A/N: I must sound like a broken record but I have to say a massive thank you to all of you who read and review this story, it is literally the best part of my day when I read your comments. Okay so I wanted to say that this story is getting closer to the end and I reckon there are going to be about five more chapters. I have to say though there is still more shocking stuff to come from a favourite villain Fabian, so it's not over yet. Please keep reviewing and reading thank you Bamboo x
I knew I needed to watch every movement Fabian made, any sort of crinkle of his nose or his pupils dilate then I would know if he was lying. Fabian paused to think of how to word the question, which seemed odd for a supposedly innocent man.
"No Patricia, why would I do this to you?" I looked directly into his eyes and I saw nothing; if this was lying he was getting pro at it that's for sure. But if Fabian hadn't done it, then who did? I was so sure after KT had said she found me on the road to the Plaza hotel.
"Then if you didn't do this, who did?" I knew instantly who Fabian would pick on, Eddie Miller. He'd practically sent him to prison with his statement.
"Your crazy boyfriend did this to you!" His voice was rising ever so slightly.
"What would Eddie be doing on this side of town though?" Then I saw it, the shift in weight and Fabian eyes looking anywhere but at me; he was nervous. I struck a chord then, maybe I'd been right after all, maybe Fabian had done this.
"What do you mean on this side of town?" Fabian tried to say it with as much surprise as he could, but I could help but notice the sweat building up on his forehead and the lack of eye contact. It meant one thing he knew, that I knew.
"KT told me she found me on this end of town, not that far from the Plaza Hotel. Eddie doesn't live or work over here so why would he take me to an open road and punch me to death it doesn't make any sense. The only really weird thing is you should know where I was found because you saw the whole thing remember?" With that I saw the swaying backwards and forwards on his legs, I had said too much and trapped him. Fabian Rutter was the per portrayer of the crime. Then all of sudden he was running! He knew, he been caught and I knew who I needed to talk to. Piper!
The walk back to the Plaza Hotel was long and nerve racking. How was I meant to tell Piper? When I arrived at the Plaza, the reception was still heaving full of families that were checking in and out. There was something that caught my eye when I got inside, I saw Piper talking to Sarah and her family. How was I meant to talk to her now? She was talking to the women who hated me.
However it didn't take long for Mia to notice me, "Patricia," she said whilst running towards me, "Will you do me a favour, will you look after me daddy he needs his friends right now." I bent down to her level and then I looked up at her and nodded.
"Of course I will Mia" That was a promise which I wanted to keep for Mia and Eddie's sake. Well if Eddie would let me. Because now I knew the truth, that Fabian had done it.
"Come here Mia, we have to go." I knew that voice, it was Sarah. You could here the desperation in her voice, she had wanted Mia as far away from me as possible but Mia didnt seem to motice as she had pulled me into a hug and then ran back to her mother. With that I watched as Mia walked away with her mother.
Before I knew it, Piper was stood in front of me so I rose to my feet and stared at her. "So did she have anything good to say?" Piper knew who I was talking about instantly and smiled to herself knowingly.
"What Sarah? I just told her why we were here." Was Piper an idiot why would she tell Sarah about Fabian?
"You told her about the theory?" I could see her face scrunch up, maybe I'd got it wrong?
"No, I told her you needed to talk to Fabian; not that you think he was the one to hurt you." Oh I had got it wrong, Piper has been brilliant. "How did it go?"
"Well I know now that Fabian did it." I watch as her face dropped, it has come to a shock to her.
"Are you sure?" Her voice was hesitant, it was probably the shock.
"A hundred percent" I look down at the ground, I never realised how difficult this would be to say. I can't let Eddie go down for something he hasn't done but the thought of a man who I've known for years doing this to me, is just so difficult to process.
"Are you okay?" I didn't know if I was all I knew was my whole life had changed this week. I had fallen for a guy who at the beginning of the week was only in it for the money, I had found out that my sister was one the people I could rely on and that the guy who I once loved had hurt me in more ways than one.
"I don't think so." Before I knew it my eyes were stinging, the tears were rolling across my face. I hadn't realised the effect that finding this out would. Before I knew it, Piper had wrapped her arms around me and was pulling me close to her chest.
"Look, you need to talk to Eddie, tell him you know the truth." She was right, I needed to talk to Eddie because if I could prove he didn't do it then he could get Mia back. That's all I wanted for him, I wanted him to be happy.
"Okay well, will you come with me to see him?"
