In the beginning it seemed like Richard was not confused at all what happened, that he was charged for murder of Anna killing her with a hammer? He literally smashed her head with... Richard was pretty handy and he loved Anna, he always said to her “you are beautiful” and he would rebuild that place, and make a sparrow nest for her. To raise their kids and to live there as happy as humanly possible. I was shocked when I started reading what Richard was doing do clean all these blood spots and placed Anna's bloody head in one of the flower pots on the balcony. Then watching TV and easily falling asleep, after waking up he called the police to tell what he did, wow. Richard explaining to Nicky why he chose her as his attorney and why it made sense, at least for him. This story wasn’t only about Richard, it was about Nicky as his his attorney as well. She was in love, I could call it the true love when one supports the other unconditionally, at least from her side, however Jeremy, her lover had different plans. While she was coming back home by taking a taxi after her appointment with Richard, taxi suddenly crashed. Jeremy, cousin and some other man planned to kill her and use Richard as a distraction to get from her and her family what they wanted. When Nicky woke up in the hospital in pain she saw Jeremy next to her. She was happy to see him not knowing what he planned, she asked him for a glass of water. Then he told her they have to leave. She was confused and at the same time nurse didn’t allow them to leave, because of her condition, than he finaly said "My cousin Zigger is here at the hospital to kill you. We arranged your accident.". She was shocked, but than putting everything together and it all made sense. Richard, their oil company, that accident, they planed to kill her to get to her wealth. But Jeremy got cold feet, perhaps he realized he was sorry or he loves her. Than the police arrived...
Great short story!
