CARLISLEHow did they find out that something had happened to Emily except the fact that he would have told them? For the fact that he told them, that means that he's ready to tell them that she's dead and he can't say that without offering a solution. This whole thing was a trap. “So what can be done to resolve this whole thing? It's already getting out of hand and I don't want it to get too serious. The press would have a field day with news like this. They love my family.” He emptied his cup and then set it down, laughing and wiping his lips with the back of his hand. I took a moment to admire his well-tailored three price suit. “Resolve? This case is being transferred to the Supreme Court and you're asking to resolve it? There is nothing that can be done unless you want to confess to the police once and for all and then, they'll drop the case. That's all I can do for you. I've already said too much.”Supreme Court? The moment it gets there, it'll go public and there's nothin
CARLISLEThe entire way home, I had one thing on my mind. Each and everyone of them would pay for what they have done. And I was sure of that. How on earth would they do a thing like that to me? Turn against me when I need them the most? Not on my watch. I hated being betrayed and there is no way I would let them get away with something like this. Revenge. It was my tagline before and it seemed like my leniency has affected the way people look at me and now, they've forgotten who they're dealing with. Since Elinna wasn't around, I had nothing stopping me back from going the extra mile to protect my family. “Gomez, get the DA on the line. Tell him I want to see him immediately. Take some men and visit the commissioner's daughter's school and give her a note for her father. Tell her it's from a friend of his. And as for the president, I need dirt. So much dirt that he can't deny. If all this can't work, then we'll go to the next stage.”I had already walked past him when he asked
CARLISLEIt seemed like I was losing it but no. I was thinking. Scheming. Plotting. What was I going to do? Elinna had been so sure that Lizzy and Kael had been killed in the fire so how the hell were they here again? And now, I needed to ask Elinna all these questions and she was nowhere to be found. She had run away from the hospital. At least, if she had a plan, she should have let me know rather than just disappearing. Alex still didn't have any news for me so I was so confused. First off, I had to deal with the police. If something wasn't done about them, then they would ruin everything. “I need to go see the President. He hasn't done anything about this whole thing.” On my way out of the house, something occurred to me. I should talk to someone who can put an end to this bullshit. Before going to the president, I went to see the commissioner. “Excuse me sir, the Commissioner isn't around. He will see you later. You can't go in-”I ignored his secretary and walked into t
ELINNAI took a deep breath. It felt like I was writing an exam and I had the questions right in front of me and I didn't know anything. There were actually a lot of things I wanted to ask but I wasn't privileged to do that so I just had to think. Three questions. One request. “The Book of Knowledge. The last page, what was written on it and why was it torn out?”The trio laughed..“She’s trying to be smart. That's two questions, honey so you have to choose so be smart about it.”Shit. I didn't even realize that. “What was written on the last page of the Book of knowledge?” Crimson looked at both her sisters. “You give us a lot of credit. What makes you think we have read the book? I'm surprised that you have even laid eyes on it. Some people spent their entire lives trying to prove it existed.”Wow. So they hadn't read the book. Ice did tell me that though. I just thought that since they were so respected and feared and they had been around for centuries, they would know about
ELINNA“Do you think Carlisle would have noticed that we were gone by now?” We had been walking for four hours now. And I was hungry, tired and sleep deprived. To make matters worse, I didn't want to tell Lawrence that I didn't know where we were going. Initially, I did but after a while, I lost the way and right now, I think we were walking in circles. “Is it just me or does that tree look familiar?” I didn't dare turn around to look at him because I knew that we had surely passed through this place and I had lost the way. Maybe if we just keep walking around like that, we'll eventually realise where we're going. I pray we find that fast before Lawrence realizes that something is wrong. “Lawrence, is there water somewhere in your bag? My throat's getting kinda-”“Here, let me check.” I was panting heavily and my body felt like falling to the ground but I just couldn't help it. He handed me the water and I tipped my head back, downing as much as I could like a camel out in th
CARLISLEI'd just woken up when I heard a knock on my door. The book I'd been reading last night fell from my hand and I ignored it to open the door. It would most definitely be Gomez coming to tell me that we had something to do today. At this point, everyday was a weekday to me because I always had something to do. “Good morning, My King.” I was surprised to see Alex at my door but with the way he was holding his laptop, I could see the urgency in his eyes and I moved away so he could walk in. “What’s going on? What news do you have?” He set his laptop down and began to type on it and then he turned the screen to me. “Lawrence asked me to look at footage of the accident because he wanted to know who had caused the accident. He didn't think the police would take it seriously, especially with everything that's going on. I just got hands on the footage.” The footage was exactly five minutes. Halfway through the clip, my heart sank because that was when Elinna's car got stuck and
