Mummy I got you a new husband

SOPHIE’S POV….

“Cameras!!!” I pondered in my mind as I heard Karl said to the officers as he walked back downstairs.” why didn’t I think of that, Karl was definitely going to have such things at the house.” You must be idiot for not thinking of this.” I cursed at myself for not thinking of it sooner and now it seemed like it was already too late.

For a man his status why did I not think of the possiblity he had other measures of knowing this things. I let out a deep sigh as I was annoyed by the situation, and everyone turned to looked at me wondering if I was ok.

” Is something wrong?” Karl enquired as he turned to look at me. I knew I had to say something to mask my dissatisfaction about the cameras or my plan would be discovered. “Emmh, it is nothing serious; it is only that I feel like my head hurts and it is a bit uncomfortable, perhaps it was caused by the hit. I would be fine, I guess.” After I answered, Karl came over to look at my head, giving me a scowl that suggested he was uncomfortable with the pain, I was experiencing.

“Ouch,” I muttered, pretending to scowl as he caressed the back of my head. “It hurts,” I said, acting as though i felt pain when he touched me. I took a glimpse at him and saw how sorry he was for me. “Karl was an idiot” I murmured, groaning.

” You should see a doctor, this could be serious.” He remarked, taking a closer look at my head. Going to the doctor would entail me been ratted out and all my pretence discovered. I needed to reassure Karl I would be fine so there would be no doctors.

“It is emmh… not that serious, I would take some aspirin instead, and I suppose it would be alright.” I said with a phoney smile to reassure him that I was OK. Still pondering over the presence of cameras in Karl’s house, panic surged through my veins. ” How could I have overlooked such an obvious possibility? Did it see everything I did?” I questioned myself, the thought that the truth about the robbery might have been recorded sent shivers down my spine.

I trembled at the thought of everyone finding out the truth. It was clear that these cameras posed a serious threat to my plans and efforts. Frustration welled up inside me as I desperately tried to come up with a solution.

Seeing my smile, he turned to head back upstairs to get the drive, the officers still in the room were waiting for him to get the drive so they could keep the video as evidence. I knew just then I had to do something, else everything would have been in vain.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I quickly brainstormed ideas, trying to think of a way to handle the situation. ” How do I disabled the cameras without anyone knowing.” I was sure i did not know much about tech. “What do I really do?”I thought as I watched Karl head upstairs. He seemed he wanted to bring the drive so everyone should see who the Intruders were. The officers who were at the house were anxiously waiting for the drive.

” You need to act fast Sophie.” I thought to myself as my mind buzzed with ideas. “Perhaps there was a blind area in the house that the cameras could not see? Or maybe I could get into the camera system and remove all recordings? Though time was running out, the options were limitless, but how could I do all of this in a short amount of time?” I thought to myself unsure about what to do.

“How was I supposed to stop this!!” I wondered again as I thought about how the event of knowing that the cameras must have seen everything.

My heart skipped as I thought of what would happen if everyone found out. ” No that would mean I and Selene losing on everything again.” I muttered as I paced back and front. The officers noticed my actions and asked if I was fine.

” Are you okay?” One of the cops enquired, and Karl turned to look at me for a second. I nodded in affirmation. ” I am fine, it’s just my head hurts.” I responded and he turned to walk down to the room. I knew this was going to ruin my plans and all my efforts. I sighed wondering what to do about it. ” I need a diversion” I mumbled as I thought about what to do. Suddenly an idea bumped in my mind.

” Karl” I called out for him, ” We should get some coffee to ease the tension first, Dnt you think?” I said to him and he responded in affirmation. “I guess so, but we should check the cameras too right.” He responded showing his hesitation as he opted to get the drive while I got coffee for everyone.

” Shit!!! That didn’t work. I need another idea. If they watched it would find out I had got out and that there was no robbery. I knew this was an issues for me and puzzled about what to do. I had to think quickly, I added, as I feigned to collapse right away. “Oh god, my head hurts so much.” I said as I exhaled sharply. Karl ran over to help me, as I was holding my head and groaning in pain.

“Where does it hurt.” He enquired as he grasped my hand, raising me up to sit on the sofa. “It aches, and I also need some rest.” I groaned further and, stealing a glance at Karl, I saw his contempt; he was really hurt for me. ” I guess you should excuse us and come back later for what you need.” Karl motioned for the officers to go, and they walked out of the home. I grinned wryly because my strategy had worked as they left without the drive.
