Chapter Eighty-Nine
Martin
A few hours ago
London
 
     On Saturday morning, the day of Anna's wedding, Martin was able to install a listening device in the Collins' house with the help of that double agent, and put one or two picture frames as a souvenir from Martin on the mantelpiece or somewhere out of sight. That day was the worst morning of Martin's life; a vague and of course terrifying voice kept repeating in his mind, getting clearer and scarier than the previous time with each repetition. That voice kept repeating in his mind and saying "Are you still listening to my voice behind the phone? You won't forget this voice ever, you won't forget this, I promise you and I swear that I will destroy your beautiful life one day; I will make you the most miserable person in the world. Do you want to know who I am? I'll tell you in answer to this question" I'm a madman."
The man who everyone thought was a madman was actually caught in the trap of a chained madman. Martin, who had accidentally met Peter with the intention and purpose of reaching his goal and had lied to Mr. Collins to stay alive and then released Peter unharmed, was now restless. After all, this man was not crazy from the beginning and maybe his life was ruined by this threat and he had turned from a sane and happy man to a madman drowning in misery. This was a reality that this man was only living to take revenge on an unknown person. Martin was lost in these thoughts until three o'clock in the afternoon when he suddenly realized that Mr. Collins was sitting silently in front of him and staring at him; Martin was waiting for him to come, so he laughed and said: "My enemy is now sitting in silence in front of me, don't you want to try your luck again? Did you listen to those recorded sounds? What do you think? If you still want to kill me, do it with ease, no one will resist you. If you haven't changed your mind, kill me now because I can't stand this life anymore."
   Mr. Collins was crying incessantly and as soon as he could speak; He said in a broken voice: "It was very hard for me to come here and sit in front of you and say' I was wrong about you all these years but I'm sorry.' "
   Martin said to himself: "If you doubted me all these years; Why did you help me in court and why did you imprison me here after that?"
   They hugged each other and then Mr. Collins said: "I will help you to find out the truth of the matter; I will help you."
   Martin or the living dead said to himself: "I'm not fooled by this easily, you don't trust me but you doubt him too."
   Josh said: "This story is very strange and painful. I don't want this story to be true because if it is, I'll go crazy."
   Martin said: "This reality made me crazy." Then he laughed and said: "I forgot for a moment that you are my enemy and you don't believe me."
   "I feel very sorry for you; I looked at this issue from a different perspective with your help. It's painful and unbelievable for me, but there is a possibility that he did it."
   "I know it's easier for you to blame me than him."
    Mr. Collins said: "Yes, it's easier for me to think that way and I wish it was. Anyway, I will investigate the possibility that he is the culprit."
   Martin smiled and said to himself: "It's a great success for me that he's here now and thinking about this issue." Then he turned to Josh and said: "Anyway, there is a possibility that he is the culprit; considering what happened between the three of us, it's not unlikely that he did it."
   Mr. Collins sighed and said softly: "Yes; there is a possibility." Then he said: "By the way, you have to be careful because of the snow globe, he's back." He paused again and this time they both said at the same time: "Beatrice."
   Martin said: "Did he threaten me?"
    Josh said: "Why are you saying this now?!"
   Martin noticed the sparkle in Josh's eyes when he said that.
After Josh left, Martin was lost in thought because Anna called him and gave him Amy's phone number and asked if I was really Amy Moyes's daughter? Martin just said in response: "I don't know."
