I Swear, Let Me Love You Again

3RD POV:

She grabbed her gun from her back and pointed in the direction of the policeman and shot at his leg.

“Calling for backup and an ambulance. It seems the suspect is heading to the sea as well.” One police officer spoke into the radio and the chief detective sucked his teeth sharply.

Jenny felt like she was in cloud 9 until the police released tear gas making her eyes hurt and burn but she had soon arrived at the shore of the sea and still shot about three times though she couldn’t see clearly.

“I can barely see, uggghhhh.” She cried as her eyes were burning and she coughed. The police officer who was near to her felt accomplished as they would finally apprehend her.

“It’s over, raise your hands up and drop your weapon.” The officer commanded and there was still some distance between them.

Jenny raised her hands up showing off her gun and muttered, “Over my dead body.”

The second she said that, the echoing sound of the gun in the woods was heard. The police officer looked back and turned right back to Jenny only for him to realize the bullet had hit her at her chest area and Jenny’s eyes went wide. Another bullet hit her arm and she instantly fell into the large sea.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“The suspect has been shot. Who did this?” The officer informed the force over the radio and everyone ran to the shore. The officer was baffled and he looked down at where Jenny had fallen only for him to see the blue clean water mixed with blood.

“She’s dead. She must have been dead.” He concluded and the police all around came closer and began to ask him questions, calling fellow officers, the marine unit and some others.

The assassin who was around the bush wearing a black mask and a police uniform carrying a black suit case, smirked and walked away into the dark of the bush before the sunset rose.

“Mission accomplished boss. I killed her…. shooting her twice.” He informed Lydia’s friend who smiled in content then hung up the phone.

Jenny was dead.

5 HOURS LATER.

“Welcome to the breakfast news at 10, Breaking news, earlier this morning. The police had chased down the suspect, Jennifer Bilsity and it turns out she had shot about two policemen and based on the reports from the policemen and detectives, it turns out Miss Jennifer Bilsity who was accused of attempted murder was shot twice and it’s unclear where the gunshot came from and who shot her.”

Everybody was in disbelief as they heard the news, Mrs King who was at breakfast enjoying her meal and drinking her tea instantly dropped it down.

“What?!” She exclaimed and her hands trembled with tears brimming in her eyes. She searched for her phone in an attempt to call Jenny but the call dropped.

“It can’t be…. it can’t be.” She cried covering her mouth and watched clips shown from the scene of the shot out. Her heart broke into two as she had seen Jenny as a daughter to her, she loved her more than her own daughter, Rachel. She just sat down on the couch and broke down crying.

Nathaniel was in shock as he watched the news on his iPad at work, so was Rachel. Nathaniel leaned back in his seat uncertain if this is what he wanted, Jenny couldn’t just die like that. He wanted her to at least learn from her mistakes and do better not to die like a common criminal. He was hurt and disappointed with Jenny and the police. He felt the police were incompetent despite their hard work throughout the night.

Kelvin, who had provided the evidence showing Jenny who was guilty, leaned back in his seat and laughed hysterically. He was baffled but for some reason, it was quite amusing. He spoke to Liam on the phone about the situation and he drew a conclusion.

High school and college friends of Jenny and Nathaniel were in utter shock at the news. It was insane.

So Jennifer had just passed away like a criminal?

But the Millers, Lydia and her father, did not want to believe Jenny was dead until they had seen her body with their eyes.

“Look, Mr Miller and Lydia Miller, we are working on it. The marine unit is searching tirelessly for her body and it is said that the sharks might have eaten her body as there are many around the sea.” The assistant to the Chief Detective addressed the Millers and Lydia scoffed.

Her phone began to buzz in her pocket in her shoulder bag and she excused herself to answer it seeing that Ariana, Lorena and even Aaron had texted her just checking up on her. Lydia felt horrible that she still hadn’t talked to Lorena yet about her situation with Darren.

“Hello?” She answered, unsure of who it was as it was a private number.

“Are we good now?” The voice of her friend rang through her ear and she smiled.

“You did that?” She questioned and he shrugged like he could see her.

“Just take care of yourself and call if you need anything. Though you have broken my cousin’s heart and mine in the past, we still will always be there for you.” He spoke, referring to Aaron.

“Thank you Jeremiah.” Lydia replied softly and he hung up afterwards. She didn’t know how to feel at the moment, but what had she expected when she told a murderer who had a crush on her in the past to take care of someone who almost killed her?

The police had believed they had been the ones who shot at her because about three officers had shot at once in an attempt to stop Jenny, so they had gotten their stories right for the pressm

Mrs King, who was in black car, saw Lydia smiling from her tinted window and stared at her with hatred in her heart.

She will pay. Mrs King spoke to herself.
