Sylvester POV
“What do you think you are doing in my room?!” I shouted.
Bella shivered in fear.
“N… N… Nothing… I just… Wanted to… Check on you. You weren’t in the…” She tried to explain.
“Get out!” I shouted.
She rushed to the door and opened. She stopped for a moment, but without looking back.
Then she left.
I wonder what she must have heard me say.
I’ve been like this since birth. I always speak out while I am asleep.
That is also one of the reasons I forbade her from entering my room.
The wrong move now, and everything will be revealed.
Why did I over sleep today?
Must have because of the drink I had last night.
I went down stairs after cleaning myself up a bit.
Bella was already at the table eating.
I sat at the other end of the table as I usually did and the cook served me my basic breakfast.
I ate and then got up from the table.
“Sylvester.” Bella called out to me.
“Yes?” I answered.
“I need to speak with you about something.” She said.
“I don’t have time for your childish talks.” I said.
I started to walk away from the dinning.
“Why do you hate my father?!” She yelled out.
I froze.
She heard me speak English n my sleep?
You were sleep talking.” She said.
I turned around and faced her. Our eyes clashed.
She stood from where she had being sitting and walked towards me.
“You said, and I quote: Adams! I hate you! Why did you do this to me?” Bella explained.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.” I said.
I tried to walk away from her but she dragged me back.
“Are you going to deny the proof as well?” She asked.
“What?! What proof?!” I asked.
“This one.” She said.
Bella brought out her phone and played a record of my voice when I had said it.
“What did my father do to you?” She asked.
“That is non of your business! Now give me that phone!” I yelled.
“No! Not till you tell me the truth!” She yelled back.
I dragged her to my room and locked the door behind us.
“Give me that phone! You will regret it if you don’t!” I said.
“What will you do? Will you kill me? Are you going to become a murderer as well as a liar?!” She said.
I gave her a thunderous slap and she fell to the floor.
“How dare you defy me?!” I shouted.
I took the phone away from her with force and gave her another slap.
“Next time, you will show me respect!” I shouted.
Tears filled up in her eyes and it made me happy.
I opened the door to leave.
“You’re a monster!” She cried out.
“I hate you! I hate you so much!” She shouted, still in pain and crying.
“Hate me? Let me give you what to hate.” I said.
I dragged her off the floor and threw her to my bed.
“You’ve always wanted sex right?! Now you will experience sex!” I shouted.
I started to tear off her clothes so I can gain access to her body.
“No!… Please stop!… Please I’m begging you!…” She cried aloud.
“It’s what you’ve always wanted! Now you will have it!” I said and continued.
“Your hands in the air!” A male voice said.
“Get the lady covered up!” A female voice said.
I got dragged off of Bella.
The police had arrived and now has me in their custody.
“What are you people doing in my mansion?! What gave you the audacity to enter without my permission?!” I shouted.
“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do here will be used against you in the court of law.” One of them said.
I watched as Bella was covered up with a cloth and taken out of the room.
I got pushed out of my mansion into a police car.
I sat there at the back with two police men seated at either side of me.
I don’t understand. What is happening?
How come the police came to my mansion in the first place?
Why are they here?
Could it be that bella had sent them the recorded voice?
That can’t be it. There was nothing incriminating about that voice record.
But what is it?
I kept wondering until we finally reached the police station.
I was brought out of the car and into the police station.
They took me into a particular room in the police station.
A room I have been in before but this time the cause is different.
But it was a cause I knew totally nothing about.
The only thing I knew for sure that they had on me is that I was caught maltreating my own wife.
Apart from that, nothing else.
It wasn’t something I would bother myself about or even get worried.
No, not at at all. This is because I am well aware of the fact that these police men can easily be bought off.
I had seen it happen during my time in prison in my own country.
This time, the interrogation was done by a woman.
“Mr billionaire, how are you doing?” The woman asked.
“How does it look like I’m doing? You people have a lot of explaining to do.” I said.
“Indeed. And so do you.” She replied.
“We had a search warrant. We did nothing wrong.” She said.
“Why would you get a search warrant? What did I do wrong? Did I commit any crime that I should know of? Because I am all ears.” I said.
“It’s good to know that you are already interested and paying attention Mr Sylvester.” She said.
I watched and waited for her to speak up.
“For one, you do t really have a clean record right now Mr Sylvester, or is that even your rea…” She wanted to say but a knock came to the door.
“I had told you that I don’t want to be interrupted. I hate interruptions while I’m doing my job.” She said.
“I’m sorry ma’am but there is a man here that wants to see you.” A police officer said.
“Who is it?” She asked.
“You have to come yourself.” The officer replied.
“Oh. I understand.” She said.
“I’m not done with you yet.” She said and left the room.
After a long time of waiting the woman returned.
“You are free to go.” She said.
“What?” I said.
“You can leave. I guess it was all a mix up.” She said.
A mix up? It didn’t sound like a mix up to me.
She seemed to have known exactly what she was doing.
I stood up and I was led out of the police station.
I made a call to my driver to come pick me up and he arrived in twenty minutes.
I sat in the car and the door was closed on my behalf.
But what about what I did to my wife? Why would they drop everything they had against me just like that?
“There is definitely something off.” I said.
“Off about what sir?” My driver asked.
“Nothing. Just keep driving.” I replied.
“Yes sir.” He replied.
