Chapter 742: control
Anna's Pov:
Mark: He never gets close to Rosie as his mother and never get close to Anna as his sister. Instead, he treated them as his enemies and tortured my sister in order to get revenge on Anna...
(Mark shouted at Lucas out of rage and he clearly says parents should take care of their children if the parents didn't take proper care then god only knows how they will turn to.)
Lucas: You are mistaken, sir...
John changed from the day he lost his mother and from that day I am trying to make him normal but he always tries to stay away from me whenever I stay close to him and whatever I say he just ignores it and after a few years he started to do the opposite things of what I say.
So gradually the distance between us started increasing due to his behaviour. Even I don't have much time to concentrate on him because I was busy in dealing with my business. But what shocked me more is he changed to psychopath once I got married. I didn't expect his cruel behaviour.
Mark: Cruel behaviour?
Lucas: Yes, I always try to convince him to treat Rosie as his mother but he never listens to me instead he started torturing Rosie by blackmailing her...
Tom: Blackmailing?
Lucas: Yes sir...
Mark: What kind of blackmail he do?
Lucas: He always says to Rosie that he will kill Anna and Alex if she didn't leave him. Rosie was scared whenever he threatened him.
She came to me and tell me everything about his blackmail and every time I try to convince him to not threaten Rosie and treat her as his mother or at least give respect to her as a woman but he did not listen to me instead after a few more days he again goes after Rosie and blackmails her. And the same thing was repeated...
(Did John really threaten my mom?
Did he really blackmail my mom by saying that he will kill me and Alex?
Maybe it's true...
Maybe that is one of the reasons my mom never let me to come home even on holidays too and she joins Alex in the nursery hostel and maintains every detail in secrecy. Even she did not let me know about Alex's whereabouts.
Maybe she is scared of John's blackmail.
What the hell...
Till now I thought my mom is having a happy life but not...
She didn't...
How can she stay happy when that psychopath is blackmailing her?
In between my thoughts I continued monitoring the interrogation.)
Mark: Tell me about the argument that happened between you and John on that day...
Lucas: The same thing happened on the same day, he threaten Rosie by saying he will kill Anna by that evening. Rosie was scared about his blackmail and tell to me everything. But this time I was so serious about it because I don't want this kind of situation again and again. At first, I tried to convince him but he did not listen to me and finally, it leads into a bigger argument between us.
Mark: Other than you and John did anyone see your argument or listen to your augment?
Lucas: Yes...
Tom: Who it is?
(Come on Anna...
Stay alert...
If he says my name then he will be caught red-handed again by saying a false statement to us because I didn't know anything about the argument on that day. So I am listening to him at most careful.)
Lucas: Rosie...
(I feel a bit relieved the moment I listened to my mom's name and believe that Lucas is saying the fact but at the same time I am scared of what might happen after that argument.)
Lucus: She listens to everything about our argument and is scared to face John on that day. So she went out of the home along with Anna for the entire day.
(Ahhhh...
So that stupid argument makes us to stay out of home and John take advantage of my friend...
Why?
Why does he want to blackmail my mom?
Why he didn't accept my mom as his mother?
Why does he want to take revenge on me?
Why did he do this to my friend?
Many questions filled my mind but I try to control my thoughts and concentrate on the interrogation.)
Mark: So what happened after the argument...
Lucus: After the argument with my son I stay quiet for a while and then I had my breakfast. After some time Ria visited our house for Anna. I informed her that Anna is not at home but she said she will wait for Anna. I said ok and called to my wife and inform her that Ria is waiting for Anna. Rosie said they will come soon to home.
I said the same thing to Ria and left the home and went to the nearest park to sit in peace for a few minutes.
After some time I feel a little bit relieved, so return back to home.
The moment I entered the house I find the house is messy and in the next second I heard the screaming of Ria in Anna's room. I immediately rushed into the room and find her nude body on the bed in a helpless condition. At first, I didn't understand what happened to her. I am so confused and scared to look at her. I looked around and I find no one in the room.
Meanwhile, She is requesting me to help her. I take a towel from the nearby hanger and went near to her to help her. But I lost control of myself...
