We arrived at the flatlet, it was some meters away from my house. It was a small wooden house with three rooms. We went inside, Henry wasn't there.
<<Where is Henry?>> James asked me looking around. I was about to answer him but suddenly I heard footsteps from behind me, I turned around, was Henry.
<<Henry!>> I said. <<I know it sounds mad but Brian killed John and my parents. He is not who he says he is>>
<<Betty, I don't like this>> James whispered in my ear.
<<I know it. I know everything. About your brother and your parents. I know that Brian is your father's son>> he said with an ironic smile on his face. <<Brian and I planned everything. We made William destroy the brakes in your parents' car, he put belladonna in the whisky>>
<<Why did you do this to my family? To me?>> I shouted at him.
<<You know why. If John and you were gone, we would get all your fortune. You see I was planning to kill you after our marriage but since you know everything now I don't have another choice>> he said smirking. He took a box of match out of his pocket and lighted one up.
<<You are a jerk>> I yelled at the top of my lungs.
<<You aren't going to get away with it>> said James in anger.
<<I already have>> he said. Just then he threw the match on the floor and quickly exited the flatlet.
James went and hit the door but noting happened it was locked. <<What do we do now?>> he asked me. But I couldn't think of an answer, my mind was hopping. That traitor! I can't believe that I said I would marry him. I was an idiot. The house had started catching fire, which made it hard to breath. I sat on a corner my eyes were tearing up. James came and sat next to me. <<So we reached a dead end>> he said. I nodded, I couldn't talk, I had lost my words. <<Look, if we are going to die tonight>> he coughed, the smoke made it so hard to breath. <<I have been in love with you since the first grade of high school but I never had the courage to tell you>>. he coughed again
<<I..>>
<<I really like you and if you don't feel the same way is fine I...>>
I didn't let him to finish his sentence, I kissed him. After some seconds we pulled away and he looked at me in shock.
<<I'm in love with you too>> I told him and he leaned closer and kissed me. All of the sudden we heard a sound coming from the door and we pulled away. The door opened and we heard a voice talking.
<<Come out, quickly>> and that was what we did. We went outside and I saw the person that I least expected, it was Amelie.
<<What are you doing here?>> I asked, I was puzzled how did she went out of prison?
<<I'm saving your life. A thank you wouldn't mind you know>>
<<Thank you and I'm deeply sorry for accusing you>> I apologised. She came and hugged me so tight that I couldn't breath.
<<I'm sorry that I'm ruinnig the moment but we have to go back to the house>> said James and he was right.
As we were going back to the house Amelie called the police so it was already there when we arrived. We exlained them everything and we went together inside. We found Henry, Brian and William in the living room with another man who probably was a lawyer.
<<Hands up! You four are under arrest for the murder of Christopher, Annabelle and Jonathan Miller>> said the first police officer. And all were shocked. The police men handcuffed and the four of them.
<<No, there must have been a mistake>> Brian said in anger.
<<Keep the excusses for the courd>> the policeman shut them up.
<<We are inocent>> said Henry but the officers leaded them out of the house and took them away.
<<We did it!>> I said and a feeling of excitement pouring inside me. James came and hugged me tight. After he kissed me on the lips and I kissed him back.
<<Have I noises something?>> Amelie asked with a little smirk on her face. We pulled away and I turned to her mouthed her to shut up.
Just then Theodore came inside. <<What is going on? Why are they two hugging?>>
<<Long story>> James answered him.
<<A really long one>> I added smiling at him.
