did this. I don’t remember ever carrying such a substance in my purse. I have never seen that substance in my life.

“The cops will be here soon to take you away. I won’t let you get away with this.” Travis told me sternly as the People started booing and throwing random things at me. They wanted to know what I used to poison him and where I purchased such a substance. But I have no response to give them and that only added to their anger. To prove my innocence, I opened my purse to show them that I had no secret substance in my purse.

As soon as I opened my purse, the substance fell to the floor, making the crowd go wide in shock. I picked it up in surprise, staring at it as if it just fell off the sky. Travis grabbed it from me and placed a call immediately, calling the pharmaceutical outlet that deals on these dangerous drugs. The name of the company is boldly written on the body and he called them immediately, demanding for their customer details and date the drug was purchased.

As he made that call, I caught a glimpse of Sarah smiling victoriously as Justin smirked at her proudly. It was at that moment that I realized that Justin and Sarah are working together to set me up with the murder of Basil Hamilton, Sarah’s husband.

Turns out that my sisters husband was murdered and they pinned it on me, turning the crowd against me and calling her a murderer. The poison used to kill her brother was traced to a pharmacy and her credit card paid for the purchase of the poison. When the pharmaceutical outlet confirmed that my card was used to purchase the poison, my mind went back to the day Sarah asked me to make payment for a package she ordered.

She had been planning this for a while now. She must hate me very much to the extent of plotting the death of her husband just to punish me for trying to win Travis heart. Now I know why Justin spilled his drink on me. He wasn’t just trying to be mean to me, he did it to get his hands on my purse and slip the drugs into my purse. They both want me out of Travis life, and I think they finally succeeded. I have nothing to say in my defense, the only thing I could think of is my baby. What is going to happen to my baby if I get thrown into jail?
