The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 150

Hilbrow was every woman’s nightmare and for Liam to say that he would take her there , that shocked her a bit.

Even so she wasn’t going to back down and apologize, she did what she did and did not regret it one bit.

She hated Ciara to the core and was never going to give her a genuine apology as she was not sorry at all that had happened.

” I know for a fact that they don’t have anything against me so I’ll take my chances. The only way you can stop is if I die and bring that b**ch down with me.”

Hearing her call his wife by that word infuriated Liam so he immediately grabbed on to her shirt and was about to punch her when Finnick entered.

” Not now man, not now.”

He shook his head as he warned him about the consequences.

” Ok Miss I’m here to take your statement, I hope that you do cooperate with us.”

“Well officer I think you’ve got the wrong person here, I’ve never done anything against the law in my life. If you don’t have anything else to say and if you are not charging me with anything please hurry up and release me”

Finnick looked at her as she was acting like an entitled rich woman.

” Unfortunately we have charged you with attempted murder and being in possession of an illegal drug. If the court replaces you guilty of those charges which it will, the court may charge you a sentence between 15 to 20 years and we both know that will not be good for you.”

Boity stood up abruptly and was pulled down by the cuffs on her hand as she had forgotten that her hand wasn’t mobile.

” To hell with that, I have no idea what you are talking about. I have never touched any drugs in my life, so why will I be in possession of it now. Tell me where did you replace those drugs?”

She was now performing like a professional, and one would think that she was innocent of the crimes she was being accused of.

” you and I know very well what I’m talking about here, let’s not waste each other’s time. It’s either you plead guilty or just accept that you’ll spend the rest of your life behind bars.”

” Rest of my life, why? I didn’t kill anyone nor did I attempt to. You know what, I want to talk to my lawyer.”

Finnick passed over a phone so that she could make a call to her lawyer, but what she had forgotten was that she had used almost all her money on that expensive hotel and room service and right now she could not afford her lawyer’s rate.

She then dialed a cheaper one but that one too chickened out as soon as he heard that it was a case were the Jones were involved. All he said was,

” I’m sorry ma’am but this is not a case that I can take, please replace someone else who can help you.”

She threw the phone on the table and sighed in frustration.

” I’m telling you now that there is no confession that you’ll get from me, I didn’t do it.”

” Suit yourself, but do know that the man that you were working with have confessed to everything and is willing to testify against you.”

Right then the thin layer of sweat that had formed from when they told her the possible sentence was now clearly visible and panic was written all over her face.

She knew right then that she’ll be facing prison time one way or the other, but she was far too gone with her lies that she just couldn’t admit to it and was willing to try her luck in court maybe the judge will see and understand her story.

What she didn’t know and wasn’t aware of is that even if she was to get out of that interrogation room scot free, she was surely never going to be able to live comfortably in that city.

Everyone was angry and demanded justice for their favorite author.

The news of her arrest was currently being broadcasted on every news channels and blogs, and all those who have been following up with the two cousins they knew very well that the fued started a long time ago, with Boity being the one to harm Ciara all the time.

” Fine we will leave you here for tonight, think about your decision and an officer will move you to your prison cell tomorrow where you’ll stay until your court hearing on Monday.”

They then both left, leaving her alone in that cold room.

After exchanging a few words with Finnick they both returned home, one to his wife and the other to his daughter.

By the time he arrived at the Jones family residence it was already passed midnight and his daughter was already sleeping in his older room. He went in and kissed her, then watched over her till he too fell asleep on his old bed next to the baby cort.

After everyone had left the hospital after visiting hours was over, Ciara found it hard to fall back to sleep, the events of the day kept on playing in her mind over and over again everytime she tried to close her eyes.

Since she had been sleeping the entire day, she decided to just get out of her bed and walk around.

” Mrs Jones It’s passed midnight, you cannot be moving around like that, you need to rest.”

The night nurse told her as she spotted Ciara coming out of her room.

” But I’ve been sleeping the whole day I just need to walk a little, I’ll just go to the restaurant downstairs and get something to eat then come back.”

Since she wouldn’t be long and would remain within the premises of he hospital the nurse agreed.

A bodyguard followed her behind as she started walking and the second one remained behind to make sure that nobody entered her room.

She took a lift to the restaurant floor and when she got there she bought herself a full meal of pork ribs and chips, then asked the body guard to pick something for himself and his colleague who was left behind, and the man did just that.

They then went back to their floor, as they walked along the corridor she noticed that Dexter was also alone in that room so she looked down at her meal and thought it was big enough for the two of them.

” You can go back before your food gets cold, I just want to see how he is doing .”

The man shook his head as he was against the suggestion, although he was starving and would love to enjoy a warm meal at that time, his main priority was to make sure that his lady boss was safe at all time.

” That’s not possible ma’am, you can’t leave my sight at all. You can go in and I will just wait here, we can always warm up the food again.”

She was in no mood to debate with the man over something so simple, so she just nodded her heard and walked in.

” You also couldn’t sleep?”

The man’s voice came up as she walked inside and saw Dexter busy scrolling on his phone as he talked to her.

” Yeah, I guess it’s a sleepless night huh. I brought something to eat incase you are hungry”

She said that as she lifted up her hand that was holding the plastic container with food.

” Owh all of that for me?, you are so thoughtful, you have no idea how starving I am right now. I can devour all of it in one go.”
