Episode 23
âThink about yourâŠ.our unborn baby. Tiara wonât let us be and thatâs why weâŠ.you and me will send her to jailâ
âI love my sisterâ
âYouâll be doing the best thing for her but if you donât, she will go and hurt more peopleâ
âI canât have that on my conscienceâ
âThen do the right thing here and weâll both have a happy life,donât you want that?â
âIâll do itâ
âGoodâ
And Joshua wondered if things would be the same between Fiona and him. He loved Fiona but her sister had turned his father to what he now considered to be am slowpoke
Joshua offered what Fiona had always wanted: stopping Tiaraâs madness revenge. Yes, she was happy Joshua wasnât mad at her but again he had taken it too cool. Maybe she shouldnât have told him but it seemed like the best thing to do. Joshua loved her and Tiaraâs revenge wouldnât stop him from loving her less, would it?
Pedro whistled to himself as he drove back to Tiara. God! how he loved herâŠ..No,it canât be love, can it?
Before he could get a chance to answer his question, his phone rang,seeing the caller was,he could guess why Steve was calling him
âHey Steel, Iâm driving. Could you call me back?â
âNo puppy, the boss is really getting anxious. The board meeting would be a day after tomorrow and he wants to know the owner of the shares before the board meetingâ
âTell your boss I am doing my job and he should leave me beâ
âDo you know who Robert Obiaku is?â
âYeahâ,Pedro scoffed- the man who cheated his partner our of his company
âAll Iâm saying is that,it couldnât hurt to take this job a little more seriousâ
âActually the problem is,I take it a little too seriousâ
âLook,Iâll talk to you laterâ
The call ended
Liza watched as Tiara descended down the stairs in a Burberry gown that stopped above her knees. Liza tried to remember if she has seen Tiara in anything but gown but she found no memories.
âIs Pedro back yet?â,Tiara asked
âNoâ
âHmmmâ
âWhat does âhmmmâ mean exactly, Yes or No?
A knock was heard from the door and Tiara was grateful for that knock
âYes do come inâ,Liza shouted
Two uniformed and one un-uniformed police officers came in and walked up to Liza.
âAre you Tiara Michaels?â,the un-uniformed one asked
Liza was too shocked and confused to answer bringing forth silence.
Tiaraâs cold voice broke the silence âI amâ
Liza would see the police officers as they walked up to Tiara,she could hear one of them say âYou are under arrest for the attempted murder on Paul Green. Anything you say or do now would be used against you in the law court. If you donât have an attorney,the state will provide one for you. Letâs goâ.
Liza watched them take her sister and she slumped into the chair.
Pedro honked when he got to the gate of Tiaraâs house as he thought of many ways he would break the good news to her. He had revised many statements on his way coming. He laughed as he watched the security guards open the gate. His laughter increased as he walked into the house and his laughter faded as he heard Lizaâs sobs. Many thoughts ran through his mind as he increased his pace to ask what the problem was from Liza. He turned her to face him
âWhatâs the matter? Whereâs Tiara?â,Pedro asked looking directly into Lizaâs already red bulging eyes.
ââTia got arrestedâ
Pedro was shocked but not surprised. He knew this was bound to happen one day.
âWhat was the crime?â
âAttempted murderâ
âOn who?â
âPaul Greenâ
âI wonder who rattled that to the police. Which police station did they take her to?â
âI donât know. Didnât ask themâ
âWhereâs the nearest police station?â
âYou think they would take her there?â
Thatâs my best betâ
âWe should get goingâ
âI have to make a call firstâ
He brought his phone out from his pants pocket and dialed a number to someone whom he hadnât spoken to in years.
âRichard, itâs Pedroâ, Pedro spoke to the phone
âGuy! how are you doing!?. Itâs been long. Iâm talking about three years longâ
âRichie, I need a favour from youâ,Pedro said ignoring the greeting
âAnything I can doâ
âThank youâ
He gave Richard the address of the nearest police station, he would meet Richard there in twenty minutesâ
Richard sighted Pedro accompanied with a little but a beautiful lady. When he got closer,he noticed the girl was no older than a eighteen.
âGood to see you,brotherâ,Richard said as shook hands with Pedro.
âNice to see you too,brotherâ,Pedro said as both men or brothers rather, walked into the police station.
âGood day, officersâ,Pedro greeted
âYes. What do you want?â,the officer asked in a rather harsh voice.
âIâm looking for a Tiara Michaelsâ
âWho is she to you?â
âSheâs my clientâ,Richard took charge
The officers mellowed
âWhat is my client charged with?â
âAttempted murder on one Mr Paul Greenâ
âIs there any evidence?â
âOne Ms Fiona Michaels would be testifying against herâ
âHer sister!?â,Pedro shouted
âSeems soâ,the officer answered
âCan we see her?â,Richard asked, taking charge again
âYesâ
Tiara was seated in a dark room. Pedro looked at her and saw she still maintained her coolness, something he always admired her for. He almost smiled but things were so serious.
âHi,Iâm Richard. Your lawyerâŠâ he turned to Pedro and looked back to Tiara and continued ââŠ..His brotherâ
âYou have a brother?â,Tiara and Liza asked in unison
âWeâll talk about that later. Right now, I think Fiona rattled on us to Joshua but I might have a wayâ
âI need to attend that board meetingâ
âIt might hurt your sisterâ
âDo what needs to be doneâ
