ELINNA

“Thank you, Gomez. Thank you for telling me.”

I dropped the phone quietly on the table and let out a very deep sigh.

“What is it? Is everything okay in the Kingdom? Is the King okay?”

Lawrence was sitting across from me and we had been having a little meeting.

“Yes, he's fine. In fact, Gomez said he's woken up.”

There was a smile on his face that didn't match the look on mine and he noticed it.

“You don't seem happy at that. Why?”

There was no exact reason. I mean, I was happy that he was awake. I don't think I can deal with him being in a coma like Gomez was. I guess I wasn't just happy about the fact that I didn't know if we were now on talking terms or not.

Gomez didn't exactly say that he had asked about me but I'm very sure that he would have asked about Chase.

“It’s nothing, don't worry about it. You can go back to work. You should call him, you know. Let him know that I know, in case Gomez didn't tell him.”

I knew he wanted to say something else but he didn't.

    CARLISLEA FEW HOURS BEFORE. “You’re injured.”I looked at Gomez. “Emily’s dead.” “I know, I can't do anything about it.”He has a point. I sat down on the floor, looking at her body. She shouldn't have been dragged into any of this. Why was she so interested in this part of life? She was the President's daughter and she could have anything she wanted. She was supposed to be jumping from country to country, going on shopping sprees or doing something else that wouldn't put her life in sure danger. Now, she was dead and I had to break the news to her father and possibly the whole country that I hadn't killed her. So how did she die? I don't know. If anyone got to find out about the way she died, everything would be known in the open because it would become known that I was involved in drugs and my entire company was built from dirty money. My investors would leave, my company would go bankrupt, my accounts would be frozen, my legacy would die and I would be arrested and jailed fo

    CARLISLESpeaking of bridges, we got to one and we had to stop the car. “Gomez, what's going on? Is it traffic?” We had tinted windows so I wasn't worried that someone would pass by and look in..“I don't know.” He got out of the car and looked up ahead. I turned around to look at Emily, hoping that she would have woken up. “Carlisle, it's a stop and search.”My heart fell and my eyes widened as I got out of the car to look up ahead. Several teams of police stopped several cars before us, searching trunks and papers. As we got into the car, I looked at Gomez. “That can't be a coincidence. Today of all days?”He nodded. “You think they tipped the police off?”I wouldn't be very far from the truth if I said that. I whipped out my phone and dialed only one number that could save me from this. “Hello, Mr Commissioner. It's been a while.”“Mr Evergreen, it's so good to hear from-”“Yes, I didn't call for pleasantries. I'm currently at the bridge going back into your city and I see th

    CARLISLEAfter that, we didn't experience any more difficulties until we got to the president's house. We were let in this time around but then we still had to get her body down from the car..“We need to see the President. Tell him I'm here to see him and tell him to hurry up..it's important.”One of the guards laughed at me like I had told a terrible joke but he couldn't help but laugh.“That’s not going to work. You can't just waltz in here and expect everybody to bow to you.” I really didn't have time for this. “Gomez, bring her down from the car.” He looked at me, confused. “Are you sure that's a good idea?”.I didn't see any other better ideas that would make them bring the president out here so we had to do what we could. He went over to the backseat and I stared at the guards as their expression changed from comic to horrified. Then all of a sudden, they brought out their guns and pointed them at us. They were all shouting over themselves and it was just so noisy. “Ge

    CARLISLEI tried to reach out for her hand but she pulled away from me. “Are you okay? What's wrong with you? You looked like you were in pain.”She shook her head. “You saw wrong. It's nothing. I was just…don't worry about it.”Next thing I knew, she was out the door. What was she talking about? I knew what I had seen and why was she telling me that it was nothing? I ran after her, not wanting to take what she had told me for an answer because it wasn't a good one. “Elinna, what's going on? I know what I saw. Why're you making me feel like I'm crazy? You were obviously in pain and you were hunched over. Sweat has been dripping from your face since you walked into the room and even though the AC is on full force, it didn't dry up. So you can't tell me that you're fine or everything is okay because I won't believe it. What the hell is going on?” I knew we were shouting but I didn't care. She needed to tell me what was going on. If she was sick, she needed to say it. As she stared

    CARLISLEThat same evening, we went back home. We'd gotten a call after a few minutes there. “Something came up. I might not be able to make it. I'll let you know if I can.”There was no use staying there when we weren't sure if they would come so we went back home. Besides, it was raining very hard. As we entered the house, there were several bags on the floor and there were decorations on the walls too. Helen was blowing up some balloons and I looked at her, wondering what she was doing. She stood up as soon as she recognized me. “My King, welcome home.”I nodded at her. “What’s all this? What's the celebration?” “Oh, it's for Chase's birthday. Elinna forgot and we had to go to the store to grab a few things so we could properly prepare.” Chase's birthday. I had completely forgotten about it too. A lot was going through both our minds and a thought like that would have never crossed my mind matter what. I didn't see Elinna anywhere in sight so I I figured she was busy with s

    CARLISLEAfter we'd left the President's house that day, I'd ask Gomez to take Emily's phone since it didn't go through when we tried calling. I hope that didn't tip them off because I don't know if Emily had tried calling them before. “Don’t even think of telling anyone that we came to see you. Whoever it is already knows I'm in the city. I'm keeping an eye on you. If you let any one know that we came here or that we took your phone and we're coming after them, I'll make sure I deal with you and even your father and the FBI won't be able to save you.” I told Gomez to work with Alex so that they could get me the recording of all the calls that had transpired between Emily an the unknown person and see if they could find where the call came from or a cell phone tower around. I hadn't been able to get any sleep or do anything because my entire mind was on this whole thing. If I was able to find out who it was, then it meant that half of this problem would be solved. Gomez came to me
