The Devil's Dribble Husband

Chapters 14. The Mystery of Death

"Haaah, I almost died hanging a few days ago. Could be that old lady coming to my apartment."

Ellard walked back and forth in her room uneasily. The cup of coffee he brought, no longer reflected hot steam. Almost twenty minutes he did the same, climbing the floor of his room which was only half the area, compared to his room in the main house.

"When can we meet? I'm tired of hiding in this shabby boarding house. You didn't break your promise to split the two treasures, did you?"

Ellard's eyes re-read the contents of the message sent by Lilith an hour and a half ago. Until now he has not returned it. Several times the phone came in from his affair that he ignored.

"Fuckin' girl! It's just a pain. Doesn't he know, I've been after this treasure for a dozen years?"

Ellard sipped the coffee in his glass violently. The tip of his foot kicked a basket of cloth, until the entire contents spilled.

"It's a good thing I banned him from going home that night. Then it pays the CCTV clerk to delete some of the footage. Otherwise, I would have been the media moons by now, for having been caught cheating on me by that witch."

Not having the slightest gratitude to the woman who had raised him, Ellard instead called Lady Eleanor as a witch and seized her wealth.

"Please pick up my phone, before I ask the thugs to finish you off," Lilith tweeted.

"Yes, come if you and the thugs want to be caught by the police. Our apartment is still being watched by the witch, wanting to catch our affair wet. You want the business we've been doing for three years to just crumble?" reply Ellard.

Ellard threw his HP on the bed. The man then left all his clothes on the floor, then went into the bathroom. His athletic body and brown skin was wet, exposed to water from the shower.

"Searching for money is hard. I was thinking about how to get rid of the rich girl, then take off Anella's cell phone card, and smuggle her out of the country with another phone. Lilith knows what?"

Ellard kept flushing his body with water, to cool his head.

"Well, but Lilith wasn't bad either. The service of his body was amazing" Ellard said.

"Now three days have passed, and I have not heard of the bodies found on the mountain. Now he must be eating wild animals, right?"

Apparently the man was still feeling restless, for throwing Anella's body just like that in the forest.

"I'm sure no one will find his body to be a bone. That's why, I asked her to wear a black dress, so that it wouldn't be easy to look at other people."

...***...

Anella exhales violently. His net took a look out the window. The atmosphere looked cool, with nimbus and stratus clouds hanging in the sky. The leaves dance when the wind blows.

"Enak is a leaf. Can be free wherever he wants." Anella ruffled her long hair, and thought randomly to let go of her grievance.

A gardener ran after the leaves that had just been swept. He went back to collect the dried leaf trash into the basket, then took it to the landfill.

Simultaneously, several small birds were jumping in front of the window of his room. The birds were sounding cheerful and frivolous.

"Ah, it seems not too good as well as a leaf. Can be chopped and burned. Would it be better to be a bird, huh?"

His mind kept thinking about random things that were not important at all. Actually it was just a diversion from her troubled heart.

"Now what should I do? Though I had planned yesterday to destroy the curse man. But he and his mistress are a step ahead of me."

Both of Anella's hands clenched, her chest felt tight. He needed something to pour out the pain that was clumping on his chest. Ah, does he need to go to the top of the mountain, so that he can scream with all his might?

"Ah, I can't be quiet. Even though Mama forbade me to go home, I had to keep going home. Because I can't let Mama alone face that crazy boy," Anella said.

"Anne, I'm sorry I left you for so long. Have you eaten? I brought bread for you, no." Rhea put the plastic bag on the table.

"I ate, really. Take a shower, too" replied Anella. Her lips held a pretty sweet smile.

"Ah, great. I also brought a few sheets of my old clothes for you to wear," Rhea said.

"Hmm?" Anella cleared her throat as she stared at Rhea for quite a while.

"Oh, sorry. Did I offend you? I forgot, does the property owner in the capital want to wear this kind of beks?" Rhea's face was a little gloomy, as respin Anella just now. "I'm sorry, I just found out this morning, that you're a young businessman" he added.

"No, kok. Just relax, Re. I have no problem wearing old clothes. All I think about right now is one. Why are you so kind to me that this stranger?"

"Why do you think of such a trivial thing? Of course because we were the first to find you, we are responsible for you" Rhea replied as she shrugged her shoulders.

The two hands of the woman deftly stared at the few pieces of used clothes she had brought from home. After that he took an apple, and peeled it to eat together.

"The man met me first. He also officially tied the promise as my husband. But still he betrayed and abandoned me."

Rhea mendes*h slowly heard a complaint from Anella. The knife and the apple in his hand were put back into the dish.

"Anne, listen to me. Right now you don't think too hard. You just finished surgery on the head a few days ago, and you have to rest enough" Rhea reminded.

"I understand, Re. So, I know you have a charitable foundation. But ... I can reimburse you for the expenses you've been out of, right?" ask Anella. "Because I think I will trouble you and Railo even more" he added.

"Of course you can. I will gladly accept it. But now you have to focus on your health. Let you quickly take revenge on that accursed man," Rhea said with a laugh.

"Hahaha, you're right too. I have to have a strong physical and mental, if I want to fight the devil," Anella said.

"Well, now the same story as me. What do you need help with?" ask Rhea.

"Hmm, I want to know about one of my assistants. His name is Mr. Alex. He should have been a witness in my murder case. But why didn't a single cop reveal his testimony?" said Anella.

"Alright, tell me the characteristics and address of the house. My men will be looking for him soon" said Rhea excitedly.

Thirty minutes later.

"What's? Sir Alex was killed in an accident?" exciting Anella. He forgot that he was in the hospital.

"Yes, there is no need to bother looking for the info. The news is widespread in all online media. A man named Alexander Bowen was killed in a single accident a few days ago" Rhea tells the story.

"Accident? Was he really an accident?" Anella snatches the phone from Rhea's hands, to read the news herself.

"Right, this is Mr. Alex. But was he really an accident like the one that was said in the news? There's no CCTV in there, is there?"

Mr. Alex died the same night, the night of Anella's murder. His car went into the gorge twenty meters deep. Looks like he fell over, on his way or home from the restaurant.

No one knows the exact event. But police said that the car tire that broke, as well as the remote lights that did not turn on, became the trigger for the accident.

"I can't believe Mr. Alex would be so careless about his car. Someone must have tried to kill him that night. Moreover, the restaurant teamed up with Ellard." furious Anella.
