Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 5- Thomas's murderer

Stacey's POV

It was my sister Pearl and Mason in that room.

I gasped and they saw me, I ran from there quickly.

I mean I and Mason don't have a romantic relationship but why would he be sleeping with my sister as well? Oh! I was pissed and why would Pearl even do that.

Pearl came downstairs with a smirk on her face as she sat next to me and said "you're not upset, are you? I mean seeing as you said nothing was going on between you two, right Stacey?"

I could tell she knew something was going on but I mean it's Pearl, she excites over things that make me sad or furious.

Pearl left and went back home and then Mason came to me and had the guts to blurt out some insensitive words…

"You don't have a problem with what you just saw, do you? I mean we don't have a romantic relationship going on, it's just sex and plus you're married".

I knew I had no reason to be mad asides the fact that he felt that my sister should've been next on his smash list.

I got on the phone with mom just to hear if Pearl told her anything concerning my affair with Mason but she didn't.

Instead mom said she was going on an all expenses paid trip to the Bahamas and that she was about to call me to inform me.

I was relieved that my parents were having the time of their lives. I mean I've yearned so much for all of that to happen.

Thomas arrived home from work with Mason and Catherine made lunch for everyone including Pearl.

We all sat round the table to eat and I noticed things were a bit weird as Thomas was looking at Pearl weird, I for one thought it's because he doesn't like her .

Mason kept trying to touch me from under the table which made me really uncomfortable and I could tell that Catherine knew something was going on but she wasn't fully aware.

I really didn't care less about Catherine because she was just a house keeper but there was something about her that just didn't sit well with me for some reason.

Everyone was done having lunch and I left the table right after Pearl left.

Mason cornered me and tried to caress me and yes, maybe I've been yearning for this but I couldn't bring myself to accept the fact that he also has something going on with Pearl.

I really hated the idea, just as I was about to object he whispered in my ears "shuuuu, just enjoy this, it's all you've always wanted".

He really wasn't wrong, so we were making out by the corner of my room when suddenly I spotted Catherine, she saw us.

I followed Catherine and begged her not to say anything to Thomas or anyone, she promised to but I really wasn't sure whether to trust her so I decided to just keep an eye on her whenever she was around Thomas.

Right when I entered my room, there was a knock on the door and before I could say "come in" he came in, it was Thomas demanding for sex as usual.

I refused because indeed I've had a long day, disregarding the fact that I signed a contract I was exhausted.

I ran out the room and went out to get some fresh air.

On getting into the mansion I decided to go up to Thomas's room to apologize seeing as I signed a contract and my family's life of luxury lay in his hands.

On getting there I found Thomas of Pearl and she was struggling to get away from him. I mean how dare he try to force himself on my sister.

At this point all senses of reasoning were lost when I picked up a glass vase and threw it at his head…

He fell off Pearl and I was glad that I saved my sister for Thomas until I moved closer to him and realized he lay there lifeless.

"Did I just end the life of Thomas Johnson?".

Pearl stood there speechless and so did I, I mean "where do I go from here?".

"How do I cover my tracks".

And then Mason walked in on us…

He was just as shocked and speechless as us.

We all stood in silence for a while before Mason broke the silence while still in shock and asked what happened.

Pearl explained to him, I couldn't say a word, I mean he wasn't the best person but I most definitely never imagined I would take anyone's life, even by accident.

Mason suggested that we take the body to a far place to dispose of the body seeing as it was late and waiting till the next morning would be very risky…

We all agreed that if the police should get involved, we were all testifying against .

Catherine. I agreed because she had my secret and I couldn't let her roam, seeing as I just murdered Thomas, I mean that would keep me from having any access to his wealth.

We wrapped the body up and were about to move it out of the mansion when he heard the doorbell ring…

Seeing as we didn't know how it was, we decided to take the body to Catherine's room just in case it was anyone who could get us in trouble.

When I opened the door, to my surprise, they were here so fast, the police…
