Chapter 3 3

I quietly approached the coffin and looked at the coffin, but after a few moments I moved away, I stayed outside the funeral. I saw Caleb who was now in front of his fiance's coffin, the pain was obvious on his face, and he was angry with me.

When someone suddenly approached me from behind, "Hija? why didn't you come inside?" this offer is probably in its fifties.

"N-Not anymore."

"Oh gosh, what's up with Krisella?"

"Me? I'm one of those who want to be Krisella's friend" I tried not to let my tears fall, but it was hard.

"Oh..why are you crying, stop it. I'm Krisella's mom, it's a shame she won't recognize that" I could feel the hurt in her heart, her voice was breaking little by little, she couldn't stop crying either.

Mom, who are you talking to?" I immediately turned around when suddenly someone called the woman I was talking to, it's Caleb.

"Miss? why didn't you come in?"

"Don't do it"

I tried to change my voice so that he wouldn't notice, but he faced me and I could feel his gaze from head to toe.

"C-Calista?" It's a bad manner, wait, why did he recognize me? I almost couldn't breathe in my cover.

"I-I'm not calista"

When I refused, but he pulled me out, which got everyone's attention, he pushed me so that I took off my hat and shades.

"Tànginà, your face is also thick, isn't it, your lime is thick to show here, don't you have a conscience?"

"I-I just want to see Krisella at least in the end---"

I was surprised when it broke the vase in front of me "No one needs your presence, will you run away or shall I kill you?"

I knelt in front of him and touched his feet, which made everyone look at him and startled, "Please, it's not my fault, I'm not doing anything wrong, believe me" I begged.

"Son, what's going on, he's Krisella's friend!" Krisella's mother scolded us.

Mom! That girl is going to die, you shouldn't believe what the múrdérer is saying!"

He looked at me in the eyes, there was pain and hurt in his eyes.

"No...we should hurry, Caleb. No one knows what happened."

"Ma, I know it's him, I heard him!" It screamed

"Caleb, just respect Krisella's hill, please, she's a girl, don't hurt her"

"I only respect Krsella and you, not this fúcking woman

He looked at me badly, and left in front of us "Are you alright hija?"

"O-opo, won't you throw me away?"

"I'm angry, Yes. It's inevitable, I'm a mother, but no one knows everything that happened, so I shouldn't judge, Caleb should be patient first, he loves Krisella, they were supposed to get married, but this tragedy happened".

I felt a little relief from what he said, because...when he also rejected me and judged me, I might also be angry with myself.

I didn't take too long because almost everyone was looking at me, "Uhmm... ma'am, please accept this, ahh... maybe you will think of it as a bribe, oh what, I just want really give it to me, it's okay even if you get mad at me, no problem" I reached here with the envelope.

"Hija, I'm not tired--" He was about to return the envelope but I stopped him.

It stopped speaking when I said "Just that, please.

No choice he took what I gave, my conscience would kill me so much if I didn't help. I know they hate me. But I also know myself that everything is an accident.

When I got home, I couldn't forget everything about how Caleb humiliated me. When I got in Avery Immediately asked me.

"Are you okay, Callie?" Avery asked me, but my attention wasn't on him, as if Caleb's words were already imprinted on my cock.

"Psst, hey are you alright?" It's a question again

Ah..ah? Yes, I'm fine."

"Did Caleb embarrass you on Krisella's hill?" He asked me, shit, that news spread so fast, there must be a lot of gossips, really bad people

"Do you have two or five eyes? You know everything" I said to him and he laughed

"It's me, no one can keep secrets from me, when you're tired, Calista. Just say I'm here, I'll lift you up!"

"What's the news about aunt Vivianne, are you still making money?"

"I've been kicked out, I'm staying at daddy's hotel"

"Huh? He frowned and hugged me, "Bessy, high bank"

What is bank height? I will ask.

"Cheerup"

"You're being silly, Avy"

"Come here, I'll hug you tightly, this Jia, he's just playing pranks" I laughed at what he said, "Caleb is just like that, but deep down inside he has a good heart"

"I don't think so." Avery and I laughed at what I said.

As we laughed together, I felt a sense of comfort and warmth in Avery's presence. It was moments like these that reminded me of the importance of friendship and support during difficult times.

Days turned into weeks, and Avery and I continued to be there for each other. We spent hours talking, sharing stories, It was through these conversations that I began to understand the complexities of Caleb's character and the impact he had on those around him.

One day, my quiet life was disrupted when someone knocked on my hotel room.

"I am prosecutor Villanueva, I am placing you under arrest for the alleged múrdér. The evidence against you is substantial, and it is my duty to ensure that justice is served. You have the right to remain silent, and anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You also have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be provided for you. Please cooperate as we proceed with the legal process."

"Huh?"

I was about to try to speak and defend myself when he handcuffed me

"N-I didn't kill him!"

"Let me go." when I struggle

"I told you, I myself will take you to the railing, and you will experience holding the railing, actually it's not enough for kílling my fiance."

I knelt down with both of my hands in handcuffs, "please, I didn't do--"

It stopped me from speaking when the police stopped me, everyone was looking at me, everyone was whispering, there were many whispers that the son of the owner of the hotel was a murderer.

When we got to the Central Investigation Bureau, it made me sit down and I can be considered a suspect, I am now sitting inside the investigation room.

When Caleb entered he flipped the folder on the table "Confess it...so the conversation is over"

"I'm not guilty, I have nothing to confess, everything was an accident"

"You're drunk, aren't you?" This is a question.

"H-hin---"

I didn't even finish what I was going to say when he yelled at me "DO NOT MAKE ME STUPID"

He approached me, and pushed my forehead with his index finger "Since I saw you, I knew that you were capable of killing an innocent people"

"You don't know me, you don't know anything you can't judge me!" I screamed and took my anger out on him

He brought his face closer to mine, I could almost feel his every breath, "I'm a prosecutor, Calista! I'm not like you"

"If your family pays all the police and courts, I will still put you back where you belong."

It left me inside, I waited for a few hours to see who would come, if anyone would worry, maybe when I'm gone they'll only worry about me.

"Miss, Calista. Your parents are here" One of the detectives shouted.

"I-I'm s-sorry."

Two strong slaps hit my cheek, "How long are you going to embarrass me, Calista"

"Mom, that's not true, I didn't kill the girl, m--"

That's what I'm saying, so I should have killed you in my womb a long time ago, you're worthless, you didn't pass the bar exam, you didn't pass the commission, you passed Avery! Avery has a child, you don't have anything to eat, why don't you imitate Avery!

"Avery and I are different, I am not her, she is not me, Ma! I am not Avery!"

"Mrs Harrison, calm down, we're in the precinct, calm down"

"How much? one, three, how much tell me, do you need a million?" mommy promised without flakiness.

"Ma'am, because...I'm not the one in charge of the case, but.."

"Let the boy go, take the money from me later"

"Remember, Calista. It's not free, so fix your life as long as I don't mind the wheels you're making" He said while leaving in front of me.

"You can leave, Ms Harrison" said the detective and removed my handcuffs.

That's it, I'm right, money is really the battle, but what's the use of money if my opponent has a position and is willing to do everything just to punish me?

I went out of the precinct and sat outside, I cried all over so that when I cried and threw away all the pain, it was another challenge.

Bending down, at the same time as my tears flowed, fresh air touched my skin, "Why? life is so unfair."

What do I have to do to tell the whole world that I'm innocent, less than an hour, I'm in the news. Funny to think, I tarnished the last name that my family has kept.

Why is this world so sick, I just want someone who will love me, I don't want an enemy. I want to be happy
