Chapter 5 - Scumbag
The next morning, I woke up next to the man that had made lxve to me all night.
I barely had the strength to stand... what time was it?
I reached out towards the nightstand, where my phone was switched off.
Switching it on, I was shocked to see a bunch of missed calls and text messages.
They were all from my family's housekeeper, Mrs Burrows.
Mrs Burrows
"My Lady, please call me."
Mrs Burrows
"It's urgent."
Mrs Burrows
"Are you alright?"
I want to call her, but her voice is loud.
I'll get dressed and take the phone call outside.
Without waking up Alex, I slipped my dress back on and my underwear until I was fully dressed.
I took the opportunity to give Alex a small kiss on the cheek as I walked out of the room and phoned Mrs Burrows.
She picked up almost immediately.
Lydia Kingsley
What's wrong? What seems to be so urgent?
Lydia Kingsley
Is it my mother?
Mrs Burrows
It's your stepfather and your mother, Miss!
Mrs Burrows
Your stepfather murdered the Madam in her sleep last night!
At that moment, my whole world collapsed.
I dropped my phone and I could hear Mrs Burrows's voice through it.
I grabbed it and rushed towards the nearest taxi, telling him to drive me home.
Upon arriving there, my eyes went blank.
Police were everywhere and a bodybag was being carried out of the house.
Mrs Burrows
I'm so glad that you're alright!
That son of a bxtch took everything from my mother!
Her happiness and now her life!
Detective Wilde
Are you the deceased's daughter?
Deceased... she truly is dead.
My mother, who never had a bad word against me, is dead...
Murdered by that son of a bxtch, baxtard of a stepfather.
I took out a notebook from my bag and immediately started to scribble five addresses on it.
I then handed it to the detective.
Lydia Kingsley
He'll be hiding at one of these addresses.
Lydia Kingsley
These are residences that he bought in secret under false names.
Detective Wilde
T-That doesn't answer-
Lydia Kingsley
Mrs Burrows?
Mrs Burrows
Y-Yes, My Lady?
Lydia Kingsley
Contact the company lawyer. Tell him to draft up my mother's will.
Mrs Burrows
You can't mean-
Lydia Kingsley
The company is under her name. I know for a fact that she left the company to me in her will.
Lydia Kingsley
So, I'm going to sell it.
Lydia Kingsley
I'm selling everything, even this stupid manor that is useless.
Lydia Kingsley
I'm not leaving him one thing to come back to.
My mother might be dead... but the last thing she said to me was keep my head up high.
I won't let him find weakness in me. Because I am Lydia Kingsley... and I don't lose to losers.

I don't understand the people who kill others
how does it help you? Can't you just let that innocent soul live? One can solve problems without killing
