Get Me Married

Chapter 37: Food poisoning

The inspector still had nothing and the guys that they let free on bail were no where to be found. It was like the case was going nowhere in the least and everything wasn’t going the way I wanted. Samantha was still in my house when she was supposed to be in jail. I didn’t want to live in the same house with her because I didn’t know what it was she would be planning next. And the kidnapper I had shot was still no where to be found.

Exhausted and hungry, I decided to go back home. I came across the side restaurant where I always hung out with T_squad. It wasn’t the usual five star hotel that I was now used to but it was the only place I knew then in college. And I decided to drop by and have my lunch there.

All eyes turned to me when I went into the restaurant. Most people in there were the familiar faces of people I knew before, usual customers. I smiled and waved at them before the waitress came over to where I sat.

“Look at you girl, you hit a jackpot” Lucia said. She was the daughter of the man who owned the place and we attended thesame college till she dropped out or something. She helps her father in the restaurant when there was need to.

“I was just lucky” I said faking a smile. It was of course what I was meant to do. Feign happiness when infact I was sad.

“I do hope your luck should rub off on me” she said and I looked away. Knowing that my luck was shitty and there was never true happiness in the life I was leaving. It would better if it never rubbed off on anyone.

“Well, should I get you the usual?” She asked and I simply gave her a nod. The usual was always meat, pork chops, chicken or turkey laps. It was like eating big with a little amount of money. She came with the food and I ate like I always did while ignoring the folks that stared at me.

The guards made lots of people uncomfortable in there and they were always staring at me. But I ignored them all and went ahead to eat the junk food I was rather used to eating.

When I was done, I left the restaurant after giving Lucia a heavy tip and went back home.

During our drive, my mind travelled to how those criminals changed their words and I had lost the recording that would have proved Samantha to be the master mind behind my kidnap. I was so sure it was on my phone because I had listened to it and left it in my car when I went to see Tiffany and Tiana. No one else was close to my phone during those period except my driver and……

I paused at that thought and stared at the man who I had known as my personal driver of all the guards I had. He was the only one who was close to my phone because I had left it in the car, but that didn’t mean he had access to it. It was on lock and he couldn’t have known the password to unlock it. But what if he did?

I became suspicious immediately, while beating myself for not thinking about it sooner. I cleared my throat and turned to him to ask him a question and see his reaction when a sharp pain hit my
