Chapter 122

Three years ago.

Triffany stepped out of a bus with her luggage on her hands, sunglasses on, she was wearing a beautiful yellow dress, her hair flapping at her back and shoulder because of the light breeze that blew.

Every time she wears yellow dress, it always signify she was happy, today was no different cause she had that beautiful smile on her lips, she had always been carefree.

She had just returned from California, after graduation, she had told her parents she need to explore for a year, she was finally back and heading to go see her parents.

"Wow!" She exclaimed as she looked around, she had told them all not to come to the airport to pick her up, whereas it was late when she arrive, she doesn't really love the written welcome note and so, she just love her space, plus, she had told her mother to prepare delicious dinner instead.

Her phone rang immediately she was about to cross the big cross road, she halt and searched her bag, she took out her phone and smile when she saw the caller ID. "Hello cousin." She called out.

"Hey, don't shout too loud, you might destroy my ear drum." Nick told her and Triffany frown, damn it! Her cousin, Nick was always trying to kill her happy mood.

"I am just excited to be back that's all." She try to ignore him, because he have always known Nick, she knew this was the type of person her cousin was.

"So, finally you came back from running away, you shouldn't be excited to return, no one sent you away, you decided to explore and leave on your own, so don't dare say you are excited." Nick told her from the other side of the line.

"Jeez!" Triffany rolled her eyes. "Instead of saying all these words, just tell me you missed my presence, since I have been away for a year."

"Miss you my bu**! I don't miss you, if there is a way to send you back then I would gladly do that."

"Honestly, you are a real pain in the ass, Nick please don't ruin my mood with your annoying words, I am hanging up if you don't have any better thing to say." She looked at the traffic light, if she doesn't cross no she might have to wait for another long time.

"Hey Triffany, hurry back home, we are all waiting for you at your family house, your mother prepare your favourite spicy food, that's all what I wanted to tell you, bye."

"Whatever!" Triffany hang up and held her luggage and started walking in a hurry to cross the road, the traffic light will turn green soon, the thought of going home and eating her mother's spicy meal again was so exciting.

She only had to get across the road and into a bus and then head back home, she was just a few minutes close to home, finally she had to see Tanner, her father and her mother and most of all Allison, a year away had made her home sick.

She was running across the crossroad and the buckle of her luggage came undone and her things fell, she noticed this and quickly bent down to pick it up and make a run before the cars start moving again.

As she bent down she heard the loud horn of a truck, she looked up at the traffic light that had turn green, and her eyes turned left to the large truck speeding over and then she looked behind her a red car was also riding close to her, she stills.

In order to avoid hitting Triffany the has to go out of it's lane and crashed to the speeding truck and the car somersault and came to a stop and Triffany grasped and clasped her hand to her mouth.

She sat down on the road looking at the accident that had just happened, other cars had come to a stop behind, people stepping out of the car to the scene, she couldn't move, she couldn't hear the loud noise from people, all her eyes were looking at was the young lady that was upside down in the car.

The lady was choking in her own blood as she look at Triffany, her hands were gripped to her phone and it gently dropped down the bottom of the car, and Triffany looked at the finger of the lady, she was wearing a ring, not any common ring, she was wearing an engagement ring.

Triffany saw tears rolled down the lady's cheek and mixed with the blood, Triffany couldn't mobile, her legs were trembling, her hands were shaking, all she knew was she was the cause of all this, she had murdered a person, she had killed someone, because of her, someone is going to die.

...

Carlos looked at Triffany as she explained to him with tears in her eyes, she was crying uncontrollably as she explained to him, she looked up at Carlos Zack, who was silent.

"I told you, I killed her, it was all my fault, i murdered someone." Triffany hands was trembling as she gripped the quilt and her lips quiver.

Carlos held her hands and held it firm, he made her look at him in the eyes. "No, you didn't kill someone, it wasn't your fault." He pulled her close to him and embraced her, he held her close to him.

Just hearing her explain all this to him, have made him have a little clue, a little clue as to why Jimmy was here, Jimmy doesn't love Triffany, no, now what Carlos regret was not doing anything when Jimmy kidnapped Triffany, Jimmy was dangerous, dangerous for Triffany and even his sister, everyone close to Triffany was endangered, if what he had put together, if his theory was right, he has to protect Triffany and everyone along her.

Jimmy sat down in the little office in his mansion as he looked at the picture on the wall, he smiled, as he tilt his head to a side. "This sure would be fun." He chuckled and then laid an eyes on the next picture after Carlos picture.

"Now for my next card." He chuckled and the picture he was looking at was seen. "Allison, you are up next." He tap his hands to the table as his gaze turned cold.

Carlos watched Triffany fall asleep, he gently covered her with the quilt, he switched off the room light and head out of the room, he couldn't fall asleep so he poured a glass of white wine for himself.

Everything he had heard has made his heart heavy, he gently sip his wine, as he recall 5he rest of the story Triffany told him.

Three years ago.

Triffany went to the hospital where the young lady had been taken, she wanted to see what happened to her, to know if she survived the accident.

When Triffany got there with trembling knees that was when she saw a young man spacing around, while they perform surgery on the lady.

Triffany walked over and leans her back to the wall, tears and fear filled her eyes, her mind was still occupied with the accident, the lady's face, the lady's eyes that had stared at her while choking with blood.

"Who are you?" She heard the man ask and she turn her face to see him staring at her with a cold expression, Triffany swallowed hard and stood up straight.

"Why are you here?" He asked again, this time his eyes were staring into her eyes, and Triffany who couldn't hold the gaze look away.

"No one." She turned to walk away.

"Sweat." The mam said and she halt in her track. "Trembling fingers, untied shoelaces." Triffany turn around to look at the man whose eyes were aflame.

"All this state one thing, you...how much role did you play in this accident!" He shouted and Triffany lost her balance as she staggered backwards till she touched the wall, her lips quiver, her eyes was looking down and her hands were trembling.

"Tell me." The man's voice was so cold and his face expressionless. "Why does my wife to be have to be in that state!" He shouted again and Triffany looked up at him.

"It...it...is all...my fault." She stammered and the man lifts the corner of his lips as he took each step closer to her.

"How so?" He asked her and Triffany look down again, guilt filled her heart. "Speak!" His voice send shudder down her spine and she squat down.

"In order to save me...in order to save me she ran into a truck, all in order to save me." Triffany stutter as she held her head with her two hands.

"You said, she ran into that truck because of you, how so, explain!" He shouted again.

Triffany happened to tell him how it went, she looked up at the man who started chucking but tears was in his eyes, she doesn't even understand why he was laughing, but it was a terrible laugh.

He looked down at her and his expression turned cold, he squat close to her and look into her eyes with his penetrating gaze. "What is your name?"

Triffany pressed her lips together, she was scared of this man in her front, cleared of what he will do to her, scared, cause she have never met a man that laughs when he was in tears or in pain, worst of it all was she cannot read his expression.

"If you won't tell me, then I would tell you mine." He lifts her chin up with the tip of his finger. "My name is Jimmy Billy." Triffany could feel the chills emitting from his face as he continue.

"And I hope you remember it all your life, because, the moment the doctors come out of that door." He use the other hands to point at the door. "With any form of bad news, then you will be the one to pay for it." He forcefully left her chin and got up.
