Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

The police stepped into the living room, delivering news that sent shockwaves through the air.

Regina had taken her own life. It was a bizarre scene; she had passed in such a silent manner, with no evident wounds on her body.

The autopsy on Regina's body had not yet been performed. The officers had come straight here to inform the Harrison family of the tragedy. Lena was beside herself, gasping in disbelief. "Impossible! How could Regina commit suicide?"

Tears brimmed in Lena's eyes as she clung to Hattie. "Mom, how could she do it?"

Hattie gently patted her hand, her voice soft but laced with her own confusion. "I'm as baffled as you are, Lena. Why would Regina take her life?"

Josefina stood up, her posture commanding attention. "No obvious wounds, yet she's dead. If she's gone, there's definitely something fishy. We need a thorough investigation." "We're working on it," the officer replied.

Hattie let out a heavy sigh. She had never expected Regina's end to come like this. She had wanted Regina to face the music, not to dance with death.

After the police had explained the situation and departed, Hattie turned to Josefina. "Josie, you head to your competition. I'll look into Regina's case further."

Josefina nodded, "Alright, I'll leave now." She got into her car, a sleek machine that responded to her touch. Slipping on her Bluetooth headset, she revved the engine and made a call. "Regina is dead, and the circumstances are downright eerie. Investigate. We need to uncover the real cause of her death."
