Lisa slowly opened her eyes, everything hurts,why does her head hurt this much, she groaned without meaning to, stretching her hand she pressed a button by her bed and a maid ran in dressed in a short gown her hair neatly packed and held with a scrunchie she bowed her head,hands shaking in fear,she kept clasping and unclasping her palms.
"I feel drained and exhausted I can't put it in words"Lisa ran her hands over her hair feeling frustrated.
"Tell my mom,I need her now,and I need a doctor, I've got a lot of things I need to do ,how can I fall sick at this crucial time"she slowly crawled up.
"Please ma'am you need to rest,you are not allowed to go anywhere today"
Lisa paused as she looked at the maid her eyes scanning her like a disruption rather than a person.
"Who are you to tell me what to do,go get my mom here now"she snapped,the maid shivered.
"Ma'am your mom can't come here she's busy,can't you remember"
"Remember what"
Lisa felt dizzy as the memories came back,the party,the blood,so much blood,she screamed thrashing the nightstand.
"Tell me it's all a dream,a very bad dream,I didn't murder anyone, I wouldn't stoop that low"Lisa slowly buried her face in her laps.she saw all her years of hard work washing down the drain, she'll end in jail, Ethan would call off their engagement,her life was perfect why now.She heard the maid whimper from her side.
"Just shut up,who's supposed to be crying,you or me whose life has been ruined,just get out, get out"she screamed,the maid scampered away for safety,she fell backwards on the bed, everywhere was so silent she could hear her heartbeat.
That was when she heard it,her mom's voice.
"You can't send her to the malkovs"her mother was sobbing.
"And I can't send her to jail"it was her father's voice.
"They will break her,let's wait I Know she's innocent,Lisa will never stoop that low,our daughter is innocent"her mother sobbed harder.
"mom we just need to gather evidence to prove she was drugged"she heard her older brother's voice he's a criminal lawyer.
"Lucein how could you,so you believe your sister is a murderer"it was her mom's voice her voice was breaking.
"Mom all evidence points at her, coupled with the video she asked him if he had a death wish,in front of at least fifty people there's a video"lucein tried to explain.
"Don't,no Lucein,no don't do this to your sister"her mom was sobbing.
"Let's hand her to the police the malkovs are heartless"Lucein said sounding logical.
"No one is taking my daughter,I know she's innocent,I mean there's enough clues to prove she didn't do it"
her mother said fiercely.
Lisa walked out slowly barefooted,in just her pyjamas,she walked down the stairs ,that arched in s curve into the sitting room,she walked towards her mother sitting on a couch who seemed to have aged significantly in just a night,her mother pulled her into a hug as the women sobbed.
"Mother,....i...didn't... do it"she said sobbing.
"I believe you ,I Know you wouldn't do it"her mother said soothingly, rubbing soothing circles on her back.
She turned to her father
"father,lucein"
she called ,they were not looking at her.
"You know I wouldn't do it"her eyes looking at them wishing desperately they would believe her.
"Father lets call Ethan,I'm sure he can help us"she said firmly, holding onto the last thread of hope.
"Your fiance,has abandoned you"her father said coldly.
"He would never do that"she answered firmly.
"well,he did,they called off the engagement announced on air today"slowly she sat down and wept.
The door opened as two cops stepped in,Lisa shrunk back by instinct clinging to her mother.
"Miss Lisa Liam you are under arrest for the murder of Mr Damian Malcom,you have every right to keep quiet because whatever you say may be used against you in the court of law,you have the right to a lawyer,if you don't have one will be provided...."
The officer continued speaking as everything blurred,she turned to her brother as the handcufff clicked in place,the cold against her wrist felt so foreign.
"Lucein,you have the best law firm,don't let them take me,say something"she was screaming desperately now.
She watched her family members look helplessly as she was taken away.
"I'll bring you home just hold on"lucein said.
She was pushed into the waiting van as the van drove off.
Just then another police van drove in past the massive gates, two police officers walked out.
"What do you mean by you are the police"Mrs Liam asked her eyes wide in panic."the police already came and they took my daughter,tell them lucein,tell them babe"she said turning to her husband and son they also looked stunned.
"No,no,no"Lucein muttered as he rushed out,maybe if he drives fast enough maybe just maybe.
Mr Liam moved closer his height towering that of the officer.
"what do you mean you never sent anyone to take my daughter,and you are the police,what do you mean by that"the officer felt intimidated stepped back, removing his walkie talkie,he dashed out with his couleague.
Mrs Liam looked at her husband tears running down her eyes,"the malkovs,it's them,you have to go get her back,after all it was all your suggestion,who toss away their daughter because of a mistake"she said angrily, standing up she left her husband who left the house one destination in his mind.
The internet is exploding from the murder case to Lisa's disappearance,that could not be traced by anyone,every blogger had a thing or two to say.
most of them suspected the Malcolm's family but there was no direct evidence.some felt she's suffering for her sins,and harsh ways she's treated people in the past.who falls from grace this fast,where is she,is she alive,dead?
So many questions no answers,days turned to weeks,weeks to months months to years.
