A Slave To My Vengeful Lover-Chapter 569 - Sarcastic Answer...
Mark's POV:
I guess it is John because he is the only person left in this family photo...
I got angry when I realise it is John...
I can understand Alex don't know anything about the criminal acts done by his father and brother, that's the reason he is still including them in his family photo. But they don't deserve in his family sketch if Alex knows about their reality he will definitely hate them...
Alex: How's it, Mark?
(My thoughts are distracted with Alex question I nodded my head as ok and pulled him close to me and made him sit on my thighs.)
Mark: So do you like your brother?
Alex: No...
Mark: Why?
Alex: Because he always pinches me and makes me cry...
Mark: Then why are you drawing your brother in your family sketch?
Alex: He is not my brother...
Mark: Then?
Alex: He is my brother in law...
Mark: What?
(By finishing his words he started chuckling and I started smiling while looking at my face in his sketch and I feel relieved that he did not include John and feel so happy because Alex accepted me into his family But when I looked at him he is still busy in sketching something and I observed it in detail I understand he is drawing someone who stands behind him and both of her hands are on Alex's shoulder...
Mark: who is she?
Alex: She is Mona...
(He said with his happy face and continued drawing Mona at his back out of his love towards her and yes Mona is a good gardian to Alex and she is taking care of him like her mother.)
"Where am I?"
Alex and I looked at the owner of the voice and it's Tom. I observed that he is asking Alex with a serious note.,
Tom: Tell me where am I, Alex?
Alex: You are not there...
(Alex said seriously while drawing the Sketch and he is least bothered about Tom's reaction. Tom immediately sit beside me and started tickling Alex and pulled him into his lap...)
Alex: Mona sis...
Come and save me...
(He is shouting for Mona's help and in a few seconds Mona came to us with an angry face and immediately started beating Tom with her tiny hands and take Alex from Tom. Alex hugged Mona and looked at Tom with his showoff look and Tom is looking at him with his dagger eyes. I can feel Tom's feelings. Tom is getting jealous when Alex is moving close to Mona...
I smile by looking at them...
Mona: Stop it, Tom, why are you always tease him and make him cry?
Tom: What?
I make him cry?
Mona: Then what?
You never let him play peacefully...
Tom: Shhhh...
See Mark...
Is their any mistake I did?
Look at her, how she is shouting at me instead of kissing me...
Mona: Shhh Tom...
What are you talking about before the kids?
Tom: Do you think he is still a kid?
He knows everything...
Mona: Ahhhhhh...
It's a waste to argue with you...
(Mona went into the kitchen and bought some food for Alex and helping him to have the food while Alex is still drawing his sketch...)
Mona: What are you drawing, Alex?
Alex: It's you and me Mona sis...
Mona: Awwwww...
So cute...
(She said and kissed him on his cheek and I can sense Tom's fury is increasing more when Mona is pampering Alex.)
Tom: Ask him where am I in the picture he is drawing...
(He said furiously and Mona looked at him with her widened eyes as a hint to control his rage.)
Alex: He is not there...
(Before Mona asked him he answered to Tom's question.)
Tom: See how sarcatically he is answering...
Mona: He doesn't even known what sarcastic mean and you are judging him that he is answering sarcastically...
(Tom stayed quite and Mona turned to Alex and asked about it.)
Mona: Why Alex, Why don't you draw Tom's picture in your sketch?
(Mona asked him by pampering him and he looked at Mona with his pretty puppy face.)
Alex: There is no place to draw Tom...
(I immediately laughed for his answer and even Mona laughed for his answer but Tom is still looking at Alex with his dagger eyes.)
Mona: Tom you are in my heart so Alex no needs to draw you separately...
(and by listening to my friends flirting skills, Tom flattened and we all play with Alex for some more time and Alex finally went into sleep in Mona's cuddle.)
Tom: How is Anna?
Mona: She is fine, she needs some rest and by tomorrow she will be OK...
(By finishing her words Mona looked at with a serious note and I understand Mona looked at the wounds caused to Anna because of me. Even I feel so sorry for what I have done to my girl.)
Mona: So, how is Lucus?
Tom: Evil people don't die that easily...
Mark: So he is safe...
(Tom nodded his head as yes and I feel a little relieved because I can't show my face to Anna if something bad happened to him. Even though he proved guilty in Ria's case it is difficult for me to prove to Anna about her father's reality.)
Mona: So, tell me, Tom, what happened to you..?
Why did you keep Anna's life at risk?
Tom: Even I didn't expect that he will try to attack Anna, I thought the feelings he showed on Anna is true and genuine but today's incident proved wrong.
Mark: Do you really think he showed true and genuine feelings for Anna?
Tom: Well I don't feel, Mark, but when I look at him from Anna's perspective, Anna won't get that emotionaI genuine father feel love on him just because he is a stepfather to Anna but unless he showed true and genuine feeling to Anna, if he didn't showed his love at Anna then she won't gain trust on Lucas and you all know how Anna treated her father.
Mark: Tom, the point here is we are least bothered if his love towards Anna is genuine or not because even his love towards Anna is genuine he should get punishment for the acts he done to my sister irrespective of his love towards Anna
He did a crime by attacking my sister, Tom, No love and affection will work in this case...
Tom: Yes, Mark. I agree with you, he should get punishment for the acts he has done to Ria but there is a point behind this reasoning that I would like both of you to know about it...
(Mona and I got alerted to listen to Tom.)
Tom: The main evidence to arrest John and his friends is Ria's last note, so if the fingerprint of John and his friends got tallied with Ria's postmortem reports then with the evidence of Ria's last letter we can easily follow further legal proceedings and they can't escape from the death sentence from the court as a punishment. 𝘧𝘳𝑒ℯ𝔀𝘦𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝗹. co𝐦
Mark: Okay, but why don't you include Lucus name in the above list you mentioned...
Mona: Yes Tom I got the same doubt you mention John and his friends what about Lucus..?
Tom: Yes I am coming to the point ,the main issue with Lucas is, his name is no where mentioned in Ria's note, so it's tough for us to prove that Lucas is also one of the culprits in Ria's case...
Mark: but his fingerprint got tallied with Ria's postmortem report, so how can he escape?
Tom: Yes Mark it is tallied but did you remember one thing?
When I am taking my interrogation with Lucas, I asked him about the fingerprints on Ria's body and he undoubtedly said that he helped Ria from that incident, so he can claim that his fingerprints are accidentally got noted on her body...
On this outline, there may be a chance that he escape from this case...
Mona: No...
No...
I don't let it happen, Tom...
If he is really the culprit in Ria's case then he should get punishment and I don't allow him to escape from this city before he get proper punishment...
Mark: Even I don't allow him...
But tell me one thing Tom who will support him to get out of this case?
There is no one left in his family to support him. John is scared to reveal himself to us so how can we expect that he will support his father?
And his wife is in a coma and I am sure he will be dead by the time she wakes up from coma...
So whom do you think that he will get support to escape from this case...
Tom: Anna...
"What..???"
Both Mona and I shouted in shock at a time and my mind is blank the moment I heard Anna's name because I know Tom's guess never fail and without a reason he don't say Anna's name.
Mona: No Tom, we know about Anna, she will always stand against to the culprints in Ria's case and she doesn't care even though it is Lucas, She stand to get justice to Ria and that's it. So don't keep false hope on Anna, She is just loving her dad that's it....
