IT IS ONLY COMPLICATED IF YOU MAKE IT SEEM SO~ Khloe Diamond

KHLOE DIAMOND
Who knew these cops were hellbent on arresting me? I was more surprised when Chris got locked up in the cell next to me. Like, why would they think Chris would murder his own best friend and fiancée? It was insane.

I bet this was what the murderer wanted and whoever it was, was actually getting their desired results.

Apparently, a recording of Chris and Annie having an argument over their engagement was sent to the cops. In the argument, Annie swore to never break off the engagement. Therefore, Chris's motive for killing her was because she wouldn't break off the engagement.

How stupid!

For me, I must have killed her because she was engaged to Chris and I wanted Chris for myself. Her body was discovered in front of my house, and our CCTV got spoilt days back. They assumed I destroyed it to cover up my crimes.

Someone reportedly saw us having a fight in front of my house and also reported that I once mentioned that I would strangle her if I had the chance.

That someone I could guess, it was either Fiona or Hilda because I only made that statement to them. If I think about it well though, Fiona had been away for a while, so only Hilda could have seen Annie and I argue in front of my house.

I wonder why Hilda would do something of such to me though.

"Just a minute please". I heard Will argue with the cops.

He had been really doing a lot to make sure I don't sleep in here. Even though they could not hold me in here for long without solid proof, I could still sleep here tonight.

I bet he was able to win against the cops as I saw him head towards me. For some reason, I felt reassured by his presence, maybe because I knew he was such a determined and powerful person.

"Will" I cried out.

"It's okay love, your lawyer is speaking with them and you do have a strong alibi. You were with me all through the better part of the day". He assured me.

I nodded agreeing with him. I do have a strong alibi.

"I don't think we should let them know about the text though, Chris and I would see to that". I told him.

His countenance changed at the mention of Chris and I and I could hear Chris laugh from his side of the cell. I bet he was listening in on our conversation.

"What text is that though?" Chris asked.

I nodded at Will to tell him about it, although he seemed reluctant but he did.

"She told Khloe to find out about a certain Joy Halmen and her connection with Annie and your mother. She found out Joy Halmen was possibly her real mother and your mother knew her". He told him as low as possible, we didn't want others hearing about it.

"I never knew she wanted to find her real parents". Chris said regretfully but that was past now.

She left us a very important puzzle to solve right before her death but here we were behind bars not able to do anything.

"By the way, you were out of work earlier that day, where did you go?" Will asked me.

The cops must have interrogated Pat. Bloody idiots.

"I went to see a doctor at Hillary Hospital". I told him.

He instantly looked so worried.

"Did you fall sick?" I heard Chris ask with worry laced in his voice and my heart thumping like a fool.

Will shot him a death glare for speaking ahead of him I guess.

"Were you sick? Are you still sick?" Will also asked, worried.

"No, I went because of Chris's memory issues. The doctor gave me a possible explanation just in case it wasn't amnesia". I explained.

Once again Will wasn't exactly happy with my response. Jealousy, I must say.

"What did he say?" Chris asked curiously.

"Let's get out of here first". I promised.

Ignoring our little conversation that annoyed him, he proceeded to his next question. For some reasons, he was doing the job of my lawyer.

"Where was Annie the day she died?" He asked.

"She went home, she wanted to go see my mom and her parents. The day she died was the day she was supposed to return. You can't exactly say that she was all the way brought back here after killing her or if she was murdered on the way". Chris explained.

"One thing I know for sure is that the murderer is someone who knows each one of us well". Chris added.

I nodded at Will agreeing with Chris's last statement. Will just nodded taking ever details in.

"Who do you suspect......" He was cut off by a cop who came to tell him he had overused the agreed time.

"Just one more thing please" he pleaded with the cop but he was denied.

"You have to leave now". The cop told him.

With one last assuring look towards me, he walked away. His trust in me was amazing, even though he had not known me for long, he trusted me. Or maybe he was doing all these just to trust me.

"You know I would have done the same for you if I wasn't in here". I heard Chris say from his holding cell.

I almost burst out with laughter at the rate of jealousy these men both had.

"I can't be sure! The Chris I know could abandon me for weeks". I replied him

"Khloe, it's so complicated". He replied.

"Only because you don't want to explain things" I told him. "I need time to think please, just leave me be". I added.

After total silence from Chris for what seemed like hours, a cop came to my holding cell to bring me out. I followed behind him, not after looking back at Chris who looked devastated. After smiling at him, I turned back and continued following the cop.

Seated was my lawyer, Will and one other man. The cops nodded to something they had said and I could see smiles on all of their face.

"You are being released Khloe" Will told me and the cops nodded in agreement.

"How about Chris?" I asked them.

"His lawyer is speaking with a detective, he seem to have been seen at your workplace earlier that day by your secretary and your brother. He also spent most of his time waiting in front of your house until 11pm". One of the cops explained.

"Wasn't it raining then?" I asked, worried about him. There was no way he waited in the rain.

"He waited in his car for you". The cop explained. He couldn't have had enough time to attack Annie.

I only nodded and left with Will and my lawyer.

-*-
I wanted to find out the backstabbed among my friends so I confronted Hilda immediately and she swore it wasn't her. She had no reason to do that to me and it was true.

The only option was Fiona and we didn't know her whereabouts. Will promised to track her phone down if she ever made a call and good for us, she did.

It was easy finding her location just the next day and it was the most unexpected place. Tommy's house!

Author's note
Only four questions;
1. Who is Joy Halmen?
2. Who killed Annie?
3. What is Fiona up to?
4. Why did you not comment and vote?

I hope you enjoyed the chapter even though it was filled with conversations mainly.
