Chapter 264 - Mias Diary (2/2)

Michelle slumped back on the chair and placed her head on the table. Even though she was eager to know who killed her sister, part of her was glad that she did not find anything. Heaving a sigh of relief she stood up arranged everything back to how it was and walked out of the study, she had just taken a few steps when her phone vibrated in her trouser pocket.

Her brows creased when she saw it was her mom and she picked the call, placing it on her ear;

''Michelle… '' Her mom's voice sounded with fright over the phone,

''Mom, what's wrong? ''

''Michelle, come over to the house now, we found Mia's diary…''

Michelle dazed out for a few seconds before she replied slowly; ''Okay; ''

She blinked as she placed her phone in her pocket and turned to the front door. Her heart pounded as she drove out of the house. In a few minutes she might find out who killed her sister, she had been waiting for this moment for a very long time, but at that moment, she was scared, so much that sweat dripped from her forehead.

It should be anybody, but not Douglas. Michelle prayed silently.

She didn't love him, but she didn't want to believe that the man she had lived with for so many years and even had a child with, could kill her sister. She wanted to believe that there was a little humanity left in him. Her hands gripped the steering tightly as she drove speedily to her family home.

She didn't even switch off her engine as she hurriedly ran into the house, her heart almost jumping out of her ribs.

Her steps came to a halt when she stepped into the living room and saw her parents sitting down, looking aghast.

Michelle's eyes stared at her parents and then it turned to the book lying on the table and without a word, she walked to it and picked it up'

Her eyes fell on the words written in cursive;

''Mia's Diary ''

One glance at the letters and she recognized it as her sister's handwriting.'

''where did you find it? '' Michelle didn't realize how dry her throat was until she tried to speak; her mom looked up at her, her eyes were still red, it looked like she had cried a lot.

''It was hidden in the bas.e.m.e.nt; we found it when we were packing out some old stuff. '' Her mom's voice quaked as she spoke, tears gathered her eyes and she looked away from Michelle.

Michelle pulled her eyes back to the book, from her parent's expression, she knew they already knew what was inside the book, but she didn't want to ask them, no, she wasn't prepared to know the killer just yet.
