Chapter 13: A murder

Evelyn’s POC

We slept in the sweetest way possible he held me, and his face was on mine but when we woke up his face was on my chest, it felt pretty babyish to me😂.

When I woke up I wanted to quietly go to the bathroom without waking him up but he did.

“I'm sorry Walt, I didn't want to wake you up”

“It's fine babe”

“Good morning “

Then I bent over and kissed him even though we both had morning breath.

“Hmmm, someone seems extra romantic today, Good morning babe”

He kissed me again.

“Babe we have morning breath”

“Babe?? Oh my God please I don't want this morning to end😂, And it doesn't matter you started it remember? So don't stop me now😋”

We were kissing when we heard a loud noise come from outside and we immediately jumped up from the bed. Ours and his friend's room were close to each other so if they needed something maybe in the night, they could easily reach us.

so we were sure the noise was from one of their rooms.

Walt insisted I change my dress, so I did, I wore a longer blue dress, brushed my hair and we both just sprayed mint mouthwash in our mouths and took Mentos Gum to chew.

Immediately We got outside, the atmosphere changed I just knew something bad had happened.

I saw Chloe and everyone else they were all crying and my eyes began to turn red too, Walt held my hand when we got to where they were standing and I saw police inside Christopher and Rachel's room.

“What happened here? Why are there police all over the place Chloe “

“Evelyn, Christopher was found dead near the pool this morning “

“Dead?!!! What do you mean dead?”

“He was murdered”

“How do you know that?”

A very devastated Walt asked.

“He was stabbed 9 nine all over his body, that's what the police said “

“Oh My God”

I shouted and almost fell, Walt immediately hugged me but he was also shivering, his hands were immediately very cold, and his face turned red. I could tell he was trying to fight the tears. I didn't know Christopher that much and I also never liked him but I would never wish death on anyhow.

Tears rushed down my eyes, I held Walt and patted his back because I could never guess how he was feeling.

The police walked to me and told me to follow him to the place where everything happened. We got to the pool and I saw Rachel, she was covered in her husband's blood she cried so much she looked so thin.

When she saw me and Walt she ran to us.

“I didn't kill him I swear, you need to believe me, they want to pin the blame on me, but I didn't do it, this isn't the first time he would hit me so why would I kill him now? Please help me”

She kept talking while crying and it made me cry even more.

“It's fine Rachel, just calm down it's fine”

Walt said and immediately Hugged her and I patted her back.

The police took me to the exact place where the body was found, they already used white chalk to draw exactly how the body was found on the ground.

One thing about the death was shocking to me I immediately remembered how the kid was found the previous day it was in the same position the kid was found and also close to the pool.

“Officer a child was found here too in this exact place and position just yesterday morning, but he wasn't dead we found him and his mum took him to the hospital “

“A child?”

“Yes”

“Do you know which hospital they went to?”

“I'm not sure “

“We need to know how the child is doing and maybe ask a few questions “

My hotel was in a mess I looked around and it felt like a dream. I never pictured the morning after my wedding to be filled with sorrow.

Martha and Matthew walked toward us when I saw them I rolled my eyes. Martha walked toward Rachel and held her hand.

“You can tell them you killed him, just say it was self-defense”

Martha said to Rachel, Rachel looked at her and yanked her hands off hers.

“Martha, why not shut the fuck up if you have nothing else to say”

Chloe stepped into Rachel's defense.

“Oh, please we all know that Martha killed her husband because he always hits her and he did last night if not for Walt and Matthew who stepped in it would have been worse”

The police all looked confused, they were reporters all over the place capturing the scene. And some of the hotel guests stood outside to look.

Walt has been quiet and he looked stunned to even speak.

The police walked to Rachel.

“I'm sorry madam but you never told us your husband used to hit you and that he hit you last night”

I was too weak to say anything I could not even stand on my own, everything was completely upside down.

“Did you kill your husband out of self-defense Mrs. Rachel?”

When the reporters heard that they took pictures and they kept asking her questions.

“No, I didn't do it, it was me, please “

Walt dragged me and we both covered Rachel and dragged her inside with the reporters all over us, we got upstairs and I walked up to Martha I was so angry and tired of everything but if I had to use my last strength to talk to her I would.

“Martha, are you trying to complicate things even more?”

“What did I do? We all know she did it right? Isn't it obvious her husband hit her so she killed him because she was tired “

“Then why didn't I do it since huh? Why now or do you think I enjoy it when he beats me? If u wanted to I would have but I'm not so heartless”

Rachel immediately replied to Martha.

The police walked into the room we were in.

“Madam Evelyn we might have a lead”
