Her First but not the Last Murder
‘Excuse me, Miss. Who are you and how may I be of help to you?’, Pamela asked pretending to be unaware of Sophia’s identity.
‘I do not think there is the need for me to introduce myself again since you are fully aware of who I am’, Sophia responded, smiling.
‘I do not know who you are and I do not have the whole time of the world chatting with a stranger. So, if you will not introduce yourself and tell me why you are here, you can kindly get lost.
‘My bad for not introducing myself. Since you claim you do not know me which I believe you do, I will like to introduce myself. My name is Sophia Porous, the only child of the owners of Bloom Electronics. It’s nice meeting you’, Sophia said, stretching her hand forth to shake Pamela.
‘So, what business do we have together?’, Pamela asked, ignoring Sophia’s extended hand.
‘Well, I believe you know why I am here. Don’t you? Anyways, congratulations on your pregnancy’, Sophia said, looking at Pamela’s belly. Hearing this statement, Pamela was becoming scared as she had idea as to how Sophia got to know about her pregnancy.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
‘Did Richard inform her?’, she had thought. She tried composing herself so Sophia wouldn’t see through her fears.
‘What the hell are you talking about? Get the hell out of here before I call the police’, Pamela said, trying to close the door but Sophia who was already aggravated, kicked the door with her leg making Pamela fall to the ground.
‘You have a nice apartment, I must say’, Sophia said, walking into the house, ignoring Pamela who was groaning in pain. When Pamela fell, she had hit her tummy on the ground which caused her to feel a sharp pain in her tummy. The room felt tensed.
‘What do you want?’, Pamela who was on the ground, holding her tummy asked.
‘But babe, when are you breaking up with her?
You mean Sophia?’
It’s just a matter of time. You know she is a necessary tool in us achieving our goals. I just need her to get what we need from Edward. After that, we will get rid of her.
But it’s taking too long. You have been with her for the past two years which to me is getting longer. And now that she is pregnant for you, what are you going to do? Will you allow her birth the child?
I tried talking her into getting an abortion but she wouldn’t yield. You do not have to worry, I will find a way of getting rid of the baby.
Are you sure?
Pamela, you know you are the only one I love, right? I am only with her because she is useful to me. Once she has successfully executed our plans and I am able to give you and our baby the best life ever, I am going to get rid of her. I promise to love you and our child always. I love you, baby.
I love you too’, Do you remember these statements?’, Sophia asked, admiring in paintings on the wall.
‘Wait, you were actually there that night?’, Pamela who was groaning in pain asked Sophia when she remembered that was the conversation, she and Richard had that night.
‘Yes, I was darling. I heard every of your discussion. The fact that you both are using me as a bait to achieve your dreams. You know what got to me the most? It was not the fact that I caught the man I love having an affair with another woman who is carrying his child but the fact that this man is willing to kill his child growing up in my belly just to satisfy and please his lover. That’s another level of betray and hurt, don’t you think so?’, Sophia asked with hurt in her eyes and not expecting to get an answer from Pamela.
‘After I found out about your existence, I ran a check on you and I discovered both you and Richard had come a long way. But why didn’t I notice any of these? I had asked myself so many times and few minutes ago before I walked in here, I found out I was actually oblivious to the lies around me because I was so much in love with Richard. But it’s sad to actually find out he was never in love with me’, Sophia said.
‘I am sorry. I am deeply sorry. I know we both have hurt you a lot but can you please save my child?’, Pamela who was already bleeding said, bringing Sophia attention to that.
‘Save your child? Do you know what I had in mind before coming here? Richard actually belongs to me and while coming here, I made a promise to myself to take care of any obstacle that will prevent me from being with Richard’, Sophia said with her face turning dark and with a devilish smile on her face. She put her hand in the pocket of the jacket she was putting on and brought out her gloves.
‘Do you know what one does to unwanted weeds? We get rid of them by uprooting them. You and your baby are unwanted weeds that need to be uprooted’, Sophia said, putting on her gloves and moving in the direction of Pamela. Pamela, having understood what was going on, managed to get up with the little strength left with her, aiming for her phone to call for help but she wasn’t fast enough as Sophia dragged her, making the phone slipped off her hand. What Sophia didn’t know was that, Pamela had placed her phone on recording making all their conversations being recorded.
‘Are you trying to be smart, darling? You do not have to worry dear. I will make it very fast and painless. You do not have to fight back’, Sophia said, bending beside Pamela who was lying weakly on the floor. As Sophia was about aiming for Pamela’s neck to strangle her to death, Pamela fought back with the little strength left in her. She kicked Sophia in the stomach, causing her pain and while Sophia was busy groaning in pain, Pamela managed to make her way to the stairways. Halfway up the staircase, Sophia caught up with her.
The two engaged in a fight and in the process of the fight, Pamela lost her footing and she began to tumble uncontrollably, her body flipping and rolling with the force of gravity making her hit her head on the tiles. Finally, with a thud, she landed at the bottom of the stairs, her body coming to a sudden jarring stop. She was lying motionless on the floor and blood was gushing out from her head. On seeing this, Sophia smiled.
Walking majestically to where Pamela was lying lifeless, Sophia lowered her body towards her as she noticed Pamela was murmuring something.
‘Please, save my child’, Pamela murmured softly with pain in her eyes.
‘You brought this upon yourself. I wanted to make it a painless one for you but you made it turn out this way. But since you have begged me to save your child, I will do just that by making the pain end quickly’, Sophia said and in no time, her hands were on Pamela’s neck, strangling her to death.
After Pamela had finally given up a ghost, Sophia looked at her lifeless body with a satisfying look on her face.
‘I cannot wait to see her too in this same position’, Sophia said laughing hysterically.
Who do you think Sophia’s next target is?
