Tom Kennedy
I wish you were dead. Why just why on earth you are still here
he threw vase on the floor. Shredded vase was everywhere on the floor.
Stephanie smith
You can't do this to me, we are married for four years now. We have a little baby. How can you just blame for something I haven't done.
she cupped his face and looked straight into his eyes.
Stephanie smith
Just listen to me. Here please, for once
she was bowling her green soft eyes were filled with tears, falling straight on her cheeks then on his hands.
Stephanie smith
Look, I didn't. Please. I didn't. She called me and asked me to visit her because she was leaving for Japan so, I just went to me-meet her. Nothing else. Trust me please.
She wasn't able to hold herself, she was breaking, tears were everywhere. There entire room was upside down. Everything was checked by police.
Tom hold her shoulders and said
Tom Kennedy
so, where is she, where are the messages she sent you and why police is in our penthouse. Tell me.
Tom Kennedy
I believed you in every aspect of life but how can you just go to visit someone, and they are gone. Who are you fooling. hah?
he stopped and took his phone out.
Tom Kennedy
If she wanted to meet you than she could have visited. She was always welcomed here. But why she will ask you, and then
he took a deep breath and said
Tom Kennedy
and then text me that your filthy wife is here to kill me.
He didn't want to say this, but that is what was written in the text.
Tom Kennedy
So, how can I believe you. When she clearly asks me to help her. So she can live little longer
She wasn't able to process all this how and why? Her friend would do such thing. Just how?
Tom Kennedy
Tell me everything or me, you know what I am capable of.
Tom Kennedy
This is not the first time you threaten her. Right! On your brother's wedding you even tried to stab her. Am I wrong, she always said that you acted in front of me and tried hard to make me fool. But now. Huh?
She was so dumbfounded by his venomous words. When and how he learned such language. In her mind he was still that sweet young boy who she fell for. But who was he? he wasn't her tom. He was some sort of imposter living in Tom's body.
as she was silent, he violently shook her shoulders. tears fall of her eyes. she didn't close her eyes. she was looking into dark abyss where there was no love for her.
Tom Kennedy
tell me where is she
Tom Kennedy
I said, tell me
something broke I think it was a heart of women standing in front of tom.
Stephanie smith
I-I do-don't know.
She was stammering. Was it fear?
Wait fear from whom? Her husband? Her love?
Tom Kennedy
Do as I said tell me Steph tell me, or I will.
He pointed his palm as if he was about to slap her face.
She couldn't hold it. She was broke. Sometime physical pain is nothing as compare to mental.
Stephanie smith
lost her consciousness.
protective layer
he called her name multiple times and shook her.
He tapped on her cheeks. That is when he realized.
Stephanie smith
Her cracked lips, steins of dried tears and some newly freed from the prison of lashes. Falling of her cheeks.
He realized that he went too far.
He took a deep breath and said
Tom Kennedy
I am sorry Steph, you know how much I have loved you and cared for you.
He was carrying her to their king-sized bed.
Tom Kennedy
I wasn't expecting when police barge in my office. You don't know that time how I felt.
Tom Kennedy
When they showed me your hair clip which I gave you in college.
he put her on her side of bed and covered her with blanket.
Then he went to his study and opened the drawer of his office desk. Took out a black case contain cigars. Took one and lit it.
opened the glass door of balcony and went outside
Tom Kennedy
cold breeze pass over him.
Hairs flying backwards and his body getting goosebumps. It really was winter. Which made his skin get cold in just few seconds.
Tom Kennedy
Took cigar to his mouth and took the entire air in his lungs. Smell of tobacco filled his mouth. Then after few seconds of holding, he breathed out. And the bubble or cloud of whiteness between sky and him appeared
Tom Kennedy

His personal assistant called and said in her robotic voice sir the police is on reception and asking for you.
Tom Kennedy
