Chapter 101: I Did It
1442words
'What? Are you confessing just like that?" She asked and Heather raised a brow at her in surprise.
'What the hell are you talking about? You brought me here to ask me questions and here I am, answering you. You should be thankful that I am making it easier for you, you don't have to keep investigating and all that jazz," she was, nonchalantly and the prosecutor decided that she was really possessed.
It was either that or she had some pretty good connection that she was relying on.
Of course, everyone knows that she is Mr. Gray's beloved fiance and those people have good connections but saying this outrightly is very ridiculous.
'It seems like you are not listening, so I would do you a favor and say it again, you should get that recording tape right now and let it record this.
I am the one that planned all of it to start with, I am the only one that knows Doctor Mike, Oliver doesn't, I am also the one that got the drugs we used in that bitch, I made her dance on the stage and even aborted her child and guess what? I am not in the least sorry about it all," Heather yelled at the prosecutor in the face.
'What?" The woman asked incredulously.
'Yeah, you heard that, that's that about it but now that I think about it, I should have killed that bitch that day and get it over with, that is what is giving me a headache now," Heather said, raising her hand to her temple in frustration.
'Uhmm…." The other woman hesitated and checked the file before looking at the woman who seemed to really be rethinking her decision of not killing Sapphire.
'What are the words she said that led you to pushing her away, so thoroughly that she hit her head on the table? You told me about the argument you had on the day she went to try on her wedding dress, it was your first attempt to abort her baby right?"
'Words…" She trailed off and when she thought that she would start saying it, she screamed at her.
'Hey! Don't ask me nonsensical questions! I don't have the time to be recapping every single detail of that day, she really pissed me off, thinking about how the conversation went had me thinking about murdering someone!"
'O..okay," she replied, the woman already has some murderous tendencies, it would not be of the best interest to rile her up, there is the Grays who won't be happy and there is also her Smith Family.
'So what's next?" She raised her hand in front of her. 'Are you not going to arrest me?" She asked the smile not leaving her lips like the prison is a lost home she long to visit.
As she was being cuffed, Heather furrowed her brows in thought, there was a frown on her face.
Even though she had yelled at the woman that she didn't want to recap the events of that day, it is strange that she can't remember any of the dialogues that went down.
It was like someone just gave her a brief summary of what went down that day, she could remember the events clearly but not exactly what was said that day, the words.

'Sapphire! Look at this, it is so shocking!" Luci screamed to her from where she sat on the beanbag, at one corner of the room, her phone in her hands. The kids were watching a 13+ movie because apparently, they are too old to watch cartoons which are made for babies.
'God Aunt Luci, are you sure that you aren't a banshee? It is like you are trying to turn this house upside down!" Andrea snapped at her and she glared at the kid.
Sapphire put the plates down, she was doing the dish begrudgingly, she was still pissed at what happened the night before and had been ignoring Alexander.
Childish. She knows but she just wanted to do that because she can and it is fun when the man kept staring at her with doe eyes and a pout on his lips when she swat his hand away, there is her own peaceful life.
Claire had gone out to meet Matthew and she felt that she is meeting him way more than even she gets to do, they are doing some sort of art project together.
Alyssa is at her cosmetics company, even though it was just something built up to quickly push Oliver to make an abrupt decision, she ended up loving it a lot, Alicia was there to support her.
Most times she marvels at the level of commitment Alicia leaves for her cousin, it is rare to see someone who does that, that makes her a gem.
'What?" She asked as soon as she was standing in front of Luci, the latter turned her phone to face her.
'This is nuts!" She said and turned her face to Sapphire.
'Hello, I am Rex, I am sure that you would remember me if you were interested in the scandal that happened to Ms. Sapphire Conrad, I was the one that she cheated on Mr. Gray with," The man on the screen said and Sapphire vaguely remembered that it was the man that helped her to the hospital that day, he also appeared on T.V slandering her name and giving a cock and bull story of how they dated.
'Isn't this that guy?" She asked and Sapphire nodded.
'I am here to inform you that it was a well made up plan, the truth was that I only saw Ms. Conrad…I mean Ms. Aldine once in my entire life and it was the day that I helped her to the hospital.
She came out of Mr. Oliver's apartment bleeding profusely, she looked like she was on the brink of death and still struggling, I took her to the hospital and paid her bills and left and that was that." He paused and Luci stared up at Sapphire but her attention was only on the screen.
'At least, that is what I thought until Ms. Heather Smith visited me!"
'I knew it, it was all that bitch!" Luci said.
'I don't know how she knew that I helped Mrs. Sapphire to the hospital but she said that she would give me two million dollars if I went to the tv and said all that I said.
It was a hard time for me, my kid had to do an urgent brain surgery so I was tempted. The money was offered the last day the doctor set a deadline.
I took the money and went live but I had no option that it would really ruin her like it did, I thought ‘ what more could happen to a stripper'
I couldn't do anything for the past years because I knew that I would suffer serious backlash, I already lost my job at the company and I am being treated like an outcast but I am not sad about it, I really deserved it, it doesn't measure up to the criticism Mrs. Sapphire faced.
I am sorry for doing that to you, I am sorry for worsening your situation, I am sorry for prioritizing money over your esteem but I am not sorry for saving my daughter, if the situation was to repeat and be like that once again, I am afraid I would make the same decision.
I know you know what kids mean to their parents, Mrs. Sapphire and if by chance you are watching this, I hope that you would find a place in your heart to forgive me, thanks a lot."
'Whoa, what schemes, gosh I am already hating Heather more and more." Luci murmured and was about to collect her phone when the next video below it started playing and it says that Heather had admitted to all crimes at the station, they only wonder if Sapphire would press charges against the lot, since both Mike and Oliver were involved by associating with Heather.
'Wow! At least the police got her to say the truth, she should rot in hell," Luci said but Sapphire kept staring at the video with a small frown on her face.
'What's wrong? Shouldn't you be jubilating?" Luci
asked when she noticed the frown.
'Something is not right," she answered firmly.
