In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 230

“Well, if you guys still don’t want to cooperate, we might have to get our hands dirty. It should be easy enough to get away with a few murders since you guys were able to do it,” I said in a serious tone while staring at the two of them menacingly.

“Please don’t! Ms. Stovall, we’ll do anything you ask. Just leave our wives and kids out of this. They’re innocent and innocuous. The blame is all on us. If revenge is what you want, then you can take our lives instead. We’ll give you anything that you want!”

“Yes, we’ll do anything as long as you leave our families out of this.”

The two men were acting pitiful, which disgusted me. I calmed myself down before looking at Marcus and suggested, “Since they both agreed, let’s have them re-enact the scene!”

Marcus nodded and brought out the actress who was going to play a pregnant lady. She was dressed in the clothes that I wore on the day of the incident. The actress we found already had some resemblance to me in terms of looks and body figure. But after a few touches by the make-up artist, the identicality between us was surreal.

To top it off, Marcus also ordered his men to bring out the same mirror from that night.

After setting everything up, the warehouse returned to how it was during the incident two months ago. As for the stormy inclement weather on that night, we prepared additional lighting and sound effects to reproduce the same ambiance.

Since I didn’t want to cast my mind back to the incident, I only gave the actress a laconic explanation of what I went through that night. After that, I told Marcus to get some of his men to escort me home as I couldn’t care less about watching the play. The video recording of the play was what I actually wanted because I could use it as evidence.

As for the two men’s confession, I already knew who their client was, so there was no need to hear it from them. I wanted their admission because I needed testimonies that I could hand over to the police. With this, I could make sure that they were indicted for the crimes that they committed and given the fitting punishment.

However, I have to admit that people do change after going through certain experiences. We become stronger as we slowly become immune to the things that once hurt us. Those who are vulnerable will learn to steel their hearts and move on.

After arriving at my residence, I went to have a quick shower and then passed out on my bed. It had been quite a while since I had such a good night’s sleep.

It was pure hogwash that people couldn’t sleep after doing a bad deed. In fact, no bad person would ever rue the dreadful things that they had done. Rebecca and Cameron were the epitomes of such people. Even after murdering those whom they had beef with before, they were still able to sleep soundly at night. In fact, they even felt relieved that the people who got in their way were dead.

…

The next day, Marcus gave me the video recording of the play enacted by the two men while we were at White Corporation. “So, what do you plan to do next?” asked Marcus.

It was pure torture for me to watch the video recording because I felt as though I was experiencing that incident all over again. I then turned to Marcus and said, “Schedule a meeting with John as soon as possible.”

“Why do you want to meet him?” asked Marcus while frowning.
