Investigation
Peter sat in his dimly-lit ground office, absentmindedly scrolling through his phone when a headline caught his eye. It was about Lotus. With a mix of shock and relief, he read the article that confirmed her whereabouts. This time, he vowed to himself, he wouldn’t let his past mistakes get in the way. He was genuinely concerned for her well-being, especially now that Sheila, the woman who had come between them, was dead.
Later that day, as Peter strolled the halls of his opulent mansion, he received a phone call from one of his men named John. The urgency in John’s voice piqued Peter’s interest, as he listened intently to the news. Sheila’s autopsy had revealed that she had not taken her own life, but had been killed by a gunshot instead. Peter’s shock turned quickly to anger as he realized the severity of the situation. Despite all the wrongs Sheila had done to him, he still felt a sense of duty to bring her killers to justice.
He wasted no time, making his way to his private office where he found John waiting with an inspector. The room was tense, the air thick with anticipation. Peter couldn’t help but feel the weight of the situation as the inspector began to speak.
Inspector: Mr. Peterson, I’m Inspector Parker. We’ve been investigating the circumstances surrounding Sheila’s death, and I believe we have some promising leads.
Peter: (leaning forward, his eyes filled with determination)Tell me everything, Inspector.
Inspector Parker pulled out a file and placed it on the desk, opening it to reveal photographs and evidence. Peter’s heart sank as he saw the lifeless image of Sheila, a once vibrant woman reduced to a mere victim.
Inspector Parker started . “We have reason to believe that George and Caleb were involved in Sheila’s murder. Their fingerprints were found at the crime scene, and witnesses have placed them in the vicinity at the time of the incident.”
Peter clenched his fists. ” George and Caleb? How could they sink so low? ”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
John said. ” Mr. Peterson, these men have been causing trouble behind your back for a while now. We’ve had suspicions, but this confirms it. They’ve crossed the line this time.”
Peter said, his voice filled with determination. “Well, this ends now. I want them found, arrested, and brought to justice. No more deceit, no more betrayal.”
Inspector Parker said. “I assure you, Mr. Peterson, we will do everything in our power to capture them. But I must warn you, they’re dangerous individuals. We need to proceed with caution.”
Peter replied firmly. ” I understand the risks, Inspector. But justice must be served. Lotus deserves to know the truth and those responsible for Sheila’s death need to pay for their crimes.”
Inspector Parker replied. “Agreed. We’ll assign our best men to the case. But I urge you to stay vigilant, Mr. Peterson. These men won’t go down without a fight.
Peter nodded, his mind already racing with plans. He knew it wouldn’t be easy, but he couldn’t let that deter him. This was not just about avenging Sheila’s death; it was about protecting Lotus and ensuring that she never had to live in fear again.
Peter stood up, his voice filled with determination “Thank you, Inspector. But I want to be involved in this investigation. I need to find Lotus and keep her safe.”
Inspector Parker turned. “I understand your concern, Mr. Peterson. But I must advise against it. Let us handle the investigation while you focus on your own safety.”
Peter stubbornly insited. “I appreciate your concern, Inspector, but I can’t just sit back and let others handle this. I owe it to Lotus, and to Sheila, to make things right.”
The inspector sighed, realizing that Peter’s mind was made up. He knew he couldn’t dissuade him, but he hoped that Peter understood the risks involved. Their conversation continued late into the night, with Peter and the inspector strategizing and discussing their next steps.
Later that night Peter could not get his head over the realization that they just received now. He had always thought George was just a greedy person but he never knew he was engaged in such frivolous and animalistic activities of killing people. But why did he need to kill them what does he want to use them for? The thoughts assaulted his mind as he paced around the office.
Was Lotus saved? Or could it be that
Oh my god! His mouth went slack as realisation hit him Caleb was Linda’s boss could it be that he had also used her for whatever he used the people he killed for?
For some reason thought madam was unsettled and he found himself wanting to protect claim that the same way he had always wanted to protect Lotus which made him wonder why he was feeling that way.
It was supposed to feel wrong to have a sense of protection and love for someone else that was not noticed must for some reason it feels right. All he felt was the satisfying feeling he had when he was near Lotus and when their relationship was still blooming.
There was no denying it he loved Lotus dearly but at the same time he found himself wanting to protect the cylinder but why could it be that she was involved with Lotus in any way and Lotus was trying to get in touch with him?
The possibilities made his mind paralyzed. He knew he would never forgive himself if anything happened to her but there was nothing he could do now except to get up and try to find clues on how to get Lotus back before they succeeded with their plans. At this point, he didn’t want to get back with her if she rejected him though it hurt him, but if that was what she wanted he was willing to give it to her so far she was safe and out of the claws of the evil ones.
George and Caleb were going to face their doom now and he was going to make sure of it.
