Lucien’s POV
Raphael’s words broke sothing in Alia.
I watched in silence as everything collapsed around her. Raphael looked completely broken and devastated in a way he looked pitifully yet my mind was still spinning the fact that Natalia helped Alia.
It didn’t make any sense to . In the past, I thought she favoured Alia since she practically raised her and she was like family yet my gut had this feeling that sothing was wrong.
"Raphael please don’t say that I love you," she begged with tears rolling down her face. Raphael glared daggers at her. His breathing grew frantic.
"You don’t love , Alia. You are just an obsessed Psycho..." he chuckled through his tears brushing his fingers through his hair.
"But why? What did I do to deserve this?" He asked. "I treated you like a sister Alia why did you have to destroy the one thing that made sense in my life.." he cried with bloodshot eyes
The murderous intent in his gaze could kill her instantly. Alia clenched her fist until her knuckles turned white. "I never wanted to be your sister. I want to be the one on your heart" she snapped.
"And you think soone as vile as you can." Raphael scoffed. "Every second you touched my skin crawled. You disgusted so much I couldn’t bring myself to touch my wife, scared I would pass your rot to her..."
Alia went silent, she was completely humiliated.
Raphael drew in a deep breath to steady his emotions. "Just tell one thing. " he drawled. "Did mum know you were faking your pregnancy?" He asked, his teeth were gritting together
Alia couldn’t reply imdiately. Every second drew suffocatingly slow. "She never knew. All she helped do was to fra Lynn and get us together. The rest was ." She admitted to glancing at Raphael.
"I did it because of you Raphael. I love you so desperately that I can do anything for us to be together. "
A loud laugh rang in the room followed by my deep voice. "Are you still telling that lie Alia?" I scoffed then gave her a look that terrified her.
"Raphael let tell you a secret about Alia.." I chirped, Alia’s head snapped at .
"Please don’t," she begged but she was in no place to tell what to do.
I ignored her, my gaze pinned her to the floor. "Years ago Alia confessed to after our final exam in secondary school.." I explained smoothly.
The room went silent. "I rejected her and that’s how her obsession for you started." I paused, letting the words sink into her head.
"We look alike, sa build, height and better you were more composed so she thought you were an easier target. But what she never expected was for you to deeply fall for Lynn. That ate her up and the obsession to have you grew. She didn’t want to be the loser..."
The silence was deafening. The blow of realising the reason Alia’s obsession started wasn’t because of actual love left him pale. My words struck the nail on the head
Having seen enough of this show I grew bored and stepped toward the door, no longer interested. My hand gripped the door, before I left I gave one last statent. "I already sent evidence of Richard’s murder and the drugging incident to the police," I said. "They should be here by now."
Alia froze, everything snapped imdiately. Her expression twisted and without a mont of hesitation she shoved past and ran
She bolted out of the room, panic driving her forward. Neither of us followed, it was pointless. I smiled then followed after her. Alia barely made it far when she was tackled to the floor.
A few seconds later, shouting echoed from the hallway. Alia was pinned to the floor, and she was cursing and struggling to break free from their grip. Her screams filled the air as officers tackled her to the ground. "Let go of .. You would regret it." She scread.
"You are being arrested for fraud, toxication and murder. Ma’am, you have the right to remain silent ." The officer started saying her rights.
"I didn’t do anything.." she scread then glanced at Raphael crying.. "Raphael please don’t let them take away I love you. "
Raphael clenched his fist, his eyes were dead.."Take her away officer." He said coldly. She was yanked from the ground looking like her world just collapsed.
She stopped screaming as soon as she realised Raphael had no intentions of helping her. I watched them drag her away.
The only reason I used Richard’s fake death evidence was that it was clean, the other evidence would complicate things. Alia had no idea Richard escaped her first murder attempt and was handled by . Sylvia, Richard and even Sylvia’s mother were taken care of by
Alia had to go to jail for her cris, I’m going to make sure she gets a life sentence there I would make sure she understands why she should have never ssed with an Orlov most especially
I didn’t want her to die. That would be rcy for her.
I glanced over to Raphael. He was eerily quiet. I didn’t say a word and followed the police. I signalled the head of the operation to co over.
"Mr Volkov. Thank you for the help." She thanked . The lead was a woman in her late thirties in a sharp uniform and a no-nonsense face. Her hair was pulled into a bun giving her a sharp dominating presence.
I pulled out my phone which had been recording everything Alia said about Natalia from my pocket. The voice started playing word-for-word everything Alia said about Natalia.
I wasn’t letting any of them go. The lead investigator’s face turned stern as she listened until I ended it after Raphael asked about the pregnancy
"I understand. I will arrange an arrest warrant for Mrs Volkov. Thanks for the help once again. " she said, then quickly brought out her phone.
"I need back up to head straight to the residence of Mrs Natalia Volkov while an ergency arrest warrant should be processed.." she instructed on the phone.
With Natalia’s status they couldn’t arrest her abruptly without a proper warrant but with the severity of the cri. Natalia had access to banned drugs, which was drug trafficking and a serious offence.
She hung up the call. "We would watch her closely in case she attempts to flee before her warrant is processed."
