Mason's POV159Please respect copyright.PENANATASLneyeni
159Please respect copyright.PENANAvARM4p7pgz
It’s been eight years. Eight years since my wife has passed away. It's been very hard for me because almost every day this week I have woken up in a cold sweat. I got up off the sofa and went to the kitchen where I opened the fridge and grabbed myself a bottle of Miller's Lite Beer. Afterward, I went back to the couch where I turned on the TV. As I was drinking my beer I flipped through the channels when I stumbled across the news. 159Please respect copyright.PENANAY86XszJEBr
"Today Aria Martinez, Onix PD's formal Homicide Detective has been released from her 20-year prison sentence for killing her ex-husband Scott Hughes. We got an exclusive interview with her."159Please respect copyright.PENANAwBmha1777K
159Please respect copyright.PENANAuEawOs0pDs
Then it zoomed to a woman with short black hair and a sleeve of tattoos. I spit out my beer in shock when I saw her face.159Please respect copyright.PENANA1257UBLHd7
"Hello, how are you doing today Aria?"159Please respect copyright.PENANAuUovQ380Eh

159Please respect copyright.PENANAGVGcnX3Xdl
"No, unfortunately..." she stopped midsentence and started to tear up which only made me cry. 159Please respect copyright.PENANApDllD5xAGf
She continued with tears in her eyes "No, I haven't. In fact, I haven't talked to them since my first year of my sentencing.... I didn't want them to see me like this...that wasn't the example I wanted to set for my babies."159Please respect copyright.PENANAW9rojLKUSv

159Please respect copyright.PENANAaTeocSEBaW
"Well...I know the media thinks its cold-blooded murder but you have to look at it in a wider aspect.

After that, I turned off the TV. I got up and threw my beer bottle at the wall and it shattered into multiple pieces. I dropped to my knees in rejoice. All I can think of is to find her.
