CARLISLEAs I got back home, I plopped down on the couch and just tested my head. On the entire drive back here, my mind was filled with crazy thoughts that wanted to consume my insides. I knew that the accusations were insane and Elinna had assured me time and time again that she would never cheat on me. Fact was, even if she didn't, I trusted her and I knew that she surely won't cheat on me. But I couldn't deny the fact that I felt like something was going on behind the scenes and I wasn't aware of it. The fact that she had gone off with him without informing me or anyone, the way she was worried when he was unconscious which is honestly understandable and the fact that the fight that they had made her a shadow of herself..I didn't even know what the fight was about so I couldn't even take sides. They could be having relationship issues for all I knew. Pain shot through my heart as I said those words. I didn't even want to imagine it. Gomez had been standing on the stairs and l
ELINNA“The King just left and he didn't seem very happy. Is everything okay?” I didn't even bother looking him in the eye because of course, he knew everything was not okay. I didn't even know what to do. The only support I had at a time like this was now gone. How on earth would Carlisle think about something like that? Or maybe it was something that I had done that would make him feel like that. But still, I thought he trusted me. I guess right now, the only option was to run back into the arms of the man I was accused of having an affair with. “The King thinks we're having an affair.”.His facial expression drops into one of despair and fear and he takes a few steps back as if that would help anything. “H-How- Why would he think such a thing?”.I slowly stood up from the bed. “It’s nothing, forget about it. We have more important things to worry about.” I knew this issue was important too but at least, we knew that Carlisle was angry and we knew who were up against. As fo
ELINNALawrence and I stared at each other after that, not knowing what else to do. “I'm guessing that the page is torn out because there is something there we shouldn't know.” Yeah, he got that right. I tried to think back to whether I had read that page when I initially got the book but I couldn't remember anything I had even initially read, with everything that had happened. What were we going to do now? “Thinking about it, why can't we just ask Ice?” Ice has been AWOL since the whole thing started so I figured she was busy with something else. For now, I was on my own. “Lawrence, what did the police ask you?”He rolled his eyes and sighed. “The same old. They said they had evidence against me and I had to confess to everything as soon as I'm out of the hospital so they can charge me with a crime I didn't commit. That's not even what I care about.” I gave him a look. “What can you care about more than your arrest and a record on your rap sheet?” “This whole saga, going p
ELINNAEventually, I was able to leave the house since I got Carlisle to come and stay here with Chase and my mum..I passed him on my way back to the hospital. “I’ll see you later when I get back. I have to go see Lawrence.” He held my hand back as I was about to leave. “When will you be back? Are you spending the night there?” I didn't know how far our discussions would go so I couldn't say exactly. “I'm not exactly sure but I'll let you know if something comes up. Oh and Lesian-” His eyes turned golden “If anything comes up, just let me know.” He nodded and I left. As I drove to the hospital, my eyes landed on the book beside me.The Book of Knowledge. That was the only thing that could tell me what the hell was going to happen on Saturday and what was so auspicious about that day. Before I could raise my head up to look at the road, something crashed into me from the side, causing my head to snap back and my head to hit the wall. I could feel the car spinning and knowing
ELINNAI stood by as they came and wanted to take Lawrence away but the Lawyers stopped them and said that they had to consult with rh doctors first. Thankfully, the doctor understood the situation and said that Lawrence was in no way supposed to leave the bed. So they brought their camera and everything into his room. I couldn't be in the room while the investigation was going on so I just paced around outside while my mind ran wild. I knew Lawrence was smart so he wouldn't say anything that would implicate us..My mind just kept wandering around. Why were they trying to put Lawrence and I out of the picture and not Carlisle? “Babe, has anything strange happened to you recently?” He was on the phone so he ended the call and looked at me. “What do you mean strange?”“I don't know. Something weird. Something that normally wouldn't happen.” He stayed quiet for a couple of moments. I needed to know if he was off their radar yet and why. “I don't think so. Except Chase refusing ou
ELINNA“Finding that safe house wasn't very hard. Whoever is in charge of that shit needs to do better. It was very easy. As for the dead officers, I didn't do that. They were already dead when I got there. How am I supposed to kill dead men or didn't you match the bullets that killed them to my gun?” They were trying to rile me up to say something but it wouldn't work. His partner spoke up. “You know what? You're right. The gun you were carrying was custom made, one of a kind. We'd recognize the gun and it's bullets anywhere. But the gun your bodyguard was carrying…now that's another story. Or didn't you check that part out. He carries a nine mil, doesn't he? The same kind of gun that was used to kill the officers. So if you didn't kill them, he did. And that makes you an accomplice.” That was just stupid. There were no gunshots when we got into the house and Lawrence would have told me if he had killed anyone in the house. But there was a silencer on his gun. Shit, now they ha
