Woke Up Married

Sad News - Part 2

"Who is in charge here?" the guard asked as soon as he entered the station.

The two officers at the front desk lifted their eyes to look at the person who had asked the question. Standing in front of them was a handsome man in a very expensive tuxedo with a royal seal on the left side of his chest.

"What do you want?" asked one officer after looking at him up and down, not paying attention to the royal seal.

The guard brought out his badge and showed it to him, "That woman cannot stay here. She belongs to my boss" he announced.

The other officer saw the royal seal and quickly alerted his colleague.

"He is a guard from the Haward family. What should we do?" the officer asked, "I don't want any trouble," he whispered to the other officer who was standing close to him.

"Why are you arresting the daughter of the woman who has been killed?" the guard asked them and they went silent.

"Are you blind or stupid or just lazy?" the guard questioned and again his question was met with silence. "Who is your boss?" he enquired.

"Who is looking for me?" came a voice from inside, which was followed by an averagely tall man with a potbelly.

"Are you the one in charge here?" asked the guard.

"Yes, what do you want?" replied the officer who had just walked in, resting his hands on the reception desk as he looked squarely at the guard.

"Did you know your men arrested and brought to your station a lady whose mother had been murdered?" the guard asked him.

"Finding this lady in question unconscious did not communicate anything but they rather went ahead to arrest her with no evidence pointing to the fact that she may have a hand in her own mother's death," the guard said.

"Yeah, there was a murder in her house and she is a prime suspect. Do you want us to handcuff you instead?" the officer replied, but realized he didn't ask him who he was to have that boldness to talk to him like that.

"But who are you?' the officer enquired.

"That is the question you should have asked before giving me that answer," replied the guard.

The guard pulled out his phone and sent a message. In less than 5 minutes, the officer received a call.

"Yes, sir," the officer said after answering the call and bringing the phone to his ears.

"No, sir," the officer said.

"Please, sir," the officer said, and the call ended.

The other two officers looked at the officer in charge as his face changed from a deep frown and gradually turned solemn while talking on the phone.

Lowering his head, the officer said to the other two officers behind the desk, "Set the lady free,"

The officer in charge then removed his badge and gun, gave them to one of the officers at the reception and exited the station. Just like that, he was fired, surprising the two officers behind the reception desk. One of them quickly went to get Julia from the prison cell and brought her to the guard.

"Did he just get our boss fired?" asked the other officer in a whisper.

"Yes, he works for the Haward family, even their maid can get you fired" replied the officer in a whisper as the guard exited the station holding Julia by the arm. Julia just walked like a zombie.

"Talk of rich, influential and powerful," commented another officer.

"Yeah, they get away with everything," commented another officer.

"But I know that girl. How did she get involved with them?" one officer asked.

"She is beautiful, I am sure she is the boss's bed warmer," replied another.

Outside of the station, the guard put Julia into the car and strapped her in the back seat. He drove close to an hour to get to Southwest Ranches City. He made the next turn towards the apartment. Once at the apartment, he got Julia out of the car, holding her by the arms. The guard led Julia to the 6th-floor apartment and entered the living room with her.

Jason descended the staircase and entered the living room upon hearing the guard had arrived with Julia. Upon entering the living room, he found the guard standing there with Julia, who seemed to be disconnected from the world. She stares blankly at nothing. Jason looked at Julia carefully and instructed one of the servants to take her to the guest room which had been prepared earlier for her. The guard turned to leave.

"Find out who murdered her mother," Jason said to the guard before going back to his room.

The servant took Julia to her room and made her sit on the bed before leaving. Julia remained seated on the bed staring blankly at the wall. Some food was sent to Julia but she would not eat or speak to anyone.

Jason was in his room when he heard a knock on his door.

"Come in," Jason said, and the servant entered and stood at the door, creating a good distance between herself and Jason, who sat on the chair.

"Sir," she said and bowed first, "She will not eat," she informed Jason.

"It's only been a day, just let her be. She will eat tomorrow," Jason said, and dismissed the servant.

Once Jason was done with what he was working on, he stepped out of his room and went to Julia's room. Julia was sitting on the bed staring blankly at nothing.

"Such a reaction is understandable; she just lost her mother in a barbarous way," Jason thought, leaning on the door frame and looking at Julia carefully.

Jason took some steps towards Julia and stood next to her. He lifted her head, placing his finger under her chin. He stared into her gorgeous eyes and all he could read was pain. Julia was hurting badly but could not react. Jason pressed the bell in the room for a servant and one rushed in quickly.

"Get her to lie down and stay with her," Jason instructed, and exited the room knowing Julia could sit till morning in that condition.

The servant helped Julia change into something comfortable and made her lie on the bed as instructed and the servant prepared to sleep on the sofa inside the room.

Julia lay on the bed, memories of her mother and her together came flooding her mind. She didn't know who her father was as she had never met him and her mother never spoke about him. It has been just the two of them and now her mother is gone, leaving her alone.

With these thoughts, her tears began to flow down her cheeks uncontrollably.
