Over Him... (Sort Of)

JADA POV

Walking into the station I was worried. Not knowing is what was killing me. An officer met us at the door "jada?". I nodded "that's me". When he saw Chris he smiled "Christopher? I haven't seen you here in a long time".

"Officer brown? Man it's been a long time" Chris smiled.

"I'm happy you straightened up" he said.

"Umm not break up the moment but can we get back to what happened?" I asked. The officer cleared his throat "oh yes. We took some pictures of the place so you can see what's missing".

"I can't go in my place?" I asked.

"Not until this investigation is over. We don't want you tampering with potential evidence" he said. We followed him into a room. He had a folder on the table "now take your time and look through these". I nodded. Chris went with the officer to chat.

Going through each photo I saw how trashed my place was. Everything was thrown around. Whomever did this made sure to destroy everything I worked hard to get. Feeling tears fill my eyes.

Hearing the door open I felt Chris hand on my shoulder "you okay?".

Shaking my head "no! Look at my place?!. It's destroyed. And for what? Can't catch a break". Chris sat next to me "the police division here will catch whom ever did this. Trust me".

Glancing at one more photo I saw my jewelry box is open and everything was missing. I gasped "oh my gawd they took my necklace!".

"Okay we will get you another one" he said.

Shaking my head "we can't! My mom gave me that". Now the tears were pouring out of my eyes. Chris hugged me "it's okay". Looking up at him "it's not okay. You can't say it. They trashed my place beyond recognition and they took my necklace my mom gave to me". Chris had nothing to say.

Getting up I met the same officer "here you go".

"Whom ever did this... is a monster and it seems personal" he said.

"I'm sure you will catch whoever" Chris said.

The officer nodded "we will do our best. Jada did you have any enemies?".

"Where do I start?" I joked.

The officer glanced at Chris "if anything we will call you". Walking out to the car I was so upset. We rode in silence. What was to be said?.

"My mom gave me this beautiful fourteen karat gold chain. It had a heart pendant and a hansa pendant. She claims the hansa would protect me from evil or negative people. When she gave me that I thought I was so special. Then a month later she disappeared. Or killed herself.. I always had that chain on. But I took it off because Gianna was pulling on it" I said.

"Jada I can't promise you that we can replace they chain. But if anything I'll try and replicate it. I could only imagine how it feels to lose something that made you feel so close to someone" Chris said.

Glancing at the backseat I saw Gianna sleeping.  Still feeling the tears fall down my cheeks. Taking my hand and wiping them. Chris put his hand on my thigh as he glanced at me.

By the time we got to the house I was mentally and psychically exhausted. Chris put Gianna in her crib and came back to his room. He stood there just watching me. I sat on the bed just staring ahead "maybe if you rest... it'll be best".

Turning to him "do you ever ask why me?".

He sighed joining me on the bed "not usually".

"I guess that's one of those positive things of being a prince. I've always asked why me. At times I always wanted to know when will it be my time to just have pure happiness.... that only time I felt that happiness is when I gave birth to Gianna. It's so hard to have happiness all the time without something coming in and taking it" I said. Chris motioned me to lay down with him. Laying my head on his chest as he held me. He didn't say anything. We just laid there. Together. He gently traced my arm with the tip of his fingers. That was making me relax a little.

The next morning I awoke to an empty bed. My eyes were so puffy from all the crying I've done previously. Walking to the kitchen I saw Chris on the phone. He glanced at me with this look. Raising my brow cause it couldn't be good.

"Yes thank you for letting me know. I'll ask her" he said. Putting the phone down he gave me a worried look "what?".

"That was officer brown. He wanted me to ask you about a message that was written on the wall of your place. I want to tell you what he said exactly. But I don't want to put you in that space you were in last night. But it's in regards to your mother" he said.

My mouth dropped open "what the fuck?".

Chris blinked at me "same thing I said. Now that cuts the suspect list in half. It had to be someone who knew about your mother's death".

"The only people who knew... my family. Chas, Paula and her brother..." I said. Chris said nothing but he stared at me... we both had the same idea forming.
