I Am An Illegitimate Child With A Legitimate Reason For Revenge-Chapter 153: Javen died because of her

Alexa drove to the police station. As she got down from her car, she breathed out in an attempt to calm her nerves.

A public speaker getting nervous? Now that was new. But unlike when standing in front of a huge crowd, spewing all the words she memorized and rehearsed countless times, this time, she was going in with no notes to remind her of her lines or any form of expectation.

She was going in to ask her close friend, ’why?’

She got into the station and went straight to the front desk to make her inquiry.

"Hello, good day officer." She greeted and of course, she got the police man’s attention immediately.

"What can I do for a pretty lady like you?" He asked. This police officer had a clean shaved face and sleek hair, parted to the left.

He looked well trimmed and Alexa couldn’t help but wonder if he was trying to impress any lady as of late.

Brushing aside this topic of insignificance, she went ahead to ask,

"I’m looking for a man who was brought in yesterday. He’s tall, has brown hair and goes by the name Javen Gunter." She described. "He was taken in with the charge of ’breaking and entering’."

"Oh, that guy?" The officer flipped the books. "Someone just came in a while ago looking for that same person."

Alexa’s eyes widened.

"Who?" She asked in a rushed manner, shocking the officer? "Was it a woman?"

"No, it was a man." The officer said. "But he left about an hour ago."

Alexa breathed out a sigh of relief. It wasn’t Serena.

"Alright, can I see him?"

"It’s not visiting hours yet, ma’am." The officer politely said but Alexa was desperate and so she pleaded.

"Please, officer. I need to speak to him. He’s my friend and yet he went ahead to break into my house. I want to know why he did it."

"Oh, so you’re the victim." He said with scrutinizing eyes. "It’s no wonder he committed that act." He mumbled but Alexa heard him loud and clear. "Since that’s the case, I don’t need to restrict you." He said.

"Thank you, officer." She thanked him and noticed his head swelling. He was such an easy guy.

The officer got up and led Alexa to the cell only for them to stumble on a shocking scene. Javen was attempting to commit suicide and with a gun, no less.

Shocked, Alexa’s body froze in place. What was he doing?

"Hey, put that down." The officer yelled, shielding Alexa with his body. "I said put that down."

Javen slowly looked towards their direction. His eyes were lifeless and he looked like someone who had given up completely.

While the officer reported a 10-56A to the other officers, Javen and Alexa locked eyes. Searching through those lifeless eyeballs, Alexa felt a little mutter slip through her lips,

"Why?"

Javen, who seemed to have given up on everything, was glad he could see Alexa for the last time before his demise and smiled. Such a ugly smile on a pretty face.

"Close your eyes." She read his lips and at that moment, she knew there was no stopping him. She closed her eyes, turning her head to the side and heard a loud bang.

Her body shuddered at the noise and slowly, tears slipped out of her closed eyes. How did it come to that?

Why did he go so far? Was he moved by depression or was he being threatened? She was such a great psychologist yet she couldn’t find out these answers no matter how hard she thought about it.

She didn’t open her eyes and just turned around. She couldn’t bear to see what was in front of her. She’d have nightmares, no doubt.

The police officers took her away from there and decided to ask her a few questions, hoping maybe they would get a hint of why Javen broke into her house and ended up commiting suicide.

She tried to come up with a lot of reasonable reasons but she couldn’t come up with one. All she knew was that he was in love with her and wanted to be in a relationship with her but she wasn’t ready yet... rather, she wasn’t interested and turned him down countless times.

Was that enough reason to break into her apartment, set up mini cameras and then commit suicide? His feelings weren’t that deep that he’d go over the edge, so what moved him?

"Thank you for your cooperation." The officer said to her and she nodded. "Get home safely."

Alexa stood outside the station, staring into space. What was she going to do now? She was beyond scared. She checked the info of the man who came to visit Javen before her but everything he put down was fake. His name, his number.

She wanted to believe that he said something to Javen that made him commit suicide but the officer who was with them at the time, said they only had a casual conversation.

Javen didn’t talk much and it seemed the other person was trying to comfort him, telling him not to do anything stupid or waste his life.

That was just about it so the police were very clueless. How he got the gun, they didn’t know either.

This case had to be investigated thoroughly but since it was a suicide act, they wouldn’t take it too seriously. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"I’m exhausted." Alexa exclaimed and a breeze blew her hair across her face. She slid it behind her ear and sighed.

Getting back to the hospital, Alexa took Rachael and went straight home. Once they were home, she flopped on her bed and covered her face with her arm.

Rachael watched her mother from the side and got in the bed, eventually falling asleep but Alexa couldn’t sleep. These scary factors haunted her.

She had already taken out all the cameras but that feeling of being watched still creeped her. What if, while they were out, someone else broke in again and set up more mini cameras?

Knowing this, she went to check everywhere to make sure there was none. It wouldn’t be difficult for Serena to pull the same stunt twice.

She also felt she was responsible for Javen’s death so she couldn’t sleep peacefully. Serena used them both and they had to suffer it.

Saying this to herself was the only way she could comfort herself that Javen was a good person and they were both victims. Yet, she knew she had some fault in this and blamed herself.

"I’m sorry." She muttered, covering her mouth as she choked on her own tears.

She felt this was her fault. Going against Serena was what brought about all of this. So Javen died because of her.
