Chapter 98: Chapter 98

I moved back, feeling sad about the news that I had to hold my stomach, as though the news was affecting the unborn child.

Craig looked shocked, but I was his top priority. He ensured he was holding me, but he didn't take it lightly with Mary.

"How dare you say a thing like that to her, seeing her condition? He flare up, before she could explain, I was already back ok the bed, and still holding on to my stomach, which seem to be connected in the pain I was feeling in my heart.

Get out! He yelled at her, and she rushed out.

I know she didn't mean any harm, but she probably didn't think I would be hurt by it.

Edward being dead, shouldn't be my problem, I shouldn't be worried about it, He wasn't a great husband or awesome Dad. He was everything you can call wrong, but I am kind of worried. I fought so that he won't be killed and what did I gain in return, he still died.

"Joe killed him! I said out loud, but Craig said nothing, he didn't look so worried, it was more like he had expected such a thinv to be said.

I was so angry with Joe, but the pain I was feeling, would not even let me look into Craig's already angry eyes. When I was finally able to speak, I asked.

"Did you already know he was dead? I wanted to know, if he had gotten the information, maybe from the news or something and he didn't tell me, maybe because he feels that telling me will hurt me as it is hurting me already.

"I haven't heard anything, and even if I have heard it before now, I surely wouldn't have told you anything, because I am trying to avoid something like this. I wouldn't want this sort of reaction. You didn't need such a news, and may I remind you. You no longer have any connection with Edward, you have done the best you can for him and since it didn't work out that way, you shouldn't bother yourself". He warned me sternly.

"He is the father of Whitney, don't you think she will worry? I asked, for he was sounding like a mean billionaire, who cares less for other people.

"You are very sweet, and kind, to people you shouldn't even be kind and sweet to, but telling me to my face that my daughter is his daughter, I really wouldn't take it.

He cannot be the father of Whitney, if he abused her physically. He cannot be a good husband, if he pushed you out to suffer alone for five good years and I certainly cannot relate, with someone like that. He was so angry, and since it looked like I wasn't paying attention to him, for I kept nodding my head, that he just would nit understand things from my perspective. He kept quiet, then I told him, what got him even angrier.

"I want to be left alone". He was shocked, but he had to respect my decision.

He wasn't getting me, and I didn't want to anger him more, by crying for the dead, I also didn't want him to worry about my health, which was why I told him to leave. He left the room and slammed the door angrily against me, and I jerked a bit.

He even punched the wall, I felt hurt that he was hurt. He should understand, I just want to mourn my ex husband. I was just getting comfortable on the bed when my phone started ringing, it was Joe, he was just the person I wanted to speak to. I stared at the phone for a long while and didn't take the call, because I really do not know what he is calling for.

I begged him to spare Edward and forgive him, especially since he found Joan alive, yet he still killed him.

I have been so relaxed that Joan is alive, so if Joe loves her that much, he could get back together with her, but he had to revenge, and now he was calling? but Why call, Oh yes I know, maybe to ask me if I have seen the news or explain why he still had to kill him after all my plea.

My phone started ringing almost Immediately, the first call ended and I knew he is the person calling back, I took the call almost as quickly as it started ringing.

"You have killed him, why then are you calling me? I asked. He could hear the hurt from my voice.

"That is exactly why I am calling. I am as shocked as you are. I didn't kill him, I am sure you heard the news, that I dumped him and Joan at a nearby market, weeks ago, he was very much alive, apart from the leg injury, he was fine. He was killed by someone else, who is trying to frame me".

"Lier! I screamed. No one else wanted him dead but you, you are the one that harboured so much hate in your heart, because he fucked your bitch of a wife! I kept screaming at him, but he sounded really calm.

"I swear Sam, I didn't kill Edward. I know he deserves to die, but I didn't. It wasn't really because you asked me not to kill me, but also because I still see him as my brother. I didn't want to get angry because of one incident, or because of a bitch, and forget that I used to call him brother once, so I left him to live, but now, he is dead, and I am as angry as you are, the news is calling me out, and now they are going to drag me out, but I didn't do it". He was sounding sure that he didn't do it, which was quite convincing. He owes me no explanation, if he didn't do it, and he has said he didn't, then I am sure he didn't. And I guess I know him well enough, to be brutal that if he wants to kill him and he kills him, he wouldn't try to explain to me, saying he didn't, he will be blunt about it, he will kill him, so maybe he is correct, maybe he didn't kill him, maybe someone else did, but who could be so mean as to end the life of an already broken man. While I was still thinking about who could have possibly, carried out such an act, I heard his cold voice.

I have my suspects, I will find out and bring the person to justice". I wanted to know the person or persons he is suspecting, and so I asked.

"Give me the name of the person that killed Edward". He didn't hesitate to answer, it as though he has his fact outlined.

"My first suspect, is your husband Craig". Hearing that annoyed me, so much that I yelled at him again.

"Lier! He would never do that! I said, but he had something else to say.

"I have a proof of him, visiting him at the hospital at least today, and he was very mean to him, only for him to die today, he is out first suspect, and I am sure today. I am sure, today is not the only day he had visited him, today is just the day we saw him, he must have threatened him before now, and maybe he still feels threatened by him, he went today to finalize everything by killing him". I couldn't believe my ears, he saw Edward today, and he didn't say anything about it? And for Joe to sound so convincing, pointing fingers at him, maybe he actually did kill him? I just cannot believe my ears, I forced myself out of the bed, grabbed the handle of the door and swung it open. Behold, Craig was standing outside the door, he had been eavesdropping all the while. I stared into his guilty eyes and asked.

"Why did you kill him?
