Chapter 058
Akira's POV
"What?" I screamed looking at Vida, she shrugged her shoulder.
"Yes, and I told her, I haven't set my eyes on you for two nights but I don't think she believes me and you, where the heck of you being, is your boss taking you back?" I sighed not knowing what to answer her, "C'mon Akira, you should tell me what is going on with you and what's with the injury in your nose?" She asked reaching for it, signed.
"It's a fucking long story from that annoying Ethan trying to rape me..."
She interrupted me, "Ethan did what?" I sighed.
"He spiked my drink and was going to rape me, if Wolfie didn't show up just maybe, that asshole would have succeeded in raping me and then he brought me home, Mother was so fucking desperate to have me come over and I was running away from Wolfie and I ended up been caught as if that is not enough, someone is looking for my necklace..." I disheveled my hair in frustration.
"So Ethan, did you already file a complaint about him?" I shake my head
"He is the least of my worries now, if mother is filing a complaint about me, then I must be in big shit," I sighed in frustration.
"Holy shit! You really are in a big shit," she said and I was rushing to the window to see what she is looking at, "Akira, you should hide, it's your Mom, she is coming with the cops."
"Open the damn door, Akira, I know you are in there, you should get out if not I would have the cops drag your friend into your position..." My lips drop, looking at Vida, "You have thirty seconds to make your decision or let Vida go for it," her voice was taunting.
"Akira no, don't give yourself, I can always..." I shake my head, I will not let Vida get into trouble because of me.
"No Vida, I will not drag you into my mess," I said pulling the door.
"Akira..." She called standing behind me, as I came face-to-face with my Mother and the cops behind her.
"Mother, what is this?"
"Now you are going to ask, didn't you know what you did to your sister? What are you turning into, a bully? Sending thugs after your sister, if you don't want to come back home, you should have just said it, and I will give you the freedom you desire, I only wanted what is good for you and since your sister kept requesting for you, I have to give in but I am not going to force you if you don't want to stay." I stare at mother with a confused expression, she is not been serious right now, she sends me out, now she is going act like she cares, in front of the cops, "you don't have to beat your sister with thugs and it breaks my heart that I am filing a complaint against my daughter?"
"Daughter?" I wanted to applaud her, she is too good for a supporting role, she should get a lead role, and I am sure, she will get an award for the best female lead.
"Oh mine, she doesn't want to acknowledge her mother," she burst into another round of made-believe tears, I rub my temple in frustration.
"Mother stop this drama. I don't know what game you and Ethan are playing but I am not interested in it, I have no idea what you are playing out,"
“Liar!” Sarah, my stepmother screamed, stepping closer. "Take her away, I am as for your sister, after her treatment, she will meet us at the prison."
"Wait..." Vida protested, the cops stepped into the room, pushing Vida aside before they quickly handcuffed me, and pushed me out of the room to the waiting patrol car, "Akira, don't worry, I am coming with you?" Vida said rushing back to the house, to get her phone.
It didn't take long before, we arrived at the police station, and the cops pushed me into the dimly lit interrogation room, that was casting shadows on the white wall, and illumination coming from a flickering overhead light. I sat in the cold metal chair, my wrists bound by handcuffs, even though it was light it felt like a heavy mental shackles, that my wrist couldn't hold the weight. My long hair was disarrayed as it fell on my back and face, the pain in my heart was nothing compared to the shocking expression on my face when looking at Linda, my supposed stepsister, having so many bruises on her skin and a black eye, the sight was shocking, "how the heck did you get all those bruises?" For a second, I had forgotten that I was here because of her. Mother launched into a tirade.
"You monster! After doing this to your sister, you are going to act innocent?" Sarah's voice was shrill, slicing through the air like a knife.
My heart raced, she was still blaming me for this. "I didn't do anything, I haven't even set my eyes on Linda since I left the house,"
"Don't lie to me!" Sarah screamed, stepping closer, her finger jabbing the air between us. "Linda just wanted her sister back, she misses you. She told me to give you the necklace if that will make you come home, but you send those thugs to withdraw the necklace and hurt your sister,"
My gaze moved to Linda, who was standing behind Mother, she glanced at me with a mixture of fear and something else, probably guilt, Linda could be everything but she didn't know how to conceal her emotions, something was fishy, I couldn't tell. I opened my mouth to protest, but Mother wasn't listening.
"That is enough woman," one of the cops said, even though her expression was cold towards me like the others, she seemed to be the nicest among them, she asked that they talk outside, leaving me sitting alone in this room, desperately trying to make sense of what had happened.
My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door creaking open again and this time, Vida was behind them. A young officer stepped in, carrying a clipboard. He looked at me with an unreadable expression.
"Akira, right?" he asked, sitting down opposite me. "You should tell me the truth and I will let you go,"
"That is the truth, I didn't touch her, Linda please, say something, you know I didn't touch you," I said, my voice trembling with frustration. "I swear, I haven't seen Linda in days, I know I was supposed to meet up with them last night but something came up..." I paused my lips.
The officer scribbled something on his clipboard. "Your Mother claims you send thugs to attack your sister, is that true?"
I shook my head vigorously. "That's a lie! I have no idea what they are talking about, I wasn't there,"
"Then who were you with?" he pressed toward.
"She is with me," Vida's voice came up.
"Vida, you work at the bar, and I came with the cops early in the morning and Akira wasn't there, so how is it possible that you and Akira were together?" Vida drops her gaze.
"Are you lying to cover up for your friend?" She shakes her head, Vida always be Vida. She still wanted to defend me.
"I am sorry but I know, Akira, will never hurt anyone, she will..."
"That is enough young lady," the officer stopped her before he moved his gaze back to me.
"It is obvious she is a liar and a monster?" Mother snarled.
"I wasn't alone. I have an alibi, you have to believe me. I didn't do anything." My words flew out of my mouth, yes, I have an alibi, I was with Wolfie for two nights, and he is my alibi.
The officer tilted his head to me, leaning back in his chair. "This is good, Akira. Maybe, you should call him here, so he could vouch for you?"
My mind raced. Wolfie, he was with me but that asshole called me a sexual partner, and I couldn't bear the thought of calling him now, not when things were so strained between us. He will think I am just using him and he is getting annoying, not like we are best of friends, I pushed the thought of calling him but he is the only one that I know could help me, so I decided to push my pride aside, even if he lashes out on me after now.
"Call Wolfie," I said finally.
