Chapter: Chapter 52The warehouse was deathly silent for a split second. Freya stepped over a puddle of oily water, her expensive heels clicking on the concrete. She didn’t look at the trembling Taylor, her eyes were fixed solely on Robert.“Robert, don’t be a fool,” Freya hissed, signaling her security guards to stand down but keep the exits blocked. “We aren’t here to call the cops on you. We came here to work with you. We all want the same thing, to make sure this trash doesn’t ruin the family name.”Robert looked at his cousins with pure disgust. He wiped a smudge of Taylor’s blood from his cheek and let out a dry humourless laugh.“Work with me?” Robert spat the words like they were poison. “You’re all so transparent it’s pathetic. You selfish, bottom-feeding parasites.”“Robert, watch your mouth,” Cole barked, stepping forward. “We’re trying to save your life.”“I don’t need you to save my life!” Robert roared, his voice echoing off the walls. “Everything I did, I did for my sister. Because while

Chapter: Chapter 51Avery felt a wave of relief so strong she had to lean against the wall. If Titan was awake, Taylor wasn't a murderer. The charges would change, the death penalty, or life in prison was off the table.But as she looked around the room, she saw Robert standing in the corner. He was staring at her with a look of pure hatred. He tucked his stained sleeve behind his back.Titan groaned from the bed, her eyes fluttering open. She looked around the room, her gaze landing on Avery.“You...” Titan whispered, her voice raspy and weak.The room went silent.“Where is she?” Titan asked, her hand trembling as she tried to reach out. “Where is the girl who did this?”“She’s being handled, honey,” Freya said, rushing to the bedside.“No,” Titan gasped, coughing. “You don’t understand. She... she didn’t...”Titan’s heart monitor began to beep rapidly. The doctor pushed everyone back. “She’s overexerting herself! Everyone out! Now!”Anthony looked at Avery as they were being sent out into the hallwa

Chapter: Chapter 50All eyes now were on Cole. Freya and Lydia started subtly fidgeting because they knew if Mrs. Valerie found out about Maya, they'll be cooked. “It’s the hospital of course.” Freya stepped in.“I didn’t ask you Freya.” The mother shot back. “But you don’t expect Cole to have a direct answer to that.” Freya knew they were about getting caught. Her eyes glanced over to Avery and she noticed the small smile playing on her face. This angered her so freaking bad. “Then why did he hesitate to answer?” Mrs. Valerie moved her focus back to Cole. “It’s because I was trying to remember the particular doctor that told “US” about her death.” He emphasized on the US because he was referring to when they were all at the hospital. Anthony noticed how he was trying to play with their mother’s intelligence but he said absolutely nothing about it. “Mother, I and Avery would be leaving now we have other things to do.” Avery gave a curt bow to the mom and ignored the sneer Lydia was giving her.

Chapter: Chapter 49“Get in the car.” A masked person pushed Taylor into a car. The officers said nothing, they pretended not to see. The person forced her into the car, blindfolded her and handcuffed her. She didn’t know where she was headed, she didn’t even know what time it was but all she could make out from all of this is that it was a man who took her. –Taylor stared at Titan’s body, her legs about to give up on her. She felt guilty not only at the fact Titan was in a coma because of her but the shame and pain her best friend was also going to face. Robert had paid the officers to keep quiet and he took Taylor from her cell. Placing her in handcuffs and blindfolding her. She was frightened to her core but she couldn’t scream. Now she stood in the middle of Titan’s room, pathetic and weak. “I didn’t kill anyone, she’s not dead, I’m not a killer” she kept repeating herself as she curled herself up on the floor.Pain sprang up her arm cutting her thoughts short. “What do you think you’re doing?

Chapter: Chapter 48Mrs Valerie arrived and everywhere suddenly became cold. “Where is she?!?!” She calmly said as she walked in. “She has been taken to the hospital mother.” Anthony replied quickly. Avery stood to the side like a monument, she didn’t say a single word. She hoped Anthony would cover up for Taylor. She loved her best friend too much to let her rot in jail. “Who did it?” No one said anything and the restaurant was dead silent. “I said, WHO DID IT?!?!” She bellowed, her voice breaking down. “Mother, relax. Let me explain.” She raised her hand signaling that he keeps quiet. “Avery, you've been oddly quiet since I got here.” She cocked her head at her. “M-ma I understand you’re in quite a mood. I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to trigger you.” Her voice shook a little. “Mother, listen to me. Titan died because of a little brawl. It was totally a mistake.” Mrs Valerie laughed at the words that spewed from her son's lips. Even Avery wondered what sort of cover up that was.

Chapter: Chapter 47"I will slit your throat open and feed it to wild animals.!!""Anthony listen to me.”Avery yelled, holding his hands."You shouldn't treat this with violence, please.” She pleaded and Anthony face her."Do you know who she is, huh? my cousin.” Anthony barked throwing the knife away.Avery finally breathed out, thank God he threw the knife away."Yes, I know but we can't judge this case without knowing what happened.” Avery said, holding his second hand's too.Taylor's eyes didn't leave the dead body on the stretch.Why did she do it, why will she makes Avery finally talk calmly to the man she was never to talk to.Anthony turned to Avery."Not like the friend of his cousin killer but as his wife, the woman he has been trying to win back."Meanwhile the ambulance has started taking the bodies out and the officer's step forward, taking Taylor away while Avery gave her a reassuring smile.Taylor closed her eyes as the door of the car closed. she sat in the middle of the two officers at
