YM778.TV Chapter 290 - Case Closed!
Tiana smiled and became quiet. It\'s been weeks now and although she shouldn\'t be anxious already, she couldn\'t help worrying. Why was she not pregnant yet?
They had sex almost every day and yet she wasn\'t pregnant. Was something wrong with her?
Nicklaus\' fingers caressed her lips and his eyes flickered over her face;
\'\'what are you thinking about? \'\' he asked when he saw she was staring blankly.
\'\'Uh? Nothing, nothing important; now pack all these up as I shower quickly; \'\' she smiled and kissed his chin, tossing the nightwear she was putting on, on the bed, she walked into the bathroom naked.
Tiana closed the door and leaned on it, a sigh leaving her lips. She was just overthinking right now, she knew it, the thing was she always thought once anyone had sex without protection they would get pregnant 98% of the time, and for these weeks, they\'ve not had sex with protection, and yet nothing was happening.
Tiana sighed and stomped into the shower, letting the warm water pour over her face. She knew Nicklaus would be mad at her for worrying over so little a thing, so she did not tell him. Tiana prayed that she would just get pregnant soon; they were already through a lot she didn\'t want to worry about not having kids.

\'\'Michelle Howells, you know what you are here for? \'\'
Michelle who was sitting in front of them silently looked up at the investigator staring at her as though she was caught killing her husband right in the act.
\'\'I don\'t.\'\' It\'s been almost three weeks since that man died and she had waited every day for them to come for her, but they didn\'t and just when she relaxed, a bunch of officers pulled over at her house.
The man stared at her for a moment and then he said;
\'\'Your fingerprints were found on the deceased and on the cup of poisoned tea and also on the bag of tea, how do you explain that? \'\'
Michelle stared at him quietly;
\'\'what do you think? \'\' The man was puzzled by her question.
\'\'Let\'s say, you lost your husband to suicide and the police is trying to blame you for it, what would you do? \'\'
\'\'Ma\'am, the question is for you… \'\'
\'\'You ask me why my DNA was found on him, don\'t you see how stupid that question is? I woke up with my husband that morning, talked with him for a while before stepping out to do some shopping only to be called back home to my husband\'s death, do you for one second think this has been easy for me? \'\'
Michelle asked, her brows creased as though she was in pain;
The policeman stared at her doubtingly.
He dropped his eyes to the document in front of him and read through it;
\'\'Mrs. Michelle, you said you went out for some shopping right? \'\'
Michelle thought before answering; \'\'yes. \'\'
The man tilted his head; \'\'You own a multi-million dollar company and you live in a house full of workers and guards, so it begs me to question, how do you shop by yourself? \'\'
Michelle\'s breath hung in her throat as she struggled to remain calm, she knew that if she did one wrong thing, she was going to be pinned down, and she wasn\'t about to go to jail for that devil.
\'\'No more questions, I\'ll need to talk to my client privately… \'\' Michelle\'s lawyer, who had been quiet all the while, cut in when she heard the question, they had prepped before now, but she didn\'t her ask that, and she wasn\'t sure Michelle knew what to say;
\'\'No… \'\' Michelle raised her hand stopping her; \'\'I\'ll answer that. \'\' she smiled.
\'\'yes, I am filthy rich and yes, I have a lot of workers, but I do some shopping myself, like buying my lingerie and sanitary wears, do you want me to go on? \'\'
The policeman couldn\'t reply and Michelle smiled;
\'\'Officer, you can investigate me all you want but I\'m not going to jail for what I did not do, if this interrogation is over, I\'ll like to take my leave. Anything else you want to say can be said in court, thank you. \'\'
She completed and stood up from the chair walking out with her lawyer.
The policeman stared at the door which just slammed close. He didn\'t know what to believe. It was strange that her DNA was both on the poison and on the cup and stranger that the CCTV had no records of the event but he had nothing else to prove apart from that.
Clearly, she had an alibi proving that she wasn\'t at the place of death at the time of death and reasons why her DNA was found on the body. If he took the case to court, it would likely be struck out for want of evidence.
The officer sighed; if he continued digging, he might find something, but the man in question, did he deserve justice at all?
He killed an innocent girl and tried to kill his brother\'s son, anyone who tried to kill him must have had a reason for that.
The man\'s eyes fell on the file in front of him, after some seconds, he slammed it close.
Case closed!
…
\'\'You did well. \'\' Michelle smiled as her lawyer congratulated her in the car,
\'\'I don\'t think they would want to push on with the case, and even if they do, they won\'t be able to prove anything in court. \'\'
Michelle\'s eyes stared outside the car, not saying a word. Killing him did not bring Mia back, but at least she wouldn\'t be so sad over there anymore.
Michelle dropped her lawyer in her firm and drove home. She didn\'t sleep in their room anymore, and she was planning to sell the house, it held so many memories, memories she didn\'t want to remember.
She had not taken up to three steps when her phone rang in her bag, she took out her phone and her feet stopped when she saw who the caller was.
