Chapter 19

After the secret meeting that John had,he has been a bit distant.

I have caught him staring into space. He has even broken a few pen because he was holding them too tight.

It has been a complete strange day with the mysterious phone call and John. And I had a strong feeling that something bad was gonna happen soon.

And I didn't have to wait for a long time to find it out.

I was updating a file on my system,when my phone rang suddenly.

"Hello?"

"Please am I speaking with Jasmine George?"

"Speaking,please what can I do for you".

"Miss Jasmine,am Detective Andrew. I'm afraid that something strange happened in your residence".

"What kind of incident?"

" A strange man entered into your residence and stabbed your mom with a knife in her stomach . She is been rushed to the hospital.

My heart froze. Tears were already flowing from my eyes. What about my little sister was she hurt too?

John was have heard me sobbing so loudly that he rushed to my office.

"No ma'am,your sister fled the scene," he completely ignore the question I asked about my mom.

"Please help me find her quickly,she is just 14 years old".

"We have officers already searching for her,you just need to take things easy".

The elevator pinged and Ella ran in.

"Oh my god,it's okay she is here already. I'll be at the hospital as soon as possible.

She ran straight into my hands,I know she was so scared. I saw her eyes was so red and she has been crying.

"Are you okay?Are you hurt? what happened?!!" I asked her all the questions.

"I am fine,the strange man didn't notice I escaped. He came with mask and broke the door down. Mom was crying and screaming ,I wanted to run out to help her but I couldn't because I was so scared, am so sorry sister"

"Don't ever say that Ella ,it wasn't your fault we have to go fast to the hospital.

That was when John interrupted.

"You can't drive to the hospital in this state, I will drive you there.

With that we arrived in the hospital in 15 mins. Turning around I faced them both.

"Can you keep her with you,I don't want her to see mom in a bad way. I don't know what....."

" It's fine,go I will look after her," he spoke.

I ran to where my mom was attended to ,and saw the worst scene ever,the stabs wounds was so bad, blood was everywhere.

I heard "Time of death ..... 3:00pm,the doctor announced and turn off the machine.

Falling on the door,I cried so loudly for my sweet mother we have lost. I cried out because she died without getting to see Ella grow up and me get married. I cried because I don't know the bastard that hurt her like this.

A few minutes later,I stood up and walked in to where Ella was with John.

I didn't need to saying anything because he already knows that mom was dead.

She ran to me and collapsed in my arms. We were like that for some hours.

The police came over and said they weren't able to get the killer,but promise to continue the investigation.

"What gonna happen now sis?" Ella asked me.

"We need to find a place to stay".

"No need,you are both coming to live with me".

In all the events that just happened,I totally forgot that John was here with us.

"That's necessary".

"It is safer than way.I'm not going to take no for an answer Jasmine ". He said with a serious grin on his face and I couldn't say no.

Later than night,I had gone back to the house with John to get some of our clothes and stuffs that we will be using while we are staying in John's house while Ella went to John's house with the housekeeper.

I put on the black booties that the officer gave me.

I started to walk towards the house but suddenly I stopped on my tracks.

Turning back to John,my voice cracked.

"Could you.......?"

He knew what I was asking and he agreed.He went with me into the house.

I saw the scene of where Mom's accident happened. Blood everywhere,broken glasses which made me so scared.

At that site,I suddenly felt dizzy and held John's hand.He turned to me and held my hands tighter.

"Are you okay Jasmine".

"Am fine". I told him.

We left as soon as possible as the crime scene wanted to get in. The moment we got outside,I quickly ran to the bushes and expelled all the contents in my stomach.

John held my hair back and passed me a bottle of water.

"Thanks John".

This is will be last time am gonna enter this house
