Mummy I got you a new husband

SOPHIE’S POV.

” He is at the office right now, but you can tell me anything.” I said to them, anxious about what they had found out about the case. I knew all of my tricks to stall them from knowing the truth was not going to hold for long, but I figured that before they found out, the contract between Karl and I would have been done and then, even if Karl found the truth it would not matter.

” I am sorry ma’am, we have strict instructions to talk to him alone.” One of the officers responded and I stared at him displeased by his comment.” What did he mean that he had to talk to Karl alone?” I questioned myself still staring at them. I knew I had to convince them somehow and went on to talk to them so they could tell me what I wanted to know.

” Well, I was there when it happened and I am his wife.” I chuckled as I tried to make them see reasons and talk to me about who they had found. I needed to find out about this Ryan and his link to the case.

” I am so sorry, but we cannot act in contradiction with the instructions, so sorry ma’am.” They said as they turned to leave. I could not just let them go, I needed to know what they had found out about the robbery.” What do I do? I thought to myself asni watched them take their leave and there I knew I had to do something fast since they were adamant about saying anything about the case to me and insisted that Karl had given them strict instructions not to divulge the details of the case to anyone.

Karl has said he had given them the drive so what was all of the secrecy about, I wondered.

“You should come in and have some coffee first, I am sure Karl is on his way back home.” I said as I smiled at them, I hope they obliged and came in so I could get the answers I wanted from them. They looked hesitant at first, not wanting to come in.

” Please, let me treat you to something nice, it would be so wrong to have you come around and you were not served anything, I assure you this is not a bother.” I said still smiling hoping thatwas enough talk to convince them.

” Alright if you insist.” They said as they turned to walked into the house. ” I insist, welcome to my home.” I said as they made their way to have a sit on the sofa.

I hurried in and got some coffee for them and they drank excitedly. ” This is one good coffee you have here. This is the best I have had in a while.” One of the officers say as he sipped his coffee. I smirked at their praise for the coffee and I served them, ” I hope you could share your secret recipe.” The other said as I laughed at their jokes. I needed some information so I played along faking a grin.

” About the case, I am sure getting this Ryan was not a tough one owing to your diligence and good work.” I said and they giggled in excitement, the officer who seemed to be the one who was senior ranked among them spoke first, trying to be humbly and giving credit to the fact that they were just doing their jobs. ” What can we say, we do our jobs diligently.” He responded.

” Morons, diligent my foot.” I whispered to myself, “How were you able to get the guy?” I questioned and they went on about how they had gotten some evidence, and how Karl had rendered some assistance in making the job easier and now that they had arrested him, they wanted to inform Karl about the situation of things.

” Oh, that is so thoughtful of you. I am such he would be so proud.” I smirked, I already knew that they had caught someone but how did they find him, I was definitely going to make them tell me what I wanted to hear.

” How were you able to link him to the robbery.” I asked again and they told me they had seen him through the cameras at the front door. I smirked again and tried to hide my atonishment. “If they had seen Ryan through the cameras how come no one was talking about me.” I puzzled and tried to hide my uneasiness about what was actually happening.

I had gotten what I wanted and wanted them out of the house so I could go ahead with my plan.

” You should leave, I am tired, you could meet him at the office and tell him everything about the case.” I said finally as I motioned for them to leave, they were somewhat surprised by my reaction but did not question it as they stood up to leave immediately.

As soon as they were out. I shut the door and sat down on the sofa wondering as I replayed the stories the police had just told me in my mind.

“Ryan” I wondered, How was Ryan involved in this case? And what was he doing at the house on that day.” I puzzled. I sat on the sofa unable to decide for sure what to do.” And how did no one see me leave and return to the house?” I questioned as I laid on the sofa. This was becoming to complex for me and I did not know what to do. I knew for sure there had been no robbery, Having Ryan arrested for nothing worried me, I thought about the possibility of confessing and not allowing an innocent man go to jail but decided against it.

” This was going to be the start of my revenge, besides he deserved it.” I reassured myself not letting my conscience prick me for trying to harm an innocent man.

Soon enough, Karl returned home from the office. I tried to maintain a straight expression trying to hide my uneasiness as he got in.

I noticed he had a worried expression and questioned whether he was all right. “Is everything okay?” Did something happen at the office? I enquired, and he assured me that he was alright.

” I am just exhausted, Sophie.” He said as he turned to face me; “and about the job you asked for, you have been hired. You will be working as my secretary beginning tomorrow.” He said and turned to walked up the room.

” Did I hear him right?” I thought to myself, I was excited that I was given the opportunity to work at Karl office, an opportunity to enact my revenge. I could not hide the joy I felt.

” I have a job.” I jumped excitedly. ” Thank you Karl, I promise you would not regret this. I said again in a low time, I didn’t want to disturb the kids who I had just picked from school. I was going to share the good news with Selene later.

” Well, I better not, dnt raise your hopes to high. This is temporary, just till my secretary resumes alright.” He said and I nodded in affirmation. ” Alright boss.” I said and stood with my hand on my head. He giggled and shakes his head as he watched me, ” Another thing, I would not be paying you, I am already paying you too much for the role of a wife. Agreed?” He asked me and even though I was hesitant about it, I agreed as it was not just about money, it was about revenge. ” Yes, agreed.” I responded as I smirked and Karl headed up the stairs to the room.

This temporary job was more than enough time to work through my plans and make everyone pay. I smirked as I thought about my next move.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
