Chapter 5
So they were dead. Both of them, first Sophie and until then my father. This was not a coincidence, it could not have been, but why was my father dead? It was also a death by poison… but who had poisoned him? Who would gain an advantage from that? Who hated him so much that he had to die? All the thoughts were roaming through my head and built a bewildering cluster, which was causing all this throbbing. An act of revenge it was sounding in my head irrevocably. An act of revenge? But who would do such a thing? And how would both events of death be connected, as it was me who had poisoned my wife’s tea? Who had killed him? WHO?
The door opened and my wife stepped in. “Darling”, she aspirated in my ear as came closer and every warmth vanished from her face. Nobody was with her except for Emro, who was always on her side, we were alone and that was it what made me scared. “Did you hear about it, I mean the thing with your dad, his death?” A coldhearted, triumphant smile scurried over her face and her eyes mirrored pleasure and predominance. She was still standing and I knew with that simple gesture, she just wanted to directly show me how much superior she was. “Tragic how the doctor said he was also poisoned…two family members on just one day!” I did not miss out on the sound of her voice. This time she was determined to make me hear her deceitful tone behind that good façade.
“I know about it, but what do you want here,” I answered irritated, as I totally forgot about my security for one moment, but instead of scampering her dog or her guard on me, to torture me yet again, she said: “I just wanted to check if you were already informed about that, because this has consequences for us now, as they are thinking our whole family is in danger now!” She put so much emphasis on the word think that I could not miss it that she thought it was stupid and foolish. “From now on only guards are going to walk around here. Mister Commissar and his helper already agreed that they will not stop before the wrongdoer is captured!” She looked directly into my eyes and smiled coldly and suddenly I realized that it was only a matter of time until they would find out and say that I killed my sister! “Well, I can see that you are still hurt…That’s why I will leave you to it! I hope you’re having a nice evening and a pleasant night!” The door was closed again and I was sitting there, just one thing going through my heard, I needed to flee today.
