“It’s okay”.
Johanna waved her daughter goodbye and reminded her to care for.
Just before she got into the car, Natalie turned towards his mother and said in a somber tone: “Mom, can you do me a favor?”
***
Just like that, Natalie returned to Brandon’s villa at Barns.
Since she now lived with him, he naturally spent more time at home.
Seldom I went to work on weekends and only I was staying with Natalie.
She couldn’t help but remember the time when they had just got married.
The only difference was that Brandon now seemed more introverted and reserved than it had been in the past.
Natalie studied the man sitting across from her in the balcony, reading.
He went into a trance, feeling like if she had been transported to two years ago.
Brandon never went back to Seacisco, not even to a quick visit.
Needless to say, Charis I was at the limit.
She hadn’t seen him in over one week.
I’ve always been close to Brandon until recently, so he could keep an eye on it Now that he was in the same city as Natalie, she was panicking fast.
The second weekend, Charis flew to Barnes under the guise of inspecting the progress of the ongoing project of your company.
Deliberately she brought some documents with her and took them to the Brandon’s villa.
He was visibly surprised when he opened the gate.
“What are you doing here?” Charis already had an answer prepared for this one.
same question.
She showed him the stack of papers.
“Lam here to bring you these files.
The we need for the meeting on Monday.
It is urgent, so you better take care of them immediate”.
“It’s okay” Brandon said nonchalantly.
while taking the folders from her.
“You may come back now.” Charis gave a small smile and asked: “Aren’t you going to invite me in?” her heart ached for his dismissive attitude, but he did his best for not showing it.
It wouldn’t be polite to turn her down at this point.
which Brandon sighed and said, “Come in, please.” Charis walked in without a second’s hesitation.
After After all, his real purpose for coming was to see how things were going between Brandon and Natalie.
As soon as he entered, he saw Natalie lying on the sofa in pajamas, chewing on an apple while I was watching television.
He looked again at the sound of the door and asked, “Do we have company? Are we expecting someone today? Natalie was on her way to Brandon, but his eyes fastened on Charis..
With A bright smile, Natalie inclined her head to a side and asked, “What brings you here, miss Turners? Don’t you take a break even the weekends?”.
“I came to transmit some documents to you.
important to Brandon” the other woman answered calmly.
“I thought it would be nice to make a visit while I was here.” “Oh.” Natalie raised her eyebrows and gave him another slight smile.
Then she went back to eating her apple and continued watching television.
I had no interest in talking to Charis more than necessary.
Brandon walked towards the stairs.
I went to his study to take over the job he just left on her lap.
He passed the sofa on his way and noticed Natalie He leaned closer and closer to the TV.
Hit gently a folder against your head.
“Don’t you get so close to the television.
you’re going to hurt them eyes.” Natalie rubbed the spot on the top of her head and looked at him. fixedly.
“Yes, yes, I know!” he grumbled.
It was an innocent and ordinary exchange, but Charis found it incredibly alarming.
“I know these two had gotten along so well in such a short time weather? Their relationship had been terrible a weather.
How did things change so fast? Although Brandon and Natalie were not as close and sweet as before, they still looked like a couple real now.
Charis knew she would be finished if I still couldn’t separate them.
Brandon was obviously in love with Natalie.
again.
If this continued, all efforts of Charis would be in vain.
She was lost..
After Brandon disappeared stairs upstairs, he muttered an excuse and fled the villa.
Charis was in a thunderous mood in her way back.
I couldn’t think of any another way to get Brandon away from Natalie.
Clearly inciting any form of discord between them was not a permanent solution.
As long as Natalie was alive, Charis would never have the opportunity to be with Brandon.
His only option now was to kill the woman..
Charis needed to get rid of Natalie once and for all. for all.
Charis gritted her teeth at the thought, her dilated nostrils.
I knew it was running out of time.
I needed to act while I still had the Brandon’s confidence.
Most areas became hot and dry in late fall, so it was pretty easy have natural fires here and there.
Charis was sitting in her car when several fire trucks passed by speed alongside your vehicle.
The driver informed him that there was a large forest park fire Charis’s eyes suddenly lit up as something clicked on their head.
He remembered the unexpected fire that had broke out when Brandon and Natalie were still alive at his apartment in Seacisco last year.
She wasn’t there at the time, but there was heard from the employees of the company that was a big incident.
“I heard on the news that the fire is still spreading rapidly”, said the driver, shaking his head in repentance.
“It is a fire of the most horrible kind, I say..
The that burns its victims until they leave them unrecognizable…
Wouldn’t that be the most ideal way to get rid of a body? charis stayed looking at the fire trucks disappeared in the distance, an idea was gestated slowly in the back of his mind.
It wasn’t that hard to carry out a fire intentionally.
Furthermore, this type of crime had an unbelievable success rate in destroying of entire towns, and the clues as to the cause of the fire were often buried in the ashes.
The key was to find a good opportunity to attack.
Halloween was just around the corner.
Barnes as a very open city that welcomed foreign students and workers from all over the world.
Although Halloween was not part of the tradition of the place, people still liked dress up and have fun.
The festive atmosphere was already taking over the streets when the partygoers came out of their houses with colorful and interesting outfits.
Natalie found the sight quite amusing, and was very lively all the way home.
although it did hot during the day, the nights were relatively cold.
For so many years, she had lived alone and had passed alone by the changes of seasons.
But the things had changed.
Now, I had Brandon waiting for her at home.
Pretty soon, he was there as soon as she walked in at the town.
