He was always there for me and even after the death of my mother, he was still the best but It baffles me on how much he changed because I never expected the caring father I always look up to to turn into a monster overnight” Caleb lamented.
but Queen walked up to me and “Caleb, you have to forgive dad because he is truly sorry”
“I don’t know what to do Queen” Caleb said confused.
“This may be your last chance Caleb so go talk to him. He cares so much about you and I could see it in his eyes”
“Queen” Caleb called because he was about to refuse but Queen interrupted
“At least, hear him out Please” Queen pleaded and after some deliberation, he accepted.
“Fine, let’s go” Caleb said and Queen giggled as she followed him closely behind.
“Kennei It’s time to you back into your cell” the warden said but Caleb and Queen walked into sight at the moment and Kennedy pleaded with the warden to give them some more time?”
“Fine, take your time” The warden said and left them to continue their conversation
“Thanks a lot” Kennedy appreciated the warden and faced his children.
“I will excuse you guys” Queen said about leaving but Caleb pulled her back
“Caleb, I’m ready to talk. I’m ready to come out clean”.
“What do you mean?”
“Seat first both of you. My lawyer will be here any minute” Kennedy said to them and they both sat down opposite him.
Caleb couldn’t believe that he was actually the one doing this as there was an awkward silence between them before the lawyer walked in minutes later.
“Mr Ken sorry I’m late” the lawyer apologized.
“It’s fine Seat please” Kennedy said and the lawyer settled on a chair beside them.
“All that I’m going to say I want to have It recorded” Kennedy said and Caleb wondered what it was that he wanted to say until the lawyer brought out a digital voice recorder and placed on recording.
“Done so what information would you like to give us?” The lawyer asked Kennedy then he began..
“I have done a lot of evil in my life and I was cruel to people but most of the things I did, I did for love. A love that only lead me to destruction, a stupid and one sided love” Kennedy said emotionally but Caleb interrupted him rudely.
“And what are you talking about?”
“It all started when I accidentally killed your mom”
KENNEDY (FLASHBACK, 6 YEARS AGO)
Kennedy walked into his house very tired because he just got back from a business trip, He signed the contract earlier than expected so he came back home to get some rest.
Caleb was having a sleepover at his aunts place because his mum will never agree to stay home with him hence she doesn’t care about them but then a strong smell of alcohol hit his nose and also the television was turned on with a lot of noise emitting from it.
He looked around to see bottles of alcohol and also his wife’s shirt and bra was on the couch then he wondered what she could be up to. Kennedy had to ask himself to clear off what it was that he was thinking about. He didn’t turn off the television but headed to the room but as he proceeded to the room he stopped on his track when he heard moans from a familiar voice and it was his wife’s voice. then he prayed that everything should better be a dream..
He pushed the door open and got the shock of his life when he caught his wife having sex with another man on their matrimonial bed.
“Wasn’t I enough for her? I know our marriage was arranged but how could she do this? I gave her all she ever wanted money, sex, love, care, happiness but she never cared about those things” Kennedy complained as he felt great anger rise in him as she continued moaning from the guy’s thrust obviously.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
oblivious of that fact that he was in the room untill words finally came out of his mouth in a yell.
“What what the hell are you doing?” Kennedy asked angrily.
“Jesus, Kennedy” the guy said as he got off her but Kennedy quickly took hold of the guy and beat him to pop while his wife screamed.
“Ken, stop” she yelled and then he allowed him go so he ran out of the house taking his clothes with him then Kennedy faced his wife
“I should stop? How could you do this? You are a married woman for Christ sake. I gave you all you wanted but you stabed me in the heart how could you?”
“Don’t you fucking yell at me? You have no right to be mad about anything. This marriage was arranged Ken and I dislike the fact that I have to stick to you.
I dislike the fact that I had to have your child because I never wanted to be in this family. I detest you and that bastard Caleb and you are not worth my love” She said but Kennedy fumed in anger because she dare call Caleb a bastard?
“Take back your words back now” Kennedy threatened with his eyes already bloodshot
“I won’t because you and Caleb are bastards” She said and without thinking twice Kennedy gave her a hot slap, a slap he regret up to this day because it was a slap that left her dead.
“Who would have thought that a slap could kill someone? I never knew until it did. She fell to the ground and started gasping for breath while I looked at her dying figure on the ground and guilt enveloped me. I should never have slapped her” Kennedy said emotionally.
“Honey, I’m sorry but please don’t leave me” Kennedy cried holding her but she took her last and gave up then Kennedy screamed at what he has done.
“Honey please don’t do this” Kennedy pleaded for her to wake up but she was already dead and there was nothing he could do about it only to keep wondering how she could just die from a slap?
“I can’t go to jail because Caleb will hate me for life.
He would be so traumatized and his pairs would mock him because he was just a teenager then and I didn’t want to subject him to such. I had to do something to cover up to this mess so I scattered the entire house and made it look like armed robbers came here. I shot her, shot myself on the leg and called the police thankfully there were no cameras anywhere in my house.
An autopsy was carried out on her body and it was discovered that the slap twisted her neck bone and as a result her neck bone broke and her carotid arteries bursted. In fact she died of several internal bleeding but I made the police believe that an armed man slapped my wife and shot her then the man whom your mum cheated on me with ended up going to jail because both our fingerprints were on her face and he was seen entering our house in a suspicious way and I wasn’t a suspect because I made myself the victim” Kennedy narrated the story in tears to Caleb.
(END OF FLASH BACK)
“So you didn’t mean to kill my mom but framed someone else with it?” Caleb asked
“I didn’t intentionally frame him up, his fingerprints were on her face and surveillance caught him sneaking into our house so the police assumed he killed her not me, I didn’t even know he was going to get involved.
I forgot about the fingerprints and street cameras but despite the fact that I hated him for sleeping with your mum, I didn’t want him to go to jail but my hands were tied Caleb it was either me or him”
“What about Gold’s mother? Why did you plan to kill her?” Caleb asked his father
“Sincerely, I didn’t plan to kill her it was Aerial who did”
“What? How?” Caleb asked really getting interested in the story
