Chapter 37
'Good day to you all" Riel greeted them as soon as he got to the sitting room.
Riel and Desse arrived at the sitting room to meet their guest after so much time taking in the room. Riel didn't come downstairs on time because of Desse he was giving her reasons why she should come down with him and meet the guest. It was very difficult for him to convince her, but eventually she followed him.
Desse was following Riel at the back in fear, she was even more scared when she saw the people in the sitting room. The woman came with two other men who looked exactly like the men she saw in her dream. She tried as much as possible to comfort and behave herself so it won't be obvious that she was scared of them finding out that her son was the one that killed the maid. Riel greeted them but she only gave them a sign greeting and sat down very close to Riel.
'Good evening Alpha and Luna" the late Mum greeted while her accomplice also did the same.
'To what do we owe this visit?" Riel asked in a very serious tone.
'We are sorry for intruding in your privacy, Sir." One of the men that came with the late maid's mother said.
'We are human rights lawyers and we are here for our clients." He continued as he brought out his identity card and showed them.
'Human rights?" Desse shouted shockingly.
'Yes Ma"
'Ehhh!!" She shouted as she adjusted herself on the chair.
Her voice was so loud that they had to all turn and look at her to know if someone was wrong or if they said anything bad. Riel tapped her and said to her in her ear that she should stop acting weird and behave herself which she did.
'This lady was in our office three days ago and she said she lost her daughter who happens to be a maid in this mansion six days ago, but she was informed after 24 hours of her death. She said she was not able to ask you in full detail about the curse of her daughter's death because she was still in shock and really devastated at that point. So, I and my team are here to get more enquiry and know more about the death of her late daughter, a former maid of this mansion" one of the lawyers said to the.
'She also brought to our notice that according to her tradition she's not allowed to see her daughter's dead body because it's a bad omen and she is forbidden to do so. She said people who saw her daughter's cops said she had a very big cut on her neck, which shows that her daughter had been killed by a wild animal but we are not really sure about that until we see her dead body and perform an autopsy on her." The second man explained further.
'First of all, we would want to know the name of the mortuary where her body was taken to, so we could go and see her body to know if she was truly killed by a wild animal."
'We would also like to perform an autopsy on her to wh at t exactly was the cause of her death."
'Hmmmm." Desse took in a very deep breath.
'Are you okay Ma?" One of the lawyers asked her.
'Hmmm鈥� I am just so sad right now because her daughter was one of my most trusted and responsible maids. She was always diligent in her work, I never knew she was going to leave us so soon. I promise if I could whine back time I would have prevented her from dying."
'Calm down darling" Riel said to her as he tapped her on her back.
Desse turned and looked at Riel, she gave him a sign that she was okay even if she was trying to hold back herself from crying.
'I know how you feel, but I just want to know what actually killed my daughter. She was all I got and the least I can do for her as her mother is to fight for her justice." Her mother said in a very sad tone.
'I mean no harm at all Ma, because I know how nice you were to my daughter when she was alive and even after her death you have been really supportive to me."
'Then why do you still do all of these, it really is not necessary." Desse replied to the woman.
'Because I want to know the truth. What if she was killed by one of the maids or even the guards and we are here thinking that she was killed by a wild animal."
'I and my husband here, who happens to be the alpha, would make sure we provide everything and anything you need even after we are done with your daughter's burial."
'I know but I still have to鈥�"
'You still have to do what? Doubt us? make us look in capable or stupid by bringing human right to our house or what? We already assured you that we will take care of everything you need."
'No Ma, I swear, I actually did not mean it that way. I know how much you meant to my daughter. She even once told me that the death that should take your life should take hers instead because you are also like a mother to her. I would still honor her words even after her death, but as a mother I would want to still get justice for her."
'And how sure are you that she would like justice. You know how peaceful she was, she would never choose violence for any reason."
Desse said as they both bursted into tears.
'Am sorry we couldn't save her, I am sorry you had to lose your only daughter. I know she was your only daughter but I hope you know she had friends who were already like sisters to her. I know you will also be a good mother to them."
'It okay, I am sure she would not like to see the both women she saw as a mother this sober so let's cheer up a little even if I knots hard to do so.
Desse and the woman cried so hard while the men struggled not to because seeing the two of them was really very emotional. Few minutes later, they all left the mansion and went to mortuary where her body was while they prepare for her funeral.
