Chapter 170
Asher’s POV
We ended up going to Iris’s family house as I barged in with the police getting in and making sure the coast was clear.
When it was clear, I entered to see her with her fiancé who was there by coincidence.
Delia came down from the stairs to see me and immediately widened her eyes in shock. She had not expected to see me and I was even more surprised.
“What in the world?” I muttered under my breath. But I should not be surprised. They were best friends. It wasn’t like this was new.
“What are you doing here?” Delia asked in shock seeing the officers beside me. “I didn’t do anything so what’s with the officers?”
“We are not here for you,” I said looking at Iris. “Officers, arrest her.”
“Why are you arresting me?!” Iris yelled as the officers cuffed her while reading the normal police message for her.
“Please don’t hurt her,” her fiancé said as he was pushed to his seat. Delia tried to intervene with the officers pushing her back.
“I was only following Delia’s orders!” Iris yelled as Delia recoiled. She had not expected that from her best friend. “Take her with me if you’re going to arrest me! She was the one who said that I should do it. This was all her idea!”
“I don’t know what she’s talking about,” said Delia. “I just showed up here and I didn’t even know she was doing anything. Besides, what did she do anyway?”
An officer told her as she feigned ignorance and gasped. She was playing with me but I could see through her tricks. Did she think she could break out of this so quickly?
Iris’s fiancé yelled for the police officer to stop as he walked to Iris and took the ring from her finger.
“It’s over,” he said to her as she cried and begged for him to not do it.
“Please,” Iris begged. “I love you jack. Please don’t do this to me. Please!”
“I can’t stay with a murderer. Do you even know how much embarrassment you have brought upon me and my family? I can’t stay with someone who would poison another human being and for what?”
“I did it because of Delia,” she said with Delia screaming that her name should not be mentioned in the same sentence with poison.
“Your friend said she didn’t do anything like that. She didn’t send you to do it so you must also be lying. If you can poison people, what would you do to me?”
“Baby…”
“Don’t,” he sighed, taking the ring to put in his pocket. “It’s over. “Take her away,” he said just as the officers did that, taking her away while she screamed.
I looked at Delia to see her smirking. This was all her doing. I felt sorry for Iris. Her friendship has cost her her freedom and her relationship.
I knew I could not get Delia arrested based on statements alone. Iris was caught on camera talking to the baker and they had their statements in the camera boldly heard.
There was no escaping their prison. Delia on the other hand might have done this from the shadows but that was not enough to put her behind bars.
When the cops had gone and left us alone, I stared at Delia with hatred.
“You just ruined your bestfriends life,” I chuckled. “You seriously are a demon.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. She brought that on herself.”
“You’re right. She brought that on herself by being with a friend like you. You are the worst human on this planet. How could you send poison to your fellow human? Zen has never done anything like this to you.”
“Asher,” she called with a calm tone. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. If I did, trust me I’d know.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
I sighed. She had changed from that woman who tried to blackmail Zendaya in that restaurant to this woman who was bold enough to poison Zendaya.
I was beginning to fear her. What was she not capable of doing? She was a danger to everyone around. I could not understand how I had seen her as someone to get married to.
“I will get you for this one day,” I smiled. “You just wait and see. You will one day join your friend in prison.”
“You only have statements and no proof that I did anything,” she smirked, falling into a couch with her legs crossed. “I don’t know about you but I don’t like when I am falsely accused of almost killing someone.”
“I am not falsely accusing anyone. I know you have been behind the pain we all have been facing and I swear to God that I will get you for all of it. All your crimes, I will get you for all of them and make you rot in jail!”
“Mr President,” an inspector said by the door as I heaved a sigh before walking to the door.
“Trust me Delia, when the time comes, I will not show any mercy.”
“Send my regards to Zendaya,” she smiled while looking at her nails.
She had won this round. We would see how the next round was going to go.
I knew Delia, she would show up again and I would teach her a lesson.
My phone rang as I picked it up to hear it was the doctor treating Zendaya. My heart skipped.
“Is there anything wrong?” I asked, looking as Iris fought against an officer who tackled her to the ground in a tough way.
“No sir,” he said. “I’m calling to let you know that Zendaya is awake.”
That was the news I had been praying to receive for a very long time.
There was no need for me to be here.
I jumped into my car and drove off followed by two police cars.
I was so happy that she was awake.
“I’ll get you Delia.”
