Aaliyah's POV My body was shaking and I couldn't utter any word when Carson's security arrived. I wanted to stop them from taking me away but I can no longer control my body. My mind was still at that moment when I killed Liam. "Bring her to my condo," Carson ordered them. I saw his man nod his head at him. I looked at Carson with tears cascading in my eyes. "You won't go to jail I promise," he uttered then walked closer and planted a kiss on my forehead. "Take a rest okay?" he asked but I couldn't respond all I can do is to stare at his face. I felt like I have lost my voice My mind has so many things to say but I can't find my voice to utter all those. I felt my body dragged away from that scene. I wanted to protest and stop them from taking me away but I can't. A few hours later I just found myself sitting on the couch while watching the news about Carson. "Carson Augustus, the son of the prestigious Augustus Clan is the prime suspect in killing a well-known model and the son of a business tycoon, Liam Carter," the reporter uttered and after a while, I saw Carson held by two policemen. I can feel my phone ringing on my side but I have no energy to pick it up. I can no longer function and all I can think of is the moment when I stabbed Liam Carter's chest. After a while, I heard the doorbell ring but all I do is cry on the couch without even thinking about opening the door. I was just there quietly until I saw Carson's man in front of me again. "The police will arrive a few hours from now to search Mr. Augustus' unit, we have to leave Ma'am," the man uttered but I didn't respond and after a while, I felt my body dragged out of Carson's unit. I was lost in the present moment that is why when I arrived at Augustus mansion and when my parent's bombarded me with questions all I can do is to stare at them without uttering any words. "I heard Carson talking to you on the phone and after that, he left in hurry. Then after few hours since he left I saw him on the news, the prime suspect in killing a model, aren't you with him?" my father asked and all I can do is stare at his face like I always do. " Answer me Aaliyah! " he demanded but I couldn't utter any words. After a while, I felt my mother's comforting touch. "I won't let them ruin my son's life." my father uttered firmly then walked towards his office leaving me and Mom on the sala alone. I looked at my mother and she looked at me all concerned. She held my face and then caressed it softly which triggered my tears again. " Tell me what happened Aaliyah," she softly uttered but all I can do is stare at her face. "I won't get mad I promise," she added but I couldn't answer her. I wanted to talk badly and tell them that I am the one who killed Liam Carter but I can't.
