LOVE OR REVENGE?
(Avenge?)
EPISODE 27
Shannon’s POV
“Wait” I stopped the policemen as they were about to leave the house.
 
“Why Shannon? ” Mr Jeremy asked me.
 
I wonder why he showed so much interest in me in getting Mr Bryant arrested.
 
“We do not need the police” I said.
“I can get it settled myself”
 
“What? ”
 
“I mean he killed my parents, so leave it to me to make decisions, I will get back to you later…Pls removed the handcuff ” I ordered.
 
“Are you aware of the consequences of taking Justice into your hands? ” A police man asked.
 
“I promise I won’t do anything against the rule of law” I said and watched him remove the handcuff from Mr Bryant hands.
 
I exhaled sadly..
 
“We are always there just incase you still want us” They said before leaving.

“What did you just do Shannon? Why did you send the policemen away? ” Mr Jeremy asked.
 
I wiped away my tears and that if my sister… though she’s still little, she understood all what is going on and she felt bad too.
 
“Mr Jeremy, I really do appreciate you for everything you’ve done too. Maybe Revenge isn’t the right thing.. sending Mr May to Jail isn’t the best to do afterall.
Jasmine isn’t the
only one losing something,
I am too, I’m gonna lose everything if I send Mr Bryant to Jail” I spoke remembering how he always whispered to Jasmine that she was going to lose everything..
 
The Bryant family continued to weep and filled with guilty.
 
“I thought you said you don’t care who killed
your parents? ” Mr Jeremy reminded.
 
I looked at Jasmine who was worn out with so much grief..
 
“Now I do, I mean how do you want me to feel if I ended up sending the father of the girl I love to jail? ” I asked and there was an awkward silence.
 
Mmm

“Mr Bryant, if you didn’t kill my mother, then who did it? ” I asked.
 
“I don’t know” He said with broken voice.
 
“Didn’t you say you would kill her? ”
 
“I… Immediately I shot your father, believe me I felt so bad, I regretted it.. How could I have killed your mom too?
Shannon, Emily I’m really sorry” Mr Bryant said.
 
He would do all things to make us believe he’s very sorry.
 
For the sake of everyone,
My unborn child, Jasmine.. I think i just have to let go.
 
If I kill him or hand him over to the police to take him to Jail?
Would it bring back my dead parents?
Would it change anything?
Would I derive so much Joy from it?
 
Emily’s Dream !
This is exactly what it means.
 
He killed Dad
Who killed Mom?
 
*
Alex rushed into the house, he has not been at home since the wh0le situation happened..
So he looked confused.
 
“What’s happening?
I saw two police Vans leaving our compound just now…” He asked staring at everyone but no one answered him.
 
“Is everything and everyone alright? Why is everyone looking so mournful?” He asked.
 
“I’m leaving now” I said instead then walked out of the house and Mr Jeremy scuttled behind me.
 
“I don’t think Mr Bryant
is saying the truth. If I didn’t tell you he killed your parents,
do you think he’ll ever tell you and I do not think it’s okay if he is punished for what he did” He said.
 
“Mr Jeremy, I don’t know why you took the case so consequential even more than I do.
It’s not like I’m happy that he turned
out to be the murderer, I’m not” I said still feeling so sorrowful within.
 
“Do you also beleive what he just said,
that he didn’t kill your mom even after the proof from the recorded-audio? ”
 
“I believe him, I think the investigation continues then” I said..
 
“An investigation with no severe punishment” Mr Jeremy insisted indirectly.
 
“The jail is for bad people.
Mr Bryant isn’t a bad man
not anymore.. ” I added, giving more reasons why I should let go of what happened eight years back.
 
“No Shannon, I’ve been ill-treated by Bryant’s daughter and you want me to sit and watch everything go on fine and smoothly?” Mr Jeremy said.
 
He won’t even feel remoseful if I had killed Mr Bryant or if he was taken to Jail.
 
“That’s why you want me to avenge?
Mr Jeremy, I feel the pain more than you do but there would be more pain if I do not let it go” I tried to explain but my phone buzzed..
 
📱 “Hello” I said into it, wondering who it was ‘cos the number was just strange.
 
“Am I speaking with Shannon Dawton?” The male caller asked.
 
“I’m CSI Ben” He added.
 
I sigh,
 
I should be making decisions myself..
I’m the one whose parents were killed..
 
I should be the one to decide if I want Mr Bryant arrested or not..
 
Why did a police call me now?
 
“Mrs Gilda is here with us, she confessed she murdered your mother” The CSI caller said.
 
Aunt Gilda…
