CHAPTER 21

JENNA’S POV

After coming back from shopping, I tossed away the shopping bags, and kicked off my sandals into a corner before collapsing on the bed. The room was empty so I deduced Rob had gone out.

I felt the need to call, but I was way too exhausted to reach for my phone.

My feets were sore from wearing my sandals that long, and my arms still felt the heavy sensation from the shopping bags.

I laid still on the bed, my eyes staring at nothing in particular.

I couldn

    CHAPTER 122ROB’S POVThe woman at the front desk looked at us as though we were an inconvenience. The sharp sigh from her lips was enough to tell as she dropped down the piece she was knitting. Her lips pressed thin as she swung towards our direction for the second time. “I already told you, we don’t disclose information about any of our residents here. Both old and new, now if you would stop interrupting me.” I didn’t know how long we’d been standing here for, but it was long enough for my patience to start running out. “Ma’am, we just need to confirm if Elena stayed here and if she did you’d be doing us a really huge favour.”“No.” The reply came rather too quickly. “I’m sorry if you don’t leave right now, I might need to call the cops on you.”Before I knew it, Phil had already whipped out his badge. The shiny metal reflecting beneath the fluorescent lights. “We’re investigating a homicide,” he says calmly. “So you can either decide to let this go the easy way or we come back wi

    CHAPTER 121ROB’S POVThe holding room smelled of dust and coffee. I sat rigidly on the metal chair, the sound of metal handcuffs clanked against each other every time I moved. Above me the almost dim fluorescent light flickered at intervals. My irritation heightened along with it. “Let’s try this again,” one of the officers glanced up at me, lazily flipping through a thin file. “I already told you everything.” I leaned back into my chair, letting out a very exhausting sigh. There was no clock in the room and I could only wonder how long I’d been here for. An hour? Two?Another officer who’d been standing at the corner of the room arms crossed inched closer, drawing out one of the chairs across from me. “What was your relationship with Elena like?”“I barely knew her.”The officer raised a brow, scoffing almost immediately. “You really expect us to believe that?”“Yes I do!” I snapped, hitting my cuffed wrists on the table. “She used to work for Isabelle and that’s it.”“And how lo

    CHAPTER 120ROB’S POV“Sure you don’t want to get that?” Phil points towards the direction where my phone had been ringing for the past minute. I grunt out, stretching forward to grab the phone. I’m suprised at the caller. It’s Cassy?I couldn’t think of a proper reason for why she would be calling but one reason kept resonating in my mind. I swiped the answer button instantly. “Cassy! Uhm hi, it’s weird to see your call.” I almost cringed from embarrassment after saying that. Probably not the best idea to spew out exactly what’s on your mind. “Yeah, Rob.” A long exhale followed, almost like she was running out of breath.“Are you okay?”“Yes, yes! I know this is already awkward but it shouldn’t be me you should be worried about….” I chime in before she completes her sentence. “Is Jenna okay? What happened?”“I know I wasn’t supposed to tell you this, but I couldn’t figure out who else to call. Jenna is being irrational right now and she won’t listen to me.”I can feel my body an

    CHAPTER 119ISABELLE’S POV“This is…how? I mean, how did you manage to get all of this?” I said, sounding almost out of breath as I flipped through the file. “You meant to say thank you?” Damien says over my shoulder, but I don’t look his way. I’m too engrossed in what I’m looking at. As much as I knew they were fake, they looked really believable. Every evidence that once and might have connected me to the death of Elena now pointed all to Rob. “Nice huh?” Damien assumed. “With Rob gone, we can finally be together again. Live the life we’ve dreamed.”It feels like the air has stilled around me. I keep my arms folded against my chest, turning my gaze away from the file. “Don’t you think we should find another way around this?” My voice goes small, it’s unlike me. Damien doesn’t answer right away, instead he moves away to the center of the room before lighting his cigar. “I’m talking to you, Damien,” I called out, a little louder than before. I can hear the anger brimming in his

    CHAPTER 118JENNA’S POV“Are you still brooding over what Rob did last week?” Cassy says over the video call, managing to chew so lightly on her French toast. “No, but I have every right to still be mad at him. I mean! You know how long I’d been working my butts off just to secure that deal with the Craters…..”“Yes, but he misses you, Jenna! Don’t you see?”My chair made a small creak as I turned around, my eyes following in the same suit as it orbited hard into my skull and back. I didn’t know what irritated me more. The thought of Rob or the mere mention of him. “I'd rather remain blind, thank you.”“You’re being stubborn.” Cassy clicked her tongue aggressively. “I see the way your eyes soften when I bring him up. Do you a favour and quit lying to yourself.”Me? Stubborn? I could go on to beat the allegations but that could only get me more talks about Rob that I didn’t want to hear about. “I’ve got work to do, bye!”The call ended right before Cassy could even protest. I let ou

    CHAPTER 117ROB’S POV“Seems here he’s been in this school all his life.” Phil muttered, his fingers scratched at his beard as he continued to flip through the pages. “Poor guy, this place was his life.”Turns out Damien had been enrolled in this boarding school since he was a child up until he’d left for college. I couldn’t help but wonder why it was so. “Can we have the lady back here, I’ve got some questions.” I said, still fixed on the file I was reading. Phil dialed into his phone and the lady waltzed in almost immediately. “You asked for me?” She asked, leaning casually into her seat. “Yes!” I replied hurriedly. “Uhm lady…”“Call me Martha, dear.”“Right! Martha. You knew Damien very well, didn’t you?”“Oh yes!” Her voice sang beautifully. “He was amongst our brightest students, too hard to not pick interest into. Sadly his mother passed just before he got admitted into our college.”I couldn’t imagine how distraught he’d have been. “And his father?” I asked almost immedia
