Wait! Was I the bad guy now?……..

MATTIAS’S POV.I watched the bastard’s face as he tried to wear innocence like it was a shirt he could put on and off whenever it suited him.“Mattias,” he said again, like my name was something he owned. “I came here so we could talk.”Talk……I scoffed, staring down at my children as they stared at me wide eyed. Like they badly wanted to know what was going on….like they were surprised at the way I spoke to Beau.What on earth did this man do to make my children like him this much? How much of a manipulator was he, that my kids had completely become obsessed with him?I raised a brow and folded my arms, waiting. Let him keep talking. Let him dig. Men like him always did.Because I needed to know why he had the audacity to show up at my house when……when he was still right at the top of my mind as a suspect connected to Doctor Ryle’s death.His eyes slipped to Shimma for a second.Then back to me.That tiny movement told me everything. He wasn’t only addressing me.He was manipulating

Heated argument…..

SHIMMA’S POV“Mattias,” I called, letting him know……clearly…..that he was taking this too far.His jaw was still tight, his eyes sharp, like he wanted to keep talking until nothing was left of Mr Beau’s excuses.But I couldn’t stand here and watch it happen the way it was happening.Because yes… I knew. I knew Mr Beau wasn’t someone I was supposed to trust. I knew the way his presence changed the everything all the time, the way his calmness never felt genuine, the way he always seemed to arrive like he had been placed there.Still, that didn’t mean every time he showed up, he had to be guilty.What if this was just an overreaction? What if his intentions were completely harmless this time?Maybe he really was trying to help the kids……trying to regain what was taken from them while all of this mess was happening.I swallowed, forcing my voice to stay calm .“Can I talk to you for a moment… privately?” I said to Mattias, my eyes still locked on his.I didn’t look away to give him spa

Next Target.

MMATTIAS’S POV.“And what if he was the one who did it?” Shimma said, her voice edged with disbelief. “Huh… would accusing him without evidence solve anything?”I frowned, because she wasn’t wrong in the way she said it.Evidence mattered.But the problem was… I didn’t accuse him because I liked accusations.I accused him because something about him had never fit. Not since Doctor Ryle’s death…..nor before.I took a step closer to my wife.“Wh—what are you trying to say?” I asked, my voice barely audible.I could see it in her eyes: she wanted to believe the best version of events. She wanted this house to stay safe. She wanted normal.And I could respect that.But right then, trust felt like a luxury we couldn’t afford.Before she could answer properly, my phone rang…….loud and sudden. Interrupting the conversation.Both of us flinched.I sighed, reaching into my pocket, already annoyed at the interruption.Then I saw the caller ID……..”The chief’s police officer.”My stomach dropped.

No!…..I have to do something real quick.

MR MATTIAS’S POV.I took a deep breath before opening the door to the chief police officer’s office.The moment I stepped inside, my lungs forgot how to work.There he was…….seated across from the chief, relaxed like he belonged there… like he wasn’t a threat to anyone’s life.Mr Beau…….Murderfucker.Wait!…… was it him? The one who fed the cops those silly ideas about me being a suspect in Doctor Ryle’s murder?Son of a bitch.The anger came fast and hot, but I forced it down. Not here. Not in front of the chief. Not with cameras watching.I stepped inside, closing the door behind me…….keeping my face calm as I took my breath again.“Mr Mattias,” the chief said, his voice smooth and a bit loud. “Welcome! Please, you can have your seat.”He gestured to the chair beside Mr Beau.Beau stared up at me, and I swear I saw it…….’that predatory look’ in his eyes. Then it was gone instantly, masked behind an innocent smile.Fuck. This nigga is beyond sick.I looked away, turning to the chief,

New pattern.

MATTIAS’S POV (continued)I stepped out of the shower, grabbing a towel and dabbing gently on my face before moving to dry the rest of my body.Steam clung to my skin, but it didn’t soften anything inside me.I tried……. I really tried……not to think about what happened a few hours ago. I told myself I could control this. I only had to come up with the good plan.The real plan.The one that would expose whoever killed Ryle…..the one that would explain the ‘RIP’ threat on my car…..the one that would make that weird call make sense.But the harder I tried to convince myself… the more the fear slipped in anyway.Because what if I don’t?What if I can’t?………What if I miss one detail and someone ends up in danger again…….someone innocent…….someone I promised myself I would always protect?I stood by the mirror, staring at my reflection like I could force an answer out of it.My jaw tightened.Then the bathroom door opened and Shimma walked in.“How did it go?” she asked, her voice gentle, ca

Die without her.

MR BEAU’S POV.The only thing that pissed me off today was the fact that Mattias was out of the suspect list. Ughhh!That could’ve been my foothold…….my leverage…….my moment to make him look cornered.But at least… I wasn’t amongst the suspects too, you know.And even if I was, there was no way the police would have allowed me to investigate the case. Wait…….what case?I burst out laughing, the sound low at first, then growing bolder as I leaned back in my chair.Gosh… I never knew the cops could be so dumb.This wasn’t hard at all. Not as hard as I thought it would be.Because really……..killing and getting away with it? It wasn’t as difficult as my fear had made it seem. Tell me how the “murderer” was put into investigating the case.How absurd.How….sillly!But it’s me you know.It’s my smart-ass brain. My manipulative skills. The way I read people like they’re an open books, the way I guide them toward the conclusions I want.If I wasn’t me, I’m sure I would’ve been locked behi

Answer me please!

SHIMMA’S POV.I ended the call with Beau, and then I decided to bake some of Mattias’s favorite cookies.The kitchen felt warm……….almost comforting. I measured the ingredients slowly and carefully like if I moved with patience, my thoughts would finally drift away from all the mess that had been going on. But the moment my phone rang against the counter, the peace that was slowly settling in shattered.My mother’s name flashed across the screen.Cold shivers ran down my spine as I froze in my tracks.“Why was she calling now?” I wondered.I hadn’t even spoken to her since she left. I… I should have called. I should have checked on her. But I’d been dealing with my own pain too……my own fear……..my own guilt for not checking in properly. It wasn’t that I didn’t care. It was that everything had moved too fast, and I kept telling myself there would be time.And now she was the one calling me.That thought hit me like a hard slap.I stared at the phone, my thumb hovering over the answer bu

Damnmit!…….

BEAU’S POVI rang the doorbell.My heart was racing so hard it felt like it was trying to break through my ribs and find a way to get to her faster.Four days……..Fuck!That stupid number had been sitting in my head like a countdown bomb……... I kept telling myself I could wait. I kept telling myself patience was part of the performance.But it was unbearable……too unbearable to the extent that I almost showed up the day before.The thought had been right there……. tempting……just drive over, just stand outside, just hear her voice again and let my presence do what words couldn’t.I didn’t because I had no excuse.And excuses were everything. If I was too eager, people would noticed. If I moved too fast, I would definitely gave them reasons to question me.So I waited.I fucking suffered.And now here I was…….standing at Mattias’s door, pretending my calm was real.For a few seconds, I just stared at the door like it might open on command.Then I heard movement on the other side.My hope

I can’t wait to expose this murderfucker….

MATTIAS’S POV.I heard the doorbell before I even allowed myself to relax.Not because I was expecting Beau……no. Because I knew his type.When I opened the door, I saw him immediately: lean posture, his careful smile, his eyes moving too fast. That thin restraint in his face told me he’d been fighting himself all the way here.His gaze flicked over me like he was hunting for something he couldn’t find.“Come in,” I said, keeping my voice even.He stepped inside…….too quickly, too eagerly…..and for half a second I caught the way his hope sparked in his expression before he could control it.‘He thought it would be her.’I watched it happen: the way his mouth tried to soften, the way his eyes searched the entrance and then the hallway like Shimma would suddenly appear at the exact moment he wanted.She wasn’t here.And that made him look… irritated.Good. Let him be irritated.I didn’t rush the moment. I didn’t need to. I guided him toward the dining area like we were sharing something

I LOVE YOU MUMMY…

SHIMMA’S POV.I sat across my mother in the living room, her gaze fixed on the TV….but my eyes was glued to her. Not after the stunt she pulled a few days ago.“You should move back in with us,” I said, watching her eyes widen as she turned to me. Like I had just blurted out an abominable word.“No,” she shook her head once.” You can’t be serious, you can’t expect me to go back to that cursed place do you?”“Mum?”“What?”“That’s my home you’re talking about,” i said but she couldn’t care less. She rolled her eyes, focusing her attention back to the TV.“Look mum…..I am only trying to help…..and I know that that’s the last place you want to be, but, your family is there too. Me, Nora, Noah, Elara and Mattias. We all love you and are willing to take care of you,” I said, but she didn’t look away from the TV. Although, it was obvious she could hear everything I was saying.“Or if you don’t want to move in with us, uhh…..you can get an apartment close to us….. I just need you to be close
