My Innocent Girl novel Chapter 50

"Hm... so let's see what happens now"

The doorbell rang and we went to open the door. The Police came in and took him to the hospital while they took the gun too. 

They took us also as the witness. I told them that Ashley wasn't in the same room and I made up a story and told them.

We came back home and she sighed. "This is all too much. Why did he even come here?"

"Why are you so worried for him? You should be happy that I didn't get shot! he came to shoot me!"

She looked a little scared as I raised my voice. Yeah, maybe it was jealousy but I had a point.

She took my hand. "Of course I am glad"

I sighed. "Hm"

I received a call and picked it up, it was from the police.

"Yes?"

"You are under investigation in the case of the shooting of Mr. Chris Brown"

Ashley

"What?"  I heard Vincent on the phone. 

I went towards him. "Oh... okay. I will be there soon"

The call ended and she sighed.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

"Nothing..."

"Tell me"

"Uh, they are calling me for investigation"

"What? Why?"

"Well... I was the only person in the room, so I already thought about how they let me go so easily anyway"

"But Vincent, I am scared for you!"

"It is okay"

"Uh... be careful"

"Yeah. Don't worry, you know me. I have dodged suspicions thousand times"

"Yeah..." I smiled. "Good luck"

He nodded and then went out.

Vincent

I went out and to the Police station. To be honest, I was a little worried. I knew this time, it was like... every time, I didn't fear the Police. Because I knew that even if I get caught, I will be out and live my life again. But now? I know that if I get caught, my wife would be so sad. I have to do this now, for her. I have to be well.

I went inside.

"Vincent Smith?"

"yes"

"Please come inside the investigation room" I nodded and went inside. I know that this is just a small-scale investigation and it is gonna be a big one soon. Maybe the state level will reach a national level because it was the shooting of the CEO of one of the most profound businesses. 

I saw Heather there. She was crying badly and looking at me with an angry expression. Oh, she is such a fake. She doesn't even love him!

"I was getting bored so arranged the things in a better way"

"Oh that is sweet, my Ashy"

She blushed a little and smiled. "Ah-h thanks"

"No thanks to your husband" I went close to her and she looked into my eyes. I went closer and kept my hand on her neck and she kept her hand on my shoulder.

"My wife" I looked into her eyes. "I wanna confess something"

"Y-yes-"

"Don't stutter, you can speak freely near me"

She nodded. She took a deep breath. "Yeah?"

"I am lucky to have you, Ashy. Thanks for being in my life"

She smiled. "Oh well, I didn't have a choice but-"

"What do you mean?" I went away from her.

"Oh, I don't mean--"

"I didn't force you to care about me! I didn't force you to 'love' me!" I yelled and she flinched.

"Y-you have got it all wrong, I don't mean--"

"I know what you fucking mean, Ashley!"

"Please calm down Vincent--"

"No! I will not calm down! So if it was all forced, then why the hell were you acting as if everything was completely normal and fine--"
