Loving You In Secret

Loving You In Secret By Debbie Meza Chapter 23

Vicky shot Sheila a half-hearted smile. “What exactly did I say, then?”

“Miss Shaw, you admitted to jumping into that pool just seconds ago. Are you trying to go back on your own statement?”

“Did I?” Vicky stared at Sheila. “How did I admit to it?”

Sheila froze and muttered, “You…” Halfway through her sentence, Sheila paused, unable to make another sound.

“Whatever you say,’ is all I said, but you three were the ones who had been speaking the entire time. Every time I try to say something, Miss Sasha over there just tries to overpower my voice by yelling. I’m injured, so am I supposed to shout back?” She gave one final sarcastic look to Sheila and added, “Or is the louder one the one in the right?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Furious, Sasha pointed at Vicky and shouted, “I didn’t push you, Vicky Shaw! Don’t even think of blaming this on me! I haven’t even called the police on you for hitting me in the head… You’ll be in jail soon!”

Vicky simply repeated what Sasha once said about Cece. “Whether you did it or not, it’s not up to you. It’s up to the police to decide.” She then closed her eyes and leaned back against the bed head in exhaustion. “There were plenty of surveillance cameras in the backyard, so all we need to do is to check the footage, and we’ll learn the truth.”

Silence instantly fell over the room and Sasha started to panic.

“Oh, by the way,” Vicky added, “she recorded me the entire time I was struggling in the water, so why don’t you check her phone? Maybe you’ll make some discoveries.”

Sasha tensed nervously. Indeed, she had recorded the process, hoping to watch the way Vicky suffered again afterward, not knowing that it would become proof of her crime.

Everyone inside the room was smart enough to know what had happened by the look on Sasha’s face, and Sebastian immediately took out his phone to call the police.

Sasha tried to run, but he blocked the exit of the room. Terrified, she turned to Sheila for help. “Sheila…”

Sheila’s expression darkened and she ignored Sasha’s plea.

Sasha turned to Tyler with tears in her eyes. “Tyler, I didn’t… I didn’t mean to…”

Tyler refused to look at her.

Shortly after, the police arrived, and once Sebastian explained what had happened, they arrested Sasha, and silence returned to the room.

Vicky closed her eyes as she laid on the bed. “I’m tired and want to rest now.”

Sebastian nodded. “Alright. Remember to eat your breakfast.”

“Thank you.”

Before leaving, Sebastian glanced at Sheila and Tyler. “Can you two be more considerate? Vicky said she’s tired and needs to rest.”

The two finally left, and Sheila called out to Tyler as they walked out of Vicky’s room. “Tyler, can I talk to you for a while?”
