Besotted

Chapter 56

Caleb Pov

A thrilling silence prevailed between me and Nathan as we watched the video that Sang sent us. It would be weird to say, but I felt terrified as I heard her voice and saw what she did.

To top of that my mother was hurt and she looked like, she was bleeding very badly.

"How could San-"

"Listen! I know there is a lot going on inside you now but you saw what she did and what she said. She gave us only fifteen minutes to make Giselle confess," Nathan interrupted me, and as he said that I looked down at the phone.

"I know, but this is not right," I found myself talking as I thought about it.

"We were already looking for Giselle's weakness. We found it! Look! Caleb. Just don't think about it! Before Sangavi does which would ruin both of your lives, let's stop it!" he said and I looked up at him, nodding. I felt perplexed about what I was going on, but nothing mattered to me more than my family. I wanted to reach my mother for her aid and Sang as soon as possible.

"Let's go!" I said and we re-entered the police station, wanting to meet Giselle.

We were already in the police station with Giselle as the officers tried to interrogate her, but she refused to open her mouth even after the man with her that we caught, confessed to everything.

The officer looked back at me through the glass door and I looked back at my phone's screen. Sang gave me only fifteen minutes.

I signaled the officer to come out of the room and asked him if I could talk to Giselle. He thought about it and asked his fellow mate in charge and allowed me in. Nathan chose to stay out of the room with the officers, as I took the seat before Giselle who spits to her side as she scrunched up her nose in disgust looking back at me.

"No matter how many times you come here and show your face, it's not gonna work for you guys you know!" she muttered and I smiled nodding at her.

"It is already starting to work as the guy, Victor who is your bodyguard has already opened his mouth!" I told her as she huffed at me.

"So what? His testimony doesn't have any value. I don't even know that guy," she looked so assertive with her response that my hands went sweaty. I didn't wish to do what I was planning to do as I took my phone out and kept it before her.

"What's this?" she asked as her eyes fell on my phone and I pushed the phone further. "See-through it! Maybe it will open your mouth!" I told her as she narrowed her eyes and raised her hands up which were handcuffed as she played the video.

The video started playing and the sounds of a woman crying and yelling were heard. I watched as her eyes widened up for a second as she watched the video with Sang warning her to open her mouth as she hit Hailey who yelped in pain. I could see there was some tension in Giselle's eye for the first time as she watched the video and I was on the edge of the chair. I was sure, she would eventually give up and confess.

Sang told me that Hailey was Giselle's daughter and Hailey's father is her, cousin brother. They have been together, plotting so many things against innocent people. Whatever it was, I hoped at least a mother's instinct and protectiveness was there inside Giselle as she looked worried just for a second but the next minute, she threw the phone back at me and it caught me off-guard as I caught it and looked at her cautiously.

"Why are showing this to me? I don't have any relation to this," she said with a deadpan face and I gawked at her for a second before blood boiled in me and I got up slamming my hands on the table.

"To your own daughter? Do you choose yourself over your own daughter? What type of mother are you?" I yelled and the door opened as the officers walked in.
