I'm currently sitting at the other side of the glass from the police interrogation room. The suspect was sitting at the small chair with handcuffs.
“Who are you?” the police officer started. The man was just looking at the table without making eye contact.
He smirked. He couldn't make any eye contact with the officer.
“I will repeat, who are you?” the police officer stated. His hands were trembling, but his face was like he doesn't have any problems.
“My name is Liam Riego,” the man replied. My eyes widened. It's her father, her biological father.
“We noticed that you're trembling, are you afraid of telling the truth?” the officer asked while looking at the suspect.
My heart starts to race like something was chasing me, and I should escape that thing.
“No? I'm not sure,” he laughed. He suddenly stopped when the officer put the papers on the table.
“Do you know these girls? Who are they?” I assumed that it's photos of different people.
He glanced at the photos and pointed them one by one. His emotions suddenly changed for a moment.
“Zoe Amethyst Riego, and Historia Carolina, the girl at the right was my wife, and the girl on the other side was my daughter.”
In my opinion, he's starting to tell the truth.
“Where's your daughter?” He shrugged his shoulder, and he puts his arm on the table.
“I don't know, the last time that I know, I let my brother raised her since her mother died, I think I already told it, I can't remember when, or where, but I'm sure that I already told about it,” he explained while looking at the officer.
His eyes were wide open. I glanced at his side of the head. Beads of sweat are dripping on his face.
“I heard that you're wife died at the strangulation, and stabbing to its chest, do you know who did that to your wife?” He became silent from the next question to him.
He leaned his back on the chair, and I heard his heavy breath.
“What do you think, Officer? I don't know!” he replied. The officer looked at him with a serious look.
“The fingerprints, and footprints were found at the crime scene, those were matched by you,” the officer stated while remaining calm at the chair.
“Could you please explain it to us? Why did you kill your wife? What happened to your relationship? What was your real reason for killing her? Does someone command you to do it? Answer me!” The man closed his eyes.
He slammed his hands on the table, and as a result of that, the noise echoes at every corner of the room.
All of a sudden, his eyes were welled up in tears. When I'm looking at his eyes, I can see some loneliness and sorrows.
He doesn't want what he did in the past.
Zhian Azrael was right, the man had some mark on his face.
“Fine! I k-killed her, I don't know what exactly happened that time, all I can remember was I'm filming the happenings while saying my confession, a-and I won't deny that I tortured her by hitting some large wood planks, large pipes, pulling her nails from her fingers, extracting the teeth, and strangle her multiple times.”
The tears started to flow on his face from his eyes.
“What else? Tell me the truth, someone commanded you?” the officer asked once again. He nodded as a sign of his answer.
“Who are they? Can you recall their names?” He glanced directly to the officer's eyes.
“Let me tell you something, my wife was the ex-wife of the owner of one of the large companies, I found out that they are secretly meeting up with each other, they didn't think that they already have a family,” he stated while grinning.
“I don't know if Zoe Amethyst was still my real daughter, because she's still cheating on me! They didn't think what will happen if their spouses found out their secret relationship!” His voice was slowly rising.
“Until one day, his real wife found out their relationship, and she told me about it, she pleaded me that do something to separate them, and don't let them see each other.”
He's glaring at his handcuffs, his lips pressed together, and turned into a thin line.
“The time has come, I talked to my brother, which was the assistant of my wife's secret lover, at first I'm mad at him because he didn't tell me about it, but he explained that he doesn't know it because his job was only inside of the company, it's not his job to follow him, and know his private life.”
He looked at the ceiling, “So, you killed her because of jealousy?” the officer questioned. He doesn't reply to him.
He laughed nervously, “When she gets home, I hit her nape, that resulted in unconscious Historia, I pulled her body until I reached our basement, I put some chains on her feet, and hands, and let her sat at the chair,” he said with a low tone voice.
“I start filming it! The camera, last time I could remember that someone was stealing it from me! So, when I caught the thief, I do to him what I did to my wife! The criminals need to pay their punishment right?” He laughed, while his eyes were crying.
He starts to pulling his hair, and slamming the table, the officer stood up. Good thing that he was handcuffed, and his body was not able to move from the chair.
“What's the name of the wife of your wife's secret lover?” He suddenly stopped and looked at the officer.
“Would you let me talk to her? I'm going to thank her for supporting my plan for my wife,” he murmured.
The goosebumps are crawling to my body, especially to my nape when his terrifying laugh echoes inside the room.
“I'm just going to recall her name, give me some time! Please?” he pleaded. His emotions were going to be different at any second, or minute.
He's going to laugh and cry at the same time. He will be going to be calm, and mad at the same point.
After the moment of revelation, I decided to go to our school to search for Sammy. I want to eat some lunch with her since I left her at the office last time.
I awkwardly scratched my head when I remember something that I need to forget.
I sent some messages to her, and I will wait for replies for a few moments. I'm at the school gate, and the students were walking together with their friends.
Some of them are eating their lunch at the benches, and some of them are having a picnic with their friends, and girlfriend or boyfriend.
I felt some cringe feelings from my body. I don't know why but, I'm not fine with the lovers that show publicity.
I'm not like them, but do I not like them?
The last time that I checked, I'm willing to do some cheesy, and cringe kinds of stuff just to make Sammy feels happy and contented with me.
However, there are still some chances that I'm not comfortable showing my soft sides in public.
After a few minutes, I received her replies.
My heart started to race, and I'm gasping for air.
“Help.”
