Chapter 26 Mishap
Hillary’s POV
“You don’t have to do this, Hilly. Nobody knows about your marriage with Him, you could get locked up for showing up uninvited and disrupting the burial ceremony. You have to move on with your life and forget about him, he is gone Hills, there is nothing you can do to bring him back.” Miguel pleaded softly, trying to dissuade me from going for Nathans Burial.
“I need to do this Miguel, I need to let them know that they are all making a huge mistake. My husband is alive, he is not dead, and even if he was dead, I should be the one making arrangement for his burial, and not that bitch, not that evil witch, Ariel. How on earth do you expect me to sit back and watch her succeed in getting everything that she wants?”
She know where he is, she had let them take him because he chose to be with me. I know that she was lying when she said that he was dead, she simply wants me to forget about him and leave, she wants me out of the way so she could have him all to herself. Can’t you see what she is trying to doing, she is trying to get me to act rashly, that way, she could claim that I ran away without waiting for my husbands return.
I have to stop her before she succeeds in burying my husband, he is not dead, he is not dead, he is not dead.” I yelled hysterically, trying to break out of his arms as he held me and pulled me close to himself, whispering kind words to me, his hands were on my back, caressing me softly, making me feel a bit calm.
It’s been six weeks since I got attacked by Ariel. I had passed out in the living room, I had no idea what was happening around me, I thought I was dying, I thought I would never see my Nathan anymore. I can’t feel any part of my body, it felt like I was read already. I tried to pull my body forward so I can see the state of my body, but I couldn’t move any part of my body, no matter how hard I try, I just wouldn’t move.
I lay there hopelessly, calling on the lord for strength to survive this. I just can’t let her win, I have to expose her so everyone can see her forbeho she truly is. They need to know that there is a demon that lies beneath all that beautiful smiled of hers that never leaves her face, that smile that shows on every picture that she snaps for the media. To me, that smile looks like a mask on her face, a mask that she has refused to, and I, Hillary Futon, I would take off that mask and expose her true evil nature.
I don’t know how long I laid there on the floor, but I could faintly hear the sound of the siren that shows that the cops were nearby, I guess that is why they had all left in such a hurry, they must have heard it too, the last thing Ariel wants is to be having issues with the cops. It could lead her into more trouble because she had admitted to killing even more people than we could ever imagine. It would definitely be a sad ending for her if they opened up a case file for her. I shudder at what they would find out about her if they truly opened a case file for her.
They must find something that would put her away for good, that is why I want to attend that burial and disrupt all of her plans. There is no way in hell that I’m letting her bury my husband, not in this life. I don’t care how rich she is, I still don’t care if she is a powerful person in this city, I just won’t sit by and let her get away with what she did to my husband and to me. Yes, it’s personal now. The bitch did not just scheme with the people that abducted my husband, she had also sent her thugs to beat me up. You don’t expect me to let it roll off my back, do you?
Well, I won’t!
I won’t listen to Miguel, I’m going right there to probe to everyone that I am Mrs. Trent. I would make sure I highlight everything I know on live television. Yes, you heard me right, The bitch is airing it love on national television, announcing to the whole world that my husband is dead. There is absolutely no way that his family would ignore everything I have to say, my evidence is too strong to be dismissed by anyone. Yes, I have evidence to support my accusations, Miguel and I have been doing some investigations since I got attacked by Ariel and her goons. You would be surprised at all the things she has done just to get close to the Trents.
She is not a rich heiress like everyone is forced to believe, she is just living in past glory. In reality, she is a poor, broke ass bitch that can’t even afford to shop at a discount store, let alone, shopping at a mall or using designers. She is a leech, feeding off every man that ever looks her way, that is why she came after the Trents, she is after their money, she wants to remain rich even if her family is no longer wealthy. I was wondering why she would want to go after another one of the Trents just few months after the death of Nathan. We discovered that she is so desperate to be a Trent and he has killed every other girl that stands in her way. She fucking killed them all.
In the eyes of the world, she is a pretty young lady who has just lost her betrothed, they have no idea that she is the real definition of devils incarnate. She doesn’t just contract hired assassins to do the job for her, she kills with her bare hands, killing them all before they even had a chance to get close to Nathan. Miguel had found some of the bodies where she had dumped them, but some could never be found, all Miguel could find was traces of her goons around the murder scenes. He was able go trace them to all the murder scenes, and he got evidence that proves that she has been using them to do her dirty jobs for a very long time, even before she started aiming for the position of Mrs. Trent.
I have enough evidence that proves that she is nothing but a psychotic murderer who would do anything, and kill anyone to get exactly what she wants. I’ll show it all to Nathans parents, they will be forced to investigate this issue and find out if I’m telling the truth. Even if they still don’t believe me, even if they think that I’m some kind of lunatic that’s making up shit about their precious daughter in law, they would have to believe I’m his wife and not that bitch. If they think that every evidence I have is a fake, they certainly won’t have any doubts about my marriage certificate.
“I’m his legal wife and I’m going to use it if I have to, but I’m definitely not letting them bury him, not under these circumstances. I believe he is alive, Miguel and even if he were dead, I would still want them to know the truth, I would let that bitch get away with all she has done. For fucks sake, she tried to fucking kill me, how can you tell me to walk away from that. We have been running for days, trying to evade her goon, we can’t keep running forever, can we?” I asked in anger,
“I can’t let you get hurt, Mrs. Trent. Lady Ariel is not someone you should toil with, she is a cold blooded murderer, she has some very powerful people backing her up, you will be gunned down before you get anywhere near her. I won’t let you do this, I just can’t let you go. I promised to protect you, I promised to stay by your side until you are strong enough to move on with your life and forget about your husband. It’s a promise I made and I intend to keep it because I am a Hartford, and the Hartford’s always keep their promises.” He responded sternly, holding me do tight that it hurts me so bad.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“Let go Miguel, you’re hurting me. Let me go… What the hell is wrong with you Miguel, let me go.” I screamed furiously as I kept trying to pull away from his hard grip. He let me go suddenly, taking me unaware. With the force I was using to drag my hand earlier, I rolled backwards, hitting my back against the wall, falling down to the floor.
“I’m so sorry, I have no idea what I was doing. I’m very sorry Mrs. Trent.” He apologized, looking so tuned at his own behavior.
“What the hell is wrong with you, Miguel? You have been acting strange for a while now, is there something you’re not telling me?” I asked him calmly. He has been acting a bit strangely since the news about Nathan’s death started. It got worse when the cops found his remains and confirmed that he is now officially dead. He felt so hurt, it felt like he knew Nathan personally, like he had a close relationship with my Nate. I saw the pain and hurt in his eyes, but I chose to ignore it because it wasn’t important to me at that time. I was still moaning Nathan and at the same time, I was trying to figure out what had happened to him and why he didn’t see it coming. I had no purpose in life because I didn’t know what had happened and I didn’t know who to blame for all this things that is happening.
But now that I’m beginning to see the whole picture, now that I know who to blame for his ordeal, now I can focus all my energy into making her pay for what she has done. Yeah, you noticed too, didn’t you. I still can’t bring myself to say his death, I can’t accept that fact, no matter how hard I try, I simply can’t. I have to expose Ariel, she is the only one that can tell us what really happened to Nathan. I still believe that she is bluffing when she said that he is dead, there is absolutely no way he would die and leave me all alone, I’m not a firm believer, but I know that there is a God up there that watches everyone and I know that he won’t let my Nathan die that way.
Ariel is the key to finding out the truth and there is no way I’m leaving this house today without finding out what is going on with Miguel. He knows something, there is something going on with him and he doesn’t want me to know. Maybe he us trying to protect me from the harsh truth or something like that, but I can’t let him treat me like a child, I have to know everything if I’m going to go after Ariel. The burial is in a few hours, that is the only chance I’ll have to get everyone to listen to me. If there is something about this that he is keeping from me, it could get me in serious trouble. I need to know everything, that way, I can decide if I want to go on with this plan or not, I can’t have him quitting on me, not now when things are getting so tough.
“I’m sorry ma’am, I just got a little bit distracted. I promise it won’t happen again.” He let out in a whisper, turning around to leave quickly before I could say anything more.
“Wait, don’t go…” I called out to him, but he ignored me and left, shutting the door behind him. I just don’t know what is up with him, sometimes I even wonder why he chose to be here with me even after the other guards left. I can’t let him ruin my plans, I have to get to the church before the body is moved to the cemetery. I know it’s going to be harder to evade her goons now that Miguel is gone, but I have to do this for Nathan, I have to make her pay for her sins.
I got dressed in my white jumpsuit, I won’t wear black with the others, I’m not moaning Nathan until I’m certain that he is really dead. I put on my white stiletto, using a white hair fascinator, then I grabbed my white handbag, packing up all the evidence that we’ll be needing, putting it all inside the bag. I peeked through the window of the hotel suit that we lodged in, looking around the building, searching for Ariel’s goons. For all I know, they could have found us here too.
Ever since I got attacked in my house, we have been moving from one hotel to the other, trying to evade Ariel and her thugs. I don’t know how they do it, but they always end up finding us, forcing is to leave our present location and search for another. We had to ditch my car at the last hotel we were forced to run out from, Miguel had promised to go back for it later on. It seems like they have planted a bug on it to use and track our movements. Surprisingly, they haven’t been able to find us since we ditched that car, it had given us enough time to take a breath and properly search for evidence that we can use against Ariel.
I put on my glasses to disguise my look, then I stepped out of the hotel through the crowded lobby, heading straight to the rented car that Miguel got for us. I walked and ran at the same time, trying to get to the car as soon as possible. I got in and shut the door, locking it immediately, my eyes going around looking for anything suspicious. I did not see aa ton or anything that looks out of place, so I drove off immediately, speeding up into the traffic.
