Reporter Eddy is hurt
SOPHIE’S POV
” I have to deal with this.” I mumbled as I rushed out of the house, my heart pounded with anxiety. I didn’t want anyone see me leave the house, so I called the Security around to help me check something at the backyard. As he went off to check it, I raced out of the house and hurried to meet Eddy.
The ride I booked arrived and I got in hurrily trying to avoid anyone seeing me leave the house. I wanted to return back, just before anyone noticed my absence and before Karl returned.
My mind buzzed wondering what to do about Eddy. His plan to reveal everything was going to annul the contract and I couldn’t have that. At least not yet. I needed money for my daughter’s future and Eddy was not going to ruin my plans.
I had a perfect plan, hoping nothing goes wrong and that Eddy had not done anything stupid yet, I hurried the driver to take me to his address to meet him. I hoped that for both our sakes he had not gone off to Karl or was he already there like his message said?” I wondered, as we drove down to his house. My heart was pounding so fiercely that it seemed like it was going to fall out of my chest. I was not sure how to modify Eddy’s choice, but I knew I had to do it or everything would be ruined.
I knew Eddy many years ago when I worked with his company as a secretary before my job at the mall. We became close and at one time became emotionally attached to me and requested for a relationship which I turned down because I wasnt ready for a relationship.
When I first messaged him about Karl divorce, he was reluctant to publish the story but I had assured him of it authencity and he agreed to do it not knowing I had a plan to use it to my advantage at the end. Eddy had paid a good sum of money for the story, little did he know he was a piece of my big plan.
” What was I going to say to him?” I muttered questioning myself about how I intended to change Eddy’s mind. I decided it was best to call him first to be sure if he was home.
I dialled his number and the phone rang with no response, Sweat trickled down my forehead as I dialed his number over and over again, but each call went unanswered. Panic started to creep in, and a sinking feeling settled in my gut. Something was definitely wrong. I knew there was trouble when he didn’t pick despite my calls.
Without wasting another second, I sprinted down as soon as the car came to a halt at Eddy’s house. The wind rushed past my face, matching the frantic beating of my heart. Fear and worry mingled in my thoughts as I replayed the unanswered calls in my mind. ” What if he had told Karl everything like he said he would?” I asked myself and quickly dismissed the response as I didn’t want to think about what the outcome would be.
As I got to his house, I knocked repeatedly with no one answering the door. I approached the window to see whether anyone was inside, but there appeared to be no one. When I twisted the doorknob to check the door, I noticed that it was open.

” What do I do now? I questioned myself unsure of what to do. As I stood wondering what to do about what had happened I noticed an ambulance drive up to Eddy’s apartment.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
A sense of dread washed over me when I saw an ambulance drive towards Eddy’s house. My pace quickened, adrenaline coursing through my veins.
” How could they come so quickly? Who informed them?” I asked as I walked to the corner of the house. Not wanting to be a part of any issues and raising suspicions, I hide myself and watch all that was happening from the corner.
Just then the paramedics rushed into Eddy flat and wheeled him out on a stretcher. Panic gripped my chest, and I desperately muttered his name.” Eddy” My heart shattered at the sight of him, but I knew I had to stay strong and hide myself so no one saw me.
” I hope he isn’t hurt?” I mumbled again as I watched the paramedics hurriedly loaded him into the ambulance and rushed him to the hospital.
I wasn’t sure about his health but I hope he was fine. As the sirens blared and the ambulance raced through the city streets, I came out of my hiding place and rushed to get a cab and head home.” I really hope he gets better.” I mumbled as I worried about Eddy health.
Just as I was ready to leave the premises to board the cab that had arrived to pick me up, I spotted the officers approaching, and my heart skipped a beat, so I rushed into the cab and told the driver kor to drive till they had inside Eddy’s house.
” I hope they didn’t see me?” I muttered as I hurried to enter the taxi, I worried if they saw me leave Eddy’s house and as soon as they were in, I asked the driver to zoom off.
“Oh gosh. What am I supposed to do now?” I hope Karl isn’t home yet. I grumbled as I got into the cab, my mind flashed back to the events of moment ago. I wished I didn’t go to Eddy house as my heart filled with worry and desperation. My thoughts soon drifted to Karl, I had lied about a robbery and wasn’t even home. ” How was I supposed to explain all of this?” I grumbled as we headed back home. I need a perfect excuse for not being at the house after I claimed there was a robbery.
” What was I supposed to do now?” I pondered in my thoughts as we drove home. ” I have to come up with a plan and fast too.”
