Myles’s POV
“And how do you know this?”. I asked again. She had started to act strange, Cindy was now acting weird like she had a secret she could never tell anyone.
“Ohh, I browsed from Google and I saw Rita and her sister Sadie”. Cindy replied and I nodded.
Of course it was a lie…
“Excuse me please”. I said and left the parlor, I headed to Cindy and Skyler’s room..
I was trying to see if I could find any substance or evidence that can actually say something about Cindy, I ransacked the wardrobe… I checked the store but nothing was there, I checked under the bed and saw a key but as I tried to pick it, I heard her voice and I pushed the key back.
“Myles, what’re you doing?”. She asked with a scared tone and I removed my ring from my finger and dropped it on the floor.
“Actually, uhh I was trying to borrow Skyler’s cream, mine is expired so I uhh you know uhh… My ring dropped and I … I…I wanted to pick it when you entered”. I said stammering. I hated liars so I didn’t like lying..
..
..
“Okay”… She said and nodded as I left the room hurriedly after taking Skyler’s cream.
I breathed a sigh of relief as I went to the parlor…
“Come and join us, we’re playing a game, a couple’s game”. My mom said as they sat on the dinning table…
“Yes sweetheart, come and join us”. Ellen said and I grinned angrily and went to join them.

Skyler’s POV
“It’s almost time for the game”. I said and she nodded.
“What happened Cindy, you look worried”. I asked.
“Actually, there’s nothing”. She replied.
“But even I was worried, how come you knew Rita so much”. I said.
“I told you I researched on Google”. She said avoiding my gaze and combing her hair.
“Her information is not on Google”. I said and she looked frightened. I had began to suspect her…
“Maybe it was deleted”. She replied.
“I hope you’re not lying to me cause I hate liars”. I said and went to the parlor..

Cindy’s POV
Now what is going to happen?
Everyone is suspecting me… I can’t tell them the truth,. I was once a murdered before, how could I tell them I was the one who killed Myles younger sister (Naomi)…
.
Flashback.
“It’s today we’re going to kidnap Naomi for the ransom, if we threaten the Horace family, they will be forced to pay”. Sadie said and I and Rita nodded.
“Fiona, what do you suggest?”. Rita asked me.
“It’s a good idea, the earlier the better”. I replied and we got into the car.
As soon as the car that would drop Naomi in school approached the gate.. Rita fired at the car’s Tyre and the car hit a big tree….
I and Sadie ran to take Naomi who was already injured…
We tried to prevent her from shouting and screaming for help, we might get caught and I didn’t want to be in prison…
“They’re kidnapping me”..
“Someone help me”.
One slap from me sent that six year old girl dead…. And I could never forgive myself… It’s a sin I still carry in my heart and Rita would want to blackmail….
End of Flashback
Now how could I tell them this….
There’s no possible way…I said to myself as I joined them at the dinning table.
..
“Mother, I just remembered Naomi today”. Skyler said and my heart started to beat… I was imagining that event, how she died…
“Who’s Naomi?”. Ellen asked.
“Our last child that died in an accident, our 6 year old daughter…. Myles sister”. His mother said.
So they believed it was an accident.??
“Today is her birthday” Myles said and tears tickled from his eyes…
Would he want his brother to marry a murderer ??
..
..
Ellen and Myles won one round and Myles mistakenly hugged Ellen…. She screamed and stood up…
“Yes Yes Yes”. She shouted.
“Momma, don’t worry, Myles would do the washing of all our clothes today and the cooking”.
She said and we laughed.?
“Why?”. Skyler asked
“Because he loves to cook”. Ellen said and Myles got up..
