Chapter 99

"What do you mean by you will go with him Arianna", The police officer asked trying to bring his voice down so Mr Peterson does not hear. "That's the only way I can get evidence before the week runs out" Arianna replied. "Okay I want you to keep these, just in case of an emergency, okay''. The police officer offered. In her hands consists of a pepper spray a small camera and am audio recorder. She quickly thanked him and went outside to meet Mr Peterson who was patiently waiting for her. As she was about entering his vehicle, Aurora and Paul got to the police station and saw the scene unfold before their eyes. "Why is Arianna getting into Mr Peterson's car?" Paul asked Aurora. They quickly put a call through to her to confirm if she was alright. She told them she would explain later and they shouldn't worry about her. This further agitated them and they thought to meet Ceaser for help, he would surely help Arianna if not for anything but for Aurora's sake. On getting to Ceaser's place, they were told to wait since he was in a meeting at that time. They've waited for a while and Paul began to grow impatient because Ceaser was not done with his meeting. "Do you think he will see us or we are just wasting our time?" Paul said. "He will see us", Aurora said convincingly. Not long after Damien and Brendan came out smiling at each other. "Brother what are you doing here?" Aurora questioned obviously surprised to meet her there. "Myself and Brendan came to talk to her Dad about giving us blessings to be together and he agreed", Damien said happily. Before they started jubilating, Ceaser cleared his voice commanding everyone's presence in the room. Damien and Brendan excused themselves to give them privacy. "To what do I owe this visit?" Ceaser asked looking straight at Aurora. Aurora explained everything she knows about to Ceaser and asked him to assist her whichever way possible. Ceaser told them not to worry about anything, that they should wait a couple of hours before doing anything. In Mr Peterson's car Arianna sneakily put the audio recorder there so that it would record whatever secret conversations he had in his car. When they got to his house, she was shown to the room she would be staying, during the duration of her stay in his house. Though she was not comfortable the helps around the house were warm and accommodating. Then she remembered to call her friends and tell them what transpired at the police station when they were away. They were mad at her for making such a decision without telling them. She apologized whole heartedly to them and they forgave her instantly. It was evening and Arianna heard a knock in the door and she invited the person in, and it turned out that it was the maid. She came to inform her that Mr Peterson wants her to come downstairs and eat dinner with him. "What if I don't want to", Arianna asked the maid who answered fearfully that he would he mad and mn at even sack her. She got up from the bed and went down to eat with Mr Peterson which by the way was going well until he started asking her questions about herself and her friends and other stuff, but she was smart enough to answer his questions and not giving anything important away. She also thought to return the favor and ask him questions of her own. "Mr Peterson regarding the story you told me at the station who was the guy that took your place?", She asked. If you must know that girlfriend that was so selfish and self-righteous was no other person but your Mom. Arianna was shocked to hear this, because she already had a suspicion before but hearing it directly from him was like confirming it really happened. "And do you want to know what was the most shocking part? The guy I thought was my best friend was the one that I believed taped me so he can get her from me was no other than the man you call your 'FATHER'. Mr Peterson said with malice in his eyes. "The people you call your parents ruined my life" . Mr Peterson continued. He stood up and left the table to go and drown his sorrows in a bottle of whiskey. Arianna quickly texted Aurora telling her to come online so they can have a conference call. Arianna finished with the call and decided to go exploring the house if she would find anything that would point her to the evidence. She went down the corridor and opened the door to an empty room and turned on her flash light to see the room clearly, she went through the papers she saw on the table, they were pictures cut out from magazines and newspaper. They were many that were hung on the wall and some that were cut off but were still on the table. She went through the pictures and she recognized a few of the people that were lying around and she studied them she saw her mother's picture it had an 'X' on it also that of her Dad and every other picture that was there. She quickly took photographs of everything and sent it to the police officer and she quickly deleted it on her side just in case something happens, she quickly looked around and she saw some papers in a corner as she was going towards it someone spoke from behind her making her fidget only to see Mr Peterson standing behind her and walking slowly towards her which made her move backwards and before she knew it her back was against the wall, and she quickly closed her eyes when she saw him raise up his hand, she waited for the slap or blow but it never came just her phone that he took. "Give me back my phone", she yelled. He turned on the phone only to meet it unlocked and he went through the phone only to find. NOTHING.
